Chapter 18: 18 You Enchanting Little Fairy!
"Let's take a look at the other foxes!"
Fang Ye put down Sugar Pack and headed to the corner, where Youyou, Xiaoqiao, and the Prince were still lying in the shade for their midday nap.
"Wow wow wow, there's a white fox here!"
"So beautiful!"
"I declare, starting today, I am a faithful fan of the white fox!"
"This white fox is not only beautiful but also has such a presence! It curls up and its sleeping pose is so elegant, that fat otaku next to it drooling can't compare at all!"
"Pfft, haha! Don't say, this chubby fox showing off its belly, sprawled out like that, really does look like a fat otaku lying at home, blowing the air conditioner, dreaming sweet dreams!"
"???? Fat otaku feels offended!"
"While you're all watching the fat otaku, I'll quietly take the white fox away!"
"No way, the white fox is mine!"
"Hmm, that little fox next to it, with its ears flapping, is also super cute, and since nobody is fighting over it, I'll just take this one away!"
"Wuu wuu wuu, poor fat otaku, all alone with no one to want it!"
"You wanna fight?!"
Laughing, Fang Ye introduced them one by one, "The chubbiest one is called the Prince, he loves to eat and sleep. Look how sweetly he's sleeping! That silver fox is named Xiaoqiao, may look pretty but has a temper, and is also grumpy when waking up…"
Someone's speaking ill of me?
Xiaoqiao reluctantly opened a slit through the eyelids, squinting and scanning the surroundings with a chilly gaze.
Seeing Fang Ye in front of her, she immediately revealed sharp teeth and glared fiercely.
Isn't this the lsp who took advantage of me last time?
Why is he here again, did he not touch enough yesterday, and he still wants to touch me today?
Right, were you the one talking bad about me just now! Huh?
Xiaoqiao's ferocious appearance even startled the netizens!
"It looks so fierce when it glares! Baring its teeth, murderous look, it really has a fiery temper!"
"The director said it has a bad temper, I didn't believe it, but now I've seen it first-hand!"
"Instantly went from an elegant sleeping beauty to a ferocious mother tiger, scared me to death! You really can't judge a character by appearance!"
"Mother tigers are not fierce at all! Look at the Amur tiger Jiaojiao, she's so affectionate with the director."
"I think it got mad because it heard the director speaking badly of it."
As soon as Xiaoqiao opened her eyes, Fang Ye quickly turned his head away, whistling and pretending to admire the scenery!
"Hmph?"
Xiaoqiao looked at him suspiciously, huffed, and turned her body away!
Angry!
Ignoring you.
"Haha, director, you're too funny!"
"A lesson in how actors are made!"
"Right, indeed every animal has its own personality, so we need to be more patient when dealing with them at work!" Fang Ye wasn't embarrassed and continued introducing the last one, "This one is named Youyou, also very cute! Just a bit shy around people!"
With a reach of his hand, he grabbed the nape of Youyou's neck and lifted her up.
Youyou dangled her four weak claws, not daring to move, blinking her watery eyes, looking pitiful.
"Wow, this fox is also so beautiful, it has a soft and cute vibe!"
"The fox in black stockings, love it!"
"So cute yet so pitiable, really want to hold and bully it a bit!"
"Haha, feels like I could take a screenshot and make an emoticon pack: 'Life, that's me!'"
"Upstairs is truly talented!"
Fang Ye gently scratched Youyou's cheek with his finger and said to the viewers, "Did you all notice? Look at my hand, I just gave it a little hug, and several strands of fur are already sticking to it. This is because they're currently shedding! So, one of the main tasks today is to comb the fur of the red fox, and also give it a bath!
It'll make them more comfortable and healthier during the shedding period."
"No wonder the fur of Sugar Pack doesn't look particularly shiny. I thought it had been rolling on the ground too much, or it might be a matter of poor diet."
"Other foxes are easy to deal with, but what about the one with the fierce temper? It won't even let us touch it, will it agree to a bath?"
Fang Ye laughed, "It's going to be difficult, but it's not impossible. We'll leave Xiaoqiao for last!"
Sitting down with Youyou in his arms, he took out a comb he had prepared in advance: "Some of my friends here may also have pet cats. Look, for combing the fur of animals like foxes and cats, I prefer this type of rubber-toothed soft comb over the usual sharp-toothed rakes. It won't make them uncomfortable as it glides over their skin."
As he spoke, he carefully controlled his strength, slowly brushing from the top of Youyou's head down, combing through its beautiful orange-red fur.
Youyou was a bit stiff at first, but as Fang Ye combed gently, it gradually relaxed, squinting its eyes and sticking out its little pink tongue, looking very content.
When the comb reached the sensitive base of its tail, suddenly, its body shook involuntarily.
Turning its head to look at Fang Ye, it let out a soft, melting "yip," its eyes sultry and silky, hard to tell if it was pleasure or a mild protest.
The viewers in the live stream were posting question marks one after another.
"?????"
"Zookeeper, you're being weird!"
"Is it just me, or did that sound wrong?"
"I'm pure, typing with my tongue to prove my innocence!"
"I'm an lsp, no, I mean I'm an old bathhouse scrubber now, zookeeper let go of that fox, let me do it!"
"No wonder there's a term like 'vixen,' the fox really isn't wronged!"
Fang Ye clicked his tongue in wonder, "Wow, just one comb through and so much fur came off!"
He then called out to Ho, who was watching from the side, "Come and help! Take care of Prince and Sugar Pack!"
"Eh? Okay!"
So Ho picked up the rotund Prince as if lifting a giant watermelon.
Prince, being combed and woken from his sweet dreams, was initially a bit reluctant!
He kicked his hind legs and grumbled to express his protest.
But as soon as Ho brought over some treats, he immediately put on a shy face, wagging his tail and no longer resisting being combed.
Sugar Pack, while being combed, wagged her white-tipped tail cheerfully, making joyous sounds: "Awu, awu!"
This little guy was the most cooperative and the least worry of all.
After the combing, they applied animal-specific antibacterial body wash and rinsed it off with warm water.
Finally, they carefully dried them with a towel until their fur was completely dry.
The few foxes that had been washed obviously looked much fresher than before!
Only the aloof Xiaoqiao was left, who showed a fierce expression whenever Fang Ye attempted to hold her.
"Use food to lure her?"
"That might work wonders for the glutton Prince, but not necessarily for Xiaoqiao!"
"We'll have to go with force! One person holds her down, another washes her!"
"My cat is also very uncooperative during baths, needing to be held down! She runs as soon as you let go!"
"As far as I know, foxes have scent glands! Like ferrets, when they feel threatened, they can pass gas to protect themselves! If we force her, the scene might turn dreadful!"
"Nonsense, a beautiful girl like her wouldn't pass gas!"
The viewers were all guessing what Fang Ye would do to deal with the standoffish Xiaoqiao.
"Use force? Not an option! Today I'm going to show everyone a trick for improving friendships with animals!"
Fang Ye smiled slightly and then suddenly started to sing in an exaggerated manner!
"Xiaoqiao, your silver fur, as lustrous as the moon~"
The viewers were dumbfounded!
