Yuan Jue thought it wouldn’t be good to directly ask Ruan Qiuqiu if his tail was softer and warmer than gray wolf Tianluo’s. He could only quietly calm the fierce beating of his jealous heart. He slowly sat up with the support of his arms.
While Yuan Jue tried very hard to overcome the pain he was feeling and sit up, Ruan Qiuqiu felt her cheeks becoming hot as she looked at him. His soft, black hair was hanging down on his bare back. She could see his beautiful shoulder blades and the scary-looking scars.
She put the egg down on the stone table and picked up the animal skin clothing she had previously made for him. The clothes had been washed and took a lot of effort to dry. Her voice sounded somewhat unnatural as she offered, “Husband, here, put on these clothes.”
Yuan Jue: “…”
He had forgotten. He was a naked wolf.
The blush on the tips of his ears grew more prominent.
Most male demons were rough. Still, he would always properly wear clothes and no one had seen him half-naked before.
Why did he keep forgetting to wear clothes in front of Ruan Qiuqiu? He was always acting like a hoodlum in front of her.
With open eyes, Yuan Jue endured the pain of rubbing his stump on the animal skin sheet and sat up.
He pressed his lips tightly together to prevent shameful sounds from coming out due to pain. He turned towards the direction that Ruan Qiuqiu’s voice had come from and slowly stretched his hand out to take the animal skin clothing from her.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw that Mr. Gray Wolf’s out-of-focus gaze was obviously looking in the wrong spot and how his long hand was tentatively reaching out in a fumbling manner. She felt bad for him. She couldn’t bear to just stand there and wait. She put the animal skin clothing in his hand.
When the soft animal skin clothing touched his big palm, Ruan Qiuqiu could clearly see that Mr. Gray Wolf’s brow relaxed a bit.
Yuan Jue’s body was racked with pain, but he still did his best to keep his back straight in front of his little wife and his voice from sounding shaky when he said, “Thank you.”
She looked at his slightly open eyes, his tightly pressed lips, and how his hands fumbled on the animal skin clothing as if he was looking for a way to put it on. She wanted to step forward to help him.
However, she thought of that day when he had been vomiting blood and pretended to be unconscious to preserve his dignity and his recent thank you. And she stopped herself.
“No problem. Um, I’ll go out to get some extra snow…” Ruan Qiuqiu turned around and left the cave with a wooden basin.
Hearing her footsteps go far, Yuan Jue finally slightly leaned over. He silently gasped in pain and felt warm liquid flowing down his back as well as his stump. It was blood, thick blood with pus. It was a reminder of how dire his situation was.
All he had done was sit up using his own strength and put on a piece of clothing, and it caused him so much pain that he was about to faint. He couldn’t do anything. He even ended up dirting the animal skin.
She was already working so hard, but he couldn’t help her with anything.
Yuan Jue’s eyes dimmed and the outer corners of his eyes redden. He gritted his teeth.
When Ruan Qiuqiu came back, Mr. Gray Wolf had already finished putting on the clothing and was half-leaning against the stone wall.
He heard the sound of movement and turned his head. His long and slender, phoenix eyes swept over there in bewilderment. His thin lips were paler than before.
This was the first time Mr. Gray Wolf wasn’t pretending to be unconscious. Faced with his unfocused gray-blue eyes, Ruan Qiuqiu clearly realized that her gray wolf Tianluo was truly blind.
His expression was very calm and even a bit cold. His previously pink-tipped ears were no longer pink.
Ruan Qiuqiu thought he looked so distant and sad. She spoke in a voice more cheerful than she actually felt, “I dug a trap in the snow today. I didn’t catch any prey, but I was lucky enough to find an egg in it…”
