Chapter 74: Did You Stuff Cotton in There?

Chapter 74: Did You Stuff Cotton Down There?

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Bai Yeye opened his eyes and was instantly captivated by the sight before him, his mind going blank. He snuck a tiny paw out and pressed down on it gently.

Shen Yu didn't react, seemingly still fast asleep.

Bai Yeye often wondered if he could really unify the galaxy, because he felt that even if he became an emperor, he’d be a tyrant obsessed with good looks. Just like right now—he didn’t want to get up, all he wanted was to cuddle.

It felt so good, hehe.

A mischievous grin spread across Bai Yeye’s adorable face. Since Shen Yu wasn’t awake yet, should he take a sneak peek?

Wait, between lovers, could it really be called sneaking? He was just going to look!

Bai Yeye snuck over like a little sneak and pulled the blanket aside, but when it came down to it, he lost his nerve. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he sighed.

Forget it, he was an honest little Yeye. He’d let him off for now.

“Awake?” Shen Yu had woken up at some point as well, his broad torso pressing against Bai Yeye’s furry body.

Bai Yeye felt his ears heat up—and other places too.

He wanted more than ever to become human! Even a mermaid would be fine!

There were so many things he couldn’t do in his dog form; otherwise, it would just be too weird, boohoo.

“If you’re awake, fine, but don’t be so tempting.” Bai Yeye forced himself to push him away, or else he’d lose control and pounce on Shen Yu.

“Don’t move your paw too much.” Shen Yu was still worried about his injury.

“It’s fine, I don’t feel a thing today.” Bai Yeye flexed his front paw. The divine doctor truly lived up to his reputation—it had only been three days, and he was already better.

Shen Yu wouldn’t let him move recklessly: “Wu Shao said it will heal, but it’s best to rest for half a month.”

Bai Yeye was a bad patient who didn’t follow doctor’s orders: “No need for that long. As long as it doesn’t hurt, it’s fine.”

Shen Yu cradled him: “You’re not allowed to move around anymore!”

“…But I need to use the bathroom. You can’t expect me to pee in bed, can you?”

“I’ll carry you there.” Shen Yu carried him to the bathroom.

“…Aren’t you going to wait outside?” Bai Yeye fidgeted nervously, looking at him.

Shen Yu turned around: “I won’t look.”

“Even if you don’t look, I’m still shy!!” They’d only been together for a few days; Bai Yeye couldn’t bear to have him watch him use the restroom.

Shen Yu had no choice but to walk out, turning back repeatedly as if they were parting forever: “Call me when you’re done. I’ll wait at the door.”

“Got it, got it.”

Once he was out, Bai Yeye quickly did his business. A mischievous thought popped into his cute round head: if Shen Yu was so open-minded, maybe he could get him to use the bathroom in front of him, so he could sneak a peek, hehe.

“Yeye, are you done?”

“Yeah, come in.”

Usually, Bai Yeye brushed his teeth in his mermaid form. But now, in front of Shen Yu, he couldn’t transform, so he had to sit on the floor and let Shen Yu brush for him.

The earlier thought still lingered in his mind. When Shen Yu told him to spit out the foam, he accidentally spit it onto Shen Yu’s pants.

Bai Yeye cursed himself for his disobedient body—of all places, why there!

But his brain praised him—good aim.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Shen Yu didn’t mind, rinsing his mouth with water: “It’s fine, I’ll just change my pants.”

Bai Yeye’s little ears twitched. Changing pants, huh? Nice, hehe.

He was just thinking about what excuse to use to stay if Shen Yu told him to leave, when Shen Yu casually changed his pants right in front of him.

Bai Yeye’s eyes went wide. That was way too direct.

A moment later, Bai Yeye’s fur bristled, and he started to sweat.

“I’ll take you to breakfast.” Shen Yu, oblivious to the shock he’d caused, reached out to pick him up.

Bai Yeye shuffled backward on his butt, trembling: “Wait, don’t touch me yet!”

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yu smiled at him.

Bai Yeye swallowed: “Tell me the truth—did you stuff cotton in there?”

“Stuff cotton where?” Shen Yu pretended not to understand.

“You, that! You know... that thing!” Bai Yeye wagged his tail anxiously.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow: “No.”

“I don’t buy it! You liar!” Bai Yeye tried to turn and run, but Shen Yu scooped him up.

“When the wedding night comes, you’ll know if it’s fake or not.” Shen Yu gently stroked his back, but the soothing gesture gave Bai Yeye the creeps.

He’d been dying to become human before, but now he didn’t dare think about it.

Otherwise, he feared he’d be stuck in bed for the rest of his life.

Seeing how flustered he was, Shen Yu found it both funny and exasperating. He had thought Bai Yeye was quite open-minded, but he actually scares pretty easily.

A timid little Yeye with big ideas but no nerve.

To calm him down, Shen Yu changed the subject: “What’s your take on Wu Xiu and Wu Shao?”

“Do you think they’re in cahoots?” Bai Yeye countered.

“Not in cahoots, but Wu Shao can’t bring himself to kill Wu Xiu. That’s a bad thing.”

Shen Yu knew a bit about the relationship between the martial brothers. Wu Shao wasn’t a ruthless person—otherwise, Wu Xiu would have died thirty years ago and wouldn’t be causing trouble now.

“That’s what I’m afraid of too.” Bai Yeye sighed.

He didn’t trust Wu Shao, but he trusted Bai Ruoshui. If Bai Ruoshui believed Wu Shao wouldn’t betray them, then Wu Shao definitely wouldn’t.

The problem now was that only Wu Shao could kill Wu Xiu and deal with this big threat, but Wu Shao might not be willing to do it.

Have you talked to the Stinky Old Man?

Not yet. A few days ago, Yuanzhou said something wrong, so Wu Shao is temporarily unwilling to return to the base. Shen Yu also couldn't bring himself to talk to Wu Shao about it, afraid that he might anger him again.

Bai Yeye thought for a moment. "Why don't I go talk to him and gauge his attitude?"

"It's better to let the Princess Consort test him."

If Bai Yeye went, there would be a high chance of angering Wu Shao.

Bai Ruoshui understood Wu Shao and knew his triggers. Most importantly, Wu Shao still cared about Bai Ruoshui and might help out of consideration for him.

"Then I'll mention it to Brother Ruoshui later."

Shen Yu patted Bai Yeye's head. "No rush, let's eat first."

After leaving the room, Shen Yu was stopped by Xie Shihua. "Grand General Shen, it's already nine in the morning. It's the first time I've seen you get up so late."

Shen Yu smiled. "Father, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Last time, after Xie Shihua quarreled with Bai Ningxin, Shen Cun dragged Xie Shihua to remarry and go on a honeymoon. Shen Yu thought they had gone somewhere else to travel.

Xie Shihua walked up to him. "I was afraid of disturbing General Shen's fun. Hello, I'm Shen Yu's father. You can call me Uncle Xie."

He still didn't know Bai Yeye's identity. Thinking of making a good impression on his daughter-in-law, his tone was very gentle.

Bai Yeye trembled in fear. Don't turn me into a Samsung folding screen, wuwu!
