Wen Wan was busy stroking the fox's fur, and Xiaobai was lying on the ground, so she didn't pay much attention to his feet. After a careful inspection, she found that he was indeed seriously injured.

It seemed like something had pierced the pad of its foot, and bright red blood kept flowing out. The contrast was even more striking when it fell on the white snow. No wonder it was unwilling to move after only taking a few steps.

The reason why Xiaobai was injured today was probably because there was snow everywhere in the mountains and forests. It was difficult for both humans and animals to see clearly what was under their feet when walking. Foxes did not wear shoes like humans, so it was very likely that they would accidentally step on sharp objects and get injured.

"Xiaobai, don't worry. Although you are seriously injured, you won't become lame if you get timely treatment. Don't worry, I won't let you become a lame fox." Wen Wan rubbed his head with her hand again, and comforted him with a playful smile.

Xiaobai hummed and rubbed her hand, as if to say "thank you".

Wenwan's palm felt a little itchy when it rubbed her, but she didn't avoid it. Instead, she rubbed its head hard.

Then, smiling gently, she asked him, "We don't have any medical supplies right now. You have to come with us to get treatment. There's a temple not far from the forest. Are you willing to come with us?"

This time, Xiaobai didn't respond with a sound. Instead, he rolled over and stood up, then grabbed her knees with his two front paws, as if he wanted to jump up.

"What's the matter?" Wen Wan asked softly, then tilted her head slightly to look at it, guessing, "Do you want me to carry you back?"

He supported himself with one paw, then used the other paw to scratch Wen Wan hard, and then let out two "howls" as if in response.

"So cute!" Wen Wan couldn't help but praise it, then slowly stood up, bent down slightly, pinched its body with both hands, and picked it up with a little effort.

"Oh, you really are not light, and the meals you eat are pretty good!" Wen Wan held him and shook him gently a few times. After feeling his weight, she couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng also stood up. Under Xiaobai's frightened eyes, he slowly moved closer to her and tentatively extended his hand, "Is it very heavy? How about I hold it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Wen Wan could refuse, Xiaobai made a sound of rejection first, screaming "Aoao" wildly.

Wen Wan couldn't help but feel a little helpless. She quickly hugged it tightly, smoothed its fur, and coaxed it softly, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid. Isn't it okay not to let him hold you?"

Zhou Ziheng looked at the man and the fox in front of him with resentment. "You two are the only ones who have a good relationship, right? Why did you exclude him?"

What's wrong with him? Is he not handsome enough, or not gentle enough? Why should I ignore him?

He occupied his wife's arms and treated him like this. Is he a human being? Is he still a human being?

He roared angrily in his heart, and after calming down he remembered...it was indeed not a human, but a cunning white fox!

Damn it! It’s really damned annoying! Just as damned as that little curly one at home!!

Wen Wan caught a glimpse of her brother Zhou's dark face and couldn't help but want to laugh. How could he be so handsome but have such bad luck with foxes?

She forced herself to suppress her smile, then earnestly admonished the fox in her arms, "Xiaobai! This is my boyfriend and my fiancé. Do you know what boyfriend and fiancé mean?"

"What I mean is... he's the person I'm going to marry in the future. He's the person I love very much, and the person I want to spend my life with. He's a really, really good person, and he's definitely not a bad person."

"I don't know why you're afraid of him, but I can tell you seriously, you really don't need to be afraid of him. He won't do anything to you! Don't worry!"

Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed after hearing this. His face, which had been as dark as the bottom of a pot, gradually turned back to normal. He even nodded in agreement.

Wen Wan lowered her head and smiled silently when she saw this, then continued, "He may seem a little difficult to get along with, but he's actually a very warm person."

"He may appear to be indifferent to you, but he actually really likes you. You keep treating him this way, and even though he doesn't say anything, he feels very uncomfortable inside."

"So... no matter how much you're afraid of him or how much you dislike him, please, for my sake, be a little nicer to him."

Zhou Ziheng: “…”

Uncomfortable? Who is uncomfortable? He is uncomfortable?

Nonsense! He's just a fox. He won't get mad if he's not liked! If he doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it!

...Okay, he admitted that he was still a little uncomfortable. He was hated even though he had done nothing wrong. Anyone would feel wronged!

He glanced at Xiaobai calmly, then sighed imperceptibly.

Xiaobai was lying motionless in Wen Wan's arms, and it was unknown how much he had heard.

Wen Wan raised her hand and touched its head, but did not force it too much. She just freed her hand and tugged at Zhou Ziheng's sleeve, signaling him to go back first.

Zhou Ziheng was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble unreasonably. He took a deep breath, let go of the anger in his heart, and then followed Wen Wan's footsteps and left.

Wen Wan hadn't expected Xiaobai to change quickly. Although he could understand human language and was very smart, he was still just a little fox who knew nothing about the world.

But what she never expected was that what she said just now seemed to have really worked. Although Xiaobai was still unwilling to get close to Zhou Ziheng, his attitude towards him was much better than before. At least he would not tremble all over when he got closer.

In this way, the two men and the fox returned to the temple chatting.

The monks in the temple looked at them from afar and thought that Wen Wan was holding a dog in her arms. When they got closer, they found that it was a snow-white fox.

Although they have lived in the mountains all year round, they have never gone deep into the nearby forests. They have seen a few wild animals before, but this is the first time they have seen such an aggressive type as a fox.

Whether it is "Investiture of the Gods" or other books, foxes have never been said to be good creatures. Every time they are mentioned, they are said to be cunning and crafty. Some timid monks were so scared that their faces turned pale on the spot, and some of the more serious ones even had black eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

Under such circumstances, even someone as shameless as Wen Wan felt a little embarrassed.

But she could understand it. After all, everyone is afraid of different things and the degree of fear is also different. Something that is extremely cute in your eyes may be as scary as a jackal, tiger or leopard in the eyes of others.

Don’t think that others are being pretentious and saying things like “I can’t touch you, so what’s so scary?” They will just be scared when they see you!

If everyone could have more empathy, there would be fewer unnecessary fights!

So... Wen Wan couldn't help but worry about Xiaobai's stay or departure.
