"Oh right, Mom and Dad, Xiaolan has a habit of going out every night for a stroll, so remember to leave the door open for him. Also, he doesn't like gnawing on big meat bones, prefers lean pork belly, drinks only blue-bottled cola, and can't have more than 150 ml a day..."
At the moment of farewell, Ah Qing reluctantly reminded her parents of Xiaolan's care guide.
If it were other parents, faced with such quirky care conditions for a little fox, they might agree on the surface but feed it dog food or leftovers at home, turning the nice little fox into an oversized gas tank.
But Ah Qing knew, with her dad's personality, as long as he has a mouthful of bran, he'd make sure to prepare two bowls of meat soup mixed with rice for the little fox, so she didn't have to worry about the diet.
After all... the little fox really brings wealth, and her dad has no resistance to anything that can attract wealth.
"Xiaolan, you have to be good and make video calls to me every night. Don't just pass a month and completely forget about me, got it!" Ah Qing looked at Xiaolan seriously and said.
"Ying....."
Ansheng waved his hand, indicating that Ah Qing needn't worry about him not getting a ticket.
"Mom, Dad, Xiaolan, I'm off to school!"
After placing her luggage in the car, Ah Qing turned back to hug her parents and Xiaolan, smiling as she waved goodbye to her family.
With the roar of the Dodge Hellcat, Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing headed toward the high-speed rail station.
"Speaking of which...."
"I remember when she was a freshman, we sent Ah Qing to study in Jinling, right? How come she's going to school in Chang'an now?"
After watching Ah Qing leave, Yu Zhenghong finally relaxed his serious expression, looking puzzled at his wife.
Chen Peipei glanced at her husband, twitching her mouth as she asked, "Do you remember? Do you remember which year Ah Qing is in now?"
"Third year!"
"Fourth year!"
Yu Zhenghong was stunned: "For the fourth year... shouldn't she be going out for an internship? How come she still..."
Chen Peipei hugged the little fox and rolled her eyes, saying, "Busy with work every day, don't even know when our girl got taken away by a blond. Ah Qing's school is a five-year program, one institute two campuses, four academic districts, and an agricultural research institute in the Imperial Capital."
"The first year in Jinling is for learning theory, the second year goes to Luoyang for fieldwork, the third year goes to Yun Gui, now for the fourth year in the Qinling District, and the fifth year for an internship in the Imperial Capital."
The Xinxing Agricultural Science College, one institute two campuses, four colleges, and one ultra-large research institute, with subjects divided into animal and agricultural disciplines, is an experimental type of university.
Although the districts are different, the classmates are still the same, and the dormitory is still the same old wooden bed. Apart from the change of regions, there are basically no changes.
Real biologists and botanists don't sit in offices every day. They're either living in the mountains or in the valleys, battling bizarre things in the forest.
Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect tame beasts, while the Medicine King Sect disciples prevent plants from sneak attacking without chivalry.
Ah Qing, apart from her first year of theory, spent the other two years either in the fields or living on the edge of the ravine.
If it weren't for the extraordinary teaching staff at the Xinxing Agricultural Research Institute, Chen Peipei wouldn't agree with Ah Qing signing up no matter what.
How could a young girl make herself look like a savage every day?
"What? One institute, two campuses, and four academic districts? How is it that I'm squatting wild in the principal's office?"
Sitting in the pickup truck, listening to Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei talk about Ah Qing's school, Ansheng's little fox face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, "Doesn't that mean Ansheng will never get his revenge?"
"Master Fox, please bear with it a bit, we'll be home soon."
Hearing Master Fox's whimper, Yu Zhenghong didn't realize the little fox was cursing him, only thinking that his old pickup was too bumpy, making Master Fox uncomfortable, and could only helplessly comfort him.
"......"
But when Ansheng heard Yu Zhenghong speaking, he showed deep despair.
The fifteenth minute after Ah Qing left, missing her.
Missing those days when she could play support and banter, order takeout and scratch his itch on the first day.
Although Ansheng was unwilling to admit that being scratched on the neck and cheeks felt comfortable, and being patted on the butt was somewhat enjoyable....
But Ah Qing just knows how to take good care of those bizarre little needs of Ansheng that he's unwilling to voice.
One could only say that Ah Qing understands everything, even if he doesn't understand, she can create needs for him, very in sync.
But with Old Deng and Chen Peipei's words...
"Yang....." Ansheng immediately let out a long sigh, having no expectation at all for the so-called new home.
Even though Ansheng wasn't born in Jule, he had often visited here in his past life.
The Xia Dong people's homes, except for the difference in area, the other decorations were simply like a copy-paste creation.
As expected.
Upon arriving at the new home, there was an electronic candle-lit shrine placed in the entrance garden.
To the right upon entering was the kitchen and dining room, the left had a larger living room area, but a gigantic hardwood sofa was sitting straight in the living room, and on the hardwood table was a Kung Fu tea tray and loads of teacups.
And on the TV background wall, two straightforwardly cut marble Roman columns were embedded on either side of the wall.
"Master Fox, have a seat, I'll get you a cola."
Back home, Yu Zhenghong worshipped the God of Wealth and then prepared to go out himself to buy the things Ah Qing mentioned that Master Fox liked to eat.
"......."
Ansheng sat on the hardwood sofa, gazing at the carved and ornate sofa back, and lifted his little fox paw to gently tap on the hardwood sofa with his nails.
"Doo doo doo..."
Master Fox tapped the hardwood sofa, which immediately responded with a resonant and crisp echo, demonstrating its solid quality to Master Fox.
Ansheng's facial expression was hard to maintain as he looked at Chen Peipei, sitting beside him, and said:
"......If I'm not mistaken, this should be a front-visible hardwood furniture set, right? Costing around tens of thousands or so? How about I pitch in some, and we replace the furniture with leather sofas?"
Hardwood furniture is stable and dignifies authority, suitable for more formal or stiff seating occasions.
But for a little fox, leather is the treasure, with fabric sofas being the second-best choice....
Huge hardwood sofas are nothing short of life-threatening for the fox!
"Hmm? What's up, little guy?" Chen Peipei, lying on the cushion for an afternoon nap, paused the Min opera on Note platform and looked at the little fox when she heard it whimper.
If it were the old house, Ansheng might just kick his legs up and roll around on the sofa, but considering the hardwood sofa's rigid texture, the little fox just let out a long sigh to Chen Peipei, waving his paw.
"It's nothing.... just that the hardwood's a bit pinching, I'll adjust my seating position, it's fine....."
"Are you missing Ah Qing? Come on, let's give Ah Qing a video call."
Chen Peipei smiled and pulled the little fox over, opening WeChat to video call Ah Qing.
However.
The video call went out, showing the other side was busy; Ah Qing's high-speed train had probably left the urban area, entering the mountains or tunnels and had absolutely no signal.
Ansheng: "......"
Let it be destroyed!
Tonight.... no, bear with it a bit, wait until Lin Ying returns from her business trip to say goodbye before leaving.
Sister Lin Fu takes such good care of him, he couldn't just run away without a word when going far away, that would be very impolite.
