Xiao’an is only a little over ten months old—he’s still a minor. Baidu says his species usually fully mature at one year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s perfectly normal for him to unconsciously suckle or knead like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s major was agriculture; though she’d always gotten along well with animals, her knowledge of foxes came entirely from Baidu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red foxes live 12 to 15 years; they begin entering maturity around ten months, and take about twelve months to fully grow out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arctic foxes have shorter lifespans and reach maturity earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Xiao’an really dreaming of nursing?” Mo Yiqing looked skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he’s dreaming of ice cola? Anyway, I don’t recommend you poke his mouth, because—” Yu Xueqing rubbed her face, lathering in facial cleanser, then turned to head back to the bathroom to rinse off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked, she warned them not to be tempted to poke the little fox’s tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Yu Xueqing was speaking, Mo Yiqing couldn’t resist her curiosity—she extended her arm. The little fox, sensing something approaching, drowsily reached out two paws, wrapped them around it, and began gently nibbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after chewing twice, the little fox froze, snapping awake and opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the pale arm wrapped around him—and Mo Yiqing’s face, right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—pfft—bleh! Eww!” An Sheng leapt straight up, mouth wide open, his tiny tongue sticking out as he frantically spat saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because Xiao’an has a bit of a cleanliness obsession—I once poked his mouth while he was asleep. When he woke up, he sprayed me full of spit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He only uses the bite-hand gesture when he’s especially excited or happy,” Yu Xueqing said slowly, her voice finally reaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly awakened little fox stared blankly at the three crouched beside the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing! Next time, tell us about important stuff right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing, still spattered with spit, turned to Yu Xueqing, then looked at the bewildered little fox and gave him a thumbs-up, face dark with exasperation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fox Hero, impressive spit—very even.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing muttered, wiped her cheek, and brushed off the spit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“. That’s a terrible pun—you nearly gave An some heart failure. I thought a Cantonese double-bun spirit had crawled into my mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on An Sheng’s human experience, if he ever felt something strange suddenly appear in his mouth or ears while sleeping, nine times out of ten it was a cockroach, and even less likely a spider or fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During business trips in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang, An Sheng unconsciously developed a good habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you feel something strange while sleeping, spit it out—never swallow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-buns, jumping spiders, flies—fine, swallowing them is just gross. But if you swallow a bedbug or a stink bug, you’re done for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmmmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing, what did the little fox say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s calling you a bad person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t say it—he’s got a long memory,” Xing Ren said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three, having already finished washing up, were forced to return to the bathroom and wash their faces again after being sprayed by their spit-hurling fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing said: “Xiao’an, come over now you’re awake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm,” An Sheng yawned, leapt onto the sink, and sat on the towel Yu Xueqing had laid out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah~” Yu Xueqing opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~” An Sheng opened his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing took a disposable toothbrush, dampened it, and brushed inside the little fox’s mouth, then laid him down and used scissors to trim the fur between his toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing his daily care, Yu Xueqing stepped out of the bathroom and shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taking care of a pet is so tedious!” Tang You remarked, watching what Yu Xueqing had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t need brushing before, but since Xiao’an got hooked on cola, I feel if I don’t brush his teeth, they’ll rot right out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing looked at the closed bathroom door and the faint whimpers coming from inside, her expression resigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how he got so addicted to sugary drinks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When An Sheng emerged from the bathroom, Tang You and Xing Ren stared at him in astonishment, their eyes fixed on the toilet tank still refilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at? Don’t you flush after using the toilet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng rubbed his front paws on the carpet, wiping off the water from washing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his paw pads were dry, he climbed onto Yu Xueqing’s shoulder and beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While you were asleep last night, An has already defeated all the neighborhood bosses and cleared every obstacle you might encounter on your outing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say my name—you’ll get through anywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Did Xiao’an make new friends?” Yu Xueqing thought back to how, last night, after sneaking out, the little fox had been locked out, helplessly pounding on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel room doors required a key card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, the little fox had tried opening the door himself to go out, but couldn’t get back in—frantically pounding on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yu Xueqing opened the door, she saw him sitting outside, paws pounding the door—clearly terrified by last night’s tomb collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you insist on calling them friends, well… I did meet some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But last night’s friends weren’t happy at all—they looked like they’d suffered family ruin, divorce, and total disaster,” An Sheng nodded seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That makes sense—last night’s collapse must’ve badly affected your fox friends’ homes. Maybe their dens collapsed too,” Yu Xueqing nodded in agreement. “Since Xiao’an cares so much about his new friends, let’s skip breakfast and go check on the damage first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I wonder if we can even get in—it’s still an ancient tomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e0fe9718cf993f3ea2cb589040ddbbabbb3594fc83541a4139d94fd2fbfcc36f","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-307","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-305",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
