Chapter 159: The tender affection in those syllables made her think she imagined it (1)

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” Mr. Gray Wolf looked very serious as if he didn’t know anything. In contrast, she seemed like the guilty party with her plan to stroke his tail.
Regardless, after working hard all day, Ruan Qiuqiu was already very tired. She was torn for a few seconds before deciding that she might as well sleep in what she was wearing now.
Under the light of the fire, she looked at the handsome wolf who was wearing red-robes. She strangely felt as if tonight was their wedding night.
Wrapped only in a thin animal skin blanket, Ruan Qiuqiu actually felt a bit hot as she laid down in bed. Perhaps, it was because the firewood that Mr. Gray Wolf had brought back was too good.
After she had laid down, she felt a breeze next to her. Although there was a distance between them, his presence was very strong.
The cave quieted down. Ruan Qiuqiu felt sore all over. She closed her eyes and waited for the wolf to fall asleep.
The wolf had the same plan. He closed his eyes and waited for his wife to fall asleep. He paid attention to Ruan Qiuqiu’s breathing.
The human and wolf waited for each other. After an indeterminate amount of time passed – perhaps it was ten minutes, or maybe it was half an hour or even longer – Ruan Qiuqiu felt as if she was about to fall asleep. She shifted and stretched her hand towards the direction of the wolf’s tail.
Yuan Jue’s hearing was sharp; he sensed the change in her breathing, and he stopped moving his big hand.
His pointy ears shook. Yuan Jue thought of something, and his handsome face flushed.
While trying to adjust his breathing, Mr. Gray Wolf fiercely thought that if his wife touched him, he would definitely touch her back this time!
Ruan Qiuqiu quietly poked her head out the blanket. Her gaze fell on Yuan Jue’s good-looking face. She slowly sighed in relief, and then gently stretched her hand underneath Mr. Gray Wolf’s blanket and accurately found his tail.
Yuan Jue: “…!”
The furry tail in her hand trembled. Ruan Qiuqiu thought her stroking was too rough and immediately relaxed her strength. She just placed her hand on his tail and combed his fur with her fingers.
It was as if an electric charge frantically extended out from his tail and spread to his back. Yuan Jue felt as if his blood was about to boil over. His heart was beating wildly. Ruan Qiuqiu had only touched him a little bit, and he almost couldn’t stop from shifting.
She… She touched him again!
He couldn’t stop his fangs from coming out.
Did she not know that a demon’s tail was very sensitive? It couldn’t be casually touched.
Yuan Jue’s face was getting redder and redder.
Ruan Qiuqiu felt very comfortable patting him. She couldn’t resist extending her hand towards the middle of his tail.
When that happened, he couldn’t stop his eyebrows from jumping up. He pretended that he was oblivious to the sensation. He tried to hold back on saying Qiuqiu or wife. In the end, he finally restrained his heated emotions and lightly asked, “… Wife, what are you doing?”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “!?”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” Uh-oh. Wasn’t this wolf supposed to be deep asleep? Why did he wake up?
Hearing the wolf’s quiet voice, Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly flushed. For a moment, her mind went blank. She was surprised and embarrassed. She had no idea what to say.
Did he just call her wife? Did she mishear?
Ruan Qiuqiu bit her lip. Feeling extremely embarrassed, she pretended that it was an accident. Frazzled that she had been caught red-handed, she tried to find an excuse. “I… my hands felt itchy and I wanted to find something furry to rub against.”
Yuan Jue: “…”
Ruan Qiuqiu regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. There were so many furry things available. She could have just rubbed against one of the animal skin. And so, Ruan Qiuqiu tried to patch up the flaw in her excuse. “Husband’s tail is harder.”
Yuan Jue: “…”
