Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

The well water was clear and clean, and warm enough to touch, it warmed him.

His movements paused again.

Then, he lowered his eyes and still said nothing.

It was as if he didn't notice these strange things.

I washed my hands and wiped them with a dry towel.

He walked into the house and picked up the soft and beautiful fox on the bed.

Rubbing it, the corners of his lips slightly curved.

"Little raccoon."

"...ouch?"

The fox twitched its ears and the tip of its tail waggled vaguely.

The colors are bright and eye-catching.

The young man held it, curled his lips, and said nothing.

It seems that he just wants to call it.

He rubbed its belly, then hugged it and sat at the table.

Open the book that Mr. Xuetang gave him and turn to the first page.

Holding the fox in his arms, he pressed his head against it and spoke softly.

"Shall we read a book together?"

"The teacher said that as long as I finish studying this book, I can go to him."

"When the time comes, I'll take you to the school to play, okay?"

He really seemed like a crazy person at the moment, talking to a fox anytime and anywhere.

Even if the fox might not understand, he was just talking to himself.

As if completely immersed in his own world.

The picture looked a little weird for a while.

The fox sat on his lap and growled.

The big tail curled up quietly on his belly.

When his eyes fell on the book, he tilted his head.

This is……

"Three Character Classic"?

"..."

Its ears immediately drooped and it leaned against him, feeling a little bored.

"Woo~"

boring.

As if he understood what it was saying, the young man kissed its ear softly and emphasized.

"I will soon be able to read interesting books, after I learn all the words."

"My husband said that as long as I can learn the words in this book, I can understand many books."

"When the time comes, we can watch whatever you want to see together, okay?"

He always liked the word "together."

We have to do everything together.

The fox's heart softened.

"Ouch~"

It didn't say anything more, just raised its head and licked him.

He suddenly rolled his eyes and hugged it tightly.

His hand covered its soft belly, rubbing it from time to time.

"Good little raccoon."

"...Ouch."

It's not good.

I just have to accommodate him.

The fox chatted in every possible way. He had read and copied the "Three Character Classic" before, so he had no interest in it.

But if he wants to look, it can only look.

I was a little distracted for a while.

The young man watched slowly but also carefully.

While hugging this big heater, I was quiet.

After reading one page, turn the page.

Pay close attention and look down at it from time to time.

"Xiao Li, are you sleepy?"

"...Ouch~"

Sleepy.

The boy smiled and rubbed it.

"Then go to sleep, don't worry, I won't throw you."

Meaning, he won't let it go and let it go to bed just yet.

"..."

The fox was listless.

Unable to defeat him, it had to find a comfortable position in his arms.

"Ouch~"

I fell asleep~

It didn't forget to talk to him before going to bed.

The boy rubbed its ears and said, "Go to sleep, good fox."

The fox rubbed his palm and closed his eyes.

Fell asleep.

Heartless.

The boy held it and continued reading.

While gently stroking its back, he browsed quietly.

No more words were spoken.

The room was completely quiet.

There was only the faint sound of turning books from time to time.

Page, and page.
