Bai Wu spent the rest of the day wondering what Xu Lan wanted to tell him.
“… Wu, Bai Wu! Aren’t you going to take a shower?” Xu Lan dried his hair as he watched Bai Wu playing with his fingers nervously.
“I… I’ll take a shower later. Papa, did I do something wrong today?” Bai Wu was startled by Xu Lan and stood up immediately.
“Hahaha! Am I that scary? You look like you’ve run into a ghost!” Xu Lan raised his brows and chuckled.
“No, Papa. I…” Bai Wu lowered his head, his eyes were red. As Xu Lan started seeing Bai Wu as an adult, Bai Wu was determined to stop being a crybaby in front of Xu Lan.
Bai Wu kept his head low and bit his nails. He was unsure when he picked up the bad habit, but whenever he was nervous or agitated, he tended to bit his fingers until they bled.
“Heck! I’ve no idea when did I become a dinosaur. Raise your head and look at me, will you?” Xu Lan slapped Bai Wu’s hand away and took a seat opposite of him. He fixed his gaze on Bai Wu.
“Papa…” Bai Wu’s sexy voice was trembling out of nervousness. It sounded light, as though a string was being plucked.
“Uhm…” Xu Lan replied, toppling the stool behind Bai Wu with a kick. He continued, “Since you refused to take a seat, you can stand for the rest of this conversation.”
Bai Wu stood before Xu Lan with an innocent face as he awaited his doom.
“Do you like Sheng Ya?” Xu Lan put his arm on the table and rested his chin on his arm before voicing his question.
‘Why did he bring this up all of a sudden? A few days ago the topic of marriage and Sheng Ya came up, could it be…’ Bai Wu’s heart sank at the thought. His face was pale and he did not know what to say.
“Hey, I’m talking to you,” Xu Lan prompted impatiently as he waited for Bai Wu to reply.
“I, I don’t know. Papa, do you think I should like Sheng Ya?” Bai Wu unintentionally transformed into his dragon form. He could no longer feel the painful prick by his sharp fingernail on his finger.
“… How would I know if you like her? Please, don’t be so tensed up, you did well today. I wanted to tell you something about myself,” Xu Lan sighed after looking at Bai Wu’s bloody hand. He pushed the stool toward Bai Wu and reached for the handkerchief in his pocket to wipe off the blood.
“I, I don’t know! Should I marry Sheng Ya? Papa, do you want me to be with her?” Bai Wu sobbed and his tears fell on Xu Lan’s hands. Xu Lan was holding Bai Wu’s dragon claws in his hands. Little did Xu Lan know that he also had a steady grip on Bai Wu’s heart. Bai Wu’s heart was as fragile as an egg. The slightest amount of pressure would shatter it into smithereens and cost Bai Wu his life!
“Uh, did you hear me saying that? Heck! Would you please stop crying? I can’t think properly when you’re bawling your eyes out. Do you like Sheng Ya or not? Here I was, thinking of competing with her fair and square! Say something!” Xu Lan’s hands were soaked with Bai Wu’s tears. He yelled at Bai Wu because he found it hard to focus when Bai Wu was crying.
‘Puff!’ Bai Wu was shrouded in white mist. He turned into a dragon out of nowhere!
“Papa! What did you say?” Bai Wu was spouting white mist. He was breathing heavily when he carefully voiced his question.
“I said I like you! Hurry up, transform—Ahh!” Xu Lan shouted in fear.
