It seemed to be a fine day. He put the cookies in the oven in the kitchen, washed his hands, and stepped out onto the balcony. Just then, he saw the sunlight falling on his little girl's hands. The girl was sitting in the rocking chair, having fallen asleep at some point. Her palm was turned upwards, as if she had caught a handful of sunlight.
The shy Ragdoll cat was squinting its eyes and lying quietly in the girl's arms, neither meowing nor making a fuss.
He also stood quietly at the junction of the balcony and the living room, watching. At that moment, he felt that such a simple and ordinary life was enough. He didn't ask for great wealth and honor; he just wanted things to stay like this.
Now that his little girl had turned into a little fox, he still thought that as long as it was her, together with Chu Hupo, their little family of three would be enough.
Rong Lan didn't wake up until late in the morning. After getting up, she took little Hupo for a walk around the house. After making sure there was no one else at home, she started to talk. "Little Hupo, let's have lunch together!"
While walking around to check, she noticed that her brother had left some delicious food for her. It was on the dining table in the dining room. She could smell the roasted chicken when she passed by.
However... she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she could faintly smell the odor of medicine?
"Meow~" The little Ragdoll cat trotted after Rong Lan.
"Little Hupo, what time did you get up? Did you see your daddy when you woke up?" Rong Lan was especially afraid that Chu Hengyuan had left her a bowl of medicine.
However, when she jumped onto the dining table, she found that what her brother had done was far worse than just leaving a bowl of medicine. She saw a layer of white powder on her roasted chicken leg. She leaned in and smelled it. It was a strong smell of medicine.
"My roasted chicken leg has been defiled by medicine!" Rong Lan stamped her paw angrily.
"Meow~" The little Ragdoll cat seemed to sense Rong Lan's disgust for the drugged chicken leg. It pushed the plate with its paw, as if trying to tell its mother that she should eat properly.
Rong Lan understood what the little cat meant. She tilted her head in confusion. "Little Hupo, don't tell me you've been bribed by your brother?" Otherwise, why was it so insistent on her eating the drugged roasted chicken leg? She claimed that as a fox spirit with magic powers, she didn't need to take medicine to get better. She just had to wait for her cultivation to return.
"Meow—" How could it be! Was it the kind of cat that could be bribed with a single dried fish?
"Okay, okay, you haven't been bribed! Right, our precious little Hupo would never be so easily bribed." Rong Lan gave in. She pressed one paw on the edge of the plate and lowered her head to eat the roasted chicken leg. "Little Hupo, go and eat too. After we finish eating, I'll play with the tablet with you."
"Meow~"
It took the cat and the fox half an hour to finish this combined breakfast and lunch. The former ate dried fish slowly by nature, while the latter ate slowly because she was disgusted by the drugged chicken leg.
After eating the chicken leg, Rong Lan felt that her whole fox self was about to ascend. The anti - inflammatory medicine prescribed by Tang Xingwei tasted so strange. Even though she had eaten so many roasted chicken legs, the taste of the medicine in her mouth still couldn't be covered up.
She drank a few more sips of the water left by Chu Hengyuan to barely suppress the taste of the medicine in her mouth. Then she turned to look at the little Ragdoll cat. "Come on, little Hupo. Follow me. I'll play with the tablet with you."
"Meow~"
The little Ragdoll cat obediently followed Rong Lan. Even though it wasn't very interested in the tablet, it still accompanied its mother because she wanted to play with it.
The tablet was on the living - room sofa. It had been there since last night.
Rong Lan jumped onto the sofa and sat gracefully. She struggled to tap the tablet screen with her fox paw to enter the unlock password.
She finally understood the benefits of a human body. At this moment, using her fox paw to tap the computer screen made her look extremely clumsy. Moreover, a human body could use fingerprint password to unlock, but a fox paw couldn't. She had to enter the password one by one.
After entering the unlock password, she directly logged into her account on the chat app and then made a voice call to Si Mo.
Si Mo, who received the voice call, was alone in the fortune - telling shop. When he saw the caller ID on his phone screen, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all, considering the little fox's cautious nature, once she got better, she would definitely call him to ask about the situation of Bai Ronglan's body.
"Hello—"
"Hello, Si Mo. Are you feeling better?"
Si Mo's "Little fox, are you feeling better?" was completely blocked by the little fox's "Si Mo, are you feeling better?" Si Mo tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body and then answered the little fox's question. "I'm much better. There shouldn't be any major problems with your body, right?"
"Nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Rong Lan didn't mention at all that she had lost a whole tail of fox fur. "By the way, do you know how Bai Ronglan's body is?"
"In order not to let your sister Ran suspect that there's something wrong with me, I went to the hospital this morning and asked the doctor. The doctor said that it was due to excessive anxiety and heart failure that she had been in a coma. It's a psychological problem, and it's hard to say when the patient will wake up." When he heard what the doctor said, he felt a little more at ease.
Because the reason for the coma given by the doctor was too broad, but it didn't sound serious. Bai Rongran wouldn't be too worried about her sister's life for the time being, so she wouldn't expose this matter. Everything could proceed according to the little fox's plan.
"I like this reason." Rong Lan also breathed a sigh of relief. "When my cultivation recovers a bit more, I'll go to the hospital to figure out how to get back into that body."
"Okay. I've also asked the little ghosts to help. I've asked them to take turns to watch over you. For now, the only one who knows your body is in the hospital is Bai Rongran. She definitely won't be able to handle everything alone. To prevent some villains from attacking you, it's more reliable to let the little ghosts keep an eye on you."
Rong Lan couldn't help laughing. "You might as well just name Chu Chuan." Among the people she had offended, the only one in Kyoto who could attack her was Chu Chuan. There wouldn't be any other villains.
"It's him. And he should be very free now." He didn't tell the little fox that after he left the hospital, he came to the fortune - telling shop. Before he even got there, he saw Chu Chuan pacing back and forth in front of the shop. He didn't know what Chu Chuan was doing. He waited until Chu Chuan left before coming to open the shop. Although it was fun to swindle Chu Chuan out of his money, he had enough money for the time being and didn't want to talk to someone like Chu Chuan.
Rong Lan nodded her fox head. "He is really free now."
Without a job at the Chu Group, he would be free for sure.
"Stop talking. You should practice hard. I have to receive the customers." Si Mo said as he winked at the little ghosts floating in the door, signaling them not to speak for the moment.
The little ghosts all nodded understandingly.
When Rong Lan heard Si Mo say that there were customers, she thought they were regular customers. After saying goodbye to Si Mo, she hung up the phone and focused on her cultivation.
