Gentle Beast

“No, nothing,” Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu mumbled, having a guilty conscience as she got in the car.

She didn’t know how to explain it to Ryan. She had never thought she would one day buy something like that herself.

The small box in her left pocket burned like a hot potato and her ears flushed red.

But, what other solution did she have?

Other people’s boyfriends were well prepared in advance, only her “boyfriend” had no concept of contraception.

Along with Ryan’s frequent desires, if she did not take precaution, then she would soon get pregnant.

But she didn’t want to have a baby so soon. . .

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu’s heart was tangled.

Fortunately, Ryan did not ask, presumably already accustomed to the strangeness of the human world, and his gaze shifted elsewhere. His tail could not wait to sweep out from behind, curling through the window to dangle loosely toward the ground.

After hiding it for the entire day, it finally had the opportunity to be let out.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu had originally intended to go home directly, but seeing Ryan’s tail, she remembered that she still hadn’t gone to get Gǔn Gǔn despite being back for so many days already.

Quickly turning the car, she turned toward her friend’s house.

Her friend had taken good care of Gǔn Gǔn for two months.

Gǔn Gǔn had long forgotten that Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu had abandoned him, and when she appeared, he meowed and enthusiastically ran toward her.

Unfortunately, he was stopped in the air by an arm.

Ryan’s hand closed around Gǔn Gǔn’s neck, and he indifferently looked at it, asking, “Who’s this stupid cat?”

Hanging in the air, Gǔn Gǔn meowed restlessly, flopping about trying to escape his hand.

“His name is Gǔn Gǔn, and he’s my pet,” Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu wanted to rescue the cat from his hand, thinking then she added, “And he’s not stupid. He’s very smart.”

“Male?” Ryan licked his lips and lowered his voice.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu’s hands on the steering wheel stalled slightly and she nodded.

Then, she saw Ryan open the window and raise his hand to throw the cat right out the window.

“Ryan!” Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu hurriedly parked the car at the side of the road, frightened, “Gǔn Gǔn is just a cat, even if he’s male, it’s just an animal that doesn’t know anything. You can’t treat him like that. . .” She said so and grabbed Gǔn Gǔn from his hand.

“I am also an animal,” Ryan looked at her with a stark contrast to her anxiety, reminding her, “Leopard.”

“But, you can become a man. . .” She subconsciously explained, then halfway suddenly understood why Ryan cared.

She set Gǔn Gǔn in the back seat and turned dark eyes at him, “And, you’re not like Gǔn Gǔn.”

Ryan’s eyes narrowed, “Where aren’t we the same?”

"Gǔn Gǔn is my pet,” Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu bit her lip, seemingly embarrassed to say her next words, “You are my favorite person. . .”

A layer of blush colored the girl’s cheeks, like raindrops suddenly falling in the dry desert, instantly nourishing his dry heart.

Ryan held her waist and legs then kissed her at the corner of her mouth and sternly asked, “How much?”

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu tilted her head, the kiss was itchy, and she shyly answered, “Won’t tell you.”

Ryan kissed her lips and twisted into her mouth, searching out her soft tongue to bite it.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu gasped and lifted her hands to push him away, but she was even more forcibly kissed.

. . .

The two girls walked along laughing the entire way and came to the school gate where they heard a noise up front.

The two looked up and saw the students at the entrance of the school were frightened and avoiding it.

There stood a large wild dog baring his teeth and growling.

The dog was infamous at the school and very hostile. Usually the students that saw it were desperate to hide.

Today, somehow, the wild dog suddenly went to the entrance of the school and was barking at one person more than the others.

The man opposite it wore a black overcoat and his long legs were propped on the ground as he leaned against the gate, his brows cold and expressionless.

He seemed to be waiting for someone and his blue eyes slightly rotated through the crowd, bored.

The dog barked so loudly in front of him but he didn’t even set eyes on it.

It wasn’t until the dog’s teeth came close to him that he raised a leg and stepped on its head.

The dog was put in place, pushing at his front paws but couldn't even move.

“Woof, woof——”

The man finally set eyes on it and emitted avery low, irrefutable threat, “Get lost.”

The wild dog’s eyes were shocked and even its barks stopped. Then he dropped his fierce eyes and lowered his tail, barking quietly.

The man dropped his eyes to it and listened to the dog’s lower voice. It backed away a few steps and fled in despondency.

——As if the devils and its monsters were after its tail.

. . .

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu’s roommate dragged her over by the arm, “Xiǎo Ōu, look at the guy. . .”

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu naturally set the scene in her eyes but she thought differently from her roommate.

A leopard running out and crazy wild dog. . . when Ryan came to this world, did they lose sense?

Well, she thought, he was very handsome.
