After Song Xing saved Fan Haiyi, those delinquents started targeting Song Xing as a thorn in their side. Several times over, they would stop Song Xing on his way to work.
Previously, Baili Wuchang taught a group of hooligans at school a lesson. One of them was a student with the last name Cao. He hated Song Xing the most, and no matter if it was on or off campus, he would always find an opportunity to give Song Xing a hard time.
Classmate Cao’s family background was also not bad. Song Xing had tried a few times to report him to his homeroom teacher, but his homeroom teacher didn’t believe Classmate Cao was that kind of student.
Baili Wuchang looked over the files and felt like he had a headache. He didn’t like meddling in human affairs. The ones involving teenagers made him especially nauseous.
Wen Nuan read through them as well and sighed. “Poor Song Xing.”
Song Xing’s life was already difficult, and because of this, Song Xing was close to facing death’s door, which made Wen Nuan’s heart unsettled.
“The report is just as such,” said Bai Wuchang. “How about both bosses turn in early for tonight? Tomorrow, we’ll continue investigating at school. What do the bosses think?”
Though he said to turn in early, it was almost daybreak.
As a three year old, Wen Nuan’s body was weak. He was already close to dozing off, his body askew as he almost toppled over.
“We’ll rest first.” Bailli Wuchang stood up and carried Wen Nuan out the door.
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang was unwilling to let them go and also stood up. Heibai Wuchang quickly placated him, saying “Boss, how about we rest? It’s almost daybreak.”
Wen Nuan was muddleheaded as he leaned against Baili Wuchang to rest. He didn’t expect being held to be so comfortable.
After they entered their room, Wen Nuan smelled something wonderful as his eyes were closed.
“Gulp—”
Wen Nuan swallowed his saliva and mumbled, “Roasted lamb chops…sweet and sour pork…spicy pepper chicken…”
Baili Wuchang smiled as he held him. “Your nose is quite sharp.”
Wen Nuan was woken by hunger after the smells. His eyes flew open. He almost forgot that Baili Wuchang had even gone to buy him dinner earlier.
The sumptuous midnight snack sat on the table and filled the room with its aroma, tempting Wen Nuan to take a bite.
Wen Nuan wasn’t sleepy anymore. He said impatiently, “I wanna eat meat!”
Baili Wuchang specifically picked dishes Wen Nuan liked, and they were all meat with some sweet, spicy, and salty flavors that were all different to make a full course meal.
Wen Nuan sat at the table and started to wolf down his food. His little mouth was soon glistening with grease, and his cheeks were fully rounded like a baby’s. He chewed and chewed, looking especially cute.
Baili Wuchang didn’t need to eat, so he sat across from Wen Nuan, propping one side of his face up with his hand. He smiled as he watched Wen Nuan eat in satisfaction.
“Dewicious—”
“Wah, meat…”
“Baini Wuzang, you shouwd eat, too!”
Wen Nuan’s heart was content as he ate, and because his mouth was stuffed, his childish voice sounded even more childish.
“Cough cough—” Baili Wuchang felt like he heard something funny, and he coughed.
Wen Nuan blinked at him. He held out a piece of sweet and sour pork. “Wanna eat?”
Baili Wuchang leaned forward, lowering his head to eat the food Wen Nuan offered to feed him.
When he lowered his head, his long black hair slid down from behind his ear, getting in the way.
Wen Nuan was afraid Baili Wuchang’s satin tresses would get coated in the sticky sauce of the sweet and sour ribs, which would be a waste. He lifted his other hand and helped him gently place it back on his shoulder.
Wah, Wen Nuan sighed soundlessly. Baili Wuchang’s hair is so silky smooth. It feels so nice!
After Wen Nuan ate his super satisfying meal, he leaned back on the sofa, feeling more satisfied than ever before.
Baili Wuchang cleaned up the leftovers and said, “Go wash up and head to bed. I brought you some new clothes.”
When Wen Nuan heard this, he was instantly moved. He really wronged the guest from Room 404 before. Baili Wuchang was clearly the epitome of a kind-hearted person. Not only did he buy delicious food, he also bought clothes. Gentle and considerate, that was Baili Wuchang!
The clothes Wen Nuan were wearing right now were very old, bought by his aunt. They were a little too small and not very comfortable around the shoulders. After running around, they had become dusty. He’d wanted to change for a while now.
Baili Wuchang said, “Put your clothes in the bathroom and run some warm water in the tub.”
Wen Nuan nodded with a “Mm, mm”. There’s no doubt, Baili Wuchang is a really good person.
He walked into the bathroom, closed the door, quickly took off his dusty clothes, and threw them into the sink.

His clothes were really dirty, but based on the principles of diligence and frugality, he could still wear them after washing them. Wen Nuan didn’t know how long he would be here. It was good to have a spare change of clothes. He couldn’t always let Baili Wuchang buy him new clothes, right?

“Wait… am I blind?”
With a “splash”, Wen Nuan quickly sat up from the bathtub. He kept rubbing his eyes with his two stubby hands. The thing on the hanger, isn’t it…
“A dress?!”
There was indeed a dress hanging on the clothes hanger.
It was a child’s dress in pastel tulle, like one a princess would wear.
Wen Nuan stared at the dress blankly. All the words he had praised Baili Wuchang with were completely shattered in an instant. They all turned into bubbles of nothingness.
Wen Nuan felt like he was going to cry. He immediately regretted hand-washing his dirty clothes. They were too wet to wear them right now. Did he really have to wear a dress?
“No, I have principles. Even if you kill me, I won’t wear it,” Wen Nuan said firmly with a serious face.
In the end, Wen Nuan came out of the bathroom bundled in a bath towel. He didn’t put on that pastel dress after all.
Fortunately, since Wen Nuan was small, the large bath towel was enough to cover him from head to toe, so he wasn’t naked.
Baili Wuchang was sitting on the sofa facing the bathroom. When he saw Wen Nuan come out wrapped in a bath towel like a big rice dumpling, there was disappointment written across his face.
Baili Wuchang shamelessly asked, “Did you not like the clothes I gave you?”
Wen Nuan said through gritted teeth, “How could I like them? I’m a boy. I’m not going to wear a dress.”
Baili Wuchang, you scoundrel. How dare you buy me a dress.
Baili Wuchang’s indifferent face had some sort of vague surprise. “Dress? Oh, when I went to buy clothes, I told the shop owner I was buying clothes for a three or four year old. I forgot to tell the owner it wasn’t a girl. But you can make do with it. It should be the right size.”
Wen Nuan was dead set on not making do with the dress. He firmly wrapped himself in the bath towel and crawled into bed, closing his eyes. “I’m sleeping now.”
Baili Wuchang walked into the bathroom to see the little dress still hung up. He shook his head, taking the little dress to hang in front of Wen Nuan’s bed. He hoped that when Wen Nuan opened his eyes tomorrow, he would see the little dress first thing in the morning and maybe change his mind.
“I’m going to shower. You rest first,” said Baili Wuchang.
Wen Nuan listened to Baili Wuchang go into the bathroom. He opened his eyes and nimbly flipped over, raising his head to knock the little dress off his bedside. He had principles. He wasn’t going to wear a dress tomorrow.
He didn’t expect that among Baili Wuchang’s qualities of being violent, irritable, sharp-tongued, mensao, and so on, that he would also have a strange hobby.
Wen Nuan sat on the bed in his bath towel. He glanced at a glass of water sitting on the table in front of the window. He was a little thirsty, but it was too far. It would be inconvenient to move in a bath towel.
“Forget it. I won’t drink.” Wen Nuan struggled for a while and prepared to lie down and sleep.
Just then, the curtains were slightly raised by the night wind. The window was not completely closed.
It was dark outside, and there should have been nothing there, but right after Wen Nuan raised the curtains, he was met with a pair of green eyes.
“Huh—!”
Wen Nuan gasped in fright, because he was unprepared to see anything other than a big black sky, which was really a bit scary.
This wasn’t a hotel room on the first or second floor. Why were there a pair of green eyes outside the window?
The green eyes and Wen Nuan stared at each other, and then they immediately flashed and disappeared.
Wen Nuan instantly jumped out of bed, opened the curtains, and looked outside.
It was pitch dark outside, and there seemed to be nothing except the faint road in the distance.
In the dark night, there was a figure vaguely slinking away quickly…
Wen Nuan took a closer look and said curiously, “It’s a cat.”
“What’s wrong?”
Because there was a lot of movement outside, the bathroom door opened, and Baili Wuchang came out to check the situation.
“Hoh—!!!”
Wen Nuan gasped again, thousands and tens of thousands of times more frightened than the scare he received just now.
He saw Baili Wuchang wearing a bath towel just like him. He didn’t have time to dry himself or put on clothes.
A bath towel too large for Wen Nuan was too small for Baili Wuchang. It just barely covered the necessary bits.
His chest muscles, abs, and long legs were all exposed. Crystalline water drops fell from the tips of Baili Wuchang’s wet hair, rolling over his angular jaw, sliding down his slender neck, pausing for a moment on his delicate collar bone before continuing its journey downwards.
“Ba-dump—”
Wen Nuan traced the water droplets rolling down, down, down.
Swallowing hard, Wen Nuan felt his cheeks turn red and hot. He spoke quickly with a dry laugh, “Why—Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”
Baili Wuchang said matter-of-factly, “Neither are you.”
Wen Nuan: “…”
“Knock knock knock!”
“Knock knock!”
Someone was pounding urgently on the door. Hearing the knocks, Wen Nuan thought they sounded familiar.
In the next second, “Bam!”
A sky-shaking earthquake.
Wen Nuan looked up in shock. The door had been kicked down. Because the Hell Chain Hotel had not been renovated yet, the door wasn’t that strong, and it shattered into pieces.
This level of violence was absolutely the work of Baili Wuchang.
Wen Nuan slowly raised his gaze, and sure enough, there stood the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang at the entrance.
“What happened?” asked the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang, who broke in.
Wen Nuan stared at the remains of the door on the ground with a look of regret. “No, I should be the one asking that. What happened? Why did you break in?”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang said calmly, “I heard you yell, so I was afraid you were in danger, but…it seems you’re fine, so I’m relieved.”
As he spoke, Baili Wuchang sneered, “How could there be any danger if Wen Nuan is with me? Your fears are groundless.”
Not to be outdone, the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang looked at him with contempt. “Are you running around naked? Are you a pervert?”
Wen Nuan: “…”
The guest from Room 404 had a venomous tongue. He was never soft-spoken, and towards himself, he was especially sharp.
Because of a cat, Wen Nuan was startled, triggering a series of events. First, there was the unexpected death of the door, and then there was an unexpected quarrel. The two Baili Wuchangs finally had a reason to go out and fight.
Wen Nuan sighed helplessly. He changed rooms, laying on the bed as he covered himself with the quilt. “I’d better sleep. They probably won’t cause too much trouble fighting.”
And they won’t listen to me if I tell them not to hit the face, either.
Wen Nuan fell asleep just as dawn hit. He didn’t think that he slept too long, but when he later awoke in a tizzy, he found that it was already midday.
“Aiya, it’s this late!” Wen Nuan quickly tumbled out of bed. They were supposed to investigate the school today.
In the room, there was only Wen Nuan. It was quiet, and Baili Wuchang was nowhere to be seen.
Wen Nuan hopped off the bed and changed into the clothes he had washed yesterday, mumbling to himself, “Did Baili Wuchang go off to investigate on his own? How come he didn’t wake me up?”
Wen Nuan didn’t have much time to wash up. He opened the door and wanted to find the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang or Heibai Wuchang to see if they were still around.
“Ka-chak—”
As soon as he opened the door, Wen Nuan paused. He looked confusedly at the two Baili Wuchangs standing outside the door like two stone Buddhas…
“What are you…doing?” Wen Nuan asked slowly. Were they trying to cosplay General Heng and Ha?
It turned out nobody had left yet. They didn’t abandon Wen Nuan in the hotel.
Both Baili Wuchangs were carrying bags with hot, fragrant steam coming out of them. They were definitely delicious meals.
It was already twelve o’clock at noon, so it was time to eat lunch.
Baili Wuchang woke up in the morning to find Wen Nuan still resting. Seeing the dark blue shadows under his eyes, he couldn’t bear to wake him up to work, so he simply let him sleep a little longer.
While Wen Nuan was sleeping, Baili Wuchang thought of Wen Nuan’s satisfied smile when he ate, so he went downstairs to buy lunch for Wen Nuan.
Coincidentally, as Baili Wuchang came up the stairs with Wen Nuan’s lunch, he ran into himself from eighteen years ago at the door.
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang was also carrying a bag of lunch, about to knock on the door to Wen Nuan’s room.
When the two Baili Wuchangs met, they turned into fighting roosters who argued without words. Neither of them wanted to give in, and didn’t want the other to enter the room. In the end, this was the result.
Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly. He held one in each hand and pulled the two of them in together. You both have great figures and aren’t wide, so it’s not like the door could stop both of you. You could’ve just come in side by side…
Wen Nuan tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, “I’m so hungry. Smells good! Let me see what each of you brought for lunch!”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang said, “I don’t know what you like, so I just picked a few dishes out.”
“Heh—”
Unsurprisingly, Baili Wuchang interjected mockingly, “You don’t even know what Wen Nuan likes?”
He put his lunch on the table and said, “Wen Nuan, they’re all your favorites. Take a look.”
Wen Nuan opened the lunch box, his eyes suddenly brightening.
“Sweet and sour carp! Stewed beef! Braised pork!”
It turned out to be all dishes Wen Nuan liked to eat. Nothing was out of place, and they were all meat.
Seeing Wen Nuan smile, Baili Wuchang glanced provocatively at the eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang.
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang calmly opened his lunch box, and Wen Nuan’s eyes widened even more in surprise.
“They’re exactly the same! As expected of the same person.”
It turned out that the lunches brought by both Baili Wuchangs were the exact same three dishes. The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang was able to guess Wen Nuan’s preferences.
When Baili Wuchang saw this, his expression grew dark.
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang said, “Wen Nuan, eat it while it’s hot. Don’t rush. You can rest for a while after eating before we do anything else.”
“Heh—”
Before Wen Nuan could respond, Baili Wuchang sneered again.
Baili Wuchang crossed his arms. “
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re planning. I’m guessing you’re deliberately delaying how efficiently we’ll handle the case. If the case remains unresolved, we won’t be able to find the Youxian pillow and return to the real world. That way, you’ll be able to keep seeing Wen Nuan, right?”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang also crossed his arms and said, “So what if it is, so what if it isn’t?”
Baili Wuchang said coldly, “I told you not to have any thoughts about him.”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang said, “My thoughts are not as filthy as your thoughts. Don’t lump me in with you.”
“Filthy?” Baili Wuchang said with a dark face. “Are you talking about me?”
The eighteen-years-ago Baili Wuchang said, “It’s true. I saw you buy a dress for Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan is obviously a boy, but you deliberately bought him a dress. Isn’t it because you have a filthy mind? It’s hard for me to imagine that I will be a pervert like you in the future.”
“Oh, so I’m a pervert?” Baili Wuchang was not to be outdone. “Better than a hypocrite like you who talks big and means nothing.”
Wen Nuan: “…” It seemed like they were going to fight again.
The author has something to say: [Mini Theater]
