Warm Fuzzies

Chapter 17: XVII

Xueli hung her tail, as if she was still worried. In Zilan's opinion, the little fox was so small and looked a little pitiful.

He tried to comfort her clumsily: "Don't be sad, I didn't mean to not eat. I'll help you clean up the soy sauce in the room later."

The sound Zi Lan made was much softer than usual, revealing a sense of nervousness, which was inconsistent with his huge body. He sounded a bit like a big dog at a loss.

He leaned over, took a small bite of the remaining fruit on the plate, and swallowed it.

He said, "You see, even without the rabbits, the fruit is still delicious."

Xueli blinked as she watched Zilan suddenly eat the remaining fruit.

Xue Li could see that the big snow wolf was concerned about her.

She was not really unhappy, she was just frightened by the little gray rabbit's unexpected action of rushing out. Now, she was surprised to see the big snow wolf so worried about her.

Xue Li quickly pricked up her ears, which she had just forgotten to recover, to indicate that she was in a good mood.

She said cheerfully, "I'm fine! But I have to go out and play with my friends this afternoon, so I won't be back to clean up these soy sauces until the evening! You can stay at home first, or walk around nearby!"

Because the Snow Wolf passed everyone's test, Xue Li unconsciously expanded his range of activities slightly and trusted him more in her heart.

There was still the sweet taste of fruit in Zi Lan's mouth. He finally felt relieved when he saw the little fox regain its spirit after his comfort.

Because Xue Li still had to meet the little animals, after she told the big snow wolf about her itinerary, she saw that his expression relaxed a little, probably he was no longer worried, so she waved her tail to say goodbye to him.

Zi Lan watched the little nine-tailed fox waving its tail at him, then ran out skipping and jumping as usual.

But after Xue Li left, Zi Lan lowered his head and stared blankly at the place where the plate and the rabbit had been placed before, and a trace of confusion emerged in his mind.

Although the rabbit ran away, why on earth... was she so nice to him

This question made him confused for a moment.

He hurriedly calmed down and didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he hurriedly walked around the room a few times and finally found a suitable rag on the cabinet.

He now lives with the little nine-tailed fox, and he has already troubled the little nine-tailed fox to take the trouble to treat his injuries and cook food for him, so he shouldn't do nothing. Although Zi Lan's injuries have not yet healed, he also feels that he should do what he can to jointly maintain the living environment for the two of them.

He took off the rag, pressed it under his paws, and carefully wiped off the soy sauce that remained on the ground.

The soy sauce is harder to wipe off than I thought. When the little rabbit ran away, it left a long trail and many small plum blossoms.

Zi Lan had never done anything like this in the Ninth Heaven, so it was inevitable that he was a little awkward, but this fairyland was so primitive that he had to do everything by himself.

He changed the water three times and washed the rag several times before he could barely wipe off all the soy sauce with his wolf claws.

After the work was over, Zi Lan looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

The ground was so smooth that you could even see the shadow of a wolf on it.

After Zi Lan mopped the floor, he washed the rag and put it back in its place, then walked around the house to see if there was anything else he could do.

He was injured at the moment, and there was very little he could do, but he still hoped that Xue Li would be happy.

As Zi Lan walked, he saw a wooden box in the house with a lid that was not very tightly closed.

He simply walked over, took a look inside, and then froze.

I saw a lot of white, tender and plump radishes in the box.

The box was very large and was actually full at first, but after Sydney's persistent feeding over this period of time, the carrots were almost empty.

When Zi Lan saw these radishes, he was stunned at first.

Of course he knew that the missing radishes were probably the ones that Xueli gave him to eat every day, but he didn't expect that after Xueli gave him all her beloved radishes, there were only a few left.

He felt mixed emotions, but then his eyes lit up!

Zi Lan has always felt guilty for eating so many radishes as Xue Li did, and had been thinking about finding a chance to repay her, and now is the time.

They now live together as two people, and he can't always just eat the food left by Xue Li. He should find food for both of them.

Xue Li likes radishes so much, she will be very happy if she sees him bringing back radishes!

Zi Lan was excited and immediately turned around and left the cabin and walked into the forest.

When Zi Lan was still in the forest, he noticed that there were a lot of wild radishes growing in this fairyland.

He walked towards the place where he had passed by before and found many radishes growing, and soon he found many beautiful wild radishes.

Zi Lan picked and chose, and finally found one that satisfied him. He went over and carefully dug up the soil with his claws, then dug it out intact.

Then he looked around and walked to the next one...

“Ouch!!”

At this time, the little animals in the forest are cheering happily!

Their plan succeeded!

Xueli was the happiest among them. She jumped around with her nine tails, like a lively little white ball with a tail.

The big snow wolf not only didn't eat the meat himself, but also stopped Xueli from biting it! In the future, even if they meet him in the forest, they don't have to be afraid!

All the little animals pranced around with joy and were in high spirits, sharing the fruits they picked with each other as a celebration.

The little gray rabbit was embarrassed to be surrounded by everyone, and the soy sauce on his body had not been washed off. His sister was holding a piece of wet cotton cloth with her two little paws and rubbing it hard on the little gray rabbit.

The little gray rabbit was rubbed and turned slightly to the side, squinting his eyes, because he felt a little embarrassed that he had run away with the soy sauce halfway.

"You are already very capable!"

"I waited till the very end before I ran! I was completely motionless before that."

"If it were me, I would have trembled a long time ago."

Everyone praised it in unison.

The little rabbit sister stopped wiping it and clapped her hands to her brother in admiration, "Brother is awesome!"

The little gray rabbit has been praised several times since he came back, but hearing so much praise still made him scratch his ears shyly.

He said: "This can't be attributed to me alone. I was just lying on the plate. If it weren't for Xue Li's protection and protection, and not being too far away from me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Xueli was jumping up and down happily, but when she heard the little gray rabbit mention her, she unexpectedly raised her tail and looked over in confusion.

However, the other animals were already vying with each other to praise it.

"Yeah, Xueli is amazing too!"

"Most of the details were planned and arranged by Sydney herself!"

"The idea of plating was also Xueli's idea. She even helped drag the plate over! You have to get very close too."

Xue Li felt shy after being praised, as she felt that she had done nothing at all.

She shook her ears and said, "I'm not in any danger. The wolf won't eat me. The idea wasn't mine. It was Little White Rabbit who first proposed it."

As soon as Xue Li finished speaking, the little white rabbit who was wiping her brother was immediately held down and licked several times by the animals next to her.

However, although everyone worked together, everyone felt that it was Sydney who made the decisions and coordinated the entire process.

The white deer lowered its head and rubbed her, then asked, "When will the wolf's injury be completely healed?"

Xue Li thought for a moment and replied, "He is still in the recuperation period. He needs to be taken good care of. There is no rush. Besides, there is still a month of observation period. It will be completely confirmed after a month."

The white deer said, "In this month, let us help you find a cave suitable for the wolf to live in! This way, when the time is right, you can let him live there directly!"

Xueli said happily: "Oh! Thank you!"

After discussing everything, Xue Li played with the little animals for a while.

When she saw the sky, she said, "It's getting late. I haven't cleaned the floor yet. I'll go back first!"

"Be careful on the road!"

The little animals waved goodbye to Xue Li with their paws and tails.

Not long after, Xueli returned home with the fruit she was given.

But when she opened the door, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

The snow wolf in the house disappeared, and it was not seen outside the house either, but the soy sauce on the floor had been wiped clean, and the house seemed even tidier than before.

Xue Li put down the fruit and looked around for where the Snow Wolf had gone.

Just then, she heard footsteps outside the house.

“Ouch—”

The voice of the Snow Wolf sounded behind him, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in it.

Xue Li turned around and saw the big snow wolf standing outside the house. There were two big baskets beside him for some reason, and he seemed to be in a better mood than usual.

Xue Li felt that the Snow Wolf seemed to be waiting for her to go out.

She tilted her head in confusion and ran out.

Zi Lan also calculated the time for Xue Li to return home. As soon as he came out of the forest, he saw Xue Li running into the house. He hurriedly chased after her, eager to let the little nine-tailed fox see the results of his labor.

When Xueli ran over, Zilan immediately and proudly turned over the basket and poured out everything inside.

Crash—

Crash—

Countless radishes rolled out of the basket, so many that they were like falling stars and landslides, too many to count, and piled up in front of Xue Li in one go.

Each of these radishes is fresh and tender.

Zi Lan wanted the little nine-tailed fox to eat the best radishes, so she picked them very carefully.

Don’t choose those that are too small or too big. Only choose the radishes that are the most lively and the most beautiful in shape.

He dug for most of the day and finally dug out such a pile. Because he couldn't carry it all in, he made two trips back and forth to get a basket.

Zi Lan said, "These are for you. I'm sorry I ate so many of your favorite radishes. You can save them for now and eat them slowly. I'll dig more for you in a couple of days."

"Ah, ah..."

Xueli couldn't even speak.

Xue Li looked at the radishes piled up like a hill in front of her. The number was vaguely much more than before she fed the radishes to the wolf. A layer of mist gradually appeared in her eyes.

Zi Lan was looking at Xue Li proudly, but she didn't expect that the little nine-tailed fox's eyes suddenly became moist and it looked like it was about to cry.

The little nine-tailed fox was so moved that he cried!

Zi Lan couldn't help but panic.

He wanted to make the little fox happy, but he didn't want to move her to tears.

Zi Lan was at a loss as to what to do and comforted him: "You don't have to be so touched. They are just a few radishes. If you want to eat them, I will go dig them for you tomorrow."

However, Zi Lan's words had no effect and Xue Li couldn't understand them.

She looked at the pile of radishes in front of her and felt that she would never be able to finish them in her lifetime. Xueli couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
