Chapter 80: Are You Captivated by Me?

Chapter 80: Aren't you captivated by me?

Shen Yu was certain of his identity from that one sentence, but soon his conviction wavered.

Because Bai Yeye ate very little in his human form, not even finishing a bowl of rice.

"So full." Bai Yeye patted his flat stomach.

Bai Ruoshui was worried: "How come you ate so little? Not to your taste?"

"I eat like a bird, you know~"

Shen Yu: ...

Only Bai Yeye would say stuff like that, but if he really was Bai Yeye, how could he be full after just one bowl?

"General!" Gu Yuankai ran over to report on the day's business.

Shen Yu had to put this aside for now and took Gu Yuankai to the office.

Bai Ruoshui also brought Bai Yeye back to the pharmacy, checking the mask's fastening again.

"Brother Ruoshui, don't worry. Even if my head falls off, this mask won't." Bai Yeye patted his chest, promising.

Bai Ruoshui poked his head angrily: "Don't say things like that."

Bai Yeye docilely bowed his head: "Got it."

"Brother's got to get back to work. Gu Yuankai will arrange a new room for you later. Always remember what brother told you, okay?"

"Mm-hmm!"

After Bai Ruoshui left to research medicine, Bai Yeye strolled over to the door of Shen Yu's office, pacing around.

Back when he was a Samoyed, he couldn't smooch him; now that he's human, he still can't. Why's his life so unfair? Wuwu...

"Big, big beauty! What're you doing here?" Even though Bai Yeye wore a mask, Gu Yuankai recognized him at a glance.

Bai Yeye waved at him: "Hi~ From now on, we're teammates fighting side by side. Let's work well together."

Gu Yuankai even smiled a little shyly: "Nice to meet you."

Seeing the lovestruck look on the guy's face, Bai Yeye felt a cold sweat break out on the back of his neck. This silly kid didn't have a crush on him, did he? That wouldn't do—he'd find out the truth eventually.

"You..."

Before Gu Yuankai could finish, Bai Yeye interrupted: "Just call me Xiaobai. I'm married with two little ones."

Gu Yuankai's smile froze: "You're married?"

"Yeah, kids are already crawling around everywhere."

Poor Deputy General Gu's heart was shattered, wilted like a dead plant: "Congratulations... The general asked me to show you to your room."

Why are all the hot guys already taken? Couldn't he get one for himself? Wuwu.

"I still want to talk to Shen Yu about a few things. Just tell me the room number, and I'll head over later." Bai Yeye wasn't ready to leave yet.

Gu Yuankai left a heartbroken number and walked away covering his face.

Bai Yeye wiped the sweat from his forehead. He'd have to set Gu Yuankai up with someone later, or that guy's gonna get depressed for sure.

He turned around and found Shen Yu standing at the door, staring straight at him.

Bai Yeye wasn't scared at all; instead, he stepped right up: "If you want to see what I look like, I can take it off for you."

Shen Yu stepped back, putting a meter of distance between them: "Why'd you lie?"

"What lie?"

"You're clearly not married."

"Oh, that. Because I don't like him. It'd be awkward if he tried to chase me. But if you want to chase me, I might consider it." Bai Yeye teased him on purpose.

Shen Yu turned away, his voice cold: "I'm pretty sure I told you—I already have someone."

Bai Yeye mimicked him cheekily: "And I'm pretty sure I told you—I like married folks. Extra thrilling~"

If he wasn't so unsure about his identity, Shen Yu would have kicked him out.

He was afraid that if this really was Bai Yeye, he'd accidentally hurt his precious YeYe.

"You said you had something to talk about. What is it?"

Bai Yeye finally got down to business: "Should we make tomorrow the emperor's birthday... or his funeral?"

"Not for now."

Wu Shao refused to sell out Wu Xiu, and the emperor was their only lead to Wu Xiu. If he died now, everything would go haywire.

Bai Yeye shrugged: "Fine."

"If there's nothing else, go back to your room. I'll call you when I need you." Shen Yu treated him like ice.

Bai Yeye looked at his cold demeanor and thought, if you knew who I am, you'd already have dragged me into the office and had your way with me by now.

"Something else?" Seeing he wasn't leaving, Shen Yu asked.

Bai Yeye leaned against the doorframe, his tone flippant: "Need..."

With a bang, General Shen slammed the door shut, nearly pinching Bai Yeye's hand.

Bai Yeye gritted his teeth, unsure whether to be glad that Shen Yu wasn't swayed by looks, or worried about it.

I'll let you off this time! You'd better not regret it!

The next day, Shen Yu attended the emperor's birthday banquet in formal attire.

When Bai Yeye saw Shen Yu in his luxurious formal suit, he almost started drooling again.

On their wedding night, he'd make Shen Yu wear that outfit! That'd be so hot!

"General, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?" Gu Yuankai wanted to go with him. Although the palace wasn't far from the base, if something happened, it would still take time to get there.

"You stay and hold down the fort. Yuanzhou's got the troops—don't worry about me."

Today, Bai Yuanzhou and Bai Ruoshui would also attend the banquet, and Bai Yuanzhou'll definitely bring enough guys to keep Bai Ruoshui safe.

Bai Yeye leaned in close to Shen Yu: "Then I'll go with you."

"You're staying." Shen Yu didn't plan to take him.

Bai Yeye snorted: "If you don't bring me along, I'll ask Brother Ruoshui to bring me along."

Shen Yu stared at him for a while, and finally agreed.

"You can go, but you can't let others see your hair."

Bai Yeye's beautiful white hair was too conspicuous; Shen Yu was afraid the emperor would target him again.

Bai Yeye touched his hair: "But I didn't bring a wig. Otherwise, I could wrap it in my underwear? Ugh, but that's so weird."

Shen Yu took a deep breath and had Gu Yuankai get him a wig and a set of ordinary guard's clothes.

After changing, Bai Yeye preened in front of Shen Yu: "A good-looking person looks good in any clothes."

When others wear this outfit, they look like security guards. But when Bai Yeye wears it, even without seeing his face, it looks like haute couture.

Shen Yu looked at his perfect figure, and the more he looked, the more it reminded him of the photo Bai Yeye had given him that day.

"Are you swept off your feet?" Bai Yeye teased him again.

Shen Yu turned his head away, his tone icy: "Cut the slick talk, or get out of here."

Bai Yeye pouted, so mean. Yeah, try being this tough later.

"Fine, I get it, let's go!"

He walked ahead, and from behind him Shen Yu suddenly called out: "Yeye."

Bai Yeye turned his head: "Huh?"
