Chapter 89 [Fairy Tale] He Has a Little Gray Wolf (15)
"Al—alright." Ryder leaned his head back. Asi was very enthusiastic, the whole little wolf pressing close to him. Suddenly, she bit down on his back.
Ryder hissed. It didn’t really hurt, the little wolf had only nipped him lightly. So Ryder didn’t push her away, merely shot her a reproachful look.
"Whimper, whimper." Asi stole a glance at him, then obediently sat down by Ryder’s side, her tail behind her wagging ingratiatingly.
She—she’d done it on purpose. Otherwise, how could she see clearly whether there was a red mark on Ryder’s back? But she hadn’t dared to bite too hard. After all, if Ryder really was Little White, she would be heartbroken.
"You bit me. And now you’re acting aggrieved?" Ryder absentmindedly ran a hand over the soft head of the little wolf, showing no intention of exposing his back.
This made Asi anxious. She still didn’t know who Little White was. If Ryder wouldn’t show his wound, how could she be sure? Although she really did like clinging to Ryder, what if—what if he wasn’t the one? Then how pitiful would Little White be? They’d clearly reincarnated together, yet she’d abandoned him.
Asi shook her head. She still loved Little White the most!
"Little wolf, wolf. Stop—stop it." Asi leapt forward, knocking Ryder to the ground. Her sharp teeth caught his shirt at the back, biting very gently. Asi only wanted to confirm if he was Little White—if not, then she would have to leave Ryder.
But suddenly, Ryder broke free, sitting on the ground, eyes wide as he stared at the little wolf. Ryder seemed a bit angry. Asi flicked her tail nervously, her dark eyes wide, looking as if she’d suffered a tremendous injustice, as if she might cry at any moment.
Ryder’s face flushed as he looked at the pitiful little wolf gazing up at him. Picking her up, he sat her on his lap, saying awkwardly, "Next time, don’t—don’t do that again."
Ryder, you really are an idiot. You don’t even know if the little wolf is male or female, how could you... Ryder cursed himself inwardly, completely oblivious to Asi, who was anxiously watching him from the side.
Asi sat uneasily nearby. It was over—how terrifying. She seemed to have made Ryder angry. What should she do?
The sight of one person and one wolf sitting together in anxious silence amused Tan, who was drifting lazily in the air.
"Asi, you’ve made him angry!"
The little wolf whimpered. She was sorry—she’d only wanted to find out if Ryder was Little White. She hadn’t meant to upset him.
"I have a good idea, do you want to try it?" A good idea? "It’ll make him stop being mad at you!"
Asi looked up at Tan, eyes lighting up with expectation for a moment. Tan, seeing Asi’s expression, sneered inwardly. It was time to get a little revenge on that bastard Shangyuan!
"You just need to bite him again, and he’ll definitely forgive you," Tan promised solemnly.
Asi cocked her head, confusion in her eyes. She wasn’t stupid. It was biting Ryder that had made him angry in the first place. If she bit him again, wouldn’t that make it worse? Besides, if Little White really was Ryder, hadn’t she already hurt his feelings? She definitely didn’t want that.
But Tan sounded so reasonable: "The people in Red Hood Town aren’t like ordinary people. Do you know why Ryder wasn’t angry just now? Because you didn’t use enough force. If you bite a little harder, he won’t be angry at all!"
"And what if he gets angry and ignores you? He’s from Red Hood Town—he’s not afraid of pain at all!"
