This was the first time Tang Song had said those words to her face.
It is not a heartfelt statement, nor is it relayed by someone else, nor is it a vague or ambiguous expression.
It is straightforward, direct, and without any concealment.
When Tang Song met her dark, round eyes, he realized what he had said, and his face stiffened unbearably.
【Aaaaaah! Oh my god! You jerk! What did you say?! Help me! Help me!】
How could I have so carelessly blurted out something so important?! I want to kill myself for that!
Zhu Hao's eyes trembled slightly as she glanced at the wolf ears standing up in anger on his head. She boldly reached out and gently brushed the tips of his ears.
The wolf's ears trembled rapidly, instantly turning red and congested with blood.
"Okay." Zhu Hao replied softly, withdrawing her hand and holding a piece of wall debris. "There's something dirty on your head, let me take it off for you."
Tang Song stared blankly at the tiny, almost invisible fragment on her fingertip.
【Aaaaaah!!! My ears!! My ears!! The cub touched them!! She did it on purpose!! Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~】
Zhu Hao rubbed his fingertips together, a faint smile playing on his lips. "We're home, Tang Song."
"Okay, let's go home." Tang Song murmured in response, his tail spinning and jumping excitedly, shaking off the dust from his tail fur only to have it stick back on.

Breaking news: Fang Ling, the female lead of the youth idol drama "Our Little Happiness," is suspected of being involved in a serious kidnapping case and has been arrested. The production team has not yet responded regarding whether they will replace her, but this incident has already affected the filming schedule. It is also reported that the male lead, Song Shang, has been missing for several days. There were previous rumors that Song Shang had moved in with his girlfriend and would no longer be active in the entertainment industry…
The sound of news reports on TV made Geng Ying stop. She put down the cat bowl she was holding and took out her phone to browse the related news.
After reading it, she immediately called Zhu Hao, but no one answered. So she called Tang Song instead.
"Hello? Geng Ying." Zhu Hao's clear voice came through the receiver.
Geng Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you alright?"
"It's okay."
"I saw the news. Fang Ling was involved in a kidnapping case. Even though the photos of the scene were blurred, I still recognized you. Are you alright?"
"No."
"That's good. Wasn't she in a mental hospital? How did she escape? Why did she suddenly kidnap you?"
"Let's talk about the specifics when we meet later." Zhu Hao lowered her eyes with a troubled expression, staring at her five fingers that had been forcibly spread apart. Tang Song's slender knuckles slid in forcefully and quickly, and their ten fingers interlocked.
The most spectacular wolf howls filled my ears.
[Awooo~ Awooo~ Hehe! I just said the cub is the future Wolf Lord's wife, and she didn't refute it, hehe! That means she agrees!!]
[Wow! Good talk! I should have said so sooner!! Hahaha!]
[The cub wants to date, and I'm practically a perfect match for him!]
[I'm strong, handsome, and I dote on my cubs. Whether in the human world or among wolves, I'm number one! Awoooooo~]
[Hehehe! The cub just wants to date me! Hehehe! She wants to breed with me, hehe! Hehe!]
【Woohoo! I'm so happy!】
【Awooo!!】
Zhu Hao's lips twitched, and he could no longer hear Geng Ying's questions; all he could hear was the howling of wolves along the winding mountain road.
She hung up the phone and moved her fingertips.
The long, black, furry tail cautiously approached their intertwined hands, its tip tentatively brushing against the back of her hand.
It was itchy, soft, and warmer than her.
Zhu Hao couldn't resist making a move.
"Feeling unwell? Or uncomfortable?" Tang Song's voice was slightly tense, his eyes fixed on Zhu Hao without blinking.
【Awooo!! Doesn't the cub want to hold hands?】
Zhu Hao paused, then gently shook his head. "No."
"Hmm." Tang Song responded coldly, but the tip of his tail was already red.
Yes, the tip of its black tail has turned red...
On the other end of the line, Geng Ying, whose call had been disconnected, stared worriedly at the black screen.
She scrolled through the browser page, repeatedly typing "Song Shang" into the search box, then deleting it.
After several attempts, she still searched for news related to Song Shang.
The screen was filled with reports of Song Shang's disappearance, as well as videos of Song Shang's agent being surrounded and interrogated by stalkers.
Geng Ying's brows furrowed. She opened her contacts, intending to call Song Shang, but then suddenly realized that she didn't have his contact information.
She paused, took a deep breath, put away her phone, took out cat food from her room, and prepared to feed the stray cats downstairs.
Ring ring!
My phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
Geng Ying pressed the answer button.
"Woof woof woof!" A chaotic and panicked barking came from inside.
Geng Ying was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a prank call, and was about to hang up when suddenly the image of a Samoyed flashed through her mind.
She asked tentatively, "Is it Wangcai?"
"Woof woof woof!"
She couldn't possibly understand dog barks. "If it's Wangcai, be quiet for three seconds; if it's not, keep barking three times."
An eerie silence fell over the other end of the phone.
One, two, three, exactly three seconds.
"Woof woof woof!"
Geng Ying felt a moment of panic. "Something happened to Song Shang? If so, be quiet for three seconds."
Another three seconds passed.
"Wait for me!"
Geng Ying rushed out without even changing her shoes.

Upon returning home that day, Tang Qiao was immediately punished and died before she could even defend herself.
The body was thrown into a poisonous cave in the back mountain; it was not a complete corpse.
Without the wolf pleading for her, everyone thought that Tang Qiao had brought this upon herself.
Only Tang Yue remained silent for three days.
Three days later, Tang Yue went to the cave behind the mountain. Standing at the entrance, he looked at the bottomless cave without saying a word.
Tang Xi, who was gathering herbs in the back mountain, spotted him and quietly walked over to his side.
Tang Yue asked in a hoarse voice, "After a wolf dies, do we burn some offerings for it, just like people do?"
Tang Xi handed him the herbs she had gathered, saying, "Don't be superstitious. Burning things is for comforting the living."
“Dead means dead, it means gone, it means there is no place to rest in this world.” Tang Xi pointed to the herbs, “This is medicine to treat your leg injury.”
Tang Yue's leg, which he injured while protecting Tang Qiao in the cave last time, is still not healed.
“You should look more at living things.” Tang Xi turned and left. “The Wolf Lord has already been merciful to Tang Qiao. This is the path Tang Qiao chose herself.”
"I know." Tang Yue's voice was low as he looked blankly at the herbs in his hand, slowly clenching them.
"Don't forget, Zhu Hao will be our Wolf Lord's wife. Hurting her will only lead to the same fate as Tang Qiao." Tang Xi's voice was barely audible.
Tang Yue responded softly, "I know too."
Tang Yue stood at the cave entrance for a whole day, and finally scooped up a handful of soil from the cave entrance before returning to the manor.
He sealed the handful of soil in a glass bottle and placed it beside his pillow.
