She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 174

Chapter 174

On the afternoon, Zhou Ziyou's fever subsided and she left the hospital.

Gray Tail drove her back, and she felt a bit complicated. In the car, the two didn't say much, keeping quiet.

After getting off the car, she looked at Gray Tail: "If you... have something to do, go ahead with your business. Thanks for today."

"I'm not busy."

Gray Tail glanced at the supermarket ahead, where they usually shopped for groceries. He asked, "Did I buy the groceries last time?"

Zhou Ziyou nodded slightly: "I think so..."

"Then let's go." Gray Tail headed towards the supermarket.

"Hey you..." Zhou Ziyou followed him. Gray Tail's natural gesture of buying groceries for her made her unsure of what to say. In the past, when they were siblings living under the same roof, it was natural for him to buy groceries. But now...

Just as he denied, they were not siblings anymore. So what was his relationship with her when he naturally helped her with these chores? Lovers? She hadn't agreed to that yet.

"Gray Tail!"

Zhou Ziyou called out to him, her tone becoming more serious.

The young man in front of her stopped, turned around, and looked at her with lowered eyes.

Zhou Ziyou turned her head, biting her lip: "About those words you said to me in the hospital, I'll consider them, but I can't give you an answer right now."

"Okay." Gray Tail nodded.

They shopped for groceries in the supermarket as usual, but their mindsets were different. Gray Tail also bought her some daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables, carrying numerous bags out of the supermarket.

He didn't let Zhou Ziyou help carry anything, as the weight was insignificant for them.

Zhou Ziyou walked with empty hands, casting her gaze on the tall, slender young man, her eyes tinged with a hint of appreciation for the opposite sex.

Gray Tail put the groceries in the fridge one by one, then started skillfully mopping the floor and trimming the plants on the balcony.

Zhou Ziyou sat on the sofa, staring at the busy fellow, feeling that... it wasn't too bad?

She had never thought of Gray Tail as a potential partner before, but now she realized that despite being a few years younger than her, he was unexpectedly quite mature. Although quiet, he was willing to work hard, and with him around, she was indeed relieved of a lot of effort.

Ah, he bought her breakfast, the groceries, and did the household chores as well...

And he was good-looking too.

Why not give it a try?

She kept staring at Gray Tail, lost in thought, not noticing that his face was turning redder, and his movements were becoming more and more stiff, until suddenly, a pair of gray-black ears emerged from the top of his head...

Zhou Ziyou was stunned: "Ah..."

Gray Tail tried to remain calm, acting as if nothing had happened, continuing his chores with the big ears on his head.

And so, Gray Tail stayed over again.

It was as if he had never moved out, just like their previous, simple sibling relationship...

No, it was slightly different.

In the morning, Zhou Ziyou crawled out of bed, disheveled and unkempt, ready to open the door. But she paused, quietly turning around and going to the bathroom to brush her teeth, wash up, and tidy herself before opening the door.

Gray Tail was sitting on the floor, carving a cow bone, with a basket of steamed buns on the table as breakfast.

Zhou Ziyou cleared her throat softly and walked over: "You're up so early."

Gray Tail looked up at her, his gaze lingering on the cow bone necklace around her neck, the corners of his lips subtly curling up: "Oh."

She was wearing it again.

Zhou Ziyou noticed his gaze and touched the necklace around her neck: "That... I've thrown away the necklace from that scumbag."

"This one... looks quite nice, like a pearl necklace."

Gray Tail made an "oh" sound and continued carving with more vigor.

Gray Tail had to go for driving lessons every day, while Zhou Ziyou was busy with her work. Their relationship seemed unchanged, yet it felt different too.

For instance, one day, Gray Tail returned from his driving lesson with a bag of groceries in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

When Zhou Ziyou saw the bouquet, she suddenly felt extremely awkward for some reason.

Although Gray Tail had confessed to her in the hospital, after returning to this apartment, they hadn't engaged in any intimate interactions, and he hadn't said anything further to her.

Gray Tail's voice was stiff, unable to look her in the eye: "For you."

"Oh, thank you." Zhou Ziyou's voice was so soft that she could barely hear it herself.

Her face flushed, and she took the flowers.

Gray Tail strode towards the kitchen, carrying the bag of groceries, put them in the fridge, and then went on to skillfully mop the floor and trim the plants on the balcony.

On the third day, after Gray Tail returned from his driving lesson, he walked down the street and felt that there were a lot of people around, and the street decorations seemed different.

He overheard people talking about it being Valentine's Day.

Knife Scar Face Uncle reminded him that Valentine's Day was the best time to express his feelings, and whatever he gave would make the recipient happy.

He stood in front of a cosmetics store for a while before entering, as if going into battle.

"Handsome guy, what are you looking for?"

"Hey little bro, are you buying skincare products for your girlfriend?"

Gray Tail took an imperceptible step back, his gaze becoming wary. Oh no, he was surrounded by two women.

The red-lipped woman in a uniform and stockings smiled: "Would you like to take a look at our newly launched lipstick from KTA? It's been selling exceptionally well lately, definitely a safe choice. Your girlfriend will love it."

"Yes, if your girlfriend has fair skin, it would suit her even better."

...

Soon after, the sound of payment was heard in the store.

"...198 yuan received."

On Valentine's Day, Zhou Ziyou received a gift.

This was the first time she had received a gift!

Her heart was pounding excitedly. She returned to her room, opened the gift, and found a lipstick - a KTA lipstick, shade 711 Maple Red.

Applying it in front of the mirror, she noticed that not only were her lips red, but her face was also slightly flushed.

Since he had given her a lipstick, she should give him a gift in return.

After much deliberation, she bought Gray Tail a pair of shoes.

The next day.

She wore a white dress and applied the lipstick before leaving her room.

Gray Tail stared at her, dumbfounded. Zhou Ziyou usually wore pajamas at home and rarely dressed up, so when she did...

"Are you going on a blind date?"

"Who said that? No, I'm not."

Gray Tail seemed confused: "But you..."

"What? Can't I dress up at home?"

Zhou Ziyou retorted and scoffed before fetching some water to drink. As her skirt swayed, Gray Tail's gaze couldn't help but follow.

With her back towards him, Zhou Ziyou suddenly asked, "Don't I look good?"

Gray Tail, sitting on the floor in the living room, seemed to snap out of a daze. He hurriedly lowered his gaze, unconsciously swallowing, and touched his nose: "...You look good."

Zhou Ziyou, holding the glass of water, walked over to him. Then, she slowly squatted down.

Gray Tail didn't know what she wanted to do or say. He sat there, dazed and inexplicably dry-mouthed.

Zhou Ziyou pursed her lips, her red lips parting slightly: "Lipstick... I put on the one you gave me."

Gray Tail's eyes widened for a moment, his whole body's blood boiling. He stared at the woman's luscious, tender lips and swallowed hard.

Zhou Ziyou glanced at the cup, looking a little regretful: "The color looks nice, but it stained the cup a bit."

Sure enough, there was a lipstick print on the cup she drank from.

She stood up, took a sip of water, and casually placed the cup on the table.

She went to eat the breakfast Gray Tail had bought.

Gray Tail felt his pounding heart and a certain heated part of his body. He took a deep breath and lowered his head.

After eating breakfast, Zhou Ziyou went to her room to work. Gray Tail stood up and couldn't help but grab the cup on the table, staring at the lipstick print for a long time. His breathing gradually became heavier, and he seemed bewitched, slowly pressing his lips against that lipstick print...

Zhou Ziyou was acting like she was in a romance. She dug out many clothes to wear at home, curling her hair and putting on earrings.

Meanwhile, Gray Tail became increasingly unkempt.

Sometimes he would rush into the room, slamming the door shut, not emerging for a long time with a flushed face.

He frequently drank ice water and took cold showers.

Rarely, one day, he lingered in bed.

He wanted to see that woman but was also afraid to see her. It seemed like she was launching an offensive towards him, seducing him, but she hadn't agreed to a relationship yet.

He lay in bed, his face red and feverish from the torment of his body and mind.

His behavior made Zhou Ziyou misunderstand.

Seeing that he hadn't gotten up so late, Zhou Ziyou thought he was sick. She knocked on the door, pushed it open a crack, and turned on the light.

Noticing his flushed face, she looked worried: "Do you have a fever?"

She came in and felt his forehead.

Touched by her cool hand, Gray Tail took a deep breath but remained silent.

Today, Zhou Ziyou wore a sexy, feminine red dress.

Gray Tail gritted his teeth, almost unable to bear it any longer. He flipped over and pinned Zhou Ziyou beneath him, his hands braced on either side of her. But her large eyes made him falter, and he surrendered, burying his head against her in an embrace, sounding low, muffled, and aggrieved: "You're doing this on purpose."

Zhou Ziyou let him embrace her, her tone amused: "Doing what on purpose?"

"You know in your heart. Don't do this anymore." Gray Tail's voice was muffled as he hugged her tightly, inhaling her scent.

Zhou Ziyou twisted her neck to avoid him: "What are you doing? Behave yourself and don't move."

Gray Tail obediently stopped, only daring to hug her, then asked softly after a while: "Have you agreed?"

"Hmm... what do you think?"

"Speak clearly."

Zhou Ziyou: "Do you think just anyone can lie on top of me like this?"

Gray Tail immediately raised his head, his eyes flashing green. His ears and tail emerged, his large tail swishing excitedly behind him, slapping the blanket.

She agreed!

He had a partner now!

He leaned in, blushing, towards the woman's red lips.

And finally tasted that soft touch, his wish fulfilled.

It was the same lipstick he had bought her.

Zhou Ziyou's ears turned red, and she kissed him back, unrelenting.

What she wanted was a simple, ordinary life, with someone who would listen to her and only have eyes and a heart for her, regardless of whether she was fat or thin. With Gray Tail, she only needed to be herself.

One month after they got together, Gray Tail asked Zhou Ziyou to give him a human name.

"A name... why should I give you one?"

Gray Tail said, "Mates give each other names..."

In "mates," he included Knife Scar Face Uncle.

Zhou Ziyou thought for a moment: "How about Hui Ling?"

"Good." Gray Tail was satisfied.

They would have a little extra story afterwards...
