"Not only that, Yi Yi is now very good at everything she does. I remember when the baby was first born, she was often at her wits' end because of the baby's crying, and even cried with the baby. But these past few days, she has taken good care of the baby and arranged everything properly. I have rarely heard the baby cry."

It's understandable for a person to grow over a long period of time, but such rapid growth is truly astonishing.

Ouyang looked at him as if he were a monster, probably thinking that his complaints were completely unreasonable.

"Old Mu, are you sure you're complaining to me, and not showing off?"

Mu Nanxun: "..."

"You should be content with such a perfect wife, why are you complaining? Now, she manages the household perfectly, takes good care of you, and you don't have to worry about anything. You can do whatever you want, eat whatever you want, this is what so many men dream of, you should be secretly happy!"

"But this version of Yi Yi feels unfamiliar to me. I feel that she is not the same as she used to be."

Actually, there was one more thing Mu Nanxun didn't say: he felt that Ouyang wasn't the same Ouyang he used to be.

Ouyang waved his hand dismissively, thinking that Mu Nanxun was simply being ungrateful. "Old Mu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're just being a masochist, you know? Oh, you like someone when they're not doing well here or there, but you stop liking them when they become more perfect than before. Don't let Yi Yi hear you say that, or she'll be upset."

Mu Nanxun sighed softly. This was precisely where he was in a dilemma. Of course, if he had known Ouyang was thinking this way, he shouldn't have come to him in the first place.

Just then, Mu Nanxun faintly heard the howling of wolves in the distance. He couldn't hear it clearly and wondered if he had misheard.

This is the city center, where would a wolf come from?

"Ouyang, did you hear...?" Mu Nanxun couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear the sound of wolves howling?"

Actually, this wasn't the first time he'd heard a wolf howl. Just last night, he seemed to have heard it in his sleep as well. But at the time, he thought he was just too tired and had misheard, or was hallucinating, so he didn't bother to investigate further.

Now, I can't believe I'm hearing that voice again.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang listened carefully for a while, then stared at him with a puzzled look and shook her head. "No, this is Fengqing Waterfront, in the city. How could there be wolves here? What are you thinking?"

Yes, how could there be wolves?

The wolf howls gradually faded away.

"Could it be your cat barking and you're just imagining things?"

Ouyang took a sip of hot tea, a look of considerable satisfaction on his face.

Mu Nanxun remained noncommittal; he could distinguish between the sounds of a lion and a wolf. Whether the sound he had just heard was real or not, he was certain it was a wolf howl.

He put down his teacup, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Ouyang quickly pulled him back, "Where are you going, Lao Mu? You haven't finished your tea yet. If you don't like this variety, I'll get you another one."

"No need, you can drink it yourself."

Mu Nanxun left without looking back, feeling incredibly suppressed even in front of her best friend for the first time.

Back home, Yi Yi was happily playing with her child. Guo Guo looked around curiously with wide eyes, and when she saw Mu Nanxun, she smiled broadly.
