"Ah Qing! Ansheng is back from my trip!"

Ansheng walked out of the elevator, jogged lightly back to the dorm room, squatted at the door and knocked hard:

"Hurry up and open the door, it's chilly outside, I don't even have my shoes on...."

The little fox's cry echoed in the hallway at night, accompanied by the rustling sounds from inside the room.

"Cough, cough... Ah Qing is throwing up in the bathroom." With flushed cheeks and tears in her eyes, Tang You, who was coughing fiercely, opened the dormitory door barefoot.

As the dormitory door opened, a spectacular scene directly unfolded before Ansheng's eyes.

Lingren was hanging by the balcony, her vomit shooting outward like a projectile.

What seemed to be Ah Qing and Momo's rear ends were visible outside the bathroom door, occasionally accompanied by dry heaving sounds.

"?"

Squatting outside the dormitory, Ansheng glanced at the room number on the door plaque, a head full of question marks, looking towards Tang You:

"You guys... while I was away, did you secretly eat fungi and end up with food poisoning?"

Tang You slumped onto the sofa, grabbed the cup on the table, and gulped it down. After catching her breath, she said:

"It's worse than food poisoning, all because of the special local product sent by Momo's cousin, almost cost us our lives..."

Tang You smacked her lips, as if savoring the lingering disgusting taste, and offered the newly sipped [Fengxing Brand Milk Box] on the table.

"Ginger Scallion White Cut Chicken Milk · Cantonese Limited Edition..." Ansheng stepped forward and looked at the product name printed in black on white on the orange milk box, showing a shocked expression.

"It feels like there's a scallion growing in your mouth, twisting lustrously, exuding the stench of chicken, and when you burp, it carries a faint ginger flavor."

Tang You grimaced disgustedly, handed over the milk, and asked the little fox if he wanted to try it.

"No thanks, but the fox doesn't eat strange things..." Ansheng awkwardly declined, although from a curiosity standpoint, he actually wanted to give it a taste.

But considering this box of milk knocked out the entire dorm room, Ansheng felt it was better to let Momo take it home for the New Year!

"Ugh... feels like I drank a sip of oil." Lingren, looking distressed, dashed to the sink and rinsed her mouth furiously.

The milk was handed to her by Momo herself. Even knowing it might be overwhelmingly stimulating, Lingren still nostalgically drank two hundred milliliters of it, but couldn't swallow the last sip.

"Xiaolan!"

Ah Qing wiped her mouth, trotted out of the room, happily hugged Huhu, and rubbed her cheeks against Huhu.

"Mmm... this soft touch, indeed, only Huhu can feel this way."

Ah Qing sighed blissfully, rubbing vigorously, as if trying to make up for all the missed rubs of the day.

Though Huhu and Doggy are both canines, their touch is entirely different. Huhu is soft all over, with an indescribable aroma, perfectly reflecting the essence of "warm fragrance soft jade".

As for Doggy, even as big as a gas canister, you can feel they are hard all over.

Once you've tried Huhu, you can't go back.

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Ansheng, held in Ah Qing's arms, being rubbed upward, with both front limbs resting on Ah Qing's shoulders, said:

"Yeah... By the way, I also stopped by the ancestral home, supposedly to catch mice."

"But I didn't see any mice and secretly did something very over-the-top."

"Hm? Did you pee on my bed?"

Hearing the little fox speak human words, Ah Qing showed a puzzled look and asked the little fox.

"How could that happen! Do you think I'm some kind of teddy bear of a certain species? I just ran into Lin Ying, she gave me something very expensive, and I sneaked out an attic weapon as a return gift..."

Ansheng, a full-face of black lines, patted Ah Qing on the forehead with a paw, speaking about the spear tip.

"Oh... you mean the one with some round, golden spear tips."

Hearing this, Ah Qing recalled what Xiaolan was talking about.

That thing should be a souvenir brought by the second uncle during summer vacation when she was fifteen.

Ah Qing remembered the spear tip because it was sharp enough that when Uncle took it out of the bag, it even pierced through the box.

"Then... does Sister Lin like it?" Ah Qing asked the little fox.

"I think she might like it?" Ansheng thought and replied to Ah Qing.

After receiving her return gift, Lin Ying evidently showed a bright smile, fiercely absorbing her Yang Qi.

"As long as Sister Lin likes it... " Ah Qing heard this and showed a happy expression, saying with sighs: "Since Sister Lin gave us so much, if we never return the favor, I'd feel really guilty."

"You've done an excellent job, Xiaolan. Tomorrow morning, I'll add a lamb chop to your bowl!"

Ah Qing showed a relieved face. She naturally knew that the spear tip is Spiritual Particle Metal, because Xiaolan told her.

But compared to Sister Lin's offering to little fox... no, it should be called tribute to Master Fuli, Ah Qing really didn't know how to properly reciprocate.

Not to mention the little fox's watch, or the time she came to the house draped in several kilos of gold, it almost made Ah Qing scared witless.

That wasn't just gold, it was literally like the metal parts you see everywhere at a hardware store.

"Ah Qing... not angry?" Ansheng asked unexpectedly.

"Why would I be angry, at worst I'll call Second Uncle and openly apologize..." Ah Qing's eyes wandered as she said: "Second Uncle is in Imperial Capital, he couldn't possibly buy a ticket overnight to come and thrash me, right?"

"Second Uncle won't come home for New Year, we'll visit him early during the winter break to greet him..."

"Hmm... with Aunt there, I probably won't get beaten too badly."

Ah Qing nodded confidently as if trying to cheer herself up.

"If your uncle wants to beat you, when we pay the New Year's visit, let's offer him Ginger Scallion White Cut Chicken Milk to drink, two whole boxes of it!" Ansheng pointed with his paw at the milk boxes on the table: "We must include one box that's already been drunk, so we can save some money for ice packs at the hospital. Don't worry, I have medical insurance, and it covers my relatives..."

"So rude, darn Xiaolan!" Ah Qing protested and rubbed the little fox's belly, then she suddenly realized something:

"Wait? No way, you have health insurance?"

"That's right! I think I currently enjoy nine insurances and three funds, plus I still have an apartment in the Imperial Capital, but I've never had time to take possession. When we visit Second Uncle, you might as well take care of the house."

Ansheng showed a contemplative expression, speaking to Ah Qing.

"?"

Ah Qing showed an exaggerated expression of shock, looking at the boasting little fox. Even the just finished rinsing Momo, Tang You and Lingren looked out, their heads popping up writing an expression of disbelief

No way...

Where do you have a house?

"Stop looking at me like that, it's not a place Ansheng bought for himself, it's from a brother from the streets who gifted it to me, now probably has several months of unpaid property fees..."

Ansheng shrugged, the Fungal Parasitic Beast figure showing up without a word, offering a property for his use.

Ah Qing: "..."

Huhu... Huhu actually saved up enough to buy an apartment in Imperial Capital!
