With tears welling in her eyes, Zhu's mother looked at the overflowing contents in Zhu Hao's hands, opened her lips, and after a long pause, managed to utter two words, "It's fine."
"Um..." came a cautious voice from the back garden entrance, "May I come in?"
The wolves and the crowd's eyes fell on the doorway.
Geng Ying stood with her hands behind her back, only her head showing, curiously looking at the layout of the back garden.
Her eyes showed shock, then disdain, and finally envy.
【Aww~ Why did this woman bring that dead fox again? Wasn't it agreed that she could come by herself? Will that dead fox die if she doesn't have her by her side for a day?】
Zhu Hao peeked out from behind the little bear with difficulty, her voice rising, "Geng Ying!"
This shout emboldened Geng Ying, who walked straight inside, carrying a takeout bag containing Song Shang's goods.
She quickly walked to Zhu Hao's side, greeted the Zhu family, and then gave Tang Song an apologetic smile, "Today is a special day, let's celebrate together..."
【What the hell are you celebrating?! Who wants that damn fox to celebrate?!】
Tang Song's lips were pursed, and she didn't say anything, only staring intently at the smug Song Shang in her hand.
Zhu Hao stood between the two, blocking their view, and said, "By the way, Song Shang should have finished his medicine, right? We can go to Tang Wu's place today to get another month's supply."
Zhu Hao nodded towards Geng Ying, signaling her to go find Tang Wu quickly.
"Ah...right, right, right." Geng Ying chuckled, "I'm going to find Tang Wu now."
"I'm here!" A clear, youthful voice came from the sky.
Geng Ying looked up and saw Tang Wu standing on the roof. Her lips twitched, and she quickly ran over.
"Hmph." A barely audible snort escaped Tang Song's throat.
Zhu Hao turned to look at him, and with difficulty, freed one hand to tug at his sleeve as a gesture of comfort.
[Hmph! For the sake of the cubs, I'll forgive that stinky fox today!]
[But that doesn't mean I won't dislike it in the future!]
Zhu Hao smiled slightly and tightened his grip on the teddy bear.
She watched Geng Ying's cheerful figure from behind, her gaze falling on the exquisitely dressed takeout bag, and sighed inwardly.
It's unclear when the Song Dynasty will recover.
After taking the medicine, Geng Ying ran away without daring to linger.
at night.
Zhu Hao lay in bed, with her mother sleeping beside her, while her father and Zhu Hong were in a guest room on the third floor.
Zhu Hao's ears were filled with the raucous howls of Tang Song and the earnest admonitions of his mother.
I'm sleepy... but I can't fall asleep.
Life is tough... but I'm happy.
Zhu Hao lay on her side, holding her mother's arm, and gently shook it. "I know, Mom. Go to sleep now."
"Sigh...you child..." Mother Zhu's tone was full of worry, "Before I knew Tang Song's true identity, I was already worried about the gap between you and him. Now that I know Tang Song is a wolf, I'm even more worried. Although I'm not saying I'll stop you two, but..."
"Mom..." Zhu Hao propped herself up and turned on the bedside lamp. "I haven't even asked yet, when did you find out that Tang Song was a wolf?"
Zhu's mother paused for a moment, "The first time Tang Song came to our house was the night he climbed through the window while drunk."
"So early?"
"But at that time only Zhu Hong knew. Your father and I didn't know. Zhu Hong told us later."
How did Zhu Hong know?
As soon as Zhu Hao asked the question, she remembered that Tang Song and Zhu Hong had slept together in the living room that night.
Given how drunk Tang Song was that night, it would be hard for Zhu Hong not to know.
Zhu Hao recalled the money Zhu Hong had thrown to her when she left that time, and her eyes welled up with tears, her heart warming.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Zhu's mother frowned, tenderly wiping her eyes. "Mom isn't against you, I'm just a little worried. After all, we're not even the same race anymore... this..."
"Pfft..." Zhu Hao burst out laughing, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
She buried herself in her mother's arms, snuggling against her mother like she did when she was a child, her voice sweet and affectionate, like a child pleading, "Mom... I love you, I love Dad, and I love Zhu Hong..."
Mother Zhu was at a loss for words at her appearance. She raised her hand and gently stroked her head, patting it softly, "Mom knows... I know everything..."
Zhu Hao could hear her mother's strong heartbeat and Tang Song's squawking like a screaming chicken.
The morning sunlight was exceptionally bright, as if heralding a vast future.
When Zhu Hao woke up, her mother was no longer beside her.
She hugged the pillow her mother had slept on last night, buried her face in it and rubbed against it, then suddenly looked up at the teddy bear on the bedside table, a smile playing on her lips, and patted the teddy bear's hand, "Good morning!"
Zhu Hao threw back the covers, not wearing slippers, and walked around the room greeting all the cute and adorable dolls.
The dolls were the ones that Tang Song had set up at the proposal scene last night. Before going to bed, Tang Song moved all the dolls to her room.
The dolls circled the walls of her room, making her feel like a princess in a fairy tale—it all felt unreal, like a dream.
After washing up and changing my clothes, I went downstairs.
"Aaaaah!!! Teacher Tang!! What happened to the ice cream you promised me!?" Xiaoxue's pleading voice echoed throughout the living room.
A workbook suddenly flew past my eyes.
"Ahhh!! I'm not writing anymore! I can't write anymore! It's too hard! I'm clearly a wolf! Why do I have to learn math?! Waaah!!" Xiaoyan's devastating voice echoed in Zhuhao's ears.
She lowered her eyes, staring at the math workbook at her feet, bent down to pick it up, and casually flipped through it.
It was all big red crosses.
"Zhuhao's awake!" Xiaoyan was the first to notice her, then exclaimed in horror, "Zhuhao can't look! It's too embarrassing!"
A red shadow flashed before Zhu Hao's eyes, and the exercise book in his hand was gone, along with Xiao Yan.
She blinked, feeling that the fleeting, dreamlike sensation she had felt earlier had been completely washed away.
Teacher Tang, carrying the prepared breakfast, glanced at Zhu Hao and happily beckoned her to come down.
The wolves and people are all on the table.
The father and mother huddled together uncomfortably, forced to endure the wolves' enthusiasm.
"Eat this! It's delicious!"
"Trust me! Master Tang's little cake is absolutely delicious! Humans will definitely love it!"
"No, no, no, eat what I give you first!"
"No! First me!!"
"..."
"Ahem..." Tang Song coughed lightly, glared at the pack of wolves that were almost touching Zhu's father, and warned, "Sit still!"
[Damn it! What kind of behavior is this?! This will make the cubs' parents think I'm a terrible parent!! Awooo!!]
Zhu Hao stuffed a mouthful of pancake into his mouth, blinked, and stared at the restless wolf pack.
Isn't that how wolf packs have always been?
Tang Song wasn't this strict before, was he?
Moreover...
She glanced again at Zhu's parents, who were already happily eating and completely blending in with the wolf pack.
It seems her parents have adapted well to their interactions with the wolves.
"Oh, right," Zhu Hao said, placing a meat bun on her mother's plate, "Where's Zhu Hong?"
“They’ve already started their extra classes,” Tang Song interjected. “They went to school early this morning.”
Nod in best wishes.
"Why aren't you wearing a ring?" Tang Song stared at Zhu Hao's bare fingers.
