Xiao Yao was almost cooked by a weak “You are not good”.
The tone of the white old dog’s speech did not mean that he disliked him for not being good. It clearly sounded like “You are so cute.”
Xiao Yao hurriedly got up from Bai Ju. He said “I’m going to wash up” and ran away. He shut himself into the bathroom in a few seconds, leaned over to the sink and turned on the cold water. His face was turning red, and his heart was still beating like crazy in his chest.
Stop fu**ing around! Xiao Yao rubbed his face fiercely, raised his finger and poked the person in the mirror. He mouthed: “Can you be more reserved?”
Maybe it was not possible. Xiao Yao took a deep breath, patted his heart, poured himself water and started brushing his teeth.
Bai Ju, who was left on the bed, felt that his arms had become empty, and the young human man had run away nimbly; then he thought of what he had just seen at a glance, the tips of the human’s ears were red, thinking of that Bai Ju couldn’t help but smile, and he sat up cross-legged. It was good that the human was not well-behaved. There was no point in living so rigidly when he had nothing to do.
Bai Ju stepped across the floor with his bare feet, stopped at the bathroom door, raised his hand and knocked gently, “Yao Yao,” Bai Ju said against the crack of the door, “Yao Yao, I’m going downstairs first.”
Xiao Yao was caught off guard when he heard a knock on the door. He almost thought that Bai Ju was coming in, and a mouthful of toothpaste foam got stuck in his throat. Then he heard the old dog talking, and Xiao Yao, who was full of yellow waste, finally came to his senses and responded vaguely.
The upright Old Dog Bai didn’t think there was anything wrong with knocking on the bathroom door and talking. He walked downstairs in a bright mood and wandered around the kitchen for a while, but remembering that he had agreed to hand over the task of meal preparation to Xiao Yao, he came out of the kitchen, walked to the living room, lay down on the sofa, and stretched out. He stayed with Xiao Yao all night. Although Bai Ju didn’t need much sleep, he still had almost ten hours of sleep. After not moving for an hour, Bai Ju stretched his arms above his head and slowly turned his gaze to the guest room on the first floor.
He remembered that the guest room on the first floor also had a bathroom, so he could take a hot shower. It should… be quite comfortable.
Xiao Yao went downstairs to make breakfast. When he passed by the living room, he didn’t see Bai Ju. He thought the old dog had gone into the study, so he went straight to the kitchen without thinking.
After cooking the porridge and frying two side dishes, he was a little puzzled because he didn’t see Bai Ju.
The old dog had a very good nose, and he could turn his head just by lifting the lid of the pot. Seeing Bai Ju not poking his head at the door of the kitchen, what happened today?
“Brother Bai,” Xiao Yao took off his apron and walked through the living room to the study, “Brother Bai? Where are you? Won’t you have breakfast.”
Not in the study.
Xiao Yao packed up the two books on the table, rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the study with his head lowered: “Bai…”
The remaining half of the sound was knocked back into the throat by the sensation of cool skin, Xiao Yao’s footsteps paused, then a familiar arm came up from behind and held him steady.
Bai Ju was still covered in moisture from the bathroom. When he heard Xiao Yao calling him while he was soaking in the bathtub, he came out and changed his clothes. He was only wearing pants and his hair was still wet. In order to prevent his hair wetting his shirt, Bai Ju didn’t put on a shirt at all.
Old Dog Bai didn’t know how arrogant he looked. When he saw Xiao Yao standing firm, he let go and picked the towel around his neck up. He wiped his hair with the towel and replied slowly, “Be careful when you walk, I’m here… I just took a bath, it’s quite comfortable.”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao stared at the naked chest muscles that were very close at hand and watched helplessly as a few water drops rolled down from Bai Ju’s straight clavicle, slowly sliding down along the grooves in the texture. He couldn’t even hear what Bai Ju said.
This old dog was a demon. He was always clean and had no need to take a bath. Xiao Yao had never had such a mental preparation to face the old white dog coming out of the bath one day.
The white dog was still thinking about his bathing experience. He felt that the towel could not dry his hair, so he rolled it with a little flame to dry it, and slowly turned around to get ready for breakfast. Seeing that Xiao Yao didn’t follow, he stretched out his hand to pull him: “Yao Yao, let’s go…”
Xiao Yao was held by the hand and walked for two steps. Finally, he recovered a little from the impact of the old dog’s looks, and suddenly raised his hand to pinch his nose, took away the hand held by Old Dog Bai, turned around and ran out a few steps, then ran up the stairs, saying in a muffled voice: “Brother Bai, you eat first, I have a stomachache, I’ll be down later.!”
Bai Ju: “…”
What was this little guardian doing again? Why was he covering his nose when it was his stomach that was hurting… It was not like there was no bathroom on the first floor.
Old Dog Bai shook his empty palm and felt that the young human being was really getting more and more tiring and also getting harder and harder to understand.
Xiao Yao obviously didn’t really have a stomachache, so Bai Ju didn’t investigate why he suddenly ran upstairs; people always needed some private space, and Old Dog Bai was quite reasonable and stood there for a while.
After a while, he turned around and put the towel around his neck back in the bathroom, put on his fur shirt again, and sat down at the dining table.
The porridge cooked by his little guardian was much better than the one he made himself.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Yao came downstairs with wet hair. He felt that his life would be shortened if he continued like this.
Xiao Yao’s body was not prone to nosebleeds, but the situation was just so stimulating; Old Dog Bai’s neck, collarbone and chest muscles were stained with water drops. With the pounding in his mind, Xiao Yaoyao, who had been quiet for many years, almost rose up, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress it.
In the kitchen, Bai Ju was quietly eating breakfast; he was sitting relaxedly on the back of the chair, with Bai Ju in his hands. Holding a bowl of porridge, Bai Ju slowly sipped it in small sips, obviously waiting for someone.
When he heard Xiao Yao coming downstairs, his eyes lit up slightly, and he leaned over to take out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xiao Yao who came in, in a flattering manner.
Xiao Yao had been annoyed by this guy all morning. Seeing how skillful this old dog was in trying to please and behave, he couldn’t help but laugh and scratch his forehead. He took the chopsticks, pulled out the stool, and sat down to eat.
What else could he do? He had to take good care of this stupid dog.
But Bai Ju didn’t reveal everything about the morning so easily.
The two of them couldn’t go out before the travel ban was lifted, so Qiu Ziran was caught in the process and called alone to learn about the details related to Sun Daiyang and that audition.
Xiao Yao arranged the affairs directly online and simply let himself go on a holiday on the grounds that his movements were restricted. If he didn’t take the initiative to interfere in a large number of affairs of the Demon Management Bureau, it could also make the meeting with the Demon Management Bureau committee easier, and he might also not be targeted by the Warlock Association or something.
Old Dog Bai had been staring at Xiao Yao’s work for a day, and the laptop in his hand. The teaching video which was playing on it started to repeat for the fourth time. Seeing that Xiao Yao finally stopped working and turned off the computer, Bai Ju immediately closed his laptop and followed Xiao Yao out of the study.
Xiao Yao originally wanted to discuss with Bai Ju about going on a trip and giving him a gift. When Bai Ju hunted for him, seeing that Bai Ju looked like he couldn’t hold back something he had in his stomach, he had no choice but to sit on the sofa and pat the seat next to him, letting the old dog sit down and talk.
Bai Ju sat down next to Xiao Yao silently, thought for a while, then reached out to hug him, but Xiao Yao grabbed the skin on the back of his hand.
Xiao Yao put Old Dog Bai’s hand back, not wanting to get angry again, so he asked simply: “Brother Bai, you’ve been holding it in all day, why is it so difficult to talk about it?”
Bai Ju looked at the back of his hand, then he looked at the ten centimeters distance that Xiao Yao had quietly created between them, and a sense of crisis that he was about to be alienated by his little guardian again came to his heart. Old Dog Bai was desperate and decided to stabilize the person first: “Yao Yao, can you let me hold you?”
Xiao Yao: “…” This straight ball is a foul.
Bai Ju saw Xiao Yao’s blank face where he said nothing, so he simply took action to get closer. With a long arm, he picked Xiao Yao up and put him on his lap without any explanation.
Pulling the little guardian into his arms, Bai Ju felt a little more at ease. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: “Yao Yao, what’s wrong with you today… You’ve been avoiding me since you got up in the morning, right? Is it that I smell?”
He was not allowed to be held or touched, nor did he take the initiative to smooth his hair; he even covered his nose to avoid him before eating breakfast.
Bai Ju didn’t think much about it in the morning, but after Xiao Yao hid a lot later, he couldn’t help but go back and think about what happened before. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Yao really smelled something on him.
What if he couldn’t smell it as a dog, but Xiao Yao could smell it as a human warlock… For example, he couldn’t smell his own demonic smell, but Xiao Yao should be able to smell it.
What if because he took a bath today, the evil smell came out, and Xiao Yao happened to hate the smell.
Old Dog Bai spent a whole day in silence and was almost losing his hair. He even started searching for perfume and other things on his mobile phone and threw a lot of them into his shopping cart.
Xiao Yao had no idea where this dog’s brain was going. He was trapped by Bai Ju and couldn’t escape. He could only freeze and let himself be hugged. He took a deep breath and then found an excuse to explain: “Brother Bai, I didn’t mean to avoid you… But after all, I am an adult, not a child, so I can’t stick to you all the time. Otherwise, if I get used to it and do this when we go out, it will be too disgraceful as a director.”
Bai Ju stared at him faintly: “Aren’t you young?”
Xiao Yao couldn’t laugh or cry: “I’m twenty-four, almost twenty-five, how can I be called young?”
Old Dog Bai was justified: “You’re only twenty-four or five, how can you not be called young?”
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao was dumbfounded, moved his legs uncomfortably, suddenly froze, and whispered: “How can I be called young?”
Bai Ju felt that this young man was still as stubborn as ever, but he somehow knew. Xiao Yao didn’t dislike him, so he hugged him and shook his head, bumping his head, and muttered aggrievedly:
“Yao Yao, I thought you disliked me, or were getting angry and wanted to alienate me again…”
“You are still turning up your nose to me, I obviously tried to smell delicious!”
Xiao Yao was hit by Bai Ju and his head cracked. He pushed Old Dog Bai’s head away with a headache, and there was still a loop in his ears. As he heard “smell delicious”, he felt that this old dog was simply poisonous.
Was becoming a sweet-smelling dog something you, a majestic demon king, should be proud of?
Xiao Yao helplessly rubbed two handfuls of Bai Ju’s dog head, rubbed Bai Ju’s scalp with his fingers, and said with an extremely sincere attitude: “Brother Bai, it’s my fault. I won’t avoid you on purpose in the future… You don’t need to treat yourself either. The smell is not suspicious-“
Xiao Yao paused, thinking of Bai Ju’s light and soft smell of sunlight and leaves and fruits, he accidentally said the truth: “You are very fragrant.”

The fragrant attack…cough.
