She didn't want her family to know about her experiences in Beicheng over the past two years, she didn't want them to know that she was almost married off to the Fang family, almost couldn't go to school, and now she was living with a man ten years older than her.
Although it wasn't exactly living alone with Tang Song, and there was nothing wrong with that, Zhu's parents and Zhu Hong would definitely worry, and she didn't want them to.
Seeing Zhu Hao's rapid sign language gestures, Zhu Hong knew she probably didn't want the man in front of her to know what they were saying, so he didn't speak, but gestured with a tight smile, "How did you meet? Classmates? Impossible, right? He looks much older than you!!"
Zhu Hong gestured faster, his face showing obvious urgency, "Sis! You haven't been scammed by some old man of unknown origin, have you!?"
Zhu Hao's lips twitched as she forced herself to suppress a laugh, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Tang Song's increasingly dark expression.
She didn't know if Tang Song could understand it. Although he was also learning sign language, she and he communicated more often in writing.
The main reason is that she is used to communicating with him in writing and rarely remembers to use sign language.
At this moment, Tang Song stared at Zhu Hong with a gloomy expression.
【What old man?!?! I've only been an adult for five years!! I'm in the prime of my youth!! What do you know, you brat?! I'm just dressed a little maturely!! I should have known better than to wear this suit! If I had worn a t-shirt and casual pants, I'd look younger than you!! I'm so angry! This kid's brother really doesn't know how to talk!!】
Zhu Hao bit her lower lip, her facial muscles trembling with suppressed urges.
So Tang Song is already so familiar with sign language?
Even someone as fast as Zhu Hong could understand it?
Zhu Hong was still gesturing excitedly, "Do you know his background? Do you know where he lives? Do you know how many people are in his family? Do you know his true character and conduct?"
A barrage of questions quickly and forcefully entered Zhu Hao's field of vision.
I hope it's so good it'll leave you speechless.
She knew all of this, but she couldn't say it!
After all, Tang Song's identity is extraordinary!
He's a wolf!
Zhu Hong was still passionately speaking when he suddenly felt his collar tighten again, as if someone was lifting him up by the back of his collar.
Zhu Hong paused for a moment, tugged at his collar, and looked down in confusion, but found nothing unusual.
[Why is my little brother so talkative?! Wasn't he supposed to be aloof? Is this aloof? This is just chatterboxing!! Seriously!! And why is he subtly belittling me in his words?! He's insulting my image in his heart!! That's going too far!!]
[Stop talking!! They've already grabbed your neck! Why are you still talking?!?]
Zhu Hao's eyes trembled slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught Tang Song's raised wrist. She shook her head at him imperceptibly.
Tang Song's eyes grew increasingly deep, his expression unfriendly as he stared at Zhu Hong, but in the end, he still lowered his hand.
[Hmph!! If it weren't for the cub's permission, I would have made you speechless!! Hmph!! The serious, steady, and reliable image I've painstakingly built up in front of the cub, if you were to ruin it like this! I won't let you get away with it!!]
Tang Song hummed softly and turned her head to look to the side.
[Hold on! Hold on! Out of sight, out of mind! Don't stoop to his level! Just pretend I'm blind and can't see anything!]
Zhu Hao chuckled as she snapped out of her daze, noticing that Zhu Hong was still gesturing incessantly, his expression growing increasingly agitated. His once handsome but still somewhat immature features now appeared anxious and worried.
A sigh escaped my lips as I wished him well, a warm feeling washing over me.
She knew Zhu Hong was worried about her, after all, she was deaf and mute, and had been pampered by the Zhu family since she was a child.
Zhu Hao raised his hand and pressed down on Zhu Hong's hands.
Zhu Hong's eyes widened, his excited expression froze for a moment, his gaze fell on the two people's clasped hands, a hint of unease flashed across his face, he quickly withdrew his hand, his lips tightened into a straight line, and he stared at Zhu Hao with serious eyes downcast.
He acted as if he would kick Tang Song out if she didn't give a reasonable explanation.
Zhu Hao forced a smile and slowly raised her hand. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You just got out of class, are you hungry? Mom and Dad have made some food in the kitchen, go eat first?"
After gesturing, Zhu Hao pushed the reluctant Zhu Hong toward the kitchen.
Zhu Hong opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he glanced at the living room filled with all sorts of gifts and Tang Song standing next to the pile of gifts, his face instantly tightened, and he went into the kitchen without saying a word.
Click, the door opened again, and the figures of Zhu's father and mother appeared in the doorway.
Tang Song's tail instantly straightened, and even the tips of his ears stood up.
Zhu Hao, standing at the kitchen door, could hear Tang Song's howling wolf.
【Ah!! Ah!! So suddenly!? The cub's parents are here!! Awoo~】
Zhu Hao paused for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked briskly to the door.
Tang Song swallowed hard, then awkwardly stepped forward and stood beside Zhu Hao, his face stiff and serious.
The eyes of Zhu's parents, which had lit up the moment they saw Zhu Hao, froze on the spot the instant they saw Tang Song.
Zhu's father eyed Tang Song, who was standing behind Zhu Hao, warily.
A white shirt and black suit trousers, the well-fitting fabric exuding nobility, her hair meticulously swept back, radiating an aura of authority, even if she showed a slight hint of unease, she quickly concealed it.
His well-defined features, deep-set eyes, and impeccable attire all spoke volumes about his noble status.
"May I ask who you are...?" Zhu's father stared at Tang Song hesitantly before speaking softly.
Zhu's mother quickly went to Zhu Hao's side, put her arm around her shoulder, and protectively held her in her arms.
"He's my sister's friend!" Before Tang Song could answer, Zhu Hong was already standing at the kitchen door, responding loudly.
Zhu's parents' gazes fell on Zhu Hao, their questioning intent quite clear.
Zhu Hao nodded repeatedly, his face sincere, and gestured with his hand, "Really, he's my friend, his name is Tang Song."
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Zhu Hao's friend, Tang Song." Tang Song nodded slightly and said very politely.
Father Zhu glanced at Zhu Hao, then turned his gaze back to Tang Song.
His face was tense. He didn't say anything, just nodded and walked into the house.
Seeing that Zhu's father didn't say anything, Zhu's mother remained silent, only tightening her grip on Zhu Hao's hand.
Zhu Hong walked out of the kitchen and came to the door.
Apart from Zhu Hao, the three members of the Zhu family stared at Tang Song as if he were an intruder.
I'm drenched in sweat! Do you have to look at me like that?
I just came to see you with my cubs, is it really necessary to treat me like a local and guard me so closely?
When Zhu's parents walked into the living room, they were greeted by a dazzling array of high-end gift boxes, so numerous and varied that it made them dizzy.
Father Zhu looked up, rubbed his temples, and glanced sideways at Tang Song, "These things..."
"I had someone deliver these. There were some more that I didn't bring up because I couldn't fit them all. Then I..." Tang Song quickly explained.
"Wait!" Mother Zhu interrupted him, glancing worriedly at the obedient Zhu Hao in her arms. She hugged her even tighter and said to Tang Song, "We don't need these things. You can take them back."
