The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Wood suddenly left in a messy manner, leaving the tense atmosphere in the small courtyard momentarily quiet. Lin Su regained his senses and looked sharply at William lying on the recliner.

He saw the previously spirited canine ears drooping crookedly amidst the white hair, and the pale, almost translucent face with a faint lip color, making him look like a delicate and fragile doll.

However, a pair of cold and wicked golden beast eyes, when looking at Lin Su, were filled with tender affection.

William tugged at the corner of his lips, wanting to tell the little female that he was fine.

But the pain-ridden spiritual domain made his facial expression stiff, and the release of his oppressive aura this time was merely using his higher-level genes to suppress the lower-level ones, far less severe than the consequences of directly releasing his spiritual power like the previous time.

That’s why he didn’t faint afterward like last time.

A palpable sense of tension permeated the quiet courtyard. Kane turned around and looked at William, about to ask if everything was okay when he suddenly saw Lin Su, who was sitting next to the recliner, reach out and place his hand on William’s head.

A faint green light emanated from Lin Su’s palm, cool and gentle, slowly seeping into the chaotic spiritual domain.

William’s rigid body gradually relaxed, he closed his eyes, and his partially lowered tail quietly wrapped around Lin Su’s ankle, gently rubbing against it to please him.

The condition of William’s spiritual domain was in a terrible state. The smooth and moist spiritual barrier was covered with fine cracks, and even though Lin Su had probed William’s spiritual domain before, he couldn’t help but feel shocked once again.

It was hard to imagine how much willpower it took for a man who endured tearing pain every day to remain conscious.

Lin Su’s wood-based ability level was too low, far from being able to heal and restore William’s spiritual domain. It could only provide some relief.

Therefore, his ability was quickly consumed by William’s spiritual domain, leaving him no choice but to retract his hand and watch the man, who was now sleeping peacefully and breathing more smoothly.

Suddenly, there was an urgent desire to become stronger.

“Xiao Su, how is William?” Su Jin asked in a hushed voice after seeing Lin Su withdraw his hand, and Kane also looked at him with concern, waiting for his answer.

“He’s fine, just asleep.”

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but couldn’t help but worry further. “Wood is not a good person. He was scared off by William’s pressure this time. I wonder if he will come back.”

Kane asked with a displeased expression, “Xiao Su, when can I undergo the second treatment? If I’m well, we won’t have to worry about those little rascals anymore.”

Lin Su knew what Su Jin and Kane were worried about. Their family indeed appeared to be a group of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled individuals. The only two males who should have combat power were all sickly.

However, Lin Su didn’t really think of himself as a helpless female with no strength. He smiled and reassured them, “Male Father, don’t worry. After we have dinner, I will perform the second treatment for you.”

“Great!”

Even if the healing process was extremely painful, as long as it could cure his mental disorder and protect his family, Kane felt that as long as he didn’t die, he had nothing to fear.

The fire in the brazier burned out, and Lin Su used a wooden stick to uncover the black charcoal on top, revealing the red-hot soil underneath.

“Is it ready?” Su Jin asked curiously as he saw Lin Su pour the mud-wrapped wild chicken onto the ground. “How do we eat this?”

“You have to break the mud on top,” Lin Su said, lightly tapping the hardened soil with the wooden stick, revealing the dark green leaves soaked in oil underneath. The enticing aroma of charred meat filled the air, making Kane standing beside him suddenly swallow his saliva. “What is this smell? It smells so good!”

“Roast chicken. Let it cool down a bit, then tear open the leaves inside, and it will be ready to eat,” William, who had been napping on the chair, made a movement.

The three of them gathered around. “Are you feeling better, William?”

Hearing the soft and gentle voice of the little female, William slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly with concerned black eyes meeting Lin Su’s gaze.

He tried to sit up with a slight exertion of his hand on the recliner, but Kane held his shoulder down. “Don’t move, rest a little longer.”

“Yeah, William, it’s better for you to rest a bit more. I’ll go pick some strawberries for you.”

Su Jin said as he turned around and went to pick strawberries. It was evident that William’s desperate act of protecting them despite his condition had deeply moved him.

Lin Su smiled and pinched the canine ears on William’s head, coaxing him, “Just be obedient and rest a little longer. You’ll be able to eat your favorite chicken soon.”

After Lin Su released his hand from William’s head, the canine ears on top involuntarily twitched.

The softest part in the bottom of the heart was just gently touched.

Lin Su tore open the leaves, revealing the golden roasted chicken inside, and the rich aroma filled the air, tantalizing the taste buds.

Taking out a large chicken leg, one for Kane and one for William, while the remaining two chicken wings were shared between Lin Su and Su Jin.

The cooking was perfectly done, and the tender and flavorful chicken, paired with refreshing strawberries, satisfied everyone’s appetite.

After the meal, Lin Su buried the chicken bones in a designated spot.

He then picked two oranges and asked Su Jin to cut them while he washed his hands and brought the blood of a Grade B Contract Beast to Kane’s room, preparing for the second round of restoration.

Despite having previous experience, Su Jin couldn’t help but worry before starting, “Xiao Su, be careful and take care of your own health.”

Lin Su, with a pale face, nodded and smiled, “I will be careful, Female Father, don’t worry.”

“I’m ready, Xiao Su. You can do it without hesitation. I won’t move recklessly.” Kane lay down, wearing a look of generous sacrifice.

To be safe, Su Jin still held his shoulder to assist him, both bracing themselves for the upcoming pain.

Lin Su had some sliced oranges by his side to replenish his energy when needed.

As his fingertips touched the blood of the Grade B Contract Beast, a fierce energy radiated, and the previously quiet and crouching Da-Hei suddenly stood up. Unlike the first time, excitement filled its shiny black eyes.

Obviously, it already knew that the fierce power being released was not a threat but a healing energy.

A faint green light emanated from Lin Su’s palm. His movements were more skillful than the previous time as the wood-based ability seeped into Kane’s beast patterns, connecting the scattered nodes of the patterns in different places…

After dinner, William, who had been assisted back to his room to rest, suddenly opened his golden eyes and looked surprised at the door.

The intense natural aura appeared once again, and the beast patterns hidden on his chest emerged, rapidly absorbing and plundering the active and vibrant natural elements in the air.

“Mmm…” The piercing pain made Kane tense his body as Lin Su worked on the restoration, but he bit his teeth to prevent himself from moving.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Endure, he must endure. The current pain was all for the sake of future painlessness.

His tightly clenched teeth emitted a bloody scent, and his vision darkened intermittently, but Kane persevered and kept himself from fainting.

In contrast, Da-Hei, the Contract Beast guarding by his side, lay comfortably on the bed, twisting its body and wagging its tail like a propeller out of excitement.

Lin Su’s complexion gradually turned pale, but his bright black eyes were filled with sparkling stars. He clearly felt that this restoration was slightly easier than the previous one, and there was a sign of his ability advancing in this kind of healing process.

Based on the current situation, after treating Kane, his wood-based ability should advance from Level 1 to Level 2 if everything went smoothly.

He wondered if, after reaching Level 2, he would be able to restore William.

As time passed, Lin Su could clearly feel his wood-based ability gradually depleting, with only a little progress left for this restoration.

He reached out and took a piece of sliced orange, putting it into his mouth. As he chewed, the cool and soothing sensation relieved the pain caused by the depletion of his wood-based ability.

Su Jin observed his condition and noticed Lin Su’s increasingly pale face. Concern filled his eyes, and he wanted to say that it was enough and he didn’t need to endure any longer.

However, he was worried that speaking up might disturb Lin Su, so his face was filled with worry.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to worry for long as Lin Su voluntarily let go of his hand.

Leaning against the wall behind him, he took a deep breath and hoarsely said, “It’s done. After one more restoration, Male Father will be cured.”

Su Jin couldn’t contain his joy and hurriedly grabbed a towel from the side to wipe the sweat from his forehead. “How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort in your body? Do you want to sleep for a while?”

Lin Su breathed for a while. Although he was very tired and the repeated depletion of his ability left him exhausted, he could feel a sense of excitement. He shook his head and said, “Female Father, I’m fine. Please take care of Male Father. I can go back on my own.”

Su Jin was still worried, so he glanced at Kane, who had fallen into an exhausted sleep after the treatment. “Once your Male Father gets through this, he’ll be fine. Let me help you back.”

Not giving Lin Su a chance to refuse, Su Jin directly carried him and brought him back to his room, placing him on the bed.

Seeing Su Jin carrying Linsu back, William frowned with a worried expression.

Su Jin put Lin Su on the bed and said, “William, could you please take care of Xiao Su for me? He’s very tired.”

William nodded, his gaze never leaving Lin Su’s figure.

After Su Jin left, Lin Su turned over and hugged William’s big tail, burying his face in it and rubbing against it. There was nothing more soothing than hugging and snuggling a fox tail when he was exhausted.

Why is a fox tail such a healing thing in the world?

Lin Su buried his head in the fluffy fur and sighed, “William, I really love your tail!”

The sudden “confession” made William, who was already stiff from having his tail hugged, even more bewildered. Was this little female confessing to him?

As this thought emerged, William’s dog ears involuntarily stood up, and all the blood rushed to his face, making his golden eyes look both wicked and enchanting!

Unfortunately, Lin Su was currently indulging in the soft and large tail and didn’t see this scene.

Feeling the little female’s slowed breathing, William, who was nervous and at a loss, quietly relaxed.

He had been confessed to by females before, but never before had it disrupted his emotions to this extent.

William beckoned with his finger and restrained himself as he reached out his hand to touch the little female who was so close.

The gaze that fell on Lin Su was soft and gentle, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

His hand lightly landed on Lin Su’s head, and the touch was even softer than he had imagined. The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up, and William heard his own heartbeat—

“Thump, thump!”

It was stronger than ever before.

Goodnight, my little female.

—

Zhao An returned home carrying the purified fruits, his heart filled with unease and uncontrollable anticipation.

Even though he knew deep down that such anticipation shouldn’t exist, as the Imperial Research Institute had never given up on researching mental disorders, apart from sedatives, there was no more effective method.

And the sedatives were not a cure, only a temporary relief, and they had a limited number of uses.

For males suffering from mental disorders, death was the only outcome.

He was afraid that what he was currently anticipating would eventually turn into deeper despair.

His partner, Gen, was an A-rank Contract Beastman. Even though he wasn’t an outstanding S-rank gene holder, he was an indispensable presence in Zhao An’s heart.

Returning home, Zhao An eagerly washed the fruits he had bought with purified water. Looking at the palm-sized bright red strawberries, joy appeared on his face. Even though he had eaten strawberries in the capital star before, they had never been this big.

The strawberries selected by Lin Su for him were as big as his palm, enough to equal ten normal-sized strawberries.

He cut the strawberries into small pieces and put them on a plate, then cut a golden orange and arranged it nicely before taking them upstairs.

Recently, Gen’s condition had been getting worse, so he had been resting at home all this time. Zhao An was initially conflicted about whether to take Gen back to the capital star for recuperation. After all, compared to North Star, the conditions in the capital star were much better.

Not knowing if Gen had rested, Zhao An didn’t dare to disturb him. He gently pushed the door open, expecting to find the person who should be resting in bed standing by the window. He was wearing light gray silk pajamas, which now looked slightly loose compared to before.

Hearing the sound, Gen turned his head. His well-groomed black hair was now messy, and his complexion was pale with heavy dark circles under his eyes. If one looked closely, there were traces of bloodshot in his eyes.

Seeing him, Gen relaxed his frowning brows slightly, and his voice sounded hoarse, “You’re back. What are you holding in your hand?”

A refreshing fruit fragrance filled the air, stimulating his senses.

“Feeling tired from lying in bed?” Zhao An walked over gently without blaming him for not resting in bed and wandering around. He knew Gen was already very uncomfortable. Instead of letting him lie in bed doing nothing, he preferred letting him do things he wanted to do. He placed the fruits he was holding on the table and used a fork to pick up a piece of strawberry and brought it to Gen’s lips. “Try it, Gen.”

Watching the red fruit flesh on the silver fork and smelling the delightful aroma in the air.

Gen twitched his nose, and a hint of emotion flashed in his silent black pupils. “Where did you buy the strawberries? Can you buy fruits on North Star?”

“Thanks to Luo Manman, they accidentally discovered someone with purification abilities during their law enforcement work. They bought some fruits and vegetables from him on the way back. When we happened to meet him outside, we bought some together. Gen, try it. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.”

Zhao An’s eyes were filled with undisguised anticipation, and the fork in his hand took another step toward Gen’s lips.

Since Gen’s mental disorder had gradually worsened, he had lost his appetite. But at this moment, whether it was Zhao An’s hopeful eyes or the enticing fruit fragrance in the air, it made him have an impulse to taste it.

He opened his mouth and bit down on the strawberry flesh on the fork. The sweet aroma spread between his lips and teeth, and before he even swallowed, a sense of hunger arose in his stomach.

As he swallowed, a cool sensation brushed over his mental domain, as if being gently touched by a tender hand, relieving the increasingly swelling and painful mental domain.

“Mmm!” He unconsciously hummed and instinctively pressed his forehead. “It feels like there was something just now…”

“Do you feel anything?” Before Gen could finish his sentence, Zhao An couldn’t wait and eagerly asked, anticipation shining in his eyes. Gen was momentarily stunned and vaguely realized that something was not right. He probed, “Why are you so excited? What’s going on?”

Zhao An didn’t directly answer his question. Instead, he turned around and forked a piece of orange, bringing it to Gen’s lips. “Try it again and then tell me how you feel.”

This time, Gen didn’t hesitate and directly bit down on the orange flesh. The soft and tender orange burst open, and the sour and sweet orange juice spread between his lips and teeth. The same cool sensation soothed his mental domain.

Experiencing the identical sensation twice in a row, surprise appeared in Gen’s eyes. “My mental domain feels comfortable, as if it’s being gently caressed by a hand. What’s going on?”

Finally, a smile appeared on Zhao An’s face, but as he smiled, his eyes reddened. “Luo Manman didn’t deceive me after all. They detected 60% of natural elements in the batch of fruits and vegetables they acquired. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems to really have an effect. Eat more, perhaps it can alleviate your mental domain and control your mental disorder.”

Gen naturally understood what 60% of natural elements meant. After hearing Zhao An’s words, he looked down at the fruits on the table and said, “This is incredible. Although I don’t know if it can control the evolution of my mental disorder, I can feel that these fruits are effective for me right now.”

“Even if it can provide some relief, that’s already good!” Zhao An couldn’t help but embrace Gen. Since Gen developed the mental disorder, his heart had never found peace.

Gen hugged him back, lovingly stroking Zhao An’s head. “I’m sorry, Xiao An. I’ve caused you so much worry during this time.”

“As long as you’re okay, don’t say anything else. Eat more quickly.”

Zhao An broke free from Gen’s embrace and couldn’t wait for Gen to finish eating all the fruits.

Gen chuckled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll eat. I’ll eat right away.”

After devouring the two plates of fruits, Gen not only felt satiated, but his swollen and painful mental domain also found solace. Even he, who hadn’t had a good sleep in a long time, felt drowsy.

Zhao An didn’t dare to disturb him, gently helping him lie down. Before Zhao An could leave, he could already hear Gen’s steady breathing.

Zhao An wiped the corner of his eye with his hand and couldn’t suppress his smile.

At the same time, Luo Manman, who had just come out of the testing lab, hurriedly ran towards the office of the Enforcement Department. With a bang, he pushed open the door. “Minister, Minister, Minister!”

Mu’en, who was originally sitting behind the desk, rushed out in a hurry. “What’s happened, Manman?”

Luo Manman took a deep breath, a big smile on his face. “Minister, just now I went to the testing lab, and we found that the latest batch of fruits we sent over has reached 69% in natural elements, 9 points higher than the previous batch of fruits and vegetables!”

Mu’en’s pupils contracted at the mention of these words. Before he could speak, his wrist terminal rang. After he answered, the voice of the Star Territory Chief came through. “Minister Mu’en, please come over.”

After the call ended, Mu’en quickly grabbed his coat, with Luo Manman following behind him. “The Star Territory Chief must have received the news!”

“For now, let’s not spread this matter.” Mu’en quickly cautioned before leaving the office in a hurry.

Luo Manman closed the door and turned to look at the few people in the office. “Do you feel it’s particularly exciting?”

“If this is true, I can’t even imagine!”

“The natural elements in the soothing agent are confirmed to be 76.66%, which means that one orange is almost equivalent to a dose of the soothing agent?”

“There’s a big difference between 69% and 76%. We need to analyze it calmly. What if 69% is already the limit?”

“But what if it can still be improved?”

Everyone took a deep breath, and then they heard Luo Manman, who was initially very excited, suddenly sigh. “I’m starting to worry now. Can we keep talents like this in our North Star? And even if we keep them, how long?”

They exchanged glances, and everyone understood the underlying truth. It was no secret that anyone with purifying abilities would eventually go to the capital star for development.

For someone with the ability to soothe like this, if the capital star finds out, they might immediately send troops to recruit them.

People have their selfish sides. Even if they initially felt that Lin Su staying in North Star was a pity, once they know that Lin Su has even greater value, they wouldn’t want him to leave.

“Well, it’s not our concern. Let’s see what the Chief of North Star thinks.”

“Yes, even if the sky falls, there’s someone to hold it up. We don’t need to worry.”

There’s no point in worrying about it. Let’s just enjoy each day as it comes!

While nodding, Luo Manman thought to himself that what they said was true. However, they could still maintain a good relationship with Lin Su in private.

When Mu’en arrived at the office building of the Star Territory Chief in North Star, he happened to run into Deputy Star Territory Chief An Ye, who was about to go out. Unlike the Star Territory Chief, Lei Sen, An Ye was transferred from the capital star to gain experience here, in other words, to accumulate political achievements.

Seeing Mu’en, An Ye, who was about to go downstairs, suddenly stopped and greeted him with a smile. “Minister Mu’en has come to report work to Lord Lei Sen again. Is the Enforcement Department busy recently?”

“It’s still about the previous matter. It hasn’t been concluded yet. Deputy An Ye, are you going out? I won’t delay your work.” Mu’en tactfully refused, and An Ye didn’t make it difficult for him either. He nodded with a friendly smile on his face. “Since Lord Lei Sen is looking for you, go and attend to your duties.”

Watching Mu’en leave, An Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

Mu’en knocked on Lei Sen’s office door. Lei Sen, the Chief of the North Star, was sitting behind the desk. At 105 years old, he was still relatively young for a beastman.

Lei Sen, dressed in military uniform, sat upright with a stern expression, characteristic of a military man.

When Mu’en entered, Lei Sen merely coldly said, “I’ve seen the test report. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

Getting straight to the point and entering a business-like state was always Lei Sen’s style. Mu’en had interacted with him many times before and was used to it. “Lin Su, this talented young female, should be kept at all costs. However, I also think we should consider whether our North Star truly has the ability to retain someone like him. Instead of using coercive measures to keep him, my suggestion is to befriend him and secure the long-term rights to purchase fruits and vegetables from him… ”

“In this way, no matter where he goes in the future, he will always have a connection to our North Star. Moreover, North Star will always hold a special place for him.”

Lei Sen nodded in agreement. “Just as I was thinking. Prepare the documentation and report it according to the procedures. During this period, maintain friendly contact with him as you suggested, try to sign a contract, and if you need anything, you can come directly to me. Besides that, ensure his safety and prevent any leaks of information.”

“I understand. I will make the arrangements.” After a pause, Mu’en added, “When I arrived, I ran into Deputy An Ye. He asked if the Enforcement Department has been busy lately, probably because I’ve visited multiple times.”

“I will talk to An Ye about it. You can go and attend to your duties.”

Mu’en nodded and left Lei Sen’s office. However, he didn’t expect to encounter An Ye again on his way downstairs. Seeing him, An Ye smiled again. “Minister Mu’en, have you finished reporting to Lord Lei Sen?”

“Yes, Deputy.”

“In that case, Minister Mu’en, how about coming to my office for a chat?”

“I’m sorry, Deputy. Lei Sen just assigned me some tasks that need immediate attention. Please understand.”

“Well, that’s unfortunate.” An Ye feigned a regretful smile. “Next time then, after all, work takes priority.”

“Thank you for understanding, Deputy An Ye.”

“You’re welcome.”

As Mu’en left the office building, he felt a sense of unease throughout the entire journey.

In the quiet night, a gentle breeze blew outside the window, with the stars shining above. William was dozing off, lying next to a young female who tightly embraced his large tail.

His warm breath sprayed onto it, making William’s heart tremble from the heat.

“Thud!”

A faint sound broke the silence of the night, sounding particularly abrupt.

The dog ears that were originally raised among his white hair stood upright, and his golden eyes narrowed.

“Thud!”

“Thud thud!”

After the first sound, a series of urgent noises followed, becoming more and more attention-grabbing.

William fully opened his eyes, and his golden pupils turned into vertical lines, radiating danger, and an eerie presence as he stared at the dark figure by the window.

Through the gauze curtain, he could vaguely see a round body, drooping long ears, and a pair of eyes that glowed red in the night.

“Thud thud thud!”

“Thud thud thud thud, clank!”

A slightly cool evening breeze followed these sounds, gently blowing the gauze curtain, and creating an ethereal sway.

William glanced down and took a gentle look at the sleeping female, carefully wrapping him in his tail.

The shadow that had been lurking by the window pushed it open, slowly sticking its head inside the room.

Even in the dark night, William’s beast-like pupils could see clearly.

It was a plump B-class contract beast, a black long-eared rabbit specialized in tracking.

Its powder-pink nose twitched in mid-air, sniffing the scent in the room.

William half-closed his eyes, suppressing his breath and lurking in the darkness, like a hunter waiting for its prey, silent and still.

It wasn’t until the long-eared rabbit pounced towards the sleeping Lin Su without any precautions that it was caught by the hunter waiting nearby.

“Squeak!”

The imposing aura of a high-level contracted creature was released, and the B-class long-eared rabbit in William’s hand instantly went limp.

He threw it under the bed, but his psychic thread remained connected to it.

The intelligence of a B-class contract beast was insufficient for communication. If he wanted to know something, he could only search bit by bit through its memories, a process that was not pleasant. By the time William obtained what he wanted, the black long-eared rabbit had lost much of its spirit.

After extracting the surplus psychic thread, William was surprised that this foolish rabbit could find this place based on its brief encounter with Lin Su.

But since it was here, it could do something for him.

He gave the command, and he could feel the rabbit’s resistance.

Even though it was a high-level contracted creature capable of releasing pressure to render it immobile or even kill it in an instant, the rabbit instinctively refused to submit.

It had some backbone, but such backbone was not enough in the face of absolute power.

In just three seconds, the foolish rabbit finally yielded under his pressure. Before leaving, its gaze fell upon Lin Su with a mix of reluctance and obedience to the order given by William.

It even took the time to close the window.

Making everything appear as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, when Su Jin woke up, he found that Kane, who should have been sleeping on the bed, was nowhere to be seen.

But there were faint sounds coming from outside the window. Su Jin lifted the curtain and saw Kane lively sweeping the courtyard. Compared to his stiff and slow movements of the previous day, he seemed to be much smoother now.

Even the large black figure running around him seemed much more solid.

It seemed as if he had completely recovered to his original state when they first formed a contract.

Su Jin quickly tidied up the bed, washed up briefly, and walked out. “Why did you wake up so early? Is your body alright? Couldn’t you rest a little longer?”

Seeing him, Kane walked over with a smile. “Look at me!”

As he spoke, he moved freely in front of Su Jin, no longer displaying the slow and stiff movements of the previous day, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

“I feel full of strength now, I have to do something to vent it. Look at Da-Hei, he’s so energetic, and his body has become solid. I might be completely healed. I’ve been exercising for so long, and my spiritual domain doesn’t hurt!”

Kane was excited, eagerly sharing his feelings with Su Jin.

Seeing him so happy, Su Jin couldn’t help but remind him, “Don’t be too happy just yet. Xiao Su didn’t say you’re completely healed.”

“But I really feel great. Even if I’m not completely healed, I’m almost there,” Kane said with a smile. Then, he suddenly remembered something and said seriously, “Is Xiao Su okay? Did he exhaust himself again?”

“What do you think? Every time Xiao Su finishes treating you, his face turns pale. You should cherish his efforts and quickly sit down on the side, don’t waste Xiao Su’s hard work.”

Su Jin snatched the broom from his hand and stood it aside. Hearing this, Kane dared not move anymore and obediently sat on a chair, his eyes fixed on Lin Su’s room.

Indeed, Lin Su had slept quite deeply, and when he woke up, he was even a bit dazed.

Rubbing his eyes and sporting a head of disheveled hair, Lin Su instinctively gathered the warm fox tail closer to his chest. After being half awake for a while, he turned his head and met William’s golden eyes, realizing that he had clung to the tail uncomfortably and acted spoiled the previous night. Lin Su’s cheeks felt hot.

He cleared his throat and pretended to be casual as he put down the large tail in his arms and smoothed out the raised fox fur. “It’s getting late. I’ll go out first!”

As he was about to get off the bed, he felt a soft and warm touch around his ankle. He turned to look and saw the large fox tail that he had just put down gently brushing against his ankle.

Subconsciously, he looked up at the owner of the fox tail and met a pair of golden eyes.

At that moment, the cold and mysterious beast eyes were warm and gentle, like a clear spring that could penetrate one’s heart.

The slight coolness that had just descended upon his face climbed back up, and Lin Su looked at William, not quite understanding his intentions.

But in the next second, William suddenly reached out and gently pressed down on his raised hair.

In that instant, Lin Su felt as if he had been acupunctured, his whole body stiffened, and only the area where William had touched remained sensitized, emanating a hot sensation.

Although William had only touched his hair lightly, even the sensation on his scalp was very slight, he felt an undeniable and distinct presence in that area.

“I woke up late today. If I don’t go out soon, Male Father and Female Father might worry.”

Lin Su quickly found an excuse for himself and hurriedly, with a flushed face, came out of the room, not even daring to look back at the expression on the face of the large fox behind him.

At this moment, his heart was beating faster than ever, and he could hear the thumping sound.

As he hurriedly came out of the room, he happened to bump into Su Jin.

Their eyes met, and Su Jin had a big question mark in his eyes. His scrutinizing gaze moved from Lin Su’s face to his feet. “Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine, I’m good, no need to worry!”

Lin Su mechanically replied, and he noticed that Su Jin’s suspicion grew even stronger. “If you’re fine, why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

Lin Su suddenly looked down at his bare feet, curling his toes lightly, and his ears turned completely red.

He coughed nervously. “I just woke up and I’m a bit confused!”

After saying that, he turned around, pretended to open the door naturally, put on his shoes, and walked past Su Jin as if nothing had happened. He headed straight for Kane, who was sitting in the courtyard like a well-behaved primary school student, not daring to move. “Male Father, how do you feel?”

Seeing Lin Su coming out, Kane, who had just been scolded by Su Jin, immediately stood up. “Son, you’re awake. Are you feeling alright?”

“I’m fine, Male Father. I’m completely fine after a good sleep.” Lin Su’s face still had a rosy glow, making his cat-like eyes appear dark and shiny. There was even a hint of red at the corners of his eyes, making him look charming.

Kane’s heart trembled, and his expression changed instantly. “Son, that brat William didn’t leave you alone even when you weren’t feeling well. Did he try to take advantage of you?”

“Huh?”

Long Chapter *-* I didn’t see that coming…
