Chapter 560: Chapter 557: Discovered His Strangeness

For two straight days, Hua Han still couldn’t accept anyone getting close to him except for Bai Wanwan. Even when her other closest Beast Husbands tried to help, he would meet them with a wary and hostile growl.

Therefore, feeding him, washing him, changing his bandages, lulling him to sleep... all of these tasks could only be done by Bai Wanwan herself.

She poured nearly all her time and energy into Hua Han. The meticulous care and patience she showed even surprised herself a little.

However, this focus inevitably meant she was slightly neglecting her other Beast Husbands.

That evening, just as Bai Wanwan finished coaxing Hua Han to eat a bowl of minced meat and turned to wash the bowl and spoon, Yan Lie, who had been waiting nearby, pulled her into a corner outside the house.

"Wanwan," Yan Lie’s scorching eyes stared intently at her, and for once, they held a clearly visible trace of grievance, like a large feline being ignored by its owner. "You’ve been so good to him these past few days, doing everything yourself. You’ve never taken care of me so meticulously."

Seeing him like this, Bai Wanwan was torn between finding it funny and feeling her heart ache for him.

She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick peck on his tightly pressed lips, her voice laced with amusement. "How have I not been good to you? Have I not eaten with you? Or not slept with you?"

"You’ve never bathed me!" Yan Lie answered decisively, his tone carrying a note of righteous accusation. "You’ve been giving him sponge baths and lulling him to sleep, but you’ve never even wiped me down!"

Bai Wanwan burst out laughing at his childish competition for her affection and shot him a playful glare. "How old of a beast are you? You’re going to fight over this? Did I not take care of you when you were injured?"

"That’s different!" Yan Lie held her hand, refusing to back down, even shaking it a little in a wheedling way. "Next time, just next time, you wash me too, okay? Just like you do for him."

Faced with her Beast Husband’s direct and passionate demand, what else could Bai Wanwan do?

She could only indulge him and nod in agreement.

"Alright, alright, I’ll wash you next time, okay?"

Only then did Yan Lie grin from ear to ear, like a big kid who had just gotten his favorite toy. He leaned in and gave her another hard kiss before releasing her, completely satisfied.

Xin Feng, who was walking into the stone house with a basin of hot water, happened to see this scene. His gaze was gentle, and he didn’t say anything, simply placing the basin silently on a rack.

Bai Wanwan noticed him and walked over, taking his hand. Her voice held a hint of apology. "Xin Feng, I’ve been so focused on taking care of Hua Han these past few days that I’ve neglected you all a bit... Are you mad at me?"

Xin Feng turned around and smiled gently. He raised a hand and softly caressed her slightly weary but still beautiful eyes, his voice as warm as a spring breeze. "I’m not. How could I be mad at you? Because I know that Wanwan is very good to each of us, very devoted. If... if I were the one who was injured and had amnesia today, needing someone by my side at all times, you would take care of me just as patiently and meticulously as you’re taking care of Hua Han now, right?"

His words flowed into Bai Wanwan’s heart like a warm current, moving her beyond words.

She looked into his eyes, gentle as spring waters, and nodded instinctively. "Mhm! If any of you needed me, I would do the same. But..."

Her tone shifted, now heavy with worry. "Still, I don’t want any of you to get hurt. I want all of you to be okay."

"Okay," Xin Feng agreed readily, his eyes full of adoration. "I won’t get hurt. We’ll all try our best not to get hurt, so you don’t have to worry."

Over by the side, Hua Han stood watching them without blinking.

Xin Feng smiled. "You should go take care of him. I’ll head out."

Bai Wanwan didn’t stop him. After watching him leave, she walked to the bedside to give Hua Han a wash.

Hua Han had a very strong constitution. As a High Rank Male, his recovery ability was extremely powerful.

The wounds on his body had mostly scabbed over and fallen off, revealing new pink flesh underneath. For the most part, he was fine.

The biggest problem now was still that damned mass of Dark Energy in his head, obstructing his consciousness.

Compared to the hollow, numb state he was in on the first day, rejecting everything from the outside world, the current Hua Han seemed much more "well-behaved."

He would follow her around like a shadow, his gaze fixed on her most of the time, filled with complete dependence and trust.

Bai Wanwan skillfully helped him remove his simple, upper-body beast hide. She wrung out a warm cloth and carefully began to wipe down his body.

The water trickled over his firm chest and well-defined abs, washing away sweat and dust.

As she continued to wipe him down, Bai Wanwan clearly felt the muscles beneath her hand tighten, and his breathing grew heavy.

A large hand silently wrapped around her waist, its touch scorching hot, trying to pull her into his embrace.

"Be good. Not right now," Bai Wanwan said, her hands not stopping, but her tone firm.

Remembering his lack of restraint the past two nights and the brutal marks on her body when she woke up this morning, she was determined not to let him have his way again today.

The hand paused, but it didn’t pull back.

Hua Han looked up, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes—now clouded with a film of moisture and desire—gazing at her pitifully, as if he couldn’t understand why he’d been rejected.

Bai Wanwan steeled her heart, quickly finished washing his upper body, then changed the water and washed his lower body.

Throughout the entire process, Hua Han sat perfectly still, like a silent statue. But on the back of his tightly clenched fists, veins bulged with restraint, revealing the turbulent agitation surging within him.

After helping him into a clean beast hide, Bai Wanwan sighed. She helped him lie down and gave his tightly pressed lips a reassuring kiss, saying softly, "I was too tired yesterday, and my back is still sore. Be a good boy today and don’t cause any more trouble. Let me get some proper rest, okay?"

Hua Han looked at her with a glimmer of understanding, the desire in his eyes fading slightly, replaced by a dazed obedience.

He didn’t make any more inappropriate moves. He just obediently lay down, then immediately snuggled closer, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He took a deep breath of her reassuring scent, a soft, satisfied rumble coming from his throat.

However, the tranquility didn’t last long. Just as Bai Wanwan began to relax, she felt the male’s body beside her tense up again.

The arm around her tightened noticeably. His breathing, which had just calmed down, once again became hot and ragged. The large hand that had been still for a moment started to roam restlessly over her back, even showing a tendency to move lower.

"Hua Han!" Bai Wanwan tried to push him away a little so she could speak clearly.

She could even clearly feel his body becoming tense and ready again, its presence so strong she couldn’t ignore it.

Her own heartbeat began to race, but she tried to keep her voice calm. "We agreed to just sleep tonight. Be good, don’t make a fuss."

She wasn’t sure if she was imagining it, but for one incredibly brief instant after she finished speaking, she caught a fleeting, yet distinct flash deep within Hua Han’s desire-heavy eyes. Was that... regret and annoyance?
