[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch64 - And Then I Wanted to Kiss Him

The infirmary was really simple and crude. It looked like it also functioned as a small book room. On one side, there were three yellow, peeling wooden bookshelves filled with books. On the other side, there was a curtain. Behind that curtain was a medicine cabinet. That side was the infirmary.

Song Xuanhe stood at the door, his gaze on the man who was sitting next to the window. The other's expression was insipid, and he was currently carelessly treating his wound. After pouring disinfectant onto his wound, he didn't even wipe off the excess. He also didn't wrap up his wound afterwards and just left it exposed.

"Aren't you going to put gauze over that?"

Song Xuanhe tried to hold himself back, but he couldn't stop himself from speaking up in the end.

Xiao Yuanmu looked up at him, his gaze falling onto the other's slightly furrowed brows. Suddenly, he blinked and asked, "Do you think I killed that dog?"

Song Xuanhe was taken aback. The boy's words just now once again appeared in his mind.

In the past, he had only ever interacted with the Director, who was always kind and amicable, as well as Yuanyuan, who was always lively and cheerful. That was why he had subconsciously thought that the orphanage was actually a warm and harmonious place despite the fact that the orphans didn't have relatives here.

But, the rock that had been thrown at him and that boy's calm, matter-of-course tone had made him realize just what kind of environment Xiao Yuanmu had grown up in was like.

The still young Xiao Yuanmu holding a puppy in his hands, the corpse of the puppy after it had been murdered, the blood on Xiao Yuanmu, the vigilant and suspicious gazes of the surrounding people—Song Xuanhe was able to clearly picture each and every one of these scenes. These images had then fused together with the cold Xiao Yuanmu in front of him.

The faint traces of the setting sun's rays could not illuminate Xiao Yuanmu's pitch-black eyes. Song Xuanhe pursed his lips. He felt an odd sense of deja vu. The moment the sun had completely set behind the mountain, he turned on the light switch beside him.

The infirmary lit up, and Song Xuanhe asked Xiao Yuanmu in return, "Do you like dogs?"

Xiao Yuanmu squinted, blinded by the sudden light. When he heard Song Xuanhe's question, he regarded the other meaningfully. The moment his eyes met with Song Xuanhe's pure ones, he suddenly understood what the other was thinking.

He didn't know why, but he found this situation a bit funny. Therefore, he chuckled. "Do you believe me?"

He then continued, "Why?"

Song Xuanhe blinked, a puzzled look inside his eyes. "I didn't say that I believed you. I just asked you if you liked dogs or not."

"Then, forget it." Song Xuanhe shrugged his shoulders, appearing disappointed. He then walked outside and brought in a whining puppy. "I picked him up for you to take care of. I have no interest in raising pets. Since you don't like dogs, I'll take him back."

"No." Xiao Yuanmu's voice was cold. He rejected that proposal at once.

Song Xuanhe raised a brow. "Why not?"

The puppy raised his head, resting his chin on Song Xuanhe's arms. He barked in his sweet little puppy voice while examining Xiao Yuanmu curiously with his black eyes.

Xiao Yuanmu frowned. He walked over to Song Xuanhe but ignored the puppy. In a flat voice, he said, "He won't survive for more than a week if he's left here."

Song Xuanhe stiffened. He didn't ask why.

"Let's go." Xiao Yuanmu took a step out of the infirmary first. He said, "It's time for dinner."
