The early morning sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and fell on the light gray quilt in the bedroom, curving the arc of two bodies that were closely nestled together.
Xiao Yao opened his eyes in a daze. At that time, he noticed that the Old Dog Bai next to him this morning was different from before. Before, Old Dog Bai would look at him when he got up, but his gaze was usually quite gentle, but he was not as inexplicably present as Xiao Yao was today.
He raised his hand to rub the corner of his eyes, but the arm behind him stiffened, and he patted his back comfortingly.
After reacting, Bai Ju came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and coaxed in a low voice: “It’s still early, let’s sleep a little longer…”
Xiao Yao blinked twice, relaxedly stretched out his arms to hug Bai Ju, and rubbed the side of his face against his chest: “Well… I won’t sleep anymore. Let’s have something to eat later and we’ll get a good seat on the beach early.”
Bai Ju seemed to be a little distracted. He naturally drew his arms together and stroked Xiao Yao’s back a few more times before regaining his composure: “…Ah, that’s fine, let’s get up.”
Xiao Yao raised his face from Bai Ju’s chest, looked at Bai Ju’s sharp Adam’s apple line, and waited for the old dog to let go and let him get out of bed.
Bai Ju was distracted again, clearly saying “Okay”, but in fact after picking up Xiao Yao, Old Dog Bai held the man in his arms and stopped moving.
Xiao Yao: “…”
Xiao Yao waited for a while, then he smiled and patted the old dog on the shoulder to remind him: “Brother, Brother Bai, wake up.”
“Oh oh oh oh…” Old Dog Bai’s tiger body trembled, as Xiao Yao called him back to the world. The “Guardian” entry that had been running around in his mind all night was temporarily extinguished.
After a while, Xiao Yao was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. Through the frosted glass between the bedroom and the bathroom, he looked up and saw Bai Ju making the bed and standing there in a daze.
After washing, Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly, then he walked to the closet to get his clothes and asked Old Dog Bai: “Brother Bai, what are you thinking about this early in the morning? Didn’t you sleep at night?”
Bai Ju turned around and looked at the relaxed little guardian. The question he had been thinking about all night just ran out of his mouth: “Yao Yao, tell me, what do the people in your bureau think? Ah… why did you invite me down the mountain and became my guardian?” Old Dog Bai was puzzled: “Do you really want to be my father?”
Xiao Yao grabbed the handle of the closet door, moved for a moment, and then burst into laughter: “I said what’s going on… Brother Bai, did you search for the meaning of guardian?”
Bai Ju touched his nose and nodded sheepishly. The explanation of the entry was a bit confusing, and Bai Ju didn’t understand it very well, but he still understood that guardianship was usually held by parents, grandparents or other elders.
Xiao Yao carried two sets of clothes out, turned around and closed the wardrobe, glanced at Bai Ju with a smile, and threw the clothes over: “That’s just a legal interpretation, I guess you can’t bear those winding words. You don’t understand much… you need to change your clothes and get ready to go out.”
Xiao Yao said, carrying his clothes and walking to the dressing room. He explained to Bai Ju through the door panel: “The Demon Management Bureau hired you to come down the mountain. Naturally, there must be some control measures. I am only responsible for supervising your behavior in the human world and providing you education as appropriate, the difference between responsibilities and guardianship in the strict sense is quite large. However, in this case, it is difficult to express the relationship between me and you. After all, we have to live together, and it is difficult to define it by a certain profession… The demon king and his guardian are almost the most suitable expression of that.”
Although Xiao Yao once joked about asking Bai Ju to call him daddy, he was just teasing the old dog after all. Now that Bai Ju had begun to wonder about the meaning of “guardian”, he still had to explain it seriously.
But Bai Ju still felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
At first, he thought that guardians were human beings who needed to be supervised and protected by him. While he had a sense of mission and responsibility, he also developed some concern and love for this human being; after all, Old Dog Bai, who was extremely caring, suddenly learned that there was a human being willing to take care of him. It felt like a big pie fell from the sky, and it contained the little toy he wanted most.
Later, in the process of getting along with Xiao Yao, Bai Ju was extremely satisfied with this little guardian.
He was good-looking, well-behaved, good at cooking, and loved to act coquettishly. He was a bit unpredictable at times, but it didn’t affect Old Dog Bai’s feelings towards this person at all. There was an appropriate judgment; even if there was some generation gap (Mariana Trench) between them because of the different living eras, Bai Ju himself felt that after taking some courses, this would no longer constitute a communication barrier. It was always easy to adapt to the long and good days; Old Dog Bai accepted this human from the bottom of his heart, put him into a protective circle, and regarded the “little guardian” as a very, very special person who was very, very suitable to be placed in his heart. The title…
But he was suddenly told that “guardian” was not a very special word, and it was far from his initial understanding. Old Dog Bai was very resistant to it, so he didn’t sleep all night. Staring at Xiao Yao’s sleeping face, he wondered from the strands of his hair to the tips of his eyelashes: Why couldn’t such a well-behaved and annoying young man be his exclusive, very close and intimate person?
He put on floral shirt and shorts and hung the pajamas with a Samoyed printed on them that his little guardian had specially bought for him in his arms. He then sighed.
In this case, what reason would he find to continue treating the young human being well. Should he continue being trapped in his own den?
