Chapter 720 Don't Sleep, Get Up and Party!
In a corner of the fox exhibit lay a pile of hay!
It resembled the spot in a farmhouse yard where hay is usually stacked.
Hidden beneath the hay was a simple little den made of wood, blending seamlessly into the surroundings.
All of the foxes, except for Sugar Pack, were huddled together in the den at this time, snuggling against each other for warmth.
The chubby Crown Prince lay on the very outside, facing up to the sky, seemingly in a deep sleep, his belly rising and falling with his breathing, drool faintly trickling from the corner of his mouth, his large tail draped over Youyou's legs.
Youyou herself looked quite cozy sleeping, her body lazily sprawled out like an orange baguette, turned away from the entrance of the den to avoid the sunlight on her face, her eyes squinted into a pleasing arc, appearing to be snickering as if she had dreamed something delightful.
Xiaoqiao was curled up into a fluffy ball, and even her sleeping posture was quite elegant.
Hearing the noise, one ear perked up in her sleep, and she opened one eye lazily, glancing over.
Seeing that it was Fang Ye, who was peering at her through the entrance with a smile, she snorted through her nose, seemingly uninterested in acknowledging him.
Haughtily, she turned her head slightly and buried her mouth in her fluffy tail, pretending to close her eyes to continue sleeping, but actually she was secretly peeking through a slit at him.
"Haha, you're all sleeping so soundly!"
"Xiaoqiao looks so well-behaved~"
"How did my Firefox end up here?"
"Tsk, this fluffy tail must feel so comfortable to bury one's face in!"
"Elegance never goes out of style!"
Fang Ye tugged on Crown Prince's tail, "Hey, porky, still asleep? What time is it? Sleeping all day from morning to night, then eat, and finally moving about a bit."
Having his tail pulled, Crown Prince opened his mouth in a daze and yawned deeply!
After the yawn, he rolled over in the den and continued sleeping.
"Porky, it's time to get up, get up! Stop sleeping, let's have some fun!"
Fang Ye's hands pressed on Crown Prince's plump tail, gently pinching it!
Crown Prince kept his eyes tightly shut, even making contented grunts, his mouth moving a bit, but absolutely refusing to get up.
The weather outside was so cold right now, the sun was not the least bit warm, and how comfortable it was to stay in the den sleeping! Moving about would only cool down the toasty den that had taken so long to warm up!
"Haha, the zookeeper sounds like a nagging mom! I just got a lecture from my mom earlier too!"
"Forget about the foxes, it's so cold that I don't even want to get out of bed to go to the bathroom!"
"Same world, same mom: my mom nags me countless times every day, telling me not to lay in bed, but snuggling in the blanket and reading novels or binge-watching is really awesome."
"Sleepy in spring, lethargic in summer, drowsy in autumn, and hibernate in winter!"
"Just let the child sleep if it wants! It's so cute."
Fang Ye scratched Crown Prince's belly, but no matter how he teased or persuaded him, Crown Prince refused to get up, even pressing his ears tightly against his head, as if he heard nothing, playing a performance of a pig not fearing scalding water!
Crown Prince had made up his mind to play dead like a lazy pig, and there was nothing one could do about it.
Fang Ye shook his head helplessly and then gently scratched Youyou's tail!
"Youyou, time to wake up! What are you dreaming about with that sneaky look? Did you secretly eat someone's hidden food?"
Youyou pulled her tail out of his hand and draped it over Xiaoqiao on the other side.
From a baguette form, she slowly stretched out her limbs, kicked Crown Prince with one foot, and lifted her head lazily to look at him.
Then she pushed up her belly, raising a paw towards the sky, and languidly stretched.
Next, her pink little tongue licked her front paw, and with a black gloved paw, she rubbed her fluffy cheeks, almost as if she was washing her face.
Fang Ye said with a laugh, "Up and about, eh?"
Not at all!
Youyou narrowed her eyes, yawned, and planned to continue sleeping.
"How can you sleep at this time? How can you sleep at your age?"
Caught by Fang Ye by her two silky long legs, she was dragged out of her nest. Annoyed, Youyou opened her mouth and gave him a fierce "awoo".
So annoying, I don't go to work, I don't go to school, why can't I sleep.
"Oh my, can't I even touch you now?"
Fang Ye chuckled evilly and vigorously ruffled Youyou, swinging her tail back and forth.
He then scratched her ears, placing his thumb on the inside of the triangular ear while his other fingers, like playing a harp, softly plucked and stroked.
Being the most sensitive part, Youyou's ears felt his pinching and kneading, and her eyes grew watery, her body soft and limp, her limbs curling up!
Softly and stickily she whimpered "yinying", as if to protest with a coquettish complaint.
Stop bullying me, I'll get up then!
"Zookeeper, what are you doing!!"
"Is this something I can watch?"
"Let go of that fox, let me do it!"
"Look how pitiful Little Joy looks."
"If I had such a cute and lovely fox, I wouldn't want to get up either!"
Fang Ye laughed and said, "Exactly, get up and stroll around, this isn't the north, it's not that cold outside.
All day without moving, and if you keep sleeping, you're going to become a fat fox prince! Then I'll send a fat photo of you to the group chat for everyone to see how chubby you've gotten."
Youyou tilted her head, her gaze puzzled: ?????
Although she didn't understand what Fang Ye was saying with such a giggling face, she felt that expression deserved a beating, not something good, making the fox really want to bite him!
Sugar Pack, however, seemed very happy, going over to Youyou and "yinyinging" a couple of times.
As if saying, Sister Youyou, you finally got up, come play in the snow with me!
Playing with a companion is indeed more fun.
Like a spirited orange-red macaque kiwi, it joyfully dashed through the snow, leaving behind a trail of footprints.
In the blink of an eye, it had run to the other end of the playground and disappeared behind a bush.
Then it came out from behind a tree and sat neatly in the snow, swinging its fluffy tail, expectantly looking at Youyou.
"Yinying~"
Youyou stepped on the soft maple leaves and the cool snow, dawdling a few steps, as the remaining sleepiness gradually faded and vitality streamed through her body.
She looked around, then lowered her head and sniffed.
The outside scenery was indeed nice!
Now that she'd been forcefully disturbed and couldn't sleep, she might as well move around a bit.
She started chasing and running after Sugar Pack, trying to bite Sugar Pack's tail.
Youyou got active (pulled out), and Xiaoqiao's head also peeked out of the nest, her paw resting on the entrance, watching the two frolic.
Turning his head back, Fang Ye saw Xiaoqiao's head sticking out, and he said with a grin, "I didn't even call you, and you woke up, good for you!"
He reached out, ready to pet!
But Xiaoqiao didn't like being touched, and seeing Fang Ye reach out, she immediately looked over warily, retracting her head back in.
She glared at him and even opened her mouth, emitting an unhappy and deterring "yinying".
