"Xiaolan!"
Ah Qing sat on the flower bed in front of the house. From afar, she saw the little fox with its four small legs, strolling back leisurely: "We're about to head out, if you don't hurry back, all the freeze-dried snacks will be gone!"
Ah Qing waved at the little fox, encouraging it to quicken its short steps.
"If I still remember the way home, that already makes me a good fox among the Fox Fox, so don't set the bar too high..." Ansheng rolled his eyes and retorted.
"Where are we going to have fun? If it's to help Old Deng set up the venue or something, forget about afternoon tea, I don't even want to go for late-night snacks tonight..."
Ansheng returned to the front of the house, lifted his paw, and wiped it on the "Safe Travels" mat.
"Qiu Lingling, Aunt Lingling, and Ah Bai, you remember them, right?"
Ah Qing squatted next to the little fox, grinning widely as she said: "Aunt Lingling knew we were back, so she specially invited us to eat and drink in Huaqiang City."
"She even said, we must bring the little fox, Aunt Lingling adores you to bits."
Because of her studies and accommodation, Ah Qing's live streaming time had reduced lately, but she never lessened posting about herself and the little fox in her moments.
Qiu Lingling had no resistance against the smoothness of the little fox's fur.
Just thinking about the little fox with winter fur, raising its tail like a cat and brushing past her face, the glossy, smooth hair bringing a tickling sensation.
Just imagining it made Qiu Lingling feel like she had ascended to a fluffy paradise.
Looking at Ah Bai, one could vaguely glimpse Qiu Lingling's fondness for pets. Ah Bai is a white Chow Chow, and among Chow Chows, a particularly hard-to-manage long-haired white one.
She has no resistance to long-haired animals.
Qiu Lingling, having just woken up, saw the information in Ah Qing's moments about returning home, and immediately made a reservation, wanting to experience the limited-time winter fuzzy sensation of Master Fuli rooting around her.
"If it goes on like this, Lingling could probably share a meal with Wang Ya someday."
"After chatting for a while, they're bound to find a Fox Immortal Temple at night, light some yellow paper, and become sworn sisters," Ansheng couldn't resist teasing.
"True, Sister Lingling and Sister Wang Ya are quite alike; one can spend a fortune to build a research institute for Fox Fox, hire scholars and doctors to study Fox Fox habits, the other can't walk away when seeing a Fox Fox."
"However, Sister Lingling is like a playboy; she only likes pretty Fox Fox, while Sister Wang Ya is loving and kind to all Fox Fox, a good person indeed!"
Ah Qing, holding the "Spicy Fish Head" car key, lifted Ansheng onto her shoulder and playfully sighed with a chuckle.
There are still many kind-hearted people in the world!
But as Ah Qing was sighing, she didn't notice the human-like disdain on the little fox's face.
Ah Qing has a point.
But Ansheng doesn't fully agree.
Is Wang Ya really kind-hearted? Though her actions aren't wrong, Wang Ya's real intention is to see the streets filled with fluff someday.
"Beep beep beep beep——"
On the way to Huaqiang City, at a traffic light intersection, when the "Spicy Fish Head" started slowly, the other drivers kept honking, urging Ah Qing.
Ah Qing hurriedly accelerated, but compared to other electric cars with hundreds of horsepower, the "Spicy Fish Head" only has forty horsepower, driving leisurely.
The car in the adjacent lane overtook with a sudden rush, rolled down its window, ready to vent road rage.
"Huh——"
The fox clung to the window's edge with his paws, looking at the honking car, and raised two middle fingers, responding with a murmur.
"Honk honk honk, honk your uncle, tonight I'll send the Paw Patrol over and lift your bumper——"
"???"
The opposing road rage driver, wide-eyed and speechless, slammed on his brakes in surprise, causing a commotion of curses from behind.
"Huh? Turns out they weren't urging me? Just reminding me to get to the slow lane."
The panicked Ah Qing, shell-shocked by the honking, saw the stopped car, blocking traffic, and immediately understood the driver's good intentions, letting out a sigh of relief.
"There really are many good-hearted people in the world~" Mistakenly in the fast lane, Ah Qing thanked the driver with a word.
"Mmm~"
Ansheng, grinning from ear to ear, let out a crisp murmur to Ah Qing: "Just drive safely, safety first."
The "Spicy Fish Head," narrowly escaping danger, parked in a roadside parking spot in Huaqiang City.
"Ah Qing! Over here!"
Waiting by the roadside, Qiu Lingling, filled with joy, jumped and waved at Ah Qing.
"Sister Lingling!"
Embracing Ansheng, Ah Qing responded, locked the car door, and walked forward.
"Snore snore..."
At Qiu Lingling's feet lay a white long-haired Chow Chow snoring deeply, with a pet collar around its neck, Lingling holding the leash.
"Huh? What's with Ah Bai..."
Approaching, Ah Qing saw Ah Bai sleeping soundly like a dead pig behind the car, and curiously asked.
"I don't know..."
Qiu Lingling glanced at Ah Bai, shrugged, and spoke a bit helplessly: "Went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's nothing, just poor sleep quality, needs more exercise to expend energy, but as you can see....."
"Mmm..." Ah Bai, in deep sleep, murmured, rolled over, stretched, and continued to snore.
"Let the child sleep! Look how tired it is..."
Ansheng glanced at Ah Bai, turned to Ah Qing, and spoke.
A doggy who should be carefree, now, must accompany Qiu Lingling on morning deliveries, and then become CEO and gang boss at Homeless House in Jiule at night.
Compared to Ah Bai, any 996 or 007 work schedule seems trivial in quantity.
Qiu Lingling shouldered Ah Bai, escorted Ah Qing to a once-frequented pet-friendly milk tea shop.
The milk tea shop welcomes pet owners with pets.
Depending on the different pets daily, the milk tea shop publishes information in the friend circle: [Today, the shop has many dogs, so today is Dog Café theme!]
Tomorrow, if there are more cats, it naturally becomes Cat Café.
"May I take photos?"
The shop assistant, smiling, pointed at the little fox and asked Ah Qing while scanning the code for the order.
"Sure." Ah Qing, hearing this, agreed without much thought.
"Thank you." The staff thanked, then posted on the store's WeChat: [Today, in the dog cafe, we've refreshed with a hidden fox dog variety, like a haughty snow maiden.]
"Awwooo——"
Perhaps due to the milk tea shop's music, or Ah Bai had enough sleep, it stretched, yawned, and got up.
"Hello——"
Sitting next to Ah Qing's feet, Ansheng greeted the freshly awakened Ah Bai.
"Awoo?"
Ah Bai, seeing Master Fuli, was stunned, seemingly in disbelief: "Brother Fuli, when... did you come back? Why didn't you notify me, so I could....."
"Shh shh shh..."
Hearings the sleepy Ah Bai's bark, Ansheng immediately raised his paw, clamped Ah Bai's snout, glancing with serious eyes, pointed at Ah Qing and Qiu Lingling at the table.
"!"
Ah Bai, stunned for a moment, nodded gravely, fully understanding.
The two white fluffy creatures ran to the window sill, crouched with their backs to Ah Qing and Qiu Lingling, whispering.
"Master Fuli, there's a great deal, are you interested? These past days, the Golden Retriever and I have made four million. Another half month of work and we can repay the loan, then I can buy the latest Apple family bucket for my little owner." Ah Bai, grinning broadly, inquired with Master Fuli.
With Master Fuli joining, Ah Bai believed tonight they could probably bring back the rival's boats.
