She stared at the familiar face, her mind went blank for a moment, before she realized that she had been dragged back by this man.
I am still in the form of a fox.
Oh no, the sky we just managed to lift has collapsed again.
She instinctively grabbed the blanket to cover her face, but before she could even put it on, the man yanked it off.
"Waaah..." Su Yuxi scolded him angrily, telling him not to go too far, but to outsiders, the voice that came out sounded like a soft and aggrieved tone.
She shut up; the man couldn't understand what she was saying.
Fu Huaijin stared intently at her, his eyes deep and focused. His Adam's apple bobbed silently twice as he softly tempted her, "Are you hungry? I've had a lot of food prepared. Would you like to go down and eat?"
"You can have whatever you want to eat?"
Of course she had to eat, but she couldn't make it too obvious. She had to pretend to be clueless, looking left and right, playing the role of an unawakened little fox, so that others wouldn't notice anything amiss.
Fu Huaijin pursed his lips, said nothing, gently picked her up, and carried her to the bathroom.
When Su Yuxi came out again, her fur had been simply groomed, her little paws had been washed clean, and there were two pink and tender paw pads under her paws, which were very cute.
The man had several scratches on his arm.
This man is so annoying. He tells her not to touch him, but she insists on moving. He also hugs her and sniffs her all the time. His behavior gives her the illusion that this man has recognized her.
But... that's impossible.
Humans and foxes are too different, and he didn't put a camera on himself.
This man must have some psychological issues; he wants this stunningly beautiful fox to comfort him.
Hmph.
Fu Huaijin carried the little fox to the dining table, placed her comfortably on his long lap, and then elegantly picked up a crystal-clear shrimp dumpling with his chopsticks, his eyes full of doting: "Do you like this?"
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Su Yuxi sniffed hard with her pink and white nose. She didn't feel any nausea or resistance. She slightly opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and rolled the shrimp dumpling inside.
In fact, in the past few days, she has felt that her appetite has almost returned to normal. She is not so picky about food anymore and can even eat pheasant, let alone her favorite fresh shrimp dumplings.
"Good girl." Fu Huaijin smiled gently, his eyes following her chewing movements. When he saw her swallow, he felt the happiness of an old father seeing his child finally willing to eat. He was even more delighted and gently rubbed her head with his large hand, praising her without reservation.
"Have another one."
"Eat this, and this too."
At the long dining table, a person and a fox harmoniously formed a warm and beautiful scene. One of them was feeding the fox with great enthusiasm, while the other ate with relish.
This strange scene quickly reached the ears of Chu Juan and the others.
But these days Fu Huaijin is still angry with Su Yuxi because of her. It seems that as long as he doesn't find her, his anger will not subside. He didn't even dare to ask how his brother's health was recovering.
As for why he caught a fox, who knows! But it's not bad to have an animal to soothe his emotions.
As the sun set in the afternoon, the sky turned a gentle orange-red.
Fu Huaijin carried Su Yuxi as they strolled along the lake, quietly enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
Occasionally, a few people would pass by and see a man and a fox, and a strange feeling would rise in their hearts. Just a few days ago, the man was in a hurry to find his wife, but now he was leisurely taking a walk with a little fox in his arms.
Is this due to excessive stimulation?
Lin Xiao, perhaps having received the news, rushed over. Seeing his brother holding a pet, his two sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and he strode up to him, his voice serious: "Since you're alright now, let's discuss the matter of the C region in the United States."
Upon hearing the words "M Country C Region," Fu Huaijin reflexively covered his fox ears, fearing that Su Yuxi would recall some unpleasant images. He gave Lin Xiao a warning look: "We can talk about it tonight. Leave now."
Lin Xiao stared intently at the familiar face, then glanced at his fiercely protective actions, and a surge of indescribable confusion welled up within him. Was this guy having a mental breakdown? Or had he lost his mind? Did he even know what he was doing?
"Do you want me to contact a psychiatrist for you?" Lin Xiao's words were laced with undisguised sarcasm, and his eyes were filled with naked disdain. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even give them a second glance, but this was his brother, and there was nothing he couldn't say. Besides, his current behavior was indeed very problematic.
Instead of doing his job, he's just taking a walk with a fox. Is he crazy, or is he the one who's gone mad?
A hint of impatience flashed in Fu Huaijin's eyes. He placed Su Yuxi on the bench, patted her head soothingly twice, and whispered, "Be good, wait here. Don't run around. I'll take you back in a bit."
After giving his instructions, he stood up, reluctantly looked away, and turned to walk past the forest school.
Lin Xiao was amused by his attitude, took a deep look at the fox lying on the bench, and turned to follow.
As Su Yuxi listened to their footsteps fading into the distance, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She glanced up at their departing figures, and once she was sure they had created enough distance, she immediately jumped off the bench and looked around for a path to escape.
When she realized the man was about to turn around, she jumped back in fright.
Fu Huaijin saw the little fox lying there peacefully, his gaze very gentle, but when he looked at Lin Xiao, his expression immediately turned cold.
"Wasn't the matter in country M entrusted to you to handle entirely?"
“Leaving it to me doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about it at all. You could ignore your injury for now, but how much time have you wasted looking for Su Yuxi these past few days?”
"Now you don't look for anyone, but bring back this beast, and spend all your time with it. Have you lost your mind?" Lin Xiao's words to him were utterly merciless.
Fu Huaijin warned, "She's not an animal, watch your words."
Lin Xiao clicked his tongue lightly: "Do you need to? That's just a fox, not Su Yuxi."
He can't even say a word; he must be seriously ill.
Su Yuxi scratched at the seat anxiously. "Just talk business, why are you always glancing over here?"
This prevented her from finding a chance to escape.
She waited and waited, until the two became increasingly engrossed in their conversation, and Fu Huaijin turned his head away less and less.
She seized the opportunity to jump down and hopped and skipped into the flowerbed.
He started running along the route he had just planned.
Unfortunately, she had only run fifty meters when a shadow fell in front of her, followed by a pair of leather boots.
Su Yuxi cursed inwardly, thinking, "This is a case of dying before even getting started!"
That stinky man.
