NOVEL NEXT 60: Little Thing
“This is a cat?”
“It’s a fox. Don’t listen to Qingheng’s nonsense.”
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Gu Yu’s eyes. After he asked his question doubtfully, Gu Mengyao immediately clarified for him.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingheng stood to the side with a face full of displeasure. As Gu Mengyao spoke, he couldn’t help but reach out to tease the little white fox.
When the little fox ignored him, Gu Qingheng’s downturned mouth could have hung a soy sauce bottle.
Though the little fox acted very affectionately toward Gu Mengyao, its attitude toward others was just so-so. When its eyes glanced toward Gu Yu, it even bared its teeth at him.
Seeing this, Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking this little fox must have gained spiritual awareness.
It even knew how to treat people differently.
“Where did you pick up this little fox? Although our home is at the foot of the mountain, there are newly buried traps all around the yard. If this fox had fallen into one, it probably would have lost its life.”
“It’s strange, this fox came directly through the front door.”
“Heh, so it has gained spiritual powers.”
As Gu Yu spoke, he gave the little fox a meaningful look. After making it tremble all over, he slowly moved his gaze away.
Having transmigrated from the modern world to ancient times, Gu Yu wouldn’t be surprised to see a fox that had gained spiritual awareness.
However, according to legends he’d heard before, fox spirits weren’t good creatures.
What if it transformed into human form and seduced Gu Mengyao in the future…
With this thought, Gu Yu sat down beside Gu Mengyao with a normal expression. After showing an interested look, he reached out and picked up the little fox by its hind legs, suspending it in mid-air.
Under Gu Mengyao’s gaze, the little fox didn’t dare reveal its true nature and could only put on a pitiful appearance, its eyes filled with tears.
Looking like a poor little thing, it was quite pitiful and endearing.
But Gu Yu had no time to show sympathy to a fox. First, he discreetly checked that it had no “little chicken,” then he put the fox down.
After regaining its freedom, the little fox immediately jumped into Gu Mengyao’s arms, burying its head against her chest, looking as if it had been bullied. This made Gu Mengyao stroke it a few more times.
Gu Yu took the opportunity to stroke it as well. The little fox’s fur was sleek and smooth, feeling quite nice.
Gu Qingheng, who had been watching from the side, also reached out to touch it all over. The fox’s fur was almost pulled out by him.
Finally, the suffering little fox reluctantly sat back on the bed. As soon as Gu Mengyao looked away, the little fox glared at Gu Yu with a vicious gaze, baring its teeth as if it wanted to bite him to death.
“Although this fox is cute, is it really good to keep such a thing at home?”
“I think the same, but Qingheng really likes it. He even insists on calling the fox a cat…”
“Even if he likes it, we can’t keep it. After all, it’s a wild animal. It would be bad if it suddenly became ferocious and hurt someone one day.”
Gu Yu let the little fox glare at him as he spoke righteously, without revealing his inner thoughts of wanting revenge. When Gu Mengyao heard his words, she also showed a helpless expression.
No wonder Gu Qingheng called the fox a cat… Gu Yu had originally thought his brother-in-law was blind.
When the little fox heard the hesitation in Gu Mengyao’s words, it immediately began squeaking anxiously. Then it bowed, shook its head, and wagged its tail, acting as if it absolutely had to stay. Seeing this, Gu Yu laughed inwardly.
Little thing, it couldn’t even speak, yet it dared to fight with him.
