Chapter 109

Gu Wen looked at the plump little wolf cub and scoffed.

"Lie on the bed and drink some cold spring water."

This big already, yet still acting spoiled in his mother's embrace.

No matter how he looked at it, it felt unpleasant.

Shang Xi cradled the heavy cub and placed it on the bed. The little wolf cub rolled around on the large bed, transforming into a human form, and took the cold spring water from his father's hand, gulping it down noisily.

After a few gulps, he licked his small lips, unsatisfied.

He turned his back, sticking out his little bottom, and twisted his head around, deliberately refusing to look at his father.

Gu Wen's brow furrowed ever so slightly.

This little cub.

After Baby Shang fell asleep.

The room was extremely quiet.

Gu Wen had not left yet.

Shang Xi glanced at him, "I need to rest."

Gu Wen spoke without any change in expression, "I want to look at the cub a little more."

"..."

Shang Xi was speechless, thinking, weren't you not even looking at him?

Afraid of waking her son, she lowered her voice, "You can look at him again tomorrow."

Gu Wen stared at her, his gaze deep and somber, "Just a little while longer."

Shang Xi's breath hitched, her ears burning.

No matter how dull she was, she understood Gu Wen's meaning.

"You can look slowly." She took large strides towards the balcony, not caring anymore.

Humans wishing upon shooting stars, it's a form of spiritual solace, isn't it?

Shang Xi's voice softened, the light in her eyes fading, "I guess it came half true."

Gu Wen's thin lips parted, and in that moment, his heart trembled, "There are no shooting stars tonight."

"But Shang Xi, can I be your shooting star?"

Shang Xi widened her eyes, stunned for a moment, before turning to look at him, "What do you mean?"

Gu Wen said, "If you want to make a wish, tell me what you want."

"I want to be the shooting star you see."

Shang Xi fell silent for a moment, then shook her head gently.

"Right now, I only wish for the cub's health. As for anything else, I have no desires left."

"Really nothing at all?" Gu Wen gazed at her, his tone softening, "Like, do you want to go back to school?"

Shang Xi's eyes widened, and she shook her head vehemently, "I don't, I don't want to, I can't go back..."

"You can go back." Gu Wen's voice was low and resolute, carrying a sense of power.

"As long as you want to."

Shang Xi's lips trembled, her hands clasped together.

When nervous or afraid, she would clasp her hands together, fidgeting anxiously, as if hoping someone would reach out and pull her along, but no one ever did. She could only hold her own hands.

University...

Her unfinished dream.

She had forced herself to forget it.

But Gu Wen brought up that dream again.

Oh my, just sixteen seconds left until I have to eat shi. Thank you, my treasures, for your support and little gifts ⸜(๑'ᴗ'๑)⸝⋆*

If I don't update two chapters tomorrow, I'll livestream eating shi. (Sorry, this has really become my motivation... it really works...)
