The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 300 The Little Fox's Morning
"Look, look! The tongue is wavy!"

The little fox, lying on its side sleeping in bed, is in a completely relaxed state because its tongue is too long, and part of the tip of its tongue is exposed outside its mouth.

What foxes do naturally appears to humans as malicious cuteness.

Previously, when she was staying at A Qing's house, Mo Yiqing had seen the little fox sleeping many times, but she felt that Ling Ren and Tang You probably hadn't seen it yet, so she quietly called Ling Ren and Tang You over.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the sleeping fox's tongue, which was hanging naturally outside, swayed up and down rapidly as if it were dreaming of something, as if it were sucking on something, and it made a soft whimper.

The little fox's unconscious action immediately caused Mo Yiqing to gasp in surprise, feeling as if her heart was melting.

Ah Qing, who had just finished washing up, heard the exclamation coming from inside the room, poked her head in, and looked at what was happening on the bed.

Listening to the three people's discussion, Ah Qing's face showed a look of sudden realization, and she said:
"I thought something had happened. Xiao An is only about 10 months old. Someone his age should still be considered a minor. According to Baidu, people of Xiao An's clan usually don't fully develop until they are one year old."

"Yes, it's perfectly normal to unconsciously do things like drinking milk or kneading milk."

Ah Qing's main job is studying agriculture. Although she has gotten along well with animals since she was a child, she learned about foxes through Baidu.

Red foxes have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. They begin to mature around 10 months after birth, and it takes about 12 months for their bodies to fully develop.

Arctic foxes have relatively short lifespans and reach maturity relatively early.

"Xiao An dreamed of drinking milk? Is it true?" Mo Yiqing looked doubtful.

"Maybe you dreamed about iced cola? Anyway, I don't really recommend you poke Xiao An's mouth, because..." A Qing said, rubbing the face wash on her face, as she prepared to go back to the bathroom to wash her face.

As she walked, she spoke, reminding and advising them not to poke the little fox's tongue.

"Because of what?"

While A-Qing was talking, Mo Yiqing couldn't resist his curiosity and stretched out his arm. The little fox, sensing something approaching, dazedly reached out its two paws to grab it and gently bit it.

But after taking a couple of bites, the little fox was startled and woke up from its deep sleep, opening its eyes.

He saw the fair arm that was wrapped around him, and Mo Yiqing's face so close to his.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—ah, ptooey, ptooey—" An Sheng jumped up as a fox, opened its mouth, and stuck out its little tongue, spitting out saliva like crazy.

"Because Xiao An seems to have OCD, I poked his mouth while he was sleeping. When Xiao An woke up, he sprayed saliva all over my face."

"It seems that Xiao An only uses the hand-biting gesture when he is particularly excited or very happy." Ah Qing's slow, leisurely voice finally came through.

"."

The little fox, who had just woken up, stared at the three people squatting in front of the bed.

"Ah Qing! Next time, remember to tell us about these important things earlier!"

Having been sprayed with spittle, Mo Yiqing turned to A Qing and said something, then looked at the bewildered little fox, gave her a thumbs-up with a black line on his face:
"Young Fox Hero, your spray is excellent, and quite even."

Mo Yiqing complained, wiping his face and cleaning the spittle off his cheeks.

"What a terrible pun! You guys almost scared me to death. I thought some Cantonese twin-tailed fairy was crawling into my mouth." An Sheng protested Mo Yiqing's behavior with a black line on her face.

Based on An Sheng's experience, if you feel a foreign object in your mouth or ear while sleeping, it's most likely a cockroach, and there's a small chance you'll find a spider or fly.

While traveling on business in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang, An Sheng unknowingly developed a good habit.

If you feel a foreign object while sleeping, spit it out immediately; never swallow it.

Swallowing pigtails, jumping spiders, and flies are fine; at most, it'll just be an unpleasant experience. But if you swallow bedbugs or rove beetles or other poisonous insects, you're doomed for life.

"Waaah!" "Ah Qing, what did the little fox say?"

"He's calling people bad."

"Don't tell me, she's quite vengeful," the performer said.

...............

The three people, who had already finished washing up, had no choice but to go back to the bathroom to wash their faces again after being sprayed by their own spitting fox.

Ah Qing said, "Xiao An, come over as soon as you wake up."

An Sheng yawned, jumped onto the washbasin, and squatted on the towel that A Qing had laid out.

"Ah~" Ah Qing made a mouth opening motion.

"Eek~" An Sheng opened her mouth.

Aqing took out a disposable toothbrush, dipped it in water, and put it into the little fox's mouth to brush his teeth. Then she laid him down, took out scissors, and began trimming the fur between the little fox's toes.

After finishing her routine care, A-Qing left the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"Taking care of a small pet is quite tedious!" Tang You remarked after seeing what A Qing was doing.

“He didn’t need to brush his teeth before, but ever since Xiao An started liking cola, I feel like if I don’t brush his teeth, they’ll rot away sooner or later.”

Ah Qing looked at the closed bathroom door and the faint groans coming from inside, her face showing helplessness.

"I don't know how Xiao An became addicted to carbohydrate drinks."

………………

When An Sheng came out of the bathroom, she was immediately met with surprised looks from Tang You and Ling Ren. They looked into the bathroom and saw the toilet tank still being refilled with water.

"What are you looking at? Don't you flush the toilet after you use it?"

An Sheng rubbed its two front paws on the carpet, wiping away the water stains from when it washed its hands.

After drying off her paw pads, An Sheng climbed onto A Qing's shoulders and said with a cheerful expression:
"Let's go!"

"While you were sleeping last night, An had already taken down the local gang leaders and cleared away any obstacles you might encounter while you were out having fun."

"Just say my name, and I guarantee you'll have no trouble getting through."

"Oh? Has Xiao An made new friends again?" Listening to the little fox's words, A Qing couldn't help but think of Xiao An's unlucky state last night after he went out and couldn't get in the door.

You need to swipe a card to enter the hotel room.

The little fox opened the door by itself last night and went shopping, but when it came back, it couldn't get back in and started banging on the door frantically.

When A-Qing went to open the door, she saw the little fox squatting in front of the door, banging on the door with its two paws. It was clear that it was quite frightened by the collapse of the ancient tomb last night.

"If you insist on talking about making new friends, then it's not that I haven't."

"However, the friends I met last night weren't very happy. They all seemed to have experienced some kind of tragedy, like their families were destroyed or their wives and children were torn apart." An Sheng nodded earnestly.

“That’s true. There was a collapse last night. Your fox friends’ homes must have been quite affected, right? Their burrows might have even collapsed.” Ah Qing nodded in agreement and said, “Since Xiao An is so concerned about our new friends, let’s skip breakfast and go check on the damage over there.”

"But I don't know if we can get in. After all, that's an ancient tomb!"
