TYMRHBDES Chapter 160

The Little Fox tilted its head, studying Pei Yu for a moment before turning its gaze to Zhou Jing.

It wagged its tail at the peeled grape Zhou Jing had just offered, its expression dripping with anticipation.

Seeing his Little Fox staring so intently at Zhou Jing, Pei Yu felt a pang of jealousy. “He’d follow anyone with food,” he muttered, “no fear of being lured away.”

The Little Fox reluctantly tore its drool-worthy gaze away and nuzzled Pei Yu’s fingertip with its tail, its touch soft and clingy.

Zhou Jing offered the peeled grape, and the Little Fox eagerly stretched its head forward, only to be firmly restrained by Pei Yu.

“He doesn’t eat that,” Pei Yu said coldly.

The Little Fox’s ears perked up, and it chirped urgently, its soft, childlike voice filled with longing.

I want it!

Watching the frantic Little Fox and the possessive Pei Yu, Zhou Jing silently popped the peeled grape into his own mouth, then placed the rest in a container and handed it over.

Pei Yu remained motionless.

The Little Fox strained its neck, trying to reach the container.

“The Little Fox really likes these,” Zhou Jing said, his expression calm as he looked at Pei Yu. “Teacher Pei may not like me, but the grapes did nothing wrong.”

Pei Yu glanced at Zhou Jing before turning his attention back to his Little Fox.

The Little Fox stared longingly at the box of grapes, seemingly aware that Pei Yu had no intention of taking them. Its tail tip swayed listlessly, and its large ears drooped, like a frost-bitten eggplant, withered and limp.

Pei Yu paused for a moment, then reached out and took the box of grapes.

He handed the grapes to Zhang Hao, who was standing behind him, and ruffled the Little Fox’s head. His voice turned icy as he addressed Zhou Jing, devoid of any warmth:

“Watch the people around you.”

With those words, he turned and left.

Zhou Jing froze, instinctively glancing at his assistant. But the assistant’s gaze shifted nervously, and he turned his head away, clearly guilty.

Back in his room, Pei Yu slammed the door shut, leaving Zhang Hao outside.

Moments later, the sound of an overturned vinegar jar echoed from within, followed by Pei Yu’s deep, melodious voice, strained with suppressed anger:

“How many grapes are in the house that you won’t eat? Do they taste better when someone else feeds them to you?”

“Have you fallen for that pretty boy?”

“What? Are the grapes he feeds you sweeter?”

Taking advantage of his inability to transform into human form, Pei Yu couldn’t punish him. Jiang Luoluo bravely wagged his tail, leaped boldly from Pei Yu’s palm, and scampered lightly to his cozy little den.

Jiang Luoluo wore the smug expression of someone who had been out playing around and returned home to continue his carefree, arrogant ways.

Pei Yu reached out, grabbed him, and hissed, “Jiang Luoluo, don’t tell me you actually like him!”

The Little Fox couldn’t speak, only blinked his beautiful, wide eyes and wagged his tail.

Pei Yu sneered, “If you dare to like him, believe me, I’ll kill him.”

The Little Fox’s tail wag faltered, fear flickering in his eyes.

Pei Yu’s voice turned sinister. “If you keep flirting with other men, you’ll never leave this house again.”

“A disobedient Little Fox will be chained to the bed, naked, forced to wag his tail only for me.”

“Even when you’re too exhausted to wag anymore, I won’t show mercy.”

“I’ll treat you even worse.”

His slender fingers pressed against the Little Fox’s round belly. Pei Yu’s tone turned icy.

“I’ll make sure this stays full forever.”

The image flashed through Jiang Luoluo’s mind. The Little Fox, who had been so arrogant just half a minute ago, trembled, his ears twitching in fear.

He desperately wrapped his front paws around Pei Yu’s fingers, nuzzling his fluffy head against the man’s large hand to show he would be obedient.

***

As the time for filming the variety show drew closer, Jiang Luoluo remained stubbornly in his Little Fox form, showing no signs of transforming back.

Pei Yu took hum everywhere he went.

When Pei Yu was filming, he had Zhang Hao carry him in a basket. The Little Fox perked up its head and played all day, then was cradled in Pei Yu’s palm and taken home in the evening.

For the past few days, he had been sleeping with Pei Yu.

The tiny Little Fox would curl up beside Pei Yu’s pillow, but he was a restless sleeper. He often rolled off the pillow in its sleep, its tail landing across Pei Yu’s face.

Tonight was no different.

Before bed, Pei Yu placed the freshly washed Little Fox on the soft cushion on the table and used a hairdryer to fluff its fur.

The fur, which had been clinging to its body, bloomed under the warm air, becoming fragrant and exceptionally fluffy.

The Little Fox seemed utterly exhausted, its round head nodding repeatedly until it nearly toppled over.

Pei Yu lifted him up and placed him beside his pillow. A soft, sleepy “ji” sound followed—the Little Fox saying goodnight.

Pei Yu ruffled his head and casually turned off the light.

The spacious bedroom fell silent. The heavy curtains weren’t fully drawn, allowing the bright moonlight to stream through the window and gently bathe the large bed, illuminating the man’s refined, handsome face and the little fox curled up beside him.

The room was quiet, save for the soft, rhythmic breathing.

In the middle of the night, the little fox’s tail twitched. His paws, splayed upward, clenched and relaxed, revealing plump pink paw pads beneath his sharp claws.

He murmured a drowsy “ji” twice in his sleep, feeling cramped and restless.

With a restless flip, he kicked out with his furry paws, stretched his hind legs, and let out a long sigh, a soft “hmm” escaping his lips.

A hand gripped his hind paw. The little fox tugged his leg, but it wouldn’t budge.

The bedroom’s overhead light flicked on, its sudden brightness momentarily blinding.

Jiang Luoluo wrinkled his nose, instinctively trying to fold his fox ears over his eyes with his paws.

He patted his head, a puzzled “hmm?” escaping him, his voice rising in a questioning tone.

Where were his big ears?

Pei Yu’s languid voice drifted over from the side: “Awake?”

Jiang Luoluo opened his mouth, but instead of the familiar “squeak, squeak,” his own voice emerged, sweet and slightly drowsy: “You’re awake~”

Jiang Luoluo: “!!!”

He froze for a second, his round, bright apricot eyes slowly focusing before blinking gently.

He had transformed into his human form!

A chill ran through him. Jiang Luoluo pushed himself up and glanced down, his face instantly flushing crimson.

His human form was completely naked.

He was currently curled up between two pillows, stark naked and utterly exposed.

His hind paw—or rather, his foot—was brazenly planted on Pei Yu’s abdominal muscles.

Beneath his foot lay the clearly defined, rock-hard muscles, radiating latent power.

Pei Yu’s large hand gripped Jiang Luoluo’s slender ankle, his palm covering the entire instep.

Jiang Luoluo hastily yanked the blanket over himself, stammering apologies as he tried to retract his leg.

He tugged with all his might.

His right foot remained firmly clasped in Pei Yu’s hand, unyielding.

Jiang Luoluo, his face burning red, looked up at Pei Yu. The man’s sharp eyebrows were slightly raised, his gaze fixed on him with an ambiguous, teasing smile.

Jiang Luoluo felt a chill run down the back of his neck under Pei Yu’s unmistakably intense gaze. He clutched the blanket to his chest with his small hands, his voice soft and almost pleading:

“Pei Yu, what are you doing…?”

Pei Yu regarded him with leisurely amusement, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. His cool voice echoed through the room: “Finally decided to take human form?”

A chill settled in Jiang Luoluo’s heart.

The fingers gripping his ankle slowly tightened.

With a slight tug, Pei Yu pulled Jiang Luoluo closer.

The tall, handsome man leaned in, pressing their noses together, lips aligned.

Pei Yu’s voice was low and menacing: “I haven’t settled the score for all these days yet.”

His captivating voice burrowed into Jiang Luoluo’s ears, the warm breath ghosting across his lips. The blush on Jiang Luoluo’s cheeks deepened, spreading down his neck.

Pei Yu lowered his head to study him.

He’s blushing like this already, and I haven’t even done anything yet.

Jiang Luoluo’s thick lashes fluttered nervously, his dewy eyes shimmering like autumn water. His skin was as pale as snow, delicate and fragile.

He wanted people to pity him.

Yet he also wanted them to break him.

Pei Yu’s eyes deepened as his slender fingers tapped Jiang Luoluo’s chin.

“Little fox spirit, why so quiet?”

“When we first met at the film studio, you were doing it on purpose, weren’t you?”

“Deliberately appearing by my leg and rubbing your tail against my ankle.”

“Little fox spirit, were you trying to seduce me back then?”

Pei Yu’s voice was excited, his smile wicked.

“After being taken home by me as a matter of course, you even secretly watched me shower in the pool…”

“So, did you get a good look? Are you satisfied with what you saw?”

The little fox spirit blinked innocently, feigning ignorance. “What are you talking about?”

Pei Yu made a gesture as if stuffing him into his pocket. Jiang Luoluo instantly understood, his ears flushing crimson, his entire body feeling like it was being steamed alive.

Pei Yu simply chuckled, raising an eyebrow as he repeated, “Well? Am I handsome enough to satisfy you?”

The person opposite him flinched, his small hands flying up to cover his face. A soft, coquettish voice muffled through his palms:

“You’re shameless.”

“But why did you run away?” Pei Yu asked, clearly puzzled as he looked at the person before him. “You were willing to come home with me, so why did you suddenly bolt without a word?”

“Did I do something wrong? That night…” Pei Yu frowned. “I didn’t even do anything to you, did I?”

“How could you say you didn’t do anything to me?!” The Little Fox huffed, muttering softly, “Don’t think I didn’t notice—you definitely wanted to sleep with me!”

“If I hadn’t run away…” Jiang Luoluo lowered his hands, his beautiful little face twisted into a bitter expression. “Once you’d stripped my clothes off and realized I was a boy, you’d have beaten me to a pulp!”

Pei Yu froze for a second, incredulous. “You ran away just because of that?”

Jiang Luoluo tilted his chin defiantly, cheeks puffed out. “What else?”

Pei Yu stared at him, speechless.

Pei Yu chuckled in exasperation at his matter-of-fact tone, reaching out to pinch his cheek. “Is that really how you see me? As some petty, narrow-minded person?”
