Chapter 175
Chapter 175
That morning, after Zhou Ziyou agreed to date, she and Gray Tail, oh no, Hui Ling kissed.
The two shyly kissed for less than half a minute, Gray Tail then turned over, his face flushed as he opened the door and ran out, going to the bathroom.
His back looked so flustered.
Zhou Ziyou's face also turned red, she covered her face and let out a soft "ah" sound, extremely excited. She knew why Gray Tail left, because she had also touched... that area of his...
Oh my goodness!!
It seemed like they had gotten a bit too wild, they had only just started dating yet they...
However, in the following days, Gray Tail seemed to have tasted sweetness, always sticking close to her at home, like a wooden post, not saying a word, just his ears turning redder and redder.
When she was working in her room, Gray Tail would sit silently on the floor of his room, glancing at her from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking, his face turning redder and redder.
When she sat on the sofa, Gray Tail would follow her and sit on the sofa too, no longer sitting on the living room floor. Inching closer and closer, the two ended up kissing before they knew it.
At first, Gray Tail didn't dare to be too proactive, but later on, whenever Zhou Ziyou walked past him, he would pull her over and press her against the wall, kissing her eagerly without delay.
It had been a month since they started dating, and they had no idea how many times they had kissed.
At a café.
"...To be honest, he is quite obedient, but he really is..." Zhou Ziyou looked at Shang Xi across from her, her face flushing with embarrassment, "...Don't think that just because he's only twenty years old, he really is too... lustful! Extremely lustful! Always wanting to kiss me and get intimate! I feel like we're developing too fast."
Zhou Ziyou hadn't talked about her partner for a long time, and when she did, she was this intense, giving her a bit of pressure.
She asked Shang Xi, "Do you think... is it because they're the Wolf Clan and lustful by nature, or are all men the same? Is your partner like that too?"
Shang Xi responded with an "mm" sound, then pulled down the high collar of her sweater to show Zhou Ziyou the marks on her neck, "Ziyou, I think all Wolf Clan members are like that, you shouldn't indulge him too much, they're too good at taking advantage."
Zhou Ziyou let out an "ah" sound, a little startled by the marks on Shang Xi's neck, "This is too excessive, I wouldn't allow Gray Tail to do that, if he dares to disobey, I'll get mad."
Shang Xi smiled wryly, her smile carrying the helpless world-weariness of one who had been through it, "You'll understand when the time comes, they have a thousand faces."
Zhou Ziyou laughed, "Gray Tail isn't that scheming, he's just like a wooden post. The one at your place seems a bit scary to me, I always feel like he has too many tricks up his sleeve, he can try anything, hard or soft, black or white."
Shang Xi looked at this innocent sister and sighed helplessly, finally advising, "No matter how well-behaved Gray Tail is, he's still a wolf, a carnivore, so... just don't let him devour you to the point where there's nothing left."
Zhou Ziyou had no concept of what Shang Xi was saying, she hadn't experienced it before, so she couldn't imagine that much. All she felt now was that living and sharing a room with Gray Tail meant kissing, kissing, kissing all day long. "I just feel like, this development is too rapid, won't it mean we'll break up quickly too?"
Shang Xi paused, "So you're feeling bored already?"
"No, it's not that, I'm not the type to get bored after three days. If we're going to be together, it's best to be for a lifetime. As long as we don't cross any bottom lines, any issues can be discussed. I'm quite satisfied with him, that is, I've started to like him a bit. I'm just worried that we're going a bit too..."
Shang Xi said, "The Wolf Clan only has one partner for life, Gray Tail should be more worried that you'll get bored of him." Her tone became more serious, "Ziyou, being with a Wolf Clan member is a lifetime commitment, you need to think it through carefully."
Zhou Ziyou also turned serious, "I know, I know us humans can marry and divorce, but since I've decided to be with him, I'll be responsible. After all the hardship he's been through, if I were to abandon him, I wouldn't be human."
As she said this, a hint of pity appeared in Zhou Ziyou's eyes, "He's always on high alert, sometimes when I call out at home, he'll instantly rush over, as if danger is always present in his world, even in our home, he has to remain vigilant at all times just to stay alive."
So, one can imagine what kind of life he had lived before.
Gray Tail had it really tough.
He disliked humans, Zhou Ziyou had noticed this. When outside, Gray Tail would never look around, even if the most beautiful woman walked past him, he would act as if he were blind.
He kept his distance from strangers.
He didn't have a single human friend, he never took the initiative to talk or interact with humans, and even if someone tried to strike up a conversation with him, he would act deaf, either not responding or turning and leaving.
It's unclear whether he was wary of humans, loathed them, or... feared them, or perhaps... he had simply lost the ability to interact with humans.
When he was at his weakest, he lived at Zhou Ziyou's, a human's, home against his will, forced to interact with her for over a month. He became familiar with her home, her scent, felt her warmth and kindness.
He had once eaten meat fed to him by a smiling human, and was poisoned, nearly not making it through.
But Zhou Ziyou had fed him so many meals, and he had never been poisoned once.
He had only opened his heart to Zhou Ziyou, this one pure human.
Zhou Ziyou herself had been hurt by her original family, she and Gray Tail were two wounded souls, embracing each other for warmth, cherishing the little happinesses that ordinary children took for granted.
"Are you happy now?" Shang Xi asked.
"Of course." Zhou Ziyou nodded, slowly revealing a smile. "I've never been this happy before, I have a feeling that if I stay with him, I'll experience even greater happiness."
Zhou Ziyou chatted with Shang Xi for a while longer, then headed home.
As soon as she entered, she was pressed against the wall by a figure.
A man's muffled voice sounded in her ear, "You were gone for so long."
As he spoke, he shamelessly brought his lips to hers. Zhou Ziyou turned her head and covered his lips with her hand, "Enough, from today onwards, we can only kiss five times a day."
"No." Gray Tail licked her palm.
"Gray Tail! Are all you Wolf Clan members like this? Kissing non-stop all day long."
"Mm, that's how it is."
"Don't lie to me, thinking I'm naive."
"I'm not lying, it's true." Gray Tail's tone was serious. Seeing Zhou Ziyou's distrustful gaze, he felt a little frustrated, "We really do like kissing and licking a lot, it's how we express our love."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Ziyou, "...We lick and kiss each other."
The implication was that Zhou Ziyou was still complaining about Gray Tail's lack of affection.
Zhou Ziyou was completely bewildered, but after careful thought, she realized that wild animals indeed loved licking affectionately, so... she couldn't blame Gray Tail?
Was this how they went about dating?
"The licking is fine, but I won't agree to... that kind of thing. We've only been dating for a month, you know?"
Gray Tail blushed slightly: "...Yeah, I got it."
"Tomorrow, go meet my friends, okay? They're all werewolves, and they want to see you."
"Sure." Zhou Ziyou nodded agreeably.
The next day.
Meng Lai Mountain Manor, private banquet room.
The Nanfeng Courtyard wolf pack had all arrived, chattering non-stop in a lively atmosphere.
"Gray Tail is so young, yet he already has a wife," Green Tail clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Cyan Tail: "He's a role model for us all!"
Yellow Tail: "I'm so jealous of him, I want to get a girlfriend too, wuwuwu."
Black Tail sighed: "Gray Tail has a wife already, but I'm even more handsome than him. A dashing guy like me is still single, alas!"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Someone hesitantly spoke up: "To be honest, Gray Tail is a bit better looking, right?"
"Yeah... I think so too."
Black Tail: "Can't you just go along with me and comfort my poor soul? The pack leader got a partner, Blue Tail got a partner, Gray Tail got a partner too, and Red Tail also got a partner!"
Speaking of Red Tail, she had just arrived.
"I'm not late, am I? Everyone!" She was surprisingly dressed in a red and white hanfu with an elegant hairstyle and a pretty hairpin, the picture of a sweet young lady.
Behind her followed a bespectacled young man, clean-cut and handsome, tall and slender, smiling lightly at Black Tail and the others: "Hello again."
"Dai Cen, you came too."
Red Tail held Dai Cen's hand, giggling as she walked in: "Haven't Gray Tail and the others arrived yet? Is he reluctant to let us meet his wife?"
Gray Tail brought Zhou Ziyou to the private room ten minutes later.
Zhou Ziyou looked at the group of tall, slender men and women with generally high attractiveness, and greeted them with a nod: "Hello."
She was a little nervous, but then she noticed Dai Cen and immediately sensed that he was a pure human.
Moreover, Dai Cen was wearing a turtleneck sweater.
For some reason, Zhou Ziyou was reminded of Shang Xi's turtleneck sweater...
"Gray Tail! Long time no see!"
"Ziyou, hello!"
"Gray Tail, you sly dog, you already have a partner!"
Amidst the lively chatter, Gray Tail tightly grasped Zhou Ziyou's hand and calmly said, "Why are you all calling me that? My name is Hui Ling."
"What? Gray Tail, you have a human name now?"
"You changed your name?"
Gray Tail's lips curved ever so slightly: "Yeah, my partner gave me a name too."
"Damn!"
"I'm so jealous!"
The wolf pack was a bit envious.
Gray Tail boldly pulled Zhou Ziyou to sit close to him, shamelessly showing off their affection and irritating the single wolves.
Seeing his tribesmen gritting their teeth, the usually gloomy and taciturn Gray Tail smiled, revealing pristine white teeth with prominent canines. His youthful features were deeply curved, making the once sullen young man radiant like the sun.
Zhou Ziyou was captivated.
She thought to herself, she really did snag a handsome boyfriend.
Damn, this guy is seriously good-looking.
Their future kids won't have trouble finding partners.
Heh heh heh, when she gets home, she'll make this guy smile for her, no smiles mean no kissing~
Haha, gotcha~
