"Ugh, what are you saying..."

Yi blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

"I just heard a sound, did you hear it?" Mu Nanxun asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi felt inexplicably nervous. "The sound... Is Guo Guo awake? She hasn't been sleeping well lately. I'll go check on her..."

"No..." Mu Nanxun rested his chin on Yi Yi's head, "It wasn't Guoguo, she's sleeping soundly. I just... heard the howling of wolves, didn't you hear it just now?"

Yi Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it wasn't Guo Guo. She listened for a moment and then shook her head.

"No, I didn't hear any wolf howls at all."

Sure enough, Yi Yi didn't hear it either. Throughout the entire villa, apart from the occasional wolf howl he heard, it seemed that no one else had ever heard it.

Could it be that he has a problem and is experiencing auditory hallucinations?

But he felt that the voice was so real.

"Mumu, were you dreaming just now? That's why you thought you heard wolves howling. Wolves usually only appear in the wild, they definitely wouldn't be here. Don't overthink it, go to sleep."

Yi yawned and lay down to continue sleeping.

For some reason, Mu Nanxun couldn't fall asleep.

"You go to sleep, I want to go to the study for a while."

Mu Nanxun was about to get out of bed when the woman beside him grabbed his waist, her soft little hands entwining around him.

"No, don't go to the study, I'm scared to be alone. If you can't sleep, then... then..."

The woman's shy voice grew softer and softer as she nuzzled her head against his back.

Yi Yi rarely takes the initiative, but once she does, Mu Nanxun is powerless to resist.

He didn't care about the wolf howls, the study, or whether it was real or fake. He turned around, leaned down, and pressed the woman down, showering her with a storm of kisses...

...

As the passion subsided, Yi Yi drifted off to sleep in the bed.

Mu Nanxun lay beside her, looking at her face, which was still the same as yesterday, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Everything before him seemed so perfect, flawless. So why couldn't he feel happy?

He still went to the study.

There was today's newspaper in the study. He glanced through it and found no major news. The few news items that did appear were all positive stories about good people and good deeds.

This has been going on for so many days in a row; it's highly unusual.

Mu Nanxun threw down the newspaper, sat down in the chair in the study, frowned, and felt more tired than ever before.

"Awoo..."

Just then, he heard the howling of wolves coming from afar.

At the same time, an image suddenly flashed into his mind: a basement, a pack of wolves...

My head hurts, it feels like it's going to explode.

He decided to go and see for himself.

Mu Nanxun hurriedly put on his coat and followed the sound of the wolf out of the room.

It was quiet outside the villa, save for the occasional faint howl of wolves. He clutched a dagger in his hand, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness of the night.

He clearly heard the wolf howling, but why couldn't the others in the villa hear it? It's possible they didn't hear it once or twice, but how could they not hear it after three or four times?

What's even stranger is that every time the wolf howls, fragments of memories flash through his mind.
