Chapter 32: It should be fine to share a bed... right? (1)
Ruan Qiuqiu had already decided that if Mr. Gray Wolf was still clenching his teeth and wouldn’t swallow down the food, she could only hold his chin down and pour the food down his throat.
To her surprise, Mr. Gray Wolf was very cooperative this time.
Perhaps, he instinctively swallowed the food because his body was so starved. It didn’t take long for her to finish feeding him the bowl of questionable-looking food.
His teeth gently bumped against the wooden spoon. That clear sound echoed in the cave that was gradually warming up.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw that Mr. Gray Wolf’s deathly pale face had regained some color after she had fed him the food. There was a strange feeling in her heart.
He was using the wooden spoon that she used earlier…
Her gaze inadvertently fell on Mr. Gray Wolf’s face. It felt as if there was a beam of warm light that shone on his pale lips in the dimly lit cave. Her fingertips that had touched his lips earlier felt slightly heated.
Ruan Qiuqiu felt that she was being strange and shook those thoughts away. She washed the wooden spoon and bowls before putting them away.
The boiling hot water in the wooden basin had already cooled to a comfortable temperature. Ruan Qiuqiu was going to use this water to give herself and Mr. Gray Wolf a simple cleaning.
Her wolf husband’s face had been pretty clean to begin with.
Based on her interactions with Mr. Gray Wolf today, Ruan Qiuqiu guessed that he must have been a very honorable gray wolf in the past.
Although he looked fierce, he also had beautiful silvery gray fur in his demon form. His demon form was so big and impressive. Did he like to stand on top of the cave and howl? In his free time, did he like to raise his paws and wash his furry face?
Ruan Qiuqiu giggled a bit from the images she pictured. Holding the moistened soft animal skin, she moved his hair on the side to wipe away the blood that slowly dripped down from his scar.
She quirked her lips. At the same, she felt that his situation was so bleak.
If she hadn’t agreed to marry him, would this gray wolf silently endure pain and hunger in this cold cave until he slowly passed away?
The novel had glossed over Mr. Gray Wolf’s ending. Up to the part that she had read, it wasn’t clear if he had died. Nothing was written about his future.
It was because they were the same. They were dispensable supporting characters in the novel.
The quietness in the cave was awful. Ruan Qiuqiu glanced over at Mr. Gray Wolf’s handsome face, which looked a bit nefarious because of the scar. A while later, she slowly said, “Mr. Food Reserve, I’m sure with proper care, you’ll slowly be able to put on weight.”
She had heard that demon wolf meat was astringent and tough. Besides, she didn’t want to eat wolf meat anyways.
However… If he gained weight, then the next time that Mr. Gray Wolf became a wolf cub, would he look cuter?
It would probably be a very happy feeling to place your hand on a wolf cub’s fluffy and chubby belly.
Ruan Qiuqiu thought these were silly thoughts. Mr. Gray Wolf didn’t seem to like her at all right now. There may never be a day when she would get to rub his belly.
After cleaning Mr. Gray Wolf’s face, Ruan Qiuqiu checked his injuries again.
Then, she took some of the long-lasting firewood and placed a small amount into the stone stove. This way, even if she slept all night, the fire wouldn’t burn out or spread.
