I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 154 Are you all here to eat?

Qi Xiao was wearing a dark blue denim short-sleeved shirt with three buttons undone at the collar and a silver chain dangling from his collarbone, looking incredibly handsome.

Seeing Ning Zexi standing next to Xu Ying,
Ning Zexi narrowed his eyes. Could this guy be here to freeload? A big boss with thousands of acres of ranch coming to a small, run-down shelter for freeloads? That's just too outrageous!
Ning Zexi was about to speak sarcastically when he saw Qi Xiao say to Xu Ying, "Station Chief Xu, this is an insulation device delivered by Mr. and Mrs. Feng Yun's biotechnology company. Two experts will be coming with a construction team to install it later."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Ying's eyes lit up immediately. Great! With the insulation device, she wouldn't have to move the seedlings around all day and carefully manage the insulation and cooling measures.

It turned out they were just delivering goods. Ning Zexi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was about to say goodbye before Xu Ying could politely ask Qi Xiao, "Have you had lunch yet?"

But to his utter surprise, just as he was about to speak, the fox cubs inside the house caught wind of his arrival and crawled out of the rescue station on all fours.

[Wow, Dad's here!]

[You haven't visited us in so long!]
Fox Sibao, who isn't usually very active in exercise, was almost the fastest running at this moment: [I want to drink fresh goat milk~~~]

Not to be outdone, Fox San San, who loves looking at handsome men (except Ning Zexi), flapped her little paws in the air to help her jump, and skillfully leaped onto Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao felt like he had developed muscle memory from handling these little fox cubs, and he immediately embraced them all.

The fox cubs felt that the milk and meat Qi Xiao brought were always the freshest and tasted the best, and they especially liked "nanny" Qi Xiao who came to feed them.

Xu Ying could understand what the fox cubs were babbling about, and sighed helplessly, "Hey! You guys need to be more reserved, you bunch of gluttons!"

"They're here to deliver goods, not to bring you food."

"You all act like you're reincarnated starving ghosts, making it seem like I'm abusing you!"

Hearing Xu Ying's words of "disappointment and frustration," Qi Xiao smiled and finally dragged a bunch of bags off the passenger seat.

"I did come to deliver food."

He realized that he hadn't brought the fox cubs fresh milk and meat for almost half a month. He had promised Fox San San and the others at the rescue station headquarters that he would come to visit them often when he had time.

Who could bear to break their promise to such an adorable, fluffy creature?

It just so happens that Feng Yun and his wife were going to deliver insulation equipment to Xu Ying recently. After learning that Xu Ying had left headquarters with the fox cubs, and that she was on vacation today, Qi Xiao specially chose this time to deliver it, and also brought some fresh beef and mutton to make lunch for Xu Ying.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying's rescue station had guests.

[Daddy, there are lots of delicious dishes today!]

Fox Four grabbed Qi Xiao's trouser leg and pulled him toward the rescue station.

The cheetah and vulture also emerged from the rescue station. They recognized Qi Xiao; when they were hanging out in the area, they often ate the meat sent from Qi Xiao's ranch. Sometimes the ranch meat was delivered by Qi Xiao, and sometimes by the staff.

Therefore, they were very excited to see their "bread and butter" and the cheetah nudged Qi Xiao with its head, trying to push him into the rescue station.

[Come on, handsome, come have lunch! Lots of dishes!]

[Station Chief Xu, what are you standing there for? Why don't you invite the handsome guy out for dinner?]
They are usually fed by Qi Xiao, and now they are thinking that there are many delicious dishes at the rescue station, so that Qi Xiao can go and try them.

When Ning Zexi saw the little fox, who refused to let him kiss her cheek, climb onto Qi Xiao and start nibbling at him, even the most arrogant fox leader had become adorable in front of Qi Xiao, he was furious.

Owning a ranch is something else!

Seeing a group of large animals enthusiastically trying to pull Qi Xiao into the rescue station for a meal, Ning Zexi was so angry that his hair almost stood on end.

Xu Ying heard all the animals, big and small, enthusiastically inviting Qi Xiao in, while Ning Zexi looked resentful like a wronged woman, truly caught in a dilemma!
However, just as she was in a dilemma, the sound of a car engine came from afar.

A special-plated SUV pulled up in front of the rescue station. The driver's side door opened, and Chen Su, carrying a sports handbag, got out of the car.

On his day off, he wore his own casual clothes. The beige turtleneck sweater accentuated his straight shoulders, and the color softened his usual cool demeanor. Black trousers outlined his long, slender legs.

Ning Zexi and Qi Xiao both turned their gazes to Chen Su at the same time. What was he here for this time?
Chen Su was quite surprised to see such a lively scene at the entrance of the rescue station.

Ning Zexi knew that Chen Su was aware of the time Xu Ying had invited him to dinner, so he didn't hold back and mocked, "Captain Chen, why did you come over at mealtime?"

You were not invited.

Chen Su remained calm: "I've already eaten. I'm here to deliver equipment to Xu Ying for learning grappling techniques."

Ning Zexi: ?

They all have more and more excuses than the last!
Seeing this scene, Xu Ying's temples throbbed. These four people couldn't possibly just stand and sit outside chatting and sunbathing, could they? "You've all worked hard!"

"Let's go sit in the shelter and have some food, otherwise it will get cold."

Ning Zexi said sarcastically, "There don't seem to be enough dishes for four people!"

Qi Xiao glanced at him and nodded in agreement: "I brought some fresh beef and mutton, which will be good for everyone's meals."

"I'll cook for everyone to try my cooking."

Chen Su glanced at the truck in front of the rescue station, then rolled up the sleeves of his sweater: "My cooking skills are pretty good too, how about I do it?"

"Mr. Qi, you've come all this way to deliver goods, it must be tiring for you. Take a rest and drink some hot water."

When Xu Ying heard Chen Su say those words in such a serious tone, she almost burst out laughing.

Ning Zexi watched the two of them arguing fiercely, hating himself for being a complete culinary disaster, his cooking skills were utterly inadequate, and he didn't even qualify for the competition. He gritted his teeth.

Half an hour later, Ning Zexi took a big bite of the beef rib.

Although I hate to admit it, both Qi Xiao and Chen Su's dishes were incredibly delicious.

With a positive attitude, Ning Zexi convinced himself that this was a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits, since his original intention in coming to the rescue station was simply to get some food.

The table where they ate was a square table. Xu Ying sensed the strange atmosphere among the four people and silently picked at the food in her bowl. These four could play mahjong together.

Don't let her face such a chaotic situation again next time!

The dinner party ended with Ning Zexi washing the dishes and clearing the table, Qi Xiao and Chen Su putting away their things and leaving, and everyone going home.

After seeing off the three big shots, Xu Ying collapsed onto the sofa, silently praying that such an embarrassing situation would never happen again.

*
Two days later, one morning.

The scorching sun beat down on the Gobi Desert. Xu Ying squatted beside a weathered rock, carefully changing the bandages on an injured serval.

Her shelter uniform was soaked with sweat and stuck to her back, but she remained focused and her movements were not relaxed in the slightest.

“Hang in there a little longer, little one,” she whispered to the serval, her fingers deftly unwrapping the old bandages. The serval whimpered but didn’t struggle, understanding that this human was helping it; she was a friend of Chief Black Cat, someone it could trust.

Suddenly, a series of rapid flapping sounds came from afar. Xu Ying looked up and saw a group of familiar dark figures flying rapidly towards her.

Xu Ying squinted; it was his old friend, the vulture.

But today their flight was clearly abnormal. Instead of gliding down majestically as usual, they were flapping their wings rapidly and emitting sharp cries.
