Chapter 171

Chapter 171

Zhou Ziyou was still quite surprised. She didn't expect Gray Tail would start buying a wedding house so quietly. Judging from his flushed face, he must have had someone in mind already.

A cub...

It seemed like his partner was pregnant?

He had to buy a house quickly then.

This guy hid it well, not showing any signs to her while she was complaining about being a single dog every day.

It was as if she thought Gray Tail was poor with no money, but he suddenly started buying a house. Turns out the only clown was her.

But she didn't ask him either.

Whether Gray Tail had some money or had a partner, he had no obligation to tell her anything.

However, didn't she remember this guy having some extra thoughts about her just a couple of days ago?

How did he suddenly get a partner?

Or... was what he said to her just a joke?

Okay, it doesn't matter anymore.

They each had their own lives.

Zhou Ziyou pursed her lips, looking at the photos on her phone. In the end, she chose a three-bedroom apartment with good lighting and a large balcony.

"I think this one isn't bad. You're a werewolf, so if you have cubs in the future, they can run around on the balcony."

Gray Tail nodded seriously, looking at the large balcony in the photos. He secretly curled his lips, as if he could already see the plump cubs running around on it.

Smelling the scent of another human male in the air, his joyful mood faded a bit.

He felt gloomy for a while, but then remembered Old Scar's words and regained his spirit. He'd take care of the present task first, buy the house, then learn to drive!

Zhou Ziyou was lucky enough to get out of being single and wanted to pursue the relationship seriously, but as time went by, she felt more and more that something was off.

Until a week later, during a meal, Zhou Li's phone was on the table. When he went to get her a drink, she accidentally glanced at the screen and saw a familiar blue dating app.

Zhou Ziyou didn't immediately recognize what app it was, but she had some impression of it before. Just as she was still trying to recall, Zhou Li came back.

She temporarily suppressed her doubts.

That night, Zhou Ziyou was playing on her phone with a face mask on when she saw some gay bloggers posting about the dating app. When she saw that familiar blue app, she was dumbfounded.

The app for connecting contacts and dating was called Blued, meaning 'blue' in Chinese, so it was nicknamed 'Little Blue'. She had seen it before, so it was familiar.

Zhou Li, a straight man, downloaded Little Blue for what?

Zhou Ziyou blinked, stunned. Something she had only seen online before seemed to be happening to her.

Could Zhou Li be... gay?ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

She didn't have any prejudice against that group. After all, we all just want to live happily, it's not her business. But this... this...

Zhou Ziyou blinked blankly, feeling uneasy inside. She had just gotten into a relationship, but... no way, right?

She tried to find several reasons for Zhou Li, but still couldn't convince herself.

Zhou Ziyou didn't fall asleep until almost dawn that night.

The next day, she and Zhou Li planned to go out for steak that evening. Zhou Ziyou didn't get up until noon, and this time when she went out, she didn't put as much effort into her outfit.

She wanted to check Zhou Li's phone, maybe she had seen it wrong? At the same time, she looked at Zhou Li with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

But once doubt crept in, even the most perfect performance would reveal cracks.

After eating steak, Zhou Li dropped her off downstairs. She got out of the car to leave, walked to a dark spot, then turned around to look. Zhou Li didn't immediately drive away.

He seemed to be taking a call, walking slowly, moving further and further away from the car, towards the lakeside.

It seemed that she needed Gray Tail more.

No, it was that in this world, anyone would live splendidly without her.

Zhou Ziyou felt dizzy and hot, but her heart ached even more.

When the phone rang.

Gray Tail was alone at home, silently staring at the photo of the smiling woman.

When he saw Zhou Ziyou's call, he froze for a moment before answering and putting the phone to his ear without a word.

Instead, there was some noise on the other end of the line, an auntie's voice came through: "Hey, are you this girl's brother? She's drunk, come pick her up, oh my, how can a young lady go out drinking..."

Gray Tail's expression changed.

When he arrived, he saw Zhou Ziyou slumped on the table, her bare feet exposed, mumbling incoherently with the smell of alcohol all over her.

Gray Tail frowned slightly, silently walking over.

Seeing Zhou Ziyou with her eyes closed and unconscious, he squatted down, picked up her shoes, lifted her feet, and gently tapped off the dirt before putting them on her feet.

He had no expression on his face, squatting there silently wiping the dirt off her feet, very quiet, only his ear tips turning a little red.

After putting on her shoes, he carried her away on his back.

Zhou Ziyou was in a daze, feeling like she was on someone's back, shaking her feet and sensing something was off: "Who are you? I don't know you, where are you taking me?"

"Put me down, I'm warning you!" She grabbed his hair with one hand: "Put me down right now! You scumbag!"

There were so many bad people lately, she thought.

Gray Tail patiently explained, "I'm not a scumbag, I'm taking you home."

But the drunken woman didn't listen to him at all and kept squirming on his back.

Gray Tail carried her for a while before saying in a muffled voice, "Don't cause any more trouble, just listen to me."

Then, his head was slapped with a loud smack.

Gray Tail was stunned by the slap.

The woman on his back still brazenly said, "It's your own fault for not putting me down."

Gray Tail pursed his lips, took a deep breath, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

He carried the drunken her, holding her bag, having to endure her swaying back and forth, and even getting slapped in the head by her.

Gray Tail kept his head down and walked, slowly opening up: "...The house is all set."

"...I've also started learning to drive."

"Today I ate pork..."

"...What kind of bed do you like?"

"When did you...break up with him?"

"...Why did you drink?"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that was a bit clearer, as Zhou Ziyou understood and angrily replied: "What, am I not allowed to drink? That idiot dared to cheat on me! He likes men! I'm drowning my sorrows in alcohol!"

After saying that, she lay back down on Gray Tail's back, feeling miserable: "Wah wah wah, I'm single again! Why am I so unlucky!"

Gray Tail stopped walking, stunned for a moment, then softly said, "I see, how pitiful."

"They're really bad people."

At the same time, he faintly curled the corner of his lips, thinking that Scar-face was indeed formidable.

In life, everyone should keep their eyes open and not be a naive woman who gets deceived. This world has too many bad people, ladies should protect yourselves.•́‸ก
