The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

After Lin Te failed to contact Lin Feng, he knew something was wrong. Knowing Lin Feng’s personality, he would never abandon Yan Qi and ignore the situation. His face instantly became grim, and if the other party dared to do anything to his younger brother, he would make them regret being born: “Get in touch with them, I want to talk to them!”

Lin Feng stood on the ruins, adjusted his tie, and although as a researcher, he didn’t have much time for physical training, it didn’t mean he was weak.

After advancing from S-rank to SS-rank, he hadn’t fully tested his abilities yet.

“I don’t care who you are, hurting a female is unacceptable.” Lin Feng took off his suit jacket, “If you want to come at someone, come at me. Let him go; my worth should be much greater than his.”

“What a beautiful thought. Since you’re here, you can stay, and we’ll take him too,” said the scar-faced leader, provoking laughter from his followers.

Yan Qi, sitting on the ground, looked anxious. Lin Feng had just mentioned replacing him, making him extremely nervous. While it was true that Lin Feng was more valuable, that wasn’t a reason to put him in harm’s way. Moreover, because of Lin Feng’s value, he couldn’t afford to be injured.

Tears uncontrollably flowed from the corners of his eyes as he shook his head, hoping Lin Feng would see and give up on saving him.

Lin Feng unbuttoned his shirt, trying to minimize any restrictions on his movements.

Ignoring the leader’s words, Lin Feng glanced at Yan Qi, “Close your eyes if you’re scared.”

Even without a subject, Yan Qi knew those words were meant for him.

“Who do you think you are, trying to play the hero?” said a male standing beside the scar-faced leader as he charged at Lin Feng.

But in the next second, Lin Feng disappeared from where he stood, and in his place was a large and ferocious black panther. The creature’s ink-black beastly eyes coldly stared at the assailant, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.

Lin Feng gently patted his contracted beast’s head, “It’s been a while since I let you out. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

The black panther let out a roar, as if saying, “You finally remember!”

“Today, you can have some fun.”

The black panther’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

As the tall male approached them, he felt an overwhelming pressure the moment Lin Feng released his contracted beast.

This was the restraint of a high-level contract beast user against a low-level contract beast user.

But how could this be possible? He’s an S-rank contract beast user, the only one who could make him feel such pressure would be an SS-rank!

Lin Feng knew that, a young and outstanding S-rank researcher.

But how could he emit such a strong sense of pressure?

The scar-faced leader standing below furrowed his brows. He was much stronger than his little brother and could clearly feel Lin Feng’s strength. “Attack together!”

Hearing this, Yan Qi desperately tried to get up from the ground, but the ropes binding him were too tight, and he couldn’t break free.

Lin Feng was undoubtedly strong, but facing so many opponents at once, could he handle it?

These people rushed towards him, releasing their contract beasts, and the air was filled with chaos and melee.

However, despite being alone, Lin Feng showed no signs of falling behind.

The scar-faced leader observed the scene and his eyes grew more malicious. He extended his hand and grabbed Yan Qi who lay to the side, “Lin Feng, take a look at him!”

Amidst the chaos, Lin Feng caught sight of Yan Qi being grabbed by the scar-faced leader. His eyebrows furrowed, “Harming a female is nothing to boast about. If you have the guts, come at me together!”

The scar-faced leader chuckled, “I was never a good person to begin with. What’s the use of talking about guts? If you don’t want him dead, behave yourself, or I’ll strangle him!”

With that said, the scar-faced leader tightened his grip around Yan Qi’s neck.

An instant suffocating feeling caused Yan Qi’s face to turn red. He struggled, trying to pry the leader’s hand open, but the difference in strength was overwhelming.

Lin Feng’s face changed, and in the midst of the chaotic battle with the contract beasts, he suddenly stopped. As a result, he became vulnerable to attacks and fell from midair.

With a thud, he hit the ground.

“Hehe, I admit you’re indeed surprisingly formidable, but so what? You’re still going to surrender obediently, aren’t you?”

The scar-faced leader threw Yan Qi back to the ground and approached Lin Feng step by step.

Struggling, Yan Qi managed to stand up and gasped for breath. He caught a glimpse of Lin Feng being caught by the scar-faced leader and his pupils dilated.

“No!” The object blocking his mouth fell out with the chaos.

Yan Qi’s voice hoarsely shouted, summoning the strength to stand up from the ground and putting himself between Lin Feng and the scar-faced leader’s back.

This sudden action startled the onlookers.

“Damn, you want to die, little female? Do you want to have some fun?” An aggressive male, who had been eyeing Yan Qi, approached step by step.

Lin Feng intervened, “Don’t touch him. Come at me if you want to fight!”

“Hehe, you can’t even protect yourself now, and you still want to play the hero!” The scar-faced leader’s fist struck Lin Feng’s face, and just then, Yan Qi’s cry echoed from a distance, deeply agitating Lin Feng. “I’ve given you face!”

Suddenly enraged, Lin Feng’s response was quick. The scar-faced leader couldn’t react in time and was brutally kicked to the ground. The sudden reversal astonished the others standing by. However, before they could react, Lin Feng had already picked up a stone from the ground and struck the scar-faced leader on the temple, “I told you not to touch him!”

Blood dripped down Lin Feng’s forehead, making him look fierce and disheveled.

Tears streamed down Yan Qi’s face as he watched Lin Feng.

The tall male who had grabbed Yan Qi earlier released his grip, “Kid, you’ve got guts!”

Lin Feng chuckled darkly. It was the first time in his life that he had fought so fiercely for someone else, leaving himself in such a sorry state.

His gaze fell on his disheveled clothes on the ground, tears silently flowing from Yan Qi’s eyes, but he didn’t scream or panic.

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t let them hurt you as long as I’m here.”

“Let me go now, and I’ll let you both leave.” The scar-faced leader sensed the pressure emanating from Lin Feng, a pressure that definitely didn’t belong to an S-rank contract beast user. The closer he got, the more awe it instilled in him.

“Leave? Ha!” Lin Feng chuckled. “Have them all move to the side, crouching on the ground with their heads down. No one is allowed to move, or your leader will die right here.”

His contract beast appeared again, roaring with intimidation.

“Hurry up, do as he says! Do you want to see me dead?” The group reluctantly moved to the side, following Lin Feng’s instructions.

“You’re not just an S-rank contract beast user. What level are you, exactly?” The scar-faced leader couldn’t help but ask, wanting to know even if he was about to die.

In the distance, a rumbling sound came, and Lin Feng looked up at the floating car in the sky. Big brother, you finally came!

If it had been a little later, he would have been in big trouble here!

Lin Te got out of the car, and the scene before him was both expected and unexpected.

He had known for a long time that Lin Feng was not as weak as he appeared.

Yan Qi was taken away by the medical personnel who rushed over, and Lin Feng watched as the captured gang members were taken away one by one. He looked down at the scar-faced leader still in his grasp and said, “I am an SS-rank.”

As he spoke, he let go of his grip and pushed the man forward.

As he watched the scar-faced leader being taken away, Lin Feng swayed a bit but managed to stay on his feet. He looked at Lin Te, “Big brother, if you had come any later, you wouldn’t have seen me, hmm, it hurts.”

“I see you enjoy playing the hero. Why don’t you give up your identity as a researcher and join the military with me?”

“Big brother, please don’t make fun of me.” Lin Feng finally couldn’t help it and sat down on the ground, tilting his head to look at Yan Qi, who had been taken to the car. He then lay down on the ground. “If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have come out today.”

Lin Te squatted down to look at him, “You protected him well.”

After speaking, he lightly patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, “Get up, don’t lie on the ground. Get in the car and let the doctor check you.”

Lin Feng propped himself up with Lin Te’s arm and got up again, “If it weren’t for me inviting him out, he wouldn’t have encountered this.”

Lin Te didn’t comment on this, and he directly escorted Lin Feng onto the medical vehicle where Yan Qi was.

When the car door opened, their eyes met, and tears welled up in Yan Qi’s eyes. Lin Feng was helped onto the car and sat on a chair, “Don’t cry, I’m not really dying! It’s just some external injuries, though they look serious.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qi hugged him, and he noticed the ambiguous smile of the medical personnel in the car. Lin Feng belatedly felt his cheeks flush and raised his hand to awkwardly pat Yan Qi’s shoulder, “Yan Qi, can you wait a bit before hugging me? It, it hurts my wounds a little.”

Hearing this, Yan Qi immediately let go, “Where does it hurt? I’m sorry.”

His voice was hoarse, clearly due to being choked earlier.

“Your throat…”

“His throat got injured, but it’s not a big deal. It just needs some time to heal. I know both of you are worried about each other, but please take care of your own injuries first, and then you can hug each other, alright?”

Yan Qi pursed his lips, his cheeks flushing. He had acted a bit impulsively just now.

Lin Feng raised his hand to cover a cough, “I also think I need to bandage myself.”

After speaking, he glanced at Yan Qi, then uncomfortably moved to the back of the car.

As Lin Feng had said, his injuries were indeed just external wounds. After simple treatment, they healed quickly, but the fatigue and exhaustion in his body weren’t so easy to recover from.

Sitting in the back of the car, he fell asleep at some point.

When Lin Te woke him up and got off the car, Lin Feng was still a bit dazed. Looking around, he saw that everyone else was gone, leaving only him and Lin Te. Lin Feng wiped away the non-existent drool at the corner of his mouth, “Where did everyone go? They all left?”

“I know you’re tired. Go home, take a shower, and then rest.”

Lin Te affectionately ruffled Lin Feng’s head. His younger brother had been obsessed with research since he was young and had never experienced such an incident before, yet he did so well on his first time.

“Go home?” Upon hearing these two words, Lin Feng immediately shook his head, “No, if I go back like this, female father will definitely worry. Find a hotel and put me there.”

“Look at whose house this is!”

Following Lin Te’s instruction, Lin Feng looked outside the window and only then noticed that it was the house Lin Te had recently bought, “This is your house? It’s not appropriate for me to go there, what about Leng Tang…”

“Why so much nonsense? Get off the car. But you can only stay in the guest room, at most for two days. Now hurry up and get out of here!”

The bit of touched feeling in Lin Feng’s heart disappeared instantly. It seemed that his brother’s tolerance for him was only two days, nothing more!

Seeing Lin Feng and Lin Te return together and learning about what happened, Leng Tang was startled and quickly asked Lin Feng to rest.

Feeling the glare from his elder brother, Lin Feng knew he couldn’t stay here for two days. He was afraid that he would be kicked out at any moment, so he quickly went to the room prepared for him and rested.

After Lin Feng left, Leng Tang turned to Lin Te, “You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

“I’m perfectly fine, don’t worry. Lin Feng won’t stay here for too long. Once his injuries are healed, he’ll go back. Female father contacted me and said he’ll be back in three days.”

Lin Te held Leng Tang’s hand and kissed it lightly, making the little female blush at his actions.

Despite having a cold and stunning appearance, he unexpectedly easily became shy.

Lin Te couldn’t resist hugging him and showering him with more affectionate kisses.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng lay on the bed, feeling pain all over his body.

He opened the communicator and first received a message from Lin En: “I told your eldest brother to rest at his place. You don’t need to worry about your female father; today’s performance was not bad!”

Then came a message from Lin Su: “How are you, second brother? Are you alright?”

Finally, a message from Yan Qi: “I hope I didn’t disturb you when I left. Thanks for today.”

Lin Feng replied to these messages one by one, then pulled the blanket over his head and fell asleep in no time.

Lin Su looked at the messages Lin Feng sent back and felt that today’s events were really thrilling.

When William came to tell him at the time, he was really taken aback.

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn’t appear as weak as he seemed. As an SS-level Contract Beastman, Lin Feng was undoubtedly very strong.

William rubbed Lin Su’s hair, “Alright, now there’s nothing to worry about. Can you sleep now?”

Lin Su leaned against William’s shoulder, “Is my second brother considered a hero for saving the beauty?”

William chuckled lightly, “What wild imaginations are going on in that little head of yours?”

Lin Su looked up at him, his eyes shining brightly, “Based on the normal development of a story, what do you think will happen next?”

William shook his head, “Knowing your second brother, he probably doesn’t have so many ulterior motives. He likely saved the person simply because it was the right thing to do. Whether it was Yan Qi or someone else, he would have done the same.”

Those from the Lin family have always felt a sense of justice.

Lin Su thought that the big fox was really not romantic at all, but unfortunately, he had no room to refute, “You’re right. I thought it might be a sweet story, but who knows, it might turn out to be a tragic love story, sigh!”

William playfully kissed his face, “As long as the outcome is good, isn’t that all that matters?”

Lin Su hugged his neck, “Luckily, we understand each other.”

William lifted him up and walked towards the bedroom, “Since we understand each other, it’s time for us to sleep.”

In the morning, Lin Feng was woken up by the communicator. When he answered the call, he heard Lin Yue shouting loudly on the other end, “Second brother, you had an accident yesterday. How are you? Are you okay?”

Lin Feng held back the veins popping up on his forehead, “Don’t you check the time? Lin Yue, are you trying to get yourself killed?”

“What time is it? Second brother, you should check the time. It’s already 10:00 in the morning, and you’re still asleep. Are you really okay?”

Lin Feng looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already 10:15; he had actually slept until now. He sat up on the bed, “What do you want?”

“Just asking how you are. I heard from big brother that you had an accident yesterday, but now seeing you so energetic, I feel relieved. You’re quite handsome as a hero saving the beauty!”

Lin Feng replied, “…What hero saving the beauty? Nonsense! I’m fine, hang up!”

Lin Yue looked at the black screen in an instant, pursed his lips, and muttered that his second brother was still the same, not understanding romance.

Xia Jue came in with a teapot and placed it on the table, casually asking, “Who were you chatting with?”

“Oh, my second brother. Xia, do you also like to drink flower tea?”

Looking at the three beautiful white camellia flowers floating in the glass teapot, Lin Yue reached out and poked them.

“The taste is excellent, and it makes you feel relaxed after drinking. Your younger brother is a remarkable person.”

“Of course, my little brother is full of ideas,” Lin Yue chuckled, “Xia, let’s discuss the script.”

“I’m not in the mood right now. I’m a bit tired. Let’s continue this afternoon. What would you like for lunch? I’ve learned how to cook steak these past few days. Do you want to try it?”

“Sure, sure! Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“Not at all. If you’re willing to help, it would be even better.”

“Great!” Lin Yue followed Xia Jue into the kitchen.

Looking at the spacious kitchen, Lin Yue hadn’t expected that Xia Jue would be someone who thoroughly enjoys life.

“Is it surprising?” Xia Jue noticed the slight change in Lin Yue’s eyes and smiled, “What kind of person do you think I am in your eyes?”

“You seem approachable and easy to get along with,” Lin Yue replied.

“Is that so? Do you find me easy to get along with?” Xia Jue suddenly approached, and Lin Yue instinctively sensed a slight pressure, as if Xia Jue was an SS-level contract beast.

“Yes, I think you’re quite easy to get along with,” Lin Yue said.

Xia Jue nodded with a smile, “That’s good. Help me wash the vegetables.”

“Sure.”

Lin Yue walked over to the vegetables placed near the sink and was about to reach out when Xia Jue came from behind and said, “Wait, put on an apron first; otherwise, you might wet your clothes.”

Lin Yue subconsciously extended his hand, “Xia, I can…”

But accidentally touched Xia Jue’s warm hand. Xia Jue chuckled softly, “It’s not easy to tie it behind. Let me help you.”

His natural attitude effortlessly dispelled the awkwardness.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Now, you can help me tie mine,” Xia Jue naturally turned around, letting Lin Yue fasten the loose strings of his apron.

As Lin Yue leaned closer, he caught a whiff of a pleasant fragrance, a faint hint of lime.

“There you go.”

Xia Jue nodded, “Let’s get started.”

“Oh, sure.”

Lin Yue, who had never done this before, didn’t know why, but suddenly he felt that this moment became somewhat sacred.

Xia Jue’s culinary skills didn’t resemble those of a beginner; it made Lin Yue wonder if Xia Jue had studied at the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy as well.

Otherwise, how could he be so skilled?

When the fully cooked steak was plated, Lin Yue realized how hungry he was.

Xia Jue brought out a bottle of wine from home and poured two glasses. “I found that this wine goes well with beef. Have you ever tried it?”

Lin Yue shook his head, “No!”

“Then you should try it today.”

Carefully cutting the beef for Lin Yue, Xia Jue placed it in front of him. Lin Yue felt somewhat flattered and said, “I’m really sorry for making you help me with the cutting, Xia Jue.”

“It’s no big deal,” Xia Jue’s purple eyes gleamed with a smile, making him seem incredibly gentle. Lin Yue blinked and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

After lunch, Lin Yue felt a bit drowsy, and Xia Jue handed him a blanket. “Take a nap for a while, we’ll discuss the script in the afternoon.”

“Okay, thank you.”

When Lin Yue received the blanket, he suddenly felt that Xia Jue wasn’t as difficult to get along with as the rumors suggested. In fact, he was quite gentle.

Due to the wine, Lin Yue was indeed a bit sleepy. He lay down on the sofa and soon fell asleep.

Xia Jue sat beside him, quietly watching him with a tender gaze and a slight smile on his lips.

Lin Yue was much simpler than Xia Jue had imagined.

Uncontrollably, a pair of sharp, grey, dog-like ears popped up on Xia Jue’s head. He licked his sharp canine teeth.

After a week of discussing the script at Xia Jue’s place, Lin Yue felt oddly relaxed when it finally came to an end.

When he returned to the company and met his manager, the look in the manager’s eyes was somewhat off. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

The manager pulled him aside, “What’s going on between you and Xia Jue? You haven’t been answering any communications for a whole week while discussing the script.”

Lin Yue recalled how, during their first meeting at Xia Jue’s place, Xia Jue had asked him to turn off the communicator as he didn’t like being disturbed during work. Lin Yue thought it was nothing, so he turned it off.

“Yeah, Xia Jue doesn’t like to be disturbed during work, so I turned it off. Is there something you need from me?”

“It’s nothing, I was just worried since I didn’t hear from you for a whole week. I wanted to make sure everything was alright,” the manager said, looking Lin Yue up and down. “So, you’ve really been at Xia Jue’s place all week?”

“Yes, and let me tell you, Xia Jue can cook really well, and he’s quite gentle too. I’m starting to find him very easy to get along with.”

Seeing the gleam in Lin Yue’s eyes, the manager couldn’t help but say, “I recently inquired about Xia Jue. Many people say he’s a clean freak and strict on set during filming. He never participates in gatherings and is somewhat aloof.”

“Who told you that? It must be fake news. I spent a week with him, and I didn’t see any signs of him being a clean freak.” Lin Yue felt that Xia Jue was not only gentle but also quite charming. If Xia Jue were female, he might have been interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, but being friends with Xia Jue was still very pleasant.

“Maybe those people don’t really know him. Oh, by the way, the script is finalized. Did Xia Jue mention when the shooting will begin?”

“He said he’ll inform us once the time is set. I think it will be soon.”

“Got it. We’ll be ready here as well.”

With the confirmation that Lin Yue was fine, the manager relaxed and left.

Having stayed at Xia Jue’s place for a week, Lin Yue felt a bit uneasy suddenly leaving.

He attributed this feeling to Xia Jue’s exceptionally thoughtful care during his stay.

On the way back home, Lin Yue received a message from Xia Jue and answered with suspicion, “Hey, did you forget to tell me something, Xia Jue?”

On the other end, he heard hurried breathing, as if something was being suppressed. It made Lin Yue feel nervous unconsciously. “Xia Jue, are you okay? What’s going on?”

“Lin Yue, can you come over? Something has happened on my end.”

“Sure, I’ll be there.”

Lin Yue originally planned to go home, but he immediately changed direction and drove toward Xia Jue’s place.
