“Xiao Xu, are you done? Call Bai Wu over to eat, we’ve important matters to attend to tonight!” Wang Meng screamed at the top of his lungs.
“Coming,” Xu Lan shouted from outside. “Take this, I’ll head over first. You should go back earlier too. I will try my best to be home tonight.” Xu Lan placed the handkerchief in Bai Wu’s hand and wanted to leave right after he finished talking, but Bai Wu caught hold of him.
“What again?” Xu Lan frowned when Wang Meng started yelling again, a gleam of annoyance flashed by his face.
“Does Papa’s words still count?” Bai Wu asked.
“What words?”
“That... Papa only... only...”
“It counts! How can it not count! You’re in my heart and in my eyes, there’s no place for anybody else. Be good, go home first,” Xu Lan comforted him hurriedly. Bai Wu let go of Xu Lan and he escaped immediately from the room.
‘Bullsh*t, you only have the case in your mind, do you even have a place in your heart for me?’ Bai Wu thought.
Bai Wu walked home alone, and coincidentally he met Xiao Xiao who pestered him for the photo.
He said, “We’re not together yet, what photo are you talking about.”
Xiao Xiao had the shock of her life, as Bai Wu did not look for her recently, so she thought that things were almost done.
“I’ll give you a photo of me then,” Bai Wu looked at his master and said.
“Wow, that’s even better! Can I get a full body shot and a close-up of your face? In return, I can give you a few more copies of the comic books. How about that?” Xiao Xiao grinned slyly at him.
“I don’t want the books, just take it quickly,” Bai Wu gave her a shallow smile in return.
A full body shot. Those long legs filled the whole photo, together with a short-sleeved shirt and short pants. It was the outfit of a sunny boy, but the sunset behind his back made him look more melancholic. His pale skin was glazed with a layer of light yellow sunset glow as if he was Apollo from Greek mythology.
A close-up headshot: undercut hairstyle and a shining forehead, along with his thick, dark eyebrows and a pair of eyes like peach blossoms. A pair of fire-glazed pupils were half-covered by his long lashes, accentuating the frosty face with a shade of sorrow.
“My G*d! Hey, apprentice! If I post this picture online, there’ll be tons of people licking their screens. But you seem to be down today? It’s okay, there’s nothing scary about failures. Failure is the mother of success. Just work harder, I believe that you can do it,” Xiao Xiao patted his back and comforted him.
‘If you’re wondering why not pat on his shoulder? It’s because Bai Wu’s too tall, can’t reach...’ Xiao Xiao thought.
“Uhm, I’m okay. I prepped onions just now, I’ll go out and catch a breath,” Bai Wu managed to crack a smile and said.
“Okay, I’ll go on then. I have a movie date with my boyfriend. Be happy!” Xiao Xiao’s mind was long gone, she could not notice anything peculiar going on with Bai Wu.
“Sure!” Bai Wu nodded his head.
Bai Wu finished his dinner and sat on the sofa to watch television after he finished cleaning the house. Luffy had landed on Cake Island. He laughed wholeheartedly when he saw the house collapsed and Big Mom rolled down like a twirling metal hoop. He toyed with his phone and swiped for it to fast-forward as he felt bored with the rest except for that part.
Bai Wu wanted to call Xu Lan so badly to could he come back. He missed him. However, he remembered that Xu Lan said only to call him if something happened, this should not count.
He felt bored and made some egg yolk pastry and saved it for later. When he looked at the time, it was past eleven thirty, so he cooked some dishes again for tomorrow morning.
