My Boyfriend Is A Dragon-Chapter 219 - Earning A Living

Xu Lan stood hesitantly outside the door, unsure whether or not to enter. All of a sudden, the door was flung open by Bai Wu.

“You don’t plan on coming in?”

With reddened eyes and a hoarse voice, it was as if Bai Wu had been sitting in a corner and crying. Xu Lan was still standing at the door, but the aroma of freshly cooked rice was already greeting his nose. He craved it to the point of salvation. Indeed, it was a long time ago since he last tasted Bai Wu’s cooking.

“COME IN!”

Xu Lan nodded affirmatively and closed the door in excitement. He then trailed behind Bai Wu. Four dishes and a pot of soup were laid out on the table in order of Xu Lan’s preferences. Bai Wu went and scooped some rice for Xu Lan. Then, still clad in an apron, he sat opposite Xu Lan and prepared for criticism.

“I’ve never been truly living my life even though I’ve been alive for thirty years. I never thought that my Bai Wu could make such delicious meals!” Xu Lan uttered words of praise while wolfing down his food.

“If it’s delicious, eat some more.” Bai Wu did not know whether Xu Lan was simply currying favor, but at that moment, Bai Wu felt that Xu Lan was somewhat cute. Although cuteness did not really pair well with a big and robust man but compared to Bai Wu’s original form, Xu Lan was definitely much cuter.

“Hm, why aren’t you eating?” Xu Lan could not help but ask. It was only after putting the chopsticks down did Xu Lan realize something: Bai Wu had yet to touch a pair of chopsticks from the moment they came in.

“I haven’t washed my hands, and I’m not hungry…” Bai Wu replied with a frown.

“Damn! So, you’re avoiding me huh!” Xu Lan let out a pfft and laughed. He placed his chopsticks down and got up to wash his hands. He subsequently scooped a bowl of rice for Bai Wu before finally sitting back down.

“You can start eating now, right? We have a saying, ‘a couple of germs won’t do you any harm’.” The table was rather small, so Xu Lan straightened a few strands of Bai Wu’s stray hair.

Bai Wu stepped back abruptly and sat down. He covered his reddened face and stared at Xu Lan in shock.

“What’s wrong? Why is your face so red? You don’t feel well? I left you alone for a moment and you come up with some sneaky idea?” Xu Lan rushed across the table and walked over to Bai Wu. He placed his hand to Bai Wu’s forehead and said, “I don’t feel a fever either.”

Someone was perceptive indeed. That perception was incredibly top-notch, especially when invoking the wrath of the other person! During Xu Lan’s bewilderment, all he could see was Bai Wu’s hand coming over to grasp the back of his head. Bai Wu then pressed his forehead lightly against Xu Lan’s.

“Whose forehead is warmer now?” A breath of hot air blew against Xu Lan’s face, causing a blush to rise from his neck all the way to his ears.

“That, this, I, you…you, where did you get the money to buy all the ingredients,” Xu Lan stammered helplessly. Bai Wu chuckled, released him, and sat demurely back down again.

Once he was free from Bai Wu’s grip, Xu Lan was able to take a breath of fresh air. He then sat back embarrassed, on the opposite chair. “Yes, where did you get the money?”

“Didn’t I say I wanted to look after you?” Bai Wu handed over an ATM card and said, “Whatever money I earn will be saved in here. Take the card. The password is six zeroes.”

“You earned this? Bai Wu, I didn’t teach you to do bad things, did I?” Xu Lan wore a frown and asked suspiciously.

“No, I got the money from modeling.” It was his first time getting paid, allowing him to support Xu Lan. Bai Wu found it hard to control his emotions, and like the surging of the Qiantang River, those emotions came in waves.

“Model? Like this?” Xu Lan simply grabbed a magazine and pointed at the figures on the cover.

Bai Wu nodded.

“F*CK! Keeping you hidden was troublesome enough, yet you went out and showed your face in public! Seriously!” Xu Lan placed the chopsticks down with a clank. His words were infused with silent forbearance and a touch of sarcasm.

“I… I didn’t. I just wanted to honor my promise.” He thought that Xu Lan would be happy, but the man turned out to be angry instead. He neither knew what he did wrong nor did he have any clue as to why Xu Lan was so infuriated.

“Do you have any idea what models do? There are holes in the dimension and you’re acting as though nothing’s happened! Qin Lao’s watching your every step like a tiger. He’s prepared to capture you and conduct experiments on you, yet you’re in the mood to become a model?”

“I’m not scared! I’m not scared of them! They’re not important! I’m only scared of you, Papa, why can’t you think of me for once?”
