Chapter 201 Today is Boss Xu!

At this moment, even the desert wind became gentle.

The little foxes' paws were greasy and sticky. Qi Xiao took out a pack of wet wipes from his backpack, took out one, and gently pinched the four foxes' greasy little paws.

In the moonlight, his lowered brows looked particularly gentle.

Fox Sibao twisted his body.

"Don't move." He whispered, but still allowed the little fox to roll around on his lap.

The wet wipes carefully wiped every pink pad, even the small grains of sand between the toes. Seeing this, Fox Sansan immediately came over and rubbed his furry head against his palm.

Five little foxes squatted neatly in a row, their furry tails sweeping small fan shapes on the sand, waiting eagerly for Qi Xiao to wipe their paws one by one.

Xu Ying lay down relaxedly on the soft sand, the fatigue from a whole day of recording finally taking over at this moment - although he didn't do any physical work, dealing with those difficult artists was really exhausting.

With Qi Xiao helping her take care of the little foxes, she was happy and at ease.

After a while.

The subtle sound of sand rubbing against each other approached, and Xu Ying lazily opened his eyelids.

The moonlight poured down, and Qi Xiao had already knelt on one knee in front of her without her knowing.

His slender fingers were pulling a brand new wet wipe from the package.

"What about you? Do you want to wipe your paws?"

Qi Xiao shook the wet wipes, his voice hinting at a smile, but his eyes were serious, and only her shadow was reflected in his dark pupils.

The moonlight slanted across his brow, and his slightly upturned eyes were immersed in the bright light.

His usually sharp eyes softened at this moment, as if he was holding half a glass of warm wine.

The little foxes huddled together and giggled, leaving a few messy paw prints in the sand.

Fox Sansan and Fox Sibao had already hugged Xu Ying's wrists on the left and right, and their furry little paws pushed her hands towards Qi Xiao.

Hu Xiaowu even jumped directly onto Qi Xiao's shoulder and leaned forward with his head against his chin.

[Sister, please reach out! ]

[Brother Qi Xiao feels so good when he wipes his paws! ]

[That’s right, I’ll even gently tickle my paw pads~]

Xu Ying looked at her hand that was "kidnapped" by the little foxes with a helpless smile. Before she could respond, Qi Xiao had already taken her hand naturally.

His movements were very gentle, and the cool wet wipes covered her fingertips, from the gaps between her fingers to her palms, and even carefully wiped off the sauce on her wrists.

“They are more active than I am.”

Qi Xiao chuckled softly, his voice carrying a rare sense of relaxation. Under the moonlight, his focused profile looked exceptionally gentle.

Fox Sansan took the opportunity to put his little paw into Qi Xiao's hand, and he patted his head lightly: "Greedy ghost, didn't you wipe it just now?"

Xu Ying looked at this scene and suddenly felt that his nerves, which had been tense all day, had relaxed.

She shook her wiped hands and said, "It seems someone is very popular with small animals."

Qi Xiao's ears turned slightly red as he put the wipes away: "It's just that they are more familiar with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fox Sibao crawled into his arms, and tugged at his collar with his little paws to find a wet wipe to play drop the handkerchief.

【Brother Qi Xiao is shy! 】

[I just wanted to wipe my sister's hands~]

The little foxes chattered and exposed each other's secrets, making Xu Ying laugh out loud.

Qi Xiao helplessly watched these little foxes teasing him in front of him. They were really bullying him because he couldn't understand fox language.

As the night deepened, the desert wind blew past with a cool breeze.

Xu Ying rubbed Hu Xiaowu's head, stood up and patted the sand off his clothes.

"It's time to go home." She glanced at her watch, her voice a little tired. "I have to be the boss for the guests tomorrow."

Qi Xiao nodded, stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

The little foxes refused to give up. Fox Sansan bit Qi Xiao's trouser legs, and Fox Sibao rolled directly to Qi Xiao's feet, exposing his belly.

【Play for five more minutes~】

【Daddy, don’t leave~】

Qi Xiao bent down and rubbed their ears one by one: "Be good, I'll bring you new food next time."

【When is the next time? 】

The fox cubs squatted on the ground and looked at him eagerly.

Being stared at by five such eyes, Qi Xiao felt that his heart was about to melt. Although he could not understand the fox language, he seemed to understand what the little fox was asking.

"Come when you are free, within a week."

"I'm still collaborating with the crew of 'Desert Survival Rules'."

Only then did the fennec foxes give up.

Xu Ying took the backpack off the dune scooter. He had nothing when he left, and when he came back, the backpack was full of local specialties given by the villagers of Xicun.

"I send you."

Qi Xiao reached out and took the backpack from her shoulder, his movements so natural as if he had done it a thousand times.

The two walked side by side on the sand dunes, their shadows stretched long by the moonlight.

When they arrived at the door of the shelter, Qi Xiao handed the backpack back to her, his fingertips accidentally brushed against the back of her hand.

"Good night." Qi Xiao and Xu Ying's fox cubs waved, their voices softer than the night wind.

【Goodnight, Daddy, please remember to visit us often! 】

Xu Ying stood under the porch, watching his figure gradually blend into the moonlight.

The next morning.

Xu Ying got up in a good mood, because today she was the boss!

Things have changed, and it is finally her turn to bully other artists!

Xu Ying hummed a little tune and finished washing up. The program team informed her that breakfast would be delivered to her today, so she didn't have to make breakfast herself.

After washing up, Xu Ying opened the door to the shelter and saw a table beneath the program's tent laden with food—golden fried eggs, sizzling bacon, and a mountain of pancakes drizzled with honey. Beside it sat a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, dripping with water.

She reached out and grabbed a piece of crispy toast, bit into it, and with a crunch, the aroma of butter immediately filled her mouth.

"Isn't this too rich?" she muttered, and then she saw a bowl of fruit yogurt in the corner, with blueberries and strawberries shining freshly.

Is it because she is the boss that I am treated so well today?

Just at this moment, a man in a baseball cap brought steak and shrimp and placed them in front of Xu Ying.

Xu Ying was shocked and suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that the program crew was playing a prank on her?

When she looked up, she found that the person who brought her breakfast was Director Shao, the program's chief director.

Director Shao saw Xu Ying's suspicious face and explained, "Because you helped the villagers of Xicun promote a wave of agricultural and sideline products yesterday, the program team also posted the product links overnight."

"The response has been very positive, and we have achieved our small goal of helping farmers. The leaders at the station are very satisfied."

Xu Ying was surprised. He had just wanted to smooth things over and make his fellow villagers feel better, but he didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect!

Xu Ying's eyes lit up, and he hinted frantically, "Are there any other rewards in that box?"

Director Shao nodded: "Yes, there are huge bonuses."

"I'd like to ask Station Master Xu to keep up the hard work!"

After yesterday's recording, the sharp-eyed Director Shao had already seen that Xu Ying might very well be the highlight of their show, carrying the entire show with her IQ and EQ.
