Li Yuheng slowly raised his hand and gave Shu Bai a thumbs up, his tone carrying a sense of having met his match.
"You're really good this time."
After saying that, he took Shu Bai off his lap and placed her steadily on the seat next to him.
But Li Yuheng stared at the chaotic center of the hall for only a few seconds before turning to look at Shu Bai.
“Sparse and white”.
"Um?"
"Please lend me your shoulder, thank you."
"...Li Yuheng, do you have to talk like that?"
Is Schrödinger polite?
Before Li Yuheng could answer, he tilted his head to the side and pressed it heavily against Shu Bai's shoulder.
Hehe, successful landing.
My bangs brushed against the sparse white side of my neck, making me feel a little itchy.
“I’m tired,” he said in a muffled voice. “Even leading men need to recharge.”
Shu Bai leaned against him without pushing him away.
The gaze passed over Li Yuheng's fluffy hair and landed in the center of the main hall.
The condition of the Third Prince Jinghong is getting worse and worse.
The black mist almost enveloped him like a cocoon, and all that could be heard from within were inhuman, guttural gasps.
The imperial physician and Zhao Wuwang stood by, like ants on a hot pan, completely helpless.
In fact, Shu Bai's words reminded Li Yuheng of his less-than-honorable memories of being a dog.
It's not a problem with pooping.
He was the prince of the underworld; even if he turned into a dog, he would be a divine dog with a self-sustaining digestive system, so he didn't need to excrete anything.
It was a sunny afternoon.
That day, he found a pile of poop in the grass, the perfect shape and color of which was the work of some scoundrel.
Li Yuheng had a flash of inspiration at that moment.
He remembered that Shu Bai was very clean and would lick its fur eight hundred times a day. If it stepped on this thing...
Just imagining Shu Bai getting all worked up and jumping around makes Li Yuheng laugh so hard he rolls around on the floor.
So he meticulously planned to use ghostly energy to push that treasure to the very center of Shu Bai's inevitable path, and even thoughtfully covered it with a few leaves as a disguise.
Then he hid behind the wall, peeking out with only half an eye showing.
Shu Bai indeed arrived.
Li Yuheng held his breath, his tail tip trembling with excitement.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Just as the white forepaws were about to touch the trap.
Li Yuheng didn't know what had gotten into him.
Perhaps it's because Shu Bai's soft belly looks so adorable when she's sunbathing.
Perhaps it was because his wide-eyed stare, still defiant after losing a fight, was somewhat amusing.
In short, just 0.01 seconds before Shu Bai was about to be hit, Li Yuheng rushed out like a cannonball and knocked Shu Bai far away.
If you feel guilty, you should strike first.
Li Yuheng then said, "Are you blind?! Watch where you're going!"
Shu Bai was knocked to the ground and rolled twice. She got up and grinned at him, "Are you crazy?! Why did you bump into me! Idiot!"
Looking at Shu Bai's clean paws, Li Yuheng felt a sense of relief, but he still complained, "I was testing your reaction speed, you rookie!"
Later, a big yellow dog passing by took the poop as a snack.
…
Thinking of this, Li Yuheng subconsciously touched his nose.
I didn't realize it then, but now that I think about it...
It seems that he has been a little different towards Shu Bai ever since then.
Although they still fight and steal food every day, he's always the first one to rush out when he sees Shu Bai in trouble.
Does that mean he was born gay?
"Tsk." Li Yuheng made a soft sound.
Shu Bai tilted her head: "What is it now?"
This bastard is behaving unusually badly today.
Li Yuheng stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and ruffled his hair hard: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized how amazing you are."
Shu Bai slapped his hand away: "...That's ridiculous."
Although I don't know what's wrong with Li Yuheng, what he said sounds alright.
Li Yuheng grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I'm praising you, you don't know what's good for you."
Sigh, if Shu Bai had actually stepped in poop back then, Shu Bai would definitely never talk to him again.
That was close!
Shu Bai was baffled by Li Yuheng's laughter and frowned: "You ungrateful bastard. Your eyes are weird, you know?"
Li Yuheng leaned closer: "What's so strange about it?"
Let the incident where you almost stepped in poop remain a secret forever.
As long as Li Yuheng doesn't say anything, no one will know how despicable he was back then.
Hey!
Shu Bai stared at Li Yuheng's eyes, which had suddenly become tender and gentle, and the hairs on the back of his head almost stood up in revolt.
He moved back half an inch without making a sound.
“Li Yuheng,” Shu Bai said warily, “if you look at me like that again, I’ll gouge your eyes out and stomp on them.”
"Okay, okay, I won't look."
As Li Yuheng spoke, he pressed his head back heavily onto Shu Bai's shoulder.
"Can I borrow your shoulder to watch the show?"
Shu Bai's body tilted slightly as he pressed her down: "Does watching a play require shoving your whole head in?"
"Doesn't this show that we have a good relationship?"
Then Li Yuheng started humming a tune, "Friends for life—those days are gone—"
Shu Bai: "…………"
Leaning on Shu Bai's shoulder, Li Yuheng hummed a tune while scanning the chaotic scene inside the hall and the seemingly flustered but actually well-behaved Xifeng and the others.
He narrowed his eyes, knowing exactly what was going on.
Old Hei may seem like a quiet, reserved guy, but he's actually quite capable when it comes to getting things done.
By incorporating the official appointment assessments of these five guys into his small world, it appears to be a business transaction on the surface, but in reality, it's a favor to him, giving him a chance to see if the people he recommended are truly capable.
But his true intention was not what he seemed to be.
Because of the Third Prince Jinghong and his messy affairs, which involve the struggle for imperial power and the practice of using evil magic to create ghosts, if not handled properly, it could lead to a palace coup and widespread suffering.
Cleaning up this mess would be a good deed if done well, but if not, it would be noted in the underworld's year-end report.
Old Hei threw this hot potato, along with five capable subordinates who were about to be promoted, at him under the guise of a promotion assessment. In reality, he was gently pushing the opportunity to solve the problem and the potential for merit into Li Yuheng's hands.
After all, under the nose of this Crown Prince of the Underworld, how many little devils could possibly cause trouble?
The favor was given, but...
The person he recommended didn't have to be the most shrewd, but had to be the most capable.
If Xifeng and the other four mess up this on-site assessment today, forget about getting them promoted; he'll be the first to kick them back to the bottom of the River of Oblivion for a second internship.
As he was lost in thought, Shu Bai beside him moved his shoulder.
"Just watch the show, don't drool on my clothes."
Li Yuheng immediately snapped out of his daze and smacked his lips: "Nonsense, when did I drool? Besides, please watch your words, okay? Someone like me secretes only the finest nectar."
"Ugh, that's even more disgusting."
"...Shubai, you're becoming less and less lovable."
"Thank you for the compliment."
