Chapter 6: The Photo Album

Translator: Ruriko

The album was full of Ruan Bai’s childhood photos, from a baby to a young child. According to the photos, the latest one had been taken when he was six.

There was a boy standing beside the little Ruan Bai in each photo. He carefully changed the baby Ruan Bai’s diaper; he cradled the baby in his arms and kissed the baby on the cheek; he gently pushed the little boy Ruan Bai on the swing.

In the last photo, two boys sat under the pergola. Ruan Bai was crying sadly, and the older boy put his arm around Ruan Bai’s shoulders and soothed him tenderly.

The older boy looked familiar. His facial features were very similar to She Yuan’s. Ruan Bai’s intuition was telling him that the boy was She Yuan.

But Ruan Bai had no memory of seeing She Yuan in his childhood. He had no idea how he had established such a close relationship with She Yuan long time ago.

Dave had crouched in the corner for a long while. Too shocked, Ruan Bai had no time to lecture him. Dave felt relieved and walked over to his master swaying his pinkish little hips.

Then, he rubbed his snout against Ruan Bai’s hand, and then licked the back of Ruan Bai’s hand with his tongue.

The touch of Dave’s elastic and moist artificial tongue drew Ruan Bai’s thoughts back. He craned his neck and cast a glance at She Yuan who was sitting on the sofa in the sitting-room. Then he quickly picked up the photo album and the fallen books, and put them all together on the bookshelf.

After that, he readjusted his clothes and walked out of the study with Dave and the document in his arms, pretending that nothing had happened.

She Yuan was sitting on the sofa with his head bowed and playing with his cell phone. His guarding beast, Doctor was lying prone on the floor at his feet with its eyes closed.

When Ruan Bai came to the sitting-room, Doctor immediately straightened up and stared at Dave in Ruan Bai’s arms with its long, narrow eyes. She Yuan raised his head unhurriedly.

Dave was on the verge of collapse. Every time he saw Doctor, he couldn’t help trembling all over with fear. His animal instinct was telling him that he should keep away from Doctor. So he lowered his head and buried his face in Ruan Bai’s arms.

At the sight of Dave acting like a coward, She Yuan raised his eyebrows and gave a snort of disapproval.

Ruan Bai mistakenly thought She Yuan was not satisfied with him, so he instantly explained, “I… I am not familiar with your flat. It took a long time for me to find the document. I’m sorry.”

She Yuan took the document from Ruan Bai with an expressionless face and said, “It doesn’t matter. No need to apologize.”
