Bai Ju was shocked by Xiao Yao’s simple and rude “I’m shy”. The expression on his face was confused for two seconds before he slowly recovered; then thinking about these words, Old Dog Bai carefully recalled every detail of his relationship with Xiao Yao, and hesitantly asked a fatal question: “Yao Yao… didn’t you say ‘Ying’ means coquettishness?
Xiao Yao wiped his face and said: “It can only be understood but cannot be expressed. This word can express many emotions. Brother Bai, given that your liberal arts level has never improved… I think you can give up understanding the word.”
Bai Ju was choked by the rebuke, and for a moment he didn’t know whether he should continue to be ashamed.
For such a long time, whenever he heard Xiao Yao’s “Ying”, he thought he was acting coquettishly; so, if you count, it was probably possible, maybe, many times, he might have hugged and rubbed his little guardian when he was particularly shy…
To be honest, Old Dog Bai suddenly felt a little painful in his conscience.
His little guardian was already thin-skinned…
Old Dog Bai drooped. He wanted to rub Xiao Yao’s head but didn’t dare to raise his hand, so he had to move forward a little and try to apologize in a low voice: “I’m sorry, Yao Yao… I didn’t figure it out. I will pay attention to it in the future. Don’t be angry with me. OK?”
Xiao Yao originally just explained a few sentences casually, not expecting that Old Dog Bai, whose brain circuit was out of touch with modern times, would understand Internet slang; and he also did not expect that just two sentences that were neither harsh nor accusatory would make Bai Ju show such a look. His expression was extremely apologetic, and his eyes were soft and deep. He felt numb at the same time, but also felt a sense of indebtedness in his heart, as if he was bullying Old Dog Bai.
He couldn’t bear to bully this stupid guy, Old Dog Bai.
Xiao Yao raised his hand and flicked Bai Ju’s forehead and said in a slow voice: “I’m not angry, and I won’t ever be angry with you.”
Xiao Yao actually didn’t quite understand why Bai Ju, a demon king, always became uneasy and escapist because of the slightest disapproval from others. Based on this analysis alone, he felt that Bai Ju may have a knot in his heart, and it may still be a knot that was difficult to resolve. However, Xiao Yao did not want to force Bai Ju to tell him everything. If he could do it, he could just let it go. He just wanted to see his own reflection in his eyes.
His little guardian must be really lifeless. Bai Ju thought that the little guardian was so good.
He tentatively opened his arms, and Old Dog Bai felt that he had to verify what Xiao Yao said: “No. If you’re not angry… give me a hug?”
Xiao Yao glanced at him helplessly, “Okay, okay, give me a hug.”
The young human man stepped forward slightly and was surrounded by Bai Ju’s warm and strong embrace. The unique breath of Bai Ju that hit his face made him feel a little shaken.
His arms tightened slightly, and Bai Ju’s chin touched the human young man’s heart. He rubbed it subconsciously, and Bai Ju suddenly felt that his throat was a little tight.
He felt touched. Old Dog Bai’s words were spinning in his stomach, and his Adam’s apple rolled. He opened his mouth, wanting to say thank you, but he felt that he couldn’t say it.
But, what would be enough?
“Do you still need to use the fitting room?”
His arm was lightly patted and Bai Ju turned his head and saw the dark-skinned clerk giving them an awkward but polite smile.
With a professional smile on his face, the clerk pointed to the two tourists behind him and said to Bai Ju: “I’m really sorry, the fitting rooms in the store are not enough. If you two don’t need it for the time being, can you let these two customers use it first?”
Bai Ju finally reacted, lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yao, then felt embarrassed, and turned to the clerk: “No need…the clothes inside are all to be wrapped up, it’s troublesome.”
The clerk smiled and agreed, then lifted the curtain and walked into the fitting room. He also thoughtfully packed the clothes worn by Xiao Yao and Bai Ju separately; while the two simply wore the two sets of floral shirts they were wearing. After cutting the tag, they went straight out.
There was a port on the east coast of Turtle Island, but it was only for cargo. The landing place for tourists was at Beishan Small Airport, which was far away from the beach attractions. The terrain was flat and there were no dangerous peaks, so it had become a commercial place. Going southeast from the business district, along the gentle slope was the residential area.
It was said to be a residential area, but in fact there were very few local residents on Turtle Island. Most of the houses were B&Bs and scenic villas rented to tourists, there were also some high-priced houses for sale, but they were not something that you could definitely buy even if you had money.
Xiao Yao had never bought a house on Turtle Island but given that there were Chinese and Western demons staying on Turtle Island from time to time, there were still three view villas and eight suites under the name of the Demon Management Bureau, for temporary accommodation of registered demons and Demon Management Bureau staff who occasionally came over for work. According to Xiao Yao’s own needs, when coming to Turtle Island, he would naturally just find a suite to stay in, but this time he was traveling with Old Dog Bai, so Xiao Yao simply took the key to a villa with a view and took Old Dog Bai to check in on the day they landed on the island. The two of them then stored their luggage in a store near the airport and went shopping to buy a bunch of things. However, this time they went out without anyone like Hou Jing, so it was inconvenient for them to carry too many things, so after visiting four or five stores and shopping two large bags worth of things, the two of them called a car and took a taxi to the scenic villa early so that they could tidy up and rest at night.
Old Dog Bai was already quite familiar with modern living facilities. He was familiar with it and wanted to coax Xiao Yao, so he volunteered to store luggage, ask for directions and get a taxi.
So, when Bai Ju successfully opened the door of the scenic villa with a bunch of things, he felt like he had gained something. Xiao Yao also praised him without hesitation.
Old Dog Bai stood at the entrance, surrounded by luggage and trophies from the two’s shopping. He obviously didn’t do anything particularly impressive along the way, but he looked at his little guardian who was smiling at him with approval and Bai Ju’s old heart almost swelled to the sky. Bai Ju felt that his chest was full of joy, and he actually felt that he was quite proud of bringing the little guardian back to the house.
Seeing Bai Ju’s expression like a child begging for praise, he couldn’t help but laugh; then he pulled the suitcase casually, followed the layout plan he had seen before to find the bedroom, and did not forget to remind Bai Ju behind him: “Brother Bai, let’s put things in order first.”
When Bai Ju heard this, he picked up two big bags of things and followed Xiao Yao as a matter of course: “Where should we stay? I remember there was a room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony…”
Xiao Yao walked up the stairs, clasped his arms with his fingers and lifted them slightly, then steadily picked up the large suitcase containing all the outfits of the two of them, still thinking about how to arrange the next trip in his mind? After hearing Bai Ju’s words, he subconsciously replied: “The one in the middle of the second floor, the first door when we go up and turn right is -”
Xiao Yao paused suddenly and realized that his thoughts had gone astray with Old Dog Bai, and he had never thought that the two of them should actually sleep in separate rooms… There was nothing wrong with two grown men sleeping in the same room, but Xiao Yao knew very well that he wasn’t so straight, so even when he went out with Qu Lang, he would consciously sleep in separate rooms or beds. He was really poisoned by this old dog.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and the big suitcase in his hand suddenly lightened up. Bai Ju, who was following behind, saw him stop and put the two bags of things in his hands together, freeing his hand to give Xiao Yao a hand: “Is it a little heavy?”
Bai Ju lifted the suitcase up thoughtfully and lowered his eyes to see if Xiao Yao’s palms were red.
Xiao Yao came back to his senses, took the suitcase again, shook his head and walked up the stairs: “No, it’s not heavy. I was just distracted.”
“Oh…” Bai Ju responded without knowing why and saw Xiao Yao there was walking swiftly on the stairs, so he simply followed him.
The size of the scenic villa was not particularly large. Compared with Xiao Yao’s mansion in the Demon Management Bureau, it was actually about the same size. Turtle Island was a leisure and tourist place after all, and this scenic villa was usually reserved for demons who lived in seclusion. The furnishings inside were also quite simple. After all, many demons didn’t need human food, electronic products, etc. Therefore, there were not many rooms inside the villa, and the space was relatively spacious.
The master bedroom on the second floor faced the south in a regular manner, with thick blackout curtains inside the wide floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors. Outside was a large balcony with coffee tables, stools and the like; there should be people cleaning the room often. So, when the two opened the curtains, they found that there was basically no dust here.
Inside the bedroom, there was an oversized bed. Unlike the ordinary double bed that was about two meters wide, this bed was about four meters wide and more than five meters long. It was actually designed for some larger demons; but now Xiao Yao was “having evil intentions”. After entering the house, he couldn’t help but pay attention to the bed.
It looked very soft…
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Yao suddenly felt his back sinking, and the shirt folded in his hands lost its shape. When Xiao Yao stumbled, he was hit by the old man Bai who quietly approached behind him in his dog form and lay on the bed.
Seeing that the little guardian was so distracted, the old white dog thought he seemed to want to go and lie down on the big bed. So the considerate old white dog waved his hand and threw out a dozen white-haired little people as big as a palm and asked them to sort the bits and pieces into categories, while he himself crept closer behind Xiao Yao, fished him out with both hands like catching a fish, and locked the person firmly in his arms.
Xiao Yao was pressed into the fluffy quilt, and his field of vision was instantly filled with gray quilt; then his eyes widened slightly, and his heart skipped several beats.
Did this old dog know what he was doing?!
As Bai Ju pressed up, Xiao Yao could feel the warmth on his back; from his chest to his waist and abdomen, it was tightly attached to him, and he even felt like he was bumped by Old Dog Bai’s hip bone.
…It’s simply too late.
Xiao Yao subconsciously clenched the fabric of the shirt in his hand. Bai Ju’s breath behind him hit his ears, causing his throat to tighten and the back of his head to freeze. Unable to hold it back, he let out a thin whimper.
Bai Ju, who was about to speak, was startled: “…” He seemed to hear some strange sound.
Xiao Yao couldn’t wait to withdraw the voice message: “…” For the first time, he knew that he could still make such a shameful voice.
An awkward silence suddenly spread in the room.
Bai Ju’s little furry men were still sorting out the wardrobe, and the rustling sounds made the room seem quieter.
It was so quiet that people could clearly hear the heart in Xiao Yao’s chest, pounding, pounding, pounding, and beginning to pound faster.
“…Yao Yao?” Bai Ju opened his mouth. He didn’t know why, but listening to Xiao Yao’s heartbeat, Old Dog Bai felt that his own heartbeat was also infected. It became louder one after another.
“Yao Yao…” Old Dog Bai swallowed and stammered, “Your heart is beating so fast.”
