TIGER WU'S

LIKE A BABY SITTER

Night was approaching when Rubby and Wu Jin Ming reached home. The house was still dark because there was no one in the house. Rubby's parents have no brothers. Papi and Mami Rubby were once children from an orphanage whose origins are unclear.

Rubby opened the door to his house, which was still locked. He stood there not going in immediately.

"Sister Tiger. I fear. Can I hold your hand?" Rubby looked at Wu Jin Ming's eyes expectantly.

"Hm." Wu Jin Ming nodded. She reached out her hand to Rubby and grabbed him.

Rubby turned on his phone to look for a light switch. He went around to turn on all the lights in his house. Still holding Wu Jin Ming's hand.

"The lights are so bright. Does it not use oil?" wu Jin Ming asked with a astonished look.

"No oil, Brother Tiger. It's called a lamp, not a lantern. Everything is electric, so there is no need to use oil" Rubby explained.

"Hm." Wu Jin Ming nodded - nodding.

"Sister Tiger, I'm gonna take a shower. You wait for me here." Rubby asked Wu Jin Ming to sit on his bed.

Wu Jin Ming rubbed Rubby's bed. Feeling that the mattress was very soft, Wu Jin Ming was curious. He's laying his body there. Wu Jin Ming closed his eyes to enjoy his gentle sensation. It's cozy.

Rubby came out of the bathroom looking for Wu Jin Ming. He smiled when he found the handsome man sitting on his bed.

"You're done." Wu Jin Ming sat on tiptoes.

"It has. Tiger's brother wants to take a shower?" rubby asked while drying her hair with a towel.

"Now. Where's the bathtub?" asked Wu Jin Ming.

Rubby patted his eel. He was at a loss how to explain to the man who used to be somehow alive in what era it was. Rubby took a deep breath - deep and then exhaled slowly. Patience.

"Come, Brother Tiger!" Rubby took Wu Jin Ming to the bathroom that was inside his room. Wu Jin Ming tailed behind him.

One by one Rubby explained the entire bathroom. Starting from the shower, water tap, toilet, soap, shampoo along with the uses and how to use it. Wu Jin Ming looked at him seriously - really. Whether he understands or not.

"Rubby, please teach me to take a bath in the human world today. This is very different from how ancient humans bathed." Wu Jin Ming cupped his hands begging.

Well, really, he doesn't understand. Rubby was twitching his slightly dizzy temple. It was free for him to talk at length to Tiger. Rubby finally gave up. He nodded obediently to Tiger's wishes. Instead of him having to sleep with a tiger that does not bathe. Let her be the baby sitter Tiger for this one time only.

"Open your shirt! But not all!" rubby's orders.

Wu Jin Ming according. He left his old pants between barantah limited to thighs. He returned to his original form with his long hair. Equally handsome, but Rubby actually preferred to see Wu Jin Ming with his long hair.

Rubby was fascinated with Wu Jin Ming's valour. 'Remember Rubby, he's not human. His life is different to yours. Remember, you have Moza. She loves you so much even though her parents are against your relationship.' Rubby monologues in heart.

Patiently Rubby flushed Wu Jin Ming's body in a shower. He poured a little liquid soap on the bath sponge. He squeezed it to foam and rubbed it against Wu Jin Ming's back and chest. In another part he had Wu Jin Ming do it himself.

While waiting for Wu Jin Ming to finish soaping his body, Rubby poured shampoo and rubbed Wu Jin Ming's hair. Seeing Rubby struggling and continuing to tiptoe, Wu Jin Ming lowered his fist.

"Rubby, what's this flower made of? It smells good." Wu Jin Ming inhaled the scent of his hair.

"This is not a flower sari. I don't know what I did, nor do I know. I just bought it at the supermarket. There are many different kinds of fragrances," explains Rubby.

Wu Jin Ming nodded. His eyes blinked - snapping because it held the pain. There was a splash of shampoo that went in there.

"You why Brother. Perih, yeah. Then close your eyes now." Rubby turned on the shower and flushed Wu Jin Ming's head. The entire foam shampoo and soap on his body disappeared, all that was left was a fresh fragrant smell.

"Now open your eyes!" rubby said after pressing Wu Jin Ming's face with a towel. Rubby handed the towel over so that Wu Jin Ming would dry his body.

Rubby stuffed Wu Jin Ming's clothes into the washing machine. Before his clothes dried, Rubby told Wu Jin Ming to wear his big t-shirt and training pants. The clothes fit perfectly on Wu Jin Ming's body.

"Sister Tiger." call Rubby while combing his hair in front of the mirror.

"Hm." Wu Jin Ming walked over to Rubby.

"Emm, how about that." Rubby bit his lips while looking at Wu Jin Ming.

"What's Rubby?"

"Sister Tiger, I'm afraid to sleep alone. Doesn't matter if we... Em, that.. We. slept in the same room."

Phewuhh. Wu Jin Ming blew his breath into the air.

"I will meditate until you fall asleep Rubby. After that I have to go back to the dimensional necklace."

"Then what if something happens to me?" Rubby sulking.

"You don't worry. I will continue to guard inside the dimensional necklace. I'll blow the spell in your eyes. The moment your eyes open, I will appear in front of you soon" Wu Jin Ming explained.

"alright. Promise me you won't leave me far" Rubby asked.

"I promise. I'll keep an eye on you from my dimension."

"But you don't go to mediocrity. You sit by me until I fall asleep." Rubby was embarrassed to say that. He was forced because he was really scared and felt lonely.

"All right." Wu Jin Ming followed Rubby who set out to sleep.

After laying down his body and enveloping himself, Rubby tried to close his eyes. Krruuukkkp. The voice from inside Rubby's stomach sounded very loud.

"Rubby, are you hungry?"

Rubby nodded and said that there was no food in the fridge. Wu Jin Ming who was not used to living in the human world in this era was confused. Many new terms and vocabulary he heard from Rubby. Wu Jin Ming thought for a moment. Maybe he should use a little bit of his strength now.

Cling...

Wu Jin Ming's palm took out a pill. The pill could make people resistant to not eating a few days. He took one for Rubby and one for him.

"It's night. I don't know where to look for food in the human world. Eat these pills. It's the same as starch food for a few days." Wu Jin Ming gave it to Rubby.

"I won't die after eating this pill?" what kind of silly question is that.

"Look!" Wu Jin Ming swallowed the same pill he had given Rubby.

"Eat! If I wanted to kill you, I've been doing it since yesterday" Wu Jin Ming explained.

"Yes, yeah." Rubby took a glass of water at his bedside table to flick the pill he swallowed. The pill has no taste. Just a little smell of herbs that are difficult to explain.

"Now sleep!" Wu Jin Ming began to recite the incantation he had blown in Rubby's eyes.

A few seconds Rubby was still awake, until his eyes were very heavy to withstand drowsiness. Rubby's lips put on a smile until he fell asleep and he was still smiling. Wu Jin Ming looked at her for a while before he re-entered into the dimensional necklace.
