[Huh? What's the cub laughing at? Looks like it's really not afraid of wolves, hahaha~]
Tang Song turned around, put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and gave the wolf pack an order: "Go back to your villas. Those living in this one, stay."
Zhu Hao watched as the wolves, who had been huddled together, reluctantly dispersed. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Tang Song's sarcastic voice.
[What are you looking at?! My cubs!! If you want cubs, go have them yourself, why are you always staring at mine?! So annoying!! And they don't even restrain their aura, it's all clinging to my cubs!! Usually they'd love to run around outside for a month without coming home, now they want to live in the manor, so annoying! So annoying!]
Zhu Hao watched helplessly as the group gradually dispersed, leaving only a few standing in the living room.
The three wolf cubs were also there.
Her slightly tense mood finally relaxed a little.
*
Zhu Hao sat in the pavilion in the backyard, looking at the three wolf cubs at the table.
Tang Song said he had something to take care of and told her to play with the children.
She also heard his satisfied thoughts.
Young cubs should play together; this promotes group unity and makes them easier to care for.
Zhu Hao really wants to refute this, she's not a cub!
But when she thought of the real-life wolf cub she had seen in the bedroom, her heart stirred, and she agreed.
At this moment, she looked at the three adorable cubs, whose ears were so tender that they seemed to blush and bleed if touched.
Oh my god!
She's so cute!
"Hello! My name is Xiaoye, and I'm nine years old!" The little boy who had been tugging at her clothes earlier politely extended his hand and introduced himself to her, mimicking human etiquette.
Zhu Hao nodded curiously and gently took his little hand.
She didn't have time to look at them while she was in the villa, but now she's taking a good look at them.
Xiao Ye's ears are quite unique; her left ear is black, and her right ear is white.
"My name is Xiaoyan, and I'm five years old." The girl with red and white ears also reached out her hand.
Zhu Hao's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter as he carefully shook her hand.
The youngest girl cried out anxiously, "Me! Me! My name is Xiaoxue, and I'm three years old!"
Xiaoxue's ears are white, with only the tips being red, making her look like a little fox.
Zhu Hao nodded with a smile.
She also wanted to introduce herself, so she quickly took out her phone to type out her name.
She had just pressed a letter when she suddenly froze.
He looked up at the three children in front of him.
The oldest is nine years old, and the youngest is only three years old.
Even human children of this age may not be able to recognize all the words, let alone wolf cubs.
She opened her mouth, but only managed a dry, silent "ah".
He then lowered his eyes in disappointment, staring at the phone in his hand with the screen off.
My arm was poked by a small hand.
Best wishes, look up.
"You can write for me." The little boy named Xiaoye magically pulled a notebook and pencil from his pocket. "I can read."
He saw Zhu Hao just about to type on her phone, but then, for some reason, she turned it off.
He remembered that his wolf uncle had just told him that this human cub couldn't speak or hear, and that they should communicate through writing, so he should bring his homework book.
He specifically brought out the newest one! And it came in handy!
Zhu Hao blinked, stared at the exercise book in front of him with three corners missing from it, and hesitantly took it.
Upon opening it, the aroma of spicy strips wafts out.
Best wishes: ...
She picked up the nib that had been chewed to pieces and began to write neatly.
"Best wishes, my name."
Xiao Ye leaned closer and softly uttered the two words, very solemnly, "Best wishes~"
"Best wishes~ Best wishes~" Xiaoxue kept repeating, as if trying to remember the name.
Xiaoyan also recited along.
Best wishes, best wishes, I wish you well.
Every time your name is called, it's a wish for your well-being.
It was the name her adoptive parents gave her; they weren't very educated, but it was full of love and hope.
Looking at the three little ones' earnest expressions, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
They knew she was deaf and mute, but there was no disgust in their eyes, not even curiosity.
It's as if she's perfectly normal, a normal person, nothing strange about her.
She also noticed that when the three wolf cubs spoke to her earlier, they deliberately slowed down so that she could read their lips.
Just as considerate as Tang Song.
This touched her heart, making her want to pet the wolf cub even more.
She carefully wrote in her notebook, "May I touch your ears? They look so cute."
After Xiao Ye finished reading, the ears of the black and white mandarin ducks instantly turned red with blood.
He covered his ears with both hands, quickly stepped back, and his face turned bright red.
His face tense, he shook his head seriously, "No!"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhu Hao's eyes. He thought her request had offended him, and he looked apologetic, wanting to write an apology.
Xiao Yan suddenly blurted out, "Only partners can touch ears! You can't touch Xiao Ye's ears, but you can touch mine."
Zhu Hao was stunned for a moment and before she could react, Xiao Yan's head lifted her hand and moved it to her red and white ear.
It's fluffy and soft!
"Don't rub it! Don't rub it!" Xiaoyan's face turned red, and she covered her ears and dodged away.
Zhu Hao rubbed his fingertips together, looking somewhat innocent.
She didn't rub it; she just withdrew her fingertips.
But she still looked at Xiaoyan with an apologetic expression.
Xiaoxue moved closer to her and took her hand with a curious expression.
This time, after offering his blessing, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Xiaoxue is too young to understand.
But she could tell from Xiaoyan and Xiaoye's behavior.
Their ears must be very sensitive; you can't just touch them randomly.
I guess the tail is too.
Otherwise, Xiao Ye wouldn't be so nervous that it curls its tail into a ball and shrinks back.
She turned to a new page and began writing quickly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you can't touch your ears. Could you tell me more about the taboos of wolves? I'll pay attention next time."
Xiao Ye stood far away, and after reading that sentence, her tense body relaxed.
He and Xiaoyan scurried over to her side, chattering away like old-fashioned lotus lanterns stuck on a birthday cake.
Her little mouth was chattering away, making Zhu Hao's eyes dazzled.
Xiao Ye: "The ears and tail have many blood vessels and are very sensitive. Only during the mating season can a mate touch them. No one else can touch them at other times! Not even parents!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Not even the tail!"
"And there's more..."
"I hope you listen to me..."
"..."
Half an hour later, Zhu Hao raised his hands and carefully gestured for silence to the two guardians on his left and right.
The two old-fashioned lotus lanterns finally fell silent.
There was too much information; she couldn't remember it all, and it even hurt her eyes.
They talked about all of this, describing their usual wolf lifestyle.
He was talking incoherently, without any logic, and kept coming up with a question every now and then.
She paused, perhaps this was a good opportunity to ask the question that had been lingering with Tang Song for so long.
