Chapter 44
The originally tense atmosphere was completely defused by Zhi Yao's words.
The little girl was lying in Pei Chiyao's arms, wanting to fall asleep again, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
She was a bit grumpy after getting up, and immediately raised her head to look at Jiang Zhu.
However, Zhi Yao was stunned for a moment when she saw who it was, "Oh, it's you."
"Yo, you still remember me?" Seeing that the carrot head had just woken up, Jiang Zhu didn't dwell on her scolding him.
He wouldn't be petty with a little girl.
"Carrot head, do you want to come back with me?" Seeing Zhi Yao, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but tease her.
This little girl looked like a middle schooler, how could Pei Chiyao stoop so low.
Zhi Yao instantly sobered up and immediately tattled on Jiang Zhu, "Pei Chiyao, he scolded me! He said I was short and stupid!"
The angry little girl glared at Jiang Zhu. Before, when she was alone with him, Zhi Yao chose to keep quiet. After all, a good fox doesn't fight with a bad man. But now that she had a backer, it was different!
"Don't dwell on it. If a dog bites you, do you have to bite it back?" Pei Chiyao glanced indifferently at Jiang Zhu.
"He wouldn't stoop to quibbling with a child."
"If you don't let go of the elevator door, tomorrow you'll see yourself being dragged out by security guards trending on social media."
Pei Chiyao's patience had run out.
He didn't have time to waste here with Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu also knew that Pei Chiyao never joked around, and his expression was indeed getting uglier.
If Pei Chiyao got serious... he wasn't ready yet.
Jiang Zhu moved away and opened the door, "Pei Chiyao, let me remind you, I've got this year's Best Actor award in the bag."
Pei Chiyao didn't even look at Jiang Zhu as he strode out.
Zhi Yao made a face at Jiang Zhu, shaking her legs as Pei Chiyao held her, the provocative meaning very familiar.
Just as Pei Chiyao's figure was about to leave, a fox suddenly rushed out from somewhere.
Zhi Yao's eyes widened and she quickly said, "Pei Chiyao wait! Put me down!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Chiyao looked back.
But he saw that Jiang Zhu was suddenly accompanied by someone, holding a fox's leash.
As she had asked, he put Zhi Yao down, and she immediately ran over, "Little fox! We meet again!"
This fox was the one she had saved before.
But... wasn't this fox adopted by Pei Ning?
Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows at the girl who had come and gone, and said, "You know my Iron Post?"
Iron Post?!
Zhi Yao almost spit out her drink. She was a girl! How could she be called such an ugly name?
Seeing Zhi Yao, the little white fox was also very happy. To her, Zhi Yao was like an ancestral fox!
The little white fox kept pouncing on Zhi Yao, occasionally burying her head on Zhi Yao's knees.
Seeing the fox's actions, Pei Chiyao's expression instantly darkened, "Yao Yao, come back!"
Zhi Yao waved her hand, "Wait for me, please!"
"Little fox, how did you end up with this bad man? Where's Sister Ning Ning?"
"Woof woof woof!" The little fox tilted her head, making sounds humans couldn't understand.
Zhi Yao nodded, "I see, I thought Sister Ning Ning was so unreliable to give you to this person!"
"Woof woof woof!"
Reluctantly, Zhi Yao rubbed the little fox's head, "Little fox, I have to go! Come find me at my house next time, bye!"
Jiang Zhu watched the two communicate seamlessly, completely dumbfounded, "Wait! You understand what she's saying?!"
Zhi Yao nodded, then quickly shook her head, realizing something was wrong, "No no no, I'm just joking, joking."
Her guilty expression made it obvious she was lying.
"I won't ask how you understand fox language, but can you ask why she doesn't eat the food I buy her?"
He was so worried, Pei Ning was his neighbor and they had a good relationship. This time Pei Ning went abroad for a fashion design competition and asked him to pet-sit the fox, but he had never raised one before.
The most knowledgeable about raising foxes here should be Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao stood five meters away, silently watching. He was allergic to other pets and couldn't go over.
Zhi Yao acted as translator. Learning that Jiang Zhu had only been feeding the little fox fox food every day, she instantly showed an "I knew you were a bad person" expression.
"How can you feed our little fox such unpalatable food!" Zhi Yao said incredulously. "We foxes are carnivores! We eat meat!"
The fox on the ground nodded in deep agreement.
Jiang Zhu: "..."
"Wait, you foxes?" He looked at Zhi Yao in astonishment.
Zhi Yao nodded, "That's right, we foxes, of course!"
Realizing she had messed up, she hurriedly covered for herself, "I mean, I'm playing a little fox now! So I'm a fox too."
Jiang Zhu: "Then tell me, what meat do you eat?"
"Fried chicken, milk tea, braised chicken stewed with potatoes! Steak is good too!"
Zhi Yao rapidly reported a bunch of dish names, leaving Jiang Zhu completely dumbfounded.
Until the fox tugged at her pants leg helplessly, Zhi Yao realized, "Oh right, you're a fox pup, you can't eat this stuff yet."
The little girl had already forgotten what she ate as a fox pup.
She racked her brains for a good while, until the fox babbled again, before she nodded, "She says she likes to eat meat, raw meat, doesn't like canned food or fox feed, see if you can get her some."
The little fox nodded emphatically on the ground.
After speaking, Zhi Yao looked towards Pei Chiyao, feeling like he had almost waited impatiently.
She hurriedly bid the little fox farewell, "Fox pup, I'm going, I'll come see you next time, bye!"
After speaking, she immediately rushed towards Pei Chiyao, and was about to lift her arms to hug him when Pei Chiyao retreated several steps.
Zhi Yao: "!?"
"You have fur, you can hug after showering at home."
Zhi Yao: "QAQ!"
She didn't want to walk by herself!
But Pei Chiyao was allergic, so she didn't dare take the risk.
The little girl reluctantly followed behind Pei Chiyao, not even holding his hand.
Not until they returned home and Zhi Yao had washed herself clean, was she finally allowed to touch Pei Chiyao.
At that time, Pei Chiyao was reading a book.
When the little girl came out, her hair was still dripping with water.
