Shang Shujue finished the corn and ham sausage he got from the man. He was a little unsatisfied, but he knew that in his current state, it would be difficult for him to eat more.
So he found a safe place to sleep. When he finally fell asleep, he was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back. He staggered out of the makeshift Fox den, shook his fur, but the mud on his body had hardened and he couldn't shake it off.
This is so awful! I really want to take a shower! I should have just stayed with that man yesterday and gone back to shower with him. It's so uncomfortable! If I see him again today, I'm going to cling to him!
With that thought in mind, Shang Shujue strode out to find something to eat. This time, he found a clump of wild strawberries; the white strawberries were especially delicious.
After finishing all the white strawberries, he was only half full. He was about to wander around the familiar area to see if there were any people from Qingqiu when he saw the man sitting by the flower bed halfway there.
The man's brows were furrowed as he looked down at his phone. The phone case featured a majestic white dragon, its scales gleaming in the light, its eyes sharp.
The man's long, slender fingers rested on the phone case; his fingers were slightly white as if he had seen a message, indicating that he was gripping the phone with considerable force.
But none of that matters. What matters is that this man is the same man who fed Shang Shujue, that Little Fox, corn and ham yesterday.
So Shang Shujue darted over and stopped a meter away from the man, obediently sitting on the ground and looking up at him, letting out two soft whimpering sounds.
"Oh, it's you."
The man looked up when he heard the sound, and paused for a moment when he saw the Dirty Bun Little Red Fox. Then his expression softened. Although there was no change in his expression, his eyes were very gentle, and the tense lines on his face also softened a lot.
"Waaaaah~" Yes, yes, it's me~
Shang Shujue took two steps forward, and the Fox stomped its feet excitedly, seemingly very happy that the man still remembered it; its dirty tail even wagged.
The man paused, put his phone away, and tentatively reached out. Before he could even touch the Little Fox's head, the Little Fox snuggled up to him, nuzzling against his palm and wagging its tail even more happily.
The man's heart softened instantly. He glanced at the sky, then looked around, before taking off his coat, unfolding it, and saying to the Little Fox, "Want to come home with me?"
The Little Fox paused for a moment, then its eyes lit up instantly. It stomped its paws, whimpered, and pounced on the man, who caught it in his arms. The man also paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he picked up the Little Fox.
The Little Fox finally got a bath. He went home with the man and took a thorough bath from head to toe. The man helped him bathe, and the fox didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, he happily licked the man's cheek.
"Wow, you're so beautiful!"
After the Little Fox was washed and dried, its sticky fur became soft and fluffy, making its somewhat thin body look a little softer. The man looked at it and couldn't help but stroke its fur for a long time, his cold and hard tone softening.
"Waaaaah~" Of course, I'm the most beautiful Fox in Qingqiu, unparalleled in history, and truly one of a kind! Hmph~
The Little Fox wasn't shy at all when praised for her beauty; in fact, she happily snuggled into the man's arms, clinging to him affectionately and licking his cheek. It was clear she really liked his handsome face.
"Okay, stop fooling around. I'll get you something to eat. Sit quietly on the sofa and wait for me."
After the man finished speaking, he placed the Little Fox on the sofa, rubbed its head, and saw that it was indeed sitting obediently on the sofa, just wagging its fluffy tail and unconsciously stomping its paws while looking at him, its beautiful eyes sparkling.
The man was charmed by his cuteness and couldn't resist ruffling his hair again before turning to prepare the food.
Shang Shujue didn't stay on the sofa for long before she ran to the kitchen, rubbing against his leg and whimpering as if she couldn't wait any longer.
"Don't rush, it's just been put into the pot, it's not cooked yet."
The man seemed to be completely captivated by Shang Shujue's clingy manner, but he wasn't angry. His usually stern face remained gentle, and his tone of voice was tinged with tender affection.
"Waaaaah~" Okay~ Okay~
Shang Shujue whimpered three times, then snuggled against his leg, wagging its tail and twitching its furry ears, seemingly having spotted something interesting.
"Waaah!" What an ugly thing! Get away from me!
He suddenly twisted his body and pounced, then plunged headfirst into the hard floor, startling the cockroach on the ground with his nose. The cockroach ran away, and he lay on the ground, covering his nose and whimpering, his eyes reddening.
"Pfft..." The man was amused by the little idiot. He had thought the kid had discovered something interesting, but the next second he put on a "show".
He walked over, bent down, picked up the Little Fox, and rubbed its nose. "Silly boy, that's a cockroach. Don't touch it. I'll sprinkle some insect repellent to drive them away, but you can't go into the kitchen anymore."
"Waaaaah..." Since you look so cute when you smile, okay then~ I'll go out right away.
Shang Shujue whimpered a few times, and the pain in his nose finally subsided. He leaned over and licked the man a few more times. This time, he licked his lips, which felt soft. His eyes lit up, and he wanted to lick them again, but his head was pressed onto the man's shoulder.
"Be good, stop making a fuss, go sit on the sofa, and I'll put some treats in front of him later."
The man didn't care at all about the Little Fox licking his lips. After putting the Little Fox down, he turned around and went back to the kitchen, where he first caught the cockroach and threw it out the window.
Cockroach: Whoosh~ Take off--
