Qu Lang’s poor skill in changing the subject obviously failed to shake the three people’s attention.
The atmosphere went slightly stagnant, so Qu Lang restrained his expression, pondered for a moment, and then said frankly: “I can’t tell you everything clearly. I can only say that I joined the Special Service Bureau in order to get in touch with the front-line intelligence system and track down some things that happened in the past.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao slightly shifted his gaze and tightened his hold around Bai Ju’s wrist, with a dazed look.
Bai Ju glanced at Xiao Yao worriedly, moved closer, and asked in a voice transmission: “Does it have anything to do with you?”
Xiao Yao nodded imperceptibly, turned over Bai Ju’s palm with a little force, and wrote on his palm: “Eight out of ten times.”
Bai Ju frowned, bent his fingers to hold Xiao Yao’s fingers in his palm, and squeezed them soothingly: “Don’t worry too much… Qu Lang must have his own ideas. Let’s pay more attention to him in the future. With me here, I will definitely protect him well.”
Xiao Yao moved his buttocks closer to Bai Ju, leaned against him a little, and relieved himself of his burden as he supported him.
The reason why Qu Lang joined the Secret Service Bureau was partly due to his missing memory. He only knew that Qu Lang joined the Secret Service Bureau to investigate something he had encountered before, but he could not remember what Qu Lang was investigating.
The young Qu Lang, who dragged his luggage and joined the Secret Service Bureau’s preliminary team without saying a word, was only fifteen or sixteen years old. His bones were immature and his height had just begun to grow. Standing among a group of tall and strong soldiers, he looked like a stubborn and small bean sprout with a big head.
God knows how much effort this guy has put in to grow from that appearance to what he is now.
But he didn’t remember anything.
Every time Xiao Yao thought of these things, he felt suffocated.
It’s not just because of that, Qu Lang’s efforts also gave him a kind of frustration similar to “the son grows up and doesn’t listen to his father”.
After all, Bai Ju didn’t know what happened between the two people in the past, and Old Dog Bai’s EQ was so low that even if he knew everything from before, he would find it difficult to understand all the emotions of the two people; therefore, when Xiao Yao came over, Bai Ju didn’t say anything more, but just lifted his hand and pressed Xiao Yao’s head to make him lean more comfortably.
Shao Simiao was still thinking seriously about his future, so he rarely didn’t notice the actions of the two big guys around him. Instead, Qu Lang looked at Xiao Yao’s little movements and couldn’t help blinking.
My goodness, his brother Xiao is getting more and more skilled in acting like a spoiled child, all because of Bai Wang’s indulgence. Shao Simiao, who was drunk while everyone else was awake, thought hard for a long time, and surrendered dizzily with his head covered: “Can, can you give me some more time to think? I can’t think of it-“
Xiao Yao smiled when he heard it: “It’s okay, I am not forcing you to make a choice tonight. After all, this is also a major event in your life, related to your future life, it’s right to be cautious.”
Shao Simiao scratched his hair in distress.
Maybe it was because Qu Lang treated him too naturally before, and he subconsciously regarded joining Qu Lang’s organization as the first option when he just came into contact with the new world; it could be said that if Xiao Yao hadn’t asked him these questions, by the time he reacted, he would have joined the troubled Special Service Bureau in a daze.
Now that all the options were listed in front of him, Shao Simiao recognized the current situation and could not make a choice on his own; unlike everything he had encountered before, he had no idea which choice was the most suitable for this question.
“Brother Qu, I’m sorry…” Shao Simiao hung his head dejectedly, his fingers clasped together helplessly; as if to sort out his thoughts, then he spoke softly, but quickly began to mutter, “I, I only know now that I shouldn’t return to the status quo…”
“From the information you gave me before, I can guess that the warlock world in China is not very stable now. Once I step into this field, I will have to pay a price if I want to withdraw. If it’s just money, it’s fine. But if I become an ordinary person who knows nothing with your help, and then get targeted by some other insiders… I’m afraid that I will implicate my family unknowingly.”
“From just the tip of the iceberg, I guess that the warlocks can use many methods to investigate my awakening on Turtle Island, so erasing this matter will at most blind me. I need to join you, but I don’t know which one to join.”
Shao Simiao couldn’t help burying his face in his palms, his voice so low that he trembled a little: “It’s really… too scary.”
The straight male anchor, Barbecued Pork Bun, who had always been like a little sun, now dropped his pretended relaxed demeanor.
Qu Lang slowly leaned against the pillar of the pavilion.
He fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Bai Ju put his arm around Xiao Yao’s shoulders, looked at Shao Simiao scrutinizingly for two seconds, then tilted his head and kissed Xiao Yao’s head.
While his boyfriend hadn’t looked up yet, Bai Ju understood Xiao Yao’s intention, let him lean on his neck obediently, so he coaxed him softly, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Yao was stunned, and a lot of sour feelings in his heart were stirred, which made him curl his eyes.
Old Dog Bai’s brain circuit was also quite simple. He probably felt that he had been afraid before and wanted to comfort him. It must be said that Xiao Yao, who didn’t remember what he had experienced, still felt that it was very useful. It might also be related to his love filter.
Silence spread in the pavilion. For a long time, they could only hear Shao Simiao’s slightly trembling breathing.
Probably after calming down a little, Shao Simiao sniffed, let go of his hand, lowered his head and said sullenly: “Brother Qu, although I’m not sure whether to join the Special Service Bureau or not, but… but after I return to Beijing, can you still help me explain the facts to my family?”
Qu Lang was a little distracted. He turned his head when he heard the words, smiled tolerantly, and reached out to press Shao Simiao’s head: “Don’t look like you’ve been bullied; just because you call me brother, I can help you explain it.”
“Thank you, brother. “Shao Simiao pursed his lips, rubbed his eyes in embarrassment, and stood up, “Let’s go then, the Haiyin Castle activities are almost over.”
Qu Lang also stood up and stretched, “Okay, there were too many people today, and we couldn’t do much – let’s go and call Jing Xia, let’s go back and have a good rest, and we can solve any problems tomorrow.”
As he said that, Qu Lang patted Shao Simiao on the back and joked, “Do you still need me, your brother, to sleep with you today?”
Shao Simiao: “…”
Shao Simiao’s face suddenly turned red, and he wished he could drag his past self out and beat him up for begging Captain Qu to stay overnight.
“No, no need,” Shao Simiao took a deep breath, clenched his fists and encouraged himself, “Sooner or later, sooner or later I have to adapt, I, I am a man, I, I can do it!”
Qu Lang: “…” Then please stop stuttering.
Turning around and stepping out of the pavilion first, Qu Lang waved his hand behind him to signal others to follow: “That’s not good, little man.”
“It’s getting late, Captain Qu, I don’t want to pack up and leave, I have to stay at your place for another night.”
….
After leaving the pavilion, Bai Ju and Xiao Yao fell behind by two steps. Halfway through, they asked Qu Lang and Shao Simiao to go find Jing Xia and Red Fox. While they still separated from the main group and acted alone.
Bai Ju had accumulated some small questions while listening to Xiao Yao’s talk before, so he simply left Haiyin Castle and walked down the mountain with Xiao Yao while talking in bits and pieces.
“…That’s probably it. Most of the things I forgot are not pleasant memories. Qu Lang has been hiding it from me.” Xiao Yao smiled and took Bai Ju’s hand and walked slowly. “He joined the Special Intelligence Bureau to investigate the past. From this point of view, I think someone tried to harm me… But I don’t know if that person succeeded; considering that I am alive and well now and have no injuries on my body, it is estimated that the other party either failed or only succeeded halfway and failed to completely destroy me.”
Bai Ju was mentally prepared to listen to Xiao Yao’s past experiences, but when he heard this, he couldn’t help but clench his palms.
His Yao Yao was so good, but he was framed by others… People with the Emperor’s Fate had to face many ups and downs. What simple experiences were not life-threatening?
“If you have any clues, or if you can use me, please remember to tell me.” Bai Ju couldn’t help but speak, “I missed the first twenty years of your life and didn’t meet you earlier… Yao Yao, I even think, if I had awakened when you just came to this world, if you were raised by me, and I was involved in every bit of it-“
Then he would definitely not let Xiao Yao suffer too much pain, and he would be able to bear all the punishments for disobeying the Emperor’s Fate.
“But… but if that were the case, you wouldn’t have grown into what you are now.” Bai Ju knew those cruel rules, “All suffering is a treasure; it is everything you have in the past that has refined your soul and polished it into the shape I love.”
Bai Ju kissed the top of Xiao Yao’s head distressedly and whispered, “Yao Yao, can you share half of your suffering with me in the future?”
“I shouldn’t stop you from experiencing any suffering, but I hope to share it with you in the future.”
Xiao Yao tilted his head and met Bai Ju’s serious gaze, and his heart softened.
This old dog… Obviously, he still hid a lot of history from him so that he wouldn’t feel distressed, but now he was so distressed that he lost half his life just by imagining his past experiences. How could he be so stupid and so warm.
Lifting his head and biting Bai Ju’s slightly pale lips to give them color, Xiao Yao’s eyes turned soft, and he said in accordance with Bai Ju’s meaning: “It’s a deal. From now on, all my sweetness and suffering will be shared with you in half.”
Bai Ju licked the corner of his mouth, and suddenly hooked his lips cunningly, with a hidden golden light in his deep eyes; he then smiled and whispered: “Well, the oath is established.”
“….” Xiao Yao only felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and then he felt a subtle connection between him and Bai Ju, as if it was a secret contract.
“Brother Bai, you…you made a contract with me?” Xiao Yao touched his heart in surprise. He had never seen such a method before.
Bai Ju laughed and stretched out his arms, picked up Xiao Yao and put him on his back: “Hehe, this is the method of us dog demons.”
Old Dog Bai wagged his tail proudly and carried his boyfriend home: “We dogs are loyal by nature, so our talents basically rely on the power of promises. Things we promised will be blessed, and there is a binding force similar to Taoism. My parents were very accomplished in this area. They taught me to develop this talent into a form of contract.”
“Whether it’s me to others or others to me, as long as the oath is based on trust, I can get that binding force of a contract.”
“Now you can’t run away.”
The author has something to say:
Old Dog Bai: Unexpected!
Hahaha, as I was writing I realized that Captain Qu and Barbecued Pork Bun might really have a chance~ [rub hands jg]
