By the time he woke up, it was already dark. Yan Junye found the rectangular table a little cold. Tomorrow, he would have Chang Yu arrange a bed for him at the company.
He had seen Chang Yu take his midday nap at work in the bedroom adjoining his office. There was definitely a bed in there!
Hopping handsomely off the table, Yan Junye walked on two legs to knock on Chang Yu's office door, signaling that it was time to go home.
Chang Yu couldn't leave yet. He gave Xiaotu a bag of snacks to fill his stomach. "Wait in the conference room for a little while."
Copying Chang Yu, Yan Junye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked outside.
He saw Gan Junda arguing with the security guards. Before long, they were grappling with each other.
The thrill had always been based on the possibility of getting caught. Yan Junye thought that now Gan Junda had actually been caught, he had finally experienced a real thrill.
Before the guards could call the police, people rushed out of a black car and forcibly took Gan Junda away.
They were most likely Yu Yan's family.
Aside from the most basic outcome of divorce, Yu Yan's family wouldn't let Gan Junda off easily in other respects either.
Gan Junda would definitely lose his reputation, see his company go bankrupt, and become a laughingstock.
Once he finished watching the spectacle, Chang Yu came out of his office too.
This time, he didn't follow behind Chang Yu. Instead, he stood at his side and swaggered past the company employees.
Every employee's gaze was drawn to Xiaotu.
Because of the hierarchy between boss and subordinate, no one at the company had yet dared to stand beside President Chang.
But why was President Chang's dog walking upright?
"Is President Chang making Xiaotu stand as punishment? Poor doggy."
"Xiaotu must be so bored at the company every day. President Chang doesn't have time to play with him, and there aren't any other dogs here."
Yan Junye blinked, then turned his head back and kept walking as though nothing had happened.
-It's not that I won't clear your name. They just can't understand what I'm saying.
Chang Yu felt that even if Xiaotu could talk, he wouldn't speak up for him.
Explaining would be too much trouble. He was better off leaving quickly.
Usually, he put Xiaotu in the back seat. Today, Xiaotu hopped into the passenger seat on his own and even pointed at the seat belt, asking to be buckled in.
Chang Yu felt he really was raising a child who had already grown up but couldn't do anything for himself.
"Any other instructions?" Chang Yu really wanted to ask, did he know that, acting like this, he looked as though he was about to become a spirit?
Yan Junye's definition of himself was a dog who understood humans and was full of wisdom.
He was merely copying human actions.
Yan Junye shook his head, and only then did Chang Yu release the brake.
The dog who usually went straight to sleep after coming home and eating made a rare appearance in the bathroom.
Rather than crouching on the floor, he sat on the stool in front of the sink.
Still brushing his teeth, Chang Yu lowered his gaze to Xiaotu. "Want to wash up?"
Yan Junye nodded haughtily.
Although his eyes still weren't level with Chang Yu's, on second thought, he hadn't seemed to be as tall as Chang Yu when he was human either.
He would just have to put up with the stool being a little low.
Chang Yu brushed Xiaotu's teeth as usual. Afterward, Xiaotu put his paw on the hand holding the face towel.
He had even learned to ask to have his face washed.
"I still need to shave. Do you want a shave too?"
Yan Junye felt the damp towel brush very gently over the corners of his eyes. Having his washing done without lifting a finger was a very nice experience.
At the question, he shook his head.
He didn't grow a beard now, so he didn't need to shave.
Even after washing up, he didn't leave. He watched to see what other bedtime care steps Chang Yu had left. He couldn't miss any.
Chang Yu could hardly keep from laughing. "I still have work to do later. Want to join me?"
Hearing that, Yan Junye immediately jumped off the stool and walked away, wagging his tail.
He had worked more than enough overtime in his previous life. He chose sleep.
Chang Yu followed him with a smile, planning to lock Xiaotu's bedroom door. The ten days weren't over yet.
But Xiaotu didn't head toward the bedroom. Instead, he went to the table and put his paw on the phone. "Woof, woof, woof!"
[I want to play on a phone too!]
He hadn't touched a phone in days.
As a human, how could he possibly go without a phone to keep him company?
-If you won't let me hump you, I'm going to look at handsome guys on the phone! Otherwise, I'll howl so much you won't get any sleep all night!
Chang Yu first put his own phone safely away. He really didn't know what to do with Xiaotu.
He found an old phone he no longer used. Xiaotu knew how to play on it without being taught.
"Can you go to sleep now?" Chang Yu rested his hand on the doorknob. "Good night."
Hugging his pillow and scrolling through Douyin, Yan Junye ignored Chang Yu. He wasn't necessarily going to sleep peacefully tonight.
After closing the door, Chang Yu let out a deep sigh.
Raising a person who was like a dog was exhausting.
He hadn't gone far before Xiaotu's thoughts reached him again.
-No matter how I look at it, this film emperor's body and abs are more perfect than Chang Yu's. That face really is a face made for international stardom. So handsome!
At this moment, Yan Junye, a sucker for good looks, was utterly absorbed in the beauty of the film emperor and a whole host of handsome male celebrities.
Even the pillow wasn't much use anymore.
-This newly famous actor, Li Yong, is pretty good too. His smile makes him look so open and sunny. The comments even say he's some company president's son, venturing into the entertainment industry.
Rich, handsome, and gentle, with actors usually too busy to be home much-Yan Junye thought both the film emperor and Li Yong would make very suitable new owners.
Unfortunately, he couldn't meet the celebrities in person.
He had been busy with work before and had never managed to snag tickets to anything. He was destined to have no luck with handsome men. No wonder he had never even touched a handsome guy's hand before he died.
Chang Yu quickened his pace back to his bedroom.
If he listened any longer, he might pick Xiaotu up and demand to know whether he still wanted that phone.
The next morning, Chang Yu opened Xiaotu's bedroom door to find him sleeping utterly peacefully, his paws still clasping the phone tightly, a lovestruck smile on his face.
He was definitely dreaming about handsome guys.
As usual, he picked up the soundly sleeping Xiaotu to take him to the car, but the sleeping dog seemed to remain deeply immersed in a wonderful dream.
On the way to the garage, he felt something wet rubbing against his neck.
He looked down and saw Xiaotu rubbing him with his black nose.
With a look of utter resignation, Chang Yu pushed the dog's head away.
The dog's head settled down, but then something below seemed to start stirring.
Unable to stand it anymore, Chang Yu slapped a large hand straight onto the dog's backside.
"Wake up."
"Awooo, awooo-!"
[Aaah! Don't touch my butt! You can't touch me there! That's the purity I've protected for over twenty years!]
In his dream, Yan Junye had been exchanging friendly greetings with a handsome guy, telling each other how happy they were to meet.
Then the fucking man went straight for his butt. Startled, he immediately warned him and swatted a paw at that ill-intentioned bastard's face.
Fortunately, Chang Yu dodged quickly. The dog's paw missed his face and hit his neck instead.
By the time they reached the car, Chang Yu's anger had reached its limit. He threw the dog in his arms onto the back seat.
Yan Junye felt a moment of weightlessness.
When he opened his eyes, there was no handsome guy before him, only Chang Yu, his face dark with fury as he struggled to hold his temper.
He immediately curled up in a corner and gave a few pitiful whimpers.
Unfortunately, Chang Yu wasn't softened by his fluffy cuteness. Instead, he climbed into the back seat too and shut the door, as though he intended to do something to a big dog like him.
Yan Junye adjusted his position, hiding his butt as well as he could.
