Raising a Little Fox

·

Lin Yiqing is famously cool and aloof, a woman of few words who talks more to small animals than to people.

Her life is a straight line between home and the hospital. After five years on the job, nobody knows anything about her family background, relationship status, or even her personal preferences.

Her coworkers think that someone like Dr. Lin, who has shut her heart away, could never fall in love in her life.

Lin Yiqing thinks so too.

Until one day after work, she finds an injured snow fox at the entrance to her apartment building.

She takes the little fox home and carefully nurses it, planning to find its owner and return it once it has recovered.

To her surprise, two days later, the little fox turns into a fox spirit.

A fox spirit in every sense of the word.

Lin Yiqing looks at the beautiful girl sprawled in her arms, her mind completely blank.

Well, if you ask me... she could have sworn a fox tail just swished past her eyes.

The fox spirit blushes coyly. "Veterinarian big sister, grabbing a fox's tail means you're proposing to it."

Lin Yiqing: "...Sorry, that was a misunderstanding."

Bonus Scene

Lin: The wise don't fall in love. I'll never marry or date, and there's no way I'll ever fall for a mischievous, unruly, ungrateful fox!

Little fox spirit (ears perked, tail wagging): Want to play with me?

Lin: "..."

Little fox spirit (bringing over a collar): How about this one?

Lin: "..."

Little fox spirit (flopping down and showing her belly): Any position is fine!

Lin: "..." (covers her face)

The conscientious Dr. Lin skips work for no reason and spends the entire day playing with the little fox.

Happy ending.
