The little fox was lying on the bed, his face extremely pale, but he had already come to his senses.The drip was stuck on the back of his hand, and there was a bit of prickling pain, which made him look impatient.Seeing Huo Yuze walk in, a pair of lavender eyes burst into brilliance in an instant.
The man's complexion was not very good, he sat on the side of the bed, gently stroked the little fox's hand that hadn't been needled, and stared into the child's eyes, with a hint of distress and guilt.
"Feeling better?"
"En." Mo Xuan nodded, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's nothing." Huo Yuze forced a smile, and helped the child remove the strand of hair that rested on his lips from his forehead, "I don't eat well, I'm sick."
"Uh……"
Raising his hand threateningly, the man lightly patted the little fox on the cheek, "From now on, I will cook with you, if you continue to eat only meat and no vegetables, I will beat you hard. Do you hear me?"
"...Okay." The little fox was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
The man is very domineering, but the concern in his words is real.It's so rare and warm, the little fox really likes it very much.He secretly ridiculed in his heart that he was spineless and contented so easily.On the other hand, she still put her cheek in the palm of the man's hand caressing his hair, and closed her eyes meekly.
What the future looks like, the little fox can't draw a shape.But if he can live and get along with a man like this, probably, he will be satisfied.
Huo Yuze looked at the little fox with a satisfied face, and felt uncomfortable.The conversation Xia Cang had with him just now is still going around in his head...
"Do you usually arrange his three meals properly? Meat and vegetarian food?" Xia Cang asked after closing the door.
"Well, he's mostly cooking." The man frowned.
"What about your usual diet?"
"..." The man was silent for a moment, "He basically doesn't eat vegetables. Foxes like to eat meat, so I didn't really care."
"Mo Xuan suffers from mild anemia, and also suffers from long-term malnutrition." Xia Cang's face flashed with pity and helplessness, "It seems that he has been sleeping poorly for quite a long time. In addition, in the past two days, he has caught a little cold."
"..."
"You should pay more attention to his diet and living habits. Take care of him. If you have time, take him out to climb mountains and relax. It will be better for his health." Xia Cang explained carefully, "In addition, I think He seems to like to sleep on his stomach or curled up in a ball. If you have time, you can spend more time with him and help him change this habit slowly. Sleeping like this is not conducive to his blood circulation."
"Okay. I'll keep an eye on it."
"...Mr. Huo, you said Mo Xuan fell from the sky, didn't you?"
"Yes. How?"
"Then, do you know what Mo Xuan has experienced before?"
"Huh?" The man squinted his eyes slightly displeased.
"I don't want to inquire about anything." Xia Cang waved his hand, "Mo Xuan's mental state is not good, she has mild depression and autism. I want to ask to see if you know the reason."
"I don't know much about what happened before." Huo Yuze shook his head slightly, "However, it seems that they are all bad memories. He didn't want to mention them, so I didn't pursue them."
"This should be part of the reason. I think he likes you very much. If you spend more time with him, this will help him maintain a good mood and prevent it from getting worse." Xia Cang's face was rather solemn, "At Mo Xuan's age, having such a disease is mostly a shadow of his childhood, and his own personality should also tend to be overly sensitive. You should pay more attention to adjusting it."
Are you overly... sensitive?
The man couldn't help laughing when he thought of the little fox begging himself not to abandon him every day.
"You are his master, so you should take good care of him." Xia Cang thought of his little fox, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I will."
"Bang!" The door was pushed open vigorously and hit the wall, making a loud noise, interrupting Huo Yuze's memories.
Lin Long rushed to the little fox's bed excitedly, staring at the little fox up and down. His posture was like a wild wolf that had just come out of the mountain and had been hungry for many days saw its first prey.
After he had seen enough of Mo Xuan, it was as if he had just discovered Huo Yuze.Lin Long turned into a gentleman in an instant, and bowed gracefully: "Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Lin Long, the store manager of Earl D's Pet Shop."
The man nodded his head in understanding.Lin Long didn't mind either, and turned his head to stare at the little fox.
"Qiu, look at the earl, he has no image at all!" Xiao You, who was following behind, pulled Mu Qiu's clothes and looked at Lin Long who was lying beside the little fox's bed in a very speechless manner.
Mu Qiu also felt ashamed. Looking at Xia Cang who kept throwing his hygienic eyes at the ceiling, he stepped forward a few steps and pulled away the imageless Lin Long, "Can you pay attention to your image? I've seen a fox!"
"What do you know?!" Lin Long's eyes twitched, looking at Mu Qiu with naked and undisguised contempt, "This is a nine-tailed fox! Nine-tailed fox! Do you think you can see it every day? Yes?!"
"Mr. Huo." Automatically ignoring Mu Qiu and Xiaoyou's idiot-like eyes, Lin Long stopped laughing and said seriously, "Can I talk to you?"
Whatever you do today, you have to talk to me one by one.
Huo Yuze thought to himself, but still nodded politely.
"Master..." The little fox bit her lip, stared into Shui Lingling's eyes, and tightly grasped the corner of Huo Yuze's clothes.
"Good boy." The man lowered his head and kissed the child's head lightly, "Take a good rest, I'll be back to accompany you in a while, okay?"
The child could only nod obediently, and watched Huo Yuze and Lin Long walk out of the room one after another, feeling uneasy and flustered inexplicably in his heart.
Getting out of bed lightly, the little fox put his ears on the door, trying to listen to the sounds outside.My master and Lin Long didn't seem to be far away.The intermittent voice sounded very unclear, Mo Xuan held her breath, tried hard to distinguish each syllable, and pieced together a sentence——I hope, you can sell Mo Xuan to me.
It came from the voice of the earl of the pet shop named Lin Long.
"The nine-tailed fox is a treasure in the world, extremely hard to find. That's why I came all the way here. If you sell Mo Xuan to me, I can give him a good life and a good environment. Let alone what Mu Qiu said , You don't really like this little guy very much."
Lin Long's voice paused word by word, hitting Mo Xuan's eardrum like a hammer, and the pain pierced into his heart all the way.
"Mo Xuan is a person, not a commodity."
"But you know, he is different from ordinary people. Whatever conditions you want, you can ask for it. You can rest assured that I will not treat him badly. As long as he wants, I will give it to me. You can give it to him."
"If he wants your love, where is your heart?"
"As long as he needs it, I can give it."
"Why?" Huo Yuze frowned.
"You sell him to me, and I am his master." Lin Long paused, then smiled slightly, "As a master, he should take good care of his pet and not make him feel sad or sad. If my love can Give him the motivation and courage to live, and let him see his own value, why don't I give it to him?"
"..." The man was silent, he stared at Lin Long quietly for a moment, "I understand. I..."
"No!" The door was slammed open.With bare feet and red eyes, the little fox rushed out with disheveled hair, plunged into Huo Yuze's arms, hugged the man's waist tightly, and shouted hoarsely, "No! No! Don't sell me out! !"
"I……"
"I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen!" Shaking her head desperately, Mo Xuan panted heavily and hoarsely, not giving Huo Yuze a chance to speak, "You promised me, you said it! You said that as long as I You can stay as long as you want!"
"Don't sell me! You wouldn't do that, right? Master! Master, I don't want to go! I'm not a commodity, I'm not for trading, you can't sell me. You won't sell me, right? "
Huo Yuze pursed his lips, watching the little fox yelling at him with tears in his eyes, his face was calm without any waves.
How did Mo Xuan know that the man just wanted to wait for him to vent before speaking, he only felt that the man had already made up his mind to give up on him.The fingers holding the man's clothes were so hard that they turned white, as if if they loosened a little, the man would disappear.From his world, the smoke disappeared.
"I like you! Don't you know?!" The child could no longer yell, his hoarse voice whimpered, "You don't like me, so don't sell me! I just want to stay! Stay! Just come down and watch you! Don't sell me! Don't sell me, okay?"
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuze picked up the little fox and kissed his lips that were bloodless due to excessive tension. The muffled voice reached Mo Xuan's ears, but it was as warm as a spring breeze.
"You didn't wait for me to finish talking, so I'm getting nervous here. When did I say that I'm going to sell you." Patting the child on the back, the man comforted in a low voice, "I won't sell you, Good. I won't."
Huo Yuze gently kissed the child's cheek, forehead, and lips, repeating "I won't" in a low voice.
again and again.
"It seems that you have found your answer, Mr. Huo. If so, I won't bother you. Please take good care of him. There will be a period later." Lin Long watched the two kissing each other, smiled slightly, turned and left.
Hugging the little fox tightly, Huo Yuze sent Lin Long away from the corner of his eye, with a gentle smile on his lips.
Yes.you can give.I can do the same.
You are right, if you love him and love him, you can give him the motivation and courage to live, and let him see his own value, then there is nothing to be reluctant about.
I am his master, so naturally I can and should give him love and warmth.
or……
The man lowered his head to look at Mo Xuan, his two snow-white ears drooped on his brown hair, his long eyelashes covered his pair of lavender eyes that were always shining, and he leaned docilely in his arms, letting him There was a burst of soft-heartedness, wanting to take good care of him, guard him well, and block all the sadness and sorrow for him.
"Or..." Huo Yuze slightly tightened his arms around the little fox, "I can also give you my love, my heart."
