Chapter 235
Bai Tu was awakened by someone shaking him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar yet strange white ceiling.
It seemed like he had just taken a nap, but how had the Beast God Continent developed such glossy white walls? It resembled what he had seen in his previous life.
Soon, Bai Tu realized that this was not the Beast God Continent but his dormitory, because the person who had woken him up was none other than his roommate.
Though he had lived on the Beast God Continent for several years, he hadn’t forgotten his roommate. When he first arrived, the interference from the fox steps had generated some false memories, but as time passed, he not only remembered everything from his childhood but also recalled the scene when he first transmigrated.
Although the development processes in both worlds weren’t exactly the same, one thing was clear—no matter the starting point, the Beast God Continent had been improving.
But how had he ended up back here? Bai Tu was confused. Wasn’t Lang Qi going to be worried? What about the cubs?
His roommate seemed a little anxious. Once Bai Tu had tidied up, he started packing his suitcase. “The car is downstairs. I’m leaving now. Don’t forget to return the key to the dorm manager when you leave.”
“Mm-mm.” Still lost in his thoughts, Bai Tu absentmindedly responded, his mind racing to understand what had happened.
Just then, a sharp ringing sound pierced the air.
Bai Tu glanced at his phone on the pillow. After a moment’s hesitation, he picked it up and, somewhat clumsily, answered it: “Hello?”
“Hello, may I speak with Mr. Bai Tu? I’m your father’s assistant. We’re downstairs at your dorm. Could you come down to meet us?”
Bai Tu hung up the phone without a second thought. He was an orphan. He had been raised by adoptive parents, and after they passed away in an accident, the only family left was his elderly grandparents. Both had passed away when he was ten. Who could possibly be calling him a “father”? And why were they still downstairs instead of at his dorm door?
Before he could think further, there was a knock at the door, followed by a very polite voice: “Is anyone here?”
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Bai Tu didn’t have time to think. He responded quickly, “Come in.”
The door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Bai Tu. “Hello, my name is Bai Luo. May I get to know you?”
An unhappy voice came from outside the door: “What’s the dorm manager doing? They said they were here to pick up their son but won’t let us in…”
Ignoring the complaints from outside, Bai Tu stared at Bai Luo, who seemed a little older than his memories. After a long pause, he finally found his voice: “Dad!”
Bai Luo didn’t expect Bai Tu to recognize him. He raised his hand and hugged his son, who was about his own height. “Mm! It’s Dad!”
Behind Bai Luo, a man named Hei Yuan grumbled, “You little brat, you only call him ‘Luo’ and not me, huh?”
To this, Bai Tu replied coldly, “Who are you?”
Hei Yuan: “…”
Bai Luo’s eyes were filled with tears, but when he saw his partner being mocked, he didn’t show any sympathy. After all, it was his own fault for hiding everything. He hadn’t even shown his face when he visited Bai Tu in a dream.
The appearance of Bai Luo and Hei Yuan interrupted Bai Tu’s thoughts. But after the initial joy of seeing them, Bai Tu remembered his partner and the cubs. His thoughts about them lingered as he made his way downstairs. Suddenly, he turned to Hei Yuan and asked, “Dad, is our family rich?”
“Eh—” Hei Yuan suddenly stopped, his guard up. “What do you want to do?”
Bai Tu turned to look outside the dorm. Among the bustling crowd, he saw a familiar figure holding several cubs, waiting for him.
“I want to open a wildlife zoo,” Bai Tu said slowly.
End of the story.
