The Seductive Wife Kisses and Teases While His Black-Bellied Childhood Friend Spoils Him Crazy - Chapter 4

He recalled the past in his dreams.

During their childhood, the two of them were neighbors. Their homes were small villas separated only by a single perimeter wall.

Jiang Ningxun was a tiny thing back then, a sly little fox.

He would poke his small head out of the second-floor window, his soft red ears twitching. In a milky voice, he would call out, “Brother Song! Brother Song!”

A moment later, the window of the house opposite would swing open. Before Song Shidu himself appeared, a small wolf tail would pop out, followed by a leg. In the next second, Song Shidu would use a bedsheet to skillfully—and then—

He crashed onto the ground.

Song Shidu stood up as if nothing had happened. Without even brushing the dust off his clothes, he scaled the perimeter wall like he was crossing a mountain range.

Then, he landed right on his backside again.

It was like a series of obstacle courses. From the second floor, Jiang Ningxun cried out anxiously, “Be careful! You have to be careful!”

After this frantic display, Song Shidu’s little face was covered in dirt. He stood below the window with an expressionless face and opened his arms. “Jump.”

Jiang Ningxun’s family was quite strict with him and locked the doors whenever they went out. However, he was a restless little fox who always snuck out to play with Song Shidu.

Song Shidu was the same; he would head out to find Jiang Ningxun the moment he finished dinner. Once they met, they ran wild, heading either to the waterfront or crowded areas. Their behavior eventually scared both sets of parents into coming up with a plan: locking them both inside their respective homes.

That was how this scene came to be.

As for how they would get back, the two toddlers had not given it a single thought.

Song Shidu had been tested with an Alpha constitution at birth, so he was much more resilient to falls than Jiang Ningxun.

Upstairs, Jiang Ningxun hesitated. Mimicking Song Shidu’s technique, he pulled down his bedsheet, the one with the Pleasant Goat pattern, tied it to a pillar, and leaped down.

Song Shidu had excellent vision. He frowned and shouted, “No! You tied it wrong! Do not jump!”

However, Jiang Ningxun had already jumped. Sure enough, the sheet slipped. He went tumbling down, but fortunately, he had already descended halfway before Song Shidu caught him firmly.

The two little kids rolled several times on the ground.

Song Shidu held him tightly, panicking. “How are you? Where does it hurt?”

To his surprise, the little fox beside him burst into laughter. His left ear stood straight up while his right ear flopped down. He bared his little canine teeth, looking cuter the more he laughed. “That was so exciting! Brother Song, I want to do it again!”

Seeing that he was perfectly fine, Song Shidu grew annoyed and flicked his forehead. “You have the nerve to laugh? Why were you so impulsive?”

Jiang Ningxun rubbed his head, looking at him piteously. “I was just in a hurry to see you.”

Seeing that Song Shidu’s anger had not subsided, Jiang Ningxun acted even more pathetic. His watery eyes welled with tears as he pointed at Song Shidu’s leg. “My tail is being pressed by you. It hurts so much.”

At this, Song Shidu immediately jumped up in a fright. Sure enough, he had been pinning that soft little tail. Jiang Ningxun sat there, cradling his tail and burying his face in the fur, trembling.

“I am sorry. I did not mean to. I…” Song Shidu was in such a flustered state he did not know what to do.

In the next second, Jiang Ningxun bounded up and gave him a scare. “Wah!”

Song Shidu froze. Realizing he had been tricked, he said helplessly, “You, really. You only do this because you know I am easy to fool.”

Jiang Ningxun giggled and pulled his hand, rushing toward the courtyard exit. “Go, go, go! Let us go buy ice cream!”

Suddenly, he remembered something. Oh no!

They had not brought any money!

The two children stood there, looking up at the height of the second floor.

Between going back for money or giving up on the ice cream, they chose to get it for free.

Standing in front of the ice cream truck, Jiang Ningxun radiated a pitiful aura. His fox tail drooped dejectedly, and his eyes were full of innocent purity. The owner simply could not find it in his heart to refuse.

He generously gave the two children two chocolate ice cream cones.

Jiang Ningxun was the main force behind this, responsible for acting cute and charming, while Song Shidu was responsible for covering his face and keeping watch.

There was no such thing as begging for food in the Wolf tribe. They were not like those fat, egg-yolk pie wolves from Hoh Xil.

Jiang Ningxun stuffed an ice cream into Song Shidu’s hand. “Eat it, eat it! It is delicious. The owner brother is so nice; I will definitely come every day!”

“Of course, next time we must bring money.”

“Mhm.” Song Shidu rubbed Jiang Ningxun’s fluffy ears, and they walked together under the sun, eating their ice cream.

Since they were young, Song Shidu had especially loved touching his ears. Since becoming lovers, he felt like something was missing if he did not touch them for even a single day.

A few years later, Jiang Ningxun reached the stage of losing his baby teeth.

“Ouch!” Once, he fell face-first onto the ground, and a front tooth went flying out.

Song Shidu, who was walking ahead, noticed immediately. He turned back and helped him up. Jiang Ningxun, the little dummy, just grinned, revealing a dark gap where his front teeth used to be. Both of his front teeth were gone.

When he spoke, the air leaked through. “Sss, my mouth feels so cold!”

He opened his mouth wide, looking down to try and find the lost tooth.

“Look up.”

Hearing Song Shidu’s flat voice, Jiang Ningxun reflexively looked up.

Click!

Song Shidu had actually used his phone to capture a photo of him missing his two front teeth.

Jiang Ningxun’s eyes instantly wobbled like steamed eggs. He burst into tears, thumping Song Shidu’s chest. “Waaa! You are not allowed to take pictures!”

Click, click!

Jiang Ningxun’s face puffed up with rage.

Song Shidu took several more photos in succession, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. “So cute.”

His usual tactic was to act first and apologize later, but when he turned around, the little fox was already heading home alone, still crying.

The consequence was that he did not see a trace of Jiang Ningxun for several days.

It was not until Jiang Ningxun’s front teeth grew back that Song Shidu saw him again.

Song Shidu proactively handed over his phone and said sincerely, “Look, I have deleted them all.”

Jiang Ningxun looked through the album. It was filled with moments of them playing together, and there were no more ugly photos of him missing teeth. Like a queen, he said reluctantly, “Fine then. We will not break off our friendship.”

“Mhm!” Song Shidu was very happy to finally touch those soft fox ears again after several months. He had finally managed to coax him back.

Since Jiang Ningxun’s two fathers had not bought him a phone yet, he had no idea that there was such a thing as a secondary encrypted space.

Song Shidu had stored all those ugly photos in there.

They attended the same elementary school, middle school, high school, and even university.

One would think they would remain inseparable.

Until the day they entered university, when everything changed.

They say school is a miniature society, so it was only natural to expand one’s social network.

By the age of 18, Jiang Ningxun’s appearance was quite striking. With the features of a Red Fox, he quickly stood out among the new students. He attracted many gazes upon enrollment, and because of his good temperament, he was rarely seen angry.

Consequently, his popularity was very high.

“Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, help me with this assignment! I do not know how to do it!”

“Hey buddy, there is a freshman party tonight. Do you want to go together?”

“Wow! Another Omega sent you a love letter? I am so jealous. If you were an Alpha, who knows how popular you would be!”

“Holy crap! Someone put your photo online, and it went viral! If you became a streamer, you would definitely make a fortune!”

Jiang Ningxun made many friends. Two-thirds of the students in his department had spoken to him. Every day, before and after class, he was surrounded by people. He handled it with ease, but in his busyness, he neglected one person.

Song Shidu had sent several WeChat messages: [Ningxun, the weather is nice. Walk with me to the sports field after class?]

Twenty minutes later.

Jiang Ningxun hurriedly sent a voice message: “Oh, I promised a friend I would attend a club activity. I do not have time today.”

The voice message was noisy, with voices urging Jiang Ningxun to hurry up.

Song Shidu: [Mhm. We will talk tomorrow then.]

The next day.

Song Shidu sent a photo of the sun-drenched sports field: [Ningxun, I am waiting for you here.]

An hour passed.

Jiang Ningxun made a video call. He laughed and said, “Wow, it looks great. I have not sunbathed my tail in a long time. But the teacher suddenly sent me and some classmates to buy supplies. I am already out of the school gates. How about another day?”

On the other side of the video, Song Shidu remained silent for a long time. He pointed the phone screen toward the cheerful, laughing sports field, then back to his own calm profile. He sat alone on the bench without saying a word.

Jiang Ningxun’s heart softened instantly. He said soothingly, “Really, I promise! I will definitely accompany you tomorrow! I swear, okay? Both hands and my tail!”

Song Shidu finally gave a satisfied smile. “Fine. We will meet here tomorrow.”

But he broke the promise again.

Jiang Ningxun sent him a WeChat message with a kneeling and begging for mercy emoji: [Today’s schedule is full; our breaks do not align. When I am in class, you are resting, and when you are resting, I am in class. Good Shidu, how about tomorrow?]

Song Shidu: [No need. It will rain tomorrow.]

Jiang Ningxun: [I will take a leave of absence! Since starting school, the time you and I spend together has indeed decreased a lot. I will take a leave to accompany you, okay? Biubiu.]

But Song Shidu did not reply. It was not until 21:00 that he sent a single sentence: [I had a fever today. I just woke up after sleeping for a long time.]

Jiang Ningxun: [Ah?! I did not know. Is it serious? Did you take medicine?]

Song Shidu: [Jiang Ningxun, you have ignored me for a long time.]
