“What’s wrong with it? There’re true feelings and love everywhere in this world. It’s fine as long as you love each other,” Xiao Xiao turned the pages of the comic book with gleaming eyes and asked, “But the situation at the moment is that your dad doesn’t like you. Don’t you worry, you can’t imagine how big the army behind you is.”

“Army? What army?” Bai Wu asked puzzledly. ‘Could it be that there are other followers of mine in this world?’ He thought.

“Uhm… Forget about it. You just have to know that your master is amazing,” Xiao Xiao waved her hand impatiently because Bai Wu was bombarding her with questions when she was at the climax of the comic.

“Hmm… What are you reading?” Bai Wu nodded his head after giving a thought. He was quite interested when he saw Xiao Xiao looking at colorful pictures.

“Oh, this? Comics. Do you want to see it? You can use it as a reference and put it to practice in the future,” Xiao Xiao took one of the BL comic books ¹ and passed it to Bai Wu.

Bai Wu immediately shut the book closed after turning to the first page. He glared Xiao Xiao with a flushed face and asked, “You… How can you look at these things?”

“What? You don’t want it? Then return to me.” Xiao Xiao did not anticipate Bai Wu’s reaction and reached out to take it back.

Bai Wu hid the book behind his back with a reddened face and said softly with his head lowered, “I want!”

“If you have any queries, just search it online. They have very detailed explanations.”

“Uhm,” Bai Wu answered softly, where his ears were so red that as if it was gonna bleed.

“He he! Don’t need to be so shy okay? If you’re this shy, how will you make me feel, as a girl? Don’t you think I need face too?” Xiao Xiao reacted as if she was going to snatch the comic book away. Bai Wu quickly protected it by hugging it between his arms.

“You said that it’s for me!” Bai Wu said loudly with a reddened face.

“I can give you this, but you’ll need to send a photo of you two after you succeed, deal?” Xiao Xiao used this opportunity to get welfare for the fellow comrades who contributed the ideas and suggestions.

“What photo?” Bai Wu asked.

“How about something like the one you saw on the first page just now?”

“No!” Bai Wu rejected sternly!

“Such a scrooge. What about just a photo of you guys holding hands, surely this can be done?” Xiao Xiao curled her lips and said miserably.

“What are you guys doing!” Xu Lan stood at the door and stared at both of them with a blackened face. He was standing there since Xiao Xiao reached out to snatch the thing behind Bai Wu’s back. Bai Wu did not notice him even after such a long time!

Xu Lan was suppressing his anger, but he did not even know why he was angry.

“Papa!” Bai Wu tossed the comic book to Xiao Xiao as if it was a hot potato and ran towards Xu Lan’s arms joyously, “Papa, you’re back.”

Xu Lan looked at Bai Wu coldly while he hugged him coquettishly. He remained silent with a long face, as he recalled that Bai Wu threw something towards Xiao Xiao just now.

“My father will be back at night, you don’t have to cook dinner for me, Bai Wu,” Xiao Xiao pretended to say pitifully, ignoring Xu Lan’s surprised expression.

“Okay. Papa, let’s go home. I cooked mung bean porridge today, cause Xiao Xiao mentioned that Papa’s quite heaty, this can cool you down,” Bai Wu said pamperingly while he reached out to hold Xu Lan’s hand.

“Walk by yourself! You’re a grown person!” Who knew that Xu Lan immediately flung his hand away and strutted his way upstairs.

“Why don’t you go to the cafe anymore? You were hanging out with Xiao Xiao from downstairs throughout the day?” Xu Lan could not suppress his anger. He deliberately inquired about him from the surrounding neighbors that were managing the place when he came home.
