Chapter 62: All Love-Struck Fools

Chapter 62: Both Are Hopeless Romantics

With such a gentle tone, Bai Yeye almost transformed for him to see right then and there.

Luckily, he managed to stay calm at the critical moment. He wasn't afraid that Shen Yu would harm him after finding out, but he was afraid that Shen Yu would send him back overnight.

They had just gotten together, and he didn't want to be separated by distance so soon.

"My stabilizer hasn't worn off yet; I can't transform for a short while. Just give me a bit more time. Once this war is over, when you come to my place as a guest, I'll be able to show you."

Bai Yeye wanted to postpone it until after the war, so he could focus on their relationship without any worries.

Shen Yu patted his head, not forcing him. "Alright, I'll wait."

"Are you afraid I'm fat? Don't worry, I'm actually super handsome!" Bai Yeye lifted his confident little head—he was the handsomest YeYe!

"I'm so sleepy. Let's go to sleepy-bye. When it's dawn, Brother Ruoshui still has to take me back." Bai Yeye yawned.

Shen Yu's face turned cold. "Why do you still need to go back?"

"The queen of the Romanel planet has shown me kindness. It's rare to see him again, so I want to stay with him for a couple of days. Don't worry, he'll only stay for two days at most. Any longer, and his husband will be hanging himself in the palace."

When they were on the video call earlier, Long Shen was crying and begging Bai Ningxin to come back quickly.

Shen Yu's mouth twitched. "You're talking about Long Shen, the emperor of Romanel?"

"Yeah."

"I never would have guessed he was that type."

Shen Yu had met Long Shen a few times and always felt he carried the aura and bearing of a strong man, someone truly admirable.

"He's done plenty of pervy stuff." For example, to win his wife's favor, he tied a bunch of balloons to his frail youngest son and launched him into the sky. But because the youngest son was too "small," thousands of balloons couldn't lift him. The balloons kept tangling, nearly strangling the boy to death.

"You seem to know him pretty well?"

Bai Yeye swallowed nervously. "I hung out with him a while back. So sleepy, let's sleep, let's sleep."

He threw himself into Shen Yu's arms, expecting to be carried back to his room, but instead, Shen Yu set him down on his own bed.

Just as Bai Yeye was about to feel shy, Shen Yu turned around and walked out.

"?" That wasn't right—this was Shen Yu's room. Why was he leaving him here, then?

Before he could get up, Shen Yu came back with a pile of soft cushions, spreading them out on his hard bed.

The sweet, soft YeYe deserved a sweet, soft bed too.

To make Bai Yeye happy, he even swapped his black, tough-guy bedsheets for pastel-colored ones. Bai Yeye loved the cozy feeling and rolled around on the bed, almost fell off and put a dent in the floor.

Shen Yu hugged him. "I'll have someone change the bed tomorrow."

"In the morning, the handsome YeYe wakes up from a three-hundred-square-meter bed~" Bai Yeye recalled a novel he'd read.

He was just joking, but Shen Yu took it seriously. "Then I'll get a bigger office tomorrow."

"I was just joking! Let's sleep!" Bai Yeye was afraid he'd actually make it three hundred square meters—where would they even find a bed that big?

Shen Yu lay beside him, resting a hand on his chubby waist, letting out an unconscious laugh.

Bai Yeye felt a bit shy. "What are you laughing at! Are you calling me fat?"

"No, I'm just happy."

So this was what it felt like to fall asleep in the arms of someone you loved. No wonder his dad would make him and his siblings go to bed at nine every night—not a minute more.

Shen Yu's deep voice made Bai Yeye's ears turn pink again. Shyly, he buried his face in Shen Yu's clothes while doing something not-so-shy, like rubbing against his muscles through the fabric.

"Be good, go to sleep." Shen Yu didn't dare play along. If things got heated, he couldn't exactly do anything to Bai Yeye in his Samoyed form.

After getting his fill of touching, Bai Yeye obediently closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep in his lover's embrace.

Around six in the morning, the sun had already risen, and Bai Ruoshui also came knocking.

"Yeye, are you in there?"

He thought Bai Yeye was in his own room, but not finding him, he had no choice but to check Shen Yu's room.

Shen Yu covered Bai Yeye's ears. "Let him sleep a little longer."

Bai Yeye woke up groggily. "No, I have to go back first. Otherwise, if my dad... if they tell my dad I spent the night with you right after starting a relationship, he'll break my dog legs."

He almost let it slip, but luckily he came up with a quick excuse.

Bai Yeye gave Shen Yu a quick peck on the cheek. "I'm off, dear. I'll come find you tonight. Huh... this makes it sound like we're having a secret affair."

Can't see each other during the day, only at night.

Shen Yu was both amused and exasperated. Worried that Bai Yeye's family would think badly of him because of this, he had no choice but to let him go.

Bai Ruoshui carried Bai Yeye onto the spaceship and asked after takeoff, "Did anything happen?"

"In this form, what could possibly happen?"

Bai Ruoshui let out a sigh of relief. Good, nothing happened—otherwise he'd have a tough time explaining to the family.

"Honestly, didn't I tell you not to get too touchy-feely for now?" Bai Ruoshui scolded him gently while tucking a small blanket around him, worried the morning chill would make him cold.

Bai Yeye yawned and leaned against him to rest. "That's how young couples are. You and Brother Yuanzhou back before you were married, weren't you..."

Bai Ruoshui's face turned bright red. "Who told you that!"

He'd never talked about that at home.

"Big Brother and Dragon Dad told me. They found out and wanted to chop up Brother Yuanzhou, but Dad stopped them."

Good thing Bai Ningxin held them back, or Bai Yuanzhou would have been torn apart by the two dragons that very day.

Bai Ruoshui was too embarrassed to say a word and couldn't bring himself to scold Bai Yeye further.

He sent Bai Yeye back to his hotel room but ran into Bai Ningxin before entering.

"Father..." Bai Ruoshui greeted nervously.

Bai Ningxin let out a cold smile. "I knew it. Useless wretch—couldn't even wait one night?"

Bai Yeye pretended to be asleep, hiding in Bai Ruoshui's arms.

His little tricks couldn't fool Bai Ningxin, who grabbed his ear and said, "Open your eyes, I have something to tell you."

Bai Yeye perked up one ear but kept his eyes closed, firmly refusing to let Bai Ningxin know he was awake.

"I'm leaving now, but I'll be back anytime. Take care of yourselves. If I find you injured, I won't give you another chance to stay!"

Long Rui had no reason to worry, but worry he did—one was too gentle, the other too frail.

Bai Ruoshui was reluctant to see him go: "Leaving so early? Did something happen in Romanel?"

"Yeah, if I don't go back soon, some people will be climbing the walls. A bunch of good-for-nothings, can't even wait two days!" Bai Ningxin's words scolded both Bai Yeye and Long Shen together—father and son were the same, both love-sick fools.
