The entire story revolves around the different paths of humans and demons. In the first life, a scholar went to the capital to take the imperial examination. Unable to bear seeing the Fox being slaughtered, he bought the Fox that was about to be skinned alive.
The scholar released it back into the mountains and continued on his journey alone. However, on a mountain path just a stone's throw from the capital, he was intercepted by bandits. He had no money and vowed to protect his books and writing implements to the death. After being killed, he was skinned and dismembered by the bandits, dying a gruesome death.
When the Little Fox arrived, it was too late. She avenged the scholar, but she couldn't take his life.
In his second life, the scholar was born into a wealthy family and still had to go to the capital to take the imperial examination. This time, he encountered bandits again, but fortunately, the Little Fox arrived in time.
She transformed into the daughter of a bodyguard, defeated the bandits steadily, and was hired as the bodyguard of the eldest young master. The two fell in love with each other for a long time, and lived a life of inseparability.
But their good fortune didn't last long. The Little Fox's true identity was discovered, and the young master was frightened, but he wasn't afraid. Instead, he became even more protective of her, which displeased the demon hunter.
The Little Fox was severely injured, and the young master, in order to protect her life, was stabbed through the neck by a demon exorcist's sword. The two were once again separated by life and death, never to see the light of day again...
"Damn it, these people are so annoying! This Fox is too weak! Why don't you go to Qingqiu to shake the fox? What's with this Fox trying to be tough?! It's infuriating! Humph!"
When the Little Fox saw the white fox in the TV series being severely injured by the demon hunter, and its mate dying while shielding it from a sword, the whole Fox was so angry that it showed its tail and ears.
His tail fur was all puffed up, and his eyes were red, whether from heartache and sadness or anger at his lack of ambition, it was hard to tell. His long, slender, white fingers were almost tearing the pillow apart.
Song Yanqing carried the dishes out, glanced at the sullen Little Fox, and then looked again at the white fox on the TV screen that was being tortured to the point of being unable to maintain its human form, and frowned slightly.
"Sorry, I haven't seen this show. If you're unhappy, don't watch it anymore, I'll find you something else."
After placing the dishes on the table, Song Yanqing walked to the sofa, reached for the remote control, paused the TV series, and patted his head apologetically.
He accidentally touched the back of his ear, causing him to groan and go limp for a moment. He immediately reached out to cover his ear, glared at him, and his face flushed.
"Hmph! You're bad! Don't touch my ears!"
After Shang Shujue finished speaking, she moved her bottom two meters away from Song Yanqing, leaving him with only an angry and embarrassed back view, forgetting even to hide the tail behind her.
"Sorry, I'll get you a new TV. Just sit on the sofa and watch quietly. There are two more dishes, they'll be ready soon."
Looking at Shang Shujue's fluffy tail, Song Yanqing's fingers trembled slightly. He pursed his lips, suppressing the urge to pet it, changed the TV to a sweet, youthful romance drama set in a school, put down the remote, and left.
Shang Shujue covered her ears and turned to look at him, her face flushed. She seemed to have thought of something, then pouted and turned away from the TV series.
Song Yanqing, that big jerk, actually touched my ear! He's not even my partner! Humph, what a scoundrel! That TV show I was watching wasn't good either, I'm not watching it anymore!
He bit his cheek, his teeth itching again; he was hungry again, and his mood became very irritable.
Thinking of the TV series he had just watched, he snorted again and started deliberately making noise on the table, accidentally pushing the e-sports magazine to the ground.
Shang Shujue's attention was instantly drawn to the cover of the e-sports magazine, which featured a portrait of Song Yanqing and his teammates, taken in a mysterious manner.
Shang Shujue lay on the sofa, reached for the e-sports magazine, picked it up, and casually flipped through it. She glanced at Song Yanqing's page a few more times, then pouted and turned away, looking unhappy.
I don't know if she was unhappy that Song Yanqing looked so good in the photos and that other people saw them, or if she was unhappy that she always had a strong craving for Song Yanqing and wanted to bite him.
As Shang Shujue flipped through the pages, she suddenly came across a short story titled " The Little Fox Raised a Little Butterfly."
This novel is clearly a work of literature. Its appearance in e-sports related magazines is somewhat unusual. Coupled with the eye-catching title " Little Fox," Shang Shujue's curiosity was instantly piqued.
He sat up and began reading the story from the beginning. The story mainly tells the love story between Butterfly, a cold and self-conscious jungler in the e-sports circle, and Fox, a passionate and clingy mid-laner.
They are all e-sports players. Butterfly, as a skilled jungler, is not treated well by his own team and is a well-known scapegoat, a pitiful and helpless person with low self-esteem.
The Fox had always secretly loved him. She wanted to confess her feelings before, but found him to be very aloof, so she was too embarrassed to say it.
Later, when Butterfly was betrayed by his team, he realized that Butterfly's teammates had been bullying him all along. He was furious and pulled some strings behind the scenes.
Then he successfully bought Butterfly into his own team, secretly went back and beat up the people who had bullied Butterfly, and almost got banned from the competition because of it.
The two went through many things from being strangers to falling in love, and it was a process of mutual redemption, which was also quite exciting in the e-sports field.
Shang Shujue watched with great interest. He couldn't help but think of Song Yanqing's matches. Although he had been traveling for a long time, he had watched every single one of Song Yanqing's matches live and knew how good Song Yanqing was.
Therefore, he was very immersed in the role, not only immersing himself in Song Yanqing's character but also in his own.
It wasn't until he saw the two main characters kissing on the dormitory door that he finally belatedly realized something was wrong— the Fox and the Butterfly were... lovers?!
He and Song Yanqing...
Shang Shujue glanced at Song Yanqing serving the food, his heart pounding, and his face flushed even more. He abruptly closed the magazine, stood up from the sofa with a red face, and ran into the bedroom with the book in his hands, feeling extremely guilty.
"Huh? Where is everyone?"
Song Yanqing brought out the dishes and was about to call Shang Shujue to eat when he turned his head and didn't see him on the sofa. He paused for a moment, puzzled, looked around, put the dishes down, and then served rice and took out chopsticks.
" Little Fox, weren't you hungry? Where did you run off to? Come out and eat!"
Song Yanqing called out, but received no response. However, he heard sounds coming from the bedroom. He paused, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.
A small bulge appeared on the once neat and tidy bed. The Little Fox had wrapped itself completely in the blanket, with only the tip of its fluffy tail showing, and its body was trembling.
" Little Fox, what are you doing? Aren't you hungry?"
Song Yanqing walked over with some confusion, tugged at the blanket, and found that he couldn't budge it at all. His doubts deepened, and he couldn't help but lean over and pull the blanket directly.
"Hmm~ Don't pull my blanket, you're so annoying!"
Shang Shujue felt a little uncomfortable, and her body felt a bit hot. She hadn't felt much when she hadn't heard Song Yanqing's voice.
Hearing his voice suddenly made me feel even hotter, and my appetite and hunger intensified.
Shang Shujue's voice was soft and sweet, like a piece of sweet candy in her mouth. When she spoke, it sounded like she was coquettish. Upon hearing this, Song Yanqing stopped pulling the blanket up.
