Under the gaze of everyone in the restaurant, all the animals that escaped from the zoo were loaded onto the transport truck.
Only the zoo employees, sweating profusely, dialed their boss's phone number to explain the current situation.
They had run after lions, tigers, and leopards, but when they captured them, there were also an extra brown bear, a python, two penguins, and a rattlesnake.
The brown bear was understandable, but with two penguins, they really didn't know how to handle them.
"Since the situation is resolved, let's go back and rest! We'll head to the beach to watch fireworks after dinner."
Mo Yiqing stretched out long and lazily, then turned to Yu Xueqing and Qiu Lingling and said.
In the 38-degree afternoon, with neither desire nor passion, no one intended to go exploring in such high temperatures.
Yu Xueqing picked up the fox and got into Qiu Lingling's car, heading back to the Golden Bay Hotel.
After a while, Yin Pengfei clutched his still faintly aching waist as he emerged from the restroom.
He looked around in confusion, asking a store staff member about Mo Yiqing's whereabouts.
When he found out everyone had returned to the hotel, a look of apprehension appeared on Yin Pengfei's cheeks:
"This time... I underestimated that stupid Arctic Fox, which led to this mistake. A mere Arctic Fox, no one can stop me from pursuing Qingqing, including... myself!"
In the parking lot, a free-range lion-headed goose saw Yin Pengfei making a vow with clenched fists, feeling slightly puzzled. But remembering Boss Bai's orders, it attacked Yin Pengfei instead.
Yin Pengfei's face turned red as he clutched his crotch and crumpled to the ground, staring at the lion-headed goose in disbelief.
His expression seemed to ask: Why?
Back in the hotel, the little fox sprawled lazily on the sofa, enjoying the air conditioning, while glancing quite naturally at Mo Yiqing, who was watching videos.
"In terms of music data algorithms, it has to be yours that suits my taste. Ah Qing's are just too vulgar, filled with showy pet videos."
Most of Mo Yiqing's short video suggestions were on fitness and filming aspects.
Each influencer was like a living Buddha, showing as much as they could spare nothing.
The little fox found it appealing and enjoyed watching these selfless acts of generosity by flesh-bodied Buddhas.
But... why aren't their accounts banned?
Mo Yiqing pondered deeply while browsing videos and typed in the search bar: "Quick Butt Fat Loss Method".
"Still thinking about those two ounces of meat eh!" Seeing Mo Yiqing switch the TV channel, the little fox discontentedly grumbled:
"Change my short videos back, Foxy doesn't want to see long-winded scientific weight-loss talks, I want to see hot dances..."
The little fox kicked, nudging Mo Yiqing's leg.
When Mo Yiqing noticed the fox nudging her, she smiled, reached out, and patted the fox's skin, rubbing the soft little tummy, saying, "What? Already full and wanting a belly rub? Such indulgence?"
"Rub all you want, but keep those little hands clean and don't keep attacking my buttons. Be careful, or Master Fox might counterattack your buttons later..."
Ansheng lifted her foot and nudged away Mo Yiqing's less-than-clean hands, starting to grumble.
"Oh dear? Full and not recognizing me already? Little foxes are born to be petted by their aunty!" Seeing the little fox dare to resist belly rubs, Mo Yiqing chuckled, pressed closer using her weight, and snuggled forcefully.
[Fox!—in Mo Yiqing's heart, there was no resistance against soft, fluffy things.]
The moment Ansheng was about to resist, she saw the update in the wish list and was entirely bewildered.
Cash drop... a coin drop from the rich lady!
Holy smokes! The rich aunt dropped coins!
"Sis, you lay down, and Ansheng will give you a massage." Seeing the rich aunt unexpectedly drop golden coins, Ansheng was near tears.
Among the various types of wishes, Ansheng saw hundreds, if not thousands, and wealthy people's wishes were always the hardest to fulfill.
What they could achieve easily was thanks to their money power.
What money power couldn't achieve was mostly illegal, criminal, or against the laws of physics, purely idealistic matters.
Rich like Lin Ying, she had a long list of wishes, yet Master Fox still maintained a 0 achievement milestone.
Mo Yiqing wasn't much different, with wishes concerning some idealism and fitness sculpting.
"Crying Fox is Tearful! Finally opened a shop!" Ansheng crawled out of Mo Yiqing's embrace, maneuvered to stand upon Yiqing's graceful back, and began to knead with her little fox paws.
As she pressed down on the little fox, Mo Yiqing suddenly realized the fox had slipped from her grasp, ran up to her back, pinning her onto the sofa.
Mo Yiqing froze, glanced over to the bathroom direction and asked, "Ah Qing, come out and see, does Xiaolan count as absorbing my Yang Qi now...?"
Wrapped in a towel, Yu Xueqing poked her head out from the bathroom door, instantly spotting the family fox pressing Mo Yiqing down on the sofa, with both paws on her shoulders pushing up and down.
"Seems like... it's paying back a favor?" Yu Xueqing spoke uncertainly.
The little fox's eyes lit up and intensified the back pressing, as if excavating something.
After frolicking for a moment, time moved to three o'clock, Ansheng's usual nap time.
Ansheng nestled next to Yu Xueqing, sleeping soundly, hugging the 4 points of wish energy she had just earned.
Upon waking up, it was already evening, and the summer heat began to dissipate.
Yu Xueqing, Mo Yiqing, and Qiu Lingling sat on the sofa discussing something.
"...let's decide on that then! I've always been curious about what those fresh squid tubes taste like."
Ansheng shook her head, yawned, stretched, and looked at the lively trio, saying:
"Were you just discussing what to eat? If it's fresh squid, I suggest going for stir-fried with scallions, it's more fragrant."
'Master ~ Is it time to eat? Foxy woke up just in time, right?'
Hearing the little fox's soft murmurs, Yu Xueqing responded with a touch of cheerfulness:
"Later... we're going out to sea for dinner, something you've never seen before."
While Ansheng slept, the trio replanned the travel itinerary.
As the saying goes, more friends means more paths, and with Qiu Lingling, who hails from a family of old fishermen, here.
The travel route Yu Xueqing arranged seemed a bit lacking in novelty at first, but with Qiu Lingling's help, the route got a refreshing update.
Won't go straight to dinner, rather they'll take a ferry directly to [Qingao Island], have dinner there, and after watching and photographing the seaside fireworks festival, go sea fishing for fresh evening snacks.
What you can catch as an evening snack depends entirely on one's own skills.
Mo Yiqing has money power, Qiu Lingling has connections.
The combination of both mapped out a travel route difficult for other tourists to plan.
Traveling, after all!
The idea is to escape the present situation, experience lives others have grown tired of, and find a sense of freshness. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
"Going out to sea later?"
"Today's not a good day for going out to sea! I just heard that dolphins are planning to have a wild party in the sea."
