"Do you need to use the restroom? If not, wait for me in the car for a bit."
Hugging the fox by the car, after a few circles and sharing her joy, Yu Xueqing opened her car door, which she affectionately called "Spicy Fish Head," and placed the fox in the passenger seat.
Having control over a car is certainly something worth celebrating for this third-year college student.
Even more gratifying for Yu Xueqing is her dad's trust.
It's important to know that after she got her driver's license, she once drove her dad's pickup truck used for hauling goods.
As a result, when backing into the garage, she hit both the left and right sides, and since then, her dad has been watching her like a hawk.
The daughter is indeed dear on regular days, but if you want to drive with me... sorry, Dad's going rogue!
Today, she's once again granted the privilege to drive on the road!
Even though she has to help with the family's summer job, Yu Xueqing is still very happy.
A car! It's her own car!
"Holy crap! Ah Qing, are you planning an online scam?"
After Yu Xueqing opened the car door, Ansheng saw three sleek new smartphones and one rice phone neatly placed on the passenger seat.
Ansheng recognized the rice phone; it was the one Yu Xueqing usually used. But the other three new smartphones were completely unfamiliar to her.
Since most phones now support dual SIM cards, for non-illegal purposes, there's really no need for so many phones.
Ansheng looked anxiously at Yu Xueqing, worried that the girl might go astray and end up at Tilanqiao Prison.
But Yu Xueqing seemed not to notice the fox's worried look,
as she cheerfully turned back and closed the door. She was so busy sharing her happiness with her home fox that she forgot to close the door when she went out.
As Yu Xueqing closed the door to her house and the front door, text suddenly appeared in Ansheng's mind.
[Home Guardian Wish Completed, Yu Xueqing is overjoyed and wants to treat Foxy to a feast.]
[Wish Power +1]
Ansheng didn't pay much attention to the message in his mind; out of habit, he channeled the wish power to his body.
A golden light shimmered across the fluffy surface of the fox, causing Ansheng to show an expression of comfort with an involuntary smile as his little legs softened and he fell towards the passenger seat.
"Ah... it's better than lemon tea."
Although Ansheng fell awkwardly with limbs sprawled, the look of comfort was undeniable, and his eyes squinted as the fox's originally refined appearance became akin to a smiling shiba inu, exuding an amusing and slightly mischievous charm.
When wish power is applied to the head, besides recalling past life's dark histories, it doesn't have much effect.
But when wish power is applied to the body, the sensation is comparable to a massage from a top masseur, making it irresistibly comfortable.
"What's with that lewd expression?"
Yu Xueqing got into the car, seeing the fox lying awkwardly on the floorboard, eyes dazed, she couldn't help but instinctively take her phone out to snap a photo.
Yu Xueqing, grinning from ear to ear, uploaded Xiaolan's photo to her social media.
Of course, when uploading the photo, she didn't forget to block her family from seeing it.
When she adopted Xiaolan, she once sneakily tested her dad's attitude, trying to get him to increase her living expenses by 300 yuan.
But after testing, she gave up hope.
Her dad had just two things to say: "Isn't the Master Fox a protected animal? How can you keep one? What, you say Arctic Foxes and North American Red Foxes abroad? No no no, we from Xia Country don't engage in superstitions, foreign Bodhisattvas are notoriously ineffective..."
"Domestic Master Fox? You want to get struck by lightning, go ahead and try to keep a Master Fox as a pet!"
......
Yu Xueqing put all the phones away, picked up the mischievous fox that had fallen onto the floorboard, placed it back in the passenger seat, then drove her Spicy Fish Head towards the city center.
Changxi Town is located in the suburbs, but it's actually not far from Jiule City center, just about a ten-minute drive.
"Ah Qing... if things ever become unbearable, just speak up."
"We're at least Nationals Level-2, nicking two to three hundred a day isn't illegal, there's no need to do some risky enlightenment stuff for An's daily living expenses."
"If push comes to shove, I'll break open the neighbor's safe to support you..."
Ansheng looked serious as he glanced at Yu Xueqing and whimpered twice.
'Master~ you won't abandon me, right?'
'Master, don't be like this, when I grow up, I'll go out and hunt to support you!'
The clear whimpering of the fox reached Yu Xueqing's ears, though it wasn't smooth in translation, it somehow belonged to the unique choppy narrative after machine translation.
"Don't worry! We'll just grab some takeout and eat at home later!"
Yu Xueqing earnestly patted the fox's head, "No way would I throw you away. After all, I literally found you in the trash can!"
Ansheng: "......."
Sis, please don't turn selectively deaf now!
Ansheng was speechless, momentarily lost for words.
Nevertheless, if Ah Qing really strayed, he'd make a decisive move, using Ah Qing's reputation to directly call the police and put the fraudsters behind bars!
Speaking of which, pork price is twelve yuan per pound.
He only eats about eight yuan's worth a day.
The rest, supper, afternoon teas, he'll cover himself,
Surely Ah Qing wouldn't go astray over a monthly expense of less than 300 yuan, right? After all, her family runs a tea house, and there never seemed to be any involvement with financial scams...
Ansheng pondered the scenery outside the car window.
Outside, there were dozens of yellow school buses parked in front of a park-like building.
Seeing the grouped school buses, Ansheng couldn't help but cover his face.
In his past life, he worked in sales, selling tea.
But rather than targeting individual customers, it was aimed at beverage companies and large sales ends, so he had a deep understanding of the tea industry.
Thus, he naturally brought his past experiences into the present, concluding that running a tea house wouldn't be a loss.
Though the two planets Bluestar are similar, they have their differences.
For example, those grouped school buses parked outside the Youth Palace waiting for students.
Ansheng had spent plenty of time scrolling on the musical note app, learning that five years ago, Xia Country on this Bluestar, due to the high school graduation nearsightedness rate reaching ninety-three percent, implemented a green health education movement across all schools.
The purpose of green health education was to lower myopia rates and reduce the number of frail university students.
No matter how busy the curriculum, everyone must take at least an hour and a half a day for physical exercise.
Primary students' education is uniformly managed by the Youth Palace, while middle and high school students' exercises are supervised by school teachers, with mandatory performance metrics, and even sports health class grades count towards the college entrance exam scores.
But in university, the sports health classes aren't mandatory; it's entirely up to the students' willingness.
Because previously, university students' frailty was quite alarming, even a gust of wind could blow them over.
"Boss! Two salt and pepper wind crabs, and steam a fish; are the small calamari fresh? Do a white boil on them, then pack two bowls of congee for me."
The Spicy Fish Head car stopped in front of a food stall, Yu Xueqing stood on tiptoe, peered at the stock in the fish tank, and called out to the stall owner.
Almost all restaurants won't allow pets.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yu Xueqing chose a food stall near her new home in Jiule City to pack some food for herself and the little fox, planning to eat it at the park in front of the Youth Palace.
An extra 3,000 yuan salary seems like a lot, but since Jiule City is near the sea, seafood dishes are abundant.
Even though Yu Xueqing was very cautious with her order, she still spent nearly 400 yuan, feeling a bit stifled when paying.
As for why she didn't take it home to eat despite being near home? Why go to the Youth Palace?
Because Yu Xueqing worried that bringing a "Foreign Bodhisattva" home would make her dad instantaneously transform into a combat god of materialism, holding a Peach Wood Sword in his left hand and a statue of Lord Guan in his right, to exterminate the little fox.
Offering to foreign Bodhisattvas? What a joke! Xia Country doesn't engage with such ghostly matters!
