On the other side.
Let's rewind back to yesterday afternoon.
Zhou Ziyou looked at Gray Tail, who was lying in the entrance with his eyes closed, and said in a low voice from behind the table: "Are you...asleep? Do you want to go back to bed and rest?"
"I still can't walk. Uh...let me carry you back to the room?"
It's not good for him to just lie there like that.
As soon as Gray Tail heard that this woman wanted to carry him on her back, he immediately opened his eyes.
He didn't want to get so close to her!
He growled lowly and bared his teeth.
Zhou Ziyou was startled.
"Then...then just stay there, whatever you like."
The timid woman quickly retreated back to her room, and Gray Tail fell asleep again.
After sleeping for who knows how long, he smelled a scent of meat and slowly woke up.
The woman was standing far away, and in front of him were two large plates - one plate had raw pork, the other had cooked pork.
Next to it was also rice.
Gray Tail: ......
"Which one do you want to eat? I...just boiled it a little."
Gray Tail closed his eyes, refusing to listen, look, or eat.
Who knows if this pure human had poisoned it?
He would just wait quietly until he regained some strength, then leave.
Then, at night.
He lay in the entrance, unable to move.
In the evening, Zhou Ziyou, wearing pajamas, asked him one last time: "Um, are you really not going back to the room to sleep? If you want to go, just twitch your ears or wag your tail?"
The other did not move his ears or tail at all.
Zhou Ziyou waited for a while, then went into the room and closed the door.
No matter how much she persuaded, she was also tired.
Just before going to sleep, she threw a blanket over and covered him up.
The next day.
Gray Tail woke up and looked at the pink blanket over himself, glaring and instinctively letting out a yelp, ready to jump up and shake the blanket off, but he just imagined doing it in his mind.
His body didn't move at all.
After a whole night, his body still hadn't recovered!
In the morning, Zhou Ziyou cooked meat again, but the other still didn't eat it.
"You'll die if you don't eat! And you were so severely injured too."
Gray Tail ignored her.
The woman went into the room again for a long time without coming out, and who knows what she was doing in there.
Sometimes she would grab her hair in frustration, open the door, go to the water dispenser to get water, turn around, see him in the entrance and shriek in fright.
Gray Tail looked at her scornfully.
What a timid woman.
On the third day.
He couldn't hold on anymore, and was somewhat on the verge of death.
Zhou Ziyou's work was not going smoothly, so she was in a bad mood. She drank some liquor to drown her sorrows, got a little tipsy, and couldn't stand it anymore either. She angrily walked up to the gray wolf and pointed at the meat.
"Why aren't you eating it? Are you trying to starve yourself to death? Why? You're making me feel so guilty, because you got hurt like this from saving me. And do you think this meat is cheap? It's fifteen yuan per pound! And you're not even eating it, are you afraid I poisoned it?"
She pointed at her dark eye circles and said angrily: "Do you think I earn money easily? I'm going crazy from not being able to think of a storyline!"
Gray Tail was berated out of the blue and was stunned speechless for a moment.
"My family called again, I blocked them but they still called, shameless, so annoying!" She grabbed a piece of boiled meat and shoved it into her mouth, taking a fierce bite. "Look! Is there poison? I'm eating it too! Ugh...fatty meat is so disgusting..."
"I'm not poisoned, I want to vomit because I don't eat fatty meat, do you understand?" Zhou Ziyou retched as she ate: "Do you know where my hometown is? Pfft, my home is in Qingcheng, right here! I found this home myself! Do you know what my name used to be?"
"The past doesn't matter, now my name is Zhou Ziyou, get it? I want freedom, I want to love myself!" As she spoke, her eyes grew red. "Look at me, my parents might as well not exist! They favored boys over girls, they named me Zhou Zhaodi when I was only seventeen, and wanted to sell me for a 130,000 yuan dowry to a 40-year-old bachelor!"
"But look at me now, I cut ties with them, used my own hard work to buy a car and a home, I don't want to die, I want to live well! To live for myself!"
She was drunk and bold, grabbing the meat and shoving it towards the wolf's mouth.
"Eat it! You're going to die, do you know that or not!" The pure human woman said with tears in her voice.
Gray Tail looked at her blankly, and opened his mouth.
He didn't even know what was going on with himself!
That night, he lay back down on the bed in the woman's guest room, still in a daze.
But even if he really died.
There would probably be barely anyone who cared anyway.
