Chapter 26
Yan He is actually straight? Yun Xiao frowned slightly, but his expression quickly relaxed.
There might be something wrong with the feng shui at Bestia Academy. Once inside, whether it’s because the male students don’t see women for years or because they were into men to begin with, they all eventually turn gay.
It’s just a matter of time.
Yan He couldn’t keep his hands off the pet brushes and couldn’t resist asking, “Yun Shao, since you’re giving all these to me, can I take a few back with me?”
Yun Xiao’s internal alarm bells rang gently. Yan He had a roommate. He wouldn’t use his brushes on Bai Yuzhou, would he? The audacity!
Keep dreaming!
Yun Xiao said, “Since I’ve given them to you, they are yours. How you dispose of them is your business, but you should think clearly about the moral character of specially-enrolled students.”
Yan He paused at those words. Yun Xiao wasn’t wrong.
Bai Yuzhou was the protagonist shou with a resilient, pure-hearted persona; he would never steal. At most, there would be a plotline where he was falsely accused of stealing. But the character of the other students in the specially-enrolled dorms couldn’t be guaranteed.
Leaving these expensive pet brushes in Yun Xiao’s private villa was actually the best option. He could just take two of the cheaper ones back.
While Yan He was still considering this, the Yun Xiao in front of him suddenly shrank with a whoosh. His uniform jacket fell crookedly to the floor, and crouching on top of the clothes was a spirited, energetic golden eagle.
Looking at his expression, this wasn’t a forced transformation due to unstable emotions; he had transformed voluntarily.
Yan He couldn’t help but admire Yun Xiao’s boldness. He had only just recovered, yet he dared to transform again on his own, disregarding the risk of not being able to turn back.
Yan He met the golden eagle’s gaze, lifted the heavy, sparkling pet brush in his hand, and asked tentatively, “Yun Shao, do you want me to brush you?”
Seeing the golden eagle nod, Yan He immediately got to work.
The finely crafted brush head was dipped in the pre-prepared grooming lotion and gently brushed over the long feathers. As Yan He moved, the jeweled pet brush dazzled in the light.
Hahaha, he was going to brush Yun Xiao’s feathers for the rest of his life!
Yun Xiao felt a wave of comfort coursing through every part of his bird body. Hahaha, he was going to make Yan He brush his bird feathers for the rest of his life!
Suddenly, the golden eagle’s gaze turned alert. A moment later, there was a knock at the main door. The head bodyguard opened the door, stuck his head in, and said with a grim expression, “Yun Shao, people from the Academy Inspection Department are here. They want to take you in for an examination.”
Sure enough, several official academy inspectors stood outside.
Obviously, Yun Xiao’s recent erratic behavior had attracted the attention of the academy’s higher-ups. Through observation, they had discovered that Yun Xiao might have “fully transformed.” To ensure the safety of the other students, if it was confirmed that he had gone feral, they would have to enforce mandatory measures on him.
In that instant, Yan He realized that in this academy, even someone as noble as the F4 had to follow the rules.
Yan He immediately blocked the golden eagle and said, “There is nothing wrong with Yun Xiao’s body. You cannot take him away.”
The lead inspector stared at Yan He and laughed out loud. “Is that so? Then why is Young Master Yun still in his beast form right now?”
No student in the academy actively stayed in beast form. They had already detected issues with Yun Xiao.
Every student in the academy had a detailed transformation monitoring report. They evaluated that among the F4, Yun Xiao was the most likely to fully transform and lose his humanity.
They were eighty percent sure; otherwise, they wouldn’t lightly come knocking and offend someone. After all, this was the F4, and the Yun family was one of the top financial conglomerates in the entire empire.
Yan He nodded. “Yes, Young Master Yun and I are playing… a game!”
The inspector smiled. “Is that so? And what game would that be?”
His tone made it clear he didn’t believe it. Yan He cast a glance at the golden eagle. The eagle let out a cold, sneering cry, picked up his own phone with his beak, and tossed it to Yan He.
As Yun Xiao’s lackey, Yan He thought for a second and understood Yun Xiao’s intention. Get the other members of the F4 involved, right?
Yan He immediately opened WeChat on Yun Xiao’s phone. He saw the pinned chat was “Wealth From All Directions” and paused for a moment—that was his WeChat profile picture. Why did Yun Xiao have him pinned?
No time to think about Yun Xiao’s behavior. Yan He quickly found a WeChat group named “F4.” There were only four people in the group.
Yan He decisively initiated a group video call and set up the phone.
Smart corporate slaves know to leave a paper trail of their work. He needed to show his boss his capability.
Yan He decisively grabbed the pet brush and skillfully groomed the bird feathers, then shouted with feigned concern, “Yun Shao, transform and show them!”
Yan He was actually nervous, worried that Yun Xiao wouldn’t be able to turn back.
Yun Xiao was well-prepared. The bird beak clamped onto his jacket to cover the critical areas as he decisively reverted to human form.
Aside from the leg hair on his left leg being a bit sparse, Yun Xiao considered himself as handsome and dashing as ever.
He Ting and Shen Xianqing turned on their cameras one after another, watching the scene in silence.
Yan He held up the fiery, colorful pet brush, still covered in bath bubbles, and shouted even more excitedly than Yun Xiao, “See? I told you it was a game!”
The inspectors looked at the restored human Yun Xiao in shock. He hasn’t fully transformed?
As if addicted to the game, Yun Xiao turned his head and transformed back into the golden eagle.
As the number one lackey, Yan He immediately cooperated with his big boss. He grabbed a piece of pork jerky from the side and tossed it to the golden eagle. “Here boy, here boy.”
In the F4 WeChat group, the last empty spot was filled by a figure wearing a light pink outer shirt—Xu Xingchuan. He watched the video with a smile, silent and making no sound.
The golden eagle performed a mid-air catch of the pork jerky.
Yan He applauded. “Beautiful work, Yun Shao! Transform back into a human for the family, and I’ll reward you with some beef jerky later!”
The inspectors: “…”
He Ting and the others: “…”
Yan He threw the beef jerky. The golden eagle displayed perfect aerial predatory skills, but the one who smugly ate the jerky was the human Yun Xiao, covering his private parts.
Right in front of the inspectors and the other three F4 members on the video call, they played an interactive game of “Master Training the Bird.” They played happily, oblivious to the world around them.
“Human form!”
“Bird form!”
“Bird form, fetch the fourth gold brush on the third row!”
“…”
Yan He, the little brother, provided full emotional value, and Yun Xiao, proud and happy, cooperated wildly, flying and changing back and forth in the display room.
Because he was too excited, the giant golden eagle head shoved right up to the phone screen. His three friends stared silently as he and his lackey played their game.
Hahaha! Friends on the screen, do you think I’ll be taken away by the inspectors?
Finally unable to watch any longer, the inspector spoke up to interrupt. “Apologies, it was our error in judgment. We will leave now.”
What full transformation!
Look at Young Master Yun, changing into a bird and then a human, like he’s being trained like a dog.
Who is the boss here, and who is the lackey?
You call this fully transformed? He can clearly control his emotions perfectly! The bad temper must be a disguise.
The inspectors left with apologetic faces.
In the group video call:
Xu Xingchuan arrived silently and left just as quietly.
He Ting couldn’t stand watching anymore either and said indifferently, “Leaving.”
Truly an eyesore.
Shen Xianqing revealed a meaningful smile through the screen. Just as I thought.
Physical stimulation!
After exiting the group video, Shen Xianqing immediately sent a message to Pan Ze.
[Poetry and Distance: Come to the lounge area at 8 PM tonight to find me.]
Pan Ze received the message and sighed helplessly.
Sigh. In the past, receiving a message from Shen Shao made him as happy as if it were New Year’s.
He was never afraid of being troubled by the F4. Being assigned tasks by the F4 meant he had value, so he was very willing to run errands for Shen Shao.
But now, he really didn’t want to follow Shen Shao anymore. This boss was too stingy!
Changing companies should be easy to understand, right? Few people stay at one company until retirement, right?
But… Pan Ze was scared. He didn’t have the courage to tell Shen Shao he didn’t want to be his lackey anymore.
He Shao was always aloof, mysterious, and low-maintenance; he wouldn’t actively recruit lackeys.
Xu Shao only believed in his Lord Beast God. He was the Beast God’s lackey and didn’t recruit lackeys either.
That left only Yun Shao.
Yun Shao was emotionally unstable and hot-tempered, having the worst reputation in the F4. Shen Shao, aside from being a bit stingy, had an excellent reputation and was known as the F4’s top strategist because of his intelligence.
One offered great benefits; the other offered prestige.
Pan Ze was incredibly conflicted and could only reply to Shen Xianqing that he would be there on time.
Sigh, if only there were a new boss. Someone good-tempered, smart, and willing to spend money.
Yan He was dying of laughter. being Yun Xiao’s lackey came with perks like this?
Training the bird was so much fun. It flew wherever he pointed—it was practically a spirit pet!
The key was, ignoring the feathers that had been plucked and hadn’t grown back yet, this golden eagle was incredibly beautiful. Supported by its feathers, it looked chubby and plump.
Yan He couldn’t resist several times; he touched the bird’s head, then its wings, and even hugged it directly.
Who said our Yun Shao has a bad temper? That’s pure slander!
Even with behavior bordering on harassment, Yun Xiao only paused for a moment, then the golden eagle tiptoed closer, obediently letting him pet it.
So cute!
When playtime was over, Yan He took out his phone while the golden eagle grabbed his clothes and went to the changing room to transform and dress.
[2: Did you feed the horses? Walk them? Where are you?]
This message was from half an hour ago.
Wow, he played with Yun Shao for half an hour?
Before Yan He could reply, another message came through.
[2: Did Yun Xiao give you your overtime pay?]
Mentioning this made Yan He even happier.
[Little Sprout He: I don’t want Yun Shao’s overtime pay.]
He Ting narrowed his eyes slightly. The little husky changed his nature? This wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
It’s not scary if you’re greedy; it’s scary if you don’t love money.
[Little Sprout He: [Image] Hahahaha, they’re all mine!]
The picture showed all kinds of pet brushes filling the entire display room.
He Ting’s eyes showed a hint of shock. Is this a display room, or does it look no different from a playroom?!
What exactly did Yan He and Yun Xiao play in there?
Once again, He Ting felt that being emotionally stable and not easily transforming might actually be a disadvantage.
“Yan He, ready to go? I have class.” Yun Xiao returned, dressed in his academy uniform and looking radiant.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yun Xiao felt his energy was excellent.
For the past six months, as he constantly transformed, his mental state had deteriorated. To feel better, he usually had to sleep all morning to recharge. But today, despite playing with Yan He all morning, he was full of energy and didn’t even need a nap.
Maybe… happy events refresh the spirit?
Yan He picked a fiery-colored pet brush to put in his backpack for later, then left with Yun Xiao.
Looking at the road outside and remembering that fierce beasts cared about keeping their lair locations secret, Yan He proactively pulled out the black eye mask from before.
Different mindset, different mood for doing the same thing.
Yun Xiao snatched the eye mask and threw it on the ground, shouting somewhat irritably:
“Wear what? Did I let you wear it?”
“Yan He, open your dog eyes wide and get a good look at the road to my villa!”
Yan He: “…”
That really sounds like he’s cursing me.
