Huli Jing is indeed very confused right now, but there is nothing wrong with having the same name. Back in the Moon Pavilion, some ladies have the same name but different nicknames, so Huli Jing didn't think more.
However, another man came, followed by more people. It seems like they have great hearing. They too start to call themselves 'Daddy'.
The physician's face darkens. The men are indeed becoming annoying. The place becomes crowded. Even the air feels stuffy.
Huli Jing is looking at several men around her, calling themselves 'Daddy'. Their enthusiasm made her head and heart hurt. Such handsome men surrounding her are Huli Jing's paradise but the fact they kept on making her call them 'Daddy' made her head hurt.
The physician saw that Huli Jing didn't speak anymore and looked like she was getting dizzy with everyone acting like that, he finally stepped up and said something. The men looked disappointed but still went out afterward.
The physician looks gently at Huli Jing and starts patting her to sleep. Huli Jing is still too confused, so she thought so hard. The physician saw Huli Jing's conflict, so while patting her to sleep he talk to her in low voice. Although Huli Jing couldn't understand him, she felt cleansed.
Huli Jing suddenly becomes sleepy still thought of one thing 'Daddy shouldn't be the name of a person. It might be a title or just like maybe, brother or cousin.' Huli Jing yawned and finally fell asleep.
The physician sighed in relief when Huli Jing started sleeping. He stood up and went down, started working, and took care of the wounded.
The men earlier, who came up to Huli Jing were getting ready to hunt some prey and look for plants they could eat. Huli Jing mostly eats plants too, making them prioritize looking for plants.
While Huli Jing is sleeping small foxes silently creep into the room. When they finally got to Huli Jing, they look at her in astonishment. Some smaller foxes even stepped on Huli Jing's small body just so they could see her face well. The other bigger one was shocked and tried to take them down. But it was already too late as Huli Jing, who didn't sleep too deeply woke up.
Huli Jing suddenly sat up, but because her body is fragile she felt pain, making her tears run out.
The foxes were stunned to immediately respond, but the bigger ones clumsily patted her back gently and others wiped her tears.
When Huli Jing finally stopped her tears, they all sighed in relief. The smaller one is too guilty and keeps on nudging their head on her feet.
Huli Jing could now focus on what is happening. Curious, she took the smallest fox she could hold. The fox is too small, the fox is 5 inches. It's very heavy, she could only put it on her lap. The fox and Huli Jing stared at each other. The small fox suddenly became embarrassed and hid its face with his hand. A giggle escaped from Huli Jing's mouth.
The bigger foxes finally snapped out and took the smaller fox that was on Huli Jing's lap. Huli Jing watched as the bigger fox got angry at the smaller fox and bit its neck to drag it out of the room. Huli Jing didn't know what to do. The other fox who remained took away her attention and gave her some cherries. Her eyes shined and immediately took the berries, it was her favorite.
After eating berries, Huli Jing looks at the foxes she has never seen. They are smaller than the men who can transfer into a human, much smaller than her.
The foxes thought that Huli Jing still wants some berries, so they gave her more. Huli Jing took it as she analyzes the foxes.
The fox who went out with the smaller fox came back alone, holding a ball of fur. Huli Jing looks at the fur in confusion as the fox put it on her lap. Remembering the dog she saw on Moon Pavilion, she took the ball and throw it away. The foxes were shocked and didn't know what to do.
Huli Jing stretches her hand toward the ball and closes and opens her hand as she signaled them to fetch the ball. The other bigger fox who is quiet and didn't make a ruckus thought hard before running toward the ball, took the ball in his hand and gave it back to Huli Jing.
She smiled happily and clapped her hands. The fox shies away. Huli Jing giggles and throws the ball again. Being competitive, the other foxes ran for the ball and fought to take it back to Huli Jing. The winner got a clap and pat on his head. And with that Huli Jing and the foxes played fetch the ball.
The foxes fought to get the ball and deliver it to her. They like it when Huli Jing pat their head and clap her hand. She also looks beautiful when smiling, and giggling happily.
Huli Jing happily plays with the foxes, completely messing up the room. She didn't take notice of that but the physician heard all the ruckus rush in. Standing at the entrance of the room the physician was mortified. He ran to Huli Jing and carried her. She was stunned and the foxes suddenly realized what they'd done. The room was messed up and they got caught playing with Huli Jing.
The physician is angry. He started reprimanding the foxes. They all look wilted and whimpered. They were too happy to play and forgot that they just snuck into the room to see Huli Jing. They were forbidden to be near her because she is too young. Baby foxes have great strength, afraid that they will hurt the female baby. It's also the reason why the physician is angry.
Huli Jing felt stuffy and finally noticed the mess they created. She sniffed and couldn't help but tear up. The physician didn't see her crying, the foxes were all looking down, too guilty to look at the physician. This is the first time that no one coaxed her, and she suddenly felt wrong. Huli Jing, who rarely weeps, cried loudly.
"Hu'er!?!"
