The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Compared to Lin Chen and Mi Li’s busy schedules, Lin Xing and Long Yan were facing dangers and difficulties side by side. Every year, the new students in the military academy had to undergo survival tests in extreme conditions, which could truly test their character and personal qualities.

The large pile of things Lin Chen and Mi Li brought for them was not confiscated upon entry into the area. However, they shared everything with their teammates, and the next day, all those supplies were depleted. In the end, their squad had to venture out for a seven-day survival challenge.

Both Lin Xing and Lin Chen were not raised in pampered environments. William had thrown them into military training from a young age.

Through the years of experience, Lin Xing didn’t feel much panic when faced with such an environment.

Long Yan had followed his father, who was stationed in harsh frontier environments since he was little. Such conditions were nothing new to him.

Compared to others, their performance was indeed outstanding.

Some males looked tall and robust with imposing auras, but after three days in this environment, some couldn’t bear it and gave up on the assessment.

Even those who persisted were not in great condition.

On the other hand, the squad led by Lin Xing and Long Yan was surprisingly thriving.

On the first day, the supplies they brought with them allowed the team to have a good transition time without worrying about food.

On the second day, under the guidance of Lin Xing and Long Yan, the team collectively hunted down a fierce beast.

When Lin Xing took out the seasoning packets he had hidden on his person, the whole team cheered with excitement.

Everyone couldn’t help but think, “Sure enough, they are the Crown Prince’s children. Even when they’re away from home, they are reliable. They remember to bring seasoning packets, such a thoughtful detail.”

After roasting the meat and sprinkling it with seasoning, the aroma was simply irresistible. Even in such an environment with strong winds and potential dangers like traps, it didn’t mean they couldn’t enjoy good food.

After a satisfying meal, each of them climbed up a big tree and carefully hid to rest.

Lin Xing and Long Yan wore woven leaf hats on their heads, blending in among the lush trees. Lin Xing asked, “Have you been able to contact Chen Chen these past two days?”

“No, there’s a signal blocker in this area. I’m afraid we can only contact them when we leave. Why, do you miss Mi Li?”

“I don’t believe you haven’t thought about him. I didn’t feel it much when we were at home, but after coming here, I find myself missing him a lot. Just four more days, let’s hold on a little longer.”

Lin Xing leaned against the tree trunk and said, “I’ll take a short nap, then it’ll be my turn.”

“Alright,” Long Yan nodded and opened his terminal. It still showed the signal connection area unavailable, waiting for a connection prompt.

Lin Chen and Mi Li’s exams went smoothly. Both of them only needed to pass the cultural courses to be accepted into the Medical Academy and the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy, respectively. Cultural courses were not too difficult for them.

However, the two little females didn’t feel happy because of the good news. They hadn’t been able to contact Lin Xing and Long Yan for several days.

Knowing that it was probably due to the signal blocker, they couldn’t help but worry. Every day, they would check the official military school website for the latest news.

On the fourth day, there was a news report on the military school website about a student being injured, which further depressed their mood.

“Long Yan and Xing Xing are both very capable. They will be fine,” Mi Li said reassuringly, but he still clasped his hands together and began to pray.

Lin Chen lay on the bed, “Why does time pass so slowly?”

He had never felt that time could be so excruciating.

At this moment, the two little females couldn’t help but sigh, “Please, time, go faster!”

However, before Lin Xing and Long Yan returned, the Empire announced a new law.

In this new law, the compulsory matching system for individuals who reached the appropriate age but didn’t have a partner was abolished and replaced with a voluntary system for system matching.

After this new regulation was issued, it immediately sparked discussions and celebrations among the public.

Compulsory matching has always had both pros and cons for the public. Now that it has changed to a voluntary system, it appears to be more humane.

Seeing how little Lin Chen has not been smiling at home recently, Lin Su knew he might be worrying about Long Yan and Lin Xing. Thinking about what William had told him, he let out a soft sigh and called Lin Chen over, “Chen Chen, come here, there’s something your female father wants to tell you.”

Lin Chen approached, asking, “What’s the matter, Female Father?”

Lin Su pulled him to sit down and said, “Your male father just sent a message. Long Yan got a bit injured during the exam, but it was not serious enough to stop the assessment. I didn’t want to tell you earlier, but I thought it wouldn’t be right to keep it from you.”

Lin Chen’s blue eyes flickered with panic. Already very worried about Long Yan and Lin Xing, he became even more flustered upon hearing this news. “Female Father, what about my brother?”

“Xing Xing also got a minor injury, but it’s not serious enough to halt the exam. Don’t worry, both Long Yan and Xing Xing are very brave. You have to trust them.”

“I know, Female Father, but I’m still afraid in my heart.”

Lin Su hugged him and said, “Female Father understands. That’s why I didn’t want you to see them immediately, to avoid being scared and worried when you meet them.”

He wanted Lin Chen to be mentally prepared before meeting them, so he wouldn’t be too shocked or concerned.

In fact, Long Yan and Lin Xing were already very fortunate. They got injured on the sixth day of entering the assessment area, and as long as they held on for two more days, they could finish the exam and receive treatment.

However, what they didn’t expect was that the moment they left the assessment area, they saw Lin Chen and Mi Li standing at the entrance.

Lin Su gently patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, encouraging his cub.

As the two little females rushed over, Lin Su held the hand of the big fox next to him and said, “I’m actually somewhat grateful that I met you after the war had ended. Otherwise, I would probably worry and fear for you day and night. Thank you, William, for bringing us peace.”

William reached out and embraced Lin Su, gently kissing his forehead. “Meeting you was the best timing.”

Lin Chen ran over and hugged the dirty and disheveled Long Yan, his eyes turning red. “You finally finished, I was so worried.”

Long Yan, who was pleasantly surprised by Lin Chen’s appearance, blinked hard to confirm it wasn’t an illusion before holding Lin Chen tightly. “How did you come here?”

“After I heard you were injured, I begged Female Father to bring us here. We just wanted to see you both as soon as possible. Are you alright? Where are you injured?”

Lin Chen let go of Long Yan and carefully examined him from head to toe.

Only then did Lin Chen notice that Long Yan’s arm seemed a bit abnormal, bent in a strange way. Worriedly, he asked, “Is it your arm? I got too excited just now. Did I hurt you?”

“It doesn’t hurt. Seeing you makes everything painless,” Long Yan smiled and hugged Lin Chen again, as if holding a precious treasure.

Mi Li looked at Lin Xing with tearful eyes. Seeing him now looking flustered, Lin Xing, who had not shown panic during the exam, felt a bit anxious too. “Don’t cry, Mi Li, I’m fine, but there might be scars on my face. Don’t dislike me in the future!”

Mi Li sobbed while shaking his head, “I won’t dislike you. I’ll cherish you, whether you have scars or not!”

On Lin Xing’s forehead, there was a long gash caused by something he couldn’t remember, and it looked a bit fierce. It was treated with herbal medicine to stop the bleeding, but it must have been very painful during these days.

Just thinking about it made Mi Li’s tears flow uncontrollably. Lin Xing held Mi Li, his heart aching for him, and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t cry. I’m really fine now. Look, other than this wound, I’m not hurt anywhere else. Besides, when I see you, nothing hurts anymore. How did you come here?”

Lin Xing wanted to return as quickly as possible, but he didn’t expect to see the person he missed the most right after leaving the exam area.

Mi Li hugged him tightly, not minding his unwashed state for several days. “Chen Chen and I heard that you both got injured, so we begged Uncle Lin Su to bring us here.”

“So that’s why. It’s great. Mi Li, I missed you so much during the exam. No matter what difficulties we faced, I just really missed you.”

“I missed you too, Xing Xing. Let’s not be separated again, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Alright, alright. I know you two have a good relationship. We’ll hug later. Now, hurry to the treatment cabin and get your injuries healed.”

The officer in charge of the new student assessment said with a smile, seeing both Lin Chen and Mi Li blushing with embarrassment.

Lin Xing and Long Yan went to the treatment cabin. After half an hour, they came out with their injuries almost healed.

Li Xing had a shallow scar on his forehead, but apart from that, he had fully recovered.

Long Yan’s arm was bound in a sling and needed some time to regain mobility.

After the seven-day assessment, both of them felt a bit tired, and their spirits finally relaxed.

Next, they would have a two-month vacation. Lin Su entrusted Lin Chen and Mi Li to them and said, “Take good care of them. As for your next plans, it’s up to you. There’s a small spacecraft parked at the terminal, ready to depart at any time. Congratulations, my darlings, on passing.”

Lin Xing and Long Yan hugged their little partners, feeling exceptionally happy.

The four of them planned to rest here for a while before making further plans. Both Lin Xing and Long Yan needed sufficient rest.

They arrived at the hotel provided by the military district. Lin Xing lay on the bed with Mi Li in his arms, feeling fully satisfied with this beast life.

Long Yan smiled and looked at the little female carefully lying next to him, reaching out to pull him into his embrace, but Lin Chen tensed up, saying, “Be careful, don’t touch your hand.”

“It’s okay, let me hold you.”

In their respective rooms, the four of them rested until evening. After sleeping for the whole afternoon, Lin Xing and Long Yan both recovered.

When Lin Chen woke up, he was still a bit dazed until he saw Long Yan beside him, confirming that they had really finished the exam.

He leaned over and hugged Long Yan’s waist, saying, “Long Yan, let’s go get our certificates after we return.”

Long Yan looked at him and asked, “Are you really ready?”

Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, I don’t want to be separated from you again.”

Having experienced this once was enough; his little heart couldn’t bear such a scare anymore.

After resting for two days, the four of them took the spacecraft that Lin Su left for them and returned to the capital star.

The reason for coming back to the capital star was to get their certificates.

When the four of them walked out of the matching hall, holding the red booklets in their hands, they finally felt at ease with each other.

That evening, in the family group chat of the happy family, Lin Xing and Lin Chen each sent a photo of their red booklets and circled everyone in the group –

Lin Xing: Announcing officially, married【photo.jpg】

Lin Chen: Officially announcing, married【photo.jpg】

Lin Su and William: Congratulations, darlings~

Su Jin and Kane: Congratulations, darlings~

Qin Yi and Lin En: Congratulations, darlings~

…

Everyone in the family was extremely happy about Lin Xing and Lin Chen’s marriage. Originally, they wanted to gather everyone together for a celebration, but Lin Chen and Lin Xing said, “A gathering is fine, but we need to wait a bit first.”

These days, they had no time as they were busy moving.

Now that they had reached adulthood and obtained their certificates, they couldn’t stay at their parents’ homes anymore.

Lin Xing and Long Yan’s military-approved marriage home was already prepared.

The past few days, the four of them were busy moving and arranging their own little homes.

Lin Xing and Long Yan’s new home was two floors, making it very convenient to go back and forth.

Lin Chen made the bed, hung up the photos of him and Long Yan on the wall, and decorated the room with light colors, giving it a cozy and warm feeling.

He placed fragrant aromatherapy on the bedside, and the pleasant and light scent relaxed anyone who entered.

Although the room wasn’t as spacious as Lin Chen’s home before, he felt happy to live together with Long Yan, no matter where they were.

Long Yan arranged the kitchen utensils and came back to the bedroom, saying, “I’ve organized the kitchen. Do you want to check if there’s anything to adjust?”

“Sure, you take a look at the bedroom. Is it okay if I arrange it like this?”

Long Yan leaned in and kissed him lightly, “It’s very warm.”

Lin Chen smiled and hugged him before running to the kitchen barefoot. Seeing this, Long Yan picked up slippers and followed behind, saying, “Don’t walk on the cold floor barefoot, put these on.”

As Long Yan squatted in front of him, Lin Chen playfully pressed his hand on Long Yan’s shoulder and put on the fuzzy slippers, “I discussed it with Mi Li. Today, we’ll have a hot pot at their place, and tomorrow, we’ll have it at our place. Two days of hot pot, just perfect.”

At this time, Mi Li and Lin Xing were also busy, tidying up their room, and then they went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The hot pot was the perfect choice for the occasion, even better than any other dish.

Lin Xing helped Mi Li as he had done at home for Lin Su and Lin Chen, so his movements were skillful.

Mi Li even specially prepared a dessert for after the meal.

“Xing Xing, try this cream puff. Is it good?”

He held it up to Lin Xing’s lips, looking at him expectantly.

Lin Xing opened his mouth and tasted it, then nodded with a smile, “Delicious and sweet.”

As he finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed Mi Li’s cheek, “Just like you.”

Mi Li blushed, “Don’t tease me. Lin Chen and Long Yan will be here for dinner soon. We can’t keep them waiting.”

“Then let them wait a little.”

“But that’s not good.”

Although Mi Li was gentle, he had his principles.

Lin Xing helped him with the vegetables, and there was nothing else he could do. He also didn’t want to leave the kitchen, so he leaned against the kitchen counter and watched Mi Li busily.

He couldn’t help but feel that the scene was extraordinarily heartwarming, so he hugged Mi Li’s waist from behind, “Mi Mi, I feel so happy right now.”

Held in Lin Xing’s embrace, Mi Li smiled and nodded, “I feel very happy too.”

Later in the evening, Lin Chen and Long Yan arrived with flowers.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw the prepared dinner on the table and said with a smile, “Congratulations on your joyous move!”

“Congratulations to both of you!”

They welcomed them in with laughter, and Mi Li took Lin Chen to explore their new home.

The two young females seemed to have endless things to say as they huddled together, offering their unique suggestions on how to arrange the rooms.

Lin Xing and Long Yan sat on the side, and Lin Xing asked, “Is your place all set?”

“Yes, Chen Chen took care of it, and I think it looks great.”

“Mi Li took care of ours, and I think it looks great too.”

But clearly, their opinions on home decor didn’t matter much to the two young females.

After chatting for a while, the four of them sat at the table and poured themselves glasses of wine.

From this meal onwards, they would each shoulder the responsibilities of their own family and live independently.

They enjoyed a lively and bustling meal together and made plans to have another hot pot dinner at Lin Chen and Long Yan’s place the next day.

For two consecutive days, they were immersed in lively gatherings before settling down individually.

Since school hadn’t started yet, they spent a lot of time exploring different places.

As the first day of school drew closer, they finally focused on preparing for the upcoming academic year.

Lin Xing and Long Yan were stationed in the military area, where everything, including their clothing and daily necessities, was provided uniformly by the military. They didn’t need to worry about anything extra.

However, Lin Chen and Mi Li were different.

The two of them went shopping together for new school bags, stationery, and various kitchen utensils for Mi Li to use after classes, as well as lab equipment for Lin Chen’s experiments.

On the official first day of school, Long Yan and Lin Xing each sent their respective partners to the school’s registration.

After finding the building for his major on the announcement board, Lin Chen turned to Long Yan and said, “You can go back now. I’ll be back on my own later.”

Though they started school a little later than the military area, Lin Chen and his friends were also starting to get busy with the new semester.

Long Yan patted his head gently and said, “Alright, if you need anything, just message me.”

Anyway, the distance between them was very close, and Long Yan could come over anytime.

Lin Chen obediently nodded and waved goodbye to him.

Long Yan watched Lin Chen enter the teaching building before leaving. However, he was stopped by someone before he could even walk out of the school gate. “Are you also a new student? Can I have your contact number?”

Looking at the blushing and eager young female running over, Long Yan raised his hand to show the wedding ring on his finger and said, “Sorry, I’m married.”

Before waiting for the surprised expression on the other person’s face, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

He never expected that such a young and handsome male would be already married. His companion, who ran over, hugged him and said, “Really married? Who was fast enough to marry him?”

Lin Chen was still unaware of the commotion Long Yan’s beauty caused again.

After finding the classroom, more and more students started to arrive.

Sitting in his seat, Lin Chen saw a tall male turning to him and saying, “Hello, I’m Wei Qiang. We’ll be classmates from now on. Shall we exchange contact information?”

Lin Chen looked at him and waved his finger in front of his eyes, showing the ring on it. “Let’s wait for the teacher to come and distribute the contact sheets, and then we can add everyone together.”

Noticing the ring on his finger, the other person’s eyes widened suddenly. “Can I ask if you’re married?”

“Yes, I am married.”

“But now the matching system is voluntary, why would you…”

“Because the other person is someone I love.”

Lin Chen didn’t find the question offensive.

On Lin Xing’s side, he encountered a similar situation. Compared to Lin Chen’s school, where the male-to-female ratio was balanced, Mi Li’s Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy had a predominance of females.

When they saw Lin Xing and Mi Li coming together, they attracted attention.

After Lin Xing left, some curious young females couldn’t hold back and ran over to ask Mi Li if the person who came with him was his brother.

Mi Li smiled and shook his head, saying, “He’s not my brother; he’s my partner.”

Upon hearing the word “partner,” the young females immediately let out surprised exclamations. But fortunately, after Long Yan and Lin Xing started school, they rarely had the chance to go out. The military training for new students in the military district was intense, and every night, Lin Chen and Mi Li would prepare dinner and wait for them to return.

Long Yan looked at the little female who opened the door for him upon hearing his footsteps, and he felt a warm feeling knowing that someone he liked was waiting for him at home.

Lin Chen reached out and hugged him. “Welcome back.”

Long Yan chuckled softly. “Alright, I haven’t showered, and I’m all sweaty.”

“It’s okay; I find it particularly attractive.”

Facing the little female’s teasing, Long Yan reached out and pinched his cheek. “How about you? Are you tired from school today?”

“Not as much as you guys. We just used our brains a bit. You’re completely squeezing out physical strength. I cooked beef soup today to replenish you.”

Listening to the little female’s gentle words, Long Yan felt all his tense nerves relax.

Upstairs, as soon as Lin Xing came home, he directly embraced the soft and fragrant little female in his arms. “Mi Mi, let me hug you and be healed.”

Mi Li knew very well that this training was nothing for Lin Xing, but he let him hold him, as he also enjoyed being close to Lin Xing. “Are you hungry? Today, Chen Chen and I bought beef and made soup for you.”

Lin Xing kissed his cheek. “Do you think I need replenishing?”

Mi Li blushed and turned his head away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Lin Xing didn’t embarrass him further, knowing that Mi Li was shy, so he let go and said, “I’ll go take a shower. Do you want to join me?”

“No, you go ahead. I’ll serve the soup for you!”
