Fox Has No Malicious Intent-Chapter 754 - 752: Enthusiastic Good Neighbors

"Smelly Xiaolan! Bad Xiaolan! This time, don't think you can get away with it by acting all cheeky!"

"It's only because Sister Lin and the others are here that I'm giving you face and not dealing with you. Wait till we get home, you'll see my size 38 slippers hitting your butt."

Ah Qing put her phone in her pocket, hugged the little fox in her arms, and began to complain about his mischievous behavior of running off with people.

"Whimper, whimper—"

Ansheng moaned comfortably, raised his head, and snuggled against Ah Qing's cheek. While snuggling, the entire fox shrank into a big mouse, and crawled up to sit on Ah Qing's shoulder, stretching across her neck.

"I told you acting cheeky wouldn't work." Ah Qing greeted Lin Ying with a nod, kept a straight face, and took the fox down from her shoulder.

Ah Qing seriously lifted the fox, which looked puzzled, with limbs and tail dangling, looking at Ah Qing and letting out a soft sound: "Whimper? Whimper, whimper..."

"Ah Qing, why do you look so serious? Surely, you wouldn't lack this trust, right?" Ansheng declared solemnly to Ah Qing, with a serious expression on his cheeks.

"I can tell just by shaking." Ah Qing swung her arm, and the fox's slender body swayed from side to side with the motion of her arm.

Ah Qing listened closely, didn't hear any carbonated drink sloshing, nor any burps from the fox, so she reluctantly showed a satisfied expression and put the fox back on her shoulder.

"You listened well this time. It's not because we can't afford to buy you cola, but where on earth would you find a fox drinking cola, let alone having it at regular intervals every day..."

Ah Qing glared at the little fox, rubbed his cheek, and praised him for not sneaking drinks while outside.

But come to think of it...

Following Sister Lin to attend the gathering, with the hotel's banquet hall bustling with people, there's little chance Xiaolan, who clings to the walls while walking because of his fear of people, would swipe canned drinks off the tables in the hall.

"Did Xiaolan get carsick and throw up in Sister Lin's car after taking two long-distance buses?"

Breathing in the scent of the fox twice, Ah Qing looked toward Lin Ying and asked with a hint of embarrassment. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"No..."

Lin Ying smiled gently and said in a relaxed tone, "The little fox was sleeping under the seat. When he woke up, he had a bewildered expression, eyes wide open, staring at the scenery moving outside, as if the whole fox was stunned."

".....At that time, the little fox and I were staring into each other's eyes, both dumbfounded, for quite a while."

Lin Ying spoke with amusement, vividly describing the humorous scene to Ah Qing, even capturing the facial expression of the little fox perfectly.

"The little fox didn't sleep well last night, kept trying to spin quickly and burrow into my arms, feeling a bit scared in the unfamiliar environment. It was only at noon, when we returned to Jiule City, that he regained his appetite a little."

Lin Ying leaned in closer, pointing to the dark circles appearing under her eyes.

"Apologize to Sister Lin, you naughty Xiaolan." Ah Qing glared at the little fox and said.

"That's not necessary, sleeping with the little fox was quite a novel experience for me..."

Lin Ying waved her hand with a smile, indicating to Ah Qing not to be too harsh on the little fox, as we're all family here.

"By the way... Is that husky over there your new pet?"

After discussing the little fox, Lin Ying subtly changed the topic, hoping to draw Ah Qing's attention back to the little fox, rather than his influence on her.

Following Lin Ying's lead, Ah Qing shifted her focus back to the husky.

Even Ansheng, perched on her shoulder, looked at the husky, who was sleeping standing up on all fours.

"That husky..."

Ah Qing looked at the husky, her face showing a hint of pity and said: "It's..... not my little one I picked up, it belongs to someone. It's just that its owner went on a business trip last night."

"I was at the breakfast shop having breakfast, saw a lady taking it for a walk on her electric scooter. After breakfast, I saw a gentleman riding a mountain bike, running past me with it..."

Ah Qing sighed, expressing sympathy for the husky's situation.

Its owner went on a business trip but was worried about the dog being home alone.

So, he sent out a message in the neighborhood group, asking the neighbors to help out by occasionally checking in, to prevent the dog from tearing the house apart, especially their newly acquired redwood furniture.

That night, the neighborhood group was quiet.

Going by the husky's account, before dawn, a mom brought her kid over, using a temporary code to enter the house and took it out, sent the kid to tutoring class, and went grocery shopping at the market before bringing it back home.

The husky just lay down, when someone else came, a gentleman who took it for a walk in the park.

Starting from five-thirty in the morning till nine in the morning, the husky changed hands multiple times, accumulating over fifty kilometers of walking.

Among them, a lady was the most outrageous, keeping her electric scooter at a constant speed of 25 kilometers per hour, running for twenty kilometers.

Ah Qing rescued the husky, returning it only at ten in the morning when a college student dragged the half-dead husky around the street tea shop, stopping and starting.

"What a.....strange experience."

After listening to Ah Qing's story, Lin Ying was stunned, opening her mouth in disbelief, unable to imagine that the husky in the eco-friendly bag went through such an extraordinary experience.

Or perhaps... the entire neighborhood is quite peculiar.

It's a husky, even if selectively bred, losing some of the wild nature of purebred huskies, but they hail from sled dog lineage.

Being able to tire a husky out like this, their neighbors in the community really are...quite caring?

"Yep! If I hadn't kept it by my side, letting the uncles and aunties take it home, the husky might still not be at peace today....."

Ah Qing said, her face full of helplessness.

More running indeed exhausts the dog, but there needs to be moderation in the dog's exercise, as their cooling mainly depends on their tongue. If not cooled in time, they can be susceptible to overheating, and must be hydrated promptly.

"Unexpectedly, for the first time, I'm using 'hardy' to describe a living creature, and it's a husky."

"Running from five to nine o'clock, when the next time the Woofs have a triathlon competition, I'm voting for you." Ansheng marveled at the husky.

"If you're not convinced, some day I'll teach you how to sign your owner up for a marathon, and they'll know what it feels like to be doggedly determined."

"Sister Lin, let's go! My tea stall is not far from here; let's go have some tea together, thank you for taking care of Xiaolan last night....."

Ah Qing picked up the husky again, extending an invitation to Lin Ying, planning to have her over.

"Sounds good, though my visit is rushed, my friend brought me some local specialties as gifts; I've brought some for you to try, they're quite interesting." Lin Ying replied with a smile and linked arms with Ah Qing as they wandered along the riverbank.

But just then, an untimely phone ringtone disrupted the harmonious atmosphere just created.

Ah Qing paused, withdrew her arm, and reached into her jacket to retrieve her phone.

The caller ID showed [Sister Zhiyu].

"Huh? A call from Sister Zhiyu..." Ah Qing muttered and answered the phone.

"Whoa—"

"Ah Qing, where are you? The World Record Committee's judge and award presenter are at the fishing spot, holding a golden fishing rod. They've flown in by helicopter and are calling your name!"

As soon as the call connected, Chen Zhiyu's excited and shocked shout came from the other end.

"Gold.....gold what?"

Ah Qing was taken aback, asking in complete confusion.

World records, aren't those just certificates?

How can there be a golden item involved?
