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

Ch67 - Found a Handsome Man

Song Xuanhe objected. He and Xiao Yuanmu had no future together. There was no need to remember his words.

Fortunately, the Director just so happened to return at this time. Song Xuanhe thus stood up and said, "Director, you're back."

The Director had hurried over here because she had noticed that the rain seemed to have lightened up. She wanted to take advantage of the lighter rain and head over to their lodging right away. Therefore, she didn't come back into the room. "The rain is lighter now. Let's head over right away."

Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu had no objections. Song Xuanhe supported the Director as she walked in the front and Xiao Yuanmu trailed behind them with the puppy in his arms. The party of three humans and one dog walked along the dark, quiet path. The rain pitter-pattered around them and the puppy occasionally whined. Because of this, it was no longer as terrifying as it had been before.

Although the Director was old, she was still very nimble on her feet. She was even more dexterous and graceful on her feet than the two men. In less than ten minutes, they reached the two-storied building where the orphanage employees and teachers lived.

Xiao Yuanmu's room was the most innermost room on the second floor. It was next to the Director's room. Thus, the three of them climbed up the stairs one after another. When she reached her door, the Director smiled and said, "The bathroom has everything you need. You two were soaked by the rain just now. It would be best if you two showered and warmed up your bodies before going to bed."

"We know. Granny, you should go to bed early."

The Director made a sound of acknowledgement and then reminded them of a few more things before entering her room.

Song Xuanhe turned around to look at the door that was on the wall perpendicular to Xiao Yuanmu's room. He pushed the door open and walked in. Inside was a cramped but clean washroom. He was surprised. "Is this communal?"

Xiao Yuanmu thought that he was disdaining it for being shabby so he didn't answer. He then heard Song Xuanhe say, "The Director also got soaked by the rain just now. How about we let her go first?"

When he didn't hear Xiao Yuanmu's reply, Song Xuanhe shut the door and turned around. "Or does the Director have a bathroom in her room?"

"No." Xiao Yuanmu said, a trace of warmth permeating through his cool, refreshing voice. "She's used to showering in the main building after dinner. Don't worry. Granny will boil a pot of hot water for herself."

Xiao Yuanmu's voice was always a bit more gentle than usual when he was at the orphanage. But the fact that he was giving Song Xuanhe an explanation out of his own accord was new. Song Xuanhe glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, a bit astonished. But he didn't say anything else.

Xiao Yuanmu opened the door to his room. After letting Song Xuanhe in, he brought the puppy to a corner of his room and then used some of his clothes to make a little padded area for him. He looked up and said to Song Xuanhe, "There are clothes in the wardrobe you can change into. Grab whatever you want and go take a shower."

The puppy seemed to understand who it was that truly liked him and would treat him well. As Xiao Yuanmu wiped him dry, he barked in his sweet puppy voice and wagged his tail quickly. He would also occasionally lick Xiao Yuanmu's hand.

"I'm the one who picked him up." Song Xuanhe clicked his tongue. "Who would have expected that he would only repay me, his benefactor, by peeing on me? Meanwhile, he wags his tail at you and licks your hand."

Xiao Yuanmu gently petted the puppy's head. His tone was still gentle, void of its usual frost. His voice sounded even more refreshing and pure against the sound of the torrential rain. "Animals are different from humans. They can tell who's a good person and who's a bad person. They may not necessarily hold a grudge against bad people, but if someone is kind to them, they will remember it for the rest of their lives."
