The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh and sigh as he rubbed the little guy’s face, “So even Chen Chen wants a little brother now, why is that?”

Lin Chen tilted his head innocently and said, “Because I don’t have a little brother!”

Lin Xing crawled over and said, “I have a little brother, my little brother is Chen Chen, and he’s adorable!”

Lin Chen heard Lin Xing praise him as cute and covered his mouth, giggling.

“But having a little brother isn’t something that happens just like that. A little brother is like a small seed that needs to be planted in Female Father’s tummy, take root, and grow to become a baby. But Female Father’s tummy doesn’t have any seeds right now, what should we do?”

Lin Chen leaned in and kissed Lin Su on the cheek, saying, “Female Father, can you give Xing Xing a big brother?”

Lin Su felt that this was even more impossible than having a little brother, “That’s even more impossible. Xing Xing is already a big brother, isn’t that good?”

“Okay, Xing Xing is the big brother!”

Lin Chen stared at Lin Su’s belly, asking, “Where did the seeds in Female Father’s tummy go?”

“Female Father doesn’t know where the seeds in Female Father’s tummy went. How about we look for them together?”

Lin Su entertained the two little ones all morning, searching for seeds, and then took a nap after lunch. In the evening, when William returned home, Lin Chen suddenly put down the spoon with the soft and fragrant small cake in his hand. He toddled over to William.

Holding onto William’s pant leg, he asked, “Male Father, do you have the little seed?”

Confused about what happened, William paused for a moment, then bent down and picked up Lin Chen, a sweet and soft bundle in his arms, and playfully hugged him, “Little seed, do I have it?”

“What little seed?”

Lin Su came out from the kitchen just in time to hear this and chuckled while shaking his head, “You’re quite good at finding people.”

After saying that, he gave William a meaningful glance, making the latter feel a little dizzy.

Lin Xing, engrossed in eating the small cake, paid no attention to the matter of the little seed at all.

Lin Chen blinked, “It’s the little seed! Female Father said the little brother is like a little seed, and if there’s no seed in Female Father’s tummy, there’s no little brother?”

As he spoke, he turned his palms up and down towards William, gesturing that there was nothing, no seed.

Guessing the answer from Lin Chen’s messy words, William smiled, “Does the little one want a little brother?”

Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, but there’s no little seed!”

William set him on a chair, “Right, without a little seed, there’s no little brother. Isn’t having an older brother like Xing Xing enough?”

“But I want to be a big brother too!”

“Well, at Uncle Will’s house, there will be a little brother. He’ll also be your little brother.”

“Really?” Lin Chen’s eyes widened suddenly, filled with anticipation.

“Of course, he’ll be younger than you, so he’ll call you big brother.”

After being comforted by William like this, Lin Chen became happy and didn’t search for the little seed anymore.

William looked at Lin Su, who was smiling warmly, and let out a soft sigh. Having two little ones at home was already enough for him. He didn’t want to have a third one.

Lin Su, who completely understood William’s thoughts, sighed and chuckled, “Go wash your hands. We’ll eat soon.”

“Okay.” William leaned over and kissed Lin Su before turning to the room to change clothes.

When Mu Yin’s second child was born, Lin Xing and Lin Chen were also thrilled. Accompanying Will and Mu Di, they waited outside the delivery room. Lin Chen squatted by the wall and said, “Big brother, I’ll be a big brother too soon.”

“Yep, I’ll still be a big brother.”

Lin Xing happily munched on a big strawberry, looking completely satisfied.

Mu Di tilted his head and looked at Lin Chen, “Are you looking forward to the baby’s arrival?”

Lin Chen nodded, “The baby is cute and will call me big brother!”

Lin Chen had been fixated on becoming a big brother for several months, and now the moment was finally coming, making him extremely excited.

Mu Di smiled, “He will also call me big brother.”

“We will all be big brothers!”

Listening to the conversation of the three little ones, Lin Su found it amusing. He took out a water bottle and gave some water to Mu Diand Lin Chen, and also wiped the hands of Lin Xing after he finished eating the strawberry.

The delivery room’s door soon opened, and this time Mu Yin gave birth to a little female. After taking him out, Will took him in his arms for a quick glance and then asked about Mu Yin’s condition. Even though he had been through this before, he still worried every time.

Back in the room, the three little ones gathered around the crib, looking at the little baby inside.

Lin Chen blinked his blue eyes, “He’s so tiny. Will he call me big brother now?”

Though Mu Di’s expression appeared serious, there was a gentle glimmer in his eyes, “He’s still too young to talk. He’ll call you big brother when he’s a bit older.”

Lin Xing reached out and gently touched the baby’s hand, “So soft!”

Returning to the room, Mu Yin was in good spirits and smiled when he saw the little baby surrounded by the three little ones. “Why is everyone here?”

Lin Su handed the sliced apple to Mu Yin. “You don’t know how much our little Chen Chen has been looking forward to the baby.”

Mu Yin was aware of Lin Chen’s desire for a sibling and smiled, saying, “Are you and William really not planning to have another one?”

Lin Su shook his head. “Our family of four is enough for now.”

Any more, and the big fox at home might get upset.

After seeing Mu Yin, Lin Su took the two little ones back home. On the way, Lin Chen remained quiet with a pensive look on his face. Lin Su found it amusing and didn’t disturb him.

It was only when they got off the car that Lin Chen seemed to have figured something out. Tilting his little head, he asked Lin Su, “Female Father, the baby can’t live with us when it’s born, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. The baby belongs to Mu Di’s family, so we can’t bring it home to raise.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen sighed and said in an old-fashioned manner, “So, he can only call me big brother occasionally.”

Having finally understood this point, Lin Chen also came to terms with reality. From then on, he stopped fussing about having a younger sibling.

His attention returned to the little fox.

When the two little ones turned three, Lin Su prepared to send Lin Chen and Lin Xing to the same kindergarten as Mu Di, who had already moved on to the senior class. Compared to two years ago, the five-year-old Mu Di looked more lively and spirited.

On the night before their first day at the kindergarten, Lin Chen and Lin Xing were excited beyond words. However, the next morning, they started acting coy.

Lin Chen tearfully clung to Lin Su, saying he didn’t want to go to kindergarten, and Lin Xing also appeared teary-eyed and hesitant.

Lin Su felt a bit reluctant too but embraced both of them, coaxing, “Didn’t Xing Xing always wonder if the food at the kindergarten is delicious? Today you finally get to try it. Don’t you want to go now?”

Lin Xing hesitated for a moment but with a teary voice said, “I want to!”

Lin Chen, on the other hand, shook his head and said, “I don’t want to eat, I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”

Lin Su kissed his forehead and said, “Lin Chen, don’t you want to go and see Mu Di’s little brother, Mu Xin? I heard he goes to pick up Brother Mu Di every day after school. Don’t you want to play with him for a while?”

Lin Chen sniffled and replied, “I do, but we can’t bring the little brother home!”

Lin Su chuckled inwardly and comforted them for a while. Fortunately, the two little ones, though not very willing, didn’t throw a tantrum. After breakfast, Lin Su helped them put on the small backpacks he prepared for them.

William carried the two little ones into the car and said, “You have to behave well at the kindergarten. If you behave, I’ll take you to the Contract Beast Hall on weekends to see the Contract Beasts.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the two little ones lit up. “Really?”

Lin Su thought that William was quite effective with his promises. “Has your male father ever lied to you? So, do you still want to go to kindergarten?”

Both little ones said in unison, “Yes, we want to go!”

With the promise of going to the Contract Beast Hall, they surprisingly behaved when they got off the car and went to the kindergarten.

When they saw other children crying loudly outside the kindergarten, both of them looked shocked, as if they didn’t expect crying could be done in such a manner.

Listening to the cacophony outside the kindergarten gate, Lin Su chuckled to himself, wondering if every new student’s first day involved this moment.

As it was the first day at kindergarten and to let the two little ones adapt, they only attended for half a day. Lin Su and William decided not to leave but instead sat in the garden outside the kindergarten, waiting for the two little ones to finish their first day.

After lunch, the two little ones came out of the kindergarten in a line, carrying their backpacks.

When they saw Lin Su and William, Lin Su immediately welcomed Lin Xing into his arms. “Female Father, the food at the kindergarten is super delicious! I want to come back tomorrow!”

William held Lin Chen and asked, “Do you like the kindergarten?”

Lin Chen hugged William’s neck, surprisingly feeling a bit embarrassed. “There’s a little brother in the kindergarten, and he looks so handsome!”

Upon hearing this, William and Lin Su exchanged glances.

Lin Su smiled and asked, “Chen Chen, did you make a new friend on your first day at kindergarten?”

Lin Xing chimed in, “Chen Chen didn’t sit with me. He sat with someone else!”

“He’s so handsome!” Lin Chen clearly didn’t see anything wrong with sitting next to the pretty little boy. He was tired of looking at Lin Xing!

“Tell Female Father about how handsome the little boy is and what his name is!”

“His name is Long Yan, and he looks really handsome!”

Hearing the name “Long,” William spoke up, “Is he from General Long’s family? I heard that he just started kindergarten this year.”

“Is he a male or…”

“A male.”

As those words came out, both Lin Su and William felt a bit awkward.

“He’s just a child, and children simply look at whether someone is good-looking. That’s all!” Lin Su said, not just comforting himself but also comforting William.

William remained silent for a moment before replying, and he took Lin Su’s hand in the process.

Holding Lin Xing, Lin Su asked, “So, did Xing Xing make any good friends at kindergarten today?”

“No, there was a cub who wanted to sit with me, but I declined. I prefer to sit alone, more spacious!” Lin Xing had a look of satisfaction, as if he felt clever.

Lin Su and William felt a bit exhausted.

In any case, the two little ones’ first day at kindergarten went smoothly.

During the weekend, when they met with Leng Tang and Yan Qi, they asked about the two little ones’ experience at kindergarten and were envious to hear that both of them were well-behaved.

“When Nuo Nuo went to kindergarten, he cried so much. While he was crying, Lin Feng was shedding tears too. He seemed to be thinking of bringing the cub back and not sending him to kindergarten.”

“Lin Te was the same. After sending Xiao Xiao for one day, he didn’t let him go the next day. He sent the cub inside, and then he cried in the car.”

Listening to Leng Tang and Yan Qi’s conversation, Lin Su felt that his eldest and second brothers were indeed strong and soft-hearted.

After the two little ones went to kindergarten for a week, lying on their small beds in the evening, Lin Chen played with his small feet and asked, “Female Father, there’s no classes tomorrow, does that mean we won’t see Long Long?”

Surprisingly, after just one week of kindergarten, little Lin Chen couldn’t bear to part with his kindergarten friends. “We can’t see them during the break, but we’ll see them again on Monday. Chen Chen, you can bring something delicious to share with your friends at kindergarten.”

“Sure!” Lin Chen immediately became happy. “I want to give it to Long Yan.”

“Only to Long Yan?”

“Yes!”

Looking into his own cub’s innocent blue eyes, Lin Su couldn’t help but ask, “Does Long Yan have fox ears and a tail?”

Lin Chen blinked suddenly. “No~”

“Then why do you like him so much?” Lin Su thought to himself, ‘I’m not intentionally stirring up relationships among the children.’

Lin Chen blinked again. “But he really looks very handsome!”

“So, do you like Long Yan without ears and a tail, or do you prefer fox ears and a tail?”

Lin Chen was quite conflicted for a moment.

Long Yan looks handsome, but he doesn’t have ears and a tail. Fox ears and a tail are soft and cute, and I want to touch and hug them, but Long Yan looks beautiful.

Listening nearby, Lin Xing heard that Lin Su was going to make something delicious for them on Monday and raised his little head, saying, “I won’t share the delicious food Female Father makes for me with anyone!”

Lin Su looked at her and thought, ‘You might have trouble making friends like this.’

Maybe he inherited his second uncle’s straight male personality.

Unable to come up with an answer after thinking for a long time, Lin Chen tried to change the subject. “I’ll ask Long Yan on Monday why he doesn’t have fox ears and a tail!”

Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh and pat Lin Chen’s little bottom. “You’re quite a thinker.”

Clearly, it’s your own dilemma, but you’re shifting it onto someone else.

During the weekend, William promised to take the two little ones to the Contract Beast Hall.

Early in the morning, Lin Su filled the small water bottles of the two little ones with freshly squeezed fruit juice.

They also brought some small cakes with them. They boarded the hovercar and headed straight to the Contract Beast Hall.

Since its opening, the Contract Beast Hall has matched over a thousand contract beasts with their human companions. It can be said that the existence of the Contract Beast Hall is of vital importance to both humans and contract beasts. With its significant success, the authority to establish Contract Beast Halls has been extended to various star regions.

As the family of four appeared, the manager warmly welcomed them and handed them a door card, tactfully refraining from interrupting their sightseeing.

The two little ones were quite familiar with the Contract Beast Hall. Lin Su had brought them here when they were younger.

As a natural female, little Lin Chen immediately attracted the affectionate interaction of the contract beasts. Meanwhile, Lin Xing, as a male, summoned a red fox with an SSS-level genetic grade. It seemed like fate that they met, as Lin Xing showed genuine enthusiasm for something other than food for the first time.

Ever since then, every time they visited the Contract Beast Hall, the little fox would come over and interact with Lin Xing, of course, accompanied by some patting and cuddling from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was quite envious of Lin Xing’s little fox.

After finding a clean patch of grass, Lin Su laid out the snacks, fruits, and small cakes they brought. The two little ones sat on a mat, and the little fox rested between them, with its big tail in Lin Chen’s lap, accepting the gentle and meticulous grooming from the young female. Occasionally, it would also eat the treats that Lin Xing offered.

When Yan Lie appeared, Lin Su waved at it with a smile. However, unlike its usual direct approach, Yan Lie hesitated for a moment and then let out a low growl towards the depths of the forest. After a while, a slightly smaller black flame panther emerged into Lin Su and William’s view.

Yan Lie brought the other flame panther with it, gracefully sitting down. “Your Majesty, let me introduce my companion, Phil.”

“Hello, Your Majesty.”

Phil was an exceptionally elegant and charming female black flame panther.

Lin Su was surprised to learn that Yan Lie had found a companion. After congratulating them, Yan Lie inquired about Little Black’s situation and, seeing that Little Black got along well with the young prince, didn’t press further. After all, for him, Little Black was already an adult cub, and he and Phil were currently planning to have their own offspring.

Soon, he would have another cute and adorable cub.

Having spent a wonderful day at the Contract Beast Hall and bidding farewell to the little fox, they returned home, and the two little ones quickly fell asleep.

Lin Su and William leaned against each other, sipped some red wine, and then embraced each other as they slept.

On Monday morning, when they went to the kindergarten, Lin Su had the privilege of meeting the handsome little brother, Long Yan, whom Lin Chen had mentioned.

He was wearing a white shirt, with delicate and cold features, white hair, and blue eyes that seemed like the purest gemstones in the world when looking at someone.

Truly a very good-looking appearance.

As Long Yan appeared, Lin Su couldn’t help but notice that all the surrounding children, directly or indirectly, were glancing at him.

Only their little Lin Chen suddenly ran over to him, “Long Yan, you’re here! Look, my female father taught me how to make cookies, and I brought some for you.”

Lin Chen’s features resembled Lin Su’s, and when he smiled, there were two adorable dimples on his cheeks.

The originally cold-looking young male blushed slightly when he heard Lin Chen’s words, then reached out and took the cookies, “Thank you.”

Lin Su observed this scene and chuckled, patting Lin Xing’s head, “Go on, take care of your little brother at school.”

Lin Xing nodded and assured his female father before going over to hold Lin Chen’s hand and enter the kindergarten together.

When Lin Su told William about this incident, he furrowed his brows slightly.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Su chuckled and hugged him, “I thought you wouldn’t mind. Why do I feel like you still care about whether our cubs find companions or not?”

“Regarding Lin Chen, I hope he can find someone he genuinely likes and who likes him back.”

“Isn’t it better to foster relationships from a young age? Besides, I’m a bit worried that Lin Chen might be a face-lover, you know? What if he sees someone better-looking in the future and doesn’t like the current one anymore?”

Hearing Lin Su’s words, William’s frown softened, “He has the right to explore and see more.”

Lin Su’s lips curved up, “If I had known, maybe I would have looked at others more back then. Who knows…”

“You’re not allowed to.” Pulled into William’s embrace, Lin Su bit his lip and smiled, hooking his arms around William’s neck, initiating a deeper kiss. Then he playfully asked, “Why am I not allowed?”

“Because you have me. Do you still want other foxes?”

Lin Su chuckled mischievously, “No more, no more. I’m afraid my waist can’t handle it.”

—

Lin Xing and Lin Chen returned to the classroom together, holding hands.

A chubby and fair little female approached Lin Xing Xing and handed him a box of popcorn, saying, “Lin Xing, this is popcorn my female father made, I’m giving it to you.”

Lin Xing glanced at the popcorn in his hand. Lin Su had made such snacks for him before, and there were various flavors.

Thinking of the crispy and sweet popcorn, Lin Xing didn’t refuse, but he also couldn’t just take something without giving back. So, he separated some of his own cookies and offered them in return, “Let’s exchange!”

Unexpectedly, the little female immediately smiled and leaned closer to Lin Xing. He carried a sweet milky scent, “Can I sit with you, Lin Xing?”

Smelling the milky fragrance, Lin Xing felt like he was a large piece of milk candy, and he wanted to take a bite!

“Of course!”

“Lin Xing, you’re drooling, let me wipe it for you.” The little female, Mi Li, quickly took out a handkerchief and was about to wipe Lin Xing’s mouth, but before he could, Lin Xing playfully bit his hand back, startling Mi Li.

Lin Xing gently licked his hand, “Hey, you’re not sweet at all, but why do you smell so good?”

Mi Li touched his hand that had been licked and said timidly, “I’m not candy, so how can I be sweet?”

“But you look so sweet, like candy.”

Mi Li blinked his big eyes, not quite understanding why he was compared to candy, but if Lin Xing liked it, he didn’t mind being compared to candy.

The news of Lin Xing getting a new deskmate surprised Lin Su.

After inquiring about it, Lin Xing smiled and said, “Mi Li is different from others. He seems like a piece of candy, so sweet, with a milky scent on him. I like it.”

Having received the answer, Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh and sigh. He knew his son wouldn’t disappoint him.

He doesn’t let anything related to food slip away.

No matter the reason, Lin Xing successfully made good friends, which also made Lin Su happy.

However, after Lin Xing made friends, Lin Su noticed that he became more of a foodie. Every day, he would bring delicious snacks to share with Mi Li at the kindergarten. After a week, Lin Su found that his son had a little belly and had gained some weight, which was both funny and concerning.

“Xing Xing, you need to control yourself, do you know? You’ve gained weight.”

Although the chubby three-year-old was even cuter, Lin Su didn’t pay much attention to Lin Xing’s weight as long as he was healthy. But he also worried that if he let it go unchecked, he might keep getting fatter.

Lin Xing pinched the soft, pudgy flesh on his belly, “Female Father, will you stop loving me if I get fat?”

Lin Su didn’t expect him to say this and chuckled, rubbing his belly gently, “Xing Xing, I’ll still love you even if you get fat, but it’s best if you don’t get too chubby.”

Lin Xing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, “Hey, I’m just happily plump!”

“Why do you call it ‘happily plump’? Explain it to me.”

Lin Su still remembered the last time he visited Qin Yi’s place, his third brother, Lin Yue, had gained weight. When he mentioned it, Lin Yue proudly said that it was “happily plump.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Xing picked up on it and used the term here.

“Mi Li, you see, brings so many delicious things every day. We exchange snacks. If I don’t eat them all, it’s such a waste of food. So, if I get a bit chubby, isn’t it ‘happily plump’?”

“Well, you make a good point. I’m momentarily speechless. But, you know, you don’t have to eat everything yourself. You can share with Xing Xing or other kids. You don’t have to stuff it all in your tummy, right?”

“But I can’t bear to!” Lin Xing covered his heart, as if he would be heartbroken to part with his delicious treats and share them with others.
