[What does "little one" mean?! Does she want me to sleep in her bed?!?!?!]
Is this a bad idea?
Zhu Hao blushed, but her hand stubbornly tugged at the hem of his clothes.
After what happened to Song Shang tonight, she was really afraid to be alone in this room.
The thought that Tang Song would leave after she fell asleep kept her completely awake.
She wanted him to stay with her, to stay with her forever.
Zhu Hao moved further into the bed, and Tang Song's clothes were pulled even more.
[The cub won't let go!! Does it really want me to go to bed with it?]
But...but...
Oh dear! I've read in parenting books that when babies lack a sense of security, it's best to hold them to sleep at night, which seems quite normal!
Yes! That's normal!
Zhu Hao's eyes trembled slightly as she stared at the tip of his happily wagging tail. She rubbed her fingertips together and pulled him even harder.
He clearly wanted to come up, so why did he make so many excuses?
Exactly! Exactly! It's perfectly normal!
Tang Song's lips were tight, and his ears were unnaturally red as he carefully got into bed.
Zhu Hao suddenly buried herself in his arms and took a deep breath.
The refreshing scent of oranges gradually calmed her trembling heart.
Tang Song lowered his eyes and stared at the top of the girl's head in his arms, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his whole body stiff.
[The cub wants a hug! Hurry up and hug it! What are you standing there for?!?]
[The cub must still be scared! Stop talking! Talk to it! Comfort it! Where did all the parenting advice I read go?!]
Zhu Hao gently rubbed against his pajamas, closed her eyes, smiled, and tightened her grip on him.
Just as she was falling asleep, she vaguely felt a heavy pressure on her waist, making it hard for her to breathe.
She groaned uncomfortably as the heavy weight on her waist, like a boulder, was instantly removed.
[Stop holding me so tight! Why are you hugging me so tightly?! See? You're going to wake the cubs!]
No hugging! No! Hug gently!
【besides……】
Zhu Hao completely lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
The startling howls of wolves around me seemed to have become a soothing lullaby.
In the early morning, sunlight streams through the window, casting a neat parallelogram shape into the room.
Zhu Hao's eyes trembled slightly as she slowly opened them.
What catches the eye is a chest with fair skin and smooth lines that are dazzling.
Zhu Hao swallowed hard, then suddenly stood up, his cheeks flushed red.
[Huh? The cub's awake? Why are you so excited? Are you still scared?]
Tang Song stood up with a worried look on her face and leaned closer to Zhu Hao, "Are you alright?"
The magnified handsome face appeared before Zhu Hao's eyes, making her heart skip a beat.
She quickly swept her hair down to cover her face and shook her head, then got out of bed and nimbly ran into the bathroom.
[Hmm? The cub's face is so red, is it sick? Has it had a fever? Was it frightened last night? Is that why it's sick!?]
[Let's have Tang Wu take a look!]
Tang Song threw back the covers, and a tingling, numb sensation instantly shot through his arm. "Hiss..."
Zhu Hao pushed open the bathroom door and came out, a toothbrush still in her mouth, looking around the room with a horrified expression.
She visibly relaxed after meeting Tang Song's gaze.
Before she could even put down her toothbrush, she went straight to Tang Song.
Fearing she might be a step too late, Tang Song went directly to call Tang Wu.
Being shy and blushing is considered a sign of illness, and once or twice is enough.
She really didn't want to die anymore.
Tang Song remained seated on the edge of the bed, motionless.
[Help! My hand is numb! I can't feel it!]
No more cramps allowed!!
Zhu Hao paused, staring at his arm hidden at his side, and understood after a moment of surprise.
Last night before she went to sleep, she felt Tang Song hug her, but his arms were too heavy and made her uncomfortable.
Tang Song held her loosely like that all night; no wonder his hands went numb!
Zhu Hao stood in front of him, bent down and took his hand.
【Aaaaaah!! It's numb! It's numb! It's numb!】
Zhu Hao paused for a moment, then gently massaged his arm with her fingertips, from top to bottom, with very light pressure.
[Hmm? How did the cub know my hand was numb? But pressing it like this feels pretty good!]
[It's not so bad anymore! Aww~ The cub is so amazing.]
Zhu Hao caught a glimpse of Tang Song's tail, which was curled into a little heart shape, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. She then moved her hands even more gently.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
Tang Song's eyes sharpened, his dark pupils fixed on the door panel.
Zhu Hao realized a wolf was coming, withdrew his hand, and continued brushing his teeth.
"Wolf Lord?" A very soft voice came from outside the door, as if afraid of disturbing the two people inside.
[Ugh! What?! Why did you have to come and bother me at this time?!]
"Wolf Lord..." someone called out softly again from outside the door when there was no response from inside.
Tang Song got up and walked towards the door.
Whoosh!
The door suddenly opened.
The wolves at the door, which had been stacked like a game of Jenga, all collapsed to the ground at once.
Tang Wu, who was pressed to the bottom, protested, "Get up! Get up! My old bones!!"
Tang Miao and Tang Chuyi quickly helped the wolf cubs who had fallen to the ground to their feet and looked at Tang Song awkwardly.
Tang Song stared at the wolves with a gloomy expression. "What is it?"
"Um..." Tang Miao pointed to the floor, "That thing the Wolf Lord brought last night is still locked in the basement, what should we do with it?"
As soon as Tang Miao finished speaking, the scene she had seen in the basement earlier flashed into her mind, and she shuddered awkwardly.
The man was filthy, unrecognizable, with his hair stained with unknown liquids of yellow, red, and black, and he emitted a strange, nauseating odor.
She felt that the basement where that person had stayed was no longer worth keeping; it stank horribly!
"What is that?" Zhu Hao asked, gesturing with her little head out after washing up.
Did something happen last night that she doesn't know about?
Is that thing in the basement the tiger?
Tang Song frowned, clicked his tongue impatiently, and then, realizing that Zhu Hao was beside him, immediately composed himself.
【Ugh! What a hassle! That wretched woman had to wake up at that exact moment, saw me fighting that tiger, and even heard us talking. She's human, so I can't just kill her; I have to erase her memory.】
Zhu Hao was taken aback and tilted her head to look at Tang Song.
"I need to take care of something, you..." Tang Song frowned, looking conflicted.
【Ugh! This is so annoying!! I don't want to leave the cub alone, but I don't want to take the cub with me when I go to deal with that nasty woman, it'll scare the cub!!】
Zhu Hao pulled his head back in and prepared to go back to his room.
After a night, she had calmed down, and Tang Song no longer needed to stay with her all the time.
After all, he had many important things to do and couldn't possibly stay by her side forever.
She had only taken half a step back when she felt an immense force on her wrist.
Zhu Hao's mind went blank for a moment, and then she snuggled into Tang Song's arms.
He lifted her up with one hand, like he would hold a baby.
[No! No! I must keep the cub with me! I can't let the cub leave me again! Song Shang was able to break into the manor last night, so anyone else could too. I'm not comfortable with that. I'll feel safer carrying the cub with me!]
Best wishes: "?"
