Shang Xi couldn't understand no matter what, why Gu Wen would like her.
Looking at his expression, it doesn't seem to be an act...
He revealed his wolf ears and tail, was it to show her?
From just now until now, although he had dumped all his feelings on her in one go.
But, it had nothing to do with her, right?
Gu Wen was always inexplicable, often leaving her puzzled, guessing blindly, with a face full of question marks. She understood that they were not the same kind, there was a generation gap between them.
She thought, well, that's fine too. They would not stay together for the long term anyway, the generation gap did not matter.
Now, what was he saying? That he likes her?
He was the one who was prejudiced against pure humans.
He was also the one who told her to stay away from him.
And before, she had only smiled politely at him with all eyes on them, yet he had turned around and went straight into the room twice, hating her to that extent already.
She must not dare to forget what Gray Tail had said that night.
Afterwards, their relationship eased up a little. For the child, the two of them were comrades-in-arms, working together for meals and outings. As time went by together, she admitted that Gu Wen was quite a good wolf in many ways.
Their relationship was just that of cooperating partners, comrades-in-arms, usually just polite and courteous interactions. To take it further...
Forget it.
Gu Wen had never been in her mate selection criteria. Just like he had reminded her at the beginning, she had never thought of him that way.
She didn't understand the mindset of werewolves, and didn't want to understand it either.
Previously when she sensed Gu Wen and Gray Tail's dislike of her, she also did not have much feelings about it. After all, there were many people who disliked her, she was used to it.
When she was little, being passed around to various relatives’ homes, those little male cousins and little female cousins were not like adults who would hide their feelings. They directly showed that they did not welcome her, chasing her away.
She was a stranger intruder.
In the eyes of the little female cousins, she was the imaginary enemy, coming to snatch away the love of their parents.
She would always stand to one side, helpless, clenching the corners of her clothes, not knowing what to do.
That was someone else's home to begin with, why did there need to be one more person? The little kids had no reason to smile and welcome her, to accept her.
So when she sensed Gu Wen's unwelcoming attitude at Nanfeng Courtyard, she had a feeling of "oh, here it comes again".
There came another person who disliked her.
So, she was very skilled at keeping her distance from him.
It was not difficult at all, that was how she had avoided and kept her distance from the cousins of relatives when she was little.
After all, it was still fine if the children only disliked her verbally. Some male cousins would take the chance when adults were not looking to pinch her, hit her with their little fists.
She only needed to stay farther away.
When Gu Wen went into the room to feed their son Cold Spring, she would stand farther and farther away, and eventually, go straight to the balcony to get some air, only coming back after he left.
She had always seen herself as an intruder at Nanfeng Courtyard.
She had always seen herself as just a passerby at Nanfeng Courtyard.
Gu Wen seemed to mind her misunderstanding very much. He poured out so many words in one go, seeming so deeply hurt...
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." She had to apologize for this matter, she felt a little awkward: "I thought all along that the one you liked was White Tail."
"I like you." Gu Wen was disheartened, he took a deep breath, his thin lips pressed together lightly: "I only like you."
Gu Wen stared at her. Unable to hold back, he took a step forward. He had not intended to confess his feelings so quickly originally, but since the words were already said.
"Would you be my mate? I will be loyal to you for life. You can do anything you want."
"What you say, I will listen. Just afraid you won't say."
"What I have, I will give them all to you. Just afraid you don't want them."
"There are too many werewolves at Nanfeng Courtyard. We can move out to live wherever you want to live, everything is based on your feelings and experience first."
Without much consideration, Shang Xi shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't like you. Let's just stay as cooperating partners."
Her reply.
Gu Wen was not surprised.
He felt that this rushed and wretched confession was terribly awful.
He knew without thinking that Shang Xi would definitely not agree.
She did not have one bit of feelings for him.
She had been at Nanfeng Courtyard for so long already that from the very beginning, he had not started well. Doing a lot of wishful thinking things, digging pits for himself.
"Alright, let's not talk about these. Let's go to the hospital first."
Slowly, that's it. A mate still needs to be pursued.
Shang Xi opened her mouth: "Call the others..."
"They are not free."
Shang Xi: ......?
They were not free, but the main character of this birthday was free?
Her wound had just been bumped by the little wolf cub earlier, hurting for a moment. It did not hurt much anymore now.
Some blood had flowed, but not a lot.
Still need to go to the hospital to apply some medicine again, wrap a new piece of gauze.
At this time.
A cry of a cub sounded from afar.
"Mummy!!"
Not long ago, Baby Shang saw a group of cubs his age playing together. He was really curious. His little tail wagging, he silently walked over.
Then, the bunch of wolf cubs stopped playing and stared at him.
"Who are you?" A chubby little wolf cub with ears and tail revealed stared at the unfamiliar Baby Shang.
A little she-wolf cub wearing a dress asked: "Is your dad that super big--super big devil werewolf?"
"I heard that his dad is very fierce." The little wolf cub spread his arms and gestured: "That-----big, and also eats cubs!"
Baby Shang: "......"
He turned his head and took a look at his dad in the distance. He thought for a while and explained: "My dad does not eat cubs."
"I'm called Baby Shang."
"Is that your wolf mother? She doesn't smell like a werewolf at all, fully human scent."
Baby Shang pursed his little mouth: "She is my mum."
The rest are not important.
The little she-wolf girl said enviously: "Your mum is so beautiful! And not fierce at all."
"Mm." Baby Shang nodded seriously. His lips curled up a little: "My mum is the most beautiful."
The little she-wolf girl hopped around excitedly on the spot. Then she suddenly rushed over: "I want to go take a look at your mum!"
After running for a while, she saw Baby Shang's mum standing up and taking a step back. She couldn't stop in time and went "ow!" as she bumped into Baby Shang's mum's back.
Hearing Baby Shang's mum cry out in pain, she was panic-stricken. She had caused trouble! She had hurt her! She's done for, the she-wolf had told her not to run around... Would Baby Shang's devil werewolf dad eat her now wuwuwu...
As Gu Wen carried Shang Xi and nimbly leapt away, Baby Shang only saw his parents' backs. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran after them with his little short legs.
Wait wait, wait for him.
Mum, he couldn't keep up.
Then, he was picked up by a big hand. It was Knife Scar Face Uncle!
Baby Shang quite liked Knife Scar Face Uncle. He would always appear at times like these, carrying him as he went.
"Knife Scar Uncle! I want to find my mum."
"Alright little cub, hold on tight now."
Not long after following, Knife Scar Face Uncle stopped carrying him.
He was puzzled. Why did they stop?
"Looks like your parents have something to talk about. Let's wait here for a bit, okay?"
Baby Shang wrinkled his little brows, looking at his parents in the distance by the swimming pool: "Okay."
Then, he heard his dad saying emotionally that he liked mum.
He wrinkled his little brows: "My dad likes my mum."
"Little cub, do you want your dad and mum to be together? If they are together, your family will never separate again."
Baby Shang's little face was tense as he thought about it seriously. His little hand grabbing Cang Ling's hair: "What I want is not important. Mum will make her own decision."
And then he heard mum say she didn't like dad.
"Little cub, does your mum have someone she likes?"
Cang Ling paused for a bit: "Is that so?"
In the distance by the swimming pool, Gu Wen, who had just been rejected, twitched his ears. His gaze shifted to look sharply at the cub.
His heart thumped heavily.
Shang Xi had someone she liked?
Was it Rong Wen? It must be him right!
Then, he heard his beloved son say milkily and proudly: "My mum likes me. She has said it so so many times!"
Cang Ling......
Gu Wen: "......"
This little wolf cub!!
Seeing his parents about to leave again, Baby Shang started yelling hoarsely and ran over: "Mom!!"
Too far away, Shang Xi didn't hear it.
Gu Wen had a momentary impulse to pretend he didn't hear it either.
But, with the cub here, Shang Xi would definitely take him along to the hospital right?
Then, when Shang Xi heard her son's voice, Gu Wen spoke up: "Since the cub has come along too, I'll go get the car. I want to spend more time with him too."
Shang Xi looked at her cub running towards her and nodded, "Thanks."
Since Gu Wen had already said that, it would be awkward for her to politely decline.
Although, the current state of their relationship was a bit awkward.
After all, knowing that Gu Wen liked her was one thing, finding out about it was another matter entirely.
She would have to be more mindful of the distance between them when they interacted, to avoid misunderstandings.
If you don't like someone, don't give them false hope - that had always been her style.
