Chapter 18
Zhi Yao honestly told Pei Chiyao about how she had rescued the white fox today.
After listening, Pei Chiyao's expression finally eased up a little.
"A mother fox?"
Zhi Yao was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he was asking - the gender of the fox.
She nodded, "It should be."
She hadn't noticed either, but she felt it was a small female fox.
Next, Zhi Yao keenly felt that Pei Chiyao's actions had become much gentler.
After bathing, the little fox's fur was even snowier white and softer.
Zhi Yao carefully sized up Pei Chiyao. Although he didn't show much expression on his face, she could still sense that compared to before, he was in a much better mood now.
She rubbed her head against Pei Chiyao's chin. Pei Chiyao picked out a skirt from the ones Pei Ning had brought and asked, "How about this one?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, "Pei Chiyao, when can I turn into a human?"
Her golden eyes were full of innocence and urgency.
She had experienced the joy of being human before and didn't want to be a little fox forever.
Among their kind, foxes were a symbol of cubs. She had grown up already and didn't want to remain a fox.
Zhi Yao had never forgotten her dream.
She wanted to become Su Daji!
Pei Chiyao laughed lightly, "You want to wear human clothes?"
Zhi Yao nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at rice grains.
"Why do you want to become human?" Pei Chiyao was intrigued. He lightly flicked up Zhi Yao's chin with his forefinger, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Her golden eyes were spotless, so clear that he could even see his reflection in them.
What a beautiful pair of eyes.
Pei Chiyao marveled to himself inwardly.
"I've been human before, Pei Chiyao. Being human means I can eat lots of delicious food, go anywhere I want, and even act in dramas!"
Speaking of acting, Zhi Yao's eyes shone even brighter, but in a flash, she seemed to remember something and became very troubled.
"It's just...I'm too stupid. I keep getting tricked."
Thinking of the fat woman who had deceived her, Zhi Yao felt a lingering fear.
If it wasn't for meeting Pei Chiyao, she dared not imagine what would have happened afterwards.
Come to think of it, Pei Chiyao was her lifesaver!
"Tricked?"
Pei Chiyao looked down at the little fox perched on his shoulder. She did seem silly and ignorant. If she left his side, wouldn't she just get swallowed up without even her bones remaining?
"Stay obediently by my side, no one will dare bully you, and even if there is, I'll back you up."
Zhi Yao nodded blankly, not understanding all his words but knowing that Pei Chiyao would not harm her.
"Thank you, Pei Chiyao."
As foxes, they were most conscientious. Once she turned into a human, she would definitely repay Pei Chiyao's kindness properly.
...
After her bath, Zhi Yao was sweet-smelling and soft to the touch, her fur all fluffy. Wherever she went, the servants couldn't peel their eyes off her...because she was just too cute...and they desperately wanted to pet her.
Pei Chiyao was in the shower so, bored, she wandered around the villa.
Suddenly, she trespassed into a place she had never been before.
There were many, many books around and bookshelves too.
Zhi Yao wagged her tail, thinking about leaping up to grab a book in her mouth to take a look. She could recognize human writing.
All of a sudden —
A buzz resonated in the quiet study.
Zhi Yao swiftly turned to look in the direction of the sound. It was a rectangular, black, shiny thing that could also glow - a cell phone!
She recognized that object. It could make calls!
The little fox leaped up in a flash, landing atop it. She cocked her head curiously and pressed all over the screen with her soft paw pads.
Then inexplicably, she was so frightened that she tumbled off, landing butt-first on the ground.
Just now — just now there was an image of herself inside it?! How could that be?!
Could it be...could there be a fox living inside this phone too?!
Thinking this, Zhi Yao grew angry.
Bad, bad, bad!
He had said she would be his one and only fox, but Pei Chiyao was secretly keeping another fox behind her back. She was so infuriated!
Hmph!
Zhi Yao puffed up her cheeks. She psyched herself up before leaping back onto the phone, poking the screen relentlessly with her paws.
But this time, no matter what Zhi Yao did, she couldn't find that female fox again.
She must have gotten scared away by her just now and hid!
"Rarr!"
She let out a fierce bark, trying to frighten that vixen.
But there was still no movement at all.
The little one fiddled with curiosity.
Such a tiny block, how did they fit a fox inside?!
Just as Zhi Yao was bewildered, rows of words suddenly appeared on the phone screen.
[TastyBunsSoYummy: Brother is so handsome I'm crying wuwuwuwu...... Brother when will you film a new drama?]
Brother?
Where was there a brother?
Zhi Yao grew more and more confused.
Then she saw even more of such texts.
[CherryNoDumplings: Seeing as Brother Yao hasn't updated his blog in 800 years, I've decided to post some pictures I've been hoarding for 800 years for my sister fans to feast their eyes on. Pic.jpg]
Zhi Yao's golden eyes flew wide open.
What what what was she seeing?!
Pei Chiyao with his shirt half unbuttoned?!
She immediately raised her paw to cover her eyes. "Pei Chiyao, don't you know shame?!"
After the little fox finished speaking, she still didn't hear Pei Chiyao's reply for a long while.
She secretly uncovered her eyes again, only to realize the Pei Chiyao in the phone hadn't moved one bit.
She understood instantly. That just now was a photo.
Not the real Pei Chiyao.
She discovered many more of Pei Chiyao's photos among these words too.
How strange...
Who were they? Why did they have so many of Pei Chiyao's photos?
And they called him Brother? God Yao?
Could it be...Pei Chiyao had this many younger sisters?!
She grew more and more baffled.
Right as Zhi Yao was distracted, her fur accidentally brushed the [+] button above the microblog.
In her panic, she suddenly realized — the fox reappeared?!
"Rarrr!"
She fiercely roared at the phone screen. "Who are you?! Pei Chiyao is mine. Get out of there!"
She arched her back, baring her teeth menacingly at the phone. But the more Zhi Yao stared, the more she felt something was off.
This fox...looked so much like herself!
And...it also wouldn't move.
Suddenly...a bold notion took form in Zhi Yao's mind.
She raised her paw and batted the phone, knocking it to the floor.
Without a sound.
She jumped down swiftly, flipping the phone's screen over.
Squinting for a closer look — the fox was just the same fox, not shifting one tiny bit.
Could this...also be a photo?
In her contemplation, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Zhi Yao was badly startled, inexplicably feeling a guilty conscience like she had committed some misdeed.
When Pei Chiyao entered, what he saw was Zhi Yao with a tense, fearful look on her face.
She sat smack on his cell phone.
