Chapter 96
Chapter 96
Zhou Ziyou had been alone for too many years. Except for being a little less talkative, this little boy was not annoying at all. He was strong and could do silently anything she asked him to do.
She seemed to have really gained another brother without blood ties, much better than her own brother of blood ties.
Ten days ago, Gray Tail was originally sitting on the floor tiles in the living room, holding a knife and grinding a beef bone. Don\'t ask why he sat on the living room floor tiles, he liked it.
He didn\'t like soft sofas.
Even the bed boards were hard as nails.
At first Zhou Ziyou thought he was too polite and shy to sit on the sofa, so she persuaded him many times. Later, after confirming his preferences, she could only mop the floor cleaner.
What else could she do?
At that time, he seemed to have heard something. He hurriedly put away the knife and beef bone in his room, and said to her, "I have something to do and may have to leave for a while."
"What\'s the matter?"
He was silent for a second without saying anything, and left.
This was what annoyed Zhou Ziyou about the wolf cub. No matter what, he wouldn\'t say anything he didn\'t want to say, like a clam shutting its mouth tightly. To leave for a while on such a big matter, he actually didn\'t explain at all.
Something that made him leave in such a hurry must not be a small matter.
He had been away for ten days without even a message.
To be fair, aside from anything else, wasn\'t he still her little bodyguard on the surface?
Shouldn\'t he report his itinerary to her?
If he wasn\'t a little bodyguard, she was still his sister after all. They had been living together for months. Were they still as estranged and courteous to each other as when they first met?
Or...had it always been like this?
So he didn\'t need to tell her where he was going.
She was just being self-important? She took it seriously and earnestly?
Sometimes when Zhou Ziyou thought this way, she would feel a little disappointed. Her family had totally disappointed her. She had struggled alone over the years, and the hardship, loneliness and grievance were endless.
Those who had been lonely for a long time knew very well that when an undesirable person barged into your life, even just simple company and companionship was great, not necessarily romantic love.
She really cared about this guy as well, no different from a blood-related sister.
She cared for him, bought him new clothes.
So she was thinking too much?
After the disappointment, there was anger.
A nameless fire rose from her heart. This little brother was going too far!!
Didn\'t he know how well she had treated him?
Didn\'t he search his conscience?
What the heck, just leaving like that.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Zhou Ziyou\'s eyes lit up. The wolf cub was back.
She ran to the door in a few steps, ready to open it, and stopped.
People who had suffered too many losses, no matter how stupid, would become cautious.
What if the person at the door wasn\'t him?
If she made a sound, it would reveal she was home.
Zhou Ziyou\'s heart beat faster as she pursed her lips.
Just then, she heard the boy\'s low voice from outside the door.
"It\'s me."
Zhou Ziyou yanked open the door abruptly. Seeing the boy still wearing the same clothes as that day standing at the door, she suppressed the happiness in her heart and pretended to be stern, "Come in!"
Hearing something wrong with her voice, Gray Tail stared at her and silently walked in.
Zhou Ziyou pointed to the floor tiles in the middle of the living room. Her round face was unusually serious, "Sit down! I have something to ask you."
The tall and slender boy sat down without a word.
"Let me ask you," Zhou Ziyou crossed her arms and paced in front of Gray Tail. Finally she stopped in front of him, "We\'ve known each other for months, right? In your heart, am I still no different from a stranger?"
Gray Tail was startled for a moment, looked up at her, and then shook his head.
Seeing him nod, Zhou Ziyou raised her voice, as if emboldened, "I said I see you as a brother. How have I treated you? Search your conscience!"
"Very well."
"I\'m not your real sister, but I can be considered half a sister, right?" Zhou Ziyou got more agitated as she spoke, "Don\'t tell me I\'m not even half a sister to you there?"
At that moment, staring at Zhou Ziyou, Gray Tail was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."
"Yes? Then why didn\'t you tell me where you went these ten days? Do you know I\'d worry?" Zhou Ziyou\'s tone softened a little, "You just left casually! Did you ever think about my feelings as your sister?!" She poured out all her pent-up dissatisfaction and resentment.
Gray Tail was a little stunned, then explained, "I went to apprehend fallen werewolves. I didn\'t tell you because you\'d be scared."
After all, tens of fallen werewolves was rare.
But after this round of apprehensions, it would be peaceful for many years.
"Don\'t mind if I\'m scared or not! From now on say where you\'re going! Not knowing clearly makes me even more worried and scared!"
Gray Tail nodded seriously, "I understand."
Only then did Zhou Ziyou\'s tone soften a little, "Is everything resolved? Are you injured anywhere? Hungry? Have you eaten?"
Her series of caring questions made Gray Tail\'s mouth twitch slightly.
He really liked seeing her care about him like this, it was very warm.
"Hungry."
"Alright, I\'ll cook you some meat."
Soon, Gray Tail started eating big chunks of beef.
"What\'s this?" Zhou Ziyou\'s gaze fell on the back of Gray Tail\'s neck. She yanked back his hoodie and widened her eyes, sucking in a breath, "You...you\'re hurt!!
The deep, long beast bite marks had stopped bleeding, but still looked frightening and painful just to see.
One could imagine that Gray Tail had barely escaped death in the mouth of a fallen werewolf.
"Doesn\'t it hurt at all? Why didn\'t you mention it earlier!" Zhou Ziyou was both angry and heartbroken. This fool! And she had scolded him for so long!
Gray Tail ate heartily, looking innocent.
Zhou Ziyou rubbed her forehead and went to fetch a small medical kit. "Don\'t move, I\'ll sprinkle some medicinal powder and wrap gauze. Don\'t get it wet afterwards."
If it was a human, they would have had to go to the hospital for stitches long ago.
But she had also discovered that creatures like werewolves had high pain tolerance and their wounds healed quickly.
When her hand touched Gray Tail\'s neck, he shuddered and suddenly jerked away.
"What are you doing? Didn\'t I tell you not to move?" Zhou Ziyou frowned, "Be obedient!"
The boy\'s gaze lowered as he ate the meat, not moving anymore.
He just felt...very ticklish.
Also, he was a male werewolf. Such close contact with a woman wasn\'t suitable for them.
He had never fallen in love before either. Having a woman\'s hand touching his neck on and off made his ears turn red. He pursed his lips, feeling a little flustered inside.
She...
She said she saw him as a brother, as family.
He couldn\'t have any other thoughts, whether as pure humans or werewolf kind. It was very normal for family to take care of each other.
Thinking this way, he forcibly calmed himself down and obediently let Zhou Ziyou apply medicine and wrap bandages.
But he couldn\'t control his increasingly reddening ears and handsome face.
Zhou Ziyou noticed that Gray Tail had started grinding a beef bone again.
He had a serious expression, completely focused.
He was making a necklace.
He felt that the round, snow-white neck of this woman was very suitable for a necklace that was polished smooth and delicate, rounded.
He had seen before that female werewolves liked wearing these.
Speaking of which, why were there so many couples...so many pits ah (soul flies to heaven)
