Chapter 139
The earthquake in Qingcheng city came suddenly, and the city was wounded.
All the Wolfmen in Qingcheng put down their tasks and voluntarily gathered together to become volunteers, helping to rescue people in the ruins, working until they were drenched in sweat, and only returning home when it was dark.
They loved this city, they liked these pure humans, these weak and fragile pure humans...
It was really helpless.
Gray Tail also joined in, leaving home early and returning late, his face covered in dirt, pouring all his energy into rescuing people. With their enhanced hearing and keen sense of smell, they knew where people were buried.
Like many Wolfmen families, Zhou Ziyou was responsible for Gray Tail's meals every day. At noon, she would bring a huge lunchbox filled with beef and water.
Under the park trees,
Zhou Ziyou called out, "Come over here, no one's around, come eat here."
Gray Tail, wearing loose jeans and a gray t-shirt, was dirty all over, his gray hair completely gray, his fierce face covered in sweat.
He casually wiped his hand across his face, taking the water Zhou Ziyou handed him and gulping it down.
Zhou Ziyou held a tissue, standing on her toes, naturally wiping his face, gently furrowing her brow: "Look at this sweat, oh my, your whole face is covered in dirt."
Gray Tail drank the water, bending slightly, listening to her nagging, allowing her to wipe his face.
"That was the last collapsed building, I hope there are fewer casualties," Zhou Ziyou said. "But you don't have to come tomorrow, you've worked hard these past few days, thank you."
"Mm."
In fact, it was Zhou Ziyou who originally wanted to be a volunteer, but she had an early period, and instead of being in intense pain like some girls, she just felt weak and had a sore back and body discomfort.
Coincidentally, Gray Tail received a call from Brown Tail, and they were going to be volunteers, asking if he wanted to go.
Gray Tail had no feelings for pure humans, he didn't care how they were. But since this round-faced woman was going, he might as well go too.
Gray Tail ate the meat without saying a word.
Zhou Ziyou was looking at her phone next to him, the atmosphere calm and peaceful.
"Since tomorrow is the last day, I won't cook for you anymore, I'm going on a blind date tomorrow," Zhou Ziyou handed her phone to Gray Tail: "Take a look, this man is not bad looking, they say he's a group leader at a company."
Gray Tail looked at the man in the suit on the phone, pursing his lips: "He's ugly as hell."
Then he continued eating the meat.
"Really? I think he's okay," Zhou Ziyou looked at the photo of the average-looking man, not handsome but not ugly either.
"Your taste is terrible," Gray Tail said without any mercy.
"Little wolf brother, you're still too young," Zhou Ziyou said in a tone of experience: "Having a handsome guy at home, not to mention I can't find one, and even if I did, I wouldn't feel at ease, right? If he doesn't go looking for trouble, trouble will still come find him. I just want to live a peaceful life."
"To tell you the truth, I have a phobia of handsome men," she said.
She just wanted a simple life, a handsome man, she really couldn't take it. If he doesn't go looking for trouble, trouble will still come find him. In the long run, would he really be able to control himself and resist the temptation?
Zhou Ziyou was not a flower growing in a greenhouse, she saw through human nature too clearly, could she be called pessimistic? She didn't think so, she was just too serious, saw things too clearly.
This was the era of fast food, dating apps were everywhere, everyone didn't want to settle, as long as it was passable, not too much.
She just wanted something simple, even simpler, finding someone as steadfast as her, not so restless, able to calm down, not interested in the beautiful temptations of the outside world, someone ordinary who could live life.
Gray Tail lifted his gaze and looked deeply at Zhou Ziyou for a long time without speaking, continuing to eat the meat, his lowered brows and eyes revealing no emotion.
This woman has failed at blind dates so many times, this time will fail again, he was no longer surprised.
There was a dark voice in his heart saying: failure would be best.
Probably... it was his selfish thoughts at work, because if Zhou Ziyou couldn't find a man, it meant he wouldn't become redundant.
He didn't want to become redundant.
He... didn't want to leave her side.
Gray Tail was very clear that as a homeless person, he was always looking for a home to stay in. He used to think that Nanfeng Courtyard was a place he could stay, but now he wanted to stay in Zhou Ziyou's home.
If possible, he wanted to stay by her side forever, and he wouldn't get tired of it either.
Just like now, he lifted his gaze, looking at the woman's hair blowing in the wind like a swing, just like now, he liked this peaceful feeling.
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward.
Since Gu Wen was injured, Shang Xi had almost always stayed in the hospital, and luckily her son was on vacation now, not having to go to school.
In the evening, she and her son were staying in the family room in the ward.
At noon, her son was taking a nap.
She sat by the bedside, holding a book, and at the request of a certain lonely wolf, she began to read the content of the book to him.
"The things you told them at Nanfeng Courtyard, I want to hear them all."
Shang Xi glanced at him, thinking to herself, why didn't you go listen at the time?
Unexpectedly, the certain lonely wolf continued: "From now on, only tell stories to me, don't tell them."
"Who told them, they don't have a partner."
Shang Xi: "..."
What, are you starting to be smug now?
She didn't feel like speaking, opened the storybook, and began to read.
"Once upon a time, there was a black rabbit, and in front of its home was a murky river, on the other side was a verdant grassland. The grass on this side was not as much as the other side, but it wouldn't starve the rabbit."
She didn't notice that Gu Wen's expression had become a little strange.
She continued: "No matter who wanted to cross that river, it would rush out and shout: 'This river is dangerous, it can kill you! You can't cross!'"
...
"...In the end, the white rabbit and the yellow rabbit behind it ended up together."
"That's wrong," Gu Wen spoke up.
"What's wrong?" Shang Xi was stunned for a moment, looking down at the book: "There's nothing wrong."
Gu Wen stared at her, his thin lips slightly hooked: "The black rabbit and the white rabbit ended up together."
"What do you mean?"
Gu Wen had once uncontrollably unleashed his heightened senses in the room and overheard this story.
He was the black rabbit who jumped into the river.
This is just the first part, more is coming tomorrow when the lone wolf recovers!
