Chapter 151.2

The nest was very simple. The white fox had found a softer ground and had laid a few weeds on it. But judging from the way the white fox curled up in the nest, it seemed that it had been living here for a while.

Wen Chi’s heart softened and squatted next to the white fox’s nest, touching the white fox’s head in the air.

The white fox tilted its head obediently to look at him.

“You can stay here. I won’t tell anyone and when I can touch a physical object, I’ll go find food for you.”

“Humm~”

“You are so cute. Do you mind if I give you a name?”

“Hmm hum hum~”

Wen Chi held his chin and thought for a while, thinking of a nickname for an animal, then he came up with an idea: “How about I call you Xiao Bai1Xiao(small) Bai(white) means Little White? You are a white fox, so calling me Xiao Bai is perfect.”

Wen Chi didn’t know if the white fox understood his words. It just tilted its head. Whenever Wen Chi said something, it happily chimed in, deservedly the king of fawning.

“No, no, the name Xiao Bai is too popular.” Soon, Wen Chi shook his head and rejected the idea, “How about calling it A’Hu2Hu 狐 means fox? That won’t work either. It’s a bit strange to name it after his breed… So what about using a homophonic sound and call it A’gu3Gu 孤 means Lonely or orphan, the characters look the same but it’s a little different from Hu(fox)? You don’t have a family and I don’t have memories. You’re all alone and I’m all alone too.”

With that said, Wen Chi touched the white fox’s head in the air.

The white fox immediately started to whine.

Wen Chi thought that the white fox agreed with his statement and immediately decided: “Then let’s call you A’Gu! A’Gu!”

“Humm~”

“A’Gu!”

“Humm~”

“A’Gu, A’Gu!”

“Hmm hum hum~”

Wen Chi was so happy that he shouted many times in unison with A’Gu, giggling with joy. Finally, he solemnly made a promise to A’Gu: “Don’t worry, I will definitely not expose your whereabouts. This matter will only be known to heaven and earth and you and me and no one else will know about it.”

But that night, the flag4(this was actually in English in the raw) that Wen Chi set up majestically… fell down.

Shi Ye came back from bathing and was arranging the books on the desk when a white figure suddenly came in from the window.

Wen Chi secretly thought it was not good and quickly shouted: “A’Gu! Get out!”

Unfortunately, he couldn’t stop him and could only watch helplessly as A’Gu circled around Shi Ye’s feet.

A’Gu seemed to be hungry and his tail was swiping restlessly on the ground. He raised his head, looked at Shi Ye and whined pitifully. From time to time, he lowered his head and bit Shi Ye’s trouser leg.

Shi Ye stopped arranging the books, looked at A’Gu at his feet expressionlessly, and then at Wen Chi who was hiding in the corner like a thief. He then asked: “What did you call it just now?”

Wen Chi knew that he couldn’t keep it a secret anymore and after squirming for a while, he said in a voice that was even smaller than A’Gu’s, “A’Gu.”

Shi Ye asked: “What does A’Gu mean?”

“I gave it the name, Gu5孤 – lonely, orphan because it doesn’t have the protection of its parents and it’s kind. And it’s really pitiful to have to make a living outside at such a young age.” Wen Chi was unsure of Shi Ye’s attitude towards this matter and said with extra caution. He subconsciously sacrificed for A’Gu, “I just found out today that it made a nest outside the window and I don’t know when it found us. ButI think that it is also fate that it can find us. So it’s better to keep it.”

Wen Chi’s voice became quieter and quieter and he buried his head guiltily.

He didn’t speak and Shi Ye remained silent.

The only sound left in the quiet room was A’Gu’s humming.

After a while, Shi Ye asked, “Do you want to raise it?”

Wen Chi nodded hurriedly and explained:  “When I say raising it, it’s actually just not driving it away and giving it a bite to eat when it doesn’t have any food.”

After saying that, Wen Chi clasped his hands together and looked at Shi Ye expectantly.

He was already prepared to be rejected by Shi Ye but unexpectedly Shi Ye nodded slowly.

Wen Chi was surprised and happy. He couldn’t help but run over to hug Shi Ye but he ended up flopping. But he didn’t care and grinned, giggling at Shi Ye, “Xiao Ye you are really a kind person, your heart is just as good as your face, I like you so much.”

Shi Ye took out a bag of things wrapped in paper from the cabinet behind him. He put the bag on the desk, opened the outer wrapping paper and  instantly revealed the peanut cake inside.

“When did you put this thing in the cabinet?” Wen Chi leaned over and watched with curiosity as Shi Ye picked up a piece of peanut cake, crushed it and then knelt down to feed it to A’Gu.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes. He skipped the topic and said instead: “Didn’t you say you don’t want to bother with me anymore?”

Wen Chi choked: “I-when did I say that?”

Shi Ye said: “This morning.”

“Oh, I was joking.” Wen Chi was able to bend and stretch when the situation called for it. Seeing Shi Ye compromising for A’Gu’s matter, he immediately put all the disagreements behind him, “The person I like most is you and I can’t bear to part with you. And you still need to help me feed A’Gu.”

Shi Ye snorted softly, but the corners of his mouth were obviously raised.

Wen Chi smiled and knelt down, watching quietly as Shi Ye fed A’Gu the peanut cake.

Just then, he inadvertently noticed that there seemed to be a black mark on Shi Ye’s wrist.

Wen Chi instantly remembered the old injuries he had seen on Shi Ye before and his face became slightly serious. He wanted to lift up Shi Ye’s sleeves but he couldn’t touch Shi Ye at all.

He could only wait, waiting for Shi Ye to raise his hand and waiting for Shi Ye to accidentally expose his wrist.

Fortunately, not long after, A’Gu, who was full, suddenly leaned on Shi Ye and began to act coquettishly.

Shi Ye was not expecting A’Gu to behave like this, so he raised his hands reflexively and hurriedly turned his gaze towards Wen Chi for help.

Wen Chi was amused by Shi Ye’s helpless look and wanted to laugh but when he saw Shi Ye’s wrist, he stopped laughing.

There were four or five serious bruises on his wrist, as if it had been lashed out with a whip, and it was particularly frightening to look at.

“Kid, your hands!”

When Shi Ye noticed Wen Chi’s shocked expression, he subconsciously looked at his raised hand. Immediately after that his face turned gloomy. He lowered his hand and used his sleeves to cover the black spots on his wrists. 

“Kid..……”

Shi Ye didn’t listen to Wen Chi and stood up to leave.

Wen Chi anxiously went to pull Shi Ye’s clothes and found that he could actually touch Shi Ye.

The two of them were shocked at the same time.

It was Wen Chi who reacted first. He didn’t even care about his face. He rushed forward and hugged Shi Ye tightly. He asked: “What’s the matter with the injury on your hand? Were you bullied outside?…..”
