Chapter 36

Xie Lingxu had a hard time eating this meal. After finishing it, he quickly returned to the office without staying outside for even a moment.

There was even a feeling of embarrassment, of running away in panic.

Su Yin supported his chin, not quite understanding how a grown man could eat so little. Or was he a little weak?

She also kept observing what he liked to eat, and finally came to the conclusion that this man was like a rabbit and only ate green leaves.

Next time, I'll put the medicine in his vegetarian dishes.

hey-hey.

"Young Master, what makes you so happy?"

Gu Qian'an, who came to find her, excitedly surrounded Su Yin, just like the silly dog ​​wagging its tail next to him.

"Why is Baymax here?"

Su Yin grabbed the dog's head and rubbed it.

"Hey." Gu Qian'an leaned close to her ear and whispered mysteriously, "I took a bone left over from lunch and secretly coaxed the dog here while the people in Courtyard No. 1 weren't paying attention."

"Young Sect Master, you see, the people in Courtyard No. 1 value this dog. They'll definitely be very anxious when they find out the dog is missing. Then we can send the dog back. Then we can enter Courtyard No. 1 with good reason!"

Su Yin was surprised and looked at Gu Qian in disbelief.

When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes.

This silly kid can actually be so smart, he is worthy of being her right-hand man!

"Xiao Gu is so smart!" She would never blame him for his colander-like mouth again.

"Hehe." Gu Qian'an scratched his head embarrassedly, his face a little red.

This was the first time someone other than his family praised him for his intelligence.

At this moment, the gate of the hospital opened and Tian Xiao walked in. When she saw the large white mass, she was stunned for a moment. "So it's here. The doctors in the No. 1 hospital are going crazy looking for it."

"Shhh"

Su Yin put her hand on her lips, and together with Gu Qian'an, she pushed the stupid dog that was digging the hole into the house, and then closed the door.

She said seriously: "There is no dog."

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen any dogs either." Gu Qian'an nodded.

The timing was just right. As soon as the dog was locked up, Xiao Zhang from Yard No. 1 came up.

"Excuse me, Young Sect Master, have you ever met Dabai?"

Su Yin lied with his eyes open, "I haven't seen it."

Not only did she lie, she also teamed up with Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao to lie, "Have you seen Dabai?"

The two of them shook their heads in unison, "Never seen it before."

Xiao Zhang was naive and didn't suspect anything. He quickly took his leave and went to look for someone else.

The three people who succeeded in their evil plan smiled at each other and watched Xiao Zhang leave quietly. At first glance, they really looked like the followers of evil cults in the secular world.

Suyin locked the gate of the yard and happily prepared to go play with the dog.

Before she reached the door of the room, the door opened automatically, and the first thing that came into view was a huge white mass.

Looking further, there were two black trouser legs next to it, with a sharp contrast between white and black.

Su Yin took two seconds to react, and the smile froze on her face.

She slowly raised her head and saw Dabai, who was completely white... and Xie Lingxu, whose face was completely black.

……Oops.

Dabai seemed to like him very much. He buried his head in his legs and when he was gently kicked away, he would lie down on the ground and expose his belly to him.

It looked like the words "touch me" were just missing from his face.

Xie Lingxu tried his best to ignore the dog that kept rubbing against him. His eyes fell on Su Yin's face and he asked calmly, "Can you explain?"

Su Yin felt unsure and looked away guiltily, "It...it likes you..."

Xie Lingxu pressed his forehead. Is this what he was asking?

"Why is it in the house?"

"Of course...of course it came here because it wanted to play with us."

She winked at Gu Qian'an frantically, telling him not to tell Xie Lingxu about their plan.

Gu Qianan understood what he meant and covered his mouth with both hands, determined to never let the young sect leader down.

Tian Xiao came in late and didn't hear Gu Qian'an's confession, so she really thought that the dog came by itself.

She explained for the Young Master: "Dean, Dabai really ran in on his own."

Although it was their idea to hide it in the house so that Xiao Zhang wouldn't find it.

But the dean didn't ask this.

She was justified.

Xie Lingxu's gaze shifted from Gu Qian'an, who was covering his mouth, to Tian Xiao, who was serious, and then returned to Su Yin's face.

She put her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled. She didn't look like she was lying at all.

"Yeah."

There was no emotion in Xie Lingxu's voice.

The Samoyed was still trying hard to attract his attention.

Su Yin secretly lifted her eyelids, glanced at him once, twice, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you want to touch it?"

Xie Lingxu replied calmly: "I don't want to."

She couldn't understand how this man could be so cold-hearted as to reject such a cute dog. She pouted, walked over and sat down cross-legged, then pulled the big dog into her arms and rubbed it.

"How could anyone resist such a cute baby?"

The voice unconsciously became much softer, and the ending tone of the voice was raised in the throat.

Xie Lingxu suddenly felt his ears itchy.

The hundred-pound dog put its huge head on Suyin's shoulder, which was not as heavy as it, and rubbed it with its tongue.

Su Yin's heart softened, "You want to touch me again, don't you?"

As he spoke, he started to pull things out randomly.

Xie Lingxu lowered his head, as if he was confused, "Touch?"

The man and the dog simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at him, even the silly expressions on their faces were somewhat similar. "Yes, yes, it's turned its belly towards you, obviously wanting you to pet it. It's so adorable, how could you bear to refuse it?"

Dabai seemed to really understand human nature. He nodded as she spoke, and stretched out a claw to gently pull at Xie Lingxu's trouser leg.

Su Yin was afraid that the claws would damage his pants, so she held the dog's paw back in her arms.

Looking from above, it seems to be hooking his trouser legs.

Xie Lingxu raised his hand hesitantly, and in front of two pairs of sparkling eyes, he slowly placed his hand on... Su Yin's head and rubbed it gently.

It was quickly taken back as if nothing had happened.

The hand that moved seemed to hang calmly at its side, but its fingertips were twisting.

It's quite cute.

Su Yin was stunned on the spot. His strength was very light, his palm was very warm, and the touch was gentle, but it made people feel... a kind of palpitations with tingling scalp.

A strange atmosphere suddenly flowed through the room, like ripples suddenly appearing on the calm surface of water, light, silent, circle after circle.

"Wow!"

Gu Qian'an looked at the scene stupidly. Only a few days had passed, and the dean... was he so easily fooled?

He looked at Zhiyin, but found that she was smiling as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too freely. The corners of her mouth were wildly raised, and her eyes were extremely fanatical. It seemed as if she wanted to get on the bed and serve the young master and the dean right then and there.

Gu Qian'an moved a few steps to the side in fear, believing without a doubt that if he disturbed the two people inside, Zhiyin would tear his hands off.

Without being disturbed by outsiders, the two people at the door did not move for a while, and remained frozen in their previous state for a while.

The scene just now kept replaying in Su Yin's mind, and her expression suddenly changed, "No, you treat me like a dog, Xie Lingxu!"

Xie Lingxu raised the corners of his lips slightly, finally fulfilling the dog's wish to touch it. He bent down and rubbed its head a few times, but did not answer Su Yin's question.

Shrouded in shadow, a crisp air instantly invaded. Su Yin's waist softened uncontrollably, but she quickly straightened up again. She looked at him proudly and angrily.

Xie Lingxu did not make any other moves, as if he just wanted to touch the dog's head.

Su Yin's eyes unconsciously moved to the hand that was so close to her. She was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that the way he touched a dog and a person was almost the same.

He really treated her like a dog!

She gritted her teeth, stood up, and took three steps back while holding the 100-pound dog to escape from his clutches.

Xie Lingxu remained calm, washed his hands slowly, and returned to his office.

He seemed to be in a good mood and didn't pursue the matter further, allowing them to get away with it.

Gu Qianan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a beauty trap! The young master is so powerful!"

Su Yin's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She glanced at the closed office door, silently put the dog back on the ground, straightened her clothes, and acted inscrutable. "He, Xie Lingxu, isn't that difficult to deal with."

"As expected of the Young Sect Leader!" Gu Qian'an cheered again in a low voice.

Tian Xiao wore a mysterious smile and slowly changed the subject: "Young Master, what should we do next?"

Su Yin took Dabai back to the yard and closed the door, fearing that the person in the office would hear any more noise.

After doing all this, she revealed her true face and smiled evilly, "Of course I'll do a good thing and send Dabai back to Courtyard No. 1."

Even though she was sending him off, she still remembered the request from the person in Courtyard No. 1 and would do her best to prevent anyone in the courtyard from seeing her.

However, the plan still needs some help.

Su Yin's gaze fell on Gu Qian'an, who had an innocent look on his face.

Gu Qianan blinked and met her gaze in confusion, "What's the matter, Young Sect Master?"

Su Yin beckoned at him and said mysteriously, "I have a task for you."

Although this time it has nothing to do with her, Tian Xiao suddenly remembered the last mission...a terrifying memory.

She looked at her colleague who looked cheered up and silently wished him good luck.

Then I heard Su Yin say, "You have experience in holding Xiao Zhang back. This time, you will hold him back and buy us some time."

Compared to the task of delaying the dean, this time delaying Xiao Zhang is much easier.

Gu Qianan stood at attention, his head held high and his chest puffed out: "I swear I will not fail you!"

His voice was too loud, and Su Yin, who had been straightening his back and pretending to be deep, suddenly became intimidated. He looked back at the office furtively, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was still no movement.

The three of them sneaked out of Yard No. 3 like thieves and went their separate ways along a small path.

＊

Courtyard No. 1 was as quiet as ever, with the gates tightly closed, blocking out all outside views.

Su Yin handed the dog leash to Tian Xiao, found a secluded corner, and lay on the wall to observe silently.

There was no one in the yard and the house was quiet.

According to the information she had obtained, Xiao Zhang was the only one who could enter Yard No. 1 to take care of the patients. Now that Xiao Zhang was being held by Gu Qian'an, there must be only one patient in the yard.

She winked at Tian Xiao.

Tian Xiao understood and took Dabai's hand and knocked on the door loudly.

"Hello, is anyone there? I found a white-collared dog that was unattended and brought it back. Is anyone there? If so, I'll return the dog."

Worried that the people inside couldn't hear clearly, she raised her voice again: "Don't worry, I'll just wrap the dog leash around the door and leave. Remember to come out and take the dog away!"

In the yard, the tightly closed door opened a crack.

Seeing this, Su Yin winked at Tian Xiao again.

Tian Xiao was very understanding. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Leave the dog here."

There was no movement outside. After a few minutes, the door that was ajar opened completely and a woman walked out.

She looked to be in her early twenties, very thin, almost like a bamboo pole.

The breeze blew up the empty hem of the clothes, and the body underneath was so pale and thin that it looked like it would be blown down in the next second.

Su Yin observed very carefully. This person had two eyes, a nose and a mouth. From the appearance... he was no different from other people.

Judging from his behavior, the man was just playing with the dog normally and did not do anything strange.

Conclusion: He is a normal person no matter how you look at him.

She fell into deep thought.

The other side.

Tian Xiao, who had retired successfully, found Gu Qian'an who was blocking Xiao Zhang.

Gu Qian'an originally wanted to use the old method and snatch Xiao Zhang's cell phone, keys and work badge, but Xiao Zhang was prepared this time and held them tightly in his arms, not giving him any chance.

The two of them confronted each other like this, and it took quite some time. Until Tian Xiao came over, the people who were blocked didn't realize what the problem was.

She came from the road facing away from Xiao Zhang. There were many trees on the road and she walked quietly, so no one noticed her.

Gu Qian'an was sharp-eyed and noticed her immediately. He wanted to say hello to her, but was stopped by her gaze.

Tian Xiao glanced at the things in Xiao Zhang's arms, her eyes flashed, and she pretended to pass by casually and asked, "What happened?"

Gu Qianan: "I wanted to play with him, but he was wary of me like a thief."

The boy's handsome face had an innocent expression, and he looked like a child who couldn't find a playmate.

Xiao Zhang was stunned and almost got fooled by him. A sense of guilt rose in his heart, but then he remembered the marathon he ran a few days ago to get his work ID back. That little bit of emotion was quickly suppressed.

"I remember the dean said that accommodating the patient would help stabilize the condition."

Tian Xiao walked over to Xiao Zhang and said softly, "Just play with him for a while. I can help you carry the things. Don't worry."

The dean did say that.

Xiao Zhang hesitated, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them, and asked suspiciously, "You two...are you in the same group?"

"I'm from Courtyard No. 4," Tian Xiao said calmly with a gentle smile, "He's from Courtyard No. 5, so we're not in the same group."

He still felt something was wrong. "But I saw you two together in Courtyard No. 3 this morning."

"Can't we visit each other since we're so close?" Tian Xiao retorted with reason and evidence. "Don't you usually visit the dormitories of the medical staff next door?"

That makes sense.

Xiao Zhang was convinced by her.

His attention was so focused on whether the other party was in the same group that he didn't even react. He just had to put these things in his pocket and didn't need anyone's help to get them.

Tian Xiao took Xiao Zhang's things naturally. She winked at Gu Qian'an when Xiao Zhang turned his back.

Gu Qianan understood immediately. He stretched out his arm, hooked Xiao Zhang's arm around him, and walked to the side of the road. He said mysteriously, "Last time I told you that you were a good candidate for cultivating immortality. Now is the perfect opportunity. Come on, come on. I'll teach you how to cultivate immortality."

Xiao Zhang: “???”

He struggled a bit but failed to break free. No one knew where this young boy, who looked like he hadn't grown up yet, got the strength from.

He compromised and asked, accommodating the patient, "How do I cultivate immortality?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Gu Qian'an's face. "The first step in cultivating immortality is, of course, to join a sect."

"Are you still worried about not having spiritual roots? Are you still going bald because you can't find the secret manual for cultivation? Are you still heartbroken because of your Muggle-like physique? Today, you don't have to cancel your account and start over, you don't have to search hard, you don't have to work hard, just join my Xiaoyao Sect, and cultivating immortality and ascending to heaven is no longer a dream!"

Xiao Zhang: “…Ah?”

A cult has moved into a nursing home???

At the end, Gu Qianan smiled confidently, "Don't underestimate the bond between us Xiaoyao religious people!"

Xiao Zhang: “…”

"Please, may I ask who are the followers of the Xiaoyao Sect?"

Gu Qian'an waved his hand and said, "Not only is there our greatest young master, but also confidants like me and Zhiyin. I might as well tell you that even the one in Courtyard No. 2 is a member of my Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Then...does the dean know about this?"

He raised his head proudly, "Of course I know, the dean is our young master's man."

Xiao Zhang didn't understand why it sounded impressive, but it did sound quite impressive.

After Gu Qi finished pretending to be cool, he casually asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about the dean?"

"Oh," Xiao Zhang scratched his head, "because the dean just walked past you."

Gu Qian'an was startled and exchanged glances with Tian Xiao, "Oh, Dean..."

The next second, the two who reacted screamed at the same time: "Dean??!"
