In the car on the way to kindergarten.
Silence spread.
Sitting in the car, the whole family didn't know what to say.
Shang Bao's mood was somewhat affected. He lowered his head and looked at the car in his hand without making a sound.
He was thinking about his mother at home.
As he was approaching school, Gu Wen's personal phone rang.
When he saw the word "Shang Xi", he paused and pressed answer.
A woman's voice came softly from the phone, and her tone was very calm: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I just woke up. Have you arrived at the kindergarten?"
Gu Wen saw the cub suddenly raise his head, his big eyes fixed on his mobile phone.
"Coming."
On the other end of the phone, the woman seemed relieved: "That's good. Can you give Shang Bao your phone?"
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether you give it or not, the werewolf's hearing is too good.
"Mom!!" Shang Bao shouted impatiently and stretched out his little hand.
Gu Wen silently handed him the phone.
Then, he heard the woman's voice on the phone become gentle several degrees.
"Zai Zai, I'm sorry, mom got up late and couldn't take you to school."
Even though the phone can be heard no matter how far away it is, the cub still holds the phone tightly to his ear, as if he wants to get closer to his mother.
Because his face is fleshy and small, the phone is a bit too big for him, making a hollow in his little face.
Hearing his mother's voice, he changed his previous dullness, shook his short legs, shook his head vigorously, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter, Mom is tired, she needs to sleep a little longer."
"Mom is fine, just a scratch on her forehead. Don't worry, okay? I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
Gu Wen saw the cub frowning and said in a serious tone, "Mom, you have to rest, and you have to be obedient."
He is used to imitating. Sometimes when he hears what other parents say to their children in kindergarten, he will go home and tell his mother in a serious manner.
But his childish milky voice has no majesty at all.
The woman on the phone couldn't help laughing, and she didn't blame him for not being old or young. She hummed as usual: "Okay, then I will rest for two more hours, no more."
She had a skin injury to begin with, so it was really not a big problem.
Shang Bao pursed his lips and frowned, but he could only win so much. He understood that if his mother had to rest for the whole day, she would not listen.
He nodded seriously: "Yes, yes."
Gu Wen stared at the cubs with interest, listened to their conversation, and raised his eyebrows.
He has been in the human world for so long and has seen everything that is not the arrangements and instructions of his parents.
Purely human parents like to control their offspring and want to have everything in their hands. Not to mention that the cubs are still so young. Even though those offspring are adults and can support themselves and are independent, their parents are still reluctant to let go of the rope in their hands. .
In the werewolf tribe, after the offspring can support themselves, the wolf father and wolf mother no longer care about them. They have their own lives to live. Unless future generations are having a hard time and ask for help, they won't care.
When Shang Xi treats the cubs, she does not have a sense of superiority as a provider or a sense of condescension. She treats the cubs as equals.
After spending the past few days together, he has never seen Shang Xi yelling or getting angry at the cub. Perhaps because of this, the cub's mood is also very stable and he will not yell or cry suddenly.
Before coming to see Shang Xi, he had imagined what kind of woman she was.
There is a purely human aunt in the old house, who is a single mother.
It is definitely not easy for a woman to raise a child. She is anxious, sleep deprived, emotionally unstable, makes the child study hard, restricts the child's freedom, and sets various rules and regulations.
He had met that aunt's son several times when he was a child.
He thought that he would see a cub who was also emotionally unstable, or had low self-esteem and timidity, which would be a bit bad, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He has been absent for so many years and has no right to complain.
But after spending this week together, the cub's behavior surprised him.
He thought that Shang Xi was really good at educating cubs.
Thinking of her firm choice to leave in half a year last night...
Gu Wen pressed his eyebrows, feeling a little irritated.
