Chapter 66: The Wolf King's Love
The Wolf King laid stubbornly on the ground, refusing to budge an inch. He whimpered, seemingly to beg Lin Si Yao to let him in.
Lin Si Yao kept his stare for a long time. Finally, he sighed, and turned around. "Don't break anything, and don't howl." He allowed him in the cabin.
The wolf happily swayed his tail as he leaped to the door, and obediently sat down to wait for Lin Si Yao.
Lin Si Yao looked up to the sky in exasperation, and sighed again to the pale crescent above.
It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but more so the fear of the Wolf King's capabilities. The courtyard walls barely counted as an obstacle to the wolf if he really wanted to get in.
The wolf probably did this in consideration of Xiao Xue. To become the alpha of a region, it didn't solely rely on a pelt of royal, shining silver fur, a compelling atmosphere, or a powerful frame. The king possessed intelligence close enough to be compared to humans.
If he were to become anxious, who knows what harm he could cause to his household and woman, Su Shuilian?
With this first visit, surely there would be a second time, so Lin Si Yao decided to have Xiao Xue and Xiao Chun urge him to not come down the mountain again. There was enough fear towards wolves by the villagers for it to ruin their peaceful home.
Lin Si Yao walked to the expectant Wolf King, opened the door, and let him in.
"Awooo..."
"Awooo..."
"Awooo..."
The three wolves touched snouts, leapt around and exchanged greetings.
Lin Si Yao left a small crack open in the door on purpose.
He turned around to meet the Wolf King's luminescent eyes, and dryly reminded: "Leave before midnight, and avoid the villagers. If you can't do that, then you won't see Xiao Xue ever again." Although, he was sure that no villagers would be out at night with this bitter cold, he wasn't ready to take any chances.
He didn't care to confirm whether the Wolf King understood him or not, and walked away into the bedroom while closing the door behind him.
The three wolves looked at each other, laid down in their previous positions, and resumed discussing.
"I heard your voice, and was just about to come out. Is it about Xiao Xue?" Lin Si Yao met Su Shuilian's inquiring gaze as he walked in.
"No, there's nothing wrong. I just informed her about some things." Lin Si Yao didn't tell her about the Wolf King so she wouldn't have another thing to worry about.
He rubbed her small, chilly hands, and pulled her into the warm, thick blankets. He stripped to his sweatshirt, and held her while leaning against the head of the bed.
His hand slipped around her neck, and the other squeezed at her shoulders, they were sore and stiff from embroidering all day.
Of course, unless there was some circumstance like if she was on her period, his massages would eventually turn into irresistible teases. In less than half an hour, he was on top of her....
The morning arrived, but the sky remained as dark as night. The dim moonlight shone through the sparse curtains, so there was no need to light a lamp.
Lin Si Yao woke up by habit, and wondered whether the Wolf King really abided by his orders, and returned to Dashi Mountain.
So, right after he tucked the sleeping Su Shuilian in the covers and snuck in a light kiss, he put on the light coat she had laid down for him on the low cabinet. And snuck into the living room without a sound.
