Chapter Forty
Chapter 40
The morning sunlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the light gray bedding in the bedroom, bending out the arc of two bodies cuddling close to each other.
When Xiao Yao opened his eyes in a daze, he realized that the old white dog beside him this morning was not in the same state as before.
Old Baigou would watch him get up before, but his gaze was generally quite gentle, not as inexplicably present as it is today.
Just as Xiao Yao raised his hand to rub the corners of his eyes, the arm behind him froze, and he patted his back reassuringly.
Bai Ju who had reacted came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, and coaxed in a low voice: "It's still early, sleep a little longer..."
Xiao Yao blinked twice, stretched out his arms to hug Bai Ju in a relaxed manner, and rubbed his face gently against the skirt of his chest: "Well... I won't sleep anymore. Let's eat something later, let's go to the beach early to take a nap." A good seat."
Bai Ju still seemed to be a little distracted, his arms were naturally closed, and he slid behind Xiao Yao's back a few times before he regained his senses: "...ah, that's fine, then get up."
Xiao Yao raised his face from Baiju's chest, looked at Baiju's sharp Adam's apple, and waited for the old dog to let him get off the bed.
Bai Ju was distracted again, obviously saying "yes", but in fact, after a few hands with Xiao Yao, the old dog Bai took him into his arms again and stopped moving.
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao waited for a while, then raised his hand and patted the old dog's shoulder with a broken smile, reminding him: "Brother, Brother Bai, wake up."
"Oh oh oh oh..." The white old dog was shocked, and was called back to the world by Xiao Yao's brother, and the "guardian" entry that had been running around in his mind all night was temporarily silent.
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 made the bed and stood beside him in a daze, so he shook his head helplessly.
After washing, Xiao Yao pushed open the bathroom door, went to the closet to get clothes and asked Bai Laogou: "Brother Bai, what were you thinking about this early in the morning? Did you sleep at night?"
Bai Ju turned his head and looked at the relaxed little guardian, and the question that he hadn't thought through all night just came out of his mouth like this: "Yaoyao, tell me, what do the people in your bureau think? ... Invite me down the mountain, and find my father for me."
The old white dog was puzzled: "Do you really want to be my father?"
Xiao Yao grabbed the handle of the closet door, paused, and then burst out laughing: "I said what's going on...Brother Bai, did you search for the meaning of the guardian?"
Bai Ju rubbed his nose and nodded embarrassedly. What was explained in the entry was a bit of a mouthful, and Bai Ju didn't understand it very well, but he still understood that guardians were usually held by parents, grandparents or other elders.
Xiao Yao came out with two sets of clothes, turned his hand to close the closet, suppressed a smile and glanced at Bai Ju, and threw the clothes over: "That's just a legal interpretation, I guess you don't know what to do with those circling words." I don't understand much... change clothes and get ready to go out first."
As Xiao Yao said, he carried his clothes and walked to the locker room, explaining to Bai Ju through the door: "The Bureau of Demon Management hired you to go down the mountain, of course there must be some control measures, I am just in charge of supervising your stay in the human world." The behavior of the world, and education as appropriate, the responsibility is quite different from that of a guardian in the strict sense. However, in this case, it is difficult to express the relationship between mine and you, after all, we have to live together. It's hard to use a certain profession to define... the demon king and his guardian are almost the most appropriate expressions."
Although Xiao Yao had asked Bai Ju to call him father as a joke, he was teasing the old dog after all; now that Bai Ju had begun to doubt the meaning of "guardian", he still had to explain it seriously.
But Bai Ju still felt weak when he heard it.
At first, he thought that the guardian was a human being who needed to be supervised and protected by himself. While he had a sense of mission and responsibility, he also developed some attention and love for this human being; If a human being has to take care of himself, it feels like a big pie has fallen from the sky, and it contains the little toys he wants the most.
Later, when Bai Ju got along with Xiao Yao, he was very satisfied with this little guardian.
Good-looking, well-behaved, good at cooking, loves to act like a baby, and occasionally a little unpredictable, but it does not affect the old dog at all to make a proper judgment on this person; even if they have some generation gaps due to different ages (Mariana Trench ), but Baiju himself felt that after taking some courses, this thing is no longer a communication barrier at all.
Time has passed neither short nor long, and the good days are always particularly easy to adapt to; Bai Laogou accepted this human being from the bottom of his heart, put him in the protection circle, and regarded the "little guardian" as a very, very special, very, very special person. A title suitable for the apex of the heart...
At this moment, I suddenly told him that "guardian" is not a very special word, and it is far from his initial understanding. Bai Laogou resisted in his heart.
That's why he didn't sleep all night, staring at Xiao Yao's sleeping face from the strands of his hair to the tip of his eyelashes.
Such a well-behaved young man who is so painful, why can't he be his exclusive, very intimate person.
The old white dog put on a flowered shirt and big trousers sullenly and slowly, with a Samoyed pajamas specially bought by his little guardian hanging in his arms, and sighed.
So sad.
If that's the case, then what reason does he have to find to keep keeping young human beings in his den?
Baiju's soul wanders into the sky, and the whole dog looks sleepy;
Half of the pajamas were handed out, and he still held on to a sleeve and didn't let go.
"..." Xiao Yao shook his pajamas, "Brother Bai, the clothes are going to be torn."
Bai Ju looked at Xiao Yao weakly, curled his lips, and let go.
Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows, folded the clothes and put them on the bedside table, then turned around and pulled Bai Ju to sit on the fabric sofa in the bedroom, rubbing the dog's head: "Okay, Brother Bai... tell me first, what's wrong? Don't hold back any thoughts."
Bai Ju thought for a while, then pressed the little guardian's hand on top of his head and rubbed it twice.
"Hmm... Yaoyao," Bai Ju thought about his words and leaned closer to Xiao Yao, "Will you always be my guardian?"
Xiao Yao was a little surprised, and said truthfully: "It stands to reason that I won't be your guardian all the time. Let's put it this way, our bureau decided to let me be your guardian. In fact, we still don't trust you in various evaluation levels. This kind of The evaluation will last for a period of time, and we will also hold tripartite meetings from time to time, and when you get more than 80% of the votes in a meeting, you will be completely independent, and my guardian will step down."
Bai Laogou frowned when he heard the words, with a look of difficulty, he took a small breath: "Hiss..."
Facing Xiao Yao's suspicious gaze, Bai Ju stroked his chin and pondered.
This is not acceptable, and now they still have a guardian relationship to support them, so what if he passed the meeting in the future? His family, Yaoyao, was no longer his guardian, and the most special bond between them was gone.
Old Baigou is quite confident. Even without the bond of "guardian", he and Xiao Yao would not become strangers; but Old Baigou still desperately wants a status, an official official recognized by human society. The stamped relationship certification, as if he had the confidence to hold Xiao Yao and say, this is Yaoyao and my so-and-so.
"Yaoyao, when you return to the mainland, I'll take you to a place." The old dog Bai didn't have enough brains, after much deliberation, he came up with a safer way, "I'll take you to meet my father and mother , let’s recognize each other, even if it’s not a guardian, it’s still a family.”
Xiao Yao was speechless: "..."
This... is this meeting the parents? Wait, no, the old dog's parents are still alive? ? ? impossible!
Xiao Yao reached out and touched Baiju's forehead: "...No, I don't have a fever."
Bai Ju was inexplicable to Xiao Yao's reaction, stepped back a little bit, took off Xiao Yao's hand and kneaded it in his palm: "What's the matter? It doesn't work anymore in the human world... Wouldn’t it be okay to use incense to worship ancestors, or to draw people’s minds?”
How can I keep you by my side all the time?
Xiao Yao couldn't connect to Bai Ju's brain circuit for a while, but according to Bai Ju's words, his parents should be dead, and what they can see is only the remnants of Bai Ju's parents.
So Xiao Yao asked cautiously: "No...Brother Bai, your parents are no longer alive, and you suddenly took me to visit them Cannian, is it a bit disturbing? And if you have to recognize a relative, it seems that you don't need to go somewhere special , It’s the same to tell the tablet.”
In the era when gods and demons were rampant, after the life of the monster race ended, the corpses were often eaten and destroyed, and the better parts were often refined into weapons by other monsters or their descendants. Only monster souls can be rescued.
And the monster clan's ancestor worship and soul-searching are nothing more than summoning a remnant thought. This remnant thought is often left in the world by deceased monsters to protect future generations. It will gradually dissipate as the number of times it is summoned increases. It is considered a consumable. .
Xiao Yao is not ungrateful, no matter what the purpose of Bai Laogou, the idea of wanting him to meet his parents is full of sincere feelings; Xiao Yao felt that the opportunity was too wasteful.
However, Bai Ju didn't think so, and seeing that recognizing relatives is still useful in the human world, he shook his head and explained to Xiao Yao seriously: "It's different... the Yaozu Cannian protects the descendants, in fact, it can be regarded as a kind of protection by the way of heaven. Taoism, if we just recognize relatives by the tablet, this Taoism cannot come to you."
"Yaoyao," Bai Ju shook Xiao Yao's palm, lowered his eyes slightly, his deep pupils looked into Xiao Yao's eyes without blinking, "I don't know if there is any way to give us a stronger than the guardian relationship... I hope you can leave me a place in your life, not only limited by the status of 'guardian', but also not only the initiative and tacit understanding of your heart."
"I want to protect you, and I also want to share half of the protection I have with you."
Bai Ju was a little nervous, his palms were slightly wet, and his throat was a little dry: "Yaoyao... On the Huaxia Continent, there is a canyon between the glaciers in the northwest."
"My parents... when they left, I was by their side." Bai Ju swallowed, trying to find a simple way of expression, and went straight to the point, "Their flesh and blood have dissipated, but their bones have not been destroyed. I was buried in the canyon. My father said that if I found someone and wanted to give him shelter, then I could pick a canine tooth and make him a talisman."
"Yaoyao, you, are you willing to accept this canine tooth?"
Bai Ju looked at Xiao Yao steadily, feeling very uneasy.
Human beings have to pay a price for receiving the protection of the monster race, even if the monster race is voluntary, this kind of protection is very overbearing; if the sheltered human beings repent and try to refuse the protection, or intend to hurt the monster that gave the protection, then how heavy they have suffered What a crazy backlash they would receive.
This is a double-edged sword, based on love and trust will become a real treasure.
Although Xiao Yao is not a human in ancient times, these rules are recorded in the file, Bai Ju
Of course he understood what he meant.
Xiao Yao covered his face.
After trying to calm down for a while, Xiao Yao gave Bai Ju an answer: "Brother Bai, if it is your protection, I am willing to accept it."
"However, even if there is no shelter," Xiao Yao looked up into Bai Ju's eyes and said seriously, "I will always have your place by my side in my life... If you don't dislike it, I also hope that you can accompany me until the end of my life .”
Bai Ju was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up: "Yaoyao... Even if you are not a guardian, you will be mine in the future."
As soon as Xiao Yao's ears burned, he mustered up the courage to look at him, and his eyes began to flutter.
... This old dog's speaking skills have always been very bad.

Old Dog Bai: I will declare my confession first, and then I will circle people as my own. The little guardian cannot escape, and then I will think about why I confess...
