"Let's take a look at the other foxes," Fang Ye announced, gently placing Tang Bao down. He approached the corner where Xiao Qiao and the Prince were napping.
"Oh, there's a white fox here!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"I declare, from today, I'm a big fan of the white fox!"
"This white fox is not only beautiful but also has such an elegant posture while sleeping, unlike the chubby one next to it!"
"Haha, it does look like a chubby house cat, lounging at home with an air conditioner, dreaming!"
"The chubby house cat is offended!"
"While you're all busy watching the chubby one, I'll quietly take the white fox!"
"I won't let you have it! The white fox is mine!"
"Aw, the chubby one is so lonely; no one wants to be with it!"
"You're picking on me again!?"
Fang Ye continued, "Now, let me introduce each one. The chubbiest one is the Prince. He loves to eat and sleep, and he's an expert at it. Just look at how well he's sleeping right now. The silver fox is Xiao Qiao. Although it might not look nice, it has a great temperament and can get quite feisty..."
Suddenly, Xiao Qiao opened his eyes a bit, shot a menacing look at Fang Ye, and displayed his sharp teeth. It was evident that he hadn't forgotten Fang Ye's previous playful actions.
"Someone must have been talking behind my back," Xiao Qiao thought. He peered around suspiciously, then focused his glare on Fang Ye.
Fang Ye was quick to avert his gaze and whistle while pretending to admire the surroundings.
"Hmm?" Xiao Qiao huffed, and then turned his back on Fang Ye, refusing to acknowledge him.
Fang Ye wasn't bothered by Xiao Qiao's fierce attitude. Instead, he introduced the last fox, "This one is Youyou, and it's very cute too. It's a bit shy around people."
Fang Ye picked up Youyou, who was a little timid, and showcased him to the viewers. Youyou's small paws dangled as he blinked his watery eyes, looking adorable.
"The fox is so beautiful and has a soft and cute appearance!"
"The fox in black fur, I love it!"
"It's so cute and pitiful. I just want to cuddle it and spoil it!"
"Let's make a screenshot for an emoji pack: 'Cuteness of Life.'"
"What a talented idea!"
Fang Ye softly combed Youyou's fur with a specialized brush, explaining, "You might notice that when I touch his fur, some hairs get stuck in my hand. This is because they are currently shedding their fur. So today, our main task is to groom the red foxes and help them go through the shedding period comfortably and healthily."
"I noticed that the sugar bag's fur isn't as shiny, and I thought it was due to it rolling around or not eating well."
"What about the feisty one? Can you even give it a bath?"
Fang Ye chuckled and replied, "It's a bit challenging, but not impossible. We'll save Xiao Qiao for last."
Xiao He picked up the plump Prince, who had been napping like a content watermelon. The Prince initially grumbled in protest when awakened, but he quickly perked up at the sight of snacks and accepted the grooming with a happy flick of his tail.
The sugar bag responded with joyful squeals as it was pampered. However, all attention turned to Xiao Qiao, who was left for last.
Fang Ye prepared for the challenging task and began to approach Xiao Qiao cautiously. Netizens were curious about how he would handle this grumpy fox.
"Will you use food as bait?"
"That might work for the Prince, who's a foodie, but I doubt it'll work for Xiao Qiao."
"You might need to be firm, but not too forceful."
"I have a cat at home, and I have to hold it down when giving it a bath. It runs away as soon as I let go!"
"I read that foxes have scent glands. Like a weasel, they might release a scent when threatened. If you're too forceful, it might end up being a smelly situation!"
"Scent glands or not, beautiful girls don't fart!"
The netizens speculated on how Fang Ye would manage the reluctant Xiao Qiao.
"Firmness? That won't work! Today, I'm going to teach you how to make friends with animals!" Fang Ye declared with a sly smile and broke into song.
"Xiao Qiao, your silver fur shines like the moon~"
Netizens were left baffled.
"Your singing is quite melodious!"
"But what are you trying to do with that song?"
Fang Ye continued to sing, determined to overcome the challenges posed by the grumpy fox.
