The Next Day.
The two of them went to the amusement park.
Zhou Ziyou could do all those things with her partner that she had wanted to do (amusement park, eating cotton candy together, going to a couple's restaurant, etc.), and Gray Tail could accompany her.
Today is Wednesday, the weather is still nice, and there aren't many people at the amusement park.
Zhou Ziyou didn't know how others saw them, as a couple, siblings? Or classmates... Well, she had a big face, so they wouldn't be classmates no matter what.
Although Gray Tail is tall with broad shoulders, his body is slender, and there is a heavy youthful aura between his brows.
He was wearing the black hooded sweatshirt he bought last time, with gray hair, a clearly young appearance, but his eyes seemed to have experienced a lot, showing a calmness and composure that didn't match his appearance.
Anyone who saw him could feel that he wasn't the lively, cheerful, and carefree type.
"What do you want to play?" he asked.
Zhou Ziyou snapped out of her thoughts, no longer caring how others perceived them. Her profession destined her to be lonely, her friends had their own jobs, and now she had Gray Tail to accompany her, which was enough.
Her eyes were determined. "Everything."
She wanted to experience all the attractions in this amusement park.
The nearest one was the carousel. Zhou Ziyou had wanted to experience it before, but it seemed like it was exclusive to children, and she couldn't bring herself to sit among a bunch of kids.
Now, she had someone to accompany her, so she didn't care anymore.
"I want to ride this one." She walked over and asked. Gray Tail was so tall; wouldn't he look too big sitting on it? Some men cared about that, feeling embarrassed.
Gray Tail had no idea what she was thinking. He just nodded when he saw her pointing at the carousel.
The two of them sat down, one in front of the other. The music started, and the carousel began to turn, with a gentle breeze blowing. Zhou Ziyou laughed a few times, feeling childish.
Gray Tail didn't know what was so fun about this thing. He was just here to participate.
After getting off the carousel, Zhou Ziyou said, "Next, let's go on the pirate ship!"
On the pirate ship, some people were screaming, and Gray Tail was a bit puzzled, not understanding.
Zhou Ziyou felt a bit gleeful, hiding behind Gray Tail and stifling her laughter.
Gray Tail was even more puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"
"Cough...," Zhou Ziyou said, "Isn't it funny to watch them scream like that?"
Gray Tail didn't think so. He just found it noisy.
Then...
After a while, he looked at Zhou Ziyou next to him, screaming, and his mouth twitched slightly. He silently reached out and covered his ears.
The next moment, his arm was tightly hugged, and Zhou Ziyou screamed loudly, like a drowning person grabbing onto driftwood. "Aaaaah! Hahaha! Gray Tail, why aren't you screaming?"
Gray Tail felt his arm being hugged tightly. He was silent for a moment, but he let her hug him, not pulling away.
After getting off the pirate ship, Zhou Ziyou's legs were weak, but she felt a bit excited: "Let's go on the swinging ship!"
"Aren't you afraid?" Gray Tail couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Ziyou confidently said, "It's only fun if you're scared!"
Alright.
You truly are.
Sure enough, another round of screams erupted.
Zhou Ziyou felt even more exhausted as she descended. She couldn't help but think, if her significant other were here, she would have leaned on his arm right now, borrowing some of his strength to pull herself along.
But this was Gray Tail.
Although they were out together, it was impossible to see Gray Tail as a romantic interest.
"Let's take a break." She found a spot to sit down.
Gray Tail stood by like a straight piece of wood, waiting for her.
Zhou Ziyou noticed a stall selling sweets ahead, where a boy queued up and bought two cups of milk tea, then headed towards a girl. Envy welled up in her heart. She had been shouting just a while ago, now her mouth was dry, and she also wanted something to drink.
She and Gray Tail were siblings, so of course, she could directly ask him to go and buy, but how should she put it, Zhou Ziyou thought, it didn't feel quite the same.
The milk tea bought by a significant other, the milk tea bought by a younger brother, even though they were the same flavor, the significance was completely different, and so was the mood.
She thought, if it were her significant other, that considerate and gentle, he would have already gone to buy it voluntarily.
They could still walk hand in hand, chatting as they strolled.
Zhou Ziyou thought, indeed, it's better to have a significant other.
"Do you want some milk tea?" Gray Tail, seeing Zhou Ziyou staring in that direction, said, "Wait here."
He turned and went to buy milk tea.
He quickly returned with a cup of original flavor milk tea.
Zhou Ziyou was somewhat surprised, "How did you know I like original flavor..."
"You always drink this flavor." Gray Tail felt she had asked a silly question. He wasn't an amnesiac, nor was he a fool. It was simple to figure out what she liked, just by paying attention to what she said, and remembering it.
Zhou Ziyou hadn't expected him to remember these small things, feeling a bit touched, she smiled at him, "Gray Little Brother, thank you."
Gray Tail seemed stunned for a moment, then turned away, awkwardly touching his flushed ear.
He thought, the way this woman smiled so earnestly was quite cute, she even had a dimple.
She was clearly a pure human, the kind he used to detest the most, but she was so cute and kind, so good to him, showing such genuine and adorable smiles to him.
The more Gray Tail thought about it, the faster his heart pounded.
After finishing her milk tea, Zhou Ziyou didn't feel like playing anything else.
"I'm a bit tired, let's go back."
As they reached the entrance, they encountered a cotton candy seller.
"Hey, that's cotton candy."
Upon hearing this, Gray Tail decisively walked over and ordered two.
One white, one pink.
Zhou Ziyou took a bite of the pink cotton candy, "It's so sweet."
Gray Tail also tried a bite, the cotton candy melted in his mouth, leaving a sweet taste,
This was his first time eating cotton candy.
At this moment, this woman was eating the same thing as him. There were so many pure humans on the street, yet she only stayed with him, only spoke to him.
Gray Tail felt inexplicably light-hearted, his heart was like this cotton candy, sweet and sticky.
He took the initiative to ask, "Don't you want to go to the haunted house?"
Zhou Ziyou shook her head, "Not for now, I'm quite scared, it's not a must-go."
Gray Tail pursed his lips. "I'm not afraid of all those things you pure humans talk about. If you're afraid... you can hold onto me..." As he uttered the last few words, he seemed to be saying something scandalous, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Zhou Ziyou didn't notice his discomfort, taking a bite of her cotton candy and saying, "Let's talk about it later."
But Gray Tail seemed to be intrigued.
The next day, they were supposed to go to the so-called "couple's restaurant" she mentioned.
Zhou Ziyou pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't think we should go."
Gray Tail paused, lips slightly pursed. "Why not?"
Zhou Ziyou organized her thoughts. "I feel like this kind of couple's restaurant is only meaningful for real couples. Actually, I realized yesterday at the amusement park, I'd rather do those things with my partner."
The more Gray Tail listened, the more indifferent his expression became.
What Zhou Ziyou meant was clear: doing those activities with him didn't give her the desired feeling.
He didn't understand why it had to be with a partner to be meaningful. They weren't partners, but he found it quite enjoyable.
He was only twenty years old, still a young wolf in the Wolf Clan. Most wolves didn't consider finding a partner at such a young age unless fate intervened.
For instance, he hadn't even thought about finding a partner.
However, this woman was nearing twenty-six, an age when humans were physically prime for bearing children. In the end, Gray Tail concluded: Zhou Ziyou was interested in men.
She just wanted a man.
What amusement park? Wearing couple's outfits, going to couple's restaurants—she just wanted a man!
For a moment, Gray Tail felt conflicted. He could go along with her, help her.
But she wanted a man, and he...
His face flushed with embarrassment. Sorry, but he couldn't help with that.
Wolves could only have one mate in their lifetime; they couldn't engage in intimate acts casually without love or a confirmed relationship.
So...
Gray Tail was helpless, and he fell silent.
Zhou Ziyou went on another blind date.
