Chapter 44 Do you like Uncle Gu?

"So close!"

Undeterred, she picked it up again and continued practicing.

Just when she was about to give up, she finally hit the bullseye, though not the bullseye.

"Uncle, uncle, I won!"

"Yes, that's great, keep it up."

"Okay!" This time she was full of confidence.

The little snake scurried around the training room, while the little wolf obediently lay down to the side and waited for her.

Yuanyuan was squinting and aiming at the bullseye when she heard the howl of a wolf cub behind her. She turned around and saw...

The little snake was coiled around the horizontal bar of the training equipment, its tail swishing back and forth, making a "snap snap" sound as it hit the training ropes hanging on it, and occasionally flicking its tongue, having a great time.

"Little snake, stop spitting!"

She was worried that the snake's saliva might be poisonous, but she herself would be fine.

It would be troublesome if someone else were to get into trouble.

The system said that this snake's venom is among the most venomous of the world's top ten snakes.

Yuanyuan called out, but the little guy pretended not to hear her, wagged its tail and slid down, crawled out along the corner of the wall, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped itself around the doorknob. Its transparent little wings flapped, startling Lu Yuan who came over to take a look.

"Oh dear! How did this little thing get here!" Lu Yuan jumped back a step, pointing at the small snake on the doorknob.

"Yuanyuan, if it doesn't come down soon, no one will dare to open the door."

Yuanyuan put down the gun, walked over and reached out to grab it. The little snake hissed twice, and just as she was about to touch it, it slithered to the window frame of the training room and tilted its head to look at her.

"..."

Yuanyuan put her hands on her hips and said, "Little snake, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Lu Yuan: "..."

No way, if you don't take care of it, the snake will become the dominant force.

Seeing that the little snake was still not moving, Yuanyuan ran to the little wolf's side.

"The little wolf is still the best behaved."

"Awoo~" The little wolf jumped into her arms and acted cute.

The little snake, seeing the little wolf rubbing against Yuanyuan's arms, immediately became restless.

"Hiss!"

With a flick of its tail, it slid down from the window frame and pounced at lightning speed, wrapping its arms around Yuanyuan's other arm. It buried its head in Yuanyuan's chest and tried to pull the wolf's paws off with the tip of its tail.

"Didn't you disobey me?"

Yuanyuan snorted and pulled it down, "Don't hang it up, and don't hug me."

"Hiss..." The little snake crawled up her trouser leg.

He snuggled into her arms once again.

The wolf didn't hold back and slapped it with its paw, while the snake, not to be outdone, raised its head and flicked its tongue at it.

It had the air of "I'll bite you if you stretch out your claws again."

Yuanyuan: "..."

"Yuanyuan, come over here for training," Gu Zheng called out.

"Okay, Uncle, I'll be right there."

Yuanyuan stroked the head of the little wolf in her arms, then pinched the tail of the little snake on her arm:

"Sweetie, I'll play with you guys after I finish practicing."

Before she could even move her hand away, the little snake coiled around her, its head rubbing against her wrist and hissing.

"No naughtiness, no running around."

"Hiss!"

Lu Yuan walked over with a training gun, smiled and tapped Yuan Yuan on the shoulder: "If you keep coaxing her like this, we won't be able to finish shooting all the targets today."

Yuanyuan had no choice but to put the wolf cub on the ground and take the snake off and put it aside: "Be good."

Yuanyuan picked up the training gun, aimed at the bullseye, adjusted her breathing, and gently pulled the trigger with her finger.

"Bang bang bang!"

His marksmanship is getting more and more accurate. Although he doesn't hit the bullseye, at least he doesn't miss.

The little wolf obediently lay on the ground, its front paws stacked together, its head resting on its paws, its eyes fixed on Yuanyuan's small figure.

When Yuanyuan fires the gun, it wags its tail.

"Take a break, we've practiced enough for today."

Gu Zheng walked over, handed her a bottle of warm water, and helped her wipe her sweat.

Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

After gulping down the water, it ran to the little wolf's side.

"The little wolf is so good!"

She reached out and touched the little wolf's head, and the little wolf immediately rubbed against her palm.

"Hiss?"

Yuanyuan stretched out a finger and tapped its head, "The little snake is good too."

The little snake coiled around Yuanyuan's wrist, its tongue entwined around her fingers, trying to please her.

Yuanyuan smiled and poked its little head: "Don't cause trouble next time, or I won't take you out to play!"

"Hiss!"

It didn't cause any trouble.

Are you tired?

Lu Yuan leaned against the training equipment and asked with a smile.

"Not tired."

"Uncle Gu, I want to see my mom." Yuanyuan looked up at Gu Zheng. "I want to see my mom. I wonder if she ate more today, and if her wound hurts."

"Go eat first, and we'll arrange for you to go over afterwards."

"I'm not hungry."

As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach started growling honestly.

"..."

"I want to eat with my mom."

Gu Zheng sighed and rubbed her head: "What a stubborn girl."

"Come on, I'll take you to see your mother, and we can grab a bite to eat on the way."

"good."

This time, Lu Yuan didn't go; Yuan Yuan followed Gu Zheng on a private plane to the Beijing Municipal Hospital.

She was eating a small cake prepared for her by the kitchen on the plane, a little snake wrapped around her wrist with its eyes half-closed, and a little wolf lying beside her watching her eat.

………

When Gu Zheng brought Yuanyuan into the ward, Xia Zhiyun was leaning against the headboard drinking porridge. The moment she saw him, the spoon in her hand slammed into the bowl with a "clatter," spilling a lot of porridge onto the blanket.

She forgot to wipe it off; yesterday her attention was entirely on her baby, and she didn't even notice what he looked like.

Now, looking at her, she was completely frozen.

He subconsciously lowered his head, clutching the blanket nervously, his breathing becoming erratic.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?"

"I, Mom is fine."

"How are you feeling today?" Gu Zheng put Yuanyuan down and asked in a natural tone, not noticing her unusual behavior.

Xia Zhiyun composed herself and hurriedly nodded, "It's...it's alright. Thank you for bringing Yuanyuan here."

She didn't dare to meet Gu Zheng's gaze, quickly glancing at him before turning to Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, are you tired?"

“She trained really hard today. I’ll go get the caregiver to take care of her. Don’t move yet.”

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the ward, gently closing the door behind him.

As soon as the door closed, Yuanyuan rushed to her mother's side, "Mom, are you still in pain?"

"It's okay, Mommy doesn't hurt."

Xia Zhiyun took Yuanyuan's hand and carefully examined Yuanyuan's little face. "Yuanyuan, tell Mommy what that uncle's name was?"

"Is Mom talking about Uncle Gu?"

"Um."

"Just call him Uncle Gu."

"..."

How did you two meet?

Yuanyuan was a little confused as to why her mother would ask that, but she answered anyway.

"He's the Uncle Gu who brought me back from the forest, the one I told you about yesterday. He's such a nice guy."

Do you like Uncle Gu?

Yuanyuan lay on the edge of the bed and rubbed against her mother's hand. "I love it! Uncle Gu is so good to me. He takes care of my mom, teaches me how to shoot, and buys me delicious food!"

She paused, then added, "The little wolf and the little snake also like him. The little snake never gets close to strangers, but he lets Uncle Gu pat his head!"

Xia Zhiyun listened, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

She raised her hand and touched Yuanyuan's hair, her fingertips trembling slightly.
