"Aww~" So delicious! This human's cooking skills are amazing! What is this? (chewing) How can it be so delicious? (chewing) Waaah! So delicious!
(๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)
The Little Fox lay on the sofa, happily accepting the man's feeding. Its fluffy ears twitched with each bite, and as it ate, it didn't forget to wrap its beautiful tail around the man's arm to express its affection.
"Eat slowly, no rush."
The man seemed to have inexhaustible patience, always showing extra gentleness towards the Little Fox. Although his face remained expressionless, his gaze was tender.
Even when his phone rang with a call notification, he calmly fed all the meat in his hand to the Little Fox before wiping his hands clean and answering the call.
The Little Fox had sharp ears and heard the human voice on the other end of the phone, " Song Yanqing, where have you been during the day instead of training at the base?!"
"Although our JSY Team has already made it to the playoffs, we can't slack off in training, and as our team captain, you especially can't let your guard down!"
"Also, you haven't made up for the remaining livestream hours this month! There are still twenty-one hours left! Area, if you don't catch up soon, the higher-ups will be driving me crazy!"
The human's voice was very loud; the Little Fox heard it clearly and distinctly.
He finally learned the man's name, his identity, and his job. It turned out that this kind-hearted man with both Chinese and English names was actually an e-sports player!
As for why he knew this, it was because after Qingqiu Divine Mountain connected with humans, they could see human life, were taught a lot of common human knowledge, and learned a lot of other things. He was very smart and had a photographic memory.
People like this, who have teams and have to complete monthly live streaming tasks, are basically professional e-sports players.
"I have something to do, so I'll be livestreaming from home today."
After calmly listening to the person on the other end of the line, Song Yanqing responded with just this one sentence, and then hung up the phone before the other person could react.
After Song Yanqing hung up the phone, he put it on the coffee table and noticed that the Little Fox, who had finished chewing its food, didn't eat the food on the table itself.
Instead, she was staring at him expectantly, as if waiting for him to feed her. Her eyes were wet, and she looked so innocent and adorable that he felt as if his heart had been struck, and his heart softened completely in an instant.
Are you waiting for me to feed you?
"Waaaaah~" Yeah, yeah, otherwise I would have gone over to eat it myself, it would have looked like a dog, I'm not a dog ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ And you tore it so finely that it was easy for me to chew!
Song Yanqing picked up the Little Fox and put it on his lap. Instantly, his arms were wrapped around the fox's fluffy tail, and the little fox's head enthusiastically nuzzled his cheek, its tongue carrying the taste of boiled chicken breast, but it didn't smell bad.
The Little Fox's series of enthusiastic interactions seemed to be a response to Song Yanqing's question, a stark contrast to its earlier quiet and obedient demeanor as it waited for him to finish his call. It was truly incredibly docile and gentle.
He seemed to understand King Zhou a little better... Having such a perceptive and emotionally supportive "Hakimi" would make anyone unconsciously lean towards it.
"Okay~ be good."
Song Yanqing hugged the Little Fox closer to him, his tone unconsciously rising and taking on a low, melodious tone at the end, sounding inexplicably doting and gentle.
Shang Shujue nestled comfortably in his arms, being purred and coaxed by his gentle stroking. His tail swayed leisurely, the fur at the tip occasionally brushing against his chin.
Song Yanqing felt a little itchy from Shang Shujue's tickling of his chin, but he didn't adjust the little guy's tail. Instead, he let him wrap his arms around his arm and sway back and forth, showing his excessive pampering.
After feeding the Little Fox, who was now smelling fresh and a bit sleepy, Song Yanqing carried him to his bedroom and tucked him into bed.
"Be good in my bedroom. Go to the bathroom to use the toilet, not on the bed, okay?"
"... Eek~" Just kidding...
Upon hearing Song Yanqing's worried instructions, Shang Shujue's lips twitched slightly. He didn't know whether he felt he was being too stupid or that Song Yanqing was too naive.
How could a normal human being so serious as to give a Fox such important advice?
He's just a Fox now. Although he won't pee or poop in bed, won't Song Yanqing being mistaken for a lunatic for talking to him like that?
Song Yanqing didn't seem to be expecting a response from a Fox. After saying those words, he simply patted the fox's head, wrapped him in the blanket, and turned to leave.
Shang Shujue, meanwhile, lay lazily on the bed, sprawling out like a soft, sweet Fox Nuomi, and drifted off to sleep amidst the warm scent of soap and masculine aroma.
Song Yanqing brought in a glass of water. He had originally intended to let the Little Fox drink some water before he went to sleep, but when he came in, he found him asleep. His fluffy ears were draped over the corners of his beautiful eyes, making him look so soft and cute that it softened Song Yanqing's heart.
"So cute."
Song Yanqing put down the water glass, then turned around and closed the bedroom door. He cooked a simple bowl of noodles, ate it, washed the dishes, and then took his peripherals to the e-sports room to stream.
At the same time, Shang Shujue in the bedroom suddenly felt a little hot, and the sealed spiritual power in his body seemed to have loosened slightly.
A small circle of spiritual energy gradually gathered above his body, carrying with it Song Yanqing's aura from the room, seeping into his body and gradually disintegrating the seal.
The food that Song Yanqing personally fed him also transformed into a force that could break the seal. Although weak, it was not useless. At least Shang Shujue's meridians, which had been lacking spiritual energy, finally gained a trace of vitality...
Before his official live stream, Song Yanqing made a phone call to the team, specifically to the vice-captain Jian Songchuan, who was the team's marksman.
Song Yanqing told him that he had something to take care of and would not be returning to the base that night, but would be staying at home, and asked him to supervise his teammates' training.
After he finished explaining, he was about to hang up when Jian Songchuan called him back. He seemed a little embarrassed and conflicted, but he still forced himself to finish what he had to say.
"... Captain, today that brute Lu Fengxing arranged a friendly match with the DTK Team in your name. The time is set for 10:30 PM."
" Lu Fengxing was too embarrassed to tell you via text message. He originally wanted to tell you in person, but you weren't at the base today, so he hasn't had a chance to."
"Captain, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Lu Fengxing. This reckless guy got provoked by JJ from the DTK Team and didn't care about anything else... Captain, can you play today?"
Jian Songchuan's words made Song Yanqing pause, and he reflexively glanced at the time on the computer. It was 9:15, and there was still about an hour until 10:30.
"Okay, I'll stream from here and make up for the lost stream time. Call me when it starts and I'll end the stream. Since it's a friendly match, let's not make it public."
Hearing Song Yanqing's words, Jian Songchuan finally felt relieved. He patted Lu Fengxing, who was eavesdropping beside him, on the shoulder before replying with a relaxed tone, "Okay, see you tomorrow, Captain."
"Um."
Song Yanqing hung up the phone, turned around and turned on the live stream. At the JSY Team base, Lu Fengxing patted his chest, his tense face instantly relaxing.
