"......Then give me a kiss."
Upon hearing what Yan Zhao mumbled in her sleep, the little fox's ears turned hot. If it weren't for its understanding of Yan Zhao's personality, it would truly believe she was pretending to be asleep.
But Yan Zhao was just a simple-minded little fool, incapable of scheming or pretending to trick it.
Since she was dreaming anyway, would it be fine to ignore her?
With this thought, the little fox lay down in place.
Not long after, the little bell rang again.
The little fox leaned its pointed snout closer to Yan Zhao and gently nudged her cheek.
In her sleep, Yan Zhao seemed to sense something, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Ding ding—
Suddenly, she rolled over, her arm reaching out to pull the little fox entirely into her embrace, half of it pinned beneath her body.
Yan Zhao held on too tightly, making it impossible for the little fox to move. If it tried to escape, the ringing of the bell would surely wake Yan Zhao, even if she hadn't been disturbed yet.
The last time it had slept like this in Yan Zhao's arms was over a year ago.
Unbeknownst to them, the fox, Snowball, had been apart from Yan Zhao for so long.
Ever since Yan Zhao began diligently training, she would meditate every night, and the habit of sleeping with the fox naturally fell by the wayside.
It seemed this situation wouldn't occur often, so it was best to just go with the flow.
Thinking this, the little fox carefully adjusted its sleeping position in Yan Zhao's arms and closed its eyes.
The familiar scent enveloped it, bringing a sense of nostalgia. Drowsiness came swiftly, and soon it dozed off.
When Yan Zhao finally awoke, sunlight streamed into the room, illuminating the head of the bed and dazzling her eyes.
Before even opening her eyes, she felt a soft, furry bundle in her arms. She realized she had fallen asleep at some point, and her little obedient fox had voluntarily jumped into her embrace to keep her company while she slept.
How could she have doubted that the little fox would leave her? Even after a whole year apart, the little creature still clung to her.
Yan Zhao felt touched and happy, lowering her head to give it a few kisses.
The little fox stirred awake, opening its eyes just a crack. A face rapidly approaching became clear from a blur, and then a wet, soft touch brushed against its nose.
"!"
The fox froze.
After kissing, Yan Zhao withdrew and sat up, hearing the bell jingle as she leaned down to give the little bell on the fox's leg a gentle poke.
"You look so good with that bell on," Yan Zhao praised, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.
The little fox snapped back to reality, flustered, averting its gaze and noticing the string of little bells.
So embarrassing.
It shyly shrank its legs, preventing Yan Zhao from poking at it again.
Yan Zhao clicked her tongue. "See, you're already protective. This is a gift from me, so what's wrong with touching it?"
