So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 27
I slept until I naturally woke up. Le Xiaoyao stretched a big yawn, sat up, rubbed her eyes, and then remembered she had slept at Fu Jin’s house last night. She didn’t know when she fell asleep last night, it must have been very late…
Le Xiaoyao looked down and saw she was bundled up in the quilt like a braised pork roll. Her sleeping posture was truly not commendable. She hastily looked at the other side of the bed. Fu Jin was already up, and the bedsheet was perfectly flat, without any trace of being slept in. Le Xiaoyao panicked again. Did she fight for the quilt with Fu Jin last night? Was Fu Jin cold all night? It was really possible. Fu Jin was not Huang Chenchen, who would punch and kick her and take the quilt back! Even if she was cold, she would probably endure it, right?
When Le Xiaoyao saw Fu Jin, she was not sickly with a runny nose as she had imagined. Instead, she looked energetic, watering flowers on the balcony.
The weather was great today. Sunlight poured into the room, a touch of warmth in winter. Fu Jin was standing against the light, slightly sideways. The sunlight plated a layer of gold on the outline of her side profile, from her forehead to her nose bridge to her lips, and her beautiful chin. She looked so serene and beautiful~
Le Xiaoyao, who had just woken up, felt like she was in a dream, but she told herself this was not a dream. The hand that held hers last night, that slightly cool hand, fair and slender, now seemed to glow in the sunlight…
“You’re awake?” Fu Jin came in from the balcony. Her hair was slightly messy from the wind. The temperature outside was still very low, quite cold.
“Why are you going out to catch the wind again? You’re not well yet.”
Le Xiaoyao stepped forward, took the small watering can from her hand, and placed her hand on Fu Jin’s forehead. It seemed the fever was gone.
“I’m all better.”
It was the second time she had stayed overnight at someone else’s house, and Le Xiaoyao shamelessly slept until noon again. Luckily, this time it was really the weekend, unlike the last time when it was truly embarrassing. When it was mealtime, Fu Jin naturally picked up the phone to order takeout again. Le Xiaoyao stopped her, “Don’t order takeout. I’ll cook. Eating too much takeout isn’t good.”
There were still quite a few ingredients left from yesterday. Le Xiaoyao simply made two quick stir-fries and stewed a pot of soup. Honestly, this kind of life felt like an old married couple~
“Last night, did I fight you for the quilt? Were you cold?” Le Xiaoyao asked tentatively, poking the rice with her chopsticks, but not bringing it to her mouth.
“No.” Fu Jin lowered her head, picked up a piece of potato into her bowl, then looked up at Le Xiaoyao, “It was quite… warm.”
It was indeed very warm. She had never been so warm in all these years! Because no one had ever slept holding her like that, like a koala bear, clinging tightly, making it impossible to move. And Le Xiaoyao was practically a little stove. Why was she so warm?
Le Xiaoyao, a bit silly, breathed a sigh of relief, “Then… did I kick you with my leg?”
“No.” Fu Jin took a small bite of rice, thinking: You didn’t kick me, but you pinned me down.
“My sleeping posture isn’t too bad, is it?” Le Xiaoyao still asked persistently.
Fu Jin couldn’t help but recall the scene:
Last night, in the beginning, she was as well-behaved as could be, not moving an inch. But she didn’t know when her body slowly “wriggled” towards her, then a pair of hands “climbed” onto her waist, and then, she was inexplicably held tightly in her arms… What was even more excessive was… she even buried her head in her chest… occasionally rubbing against it!
At first, Fu Jin was not used to it, but feeling the warmth radiating from her body, she felt so comfortable and secure… When she woke up in the morning, Le Xiaoyao’s head was already buried in the crook of her neck, one arm hooked around her neck, sleeping like a baby…
For a moment, she thought, If every morning waking up was like this… Thinking of this, Fu Jin couldn’t help but curve her lips.
“What are you smiling at?” Le Xiaoyao was anxious, “Is it very bad? I… I didn’t bully you, did I?”
“No, you were very well-behaved.”
Le Xiaoyao really wanted to record this sentence and play it for Huang Chenchen. Why did that woman keep saying her sleeping posture was bad all day long? Fu Jin’s words could finally clear her name! “Then last night…”
Le Xiaoyao was a little curious. Why did Fu Jin know her birthday? And… holding hands, why did she hold her hand? Was it because she was cold? Hmm, it did feel a little cold.
“Hmm?”
“Last night… thank you for letting me stay here.” Le Xiaoyao ultimately did not ask the question.
Fu Jin indeed didn’t mention anything about Le Xiaoyao buying her medicine and cooking for her yesterday. She only said unceremoniously, “You’re welcome.”
But looking on the bright side, although Fu Jin didn’t express gratitude to her, she unexpectedly did her a huge favor. Le Xiaoyao had casually complained that her apartment was too noisy before, and Fu Jin unexpectedly paid attention. She said she happened to have a vacant room for rent, and Le Xiaoyao could move in within these two days. What was even more bizarre was that the key, which mysteriously disappeared last night, was quietly lying on the sofa today? Was she visually impaired yesterday?
When the weather is good, efficiency is high. The apartment matter was settled perfectly in less than half an afternoon. She paid the rent and deposit and could move in right away. Le Xiaoyao was overjoyed. She had always liked this apartment. The renovation style was great, and the key was that it was close to the company. Staying at Huang Chenchen’s place these past few days had almost exhausted her. So, she quickly contacted a moving company and could move in within these two days, never having to endure the annoyance of the “s3x maniacs” next door again…
Le Xiaoyao went to Huang Chenchen’s house first to pack some things before planning to return to her own place. Unexpectedly, Big Sister Huang was at home!
“When did you come back?”
Huang Chenchen lay softly on the sofa, feeling like her whole body was falling apart. Her voice was weak, “I came back at noon. You weren’t home, and I haven’t eaten anything yet…”
“If you haven’t eaten, why don’t you go buy something? Where have you been these past two days? Have you been with CEO Xu all the time? Why are you so tired?”
Tired, of course, she was tired! Since Huang Chenchen was lured into the hotel by Xu Xuan that night, it spiraled out of control~ That night was an accident. Just treat it as drunken s3x. And who doesn’t have physiological needs? Huang Chenchen kept comforting herself this way, and only then did she feel slightly better…
But that seductive devil Xu Xuan actually called her a “bottom for ten thousand years”? Someone who could never turn the tables! While insulting her, she kept taking off her clothes and seducing her. This wasn’t fair play… Huang Chenchen believed that it was still physiological needs at work. She didn’t believe there were many who could resist when it came down to it. Anyway, she had tangled with that seductive devil for a few rounds these past two days, and she hadn’t managed to turn the tables even once…
Huang Chenchen started to summarize her experience: This was because that seductive devil was gay, so she was experienced. A straight little person like herself naturally couldn’t compete with her. Yes, this was the key.
A call came in, and it was actually the station director! Huang Chenchen quickly cleared her throat, using a standard gentle female voice, speaking softly, “Hello? Director, how are you… Hmm, I know. I will definitely be at work on time tomorrow. Hmm… Okay, thank you very much.”
As soon as she hung up, a barrage of expletives filled the entire room, using a lion’s roar with ten levels of power.
Le Xiaoyao’s ears were ringing. Didn’t she get reinstated? She was still throwing a tantrum. Was she overly excited? “You can go back to work tomorrow? Congratulations! I told you CEO Xu wouldn’t be so heartless~ Just scaring you…”
Just then, Huang Chenchen received another text message, labeled “Seductive Devil.”
“Big Pineapple, you’ve performed well these past two days. I’ve reinstated you.”
Shame, shame, shame. This was simply an act of national betrayal!
Le Xiaoyao was still being a spoilsport, highly praising Xu Xuan, saying how wonderful she was… a super good boss…
What else could Huang Chenchen say? She knew exactly what kind of person Xu Xuan was. This was a history of bl00d and tears, trading her body and soul for reinstatement. What was there to be happy about! It was just physiological need, just physiological need! Absolutely nothing else!
Taking advantage of the moment, Le Xiaoyao also shared the news that she had found a place, making it a double celebration.
“Fu Jin? You’re moving to her place? Did you sleep with her!” Perhaps spending too much time with that seductive devil recently, Huang Chenchen’s words had become much sharper and were blurted out.
The sentence “Did you sleep with her” echoed in the room, loud and clear…
“What are you talking about?!” Le Xiaoyao held her forehead, three drops of cold sweat appearing. What was this all about? Did she have any shame? “She just happens to have a vacant room for rent. I’m not moving in with her, Big Sister. Are you silly? You’re so distracted.”
Huang Chenchen looked vacant, still lying on the sofa, butt sticking out, with an expression of utter despair, shaking her head vigorously, “Go away~ I need some alone time.”
This didn’t match Big Sister Huang’s usual style. When she was in a bad mood, she wouldn’t stop until she ate until her stomach burst, would she? Now, she was so depressed that she didn’t even have an appetite! It seemed CEO Xu had really subdued her…
“CEO Xu is truly amazing, incredible!” Le Xiaoyao couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, there is always someone who can conquer another.
Huang Chenchen sighed, “Your CEO Xu is not only amazing, she’s ruthless, truly ruthless… ruthless…”
Five o’clock, time to get off work again. Le Xiaoyao finished packing and just stepped out of the office when Zhou Yi blocked her at the door. Was he going to force overtime? No way, she had contacted the moving company to move today.
“Little Xiaoyao, how about dinner together tonight?”
Seeing the expression on Young Master Zhou’s face, which seemed to say “I’m going to scam you,” Le Xiaoyao had a bad feeling, “I can’t work overtime today, I have something else.”
“Not overtime, just dinner. I didn’t even get to celebrate your birthday with you last time.”
Oh, oh, oh, the way he said it, as if he used to celebrate every birthday with her. “I really don’t have time. I’ve contacted a moving company to move.”
“You still have to eat when you move, right? After dinner, I’ll help you move. Who needs a moving company~”
Le Xiaoyao was so startled by his fawning tone that she got goosebumps and asked, “Zhou Yi, is there something wrong with your head?”
He suddenly became affectionate, his eyes shining brightly, “Xiaoyao, I’ve been on so many blind dates over the years, and now I realize you’re actually quite good.”
