Chapter 71
The Little Wolf Cub obediently let Shang Xi hold him in her arms. Shang Xi had the illusion that she had returned to the time before her son was one year old.
Holding her son like this, slowly strolling and rocking him.
Seeing his cute white little face, she felt happy.
The wolf people of Snow Mountain were indeed different from the ordinary wolves in the wild. Wild wolves were equivalent to over 50 years old when they reached 4 years old. Her son was nearly 5 years old, transformed into a pure wolf form, yet he was still a Little Wolf Cub.
After holding him for a while, she reluctantly put him down.
Her arms couldn't hold out any longer.
After all, this little guy weighed over 40 kilograms. She usually moved things around and had strength. That's how she held him for so long.
But it seemed that it was from this day onwards that her son started frequently revealing his pure wolf form in front of her. When bathing, he would swim around in the bathtub and let Shang Xi use a hairdryer to blow his fur dry. After she dried him, the Little Wolf Cub would fall asleep.
Shang Xi was extremely happy about this. She liked little puppies and kittens since she was young. She didn't expect to live out this dream with her son years later.
At this moment, Gu Wen divided areas in the lake. The left was the shallow water area, and the right was the deep water area which was off limits.
He first let the cubs swim for a bit to gauge their swimming abilities. The result... the Little Wolf Cub seemed tireless, paddling and splashing water everywhere with his little short legs. He swam swiftly to the opposite shore and back again.
Both of his little ears were wet, and his short black fur clung damply to his body. He didn't look much thinner, as expected he was solidly built.
A flash of satisfaction passed through Gu Wen's eyes. As a wolf person, he was very clear about the swimming abilities of cubs, and this one was not bad.
Shang Xi was stunned.
She didn't know her son could swim so well.
To exaggerate a bit, he was like a little motorboat.
"Cub is so amazing!" She clapped her hands. "Wow! Whose cub is this amazing?"
"Awooo... Awooo!" The Little Wolf Cub was smug. The next second, his eyes glinted sharply as he suddenly bit down into the water's surface.
Shang Xi was watching her son's movements by the lakeside. She was startled for a moment. "Cub, did you catch a fish?"
The Little Wolf Cub silently turned his back to his mother, opened his big mouth, and swallowed the little white fish in his mouth in one gulp.
The tender fish meat, the fishy taste of blood, the vitality of the struggling prey caused the blackness in his eyes to deepen for a moment, with a faint flash of green light.
Something in his body suddenly boiled over.
He licked his fangs. It wasn't enough. He still wanted to eat more. He glanced at his mother by the shore, gave a low whimper, and swam away.
Shang Xi was startled for a moment and instinctively called out, "Cub..."
"Don't bother him." Gu Wen stared at the little one splashing in the lake. The little guy caught another fish again. He turned his back to them as he chomped away with big mouthfuls.
"His primal instincts are starting to affect him. He'll be listless if he only eats cooked food. Can you... accept that?" Gu Wen looked at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the little one far out on the lake surface, and said, "What do I have that I can't accept? I can't accept him going hungry with an empty stomach."
Her son was a wolf cub. Eating like this was very normal, wasn't it? Was she supposed to make him gnaw on vegetables?
Gu Wen lowered his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said solemnly, "You're really good."
???
Shang Xi got goosebumps all over. She frowned and glanced at him, completely confused. "Just this? You think I'm good just because of this? I'm his mother. Isn't this to be expected?"
"Not every mother is like you."
Gu Wen often interacted with wolf people and pure humans in the human world, and had seen all kinds of people.
"About ten years ago, a purely human woman fell in love with a wolf man. They got married and had a cub. But she couldn't accept the cub's ears and tail, and only allowed the cub to reveal his human form, feeding him only cooked food.
Later, when the cub was 5 years old, he caught a snake in the bushes and ate it secretly. The woman discovered it."
"Then what happened?" Shang Xi couldn't help asking.
Gu Wen's eyes were very dark and deep. His thin lips pressed together for a moment before he slowly said, "That woman screamed as if she saw a monster. She beat the cub to death."
Shang Xi's eyes widened.
She was speechless for a long time.
She clutched her chest, feeling a stab of pain.
As a mother, she couldn't bear to hear such things.
She couldn't imagine how that woman could do it.
"What about... what about the wolf man? Was he out working then?"
"Mm." Gu Wen recalled the wolf man who had come to the Gu family mansion. He knew a group of tribesmen wanted to return to Snow Mountain and would gather at the Gu family. He was silent, eyes red and swollen, as if despairing of the whole world. He sat alone holding his dead cub, ignoring anyone who spoke to him. He was still alive but already dead inside.
The wolf man wouldn't have expected that the human companion who didn't mind he was a wolf man when they fell in love, couldn't accept it after giving birth to a wolf cub.
When she was harsh with the cub, out of love for his companion, the wolf man didn't dare speak up. He watched the companion who grew more and more unfamiliar, of course he was in pain, he just never could have imagined she would kill their cub.
Completely disheartened and in despair, the wolf man held his dead cub and returned to Snow Mountain.
Pure humans were too fickle.
They could never give wolf people complete sense of security.
When in love, they loved to death. When love faded, they became like enemies, never contacting each other until they died.
Every wolf person who chose a pure human as a mate was truly in love.
Willing to offer their neck to their partner's knife.
"What happened to that woman afterwards?" Shang Xi clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "Did she regret it?"
"She married again." There was no ridicule or anger in Gu Wen's eyes, perhaps he was used to it.
He looked at Shang Xi, and her shadow appeared in his deep dark eyes.
"You really are very good."
"Not just this matter, every aspect of you is very good."
"You are a uniquely precious and hard to find purely human woman."
He said this so solemnly.
This time Shang Xi didn't get goosebumps. She just averted her gaze.
Was she that good?
What she did was just what a normal person would do.
Receiving such high praise from Gu Wen left her with some indescribable feelings.
The next second, she stopped.
Speaking of which, this lone wolf wasn't just saying some nice words to flatter her, was he?
He had just confessed to her!
Shang Xi sobered up. Her pursuers showered her with sweet nothings and lavish praises without end, which she adamantly rejected.
How could a simple two sentences from Gu Wen make her pause?
Shang!! Xi!!
Please be more alert and wary!
Although he is a wolf man, he is still a male wolf man!
Using the same tactics as men who pursue women!
And so...
She scooted a few steps away and gave a noncommittal "Mm."
