When the fox Bai Yu had cultivated for nine hundred years on Changming Mountain, she was struck by a great calamity and left on the brink of death. A young lady from a prince's manor saved her, and to repay the debt of gratitude, Bai Yu stayed by her side for the rest of her life.
Her benefactor lived to a ripe old age, but the day before Bai Yu was about to take human form, she fell into a coma and was near death. Desperate for her to see Bai Yu one last time, Bai Yu acted rashly and wagered a thousand years of cultivation. She lost her soul and died alongside her benefactor that very day.
After being reborn, she grew into a mushroom beside a dilapidated farmhouse in a remote corner of the modern world. She couldn't run or move. Compared to her previous life, it was much more boring.
The interesting thing was that a pure and innocent girl, as lovely as jade and harmless to people and animals alike, lived in the farmhouse. She had been abandoned there.
The girl put her whole heart into everything she did, but never got the hang of it. She chopped wood for ages, but it was unusable. The food she cooked in the pot was inedible. The fire she lit nearly burned down the roof. Every day was a struggle.
Bai Yu recognized her benefactor at first sight.
It didn't matter if she didn't remember Bai Yu. In this life, Bai Yu could repay her kindness with all her heart once again.
*
Reborn as a mushroom, Bai Yu still couldn't shake her fox nature.
She climbed into her benefactor's bed and kept watch at her bedside every day, waiting for her to open her eyes and see her.
After taking human form, she climbed into her benefactor's arms, curling up like a fox and waiting to be petted.
Her benefactor wasn't good at that sort of thing, so Bai Yu used her mycelium to tug at her wrist and guide her, offering her rosy cheeks and sweet kisses to help her experience a tenderness so intense it could melt her bones.
As all her meridians surged with warmth, Bai Yu thought of her past life, and of her determination to make her benefactor see her true face. She realized that the seed of love had taken root in her heart long ago.
The farther her mycelium spread through the earth, the deeper Bai Yu's love for her benefactor grew.
As it happened, her benefactor loved her too.
And had fallen for her far earlier than she expected.
[Note: Mushrooms grow in places where the air is very humid, and they also grow in places where the air is very sweet. There are lots of mushrooms in this story: pink, bubble-like, adorable and cute.]
My next book will be The Professor's Candy Is the Sweetest. Please add it to your reading list!
Teng Xueyan, owner of Xinyan Entertainment, the country's most promising entertainment company, secretly married, making headlines in the entertainment news. A reporter asked her why she chose to marry a stuffy researcher.
Teng Xueyan said, "The more solemn a place is, the more we wildflowers who hate being controlled want to sneak inside."
Later, people dug up the fact that this was no ordinary researcher. She was an adjunct professor at one of the world's foremost clinical medical schools for medicinal fungi. Her research had saved countless lives, and she was the country's only one of her kind.
Someone interviewed their high school classmates and asked what they thought of the relationship.
A classmate said, "The two most successful people in our whole grade shared a dorm room. I always knew they had something going on."
The people involved knew best that it hadn't started in high school, but on Teng Xueyan's thirtieth birthday.
A certain stuffy professor had posted a matrimonial notice on her social media feed, and Teng Xueyan happened to see it.
If she had known that the post was visible only to her, perhaps she would have thought differently. Perhaps she would have realized that the person she had been pining for had been pining for her too, and had been for years.
Theme: Companionship is the longest-lasting declaration of love.
What are these two people planning? This inexplicable malice sucking pleasure from other people's pain? [Angry][Question Mark] Pick up my big knife
Throw flowers????????????
When did you tell me about the mushroom?
Yeah, so many little eyeliners 🤩 🐶
Can you change it? Don't force me to beg you.
Be a human being [hold your chin] and get stuck here. . . .
Explain! It's written in big letters so sweetly, are you in love?
Hahaha, it's about to get sweet.
Wow, it was solved so quickly and neatly, but this is also the accumulation of years of experience by lawyers. The next step will be the sweetness of our little couple, right?
I always thought Teacher Yan taught physical education
