My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

After Xu Lan left, Bai Wu dared not fall asleep. When he closed his eyes, his ears would be filled with the sinister laugh that disseminated from the black hole.

When Xu Lan was sent back home, Bai Wu instinctively ran toward the door. However, he stood obediently behind the door and remained motionless when he thought of Xu Lan’s warning.

“Thank you, Sun Fei. You may leave, I’ll entrust the station’s operation to you today.” Xu Lan leaned against the door without putting much pressure on it, as he prepared for the door to open from the inside at any moment.

“Rest well, don’t worry about it. I’ll be able to handle them.” Sun Fei comforted him.

“Thank you.” Xu Lan only opened the door to enter after he saw Sun Fei walked down the stairs and left the courtyard.

“Papa, why are you back so early today?” Bai Wu gave him a bear hug right after he entered.

At the moment, Bai Wu was all grown up. He was about twenty-one or two years of age, where he was half a head taller than Xu Lan.

“Papa, what happened? Did you fall into the water?” Bai Wu asked with doubt when he hugged Xu Lan, who was soaked wet in his own sweat.

“No, I’ll go take a shower.” Xu Lan reached out subconsciously to touch the back of his head but he was not able to reach it. He then walked into the bathroom in a daze.

Bai Wu diligently prepared his clothes and waited outside after setting up the bath.

After Xu Lan walked out, he saw that Bai Wu sat on the sofa watching television. He had to allow him to watch television since he could not follow him to the police station.

On the screen was the news broadcasting about the appearance of the dragon yesterday. Bai Wu was cracking up while watching.

“Papa, you’re done washing? Haha, look at the photos of us, Papa. Is it pretty?” Bai Wu asked as he rolled on the sofa where he almost teared up from laughing. He fell off the sofa with a single turn. Did he still think of himself as a kid?

“Hmm, pretty.” Xu Lan walked toward Bai Wu and sat beside him. The news was then reporting about the recent progress of the case.

“Papa, why do you like to hang out with Li Xiu?” Bai Wu asked out of the blue.

Xu Lan’s body shuddered but he forced himself to focus on the television.

“I don’t like Li Xiu, not even a little bit. Did he threaten Papa? I don’t know what kind of plans that conniving thing is scheming.” Bai Wu passed Xu Lan the melon seeds that he spent the whole morning dehusking and signaled him to try it.

“You, why do you think so?” Xu Lan’s muscles stiffened and made cracking sounds when he turned his head toward Bai Wu with a surprised look.

“Hmm, it’s a wild guess. I should’ve punched him to death yesterday, those young ladies were so pitiful.” Bai Wu took back the melon seeds after seeing that Xu Lan had no intention of eating them.

“What did you say?” Xu Lan was getting more confused after hearing Bai Wu’s explanation. It was very vague but Bai Wu seemed to know something about it.

“That guy knew that I’m a dragon. He even threatened me, saying that Papa will definitely hate me after seeing my true form. He even told me that everyone will hate me!” Bai Wu poured his grievances.

“You said that he knew you were a dragon?” Xu Lan started to break out in cold sweat again while he asked shakily.

“Yeah. How can I not despise such a person? He always had a sanguineous smell on him, it disgusts me just thinking about him.” It was such a rare occasion to have a heartfelt talk between father and son. Bai Wu then lay down and leaned on Xu Lan.

Xu Lan kept quiet. If Li Xiu already knew that Bai Wu was a dragon, wh… why did he make such a request this morning? What was he trying to do?

“Papa, don’t like this person, he’s too dangerous!” Bai Wu burrowed himself into Xu Lan’s arms and said with his lips pursed.

“Wh… why would I like him!” Xu Lan almost jumped up.

“It’s best that Papa doesn’t like him. If he dares to do anything, Papa you must tell me. I’ll go and beat him up!” Bai Wu gave a ‘humph’ and said proudly, “Papa only likes me, hehe.”

“Bai Wu, Papa’s tired. I want to sleep for a while,” Xu Lan said weakly while his eyes met the pair of red eyes.

“Hmm, okay.” Bai Wu followed Xu Lan to the bedroom and watched him dozed off.

“Aren’t you watching the television? I can’t sleep with you staring me like that,” Xu Lan said amusingly when he saw Bai Wu placed a stool beside the bed to watch him.

“Television is not as nice as Papa, I want to look at Papa,” Bai Wu said smilingly, leaving his canine teeth slightly exposed.

Xu Lan thought he would not be able to sleep but once he lay down on the bed, his eyes were closed shut and he slept until the next morning.

“Huh… Papa, you’re awake?” Bai Wu was awakened by Xu Lan’s movements and asked hazily.

“You slept while crouching like this? Hurry and get up or you’ll catch a cold.”

Xu Lan thought of buying a bed last night. Bai Wu had grown so much. It would be very congested for two fully grown men to sleep together. Xu Lan looked at his watch – 5 a.m. – he slept for such a long time!

“No, my body is stron… achoo!” It was a glorious slap in the face before Bai Wu could even finish his sentence.

“Can’t you sleep on the bed! Why must you catch a cold!” Xu Lan stared at Bai Wu before urging him to get onto the bed.

“I’m afraid that I might wake Papa, you looked very tired.” Bai Wu laughed at Xu Lan like an idiot.

“Silly!” Xu Lan’s eyes turned red. He then walked into the bathroom hastily to wash his face.

Bai Wu followed Xu Lan and jumped right in front of him. “Where’s Papa going so early in the morning?”

“I’ll make breakfast, go and nap for a while,” Xu Lan said while he wiped his face with a towel.

“I don’t want to sleep. I want to make breakfast with Papa.” Bai Wu was unwilling to go back to bed even though he was yawning when he spoke.

“What? What happened?” Xu Lan asked keenly.

“… The dimension is getting more and more unstable after I transformed completely, I…” Bai Wu scrunched the corner of his shirt and said in distraught.

The ruthless void had always tried to probe along the edge of death by extending its claws, trying to take Bai Wu away.

“Okay, you can help me with it,” said Xu Lan.

“Yes!” Bai Wu followed Xu Lan happily and walked into the kitchen for the first time…
