Chapter 14 Qing Yu (6)

“How about Wen?” Unexpectedly, Qing Yu quickly proposed a surname. This time, she was confident of her choice.

“Why?” The fox narrowed his eyes.

“Because my surname is Wen.” Qing Yu smiled. “My full name is Wen Qingyu. What do you think? Doesn’t it sound nice?”

——No, it doesn’t. The fox turned his head away.

“This is not my father’s last name, it’s actually my mother’s,” Qing Yu went on. “My mother died when I was very young. Although I didn’t have any memories of her, my father let me have my mother’s surname so I can remember her. So, I will give you this meaningful surname out of my immense kindness. Wen Jiubo, this name is really good, isn’t it?”

“No,” the fox replied dryly.

“Ah, why?” Qing Yu apparently did not expect that; she immediately pouted. “Why?”

“A surname is only useful for weak species who live in groups like human beings,” the fox answered with disdain. “A surname is nothing but a shackle.”

“Well… maybe.” Qing Yu lowered her head; her expression showed she was a little disappointed, but she quickly got excited again. “Forget it, you don’t need a surname. Jiubo is good, Jiubo!”

“Well, whatever,” the fox answered perfunctorily. It lay on the ground and pretended to take a nap.

However, though the nine-tailed fox was still as arrogant as ever, Qing Yu found that there was something quite different when she woke up the next morning.

“Hey, get up. The sun has already risen.”

Qing Yu curled up on the haystack and slowly opened her eyes. “Em… I know. Just give me five more minutes…”

However, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something different.

That voice was not the low-pitched voice that the fox usually had. Instead, it seemed closer to the voice of a human being; it was masculine and charming.

Qing Yu instantly opened her eyes.

Standing outside the cave was not the huge fox she was familiar with, but a young man wearing red silk clothes with long, soft black hair tied at his back. However, the stiff expression on that handsome face made her think that she might have owed him a huge amount of money.

“Ah——!” Qing Yu screamed and covered her body with hay and retreated. “You, who are you?!”

The man frowned. “Is there anyone else here besides you and me?”

“What…” Qing Yu popped her head out behind the haystack and asked, “Jiubo?”

The man ——the nine-tailed fox nodded.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly she became angry again. “Why did you suddenly turn into a human being! You almost scared me to death!”

“Didn’t you say that it’s inconvenient to talk to me when I’m a fox?” The fox said with disdain while walking towards Qing Yu.

“Wait, wait! Do not come over!” Qing Yu suddenly shouted, which startled the fox.

“What?” The fox was displeased.

“Um…um!” Qing Yu covered her chest and flushed. “I haven’t cleaned up yet.”

The fox was even more confused. “Ha? What are you going to clean up? ”

“I need to get dressed, wash my face… I look terrible now!”

The fox knitted his brows as he continued to walk towards her with his arms crossed. “What are you talking about? You’ve been here for so long, why would you start caring about your image now? ”

“No!” Qing Yu shouted and began to throw hay at him. “It’s different now! Get out, get out! ”

Just like that, the nine-tailed fox Jiubo was driven out of the cave. He waited outside until a girl as beautiful as a heavenly goddess came out.

In fact, Qing Yu had only washed her face with water, smoothed her hair with her hands, and dusted her clothes.

Perhaps, she had always been heavenly beautiful, just that the fox never noticed before.

However, the fox was still utterly confused.

“Why did you need to clean yourself up?”

“You!” Qing Yu poked his chest with one of her fingers. “You really don’t understand a woman’s heart!”

“A woman’s heart? It’s just a heart, what is the difference between men’s hearts and women’s hearts? ”

“Oh my goodness, you!”

As they spent more and more time with each other, there were more places where Qing Yu could go. The fox no longer kept her in that cold cave, instead, it let her go to the creek to fetch water and run freely in the forest.

His affection towards her grew as time went by.

Of course, it made sense.
