From the moment I fell in love with you, I've been abno

owl's thin lips tightened, he only said two words, "Sorry.""It's nothing to apologize for, I was happy to do it. Alright, don't say more, let me get you some ribs soup, I simmered it for a long time....Gu Liechen lowered his head and lightly kissed Hou Shao's hand, holding her in his arms and closing his eyes to sleep soundly.

The afternoon sun was sultry and dry, shut out by the drawn curtains, not affecting the person sleeping soundly inside.

At some point, Hou Shao slowly opened his eyes and awoke from his slumber.

She hadn't slept this long, this deeply, and this tired in ages. Her entire body felt as if it had been run over by a truck; even a good night's sleep couldn't alleviate the ache throughout her limbs.

Hou Shao slightly tilted her head, looking at Gu Liechen's jaw with a hint of stubble. A warmth bloomed in her heart. She raised her hand to touch it, but as she glanced at the glittering ring on his nameless finger, she paused.

She held her finger up to her eyes, staring in disbelief at the ring. For a moment, she couldn't believe it, and she reached out with her other hand to touch it, afraid it was just a trick of the light, or a figment of her imagination.

Her fingers brushed against the slightly raised facets, proving this was a real ring. Hou Shao was overjoyed and turned back to look at Gu Liechen, who was still asleep. She excitedly wanted to wake him up and ask when he prepared it and when he put it on her.

But she still suppressed her excitement, thinking that he was still weak and that rest was the priority. She completely forgot about how powerfully and relentlessly he had exhausted her the night before.

Hou Shao carefully sat up, holding the ring with both hands and admiring it. She lowered her hand and touched it with her other hand. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, the happier she became, and the deeper her love grew in her heart.

"Like it" Gu Liechen's voice, softly echoed behind her.

Hou Shao turned back, and the man who had just been sleeping soundly was now staring at her with a pair of obsidian eyes. Her gaze met his, plunging into his black depths.

"Are you awake"

"Well, I just woke up," Gu Liechen said as he leaned sideways and propped himself up, leaning against the bed just like Hou Shao. He smiled brightly and pulled over Hou Shao's hand that was wearing the ring.

Hou Shao looked at him, couldn't help but ask, "When did you put it on me How come I don't know."

Gu Liechen smiled and said, “You fainted from exhaustion yesterday, so you naturally didn’t know.”

Hou Shao choked back a retort, glared defiantly at Gu Liechen, wanting to pull her hand with the ring back, but Gu Liechen held on tightly. She stubbornly replied, "I haven't been resting well these past few days, so my stamina naturally can't keep up."

"I know." Gu Liechen nodded with an understanding expression. Under Hou Shao's puzzled gaze, he curled his lips and chuckled softly, "I understand what you mean by 'like a wolf.'"

"Gu Liechen!" Hou Shao was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but shout, reaching out to hit Gu Liechen, "Shut your mouth, you wolf!"

"Good." Gu Liechen grasped the hand that Hou Shao had thrown at his chest, looking at the flushed and spring-like Hou Shao with a smile, his Adam's apple bobbing, "I'll treat you like a wolf from now on."

Hou Shao heard the subtext in Gu Liechen's words and bit her teeth, shouting, "Gu Liechen!"

Gu Liechen's handsome face was full of innocence, "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, you can try."

Hou Shao really wanted to slap him in the face, but her hands were being held by the man. She angrily said, "Let go!"

"Let go of me, you bastard." Gu Liechen shook his head, tightening his grip.

Hou Shao gritted his teeth, unable to withdraw his hand, and asked loudly, "When did you become like this"

Gu Liechen continued to brazenly say, "From the moment I fell in love with you, I haven't been normal."antage. He could sow discord between Hou Shao and the organization, making Hou Shao even more determined to leave. 。Gu Liechen was so sure because the group of people had chosen barn owls as bait inst...
