Love-Struck Fox Spirit - Chapter 2

I felt it necessary to teach him some human etiquette.

“You mustn’t expose your belly to people so casually.”

I reprimanded him sternly. Jin Jiaxue, sitting across the table, scrunched up his nose in grievance:

“Not even to you?”

“To me…” I was heartbroken. “Not even to me!”

A fox who brings chaos to the country will be caught and roasted. You mustn’t seduce the Wise Ruler so recklessly!

I continued, slapping the table:

“And you mustn’t lick human hands at will.”

The fox said:

“Is licking the cheek not allowed either?”

I replied:

“No, it’s not allowed.”

The fox asked again:

“What about kisses? Fox Spirits don’t kiss, only humans do.” His eyes blinked innocently.

“Kisses are also…”

He sounded so reasonable that I hesitated, and the second half of my sentence never came out.

Turning my head, I saw Jin Jiaxue stand up, wagging his tail as he trotted across the table, pecking my cheek like a woodpecker.

…He’s just a fox. Why should a little fox need to understand human etiquette?

A little fox’s kisses are fragrant.

Beauty is a dangerous thing!

After being kissed into a daze, I lay on the bed and seriously reflected on myself. Next time, I really can’t let him get up from his seat so easily.

Once he gets within three steps of me, I’m bound to surrender.

Thinking of this, I suddenly turned over, deciding to resume what I had started and convene a family meeting.

I glanced over and saw the little fox sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, grooming his tail in the moonlight.

He was using the Cat Hair Comb I had bought especially for him, pressing down tufts of fox fur and stacking them neatly by his side.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, I suddenly didn’t feel like criticizing him anymore. My tone softened:

“…Do you really like your tail that much?”

He paused at my words, squinting his eyes and giving me a smile.

The tip of his tail curled with his smile, tickling my heart.

He said:

“For a Fox Spirit, if the tail looks good, the beloved will like it too, so it needs to be well cared for.”

After speaking, he withdrew his smile and looked at me silently with those same golden eyes, his tail thumping softly on the floor.

“Oh,” I said, “Have you been secretly dating a little fox outside?”
