Chapter 83
Shi Wen said sullenly, "I don't think you're bad at expressing yourself. When we first met, I felt like you always knew what I was thinking, like you could..."
Mind reading
"
Yan Kexing: "No, I'm just very concerned about you."
Shi Wen, "I understand. I should communicate with you more, instead of waiting for you to observe."
Yan Kexing: "Me too."
Shi Wen let go of him, flopped onto the bed, pulled the blanket over her face, and said in a muffled voice, "Well, I have to admit, I want to raise that little fox, but I'm worried that it will be hard to say goodbye to it later."
Yan Kexing: "If we really do part ways, I'll take you to see it later."
Shi Wen, "The same goes for the two Hu Zai. If they were released back into the wild, I'd like to visit them sometime."
Yan Kexing: "Sure. We can visit them during holidays when they've grown up, gone to university, or gone out to work."
"I'm still a little worried. The little fox is Variant Beasts; will we be able to raise it properly?" Shi Wen, covering her head with the blanket. "What if we hinder the little fox's growth?"
Yan Kexing reached out and tugged at his ear. "I have experience. I'll raise them with you. I tamed Yan Shi, so taming another little fox won't be difficult."
Shi Wen: "Then I'm all set. Do you have any problems on your end?"
Yan Kexing: "I'm worried that with more and more animals on the ranch, you'll neglect me."
"How could that be?!" Shi Wen yanked the blanket off her face, her eyes wide. "I could ignore anyone but you!"
Yan Kexing: "Then I have no further questions."
Shi Wen, holding Yan Kexing, "Do I make you feel insecure too?"
Yan Kexing: "I'm just worried that you won't be able to manage it all."
Shi Wen, "No, it won't. Yiqing's design is almost finished. Once she's done, we'll set up the intelligent management system on the ranch, and then we won't be so busy."
After thinking for Shi Wen said somewhat shyly in a low voice, "I just wanted to spend some time alone with you and didn't want to invite so many people, which is why I specifically requested the intelligent management system to be implemented."
At this stage, hiring someone is definitely more convenient and cheaper than installing a complete intelligent management system on the ranch.
However, with more people Shi Wen, Shi Wen felt that his attention was inevitably diverted, and he paid less attention to Yan Kexing's side.
Furthermore, there are too many people around, and too much attention is being diverted.
There are too many people, which does have some impact on their lives.
Yan Kexing vaguely knew what he was thinking, but this was the first time he had heard him say it seriously.
After listening, Yan Kexing earnestly promised, "Once I finish what I'm doing now, and in a couple of years when I'm not so busy, I'll shift my work focus to the neighborhood."
Shi Wen, "It's okay. I think you're so handsome at work!"
Shi Wen blushed slightly, but her eyes were bright. "You shine when you work."
Yan Kexing lowered his head and kissed him. "You too."
Shi Wen feel a little ashamed to confide in someone, but it's still quite important.
The two communicated effectively, resolved their differences, and felt closer to each other.
Ge Yue said frankly that doing scientific research is tough enough, but having to eat dog food from her supervisor every day makes her Shi Wen to sweeten things up.
Shi Wen she heard Ge Yue say this, and said speechlessly, "You just want to trick them into drinking honey."
Ge Yue matter-of-factly, "Yes, we've already started calling him 'Master-in-law,' shouldn't you give him a gift to mark the change of address?"
Lin Chengqian peeked out. "Brother Shi, if you give us honey, we can call you 'Master-in-law' in front of the teacher."
Shi Wen, "No need. I'm not interested. The honey for you is already prepared. I'll repackage it for you once the bottles I ordered arrive in a couple of days."
Ge Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Really? I thought we wouldn't get any!"
"If you really don't get any, you'll tear the roof down!" Shi Wen glanced at her. "Don't worry, you'll each get one. As for what to do with it, that's up to you."
Ge Yue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master!"
After finishing their conversation about honey, Ge Yue Shi Wen patiently chatting with Heiwa, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shi, can they even understand what you're saying?"
Shi Wen himself wasn't sure. "Can they understand the general idea? I feel like they can understand some of it."
Ge Yue: "Maybe they're just pretending. They're so smart. I noticed it before; no matter what they're being said, whether they understand it or not, they'll pretend to be deep in thought, especially about the parts they don't understand. They'll act extra deep in thought to deal with the parts they don't understand."
Before Ge Yue could finish speaking, An Wa stood up unhappily and shouted at Ge Yue, "Woof!"
Lin Chengqian smiled, "You definitely understood that sentence."
Ge Yue quickly ran to the side. "No, no, no, it's possible they sensed from my expression and tone that I was talking badly about them."
Shi Wen's heart skipped a beat. "Shall we conduct an experiment?"
Ge Yue: "Ouch! Brother Shi, don't trick me! They hold grudges! I'm not doing experiments with them!"
Lin Chengqian: "Look at you, so pathetic."
Ge Yue: "Senior Brother Lin, you're quite promising. Why don't you come and help with this experiment?"
Lin Chengqian looked into Heiwa's eyes and chickened out. "Let's forget it, I can't shoulder this great responsibility."
Chapter 83
Upon Shi Wen that they had decided to take in the little fox, Zhu Ji quickly sent the little fox to his home.
This little fox is pure white, with a big tail and big eyes.
Shi Wen gently took the little fox and felt that it weighed less than two pounds, almost the same weight as his chick.
He looked down at the little fox's big, round eyes. The little fox seemed a little scared. When it met Shi Wen's eyes, it shrank its head as if trying to hide, then stuck out its pink tongue and licked Shi Wen's hand. "Eek."
The little fox's cry was also low, small, sweet, and soft.
Shi Wen wondered if letting it out would frighten it with the Hu Zai.
