After being bound to the procreation system, the little female seduces everyone in the beast world.

Ah Hou was stunned, the surprise in his eyes lingering for a long time. His tall body trembled slightly, his hands gripping Yan Shu's shoulders with a slight shaking, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

In those deep eyes, there was a cautious glint, like that of a wounded animal.

"Shushu...you really don't mind me?" he murmured, his voice trembling, as if confirming something, or perhaps trying to comfort himself.

His heavy breathing and slightly reddened eyes made this usually brave male appear so fragile and helpless.

Yan Shu felt a pang of sadness when she looked at Ah Hou, who was so humble and cautious in front of her.

That feeling, deeply buried in my memory, surged back into my heart.

In her past life, she was in the hospital. When her parents came to visit her, she was always cautious, afraid that they would be disappointed and that she would be a burden to them.

That longing for recognition and not being abandoned is exactly the same emotion in Ah Hou's eyes right now.

Her gaze softened, as if she were seeing her past self through him.

A bittersweet feeling of pity welled up inside her, making her want to offer him more comfort and protection.

She gently raised her hand, her fingertips softly tracing his cheek, and said in a soothing voice, "I have never disliked you, Ah-hou."

When Ah Hou heard her answer, his eyes reddened slightly, his lips trembled slightly, and his expression gradually changed from surprise to emotion.

His hands tightened unconsciously, as if to confirm that he wasn't dreaming.

He suppressed his emotions, his breathing was slightly rapid, and the moist light in his eyes seemed about to overflow at any moment.

"Shushu..." he called softly, his voice hoarse but sincere, filled with deep affection and gratitude, his whole being radiating a touching glow.

Yan Shu looked at him, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

She reached out and gently stroked his cheek, wiping away the fine beads of sweat, her eyes warm and firm: "You don't need to prove anything, Ah-hou. You are you, and that's enough."

Ah Hou got so excited that he tackled the person to the ground.

Her small frame couldn't withstand such an impact. She leaned back against the rock, and when her back touched the ground slightly, the cold touch made Yan Shu stiffen instantly.

If Ah Hou hadn't known his limits and hadn't caught her head with one hand and protected her back with the other the moment she fell, she would probably be gasping for breath in pain right now.

Ah-hou was very close, his breath rapid and warm against her cheek.

His eyes revealed undisguised excitement and a hint of apology. "Shushu, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive..."

His tone was tinged with frustration and unease.

Yan Shu's heart was pounding. She looked up at his anxious face and felt his careful touch and protective hands, but her heart gradually softened.

She gently shook her head, raised her hand to touch his cheek, and whispered, "It's okay."

Ah Hou's eyes were overflowing with emotion. He slowly loosened his grip and held her securely.

The thunder outside gradually subsided.

The air was filled with a damp coolness, mixed with the scent of mountain soil.

Ah Hou felt the soft, warm touch in his arms, and his heart began to race. His gaze was affectionate yet tinged with caution, as if he were afraid that this moment would suddenly disappear.

"Shushu..." he called her softly, his voice filled with deep affection and reluctance.

He tightened his arms slightly, gently pulling her into his embrace, as if confirming her real presence.

Yan Shu leaned quietly against him, feeling his heartbeat blend with the thunder.

She looked up at his face, which was slightly disheveled from excitement, and smiled gently: "Ah-ho, don't worry, I'm here."

Ah Hou's ears twitched slightly, revealing a rare shy expression, but his eyes sparkled with determination and satisfaction.

He gently pressed his face against her forehead and whispered, "Yes, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

As the thunder gradually faded away, the heavy rain began to fall sparsely, pattering against the leaves.

But Yan Shu started to get cold.

Even though Ah Hou hugged her like a furnace, the wind blowing in from the cave entrance still made her shiver.

Ah Hou immediately noticed her trembling, and a hint of tension and worry flashed in his eyes.

He held her tighter, trying to use his body heat to dispel the chill from her body, but the cold wind blowing in from the cave entrance made all of this seem insignificant.

Seeing her shivering slightly, his heart tightened, knowing he couldn't let her get any colder.

"Shushu, I'll take you somewhere where it won't be cold anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly picked her up, and then with a shudder, his body transformed into a giant wolf.

Its silver-gray fur gleamed coldly in the rain, its strong limbs stood firmly on the ground, and its back was broad and warm.

Yan Shu was slightly taken aback, feeling the warmth of Ah Hou's body coming through his damp fur. She gently climbed onto his back and tightly gripped his thick neck hair with her fingers.

Ah Hou glanced back at her spot, and after confirming that she was seated securely, he quickly ran outside.

Yan Shu almost fell, mainly because his hair was different from A Xu's; it was very slippery when she held it in her palm.

Before long, they came to a secluded little depression.

The tall trees surrounding the area blocked out the cold wind, and the steam from the hot spring pool drifted in the air, bringing a faint smell of sulfur.

Yan Shu was surprised to see the hot spring in front of her.

Ah Hou gently bent down and helped her off his back.

Yan Shu's hand was still tightly gripping his neck hair, her movements somewhat hesitant, until A Hou said softly, "Shu Shu, come down quickly, soaking in the hot spring will make you feel warmer."

She slowly released her grip, carefully slid off the wolf's back, and stepped onto the damp ground.

A cold wind blew by, and she couldn't help but shiver, but the heat from the hot spring immediately enveloped her, gradually warming her body.

After Ah Hou returned to human form, he stood beside Yan Shu, his eyes filled with concern: "Go in quickly, this water will warm you up and you won't feel cold anymore."

As he spoke, he put down the animal skin garment he had been biting in his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Yan Shu immediately turned her head away, her cheeks slightly flushed.

When males transform, they need to take off their clothes, then fix animal skins to their bodies, and quickly put them back on after returning to human form.

They had been practicing these movements since childhood, and were already highly skilled at them. They could put on their clothes almost instantly upon returning to human form.

She heard a "plop" on the water, and before she could turn around, she felt a warm, wet hand grasp her wrist.

Yan Shu exclaimed in surprise.

She turned her head and saw that he was already standing in the hot spring, the steam making his outline somewhat hazy, his exposed skin glistening with moisture.

Fine droplets of water slid down his hair and clung to his taut forehead, highlighting his handsome and resolute face.

"Shushu, come down quickly, the water will warm you up and you won't be cold anymore."

His voice was deep and gentle, yet urgent.
