Fox Has No Malicious Intent-Chapter 467 - 645: The Look Reserved for Delinquents
"Ah Qing, why are you still sleeping in? Didn’t you say you were visiting Aunt Lin?"
At exactly nine thirty-four in the morning, Yu Zhenghong came home carrying some treasured tea leaves and gift cakes, only to find Ah Qing still in her room, sleeping like a log.
But with Yu Zhenghong’s call, Ah Qing sprang out of bed like a carp leaping from water, full of terror, and punched the air in front of her with vicious force, her loose pajama sleeves flapping with the movement: "I’m a farmer, not a nurse from some scam hospital!"
"???
Yu Zhenghong was puzzled and looked at the springing Ah Qing, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Slowly waking up, Ah Qing came out of her nightmare, looked awkwardly at her father.
"Well... I watched a horror movie last night and couldn’t sleep. I just dreamed I got kidnapped by a bad guy."
Yu Zhenghong stared at his vigorous daughter, who looked capable of wrestling a tiger like Wu Song, and asked, "The horror movie you watched last night... was it a supernatural horror film?"
"Uh... it was an American slasher film."
"Then no worries, with that punch just now, the bad guy in the movie is in the ICU. Hurry and get ready to head over to Aunt Lin’s house, take the gifts over..." Yu Zhenghong comfortingly teased Ah Qing before turning to leave from her room door.
The bad guys in slasher films...
Yu Zhenghong thought if real bad guys were to capture Ah Qing, they’d be terrified, not knowing whether to call the police or consult a lawyer to see if a plea of self-defense could be made.
Ah Qing’s physique, built with three large bowls of rice per meal, was full of explosive power.
A single slap could be heard two streets over; catching a punch from Ah Qing without any warning, was inviting fate’s gamble.
Yu Zhenghong couldn’t comprehend why Ah Qing would have such a nightmare.
He was momentarily confused and couldn’t tell who was the good or bad guy in Ah Qing’s stories.
......
"Ah Qing, good morning~"
The little fox lying on the bed with its head on the pillow felt the bed shaking like an earthquake, opened its eyes, and greeted Ah Qing standing on the bed.
Then.
Ansheng jumped off the bed and leisurely made his way to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind him, squatting on the toilet like reversing into a parking spot, ready to relieve himself.
"The doctor said I’m too big, it’s not suitable to stand straight to pee, it’s easy to strain my back muscles..." The little fox muttered groggily, justifying why he was too lazy to transform into human form and could only squat to pee.
While the little fox was in the bathroom, Ah Qing was freshening up, washing her face in the bathroom on the second floor, and after finishing in the toilet, grabbed her toothbrush in the bathroom on the first floor to brush her teeth.
Once everything was ready, Ah Qing hesitated slightly before leaving the house, returned to her room, and took out some lipstick from the drawer to add some color to her complexion.
Any girl who loves beauty going out fully dressed would fall victim to the summer heat and humidity in Xia Dong.
Within three hours, her face would be drenched.
For girls from coastal areas, wearing BB cream, shaping eyebrows, and applying lipstick is already the greatest respect for the people they need to meet.
Aunt Lin gave Ah Qing the impression of a very serious and traditional lady with manners.
Visiting her home couldn’t be too casual.
"Huh? Ah Qing, your lipstick is crooked!" Ansheng climbed onto the wall, stuck a popsicle into the gaps of the red bricks, licking the green bean popsicle, and attempting to punish Ah Qing’s little cousin who wanted to pull his fur.
Ah Qing’s twin cousins were sitting on a small stool in the yard, eagerly watching the little fox.
The popsicle was borrowed from the Fu Family; the refrigerator at Ah Qing’s house didn’t have any, so the little cousin could only look on hungrily, unable to eat.
"Huh?"
Hearing the little fox’s whimper, Ah Qing was taken aback, touched her lips, "Is it... is it crooked?"
"Yes! The peak of the lips went a bit beyond the lines..."
The little fox’s friendly reminder reached Ah Qing as: ’Wow! Ah Qing, your lipstick is drifting!’
Ah Qing’s face fell at this achievement of visiting thrice without leaving the home.
Ah Qing set out once again, ensuring that everything was in order, before preparing to call her parents to go visit Aunt Lin’s house next door.
"There’s no point calling; I just saw Old Deng dragging your mom to find Old Chen, saying to find someone who can hold the scene. If you don’t return the message within five minutes, they’ll rush in."
Ansheng jumped off from the wall onto Ah Qing’s shoulder, speaking happily.
Even though, Old Deng’s actions were a bit excessive, Ansheng was rather amused by the whole situation.
Lin Ying wasn’t so frightening; she was quite nice, just prone to getting emotional, nothing else.
"Is that... necessary?"
Ah Qing was baffled; she’d met Aunt Lin before. She wasn’t as fearsome as Dad had made her out to be!
Ah Qing shook her head, picked up the gifts prepared by her dad, tea leaves, liquor, cigs, and pastry, and left the house.
Ansheng walked joyfully ahead, leading Ah Qing through the door designated for the Fu Family’s fox to enter the villa.
"Huh?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Witnessing the little fox approaching the door, tapping a knee-high screen with its mouth before the villa door swung open, Ah Qing’s eyes widened slightly.
Face recognition for a fox?
Aunt Lin actually gave the fox the house keys!
"Ah Qing, hurry up and follow~" Ansheng called out to Ah Qing from inside the door, signaling her to hurry over.
Ah Qing followed the steps of the little fox into the villa garden, where she saw a shimmering swimming pool, but upon closer inspection, she noticed fish swimming in it.
As Lin Shu was sweeping the fallen leaves in the garden, she was momentarily stunned upon seeing the Fu Family’s fox and Ah Qing.
"Fu... Fu Family’s fox?"
"Ying!" Ansheng greeted Lin Shu briefly, then pointed its snout towards Ah Qing.
"Hello, I’m Yu Xueqing from across the street. Previously, Xiaolan..." Ah Qing greeted Lin Shu, explaining her visit, but she had no contact details for Aunt Lin and could only show up unannounced.
"Oh!"
Lin Shu responded. Naturally, she recognized Ah Qing; they’d met before at Chang’an Airport, and she’d also encountered Ah Qing during her rounds around the villa previously.
"Come inside first! Coincidently, my lady has been on vacation the past few days and is staying in the villa all the while." Lin Shu smiled, inviting Ah Qing inside.
Because of Lin Zhe’s situation, currently, only Lin Shu and Lin Bingyun are at the villa; other servants were prematurely granted leave to go home for the holidays.
Lin Shu invited the Fu Family’s fox and Ah Qing inside, opened the refrigerator, and offered Ah Qing a chilled Coke and a bottle of mineral water.
"Why is there a flowerpot here?" Curious, Ah Qing looked toward the house’s living room, spotting an empty flowerpot, with some scattered soil on the floor.
"That...I have no idea." Lin Shu shook her head, expressing she didn’t know anything. Even though ten minutes ago, a tree indeed occupied the pot, why it vanished afterward, she declined involvement in the incident.
After all....
The little followers of the Fu Family’s fox were as free-spirited as it was.
Lin Shu notified Lin Bingyun in a text about the Fu Family’s fox leading Ah Qing to visit.
Upon receiving the message, Lin Ying, after a quick adjustment, emerged from the study on the second floor.
"Tap tap ...."
The stairs relayed uneven footsteps, Lin Ying appeared at the stairwell’s turn, followed by Lin Bingyun.
Ah Qing instinctively turned to look and immediately recognized Aunt Lin from a previous brief encounter.
However.
When Ah Qing saw Lin Ying, she paused, feeling her look containing a familiar vibe.
As if...
The mother’s scrutinizing gaze upon catching her exiting school, chatting excitedly with classmates on their way to extracurricular activities--that cautious eye towards "yellow-haired boys..."
Yellow-haired boys?
The phrase suddenly popped into Ah Qing’s thoughts.
But Ah Qing didn’t notice the odd expression on Lin Bingyun behind Lin Ying.
Behind the sofa, a tree seemed to be making a stealthy escape.
Visibly, both the tea tree and cockroaches expressed a human-like atmosphere of panic.
They clearly hadn’t anticipated Ah Qing’s presence here.
