Chapter 014: Daydreaming
"Anything else you want to buy?" Keos asked him.
Bai Su thought about it and shook his head.
His house is fully equipped with all living facilities, and there are several acres of land on the farm where fresh fruits and vegetables are grown for immediate use. Farm tools and seeds were also purchased in the big purchase a few days ago.
Bai Su is not an extravagant person and has always had low material desires. Although he has a lot of money in his hands now, he dare not spend it recklessly.
After all, he brought a brand new crop here, and if he wanted to open up sales, he had to consider every aspect carefully.
Things like hiring workers to plant, harvest, and load goods, paying for transportation costs for the fleet, and opening a grain and oil store are all big expenses, much more expensive than a white meal he eats in a restaurant.
If possible, Bai Su would like to break a dollar into two halves and spend it.
He told Koos, "I don't have anything to buy." Out of politeness, he asked, "Do you have anything to buy? I have no other plans today, so I can go shopping with you."
"Yes." Keos replied.
Bai Su couldn't help but feel a little curious, because usually when he had something to do, Keos would go to great lengths to accompany him and help him.
This was the first time that Keos took the initiative to make a request.
Bai Su happily agreed: "Okay!"
But when Keos took Bai Su to the children's clothing section of a clothing store, Bai Su felt that she couldn't like this gentle and considerate Centaur youth more.
What Keos meant by shopping was that he bought a few sets of children's clothes with his own money, and then handed them to Bai Su, saying that they were gifts for the two little tigers.
At that time, Bai Su was completely stunned.
From the moment he walked into the clothing store, he felt a little distracted - he saw with his own eyes the handsome young Centaur, like a young father or brother, skillfully selecting clothes for human children from the display rack.
When the shopkeeper asked him with a smile what age of child he bought it for, he answered without hesitation, "About seven or eight years old."
Keos chatted seriously with the proprietress for a while, discussing everything from the style of the clothes to the material of the fabric, and finally chose these sets of small clothes with cotton and linen as the main materials.
He even took out a notebook from his shirt pocket and carefully wrote down the shoe sizes suitable for children of this age group, as well as the address of the custom shoe shop that the proprietress strongly recommended.
Then he paid the money very naturally.
Bai Su was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what sexual charm was - tall, handsome, masculine, the kind of attraction that makes people want to have a baby with him right away.
He is so sexy!
He will definitely be a good father!
"Let's go." The centaur, who had just paid the bill, walked towards Bai Su with elegant steps, motioning him to follow him. "Time is running out. We still have to go to the custom shoe shop on West Street. I hope it's still open."
Bai Su finally came to his senses.
What on earth was I just imagining!
Realizing that his previous thoughts could be considered as sexual fantasies, Bai Su blushed with embarrassment.
Stop fantasizing! Bai Su, you are gay, not a pervert, so stop having those weird thoughts about your good friend Captain Keos!
"Huh? Why is your face so red?" The handsome young Centaur bent down slightly, touched Bai Su's forehead, and said, "You don't have a fever, you're probably just overheated. Let's go, I'll buy you a glass of juice on the way."
When he leaned over, his drooping collar revealed some of his full chest muscles, facing Bai Su's face.
Then the black-haired young man's neck even turned red.
"Are you really not having a fever?" Keos asked hesitantly.
"I didn't." Bai Su said weakly, "I really wasn't flirting..."
…
They arrived at the custom shoe shop recommended by the owner of the clothing store before closing time.
I accidentally discovered that the owner of the ready-made clothing store and the owner of the custom shoe store were a couple.
Bai Su, Keos: "..."
Okay, it’s a husband-and-wife shop, 6.
As an unqualified parent and brother, Bai Su didn't care at all that the two little tigers needed children's clothes - he always dressed his own clothes in the two children who occasionally turned into human forms.
Bai Su was used to being rough around the edges, and didn't think there was anything wrong with two children, aged seven or eight, or eight or nine, wearing only loose shirts and walking around the house with their bare butts.
Bai Su felt that men were unconventional, and he himself liked to sleep naked.
But as a qualified cat owner, Bai Su knew the exact shoe sizes of the two children - he sucked the pink, fleshy, thick paw pads of the two little tigers many times. Many times, the two little tigers were sucked to the point of helplessness and had to transform into humans to try to escape from Bai Su's crazy cat-sucking behavior.
Bai Su spread his palm in front of the shoe shop owner: "Yes sir, I am sure, it is exactly the length of my palm."
So they got two pairs of small leather shoes that were exactly the right size.
It was already dusk when the two men came out carrying a large bag of children's clothes and two shoe boxes.
The sun, which was about to set, still spared no effort to paint the surrounding clouds, making the entire sky a gorgeous pink.
"Thank you, Keos. If you hadn't reminded me, it would probably take a long time for me to suddenly realize one day that I had neglected my duty by not preparing clothes and shoes for the two children." Bai Su said sincerely.
This was the first time he raised children on his own. The two little tigers lived under someone else's roof and never dared to ask anything of him. Bai Su thought he was doing a good job by providing them with food and shelter.
But today in the clothing store, Keos's meticulous behavior when buying clothes made Bai Su finally realize that he was really not a qualified parent.
Keos just chuckled softly upon hearing this: "I can see this is your first time taking care of a child."
Bai Su actually wanted to retort that no, this was not his first time taking care of a child. He used to often take Bai Qiuqiu to work in the fields and help Bai Qiuqiu with homework.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
He still couldn't tell Keos about his true identity and origin without reservation.
In the past few days, Bai Su has witnessed the wonders of this world with his own eyes. He knows that here, gods, magic, fantasy creatures, and all these surreal things really exist.
Even though Keos is so righteous and upright, there is no guarantee that once the secret is leaked, it will pose a threat to his personal safety if known by others.
Bai Su didn't want to take any risks.
So, in Keos's eyes, Bai Su, who was originally happy, suddenly became gloomy.
Like the daylight that is fading fast.
Realizing it couldn't get any later, the Centaur Guard Captain, always quite safety-conscious, suggested, "I'll take you back."
Bai Su came to his senses and realized that his hesitation to speak just now seemed to have destroyed a certain harmonious atmosphere.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Bai Su invited Keos to be his guest:
"Okay, come to my house for dinner too!" He shook the brown paper bag in his hand and said with a smile, "Didn't you say this was a meeting gift for the two little tigers? Better today than tomorrow, let's meet today!"
The black-haired young man was full of energy when he smiled, like a glass of cold orange juice on a hot summer day, which the centaur couldn't refuse.
So having dinner together became the last item on the agenda for the day.
As the two were rushing home, they were lucky enough to catch a sale at the bakery before it closed, and Bai Su bought up all the remaining bread.
"They both love cheese bread with ham," Bai Su explained. "I plan to make sandwiches with the extra ones for lunch tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the official day for rice planting. Twenty short-term workers will come to the farm to work early in the morning as agreed. These breads can be provided to them as the free lunch included in their wages, and at the same time, it can also reduce Bai Su's burden of cooking for the big pot.
Keos nodded and gained a new understanding of Bai Su's economic strength.
As expected of a wealthy farmer born in a golden town, he actually fed his hired workers ready-made food from the bakery. Even with the discounts before closing time, these breads were by no means cheap in today's soaring prices.
But he did not interfere with Bai Su's behavior.
Bai Su also felt a little bit painful when paying, but fortunately it was still within his affordability.
Bai Su knew that it would be cheaper to cook by himself, but he also understood that time was more precious than anything else.
By saving time on cooking, he can focus more on rice planting and ensure that the planting is foolproof.
After all, the predicted food crisis that threatens the entire world is already at hand.
…
"Is my little cat here?" After opening the door, Bai Su immediately lit the kerosene lamp on the cabinet.
Two little tigers were squatting on the cashmere carpet in the entrance hall, and they responded obediently: "Meow--"
"Good boy." The young man praised generously, then stepped aside to make room at the door, revealing the person behind him. "Look, who's here to visit?"
Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the two little tigers looked at the nearly three-meter-tall Centaur at the door in surprise.
Eyes as big as bells!
This is! This is the captain of the Boeing Town Security Guard!
When Uncle Eli took them off the long-distance ship and smuggled them into the town, he told them to be careful not to be discovered by the town guards.
Especially a centaur with grey hair and light brown fur!
Isn’t this the one in front of you?
The two little tigers were so scared that they peed and shit themselves. After flapping their four little paws for a long time, they finally managed to move. At a very poor acceleration of 100 meters per hour, they jumped behind the curtains in the living room - their heads were hidden, but their two furry butts were still exposed.
Bai Su, Keos: "..."
Bai Su wiped his face, feeling a little embarrassed: "Come in first."
He invited Keos, who was carrying a lot of bags, to come in and rest first, then he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the curtain with a complicated expression.
"Meow, are you playing Tom and Jerry here?"
