The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

At the end of the month, the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy finally welcomed the graduation exams for its first batch of students.

Various prestigious families received the news and arrived at the venue early in the morning to observe the examination process, hoping to select suitable chefs to bring back home.

Among them, some were the female parents of these families who came specifically to watch their young ones’ graduation exams.

Several elders from the prestigious families gathered together, looking at the students wearing clean chef uniforms and taking the exam with serious expressions. They felt relieved and happy.

It was truly different now. The young ones who used to give them headaches had become outstanding after this period of transformation and learning.

Now that their precious young ones were out there, who wouldn’t praise them at first sight?

As a dessert chef, Yan Qi’s exam would take place after the chef examination.

Xie Bai came over in his regular clothes and asked them, “Are you nervous?”

The group of dessert students waiting behind saw him and stood up one after another, saying, “Teacher Xie Bai, why did you come here?”

“I came specifically to see how you are preparing. Don’t be nervous; as long as you perform normally, you will all graduate.” After speaking, he looked back at Yan Qi. The relationship between the two had eased quite a bit after spending this period of time together. “How are you doing?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Yan Qi nodded with a smile. “After learning from you for so long, I won’t embarrass you.”

Xie Bai chuckled, “That’s good. Your parents are here today too, so perform well and let them see how excellent you are.”

After encouraging them, Xie Bai also had to prepare for himself. As a dessert teacher at the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy, he would also be one of the judges for the exam.

For today’s graduation exam, Lin Te, who wasn’t very busy at the moment, was specially asked by Lin Su to come over. Most of the students in their academy were females, with only a small number of males, and they had separate exams.

Lin Su arranged for Lin Te to sit in the first row of the audience seats through his connections, and as for the purpose, he didn’t need to say it aloud for Lin Te to understand.

Unexpectedly, his younger brother took Lin En’s request quite seriously and handled the matter accordingly.

Sitting on the side with a slight smile, Lin Te purposely didn’t wear his uniform today. He looked tall and handsome in a simple suit.

The unique military temperament on him couldn’t disappear just by changing his clothes.

As soon as Lin Te entered, he caught the attention of many people. Some recognized him and were excited to approach him for a chat, but the venue was already seated, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to move around casually.

Others didn’t recognize him, but were attracted by Lin Te’s presence and inquired from those around them about who this tall male was and whether he was married.

If he wasn’t, could their young ones still have a chance?

Sitting in the first row, Lin Te watched as the young females in white chef uniforms entered the exam hall one by one.

Each of them exuded youth and a hint of nervousness, making him silently sigh in his heart that youth was truly wonderful.

Luckily, Lin Su wasn’t here; otherwise, he would hear his musings and probably laugh himself to death.

Wasn’t his big brother still young himself, yet he praised others for being young?

Among the group of people, Bai Xing noticed Lin Te sitting in the audience seats. His dark pupils suddenly dilated; he never expected to see him in such a place.

Emotions that had calmed down earlier now rippled once again.

His hand hanging at his side unconsciously tightened.

Why was Lin Te here, and whom was he here to see?

As a keen military man, Lin Te quickly noticed Bai Xing standing among the exam candidates. He felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before. He casually glanced at him and then shifted his gaze away.

The exam started quickly, and as the candidates skillfully stirred and cooked their dishes, the large exam hall filled with a delightful aroma.

Many people couldn’t help but start salivating.

“If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have come. This is too torturous!”

“I need to quickly make a reservation at the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant. After this, I’ll go there and have a big meal. I’m so hungry!”

“After making so many dishes, can’t they share some with us to taste?”

As if hearing their thoughts, after the judges’ comments, the remaining untouched dishes were packed into small containers and sent to the audience seats, inviting everyone to share.

To the surprise of the audience, they really got to eat the dishes, and they were immediately delighted.

A tall, somewhat glamorous young female approached Lin Te and handed him a small portion of braised pork. “Are you General Lin Te?”

His voice was clear and slightly uncertain.

Lin Te reached out to take what he offered and nodded, “Yes, I am.”

The young female seemed unbothered by his confirmation, nodded in response, and then turned to distribute food to the next person.

Lin Te couldn’t help but take another glance at him.

When Lin Su came over, Lin Te was eating the braised pork in his hand, which was delicious and tender, suiting his taste buds perfectly.

Lin Su lightly tapped the railing and asked, “Big brother, how is it? Did you find someone you like?”

The first impression between people is crucial.

Lin Su didn’t know Lin Te’s preferences, so he could only invite him to come and take a look for himself. If there was someone he particularly liked, Lin Su would know how to approach the matter in the future.

He initially thought Lin Te wouldn’t say anything, but to his surprise, Lin Te suddenly pointed at a young man closest to the entrance, who was preparing to leave with his belongings. “What’s his name?”

Lin Su followed his gaze and looked in the direction he pointed, “Leng Tang.”

Suddenly hearing this name, Lin Te’s eyes lit up, “Did you say Leng Tang?”

Is he from General Leng’s family?

Lin Su noticed the light in Lin Te’s eyes and couldn’t help but laugh, “Big brother, you don’t have a target so soon, do you? I invited you here just to take a look. I really didn’t expect you to find someone so quickly. If you’re interested in him, you should first ask if he already has a partner.”

After all, in the Empire, when a female turns 18 and is unmarried, he will enter the compulsory matchmaking pool, and the chances of obtaining extensions are very slim.

Lin Te stood up and fastened his buttons, “I won’t watch anymore. Thanks for today.”

Looking at his big brother, Lin Su nodded with a smile, “Okay, I wish you all the best.”

“Thank you for your well-wishes.”

After seeing Leng Tang leaving, Lin Te followed him outside.

Lin Su shook his head with a smile. He really didn’t expect that his big brother would be interested in someone who appears to be a bit aloof.

Moreover, it seemed that his big brother had never looked for a partner not because he was unwilling but because he hadn’t encountered the right person. Now that he had met someone, he immediately took action.

Bai Xing saw Lin Te leave and instinctively followed him.

Leng Tang came out of the changing room and exchanged greetings with his classmates as he walked outside, where he saw Lin Te at the entrance.

There was a hint of surprise on the young boy’s face, but he quickly regained his composure. Lin Te lowered his gaze and looked at him, “Long time no see, Leng Tang.”

A hint of unusual emotion finally appeared in Leng Tang’s calm eyes, “Do you remember me?”

Lin Te nodded with a smile, “Sorry, I didn’t recognize you immediately earlier. Do you need a ride home? I can take you.”

“No need, my friend is waiting outside. I have plans today,” Leng Tang pursed his lips, “General Lin Te must be very busy. I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”

“Alright.”

Lin Te didn’t insist and simply watched him leave. When he saw a tall male waiting outside the academy, he rubbed his nose with his hand.

Bai Xing, who had been observing the scene from a distance under the tree, bit his lip. Just as he was about to approach, he saw Yan Qi, who had just finished the exam, coming out.

Their eyes met, and the other person was momentarily stunned. Then, he noticed Lin Te standing not far away. A strange glint flickered in Yan Qi’s black eyes, but he quickly turned away as if he hadn’t seen anything, and got into Yan Shan’s car after leaving the school gate.

Bai Xing clearly hasn’t given up on General Lin Te, but this time he won’t be foolish enough to play matchmaker for them again.

Because of that glance from Yan Qi just now, Bai Xing felt rooted to the spot. It’s not like he hadn’t had opportunities before, but he had never seized them. Looking at Lin Te’s receding figure, Bai Xing sighed.

How could he have thought he had a chance just now?

When Lin Te returned home from the academy and Lin En was unusually at home, Lin En couldn’t help asking, “Xiao Su invited you to attend their academy’s graduation exam. How was it?”

“It was quite impressive.”

“Who asked you about that? Weren’t you looking for something good?” Lin En lightly raised an eyebrow. He didn’t believe that someone as mature as Lin Te wouldn’t understand his meaning. “Don’t pretend to be clueless with me.”

Lin Te blinked, “Is General Leng Shu still stationed at the border? He should be coming back soon, right?”

“Next month. Why are you suddenly asking about him?”

“Just remembered it.”

Lin En stared at him for a moment and suddenly said, “By the way, the young female from General Leng Shu’s family will come of age this year. Back then, that little one followed you and kept calling out that he wanted to marry you when he grew up. I wonder if he has a potential partner now.”

Lin Te lifted the cup of freshly brewed flower tea, blew on it lightly, and said with a seemingly helpless tone, “It’s been so long, and you still remember that?”

“If you didn’t mention it, I might have forgotten. Let me go and ask. If you two can really be together, it would be fate.”

“Male Father, don’t believe everything you hear. That little one is too young. Can you not make a big deal out of it?”

“You two are not that far apart in age. I think it’s you who’s making a big deal out of it. Now go upstairs.” Lin En dismissed him and went to send a message to Leng Shu.

Sipping the tea in his cup, Lin Te’s lips curved slightly, “Male Father, please don’t actually contact General Leng Shu. It would be awkward if he knew what you were thinking.”

Ignoring him, Lin En had already started sending the voice message to Leng Shu. As Lin Te heard the voice coming from below, he stopped his steps to go upstairs and stood there listening.

“Marshal Lin, what made you think of contacting me?”

“Leng Shu, I just suddenly thought that your deployment at the border is almost over. Are you coming back soon? When you return, let’s get together. Oh, by the way, how old is your family’s young female this year? Has he married yet?”

“My deployment ends at the end of this month, and I will visit you then. Ah, my little one will come of age in a few months. What marriage? I’m actually worried about it. If he doesn’t find a suitable partner by 18, he will have to enter the compulsory matchmaking pool. Marshal, do you have any suitable candidates to introduce?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Te lightly tapped the armrest and headed upstairs.

Well done, Male Father!

For the first batch of graduates, Lin Su and Su Jin prepared graduation photos and certificates.

When Lin Su was approached by Leng Tang, he was a little puzzled. After hearing the young female’s intention, he smiled somewhat absentmindedly, “Are you here to inquire about my big brother’s relationship status?”

Unexpectedly direct, Leng Tang’s cheeks flushed. With his eyes shining even brighter, he nodded, trying to suppress his embarrassment, “Yes.”

Lin Su took note of his expression, feeling a bit surprised. Yesterday, Lin Te was still worried about whether Leng Tang had a partner, and today, Leng Tang came to ask him if Lin Te had one. Could these two have fallen for each other at first sight?

“Is there no way for you to answer that question, Lord Lin Su, or has General Lin Te already…”

Leng Tang unconsciously bit his lip, clearly hesitating to say the rest.

Yesterday, when Lin Te suddenly came to him, he had a feeling that he had a chance, but it seemed that he was still too late.

“No, my big brother is currently single, but he’s about to reach the limit for extension requests. He might have to enter the compulsory matchmaking pool next time. Leng Tang, what’s the meaning of you coming to find me?” Lin Su asked knowingly, hoping to get an accurate answer from Leng Tang.

Hearing that Lin Te was still single but about to enter the compulsory matchmaking pool, Leng Tang’s joy on his face receded slightly. “I’ve liked General Lin Te for a long time.”

“Do you two know each other from before?” Lin Su’s eyes brightened, finally sensing something unusual.

He had always wondered why Lin Te, who had been uninterested in romance for a long time, suddenly found a suitable partner just by attending a graduation ceremony. It turned out they knew each other from before!

Leng Tang nodded, “When I was a child, my male father brought me to General Lin Te’s house to play. Lin Te was very gentle.”

He even wanted to marry him when he grew up. However, Lin Te was much older, and by the time he came of age, Lin Te might already have a child.

Over the years, he had silently kept an eye on him, wanting to get closer but worrying that Lin Te might find him too young and not good enough.

In the end, it was a combination of insecurity and nervousness that kept him hesitating until now. If he hadn’t seen Lin Te at the graduation ceremony, he wouldn’t have taken this step on his own.

Yesterday, when Lin Te offered to take him home, he was so nervous that he refused.

Would Lin Te think poorly of him?

Seeing the conflict on the young female’s face, Lin Su gently patted his shoulder, “How about this, I’ll arrange for you to meet. As for the outcome, it depends on both of your feelings. Do you think that’s okay?”

Leng Tang nodded, “Alright, thank you, Lord Lin Su.”

“No need to be polite. I’m also hoping for a good result for you two. I’ll talk to my big brother about it. Can I contact you later?”

“Of course!”

Having received the answer he wanted and an unexpected gain, Leng Tang left happily.

Shortly after he left, he received a message from his Male Father, “My child, Marshal Lin has introduced a potential partner for you. Tomorrow at 2 PM, go to the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant and meet. Even if you’re not willing, do it for your Male Father’s sake, okay?”

The last sentence left no room for refusal.

Leng Tang had been worried about his marriage for quite some time, just like what Leng Shu had said. He could only do as Leng Shu suggested, go and take a look, play along, and then refuse if it’s not suitable.

Meanwhile, Lin Te was already ordered by Lin En to go on a blind date at 2 PM tomorrow. Although he put up a resistant front, he was secretly thrilled about it.

As he turned around, he received a message from Lin Su, informing him about arranging a meeting with Leng Tang and inquiring about his availability.

Coincidentally, Lin Te openly told Lin Su about the arrangement Lin En had made for him.

After hearing Lin Te’s words, Lin Su also found it incredible. It seemed that Lin Te and Leng Tang were truly destined for each other.

The big brother that Leng Tang used to chase and shout about marrying when he was a child had become his partner in adulthood. It was quite sweet to think about.

Lin Su told William about this when he got home, and William smiled as he looked at the little female, “It seems that General Lin Te’s lifelong matter is going very smoothly.”

Lin Su reached out and embraced William, “Indeed, finding someone you both like in this world is truly a special and fortunate thing, don’t you think, Brother William?”

Suddenly being called “Brother” by the little female, William’s canine ears uncontrollably perked up, and his golden beast-like eyes surged with emotions. He suddenly lifted Lin Su’s chin and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Say it again?”

Lin Su hugged his neck and teasingly said, “Brother!”

Ah~ It’s another wonderful night~

The date was set for 2 PM, and in order to break the other’s impression of himself, Leng Tang deliberately arrived fifteen minutes late.

He found the pre-arranged private room, pushed open the door, and made a not-so-sincere apology. However, when he lifted his head, he met Lin Te’s eyes with a slightly amused glint.

The apologetic words came to a halt, and his once fair face now showed some unease.

How could it be… Lin Te, of all people?

“Have a seat. Did you look surprised to see me?” Lin Te poured a cup of floral tea for him, “Have some water.”

Leng Tang mechanically took the cup, but as soon as he took the first sip, he started coughing, and his eyes turned red.

Worried, Lin Te got up and walked over, gently patting his back, and asked with concern, “Are you okay now?”

After coughing for a while, Leng Tang slowly looked up at Lin Te, “Why is it you?”

“Are you surprised it’s me?” Lin Te put down his hand and squatted in front of him. This unexpected move made Leng Tang feel a bit uneasy, and his cheeks reddened. His eyes shimmered as he looked at Lin Te and gently nodded, “I never expected it to be you.”

If he had known it was Lin Te, he would never be late!

Lin Te smiled as he looked at him, “Then, Tang Tang, do you still remember what you said when you were little? Do you still want to marry me?”

Leng Tang was taken aback by Lin Te’s directness. His eyes widened suddenly, and he unconsciously covered his mouth. His already reddened eyes now turned completely red. Apparently, this wish had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. When it finally came true, he couldn’t control his emotions and started crying uncontrollably.

Startled by this unusual scene, Lin Te hurriedly grabbed some tissues and wiped his tears, saying, “Tang Tang, don’t cry. I shouldn’t have asked that way. It’s my fault. It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me. Please don’t cry, alright?”

His hand was suddenly held, and Lin Te met the teary black eyes of the young female. His heart tightened.

“No, I want to marry you… sob hiccup…” Leng Tang, crying until he hiccups, probably felt embarrassed, but his tears only flowed more fiercely, making him inexplicably adorable.

Listening to Leng Tang’s hoarse voice saying he wants to marry him, Lin Te reached out and pulled him into his embrace. “It’s okay, cry all you want. Big brother is here.”

Hugging Lin Te’s waist, Leng Tang cried his heart out.

After venting his emotions, and wetting a large portion of Lin Te’s clothes, Leng Tang finally calmed down. Seeing the soaked area on Lin Te’s chest, Leng Tang felt embarrassed and said, “Take it off, I’ll bring it home to wash.”

Lin Te chuckled as he looked at Leng Tang’s slightly swollen eyes from crying and clasped his hand in his own. “Do your eyes hurt? Let me get some ice to apply.”

Before Leng Tang could respond, Lin Te called the waiter and got some ice to help soothe Leng Tang’s eyes.

Facing Lin Te’s tenderness, Leng Tang felt a warm sweetness in his heart.

Afterward, the two of them had some food. When they came out of the Ai Su restaurant, Lin Te turned his head and asked Leng Tang, “Where else would you like to go?”

Leng Tang smiled at him, feeling like he was dreaming. The person he liked since he was a child was now his boyfriend. The feeling was so surreal that it could make him laugh even in his dreams. “Do you really want to be with me?”

Feeling Leng Tang’s unease, Lin Te held his hand tightly. “Do you think it’s too soon to directly go to the matchmaking hall and get our marriage certificate?”

“Not at all!” In fact, it could be even faster.

Sensing the anticipation in Leng Tang’s eyes, Lin Te directly took him to the matchmaking hall.

They got their certificate.

When they came out of the matchmaking hall, their status had changed from unmarried to married. Holding the two little red books, the smile on Leng Tang’s face never disappeared.

“Aren’t you going to look at me?” Lin Te laughed as he looked at the young female who had been staring at the marriage certificate since they got it. He playfully patted his head. “Let’s go to my house first. When your male father comes back, we’ll visit him together.”

Leng Tang nodded, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”

However, his eyes still didn’t leave the marriage certificate.

Upon receiving the news of Lin Te’s marriage, Lin En realized that he seemed to have been calculated.

But when he returned home and saw Leng Tang there, he instantly let go of his anger. Well, he wouldn’t argue with him on account of his eldest son’s wedding.

When Leng Shu received the news, he felt both incredulous and happy for his child. He had known about Leng Tang’s feelings for Lin Te for a long time, but he thought the age gap between them was too significant, so he didn’t intervene.

That day, when Lin En suddenly sent him a message, he replied with a tentative attitude, not expecting it to turn into a sincere invitation. If he had known, he would have boldly approached Lin En much earlier.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now.

With a joyful heart, he handed Leng Tang over to Lin Te, and the heavy burden in Leng Tang’s father’s heart was finally relieved.

After Lin Te met Leng Tang, Lin Te dragged him to get their marriage certificate. The speed was simply faster than a rocket. He had to admire his elder brother’s efficiency in taking action.

Either stay single forever or get married at lightning speed.

Leng Tang moved out from his family’s home and directly moved into Lin Te’s house.

Thus began their newlywed life.

When the news of Lin Te, the heir of the Lin family, marrying Leng Tang, the young female of the Leng family, spread, it shocked many people. There had been no prior announcements, and suddenly, there was news of their marriage and certificate.

The Lin family was indeed extraordinary.

When Bai Xing heard the news, he was stunned for a long time. From the moment he decided to give up, he knew that Lin Te would eventually get married. However, he never expected it to happen so quickly.

But he knew he had no chance now.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Yi and Lin Feng, who were far away, put aside their experiments and expressed their intention to come back and celebrate.

After finishing the meeting, Will, who received Lin En’s invitation to the gathering, happily sent his blessings and assured him that he would definitely be there.

Having a reasonable excuse to take time off work, he was more than willing to attend!
