Free Web NovelChapter 156: Chapter 156: Do not touch her just because she is small
Hu Baiyu nodded very seriously, as if he agreed even though he had not tasted it.
Lin Huahua became even more confused. "How is it different?"
Mu Qingyi looked at her. "Because you picked it for me."
Lin Huahua’s tiny ears burned again.
This deer.
This deer was too much.
She only picked fruit because she felt guilty. How did he make it sound like she had crossed mountains and fought ancient beasts just to bring him a treasure?
Feng Yiren clicked his tongue. "Great. Now he will treasure dirt fruit forever."
"It is not dirt fruit," Mu Qingyi said calmly.
"You ate it from the ground."
"Huahua picked it from the tree."
"It fell to the ground."
"Only for a moment."
Lin Huahua felt that this conversation was going in a strange direction, but somehow her heart was warm. She still glared at Mu Qingyi and said, "Next time, wash it first."
Mu Qingyi nodded obediently. "Next time, I will wash it."
Then he took another bite of the unwashed fruit.
Lin Huahua screamed in her tiny voice, "You are still eating it."
Mu Qingyi smiled. "This one is already started."
Feng Yiren laughed again, and this time even Hu Baiyu’s shoulders shook quietly.
Lin Huahua turned her head sharply toward Hu Baiyu. "You are laughing too?"
Hu Baiyu immediately straightened and shook his head.
His lion ears, however, twitched with betrayal.
Lin Huahua huffed and looked away.
Hu Baiyu looked from the fruits to Lin Huahua, then slowly reached out toward her tiny head. He seemed to want to pet her, but Feng Yiren immediately pulled her slightly back.
"What are you doing?" Feng Yiren asked.
Hu Baiyu looked at him innocently.
Feng Yiren narrowed his eyes. "Do not touch her just because she is small."
Hu Baiyu blinked, then slowly pointed at Feng Yiren’s hand, because Feng Yiren was literally holding her in his palm and had been teasing her like a toy since the beginning.
Feng Yiren paused.
Lin Huahua immediately turned and bit his finger.
This time she caught him.
Feng Yiren hissed and almost laughed at the same time. "You bit me." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"You deserved it."
"You tiny violent thing."
"You big annoying fox."
"I could put you in my hair and you would get lost."
"I will bite your ear."
"You cannot even climb that high unless I help you."
Lin Huahua tried to bite him again, but Feng Yiren shifted his finger away and looked far too pleased. "Look at you. So fierce, so small, so useless."
Lin Huahua’s whole body fluffed up with anger.
Feng Yiren’s eyes widened slightly.
Then his expression became even more delighted. "You puffed up."
"I did not."
"You did. Your fur puffed."
"It did not."
"It did. Mu Qingyi, look at her."
Mu Qingyi had to turn his face away because he was trying not to laugh while still holding the precious fruit. Hu Baiyu was no better. His blue eyes had become so soft and bright that he looked like he might actually melt into the ground.
Lin Huahua was furious.
But she also knew she had no power here.
In human form, she could at least throw things. In this tiny rat form, her strongest attack was biting a finger and puffing up like a cotton ball.
This was humiliating.
Feng Yiren, who had finally gotten a little revenge, looked so satisfied that it was almost unbearable. "Do not worry, little rat. I will protect you in this form. No bird will take you while I am here."
Lin Huahua glared. "I do not need your protection."
"You do. You are pocket-sized."
"What is pocket?"
Feng Yiren paused, because that word did not really exist in their beast world. He only remembered Lin Huahua had used it once.
Lin Huahua immediately narrowed her eyes. "You do not even know what you are saying."
Feng Yiren lifted his chin. "I know it means very small." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"That is not an explanation."
"It is enough."
Mu Qingyi finally laughed softly, the sound warm and full of joy. He bent down and picked up the fruits one by one, brushing off the dirt and placing them into the fold of his arm. His deer tail swayed gently behind him, and the careful way he held the fruits made Lin Huahua feel even more embarrassed.
"They are only fruits," she muttered.
"To me, they are very precious," Mu Qingyi said.
Lin Huahua’s tiny white rat ears burned in a way she did not know was possible.
Feng Yiren looked at Mu Qingyi’s face, then at the tiny rat in his hand, then clicked his tongue. "Great. Now he will treasure fruit forever."
Hu Baiyu finally could not resist anymore. He leaned closer, very slowly, and touched one finger to Lin Huahua’s soft head.
Lin Huahua froze.
Hu Baiyu’s eyes lit up.
His finger was huge compared to her tiny head, but his touch was so gentle that it barely pressed her fur. He stroked between her ears once, then paused, watching her face to see if she was angry. When she did not immediately bite him or squeak at him, his lion ears perked higher with hope.
"She is not a cub," Feng Yiren said at once.
Hu Baiyu ignored him and gently stroked her head with one finger again.
Lin Huahua wanted to scold him, but the touch was warm and careful, and his face looked so happy that she swallowed the words. In animal form, his finger felt huge against her head, and when he rubbed between her ears, her whole body relaxed before she could stop it.
That was the problem.
Her body liked it.
Her pride did not.
Feng Yiren stared. "Did you just enjoy that?"
"No," Lin Huahua said immediately.
Her body, however, had already betrayed her by leaning very slightly into Hu Baiyu’s finger.
Mu Qingyi saw it and smiled.
Feng Yiren saw it and looked wronged again.
Hu Baiyu saw it and looked like his entire night had become perfect.
