Chapter 143: The Little Fox Spirit’s Scheme to Win Over the Movie Star and Skyrocket to Fame (1)
Pei Yu’s expression was blank, his face hidden behind sunglasses, radiating an aura of cold arrogance.
Xiao Zhang, his chubby assistant, hurried over from behind. Upon seeing the Little Fox rubbing against Pei Yu’s leg, he let out a squeal:
“Wow! An fennec fox! So cute!!”[footnote] 
[/footnote]
Hearing this, the Little Fox, Jiang Luoluo, rubbed his fluffy tail even more vigorously against Pei Yu’s ankle.
Pei Yu remained expressionless, his handsome face scowling fiercely.
The assistant cautiously suggested, “Brother Pei, let’s take it with us! This Little Fox is so small, and the film set is crowded. We don’t want someone to accidentally step on it.”
Pei Yu: “Dirty. I’m not taking it.”
Jiang Luoluo, having been called “dirty” for the first time, bristled with indignation, his large ears standing straight up as he glared at Pei Yu.
*I’m not dirty at all!*
The System had shown him his reflection: a fluffy, snow-white ball of fur, with only a little dust on his paws. He was clearly adorable!
*That dog of a man, Pei Yu!*
Furious, the Little Fox propped up his tail and circled Pei Yu’s ankle, mischievously rubbing the dust from his paws onto the actor’s leg.
Assistant Xiao Zhang’s eyes sparkled with adoration as he watched the Little Fox circling and nuzzling against Pei Yu’s feet.
*What taste Brother Pei has!*
*This Little Fox is absolutely adorable!*
A minute later, the Little Fox, deemed too dirty, had its tail lifted by Pei Yu. It hung upside down, its tiny head bobbing with Pei Yu’s every step.
At the film set, the Director glanced at what Pei Yu was carrying.
Long ears, a round head, and a fluffy tail—the Little Fox was pure white, likely a gift from a fan.
Before he could look away, the Little Fox kicked its tiny paws and let out a soft, milky “squeak, squeak, squeak.”
The Director was stunned.
Pei Yu followed his gaze and gently placed the Little Fox back in his palm. His slender fingers ran through its fluffy fur as he said with a hint of displeasure, “Move again, and I’ll throw you away.”
The Little Fox in his palm squeaked softly, hugging its large tail to show it was being good.
Pei Yu’s cold expression softened slightly. He cradled the Little Fox in his palm and turned to the Director. “Director, when do we shoot my scene?”
The Director was even more stunned.
Who didn’t know Pei Yu had a phobia of dirt? Yet here he was, cradling a small animal with muddy paws in his hands!
Seeing the Director’s stunned expression, Pei Yu frowned in displeasure. He removed his sunglasses with a finger, his ink-black eyes fixed intently on the Director.
Witnessing this, the assistant quickly reminded, “Director, Brother Pei came so early today. Can we shoot his scene earlier?”
The Director immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, of course! Let’s shoot it earlier!”
Without a word, Pei Yu turned his gaze away from the Director and strode directly to the makeup room, the assistant hurrying after him.
The Director quickly followed with arrangements.
Born into an aristocratic family with a distinguished lineage, the Pei Family held immense power. A mere gesture from them could send the entertainment industry trembling. Who dared to offend Pei Yu?
Moreover, he had just won the Golden Tiger Award for Best Actor, the most prestigious honor in the industry. The Director wouldn’t dare contradict him.
Even if it were already noon, or even if Pei Yu wanted to film late into the night, the Director would still have to smile, offer tea, and cater to his every whim to keep him happy.
Inside the makeup room, actors and staff greeted Pei Yu respectfully. He nodded faintly and then sat down in front of the vanity, closing his eyes.
The little girl in charge of makeup nervously pulled out the foundation, praying she wouldn’t make a mistake.
She’d heard from others that Pei Yu was difficult to deal with and had a terrible temper.
Within ten meters of him, no one survived.
Even Fang Yan, a pretty idol, had been beaten up for confessing his feelings to Pei Yu.
Clearly, Pei Yu was incredibly brutal!
The little girl trembled with fear, but Pei Yu cooperated, closing his eyes and remaining perfectly still.
A damp, sticky sensation spread across his face. Pei Yu frowned slightly, and his assistant, who had been following behind, let out a startled cry: “What are you doing?!”
The makeup artist’s hand shook, and a large blob of foundation smeared across Pei Yu’s face.
Pei Yu opened his eyes and glared at the person in the mirror, his brow furrowing in displeasure.
Pei Yu was of mixed heritage, with prominent brow ridges and deep, narrow double eyelids. His eyes were as dark and impenetrable as ink, and when he lowered his eyebrows in disapproval, the pressure he exuded was overwhelming.
The makeup artist cowered, unsure what she had done wrong but too terrified to move.
“Are you new here?! Don’t you know Brother Pei never uses foundation? And look at this shade! Is it even right? Where’s the makeup artist? Get someone else!!”
The assistant, firing off a rapid stream of accusations while removing Pei Yu’s foundation, was quickly interrupted by the manager, who rushed over to apologize. “I’m so sorry, Teacher Pei. This makeup artist is new. I’ll get a new one here right away!”
Pei Yu glanced at the manager in the mirror. His perfectly sculpted features were flawless.
“Male or female?”
The manager hesitated, a hint of guilt in his voice. “Male…”
It was said that homosexuality was common in the entertainment industry, but it was even more prevalent among makeup artists. Nine out of ten male makeup artists were gay.
Pei Yu, however, was staunchly heterosexual, bordering on homophobic.
When he first entered the industry, he was relentlessly pursued by various desperate bottoms, some even sneaking into his room in short skirts and fox tails, hoping for a one-night stand. Disgusted, Pei Yu had grabbed the offender by the collar and thrown them out, simultaneously blacklisting them from the industry.
Since then, everyone knew Pei Yu’s aversion, and when assigning staff for his work, they always took extra care.
Pei Yu frowned, his fingers stroking the Little Fox’s tail. He nodded towards the female makeup artist, his voice flat.
“You do it.”
The little girl, her head bowed in shock, pointed at herself. But Pei Yu had already closed his eyes again.
She quickly took several deep breaths, gratefully accepting the makeup remover pad.
Based on the earlier situation, the director’s gaze had been as sharp as a knife, scraping across her. She’d felt certain she was about to be fired.
To her surprise, Pei Yu had given her another chance.
So the rumors were wrong after all. Pei Yu’s temper wasn’t as bad as they said!
Witnessing this, the Little Fox Jiang Luoluo twitched his large ears and sighed inwardly:
*I’m not going to regain human form.*
*If Pei Yu hates men so much, how am I supposed to get close to him?*
*Let alone win him over!*
The System also fretted, but offered Jiang Luoluo some well-intentioned encouragement:
【Don’t lose heart! You’re so beautiful. Maybe just showing your face will be enough to turn him gay!】
The Little Fox sighed, his fluffy little head nuzzling against Pei Yu’s fingers in a melancholy way.
Pei Yu, his eyes closed, kept his fingers slightly curved, the joints distinct. In the palm of his hand, the Little Fox nuzzled and rubbed against each of his fingers.
“Find out who lost this and return it,” Pei Yu said coldly.
Xiao Zhang replied, then asked, “What if we can’t find the owner?”
“Brother Pei, why don’t we get a cage for it? And buy some pet treats. You can take it home.”
The Little Fox perked up its ears and began eavesdropping, clutching its finger.
Pei Yu glanced at the furtive Little Fox. “If we can’t find the owner, just let it go.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Little Fox chirped twice, then bit down on his fingertip, its sharp teeth grinding against the skin in a threatening gesture.
Pei Yu: “Dare to bite me? I’ll throw you in the trash right now.”
The Little Fox in his palm seemed to understand. It retracted its teeth and wagged its fluffy tail in a placating manner.
Xiao Zhang exclaimed in surprise, “It seems to understand human speech!”
The Little Fox, Jiang Luoluo, silently pressed down his twitching tail.
Once his makeup was done, Pei Yu stuffed the Little Fox into his assistant’s bag and went off to film.
The world suddenly shrank. The Little Fox struggled to get out, so he simply curled up and took a nap inside.
When he woke up, a hand was reaching into the bag, pinching his neck, and lifting him out.
A faint male voice nearby asked, “Teacher Pei, the investors are hosting a gathering tonight. Are you going?”
Suddenly, the room brightened. The Little Fox stretched languidly, its fluffy tail brushing against Pei Yu’s wrist.
The speaker was the assistant director.
Pei Yu still wore his usual expression—as if the world owed him three million yuan—and stared at the Little Fox, eye to eye. “No.”
“Teacher Pei, since you’re free anyway, why don’t you—”
“Not free. I’m very busy.”
Pei Yu coldly refused. “I have to spend time with my son.”
The makeup room fell silent. No one dared to breathe.
Pei Yu didn’t even have a girlfriend!
How could he have a son?!
The crew exchanged glances, eyebrows flying in disbelief.
The assistant director hadn’t expected such a response. He forced a dry laugh. “Teacher Pei, you must be joking. Where did you get a son from?”
Xiao Zhang, equally bewildered about how Brother Pei had suddenly acquired a son, turned pale.
Pei Yu gently stroked the Little Fox’s snow-white ears in his palm, his deep voice slightly lowered:
“Good boy, Daddy’s taking you home.”
Jiang Luoluo, who had been all ears for gossip, exclaimed, “!!!”
*Useless trash can when nothing’s happening, obedient son when there’s trouble!*
*That dog of a man, he’s so wicked!!*
***
Little Fox Jiang Luoluo followed Pei Yu home.
The palm-sized fox stood in the 800-square-meter riverside penthouse, excitedly clutching its tail, finding the house terrifyingly large.
After Pei Yu returned, he set the fox down and disappeared.
Xiao Zhang opened a bag of pet treats, intending to pick up the Little Fox and feed it. But when he turned around, the fox was gone.
The missing Little Fox had reappeared by the outdoor swimming pool, its round head cocked as it watched the man in the water.
Narrow waist, broad shoulders, long legs, sculpted chest, defined abs, and a perfect V-line.
Water droplets trickled down his well-defined muscles, highlighting their masculine beauty and power. And then there was Pei Yu’s face—so handsome it was almost demonic.
He ran a large hand through his hair, pushing it back. The silver-gray strands, now wet, darkened slightly and obediently fell back.
The Little Fox hid behind a vase, staring blankly at Pei Yu.
I don’t know if it was because his round body was poorly hidden or because Pei Yu’s gaze was too sharp, but with a sudden “splash,” Pei Yu emerged from the pool and began walking toward them.
Jiang Luoluo, clutching Little Fox, stared blankly at Pei Yu as he approached. He couldn’t help but notice the bulge beneath Pei Yu’s waist and abdomen, and he chirped frantically to the System:
“Pei Yu… he’s terrifying!”
Pei Yu bent down and picked him up, his dark eyes thoughtful. “Were you spying on me?”
Jiang Luoluo pretended not to understand and turned his little head away.
Xiao Zhang’s voice called out from nearby, “Brother Pei, someone’s here!”
Pei Yu nodded, pulled on a pair of black shorts, and started walking out. He casually stuffed the Little Fox into his pocket.
The world went dark. The Little Fox, clutching his tail, stared in terror at the object near his head—
“If Pei Yu can call a fluffy white fox dirty and still take him home…
Surely you can toss your translator a Ko-fi, right? ☕🦊💔”
