Shang Xi looked at the words on his phone that invited her to dine, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Wen with a trace of strange doubts.
Gu Wen originally invited her with a selfish intention. When he saw her looking at him, he looked away uncomfortably and raised his hand to straighten the cub's neat clothes.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes covered them, hiding the deep and shy emotion in his eyes.
Shang Xi paused, feeling something was strange.
She looked at the main table not far away. The people sitting at that table were all Gu Wen's friends whom she had met last time.
That time, Gu Wen also typed and sent a message to her like this.
It's just that the content is completely opposite.
That time, he said: When you meet my friends, I hope you can speak as little as possible, thank you.
Now, he said: Can I invite you to sit next to me and dine?
The change has been quite big. At that time, he obviously didn't want himself to join his circle of friends.
Is it just because you suddenly like her now that you have these changes?
Shang Xi curled his lower lip slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
What should I do? She... doesn't seem to want to agree.
In fact, today is Gu Wen's birthday, and they also have a cub. According to her past, if she was a little more mature, she could have ignored it.
When she was a child, when she was bullied by relatives and children, most of the time adults would tell her not to worry about it.
After she nods, her relatives will pat her head and praise her for being sensible.
She was living under someone else's roof and had to rely on them for food. There was nothing she could do. Over time, as she grew up, she got used to being carefree and generous and gentle on the outside, but in her heart she was cold and sarcastic.
It's not an important person anyway, it's not someone you'll get along with for a long time anyway, it's not important, just deal with it now and deal with her the way she has always been.
Sometimes, she herself felt as if she was divided. She is not gentle at all, she is not generous at all, she holds a lot of grudges, and when others do something to her, she closes the door and does not want to have a close relationship with them.
Since she was a child, she has never had the capital to get angry and run away without others. She lives at a relative's house and runs out when she gets angry? Do you expect others to take her back?
No one came to take her back, but she tried.
She envied those children who were so angry that they refused to eat. She envied those children who could get into trouble with their parents.
If she doesn't eat, then don't eat. If she makes a fuss, she's a "white-eyed wolf."
Gu Wen's invitation to her for dinner was a big or small matter. She should have promised not to worry about it. One more thing and one less thing, everyone would be happy.
But, somehow, a certain string in my heart that had been sensible for many years suddenly no longer wanted to listen.
So, she also started typing and replying.
"Still, that table is full of Mr. Gu's good friends, right? I talk a lot, so I'm afraid I might accidentally get acquainted with your friends."
After clicking send, she walked towards the couple just now and naturally sat at the same table with them.
Will Gu Wen be angry?
There should be very few people who would reject him, right?
However, she didn't care whether he was angry or not.
"You..." The wolf mother of the little wolf girl was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that the housekeeper's wife would be sitting at the same table with them.
Shang Xi smiled: "Let's eat together. It just so happens that I'm a little hungry too."
"Okay, okay! It's just..." The wolf mother looked at the head of the family behind her.
Gu Wen held the cub in one hand and looked at the text messages on his phone.
The entire werewolf was a little startled.
She refused.
He also thought about that dinner party. He wanted to take Xiao Zai to meet his friends. Xiao Zai was not familiar with him at the time and might not be willing to go without Shang Xi, so he reluctantly invited her and also Sent a stupid text message...
Now, it is understandable and reasonable for people to disagree with his invitation.
It doesn't make any sense what he says.
She was the cub's mother, not his employee.
Gu Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the flash of gloom in his eyes, hugged the cub, and walked straight towards Shang Xi.
If she doesn't come, it doesn't matter, let him go.
Anyway, I have to run towards her.
After Shang Xi sat down, she smiled and greeted the werewolves at this table. The werewolves looked at her flattered. Shang Xi thought, wouldn't it be nice to sit and dine with them?
Why go to the same table with Gu Wen's friends?
She only met them once at the last dinner party. It wasn't her imagination. She felt that several of Gu Wen's friends seemed to have a problem with her.
While she was thinking, she felt someone standing next to her.
At the same time, she heard a small collision of tables, and the werewolves' obviously more excited and flattered voices: "Master!!"
"Oh my god! The master of the house is here!!"
Shang Xi was stunned and slowly raised his eyes.
Looking into Gu Wen's dark eyes, he pursed his thin lips, lowered his long eyes slightly, and said, "It was my fault before, can I sit here?"
"..."
If you ask this in front of so many werewolves and sons, can she still say no?
What shocked her even more was, when did this lone wolf become so shameless? He had to ask her if he could sit somewhere, this was his own home!
Also, doesn't he sit at the same table with his friends?
All the werewolves at the table looked at her and almost begged her to nod.
They seemed to want to sit at the same table as Gu Wen.
At the same time, some discussions started to sound.
"Has the head of the house made his partner angry?"
"As soon as I heard it, I was asking for peace."
"The head of the family is really together with this pure human being."
"Nonsense, they already have cubs, isn't it normal to be together?"
"It turns out that even the head of the family is like us at this time. I'm most afraid that my partner will be angry. It will hurt if she bites the wolf."
"The master's partner is a pure human being. Doesn't it hurt if he bites the wolf? That's great."
......
Shang Xi didn't hear the discussion, but Gu Wen naturally heard it. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and when he saw Shang Xi nodded, he said, "You are free to sit wherever you want."
Gu Wen opened his thin lips and replied without thinking, "But I just want to sit next to you."
As soon as he said this, a werewolf started to howl in a boogy manner.
Shang Xi was caught off guard when he heard these somewhat ambiguous words, frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Wen.
What happened to this lone wolf?
I saw that after Gu heard what he said, he was still embarrassed. Under his short black hair, the roots of his ears were red.
He lowered his long eyes, glanced at her, and then looked away.
There was a trace of annoyance in his eyes. Would Shang Xi think he was too frivolous?
Shang Xi suddenly came closer to him, and Gu Wen's body stiffened slightly.
She held out her hand.
Gu heard that the whole wolf didn't dare to move.
I heard Nang Xi say: "...When did you fall asleep? You have to eat and then fall asleep."
She was looking at the cubs, she was talking about the cubs.
Gu Wen was slightly relieved, but also a little disappointed for no reason. No, disappointed? What is he thinking about...
The cub did fall asleep, lying in his father's arms. His long and straight eyelashes were like rows of small fans. His little hands grabbed the corners of his clothes and slept soundly.
Gu Wen said that since this is the period of bone development, it is a good thing to sleep more, and Shang Xi did not plan to wake his son.
Eat after you wake up.
Except for her, all the werewolves were eating meat.
Nanfengyuan has made beef, mutton, pork, horse meat, snow rabbit meat, snow bird meat...
Anyway, the meat tube is full.
Shang Xi thought, this should be a paradise for meat lovers, right?
The main table in the center.
Fu Su spread his hands, smiled and shook his head: "Okay, let's eat ours."
"It's different when you have a partner you like."
"Isn't Whitetail coming down?"
"She has too many suitors and has gone into hiding."
Qin Ming withdrew his eyes from Gu Wen, and he thought silently, but he didn't expect that Gu Wen would also become one of those werewolves running behind his partners.
Don't you think it's a little troublesome to confirm your partner so early?
Just as he was thinking about it, he noticed a line of sight from the side staring at him.
It's Bluetail.
Sitting at the same table with the black tails, she almost forgot to eat. She kept staring at Qin Ming with her beautiful eyes open. There were too many things hidden in her eyes, including love, longing, sadness and grievance.
Qin Ming paused slightly and withdrew his gaze.
The last time he came to Qingcheng, he didn't go to see her.
There are too many werewolves here now, and she doesn't dare to come to him. She is so timid. She obviously wants to talk to him, but she doesn't dare to come.
He sighed and went to the quiet lakeside after dinner.
Sure enough, the female werewolf, holding a blue dress, trotted over and stopped two meters away.
"When will you leave this time?"
"night."
"Don't you want to see me? Have I caused you trouble? I know you came to Qingcheng last time, but you didn't come to see me. I have been looking forward to it, waiting for you to come to me." Lanwei The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and tears fell: "Do you hate me? Do you think I'm useless?"
Qin Ming turned around and sighed: "I don't hate you."
Lanwei was wearing a blue off-shoulder dress, revealing white skin. She was dressed up today and had lipstick on her lips.
"Do you like things used by pure human women?" Qin Ming asked.
Lanwei immediately covered her face, feeling that this move was too abrupt. She was a little embarrassed to put down her hands, and lowered her eyes and said, "Well, it was Shang Xi who taught me." She lowered her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "...No Does it look good?"
Qin Ming looked at her deeply, without nodding or denying, and said, "Use whatever you like. I think it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not."
He is not her partner, there is no need to ask him, this sentence came to his lips, but somehow he did not say it.
He moved his nose and took a whiff.
She still had a faint scent of the male werewolf, the brown one, called Brown Tail.
Qin Ming became irritable.
"How old is the male werewolf in the flower shop?"
he asked suddenly.
The topic changed so quickly that Lanwei was stunned for a moment, and then answered honestly: "Twenty years old in one month."
Qin Ming pursed his lips slightly, and his tone was uncontrollably serious: "You know so clearly?"
He seemed more agitated.
"No, he said it himself." Lanwei was sensitive to his emotions and said cautiously: "Are you unhappy?"
"No." Qin Ming calmed down his breathing.
Did the young male werewolf not pay attention to collect the smell, or did he do it on purpose...
No, it has nothing to do with him.
Lanwei is free to talk about her partner if she wants to. If he can't make a promise, don't delay her.
Blue Tail needs protection so much, so it's good to find a partner early.
With this in mind, he said a few more words and left without looking back, but there was an discomfort in his heart that could not be ignored.
Gu Wen's thirtieth birthday passed in an exceptionally harmonious and peaceful manner. The tribesmen ate, drank, and chatted in Nanfeng Garden. When the sun went down, they left with their families.
There were only familiar faces left in Nanfeng Garden.
Baiwei didn't know where she was hiding. Nang Xi always wanted to see her again, but he didn't see her.
Night falls.
In Nanfeng Garden, the black tails were carrying the gifts sent by the tribe. The werewolves heard that the head of the family had a cub, so they brought some small gifts to Shang Bao.
There are bones of snowshoe rabbits, used to grind the teeth of cubs.
There is a necklace made of transparent white snow stone.
There are blue stones in the snow mountain stream.
After the werewolves helped unpack the large and beautiful packaging box, they took out small gifts and handed them to the cubs.
Shang Bao liked these strange little gifts very much. He carried them in his clothes and walked to the room step by step.
When Shang Xi came out of the shower, he saw his son laying a layer of various gadgets on the blanket in the room.
"Mom, I give you the most beautiful necklace here."
That string of snow stones.
"What is this? Jade?" Shang Xi picked it up and looked at it carefully, "It's quite beautiful."
The white is transparent and clean, with a faint soft light.
The mother and son watched curiously for a while, and Gu Wen came to feed Lengquan.
Shang Xi was wearing white pajamas. Seeing him coming, she got up out of habit and went to the balcony.
Gu Wen's eyes followed her, but unfortunately Shang Xi lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and never turned to look at him again.
Gu Wen pursed his lips slightly and returned to the room.
He lay in bed, unable to sleep, all he could think about was Shang Xi and the progress of their relationship.
He held the button and stared at it in the darkness for a long time. His ears felt hot, but he put it under his nose without hesitation and took a deep sniff.
It's all her scent.
The tails of his ears popped right out.
He suddenly sat up from the bed, took the small box, and found all the buttons that belonged to Shang Xi.
In the hand, there is a small handful.
No one would know that late at night, the tall werewolf was in his room, gently wagging his big tail, holding a button, looking excited and shy.
He didn't know how to get closer to Shang Xi.
Only in this late night, alone, crazy and perverted.
He even dug out the chat records with Cang Ling and listened to Cang Ling's recording, which was the story Shang Xi told at the beginning.
Her gentle and beautiful voice seemed to be ringing in his ears. Her voice was so close to him, but there was no one beside her.
Gu Wen was restless, thinking about things, sometimes shy, sometimes crazy, sometimes depressed, sometimes excited.
When you wake up in the morning.
Recalling some of the rude scenes in his dream, Gu Wen took a cold shower before going downstairs.
He felt that it was not possible to go on like this. He had not yet reached the stage of love, but his heart was so uneven. How was he different from those werewolves who were younger and had never been in love, such as Kuroo and the others.
However, it seems that he has never been in love.
Gu Wen accepted his fate, he was no different from the black tails.
Oh, maybe he underestimated Kuroo, this guy has already found someone he likes.
At this moment, Kuroo was being embarrassedly surrounded by his tribe members and questioning him.
"Tell me the truth, Kuroo, where do you know this person from?"
"She is a pure human woman, not a female werewolf."
"Kuroo, you can do it. You are single. Please introduce us."
Kuroo clenched his phone tightly and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "...We are just talking online now. This is called online dating. I haven't met her yet. However, I like the sound of her voice."
Shang Xi took a mouthful of food in silence, thinking that these days, werewolves have started dating online.
Does the other party know that she is talking to a werewolf?
Kuroo looked happy and sweet: "I have known her for half a year. She calls me little brother. She takes me to play games. It would be great if she really becomes my partner."
The other werewolves were sore.
"Damn it, this traitor secretly left the single family, get out of here!"
"Wow! I feel bad all over!"
"I really like her. She said she's not very good-looking. I'm not a wolf who cares about looks. I really like her." Kuroo's whole body was filled with bubbles of happiness.
Shang Xi listened and felt something was wrong.
"We're meeting this Saturday, Shang Xi, can you match my clothes?"
"Oh, sure."
Gu Wen ate his meal in silence, looking at Kuroo's useless look, the more he looked at him, the more unhappy he became.
Kuroo already has a partner! !
He glanced at Shang Xi, and his heartbeat accelerated like thunder.
"Shang Shu, do you want to go swimming today?" He glanced at Shang Xi again and asked.
Nothing could be seen on his face, but his mind had turned a few corners.
