The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

The sudden appearance of robbers in the capital city immediately caused serious concern. Such an incident in the heart of the empire was nothing short of an embarrassment.

Confronted with this situation, Will, who used to be mild-tempered, lost his temper during the meeting and slammed the table.

As the youngest general in charge of maintaining the security of the capital city, Lin Te also felt the pressure. The occurrence of such an incident was akin to him failing in his duties.

For the past few days, Lin Te had been working late due to this matter. Every time he returned home, he would find the little female, Leng Tang, waiting for him on the sofa until he fell asleep.

When Lin Te picked him up, he could smell the comforting scent, and Leng Tang would nuzzle into his embrace, saying, “You’re back. I made dinner and kept it warm in the pot for you.”

Afterward, Leng Tang would rub against Lin Te’s neck and shoulder and continue, “Put me down, I can go to my room myself. You’ve had a long day, go take a shower and eat.”

Lin Te would kiss him affectionately and reply, “Don’t wait for me anymore, rest early.”

Leng Tang held onto Lin Te’s shirtfront and shook his head in refusal, “No, I can’t sleep well if you’re not back safe. Besides, I don’t have much to do during the day, so I don’t mind sleeping a bit later.”

Hearing the soft voice of the little female, Lin Te felt all his exhaustion dissipate in an instant. He was instantly cured.

“Let me carry you to your room.” Without giving Leng Tang a chance to refuse, Lin Te carried him to their bedroom and gently laid him on the bed. He then sat down to cover him with the blanket. “Sleep tight, I’ll be back soon.”

Leng Tang couldn’t resist sitting up to hug Lin Te, “Don’t worry, everything will be resolved.”

Lin Te nodded and smelled the unique fragrance of the little female, which made his heart soften. “Okay.”

The appearance of the robbers in the capital city left people anxious, especially after the incident involving Yan Qi, which led to a strict prohibition on going out alone. If someone needed to go out, they had to be accompanied by others.

The Yan family still felt a lingering fear at the thought of what had almost happened.

As for Yan Qi himself, he didn’t think much of it. After all, he couldn’t be unlucky forever. The incident that day was just an accident.

However, since he was not allowed to go out alone, he decided to use his time to do something else.

Taking out the freshly baked cookies, Yan Qi couldn’t resist the tempting aroma and couldn’t help but smile.

Yan Shan smelled the aroma and walked in, saying, “What delicious thing did you make? It smells so good! Give me a taste.”

Without hesitation, he reached for the tray of cookies, but Yan Qi slapped his hand away, scolding, “Don’t sneak a bite! These are not for you!”

Yan Shan rubbed his slightly painful hand, complaining, “If they are not for me, then who are they for? Yan Qi, you’re acting strange. Besides, it won’t hurt if I have a piece. I can even help you taste the flavor.”

“You can have the ones over there,” Yan Qi pointed to the broken pieces beside him. “Do I have to report to you whom I’m giving these to? You’re being too nosy, bro!”

The use of “bro” struck a chord in Yan Shan’s heart. He picked up some broken pieces of the cookies and put them in his mouth. The delightful taste of milk spread between his lips and teeth. As he watched Yan Qi carefully packing the small cookies, curiosity got the better of him, “Are you giving these to a male?”

Yan Qi’s movements paused for a moment, and his ears turned slightly red. It was indeed the first time he was doing something like this, and he felt a bit embarrassed. Nonetheless, he replied, “He saved me. Don’t I have to show some gratitude? Just asking, bro, you’ve been a bit moody lately, did you know that?”

Yan Shan felt another jab in his chest, “I’m just asking casually. Don’t make a big deal out of it.”

Yan Shan quickly grabbed a piece of cookie and stuffed it into his mouth, just as Yan Qi was about to explode. He dashed out of the kitchen before Yan Qi had a chance to react.

Yan Qi couldn’t help rolling his eyes, muttering, “You’re already such a grown-up, yet you still act so childish. Hmph!”

After tying a bow on the cookie package, Yan Qi carefully placed it into his bag, saying, “I’m going to Ai Su Dessert Shop.”

Yan Shan, who had just come downstairs, poked his head out, “I’ll accompany you.”

“No need, I can go by myself.”

“No, you don’t. Otherwise, Male Father will scold me if he finds out. Let’s go; consider it my reward for tasting one of your cookies earlier.”

“Hmph, I’m not that petty.”

“But you still baby me so much. You graduated from Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy, and you don’t even know how to make something delicious for your big brother to eat.”

“Don’t exaggerate. You’ve eaten plenty of the things I’ve made!”

“I mean something special, just for me!”

Yan Qi rolled his eyes, not wanting to entertain Yan Shan’s increasingly unreasonable behavior.

On their way, Yan Shan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Aren’t you giving those to Lin Feng? He’s not at the restaurant though.”

Yan Qi held the cookies in his hand and said, “I don’t have his contact information. I want Xie Bai to help me.”

“It’s troublesome to ask Xie Bai. Give it to me; I’ll help you.”

“No, thanks.”

Yan Shan: “…You rejected that way too quickly!”

Yan Qi: “What if you sneak a bite?”

Yan Shan: “Do I look like that kind of person?”

“Although you don’t look like it, what if you are?”

Yan Shan suddenly felt like he could do without this younger brother. Maybe he should just abandon him!

After dropping Yan Qi off at the restaurant, Yan Shan said before he left, “Hurry up; I’ll wait for you in the car.”

“Okay.”

Yan Qi ran into the restaurant, intending to find Xie Bai in the kitchen. However, coincidentally, as soon as he entered, he spotted Lin Su.

His eyes instantly lit up, “Lin Su, Your Grace.”

Lin Su noticed the person coming in, “Yan Qi, what brings you here?”

Yan Qi walked over with a smile, “I originally came to ask Xie Bai for help, but seeing you is even better. Your Grace, could you please deliver this to Lin Feng for me? I want to thank him for saving me. I wanted to invite him for a meal, but he refused, so I made some cookies in the hope that he would like them.”

As he reached the end of his explanation, Yan Qi became a bit embarrassed.

Lin Su knew some of the things that had happened before and took the cookies with a smile, “Sure, I’ll deliver them for you. Is there anything else you want me to tell him?”

“Uh, nothing else, just thank him very much.”

“Alright, don’t worry, I’ll convey your message to him.”

“Okay, thank you, Your Grace. Well then, I’ll take my leave.”

“Okay.”

Watching Yan Qi leave, Lin Su glanced at the carefully packaged cookies and turned to Su Jin with a raised eyebrow.

Su Jin walked over and asked, “What happened? What did that kid ask you for?”

“He wanted me to deliver these to Second Brother.”

Su Jin’s eyes lit up, “Is he interested in your Second Brother?”

Lin Su felt that Su Jin’s imagination was even wilder than his own, “It’s probably just a simple expression of gratitude.”

After saying that, Lin Su sent a message to Lin Feng, first taking a photo of the cookies and sending it over: “Second Brother, do you like these cookies?”

Anyway, let’s first make Lin Feng happy ^_^.

Lin Feng’s reply came quickly, “Are you planning to give me cookies? Of course, I like them.”

Lin Su sent a smiley face, “Yes, they are for you, but I didn’t make them. Yan Qi asked me to give them to you as a thank you for saving him. When do you have time to come and pick them up, or should I bring them to you?”

Upon hearing that Yan Qi was the one sending the cookies, Lin Feng was a bit surprised, but he didn’t want to trouble Lin Su to make a special trip, “I’ll come over.”

Recently, it wasn’t safe, and females had to be cautious outside.

Lin Feng arrived quickly; Lin Su hadn’t even finished making the soup, and Lin Feng walked in from outside.

He was tall, and even though he didn’t often appear in public, every time he did, it meant there was a new achievement, naturally making people remember his face.

Some of the young females in the shop couldn’t help but call out his name when they saw him.

Lin Feng heard the surprise and turned to smile at them.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Su came out, “Second Brother, the stuff is on the counter. Are you in a hurry to leave? If not, wait a moment, I made pork and corn soup. You can take some back to drink later.”

Since Lin Su personally cooked, Lin Feng naturally didn’t want to miss the delicious soup. After all, he had nothing to do these days, so he found a chair in the kitchen, opened the cookies, and took a bite. The milky fragrance was very rich, causing Lin Feng to squint his eyes. Unable to resist, he had a second piece.

Seeing that he seemed to like it, Lin Su turned around and said, “I’ll send Yan Qi’s contact to you later. Don’t forget to thank him.”

Lin Feng nodded, “It’s nothing. In fact, I didn’t do much; I even bumped into him. I should be the one apologizing. Let me know what he likes, and I’ll give him a gift.”

Lin Su didn’t say anything in response, but he felt that these two were quite interesting.

He handed the soup to Lin Feng, saying, “Pour it out when you get home and reheat it when you want to eat.”

“Okay. Are you leaving now? Shall I drop you off?” Lin Feng asked.

Lin Su smiled at him, “I sent Yan Qi’s contact to you. You can go back by yourself. William will come to pick me up later.”

Lin Feng suddenly understood that he, as a single man, was different from Lin Su.

On his way back home with the cookies and soup, Lin Yue had returned without him realizing it. Sitting on the sofa, he was munching on a peach. When he saw Lin Feng coming in with something in his hands, his eyes lit up, “Second Brother, what do you have there? I want to taste the cookies.”

Lin Feng evaded him, “Go somewhere else. Take this to the kitchen and pour it out.”

Not being able to grab the cookies, Lin Yue took the thermos instead, “What’s with these cookies? I can’t eat them? Weren’t they given to you by little brother?”

Clearly, Lin Yue wasn’t really clueless; he could tell from Lin Feng’s reaction that the cookies were definitely special.

Lin Feng huffed, “Does anyone need so much explanation for a gift? This is the soup little brother made, so don’t spill it.”

Lin Yue squinted his eyes, “Second Brother, you seem a bit off. Is something going on? Even with Big Brother quickly getting into a relationship, do you still want to go for a detour?”

Lin Feng tapped him on the head, “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you spend your workdays researching this kind of stuff? I should have Male Father do a surprise inspection one day.”

“Don’t be annoyed just because you’ve been caught red-handed, Second Brother. We are a serious company!”

After saying that, Lin Yue turned around and took the thermos to the kitchen. He planned to come back and have a good argument with Lin Feng, but when he returned, Lin Feng had already gone upstairs. How could he not wait here for him?

Feeling dissatisfied, Lin Yue was about to ask what had happened when the communicator on his wrist began to buzz.

He pressed the answer key and heard his manager’s voice, “Lin Yue, we got the script from Director Xia. Come over quickly.”

Lin Yue instantly forgot about Lin Feng’s mysterious cookies and quickly got ready, rushing out of the house.

Director Xia Jue was famous in the industry. Anything that went through his hands as a director was bound to be a success.

Lin Yue and his manager rarely had the opportunity to meet up, so Lin Yue was too preoccupied to think about anything else. He hurriedly made his way to the meeting place, and when the manager came downstairs to receive him, he adjusted Lin Yue’s collar and said, “Director Xia has a request.”

“What request? If it’s something I can agree to, I’ll accept it all.”

After all, it was Xia Jue, a person who controlled half of the entertainment industry. There was nothing he couldn’t agree to.

“He wants you to play the lead role.”

Lin Yue was taken aback, “Didn’t you tell him that I’m already…”

“I did, but he said that without you, there’s no point in cooperation. What should we do?”

Lin Yue pursed his lips, “Why did he choose me? Hasn’t he seen the works I’ve done before? As a renowned director, can’t he tell whether I have acting skills or not?”

This request seemed strange not only to Lin Yue but also to the manager, who had been in the industry longer than Lin Yue.

Lin Yue’s acting was not flashy; it barely passed as decent, and this was partly due to his lack of interest in the field.

“I don’t know what he’s thinking. Maybe you’ll understand if you talk to him in person.” The manager pressed the elevator button.

They arrived at the meeting room, where Xia Jue was casually leaning against the sofa in a simple white shirt and black trousers. His tall figure had rare purple irises, which looked alluring and mysterious.

When he stared at someone, it was as if he possessed a kind of magic that could peer into one’s heart.

He seemed like a wizard from ancient times.

As Lin Yue entered the room, he noticed that the calm purple irises contained layers of profound meaning.

“Sorry for being late, Director Xia.”

“Not late, I decided at the last minute to call you over.” Xia Jue’s voice was low and slightly hoarse. “Your manager must have informed you about the condition for obtaining this script. It’s only possible if you can play the lead role. If not, there’s no point in proceeding with this collaboration.”

Lin Yue’s manager had already told him about this condition before, but hearing it from Xia Jue once again, Lin Yue couldn’t help but feel surprised, “May I ask why? You must know that I don’t have much talent in acting.”

“Talent can be cultivated over time. I chose you because you are suitable for the role, and also, I like your face.”

As Xia Jue spoke, his eyes never left Lin Yue’s face.

This made Lin Yue’s manager’s heart skip a beat, but then he remembered that both Lin Yue and Xia Jue were male, so he secretly relieved himself.

Xia Jue’s last sentence was too easy to lead to wild imagination.

If it were a female here, Xia Jue’s words would undoubtedly sound like he was implying something inappropriate.

Lin Yue was also a bit surprised. Over the years, he had been complimented on his good looks, but this was the first time someone had been so direct. He couldn’t help but give Xia Jue another look, thinking that this man had a good eye for beauty. “Director Xia, you look good too.”

It was clearly a courteous response, but Xia Jue seemed to be quite pleased, “Is that so? Is my appearance also your type?”

Lin Yue smiled and nodded, “Of course, especially your eyes. They make people very curious.”

Xia Jue’s smile grew even brighter, “You’ll have the chance to find out.”

The manager’s heart was pounding again. Why did he find this conversation so strange?

“I’m looking forward to working with you, but I have to say, I really don’t have acting skills. Are you still determined to have me play the lead role?”

“Yes.”

“Alright then, I’ll take a closer look at the script. Can we discuss this again next time?”

“Of course, I hope you can give me a definite answer after careful consideration.”

Xia Jue stood up gracefully, shook hands briefly with Lin Yue, and then left the meeting room.

After he left, the manager spoke, “Why do I feel like Xia Jue got even weirder after meeting you?”

“What’s weird? I thought he was quite easy to talk to. Why do so many people find him difficult to get along with?”

The manager shook his head, “I don’t know. It was my first time meeting him too. Maybe he’s just hard to get along with when it comes to actual filming. But are you really planning to accept the offer?”

“The opportunity is rare, and besides, once we take on this project, even if our people can’t play the lead role, a supporting role would be enough.”

More importantly, Xia Jue’s reputation is at stake here, and even if it’s not a blockbuster, there is a stable fan base.

It’s definitely a win-win situation.

But can his acting skills really make it? He won’t be completely overshadowed by Xia Jue, will he?

“So when do you plan to give him a definite answer?”

“I think I need at least three days to review the script, so let’s do it in three days.”

With the matter confirmed with his manager, Lin Yue didn’t stay at the company any longer. He took the script and went straight home.

For dinner, Lin Yue enjoyed the corn and pork soup prepared by Lin Su. The rich broth mixed with the aroma of corn perfectly balanced the greasiness, making him want a second bowl.

Apart from the tender and delicious meat, the corn inside was also exceptionally tasty.

After a satisfying family dinner, Lin Yue went upstairs early to read the script.

Seeing that he unusually didn’t stay to chat, Qin Yi suddenly asked, “Why is Xiao San1Third so quiet today?”

“He said he got a script from a big director and is reading it!” Lin Feng explained. Just as he finished, his communicator vibrated twice. Opening it, he saw a message from Yan Qi: “Lin Feng, do you like the cookies? I wasn’t sure what you prefer, so I made some small ones. Hope you don’t mind.”

Lin Feng cleared his throat and got up, saying, “I’m going to my room to rest.”

Watching him go upstairs, Qin Yi commented, “Why do I feel like Xiao Er also acting strange today?”

Lin En looked puzzled, “Strange? I don’t think so.”

After Lin Feng went upstairs, he closed the door and replied to Yan Qi, “Thank you, the cookies were delicious. Are you free tomorrow? Would you like to go to the Contract Beast Hall together?”

There was no immediate response from Yan Qi, but Lin Feng wasn’t in a hurry.

After all, Yan Qi had sent him cookies, so it wouldn’t be nice if he didn’t show any appreciation.

Yan Qi stared at the message from Lin Feng for a long time before hesitantly asking, “Why do you want to invite me to the Contract Beast Hall?”

Lin Feng replied, “It’s just a return gift for your cookies. Since I’ve accepted your small treats, I could only think of inviting you to the Contract Beast Hall. I can’t come up with anything else. Or do you have any other place in mind? Let me know.”

The hint of strangeness in Yan Qi’s heart disappeared instantly. “No need, let’s go to the Contract Beast Hall then. I’ve never been there. Thanks, Lin Feng, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

Lin Feng replied, “Don’t mention it. As long as you like them.”

After setting the meeting time, the two of them naturally didn’t continue chatting.

The next morning, when Lin Feng was about to leave, Lin En came downstairs and asked, “Where are you going so early?”

Putting on his shoes, Lin Feng answered, “I have something to do. Are you going out too, Male Father?”

“Yes, there’s been progress in the robbery case your older brother was handling. Today, they might make a breakthrough, so I’m going to check it out,” Lin En explained. Then he thought of something else, “Where are you planning to go?”

“To the Contract Beast Hall. Since it was established, I haven’t visited it yet.”

“That’s a good idea. Enjoy yourself.”

Father and son left one after the other. Lin Feng had arranged to meet Yan Qi at a specific location. When he hurried there, he saw Yan Qi standing on the roadside, preparing to stop the car to pick him up. But just as a hovering car stopped in front of Yan Qi, the moment it drove away, Yan Qi disappeared without a trace.

Realizing what had happened, Lin Feng’s heart sank. He quickly contacted Lin Te and then drove to catch up.

Meanwhile, inside the car, Yan Qi felt like the unluckiest person alive.

Did these robbers specifically target him? It felt like they were after him again and again!

His mouth was gagged, and the person wearing a mask only revealed a pair of murky eyes. “You better behave and do as you’re told, or else you’ll regret it.”

Yan Qi wasn’t foolish enough to think he could take on these people alone. Leaving aside whether he, as a female, could handle these males, even considering the weapons they had, he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves.

“Boss, there’s someone following us in the car behind.”

“Shake them off. If we can’t, take them with us.”

Yan Qi immediately knew who was following them. It was Lin Feng; they had agreed to meet.

What should he do? He couldn’t let Lin Feng get involved. It would be unbearable even if he died a thousand times.

Lin Feng was closely tailing the kidnapper’s car. As time passed, the car in front entered an abandoned building in a deserted area.

They shamelessly stopped the car and pulled Yan Qi out of it. Inside, there was a scarred, older male with a face full of scars. He raised his hand and slapped Yan Qi hard, saying, “You little brat! It’s all because of you that I’m wanted by the military. If I die here today, you damn well better accompany me to my grave, along with that bastard who came with you!”

The slap sent Yan Qi crashing to the ground, the impact sounding particularly harsh and real.

The immense pain instantly made his eyes turn red, but he clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to make a sound.

He knew these people were all desperate criminals, and the more he begged for mercy, the more it would fuel their sadism.

Lin Feng sent the location to Lin Te, paying no attention to Lin Te’s message asking him not to act recklessly.

If he hadn’t invited Yan Qi to come out today, this situation wouldn’t have happened at all.

Moreover, as a male, he couldn’t just stand by and watch a female get beaten up without doing anything.

Even if that meant ensuring his own safety, his conscience would be troubled.

“You’ve got some guts, I thought you’d hide in the car and not dare to come out, haha!”

Sarcastic voices came from all sides. Although Lin Feng’s stature as a male was not small, compared to these people, he was still weaker.

Seeing Lin Feng, Yan Qi couldn’t care about the pain on his body. He struggled to get up from the ground, his mouth gagged so he couldn’t speak. He could only shake his head, urgently gesturing for Lin Feng to leave.

“I know him, he’s that famous researcher, a member of the Lin family!”

Upon hearing this, the scarred man’s eyes widened, and he burst into laughter. “Even the Beast God himself is reluctant to let me die. The Lin family is impressive! Now that I see you’re here, they won’t dare to bombard this place. Even if they do, it’s worth it to have you accompany me to my grave!”
