The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Lin Xing is particularly attentive to food, but luckily, after Lin Su mentioned that he had gained weight, Lin Xing learned some self-restraint. He no longer forces himself to finish everything, but he also doesn’t share with others; instead, he keeps all the snacks in his little box.

When Lin Su was tidying up the room, he saw a big box full of snacks. He felt that his child might have been a hamster in his past life, so good at hoarding.

In contrast to Lin Xing’s love for food, Lin Su noticed that Lin Chen didn’t have as many thoughts about food. He was more interested in beautiful things.

At the age of five, he already started following Lin Su to learn how to bake cakes.

Now that they were in kindergarten, they had grown quite a bit and had a bit of a mature feeling.

Lin Su was helping Lin Chen take out the freshly baked pineapple buns. The delicious aroma made one’s mouth water.

As Lin Xing smelled the fragrance and looked over, he said, “Give me one to taste.”

Lin Chen turned to look at him and replied, “No, I want to bring these to school for Long Long to taste.”

“He can’t eat so many. Can’t you share one with me?” Lin Xing approached, looking pitiful. Lin Su stood aside, smiling, enjoying the interaction between his two sons. Lin Chen thought for a moment and pointed at some imperfectly shaped pineapple buns nearby, saying, “You can eat these ones that don’t look good.”

Lin Xing didn’t mind and mumbled, “You really are my little brother.”

Then he stuffed a pineapple bun into his mouth.

Lin Chen glanced at him and said, “If I’m not your little brother, then I won’t give you anything!”

Lin Su chuckled and ruffled Lin Xing’s hair. “Go find a container, and I’ll pack some for you.”

“Okay.” Lin Xing rushed to find a container and brought it back to have the freshly baked pineapple buns packed in the refrigerator.

With the two five-year-olds in kindergarten, Lin Su and William had less to worry about since they could now take the school bus on their own. To help them become more independent, Lin Su and William had enrolled them in various activities.

On the first day, Lin Chen was still a little worried, but fortunately, he had Lin Su beside him.

During such moments, Lin Xing would show his brotherly side, holding Lin Chen’s hand and saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you!”

Lin Chen squeezed Lin Xing’s hand in response and nodded.

Lin Xing glanced at the box in Lin Chen’s hand and asked, “Brother, since I’m so reliable, can you share half of the pineapple buns with me?”

Lin Chen let go of his hand, “Didn’t you eat them all yesterday? These are for Long Long.”

“Hey, I don’t know if I’m your real brother or if he is. How come you give him all the delicious things!”

Lin Chen was not convinced, “He looks good, and besides, the snacks that Mi Li gives you, I don’t see you sharing with me!”

“That’s because you don’t like them. They’re in the box, and you can take them anytime!”

Lin Chen turned away, hugging his pineapple buns tightly, as if to say, “Don’t even think about it; I won’t give them to you!”

Lin Xing, at such a young age, felt that his younger brother couldn’t be relied upon. It made him feel sad.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Lin Chen immediately ran to Long Yan and presented the freshly baked pineapple buns, receiving a pink gemstone necklace made by Long Yan in return.

Lin Xing sat in his place, observing their interaction, and then nudged Mi Li, who exuded a pleasant milky fragrance, “Do you think Long Yan is good-looking?”

It was the first time Lin Xing asked a question unrelated to food, and Mi Li looked at him in surprise, “He’s good-looking!”

Long Yan’s handsomeness was almost universally acknowledged, but he only played with Lin Chen.

Upon hearing Mi Li’s answer, Lin Xing pursed his lips, “Who do you think is better looking, me or him?”

As Lin Xing grew older, he resembled William more and more in certain aspects. When he didn’t smile, he was like a mini version of William, but with a different style from Long Yan’s handsomeness.

However, in Mi Li’s eyes, he naturally preferred Lin Xing more. He took out a piece of candy and pushed it toward Lin Xing. Although he didn’t know why Lin Xing had so many questions today, he thought that a candy might sweeten his mood.

“In my eyes, Lin Xing looks the best.”

Having received a candy and being praised for his looks, Lin Xing, who was easily pleased, happily ate the candy and said, “Mi Li, you look the best in my eyes, too!”

So, when Lin Su saw the two little ones at home that evening, he felt that both brothers were exceptionally happy.

After asking, Lin Chen received Long Yan’s gift today, a pink gemstone necklace he had made himself. Lin Su thought that Long Yan, this little male, was quite thoughtful, as he engraved both of their names on the gemstone.

Lin Xing, with a mysterious look, ran up to Lin Su and told him about Mi Li praising him as the best-looking. After saying it, he became a little embarrassed.

Because of Mi Li’s words, it was the first time that Lin Xing started paying attention to his appearance.

“Female Father, I want to lose weight. I am indeed a little chubby.”

In fact, Lin Xing could be considered a bit plump, but not really fat. It’s normal for young children to have a little more fat, and as they grow, the fat would gradually turn into well-defined muscles.

However, this was the first time Lin Xing expressed such a request, and Lin Su didn’t want to discourage his enthusiasm.

He especially made fruit and vegetable salads for him for several days.

After eating “grass” for several days, Lin Xing finally said, “Maybe I shouldn’t lose weight; I want to eat meat!”

William, who knew about the situation, spoke at the dining table, “As a responsible male, what you say should count. Don’t back down when faced with difficulties.”

“Male Father, I won’t back down, but I feel like if I continue eating like this, I’ll become malnourished. Female Father, I want to eat meat; I’m craving it!” Lin Xing said.

“Nonsense, your eyes are already blue!” Lin Chen, sitting next to him, relentlessly exposed him.

Lin Su smiled and said, “You want to eat meat?”

Lin Xing nodded.

“Go lift a □□1dunno what the author meant by this. It is also like that with the raws. But I’m guessing it’s like nth times or mystery numbers XD weight. If you really lose weight, then you can end the diet.”

For Lin Su, he fully agreed with William’s words, so when it comes to integrity, they had high expectations for Lin Chen and Lin Xing. They wouldn’t give up or undermine the decisions they made just because they were young.

…

Lin Xing ran to weigh himself and came back with sparkling eyes, “I lost two pounds!”

Lin Su rubbed his head and said, “Your weight loss seems to be successful, but you should start eating meat slowly. These days, your stomach hasn’t been exposed to oily food, so suddenly eating meat might upset your stomach. Take it slowly.”

Lin Xing nodded, “Okay, as long as I can eat meat, it’s fine!”

William looked at the two little ones and said, “At the end of this month, there will be new recruits at the military base, and they’ll be on leave. I’m thinking of sending them there to experience it. What do you think, Xiao Su?”

“That’s a good idea to have them experience life at the military base,” Lin Su nodded, “Otherwise, during the vacation, these two little ones will be at home by themselves. It’ll be good for them to experience life at the military base.”

“Do we get to stay at the military base for some time?” Lin Xing looked at William with hopeful eyes. The military base was almost every young male’s dream during childhood.

Although Lin Chen didn’t yearn for the military base as much as Lin Xing, he was also curious about a place he hadn’t been to.

“Yes, you’ll stay at the military base for some time. You’ll undergo military training with your big brothers there, and when the vacation is over, I and your female father will pick you up,” William explained.

Hearing this, Lin Xing excitedly raised his hand, “I want to go!”

Lin Chen, seeing Lin Xing’s excitement, also spoke up, “Then I’ll go and take a look too.”

William timely warned, “If you go to the military base, you can’t be afraid of hard work. When the time comes, whether you cry or make a fuss, I won’t come to pick you up. Be mentally prepared.”

The two little ones, who had no concept of hardship, didn’t take William’s words to heart.

Summer vacation quickly arrived, and on the day before they were to go to the military base, Lin Xing couldn’t sleep well due to excitement.

The next morning, he woke up early and urged them to leave quickly.

Lin Su prepared their clothes, and together with William, they sent the two little ones to the military base.

Thanks to the arrangements made earlier with Lin Te, there was a designated instructor responsible for the daily life of the two little ones at the military base.

Lin Xing and Lin Chen, who had never been separated from Lin Su and William before, initially didn’t think much of it.

But as the night came, they started feeling uneasy.

Lin Chen ran to Lin Xing’s bed and said, “Brother, I miss Female Father. When we were at home, Female Father used to tell us stories every day.”

Lin Xing also missed Lin Su and William a lot, but when they arrived here, William had a talk with him and emphasized that he was the big brother and had to take good care of his younger brother.

So, even if he also regretted it, he had to be strong. “Chen Chen, don’t be afraid, big brother is here. Shall I tell you a story?”

Lin Chen nodded and reached out to hug Lin Xing’s arm, leaning against him.

The first day didn’t go smoothly, but they began learning to take care of their own affairs, washing their own clothes and underwear, and doing daily exercises and runs.

After a week, although the two little ones looked thinner, they had become much stronger.

Despite missing home in the middle of the night, they never cried or made a fuss.

The instructor in charge of them admired them, thinking to himself, “Truly worthy of being the Crown Prince’s offspring, they are exceptional.”

In fact, Lin Su and William were always concerned about the two little ones’ lives.

Initially worried that they would cry and ask to come back, they were surprised to see that no matter what tasks the instructor assigned, the two little ones wholeheartedly completed them. Especially Lin Xing, who seemed to have truly grown up, learned how to take care of his younger brother.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, was not as delicate as other little females. Although he couldn’t match Lin Xing’s stamina, he would still do his best to complete the tasks.

After a month of training, when Lin Su and William came to the military base to pick them up, the two little ones finally couldn’t hold back their tears.

To reward their efforts over the past month, the military base specially awarded them the Little Warriors’ Medals.

Wearing their badges, the two little ones looked adorable and treasured this precious experience.

However, what the two little ones didn’t expect was that this was just the beginning.

Starting from this vacation, and every subsequent vacation, they would have to undergo special training at the military base until they reached adulthood.

Upon their successful completion of the training and returning home, Lin Su specially prepared a hotpot, which was their favorite.

Finally getting to eat the hotpot they had been longing for over a month, Lin Xing was overjoyed.

Drinking the grape juice freshly squeezed by Lin Su and enjoying the delicious hotpot, Lin Xing’s smile never faded.

After more than a month of training, both little ones seemed to have grown more mature and responsible.

Indeed, that was the case. Their small room was now tidy without Lin Su having to clean it, and they even washed their own socks and underwear at night.

When Lin Su mentioned these things to Leng Tang and Yan Qi, both of them were envious. Initially, Lin Su had asked them about sending the two little ones to the military base for training, but they couldn’t bear to do it and decided not to send them.

Now, seeing the changes in the two little ones after their return, it made Leng Tang and Yan Qi extremely envious. They expressed their desire to send their females, Lin Xiao and Lin Nuo, to experience the same training next time.

However, when they shared this idea with Lin Te and Lin Feng, the two brothers said that their sons were too young and still little females, so they couldn’t bear to put them through such hardships. Lin Te and Lin Feng told them to spoil their sons and give them everything they wanted.

But in the end, they didn’t listen to Lin Te and Lin Feng’s advice. When the next vacation came, they were determined to send their sons along with Lin Xing and Lin Chen to the military base for training.

Unexpectedly, this action sparked a trend among many other parents. As a result, the military base established a special training class for young offspring during the summer vacation.

The changes in the offspring after this training were quite remarkable, attracting more and more parents to sign up.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xing and Lin Chen were at the age to start primary school. At seven years old, they no longer looked chubby like they did in their childhood and now had more of a youthful outline.

Early in the morning, Lin Su prepared their small backpacks and lunchboxes and sent them off to the school bus. Compared to Lin Xing’s excitement, Lin Chen felt rather melancholic because Long Yan had bid him farewell yesterday. He was going to leave the capital star temporarily with his father to be stationed in an outer star system, meaning he had to go to another place to attend primary school.

Lin Chen was upset for a long time after finding out about this and hadn’t recovered even today.

Lin Xing secretly handed him a piece of candy and said, “Don’t be sad. Eat this candy. General Long is not never coming back. I secretly asked male father yesterday. He said it’s a two-year rotation, so you will see him again in two years. And, you can still communicate with him regularly, right?”

Lin Xing didn’t quite understand why two people with a good relationship had to stick together every day. Just like him, after starting primary school, he wasn’t in the same class as Mi Li, but he didn’t feel sad about it either!

Lin Chen glanced at his brother and said, “You don’t understand anything. After we separate, he will make new friends, and gradually, due to distance and other reasons, our relationship will become more and more distant. You may not feel it now, but when Mi Li is in a different class from you, he will make new classmates whom you don’t know, and the same goes for you. Gradually, you won’t have much interaction with each other.”

Sigh!

Such complexity at such a young age.

Lin Chen felt like he was about to see through the truths of the world.

Lin Xing thought he was overthinking things.

Mi Li wouldn’t be like that.

As they got off the school bus, they lined up and entered the classroom one by one. On the way, Lin Xing saw Mi Li, who waved happily at him, and Lin Xing smiled back at him.

Lin Chen watched from the side and snorted, turning his head away.

In the classroom, each student had their own small square table. Lin Chen sat in front of Lin Xing, and so the two little ones officially began their elementary school life.

During break time, Lin Xing took some tasty snacks and went to exchange with Mi Li. When he returned, he said to Lin Chen, “See, what you said is completely wrong. Mi Li hasn’t made new friends, and I haven’t either. Just because we’re separated doesn’t mean we’re not each other’s best friends anymore.”

“That’s because it’s only the first day today, and everyone is still getting to know each other.”

Lin Chen sometimes genuinely thought his brother was a bit naive in this regard.

Lin Xing felt that Lin Chen was being too sensitive.

They spent a week like this. Lin Chen made new friends, and Lin Xing also found friends to play basketball with during break time.

Mi Li also made new friends.

Although he occasionally exchanged snacks with Lin Xing.

But for some reason, the frequency gradually decreased.

One day, Lin Xing suddenly snapped out of it and realized that it had been a long time since he went to find Mi Li, finally acknowledging what Lin Chen had said earlier. This might be the first time in his life that he felt flustered.

He rushed to Mi Li’s classroom only to be told that Mi Li had gone out with their classmates.

Seeing his brother returning in an unfocused state, Lin Chen asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I think what you said might be right. After being apart, there are indeed too many uncertainties.”

Seeing Lin Xing finally experiencing the trials of life, Lin Chen snorted on the surface but still felt concerned for his older brother. He reached out and patted his head, saying, “Such things happen in life, you don’t have to worry too much. If it’s destined, you will meet again. Besides, with more experiences outside, when you look back, you will find out who the best person for you is, don’t you think?”

Lin Xing sat down, “What have you been secretly looking at recently? Why do you seem strange?”

Lin Chen shook his head, feeling that things in the world of females were indeed different from those in the world of males, “I just know more, I advise you to read more books too.”

“I do read a lot! I study and do my homework seriously every day!”

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation with Lin Xing.

Lin Chen was very popular in the class. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also good at talking and making various delicious snacks. He was popular not only among females but also among males.

One day, Lin Xing saw a young male putting a love letter into Lin Chen’s desk and was shocked. He grabbed the person’s arm and asked, “What are you doing?”

The person smiled mischievously and called him, “Big brother, can’t you tell?”

When Lin Chen returned, he saw both Lin Xing and the boy in front of him looking upset, “Why are you two fighting?”

The boy in front, who had been beaten by Lin Xing, was about to speak but was stopped by the threatening look from Lin Xing, so he turned his head angrily.

Lin Chen was puzzled.

After school, Lin Chen even told Lin Su about the fight between Lin Xing and his classmate.

It was the first time for Lin Xing, who had never fought or bullied anyone.

Lin Su had to take this matter seriously and called Lin Xing into the study alone. “Xing Xing, now it’s just the two of us. Tell me, why did you get into a fight?”

Lin Xing rubbed his nose, “Am I ugly like this, Female Father?”

Surprised that he still cared about his appearance at a time like this, Lin Su replied sternly, “Answer the question.”

Sighing, Lin Xing said, “The fight was because of Lin Chen. His front desk mate gave him a love letter, and I saw it. Lin Chen is still so young; how can I let him go down that path? I wanted to reason with the other person, but he didn’t listen to me. That’s why we fought. Don’t worry, Female Father, I didn’t go too far.”

Lin Su couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. Fighting was indeed something to take seriously.

“Xing Xing, it’s right that you care about your little brother, but I believe that Chen Chen is a sensible kid. This is something he should handle himself. You fought to protect him, but you should ask if he’s willing to let you do that. Besides, the other person simply has a crush on Chen Chen, which isn’t a bad thing. It just shows that Chen Chen is well-liked. We should be happy for him. So, today, I’ll reward you with a brave protector medal. But, tomorrow, you need to bring some treats and apologize to the other person. Can you do that?”

After hearing Lin Su’s words, Lin Xing felt that he might have gone overboard. He nodded gently, “Tomorrow, I’ll apologize to him. I was a bit impulsive. I should patiently reason with him.”

That night, Lin Chen finally learned why Lin Xing got into a fight. He grinned and approached Lin Xing, “Does your face hurt? Why didn’t you tell me? You did a good thing but didn’t leave a name. Anyway, don’t worry, I don’t like him. If someone does something like that again, don’t intervene. I’ll reject them unless they’re too forceful for me to handle. Then, can you help me out?”

Lin Xing nodded, “Sure, but you must tell me. We can’t be taken advantage of.”

“That’s for sure. With you protecting me, who dares to bully me!”

The two brothers made amends and became affectionate with each other.

That night, Lin Su told William about the incident.

William listened and nodded with a smile, “You’ve educated him well. Fighting won’t solve problems, but protecting his brother’s heart is the right thing to do.”

The next day, when the young male in front of Lin Chen received Lin Xing’s apology cookies, he was taken aback. “Why are you suddenly apologizing?”

“I was just too impulsive. I should have been more patient and reasoned with you. But it doesn’t matter now. Lin Chen said he doesn’t like you and considers you his brother. So, you can keep this gift.”

The young male who received the cookies felt a sharp pang in his heart.

However, because of Lin Xing’s intervention, those young males who had been eager to pursue Lin Chen backed off.

After all, Lin Xing was truly formidable, and they couldn’t beat him in a fight.

To befriend Lin Chen, one had to pass Lin Xing’s test first. It could be said that until Lin Chen graduated from primary school, there was not a single young male who dared to approach him. For a long time, Lin Chen even thought that his charm had diminished.

It was only when they entered middle school that this phenomenon reappeared. However, Lin Xing secretly and behind the scenes blocked numerous potential suitors, tore up many love letters, and thwarted the initial feelings of many young males who admired Lin Chen.

Of course, these things could not be revealed to Lin Chen.

Currently, both Lin Chen and Lin Xing were continuing their primary school life. Besides worrying about their homework every day, it seemed that their biggest concern was what to eat for dinner.

Regarding their expectations for their two children, Lin Su only hoped for their healthy growth and daily happiness. As for their academic performance, as long as they maintained an above-average level, it would be sufficient. There was no need to put excessive pressure on them.

However, Lin Chen and Lin Xing were particularly competitive, and they would often rank at the top together in their class at the end of each school year.

1dunno what the author meant by this. It is also like that with the raws. But I’m guessing it’s like nth times or mystery numbers XD
