He stifled his laughter and pretended to look distressed as if he couldn't tell. "Is it - the ears of a little kitten?"
The little girl, who rarely got drunk, was so much fun. It would be a pity if he didn't tease her more.
"You're so stupid!" The tipsy little girl got angry again. She lowered her head and leaned closer to him. "Look more carefully. How could they be cat ears? They're clearly so different from cat ears!"
It was hard for a drunk person to control the distance. Chu Hengyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He held the little girl who was about to bump her head into his shoulder.
"I'll look more carefully. Don't be impatient," he coaxed softly.
Rong Lan nodded. "You! Look carefully!"
What she didn't know was that as she leaned forward, she brought her fox ears right up to Chu Hengyuan's lips.
Chu Hengyuan couldn't see, but he could feel the strange sensation on his lips. Presumably, it was the fur on the little girl's fox ears brushing against his lips.
Taking advantage of the fact that the drunk little girl's senses weren't particularly sharp, he opened his mouth and gently bit the tip of her ear.
He didn't use much force and thought she wouldn't realize what had happened. However, he could clearly feel the tip of the little ear tremble. He loosened his mouth guiltily and looked down to see the little girl on the verge of tears.
Rong Lan pointed at Chu Hengyuan with tears in her eyes. "Do you want to eat me?"
"???" Chu Hengyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was just about to explain his actions to her, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the sad little girl fall backward. She rolled on the bed twice. "Someone wants to eat the fox! Mom and Dad, save me! Big brother, save me!"
This time, Chu Hengyuan really couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
Could he get her drunk every night from now on? His Lanlan was really too much fun when she was drunk.
He grabbed the little girl's kicking feet. "Little fox, your parents aren't here, and your big brother isn't here either. No one can save you!" He deliberately threatened her.
Rong Lan's head was spinning. She only remembered that she was a fox and completely forgot that she knew magic.
She looked at Chu Hengyuan with teary eyes. "Fox meat doesn't taste good. Please don't eat me, okay?"
Chu Hengyuan shook his head and pretended to look fierce. He pressed his leg against the little girl's leg instead, and his hand clasped hers, pinning her hands to the bed. He leaned over her and pretended to be drooling. "I've never eaten fox meat before. Don't worry. I'll just take a few bites. I won't swallow you whole."
Rong Lan was so scared that her eyes turned red. She hiccupped twice in a row. "You can't even take a few bites. I'm afraid of pain. If you dare to bite me, I'll tell my elder brother! My elder brother is a powerful fox. I'll make him kill you!"
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that in the little girl's world view, fighting and killing were the norm.
"Your elder brother can't beat me." He just found out today that she originally had an elder brother.
"How is that possible!" Rong Lan instinctively tried to struggle, but her hands and feet were firmly controlled. Her strength was halved after getting drunk, and she couldn't break free from the person on top of her at all. "My elder brother is very powerful! He will definitely protect me!"
"Really?" Chu Hengyuan lowered his head and gently bit the delicate skin on the little girl's collarbone. "Then I'll eat you first before your elder brother finds you."
"No!" The fur on the fox ears fluffed up. The little girl who had just softened and begged for mercy became fierce again. "If you dare to bite me, I'll bite you too!"
"You can give it a try," Chu Hengyuan said with a laugh.
After hearing Chu Hengyuan's words, Rong Lan really opened her mouth and tried to bite him.
However, Chu Hengyuan dodged quickly. The little fox didn't succeed. She bit into the air several times.
The delicate little fox was so angry that tears were about to flow out. "You! You're too far away from me! You bit me just now! I want to bite you back! Come closer to me!"
Chu Hengyuan shook his head with a smile. "That won't do. It's your problem that you can't bite me. Everyone has to rely on their own skills to get the meat."
Moreover, he was almost lying on top of the little girl. Wasn't this close enough? If he got any closer, he was afraid he would take advantage of her while she was drunk.
Taking advantage of the little girl's drunkenness to do what he wanted to do.
"You! You're bullying me!" The little fox stared at the person who said he wanted to eat her. She tried to look fierce to scare him off. "I'll definitely make my big brother beat you up!"
Chu Hengyuan leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Little girl, do you know where your big brother is?"
He wanted to know where her real relatives were. After knowing that, he could find out where she came from.
He didn't expect that his casual question would make the little girl cry.
The little fox, who had just pretended to be fierce, was stunned for two or three seconds after hearing his words. Big teardrops rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She bit her lips aggrievedly. Tears kept falling, but she didn't make a sound.
Chu Hengyuan panicked. He immediately loosened his hands that were holding her and sat up. He pulled the delicate little girl, who couldn't stop crying, into his arms. He used his free hand to stroke her cheek and wipe away the tears on her face. "What's wrong, Lanlan? Are you unhappy? It's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you. If you want to bite me back, I'll let you. You can bite as many times as you want."
Rong Lan angrily slapped his hand away. While crying, she complained aggrievedly, "I can't find my big brother, and I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I'm doomed. I can't go home..."
Chu Hengyuan was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to comfort her for a while. He hadn't even found out where she came from. It was unrealistic to say that he would accompany her back to her real home. Even though he knew she was very drunk and wouldn't remember what was happening now, he still didn't want to lie to her about this.
"Where did Lanlan come from? Why did you become Bai Ronglan of the Bai family?" he gently patted her back.
Since she didn't let him touch her face, changing the way of comforting her should work, right?
"I, I came to this world after being struck by lightning..." Although she had slapped his hand away, Rong Lan instinctively turned her head towards him and buried her face in his arms. "I don't know how I became Bai Ronglan. I want to go home! I miss my parents! I miss my big brother! I miss my aunt..."
Chu Hengyuan lowered his eyes and gently rubbed her drooping fox ears. "So Lanlan isn't from this world... Has Lanlan ever thought about what your Chu Hengyuan will do if you go back to the world you're most familiar with?"
"Of course, I'll take him with me! I'll also take him to meet my parents and elder brother!" the little fox said in a muffled voice with an obvious sob in her tone.
The heart that Chu Hengyuan had just raised fell back down steadily. Sure enough, the little wife he had chosen himself wouldn't disappoint him.
