I went to touch his forehead.
He was burning up.
He swatted my hand away, eyes wet.
“Jiang Mian, stay away from me.”
I interrupted him.
“You’re so red, lay down. Does your wound hurt?”
He looked down, seeing his red chest, yelling.
“Jiang Mian, don’t look!”
.“Okay, okay, I won’t.”
I grabbed a blanket and threw it over him.
He threw off the blanket and stared at me, his golden hair sticking up.
I pushed it down and said.
“Be good, I’m gonna get you medicine.”
<
He lowered his eyes, not saying anything.
As I stood.
He reached out and grabbed my wrist.
I was pulled into his arms.
“Let go.”
I tried to push him away. “You’re sick, but so
strong… what’s wrong with you?”
He was hot, his ears red.
He said.
“Don’t get medicine. I… I’m in heat.”

I felt bad when the snake was in heat.

8:57
For some reason, I wanted to laugh now.
“What…”
90
I scratched my head, confused. “Why are you in
heat now?”
“We were caught at the same time!…Would you
humans have caught me if I wasn’t in heat?”
The cockatiel looked young.
But his arms were strong, wrapped around my
waist.
“Will you help me?”
“…No.”
I said.
“Why!”
8:57
He said. “You helped the snake!”
“He was more obedient.”
7222
He buried his head in my neck, not speaking.
Finally, he said.
“If you like obedient, I can be obedient.”
I didn’t say anything, standing up.
He got anxious.
He grabbed my wrist.
“You’re mad at what I said? You’re still upset I
poured porridge on you?
“Okay, I’ll make porridge, then you pour it on
me.”
I poked his head,

He stood up, pulling me to the bathroom and
turning on the shower.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
Then, he gave me the shower head.
“Wet me, pay me back.”
I looked at him and grabbed the shower head.
“Lower your head.”
He lowered his head.
I poured some water over his head and put the
shower head back.
He stared at me.
“Okay,” I said, “I’m not mad.”
く
He moaned.
He said, “…Don’t think I’ll forgive you.”
“Okay.”
I stopped. “Bye.”
“…Wait, why!”
He pulled me back.
“You’re so stubborn.”
I pinched his cheeks.
“I’ll punish you to make dinner for a month.”
He stared.
Then he lowered his head.
“Okay. 1 agree. ”
く
I had been taking it lately.
I finally got back at him.
I laughed and messed up his hair.
At first, he was obedient.
But then he couldn’t take it.
He took my hand somewhere else.
“Rub it here too.”
I couldn’t let him take the lead.
So I said, “Dream on.”
Then, he put his head on my shoulder and said.
“Mistress, please.”

Even though he was stubborn, he kept his word.
The next day.
He woke up at seven and made breakfast,
waking me up before I went to work.
I sat at the table and looked at the plate.
“What is this?” I asked.
“Food.” He said. “Eat up, it took me two hours
to make.”
“Can I eat this?”
I grabbed something black. “Is this the bottom
of the pan?”
“It’s eggs!”
He said.

He peeked at me. “I don’t know how to cook,
this is the first time.”
I smiled and grabbed the eggs.
“Eat up.”
He gave them back to me.
“You eat.”
“No, you eat.”
“You.”
“You.”
After a few times.
I put them in his mouth.

He copied me.
Ten minutes later.
We puked in the toilet together.
“Ugh.”
I wiped my face and glared at him, “I shouldn’t
have helped you last night.”
He said.
“You helped me, it’s too late!”
Then I had to go to work.
Before I left.
He hesitated.
“The wolf will be in heat too.”
I nodded.
The heat was obvious.
They would be hot.
But I should be able to help him too.
I grabbed my bag.
I opened the door and almost hit the neighbor.
The red hair neighbor was peeking into my apartment, asking:
“Where’s the wolf from yesterday?”
I closed the door.

I wasn’t at work that day.

I heard a cat.
It was thin.
I saw it staring at the canned food.
So I opened the window and put out some food.
The cat looked at me, and jumped onto the
window.
I grabbed it.
It started screaming.
“Don’t move, you’re hurt. Did you fight? I’ll
check.”
I put it on my lap.
It seemed to understand, and relaxed.

I took care of it in my office.
When I went home.
There was a letter in my mailbox.
I opened it. “That was fast.”
I was going to tell the beastmen.
But the door opened.
The three of them were there.
I didn’t say anything.
“Are you going to stay here?”
The wolf took off my coat, and the snake took
my bag, being good servants.
Someone touched my waist.
When I looked, they looked innocent.
“What’s wrong?” The wolf asked.
The cockatiel was there.
He grabbed my hand.
“Try my cooking.”
I glanced at him.
“…I don’t want to puke again.”
“This time it’s different, I tried all day!”
He gave me chopsticks.
I grabbed a piece of pork.
It was good.
So I ate three bowls of rice.

8:58
After dinner.
The cockatiel and I played games.
The wolf and snake put away the dishes,
glancing at me.
The wolf grabbed the letter.
“What’s this?”
I looked.
“Oh, that’s…”
“…Beastman Slave Contract Termination?”
He said.
He clenched the paper.

I beat the cockatiel.
The cockatiel grabbed the game console, not
believing it.
“…Jiang Mian, what do you mean?!”
The wolf and snake glanced at each other,
staring at me.
“Why are you so surprised…”
I said, putting down the console.
“Didn’t we agree? I’ll release you.”
They looked serious.
I said.
“Now you’re healed. After I release you, I’ll give
you money. Then we’re even, and you’re free.

In the story.
They were villains.
After they left me, they would be better, right?
The wolf asked.

‘…When did you submit the request?”
“When I helped your eye.”
The first day.
I did my best.
I said.
“You can say what you want. After all, I haven’t been good to you, and I’ll try to make it up to you.”

The cockatiel scoffed.
“You’re so generous.”
I frowned. “Why are you mad?”
He went to his room, and the wolf and snake
followed.
Soon, I was alone.

The next day, I wasn’t at work.
The cat followed me, but I almost stepped on it.
“Sorry.”
I grabbed the cat.
“Let’s put you in a cage.”

At the end of the day.
I saw the wolf and the red hair neighbor.
She was there.
“Since your owner isn’t here, why don’t you
come to my house? I saw the letter in her
mailbox, she should be tired of you.”
The wolf lowered his eyes.
She touched his arm.
“If you’re with me, I won’t be like her.”
“What are you doing!”
I interrupted.
She touched her nose.
The wolf looked away.
When we got to the elevator, the wolf and I
stood far away.
I was mad.
“She wants to touch you, why don’t you move?”
He didn’t say anything.
I looked at him, and changed the subject.
“When are you going to sign the release contract?”
He asked.
“Are you in a hurry?”
“…No…”
It was quiet.
I felt uneasy.
He looked uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong?”
I went to touch his head.
He grabbed my hand.
He said.
“Keep your hands to yourself.”
“…Okay.”
I smiled.
“What do you plan to do? If you run into
trouble, come to me…”
Г
“That’s our business.”
He interrupted.
“The elevator is here.”
He went in first.
I took a moment, and followed.
…Actually.
He was right.
We would be separate soon.
It wasn’t my business.
I knew I had to think that.
But at three in the morning, I stood up.
8:58
How was it not my business?!!
We lived together for so long, I helped them.
I stood up, and went to the beastman’s room,
and found no one.
There was a noise in the bathroom.
Like the wind.
I went to the bathroom.
The door wasn’t closed.
I saw him.
He was shirtless, muscles rippling.
Then.
He closed his eyes, raised a tie, and whipped

I jumped.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
I was about to leave when he grabbed my wrist.
He said.
“Open your eyes.”
I took a breath and looked.
He was there.
His body was there.
It had welts.
He had skin.
“… Why are you here?”
く
“I was going to let you go.”
What?
He touched my ear.

“Jiang Mian, you liked to tie me up with leather,
now you don’t?”
I swallowed and moved my eyes.
“I…..”
I went to push him, but he was hot.
I grabbed his arm.
“Are you in heat?! How long?”
“You finally noticed.”
He said.
“I’ve been…”
“For three days.”
“When you’re around me, I feel drugged, and
want to hug you.”
“…How did you do it?”
He kissed his bracelet.
The pink hair tie.
“I’ve been using this.”
I touched his face.
His lips trembled.
“Why…” I asked.
He said.
He said.
“You said beastmen in heat were gross, I didn’t
want you to hate me.”
“Now… you see, will you hate me?”
He was a wolf.
But he was a puppy.
“I don’t hate you.”
I said. “I’ll help you.”

I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was two in the afternoon.
He was there.
“Breakfast is ready do you want to eat?”

“Breakfast is ready, do you want to eat?”
I nodded and went to the table.
The snake and cockatiel looked at me.
The cockatiel scoffed.
I ignored him.
The snake said.
