I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Well, it seems someone really is heartless.

Is it because of his age that you trust him so much?

However, a gifted foal can pull a large cart at this age!

Feeling the calm emotions and gentle breathing behind him, Bai Zhou exhaled softly, cleared his mind of all distractions, and prepared to fall asleep.

My husband must have stayed up late again. I'll wake him up first thing tomorrow morning and let him know the malice of getting up early.

It's because the gentleman kicked him away.

"Gurgle..."

Half asleep and half awake, Bai Zhou felt as if he had been trapped in a pile of furry tails.

Slippery and warm.

This... is not the master's tail...

The daytime has a keen interest in the tactile sensation of the sunset's tail.

The white-blue tail is covered with fine scales, with only a tuft of downy hair at the end. The tail feels slippery when wrapped around it, and the sound of the scales rubbing together is like the collision of small pebbles.

The evening tail is still fleshy, so that when the daytime tail wraps around it, it won't be pricked by the edges like when wrapping around wood.

Sometimes, the evening tail would even respond to his coiling. When the day's tail touched it, the evening tail would first slowly curl around the day's tail, then gradually tighten until there was no gap left, and then repeat this several times until both were comfortable. Oh, and the evening tail would occasionally tremble while curling, which was extremely interesting.

Now, the tails around Bai Ri are all fluffy... and there are many of them.

They... feel even better than Yuuo's.

"I'm going to get... caught by its tail..."

The boy mumbled in his sleep as he was entangled by several tails and dragged into a dream.

■

"Oh no! I overslept!"

When Bai Zhou crawled out from under a blanket of fox tails, it was already broad daylight outside.

It was obvious that he had overslept.

"Did you sleep well, Xiaobai?"

The lazy voice behind him made Bai Zhou frown, but then a smile returned to his face.

"Good morning, Sister Chuyu."

"It's getting late."

Chu Yu was still lying in bed wearing a clean white undergarment. Although she had woken up earlier, she hadn't been able to escape the clutches of the bed and had been lying there ever since.

"Fortunately, it's not breakfast time yet. If we go now, that gentleman might have just gotten up."

"Um... I'll go first, Sister Chuyu. If I'm late, the master will be angry with me."

He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out in his straw sandals during the day.

"Sigh...really...I was thinking of asking if my tail was comfortable."

With the daytime gone, Chu Yu had no reason to stay in bed any longer, so she had to get up, wash, and make her bed.

"Sir! Sir... Ah... You're already up..."

Xi looked up at Bai Zhou, who was rushing over, and frowned.

That strong smell... Did this kid sleep among the foxes yesterday?

"go out."

"Ugh?"

"Go outside and blow that smell away before you come back."

Upon smelling that odor, Xi felt a strange sense of irritation.

"The smell... oh."

It should be incense...

During the day, he obediently closed the door and stood outside.

After a while, Bai Zhou still hadn't returned, so Xi frowned, pushed open the door, and looked outside.

With a slight tilt of her head, Xi saw the boy squatting in the corridor, holding his face in his hands and looking at the wind chimes.

"Crack~"

The paintbrush tapped lightly on the boy's horn, startling him from his dazed stare.

"gentlemen!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, the boy happily stood up and moved closer to her.

"What are you doing here instead of going back inside?"

After a while, the strong, clinging smell that had been lingering around him was reduced to a stubborn wisp of smoke, which was within Xi's acceptable range.

"The gentleman doesn't like it, so I have to clean it thoroughly."

Xi gave a soft snort and turned to go back into the house.

"Hurry up, do you want to stay here one more night?"

"Oh! Coming right away, sir!"

That same evening, after they finished packing their things, the little fox girl came to find them to have breakfast.

After the meal, Bai Zhou asked to take his leave. Although the foxes tried to persuade him to stay, Bai Zhou was determined to leave.

The old woman was in poor health, so only her three sisters came to see her off.

"Setting off so soon? Guest, won't you rest for another night?"

Chu Yu's voice was soft and soothing, which made the two sisters look at her with slight surprise.

"No, no, one night is already enough trouble for the three of you. Farewell, everyone."

Bai Zhou hurriedly said goodbye, then half-pushed Xi, who had a cold face, into the car.

"Second sister, what made that immortal angry again?"

Watching the departing vehicles, the little fox girl looked at her sister with confusion.

"What do children know? I'm helping this little benefactor."

Chu Yu's smile grew even brighter.

"When a relationship between two people is in a bottleneck period, the appearance of a third person will stir up the relationship. After it calms down, the relationship will be enhanced in both depth and richness."

"don't know."

Frosty Moon shook her little head.

"Well, you'll understand when you grow up."

Chu Yu said, stroking her younger sister's hair.

"Let's go back."

Qinghuai beckoned the two to go home.

###

"gentlemen……"

Let the gnats move forward on their own, and let the day turn its head to look at the sunset.

How did you sleep last night?

"?"

Xi, who was daydreaming and brainstorming, looked up when she heard this.

"Fortunately."

It's not good.

The reason Xi was able to get up so early today was because she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep until she saw that it was getting light outside. She figured she had no energy to lie down any longer, so she simply got up.

She had just washed her face when Bai Zhou came back with that smell, making Xi's already bad mood even worse.

But now...

After being able to travel again, Xi's mood has improved a lot.

"Sir, let me lay out a cushion for you so you can rest a bit more."

Before Xi could even speak, Bai Zhou had already started taking out the straw mat and small pillow.

"I'll hold the umbrella for you."

After staring at the daylight for a long time, Xi finally nodded and lay down on the straw mat.

"...That's fine too."

A gentle breeze blows by, making it feel very comfortable.

The glaring sunlight was also blocked by the umbrella, not a single ray of it showing.

The drivers were instructed to slow down and let the car move slowly; the slight bumps actually made it more comfortable.

Xi squinted, having fallen asleep at some point.
