Chapter 84: He obediently lied in bed just because she had left an egg on his tail? (1)
Trembling from the cold, Ruan Qiuqiu came back after taking a bath in the storage room. She had changed into her last set of clean animal skin clothing. By now, Yuan Jue had already carefully warmed up the egg.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t know that he had undergone a violent struggle. With her lips quirked up, she called out, “Husband? Are you awake?”
Drying her wet hair, she immediately noticed that the wolf’s ears were shaking violently. Sure enough, poor actor Mr. Gray Wolf was awake.
Ruan Qiuqiu walked into the room in a good mood. She thought he would pretend to be unconscious like before, and she went along with it.
To her surprise, when she came back to the bedroom with the wooden basin, as she lifted the animal skin curtain, the scarred wolf demon responded to her earlier question.
“I’m awake.” A low, hoarse voice that was completely different from a woman’s voice sounded. His voice fluttered into her ears and left her feeling stunned.
She opened her eyes wider. Her hand paused in lifting the animal skin curtain. She felt somewhat embarrassed that she hadn’t brushed her hair and her look was messy overall.
“Ah, you’re awake…” Ruan Qiuqiu scratched her cheek. Once she recovered from her surprise, she hastily put down the animal skin curtain. “I finished washing up.”
Ruan Qiuqiu saw the wolf demon’s long eyelashes trembling and his ears shaking. It looked as if he wanted to sit up, but he didn’t move.
Ruan Qiuqiu assumed it was because he was in too much pain. No longer caring about feeling embarrassed, she walked in, put the wooden basin down on the stone table, and said as gently as possible, “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
Yuan Jue was silent for a few seconds. His ears folded down. His unfocused eyes opened, and his brow was furrowed. It looked as if it took him an enormous amount of energy to say with gritted teeth, “Egg.”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “… Huh?”
Dumbfounded for a few seconds, she suddenly remembered what she did with his tail before she went to take a bath. Overcome with embarrassment, she blushed.
Yuan Jue obviously found it too awkward to repeat himself. Not daring to move, he only pressed his lips tightly together and continued lying in bed with a very stiff posture.
She found it both amusing and sad. He obediently lied in bed just because she had left an egg on his tail?
Ruan Qiuqiu quickly blinked. She sneaked a glance at Mr. Gray Wolf’s tinged pink ears. She lightly coughed and walked towards the bed. In a quiet voice, she explained herself, “… I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll take the egg off now.”
Little liar Ruan Qiuqiu said she didn’t do it deliberately, but it had been intentional. She was so bad. She didn’t know why gray wolf Tianluo was so well-behaved, but as she took the egg off his tail, she took advantage of this to surreptitiously stroke his tail.
When her slightly hot fingertips touched his tail, it felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Yuan Jue’s eyes turned slightly red and the tips of his ears turned redder too. He violently trembled for a moment and an embarrassing whimper almost escaped.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw that he was shaking and assumed that his tail was hurting because she had curled it earlier. She immediately blamed herself. “… Does it hurt if your tail is curled?”
The wolf whose big tail didn’t hurt at all, but was worried about passing the test: “…”
As Ruan Qiuqiu asked that question, she very gently straightened Mr. Gray Wolf’s curled tail. It felt so soft. At that moment, she felt him shaking even more.
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t dare to touch his tail anymore. She raised her head and saw the sweat on his furrowed forehead and his pale thin lips. Assuming these were signs of pain, she felt even more guilty and blamed herself. “Sorry…”
Yuan Jue, who was hot all over because of her touch: “…”
