"Huh?"
Xie Chuchu blinked.
"Oh, I see?"
"I'm sorry, Master Xiao."
Xie Chuchu gave Xiao Xiao an apologetic smile.
"I got distracted."
"I was entranced by your little fox."
Xie Chuchu honestly explained why she had gotten distracted.
"It's so beautiful."
Xie Chuchu marveled.
"Under these garish lights, it practically glows white."
Those shallow colors couldn't leave a single mark on Little White Fox.
Its own radiance eclipsed everything.
In a daze, Xie Chuchu felt as if she were looking at snow and breathing in the cool air.
"A Jiu is the most beautiful fox I've ever seen."
Chi Xiuke understood Xie Chuchu's amazement.
Not a white fox.
A fox.
Although, in theory, foxes of different colors were hard to compare because everyone had their own preferences.
But when it came to A Jiu, Chi Xiuke was confident.
Whoever saw A Jiu, even someone who preferred red foxes, would admit that A Jiu's beauty was peerless.
Because of her personality, Chi Xiuke rarely used such absolute words.
But A Jiu deserved them.
A Jiu deserved every beautiful word in the world.
"That's right."
Xie Chuchu nodded.
"It's the most beautiful fox I've ever seen, too."
"Master Xiao, you're amazing."
Xie Chuchu's somewhat inexplicable words made Xiao Xiao's brows rise slightly.
Xie Chuchu leaned forward a little, drawing closer as she gazed admiringly at the little white fox.
"This is the first time I've met someone who keeps a fox as a pet."
Though she'd heard a little about it before—
Well.
Perhaps she couldn't really say she'd heard a little about it.
These days, it seemed like keeping any kind of animal as a pet wasn't unusual.
Compared to more eccentric pets like lizards and spiders, foxes weren't all that rare.
Foxes appeared so often
