Gu Ling had never seen this boy before, so he turned to Ye Wuyan and asked: "Senior Ye, this is..."
"Num~" Ye Wuyan jumped down the steps in a few steps: "This is the younger brother of a relative of mine. He transferred to this school. You can take care of him when you have time."
Ye Wuyan took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Gu Ling.
"This is his food expenses and care expenses. There is one million in it. One hundred thousand yuan a month for care expenses. The password is 6 sixes. Tell me after you have spent it."
Looking at the bank card reflecting the white light in the sun, Gu Ling silently swallowed the words of 'rejection', took the bank card with both hands, and replied solemnly:
"...Okay, no problem! Keep it on me!"
So, Ye Wuyan started to mind his own business and clapped his fingers and said: "Xiaobai has been transferred to Class 6, Grade 2, in your No. 1 Middle School. You take him to and from school on weekdays. If there are any notices that require parents to sign, you can sign them on your behalf. One day Just don't forget to order his share of the three meals... Oh, by the way, I rented the room next to yours for him to stay temporarily, and here is the spare key."
Ye Wuyan thought about it carefully and made sure that there was nothing he had missed. He turned to look at the boy and said, "You stay in Nanping No. 1 Middle School and go to school. I'll leave to do some errands."
When the boy heard the word "leave", his eyes flickered slightly. He raised his head and looked at Ye Wuyan, hugging the duck doll slightly tightly in his arms.
Ye Wuyan walked over in a few steps and grabbed a handful of the boy's hair, as if caressing some kind of stuffed toy: "Xiao Bai, be good, wait until I finish a few small things, and I will come back to see you."
The boy pursed his lips slightly and said in a very soft voice: "...Hmm."
At this time, Gu Ling glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the naughty ghost had quietly touched the boy's back at some point. His big blood-red eyes were staring at the boy's shadow. After staring for several seconds, one of them couldn't hold back and floated. He went over and stretched out his chubby hand to poke the shadow.
But before the naughty ghost poked the shadow, ripples appeared on the surface of the shadow. Then, a black head cautiously poked out from the shadow, just in time to meet the naughty ghost's sight.
Four eyes facing each other——
One second.
Two seconds.
"...Jie!"
"...demon!"
The naughty ghost and the 'head' in the shadow were both frightened.
The movement behind him startled the boy. He turned around, and when he saw the naughty man so close, his pupils shrank slightly!
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost noticed that the boy was staring at it, and turned to the boy with a smile that he thought was very kind.
boom!
The boy subconsciously stepped back, but accidentally fell down the steps.
The originally cold and even indifferent expression was shattered, and a look of obvious panic and fear emerged.
At this moment, the duck doll in the boy's arms suddenly moved, and an invisible mental wave rippled out, knocking the naughty man back several steps.
"...Is this?" Gu Ling's eyes narrowed.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous~"
Ye Wuyan looked like he just remembered it and introduced to Gu Ling: "This is Xiaobai's contracted pet beast, one ghost type and one super type. They are possessed by Xiaobai's shadow and doll. You can also feed them some food by the way, just don't starve to death."
Gu Ling was a little surprised.
It feels like this boy is a few years younger than her, right?
But such a young child contracted two pet beasts? Is he already a two-star beast master?
While Gu Ling caught the naughty guy back, he asked, "Senior Ye, what is this brother's name? How old is he?"
"His name is Ye Xiaobai. He should be 14 this year." Ye Wuyan said in a somewhat showy tone: "What do you think of the name I chose? Does it sound good? Is it cute?"
Gu Ling: "..."
Didn’t I just say that this is a relative’s younger brother?
Why did you choose the name again?
Suddenly, Ye Wuyan mysteriously approached Gu Ling's ear and whispered in a low voice: "This child is a bit introverted, doesn't like to talk much, is a bit afraid of the dark and ghosts, and that new evil-eating ghost you raised... is still... The glutton is coming, stay away from him, otherwise it will scare him easily."
Hearing this, Gu Ling couldn't help but glance at the ghost beast hiding under Ye Xiaobai's shadow, which had quietly retreated.
Since you are afraid of ghost beasts, why did you contract with a ghost beast?
"If you talk to him and he doesn't respond to you, you don't have to worry about his habits. As long as you don't snatch his ducklings, he will explode~" Ye Wuyan said the last sentence very seriously, even if it is a mask. Even the sunglasses can't block the wonderful flying look.
Gu Ling: "..."
Senior Ye, have you exposed something?
As an older road-crazy young man, you still try to steal a child’s plush doll?
Gu Ling couldn't help but torture his soul: "Senior Ye, are you sure you didn't kidnap this person?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Wuyan was shocked: "How did you know?!"
Gu Ling's expression was choked.
"...Senior, can your confession be consistent?" You can't just turn around and forget the lie you just made up, right?
Ye Wuyan waved his hand: "They are all small problems ~ small problems ~"
"Remember the small condition I told you before? You can help me take care of Xiaobai so that he can go to No. 1 Middle School like a normal person."
Gu Ling looked slightly startled.
She had been thinking about the 'condition' for a long time before, but she didn't expect it to be this?
"I try my best."
Gu Ling still wasn't ready to take any chances.
God knows what kind of personality this boy has. If he has Gu Zhou's noisy personality, Gu Ling doesn't believe that he can take good care of others.
"OK."
Ye Wuyan was in a significantly better mood after finally taking the person out of custody.
"...Then I'm leaving, bye~"
After Ye Wuyan left, Gu Ling turned to look at Ye Xiaobai, who stood up slowly from the ground. He raised his finger and pointed at the small sign hanging around his neck: "Can I see this?"
The moment the duck doll fluttered, it happened to reveal the small sign hanging on Ye Xiaobai's neck, which seemed to have photos and text on it.
Ye Xiaobai lowered his eyes and glanced at the brand. He looked confused for a moment, but took it off and handed it to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling took it and took a look——
[Mug shot]
Name: Ye Xiaobai
Age: 16 years old
Home address: 305, Building x, xx Community, Nanping County
School address: Class 6, Grade 2, Nanping No. 1 Middle School
Guardian contact number: 188xxxxxxxx
Note: If a kind person picks it up, please call the guardian’s contact number immediately.
……Forehead.
How come the age on this is 16? Wrong writing?
Gu Ling asked: "Did Senior Ye do it?"
Ye Xiaobai nodded.
After getting the answer, Gu Ling felt that it was indeed the case, so he returned the brand to Ye Xiaobai and asked him to put it back on.
"Are you really a relative of Senior Ye?" Gu Ling felt that this was a lie casually told by Ye Wuyan, and there was no truth in it at all.
Anyone who has ever surfed the Internet knows that Ye Wuyan was born an orphan and had no blood relatives at all.
Could it be from Professor Ye Hui's side? But Professor Ye Hui seems to have never been married...
When Ye Xiaobai heard this, he seemed to lower his head and think seriously, but he didn't come up with a reason.
Gu Ling: "...Forget it."
No matter who he is, he earns 100,000 yuan a month. This is the 'finance master' and must be served.
Looking at the boy who was a head shorter than herself and standing quietly in front of her, Gu Ling raised her finger and pointed at the stairs:
"Let's go to your house and have a look first. If there's anything missing, you can buy it before it gets dark."
Ye Xiaobai's expression fluctuated slightly.
He understood this sentence.
He nodded.
Then, they followed Gu Ling upstairs together.
…
night.
In room 305.
Ye Xiaobai sat quietly on the balcony, looking up at the brightly lit night scene in the distance.
There seemed to be several voices ringing in my ears——
"Hello, I'm here to pick you up."
"From now on, your last name will be Ye. As for your name..."
"Xiao Xiao? Bai Bai? Mo Mo? Xiao Bai? Bai Mo? Which name do you like...then just call it Xiao Bai!"
"..."
In a blink of an eye, all the deep mountains and dense forests in my memory disappeared.
Ye Xiaobai lowered his eyes, tightened his arms, and hugged the duck doll in his arms a little tighter. There seemed to be something in the shadow falling on the floor behind him.
Gu Ling took the takeout that had just been delivered and placed it on the dining table.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobai was still looking out with a dull look, Gu Ling sat at the dining table and said, "Since Senior Ye said he was going to do some small things, it will definitely not take too long. He will be back soon." .”
"Let's eat first. I don't know your taste, so I ordered a few takeaways that I usually like."
Ye Xiaobai turned to look at Gu Ling, then stood up, walked over, and sat at the dining table.
Ye Xiaobai looked at the chopsticks and spoons in front of him, and finally picked up the spoon, spooning the food in a somewhat unskilled manner and eating quietly.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai eating his meal obediently, Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little bit troubled.
...She has never taken care of children.
Although Ye Wuyan's request was made casually, Gu Ling couldn't really take it lightly.
One hundred thousand yuan a month!
After eating, Ye Xiaobai sat back on the balcony again, his eyes still looking outside.
Gu Ling suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Bai, I'm going to visit a nearby animal sanctuary in the next few days. Do you want to go with me? Just go out and take a walk?"
On the way back, Gu Ling was still thinking about making up a reason for asking for leave and asking Zhou Mengran to approve the leave so that she could go to the Pet Animal Sanctuary to gain points.
Teacher Zhou Mengran also knew the agreement between himself and Ye Wuyan.
So in order to take care of Ye Xiaobai, who has just arrived in Nanping County, it is normal to take him around and show his friendship as a landlord, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Ling's eyes towards Ye Xiaobai became more kind and friendly.
Senior Ye is such a good person~
Hearing the words 'pet beast sanctuary', Ye Xiaobai's eyes fluctuated a little. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
...He's not used to being here.
...But that person wants him to return here, and he will try to adapt.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobai agreed, Gu Ling immediately took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Mengran——
"Teacher Zhou, Senior Ye asked me to take care of his friend's younger brother..."
"Yes, I want to take half a month... no, just a week's leave and take him to play around."
"...Let's go to the Pet Animal Sanctuary. I just want to do some homework."
"...I will definitely not fail in the course."
"..."
Ten minutes later, Gu Ling successfully asked for a week's vacation.
"A week is not too much. If you squeeze in a little bit... you should be able to visit more than a dozen protected areas, right?" Gu Ling made an estimate in his mind and went online to search for nearby pet animal reserves that can be visited in a good mood. .
This time, it’s not too much to earn a few thousand points!
Half an hour later, after Gu Ling checked Ye Xiaobai's house infrastructure, he took Xianjiu back to his house opposite.
Before leaving, Gu Ling and Ye Xiaobai added each other's contact information so that they could easily find someone at any time.
After returning home, the naughty ghost who was left at home floated over with a pitiful expression.
Considering that Ye Xiaobai was afraid of ghost beasts, Gu Ling didn't bring the naughty ghost here just now.
"Who told you to scare people?" Gu Ling poked the naughty guy in the face.
That's the sponsor!
The naughty ghost still felt aggrieved and wanted to hug Gu Ling: "Jie Jie~"
Gu Ling touched the naughty guy's head: "Okay, don't feel wronged."
"I know you don't mean any harm."
"Jie Jie~"
As soon as the monthly exam ended, Gu Ling allowed Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost to relax tonight, leaving a family bucket at home for the two pet beasts.
After finishing eating and drinking, it was almost 23 o'clock. After Gu Ling finished his meditation, he was ready to go back to his room to rest.
"Good night, Xianjiu, naughty devil."
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost said good night to Gu Ling with sweet expressions.
After Gu Ling fell asleep, the two little guys opened their eyes in unison.
Then, one started meditating, and the other turned around and went into the study to continue 'study'.
…
the next day.
Gu Ling got up early.
As soon as she got up, she found that both Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost were up, and she didn't need to wake them up.
Naughty people are not surprising.
But Xianjiu could get up so early... Well, Gu Ling was very pleased.
After washing and dressing, Gu Ling put all his belongings into his backpack and turned to look at the two pet beasts who were both holding tablets and reading study materials.
"Stop looking, we have to go out."
Hearing this, Xianjiu put down his tablet and jumped towards Gu Ling.
But the naughty ghost didn't move. It pointed at the tablet, then at itself, and then shook its head.
"Jie Jie~"
Gu Ling was a little confused and looked at Xian Jiu.
Unexpectedly, Xianjiu had an angry look on his face at this time, which showed that Gu Ling looked over and started to translate reluctantly.
It turned out that the naughty ghost wanted to stay at home and continue studying.
Moreover, Gu Ling was going to take Ye Xiaobai out, so it would not be a good idea to follow him by himself.
"Naughty boy, do you really not want to go?"
Although Ye Xiaobai was afraid of coming into contact with the ghost beast and Gu Ling had to take care of him, Gu Ling didn't want his pet to be wronged.
The naughty guy shook his head again, and then started to wink: "Jie Jie~"
It needs to study hard and become stronger~
Only in this way can we help the beast master and not lose the face of the beast master!
"Fine."
Gu Ling touched the naughty guy's head: "If you have anything, please contact me."
There is Penguin software on the tablet, and Gu Ling taught two pet beasts how to use Penguin Phone.
"Xianjiu, let's go then."
When Gu Ling turned around, he saw Xian Jiu, who was originally very interested in going out to play, now had a confused look on his face.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
