"Whimper—"
Not even eight o'clock in the morning, the little fox who had just slept for less than four hours opened his eyes, stood on the bed, stretched his front paws forward, lifted his butt, and had a long lazy stretch.
"What are you doing so early and not sleeping?" After finishing his stretch, Ansheng fell back onto the bed, turned over, and looked at Yu Xueqing who was bustling about.
Mo Yiqing, a fellow night owl, sat on the edge of the bed, dressed in a black lace-trimmed underwear, looking dazedly at Yu Xueqing rummaging through the cabinets:
"What are you looking for so early in the morning?"
"That thing! You forgot? Tomorrow then it's me, then Lingren and Tang You." Yu Xueqing said, somewhat embarrassed: "Besides, you two should hurry and get up; we need to leave soon."
"It's the summer weekend now; it's hard to book seaside rooms. If we can't check in at ten in the morning, the hotel might not hold our room."
"Oh... I almost forgot, in two days we'll be ravaged by our periods. I'm so used to having you and my boyfriend remind me during stays." Mo Yiqing nodded gently:
"That being the case, we really should seize every moment to play at the beach, lest our blood splatters on the sand and scares others into thinking we've been bitten by sharks."
"......"
Yu Xueqing rolled her eyes; in the dormitory, her period is the most punctual, like a benchmark.
Originally, everyone's timing was different, but after living in the same dormitory, everyone's timing began to align.
Yu Xueqing raises the alarm in the morning, then it's Mo Yiqing and Lingren's turn, only Tang You is a bit late.
"So, do you have that thing with you? If not, we might have to buy it later."
"I definitely didn't bring any pads! My boyfriend always prepares them when I'm at school, so do you expect me to feel around after getting into bed?" Mo Yiqing said, completely sure, looking all bold and confident.
Although she didn't really understand how responsibilities should be shared between couples during a period, Mo Yiqing's straightforward thinking was:
The whole care process during the period, including pads or tampons and such, isn't it normal for the boyfriend to prepare them?
Out of thirty days each month, excluding the period time, the remaining time is spent taking care of the younger sibling by the older sister. Now, the older sister is sick and uncomfortable; who else will take care of her if not him?
It can't be that all the benefits are taken by him, and I still have to carefully take care afterward? Wouldn't I lose everything then?
"...Can boyfriends be used like this?" Yu Xueqing looked at Mo Yiqing with a puzzled face, scratching her head as it seemed her brain felt slightly itchy.
"I don't understand, I don't want to think about it. Xiaolan, get up quickly to poop and pee, we need to leave soon."
"Whimper-wimper..."
Upon hearing this, Ansheng sighed in relief: "Our Ah Qing is so good, she doesn't develop a competitive spirit in some weird places, pointing at a fox's nose and having her study gynecological nursing practitioner exams."
"Otherwise... Ansheng as a fox would be numb."
Ansheng secretly grumbled, leisurely jogged outside to water the tea trees on the flowerbed.
After fertilizing and watering the lone seedling, the little fox climbed over the wall and prepared to visit Old Chen's house.
Although Ansheng was busy earning Wish Power last night, he didn't forget about the tea competition.
He still needed Old Chen's help with some tea-making tools and raw material picking.
Unfortunately, he didn't know where Old Chen had gone last night to mess around, as Ansheng didn't see anyone at his house.
"Master Fox? Coming to my house for breakfast?"
Just as Ansheng went out, he encountered Bai Tao sitting in front of his house, holding a book and a notebook as if she was writing something.
Upon seeing the little fox, a warm smile spread across Bai Tao's cheeks, she pointed inside the house, and sincerely invited the little fox.
"To your house for breakfast?"
"Not going, not going, I'm scared you'll trick me into taking postgrad exams, especially philosophy which is the hardest to get a job in."
Ansheng glanced at Bai Tao, his face held an expression he couldn't sustain, waved his hand repeatedly to refuse, and quickly passed by her house.
"Master Fox, don't go! Should I tell you a story?" Bai Tao hurriedly went forward to persuade him, she had worked hard last night preparing the lesson.
As the saying goes, those who differ in their paths do not seek each other, helping Master Fox systematically learn knowledge, dispel his wildness, and assist him in the city to passionately sell cuteness for food and drink.
If conditions allow, she would deeply explain "Ethics," "Marxist Philosophy," "Capital" to Master Fox.
Seeing the political class teacher pursuing him, the little fox displayed his skill of running over eaves and walls and disappeared before Bai Tao.
Bai Tao originally wanted to chase after him, but just as she got onto the wall, she saw a young man holding a toothbrush and cup, with a circle of foam around his mouth in the courtyard.
The young man's face froze looking at Bai Tao, his original movements of brushing teeth and washing face were paused.
Bai Tao blushed and awkwardly returned outside the wall.
...
Ansheng arrived at Old Chen's house, knocked on the door, and the sleepy-eyed, slightly tipsy Old Chen opened the door.
"Whimper-whimper—"
Ansheng raised his paw to gesture, seeing this, Old Chen squatted down with a bitter face, saying:
"My dear Master Fox! Doing this makes it really easy to end up in prison!"
"Whimper?"
Ansheng looked at Old Chen with a surprised face, feeling he hadn't done anything, so why was he talking about prison?
"Just last night! I was at the same bar for a gathering, I watched you tie someone up with my own eyes, I wanted to chase after you, but couldn't leave at the time....."
Old Chen spoke with a bitter smile, trying to point out that the little fox's behavior of kidnapping someone last night was wrong:
"You didn't take his kidney, did you?"
Ansheng rolled his eyes, typed:
[Stop nosing into Master Fox's affairs, that guy last night is named Li Wen, a boyfriend of one of my sisters, and I was just purely there to help.]
[By the way, prepare an eight-inch or so cast iron wok for frying tea; you should have other tea-making tools at home, right? If not, just arrange a charcoal drying room for tea processing, and when you know the cost tell me, I'll transfer the money to you on WeChat....]
After pushing the phone back, Old Chen glanced at the screen content, first froze, rubbed his eyes, widened his eyes and gasped, saying:
"Master Fox... is this really appropriate?"
[What's appropriate or not, I'll split the tea leaves fried by then with you, and also, I'm going to the seaside to play for a few days soon, help take care of the tea trees in my home's flowerbed, see you in a few days.]
The little fox confidently typed, with old acquaintance Old Chen, he wouldn't take advantage. He'll pay whatever the rental fee should be.
Old Chen's money isn't entirely blown by the wind.
After Lin Ying registered WeChat for the little fox, she also transferred twenty thousand for Master Fox's daily expenses and online shopping.
Watching Master Fox leave, Old Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying:
"Is this about rental costs? Master Fox frying Xia Dong's firewood iron pot oolong in the Xiabei Region....."
"Tea personally fried by Master Fox..."
"Can I even taste it? Although Master Fox is not entirely serious holding an assault rifle, he's still a genuine celestial being. I won't have a shortened life after drinking, right?"
Old Chen looked at the phone screen, holding a breathless expression, his face turned red: "Ah Hong... what a sin!"
"He forced Master Fox to come out and perform for a living!"
...
What Old Chen thought, the little fox who had long left and was already on the sunny beach trip did not know.
Mo Yiqing was driving, Yu Xueqing sat in the passenger seat, Master Fox's little feet pressed against the backseats, lying on the armrest box with a joyful face, making soft tender noises from his mouth.
"We're almost at the seaside, not going to stream live? Later I and Qiu Lingling will change into swimsuits, posing as backdrops for you."
"...no, no, I'm afraid of being banned forever." Yu Xueqing looked at Mo Yiqing, spoke somberly:
"A single stretch from you got me banned for half a day, really changing into swimsuits and exposing the bowl-sized scar on your chest, the AI review will jump through the net cable and knock my head....."
"Meh! The review deer's tolerance is low, and it can't bear seeing viewers enjoying an eight-course meal."
