Chapter 22: Gorgeous Young Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Xu Lan was done bathing, he got caught up in a tricky situation. There were no clothes in this room for the little guy to wear. The man had no choice but to put on a T-s.h.i.+rt over the child. It was so big that it was dragging on the floor similar to those Chinese Opera costumes.

“Let’s go and buy a few items of clothing afterward,” Xu Lan said while he dried the child’s hair.

“Fine,” the little guy answered in a m.u.f.fled tone as soft as the noises made by flying insects. Since Bai Wu exited the restaurant, he kept his head down and his face was bright red.

“Why? Are you not feeling well?” Xu Lan, who was drying the child’s hair with the towel in his hand, separated his hair and moved closer to press their foreheads together.

Bai Wu’s face became a shade redder immediately, and the temperature of his face went up by a few degrees.

“It’s little warm? You are too weak,” Xu Lan said worriedly, but in a dismissive matter. It had been a year or two since he had caught a cold.

“Papa, can you leave for a moment?” Bai Wu’s soft voice suddenly became husky, vaguely revealing a sense of urgency.

“Haha, do you want to pee? There’s nothing to be…”Xu Lan said jokingly.

Then, his gaze was suddenly fixated on the bulge of the T-s.h.i.+rt behind Bai Wu’s bottom and he forgotten what he intended to say.

A long silver tail emerged underneath the white T-s.h.i.+rt and gleamed into Xu Lan’s sight.

This tail was much larger and longer than the previous one. Its silver s.h.i.+ne was also purer. The previous tail was still greyish white. This time, it was glistening with a silverish metallic l.u.s.ter.

“You, why did you transform?” Xu Lan asked surprisedly. He was delighted but bewildered at the same time.

“I… I don’t know either. It was not my intention to transform this time.”

Bai Wu was unwilling to actively transform in front of the man because he was afraid that Xu Lan would loathe him. However, it was very odd this time because he had transformed uncontrollably. He could feel there were some subtle changes happening indistinctly.

“Let’s head out first.” Xu Lan dried his hair hastily and carried him. “Humph!”

The man gave a silent ‘humph’. This extra tail weighed almost the same as this child. He was not mentally prepared and almost fell over. Furthermore, the child was getting heavier and heavier as he walked from the bathroom to the bedroom.

Xu Lan collapsed on the bed and gasped for air. It was as if he had carried a chunk of cast iron. It felt as heavy as when Sun Wukong had to carry the Great King of Golden Horn on his back.

“Are you okay, Papa?”

Bai Wu crawled towards Xu Lan and asked. He wanted Xu Lan to see that he had already hidden the tail under his clothes.

“Yes —” Xu Lan answered in a stifled tone. He needed more exercise.

“Papa, please open your eyes and look at me.”

Bai Wu was so anxious that he almost cried. He kneeled beside Xu Lan tearfully. On one hand, he was afraid that Xu Lan would see this ugly side of him. On the other hand, he hoped that Xu Lan would like his appearance and accept him.

After all, this was his real body.

“Huh?” From the little guy’s voice, it seemed that he was going to cry again. He could not fathom how he could be weepier than girls?

Xu Lan squinted his eyes and turned over. He grabbed the child into his arms with his large hands. Then, he pushed Bai Wu away, sat up abruptly, and stared at the person on the bed. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes, before releasing his breath slowly while he opened his eyes.

Bai Wu was shocked by the man’s reaction. He dare not breathe and remained motionless.

The first thing that came into sight was the silverish white tail. The T-s.h.i.+rt was scrunched to his waist, covering nothing. Then, concealed between the T-s.h.i.+rt and the shadows of his thighs was a pink thing, followed by the waist and pale collarbones.

Finally, Xu Lan’s gaze fell upon that brilliant face of his.

This was not the cute, chubby little face from Xu Lan’s memory that he was all so familiar with. It was the face of an eleven to twelve-year-old Young Pioneer which consist of three parts of naivety and seven parts of childishness. It had delicate features with a translucent and fair skin tone.

He had silverish hair, curved eyebrows, and a straight nose. Under the left side of his face was an unnoticeable mole and a pair of cinnabar-red eyes gazing fondly at Xu Lan.

The only thing Xu Lan had that could match with Bai Wu, was his pair of crimson-red, golden eyes.
