Li Xiao is a white fox who has cultivated for a thousand years. Just as he was about to take human form, an accident occurred.
The bad news: his body was destroyed.
The good news: a wisp of his soul remained.
At a critical moment, Li Xiao happened to possess a male college student and gained a second life.
To repay the student for saving his life, Li Xiao decided to fulfill his dying wish: make it through three years and earn his graduate degree.
Human, your brain may be empty, but have faith in the fox!
A fox is an excellent learner!
Relying on the original owner's memories and working hard at his studies, Li Xiao gradually found his footing in the lab. With a fox's knack for getting along with everyone, he also made plenty of friends.
Life began to feel fulfilling, except for...
The thing that terrified the fox more than anything else...
The weekly lab meeting!
More experiments, writing papers, revising literature reviews, and finally reporting their progress to their advisor together.
Human, I'm a fox. Do foxes have to attend weekly lab meetings too?
After Li Xiao got chewed out by his advisor at yet another lab meeting, even a carefree little fox like him would look downcast and eat three bowls less than usual that day.
Who could have guessed that evening, his usually aloof senior fellow student would take the initiative to send him a stylish academic PowerPoint template and open a Tencent Meeting to carefully explain how to make a presentation?
"If you have questions in the future, don't come find me in person. Online is fine."
From then on, Li Xiao spent every evening with his laptop and phone, discussing academics and chatting about experiments with his senior.
Human, this fox doesn't know what our relationship is.
But the fox watches short videos, and this feels a little like having an affair!
At last, graduation came. Li Xiao looked at the two certificates in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally return to the forest and go back to causing trouble!
But his stern-faced, warm-hearted senior fellow student appeared with a bouquet of roses, blushing as he asked Li Xiao, unusually stumbling over his words:
"Could I... could I be your boyfriend?"
Li Xiao: ???
Human, you've never been confessed to before!
Neither has the fox!
So what is the fox supposed to do in this situation?
[What should I do when I only wanted to repay a kindness, but someone won't leave me alone?]
[This is even harder than graduating from grad school!]
