That little fluffy wolf voluntarily curled into her arms. Yuan Xiang’s heart softened. The wolf she had worked so hard for had finally been coaxed by her.
Nan He had always been very repulsive to her closeness. Except when being injured and unconscious, most of the time, even if he was very comfortable, he growled a few times to express his resistance. This was the first time he took the initiative to get close to her.
She stood up with the soft wolf in her arms, almost wanting to run a few laps in place happily.
The magical thing was that after a whole night, half the wounds on Nan He’s body had healed on its own. Even the ugly place that was bald because of the burns had become dense again. This may be the effect of reshaping during the skeletal phase. At the same time, his body got rid of a lot of filth, which was a little slimy and exuded an unfriendly smell.
Should she give Xia Nan something warm, or take him to bathe first?
Yuan Xiang walked into the house while touching his fur, only to find that Nan He collapsed in her arms.
Yuan Xiang was both distressed and a little guilty. At first, she brought back the seriously injured Nan He in order to heal his injuries, but then she left and went to the mountain. Therefore, because he was worried about her, he followed her and fought against that powerful demon regardless of his injuries. After coming back, perhaps because of the fierce battle, he fell into the forging process of the skeletal phase and endured the torture all night.
She brought Nan He back to the house and carefully put him on his cushion. Probably because of excessive fatigue and long-term pain, Nan He was not sleeping peacefully and his small limbs twitched and jerked from time to time.
Yuan Xiang, who had been sitting in the cold all night, laid on her bed, pulled Nan He’s small cushion next to her and stretched out her hand to gently smooth the hair on his back, so as to comfort him. The little wolf moved unconsciously in his sleep and slowly snuggled up to her side.
Yuan Xiang thought about it carefully. She had done nothing but trivial things for Xiao Nan.
But Nan He’s kindness toward her and dependence on her could clearly tell that he liked the feeling of being needed.
In fact, she understood Nan He very well as she was like him before meeting Shifu and his wife, not being noticed by anyone, nor needed by anyone. But the more lonely they were, the more afraid they were that others would see their fragility, so they always tried to be perfect, pretending to be arrogant, but were actually healing their own wounds alone every night, longing for someone who could truly bring them warmth.
Once someone gave a little warmth, they couldn’t help but want to double the reward, wanting to please that person.
Using his limited knowledge of humans, he remembered that she liked lamb, mushrooms and colorful things. Even though he was in a dangerous environment and was going through his hardest time, he always ran a long way to put the best food he hunted on her doorstep.
Yuan Xiang still remembered how he swooped over her head in the form of a giant wolf. He was obviously seriously injured and faced a very powerful enemy, but he dragged the enemy away from the area where she was in. He was covered in blood and fled the battlefield with her on his back.
When he was injured, he was afraid that she would see it. After he recovered his beautiful hair, he crawled onto her knees softly.
Yuan Xiang’s fingers passed through the soft hair, stroking the somewhat thin spine. She just wanted to treat him better, let him know that this world was not only cold and lonely, let him experience the warmth in this world.
Nan He was sleeping very restlessly, but couldn’t wake up. In his sleep, meteors slid from the sky one by one and fell on him. He shivered subconsciously, ready to welcome the severe pain. But the imaginary pain never came. He was always in a warm and comfortable place, with soft fingers touching his skin. He wanted to completely let go of his whole body and relax.
This made him very uneasy. He should hide in a cold cave or in a dark tree hole, with his ears erected to guard against enemies that might appear at any time. How could he be so relieved? How could he be so warm? Why was it that even if someone touched his body, he could still sleep peacefully without waking up?
Nan He opened his eyes at once and finally remembered where he was. He got out of a soft arm, looked carefully and found himself surrounded by a warm embrace. The human put one hand under his head and one hand on his back, bending her body to protect him in her arms and slept soundly.
The previous night, after the fierce battle, it triggered the first washing and reshaping of the physical body by the star power. Without the supplement of Qi, he was in a lot of pain. Unable to bear the pain and loneliness, he ran back to her yard.
In order to help him relieve his pain and to accompany him, this human sat outside the door of the wood house all night in the cold snowy night.
Nan He raised his head and silently looked at the face that was close at hand. He liked this moment the most. He could watch her quietly, without being disturbed, without being nervous or cramped. He could watch as long as he wanted.
From outside the house came the sound of roosters and dog barking in the courtyard and the lynx ran over from the roof tiles, leaving behind a string of fine steps.
“Xiang’er, I am going to the market. Take a good look at the house,” Ru Shi shouted in the courtyard. The door was pushed open with a creak and closed again.
This was a lively world, warm and comfortable. He knew this was not his own world, but he longed for the warmth and the excitement too much.
The skin of that face was radiant with a healthy glow and the eyelashes cast a clear shadow on it. Her breath faintly touched his heart.
He moved closer, imagining that there should be his favorite sweet scent. At that moment, he wrinkled his nose and smelled a strange smell in the air.
