The sunshine in June is passionate, piercing through the layers of fish-scale clouds, and unreservedly spreading light and heat to the world.

Compared with the high temperature of 36 degrees outside, Wonderful Fruit Store is as cool as another world.

But Yonago, who was sitting in the air-conditioned room, was still sweating.

Not hot, but tense.

It's 2:55 p.m., less than five minutes before her first job interview of her life begins.

"Miss, please drink some peanut soup first, our boss will be here soon." Zhang Chao served a bowl of iced peanut soup. This is a new product launched by Wonderful Fruit Store, which is very popular among women.

"Thank you." Yonago, with blushing cheeks, bowed his head and whispered thanks, his voice comparable to that of a mosquito.

Zhang Chao had never seen such a shy person before, and he wondered: Is this young lady really suitable for working in a fruit shop?

Yonago also felt that his performance was terrible, extremely frustrated, and even began to doubt whether his decision to apply for the job was right or not.

But it was too late for her to give up, because the interviewer came.

Seeing Xuan Chu, she jumped up from the chair nervously, her hands and feet were so cramped that she didn't know where to put them.

Xuan Chu smiled: "Don't be nervous, sit down, just treat it as a chat, don't imagine it's scary."

His smile had a soothing effect, Yonago gradually calmed down.

"Did you drink the peanut soup? How do you like the taste?" Xuan Chu really didn't mention anything related to the interview.

Yonago was stunned. She had rehearsed the problems she might encounter during the interview many times before, but she never thought that she would encounter such a situation.

She carefully recalled: "Sweet, but not the kind of sweetness with too much sugar. It is very fresh and fragrant, and the soup is thicker, like peanuts boiled and melted in the soup. It is very cold. drink."

Seeing Xuan Chu was looking at her with a smile all the time, she blushed, lowered her head and murmured: "This is my personal feeling, it's not very good."

"No, you spoke very well." Xuan Chu smiled.

This is not a polite word. He interviewed for a whole day today, and found that the Xiaomi girl in front of him has the strongest perception of food, which is very rare—to become a good operator, one must first understand the products he sells very well. Products, in order to persuade others to buy.

He gradually had an idea in his mind.

"Your resume says that you are good at painting?" Xuan Chu looked very interested, "Can you take a look at your works?"

Yonago nodded vigorously.She is introverted by nature, but she is full of confidence in painting, which she is good at.

"The drawing is very good." Xuan Chu handed her the phone back, without hesitating his praise.

But without waiting for Yonago to smile, he changed the topic again: "But the position you are applying for now may not be suitable for you."

"...I understand." Yonago took a deep breath.

Disappointment is inevitable, but she didn't feel very surprised, because she had expected this result a long time ago.

She smiled wryly, sure enough, she is still not very suitable for contacting people.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Chu said again: "However, we can set up a new media post for you, and you will be responsible for operating the new media account of our store. Would you like to?"

Yonago: "...!"

Xuan Chu said again: "The treatment may not be as good as the operation of some companies outside, but don't worry, the five insurances and one housing fund will definitely be paid for you. As for your office location, it is temporarily in this office, although it is small point, but usually no one comes in here..."

"I, I am willing!" Yonago said loudly.

Before she finished speaking, she blushed, not daring to look at Xuan Chu.

Xuan Chu smiled and reached out to her: "Welcome to Wonderful Fruit Store."

***

The recruitment finally determined two new employees, Yonago was in charge of operating the new media account, and another boy named Sun Lang cooperated with Zhang Chao to take charge of the rest of the store.

Soon, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that the operation of the fruit shop seemed to have changed.

The new skin is probably a young lady, who not only speaks softly, but also draws pictures.

She matched each fruit sold in the fruit shop with watercolor paintings. Her gentle brushstrokes and bright colors attracted many passers-by and inadvertently further expanded the reputation of the fruit shop.

Zhang Chao didn't quite understand why the boss hired Yonago, and felt that her personality was not suitable for the work of the fruit shop.

It wasn't until this new colleague's fruit illustrations gained nearly [-] followers on the Weibo account of the fruit shop in just a few days that he was completely convinced.

Or the boss will see people.he thought admiringly.

Yonago is also very satisfied with his new job.

Having a job means that she doesn't have to listen to her family's nagging anymore, and she doesn't have to rely on the company to pay the five social insurances and one housing fund by herself, and she has more opportunities to contact the outside world.

She stayed in that small office during working hours, and no one disturbed her, which gave her a strong sense of security.

The content of work is also what she likes and is good at. When she is tired, she can eat fresh fruit and drink fruit tea to replenish energy.

Another very important point -

There are cats in the store!

The little cat named Brown Sugar is so cute. The little guy seems to be very interested in her painting tools, and quietly stretches his paws towards the paint tray. When she finds out, his paws are already stained with various watercolors.

Brown Tang found that the paint couldn't be removed, and cried out in anxiety.

With an idea, Yonago spread out a piece of white paper and hugged brown sugar onto the paper.

After a while, a painting with a cat's paw printed on it was freshly released, and a lot of the paint on Brown Sugar's paw was rubbed off.

Not to mention, kittens are quite artistic. The paw prints on the "Cat's Paw Picture" are well-proportioned, and the shades are natural and interesting.

Later, Yonago made a video of this cat "painting" scene and uploaded it to the Internet, attracting a large number of netizens to repost and like it.

Brown Tang doesn't know that he has made great contributions to the Wonderful Fruit Store. He eats and sleeps as usual, fights wits with the wool ball as usual, and competes with the cat teaser.

Maybe it's because he has always been very healthy and energetic, and no one thought that he would get sick for no reason.

Yonago was the first to discover the abnormality of brown sugar.

This introverted girl loves cats despite her fear of being with people.The first thing she does after work every day, and the last thing before she leaves work, is to come and see Brown Sugar.

After the fruit shop closed that day, she came to find Brown Tang as usual, wanting to say goodbye to him.

Unexpectedly, he saw brown sugar lying listlessly under the container, and the naked eye could see that he was in a bad state of mind.

Yonago's panicked cry attracted others.

"Why is brown sugar like this, is it sick?" Zhang Chao wondered.

Brown Tang was lying limply on his stomach, and when he sensed the crowd approaching, he tried to get up, but fell to the ground again due to exhaustion.

Xuan Chu hurriedly reached out to pick up Brown Tang, his skin touched the cat's fur, and he couldn't help frowning tightly.

It's so hot, it's like a fire!

"Boss, Brown Tang seems to be seriously ill, do you want to send him to the hospital?" Yonago asked with distress.

Sun Lang hurriedly said: "There is a pet hospital nearby, I can lead the way."

He just finished speaking, only to hear the roar explode in his ears, and the lights above his head flickered.

Several people were startled by the thunder.

"It's strange, the front is obviously fine, why did it suddenly thunder?" Zhang Chao leaned out and looked up at the sky.

At some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and electric light shuttled through the clouds, not only did not bring light, but added a trace of terrifying atmosphere.

"It's going to rain soon, you guys should go back quickly." Xuan Chu said.

"But brown sugar..." Yonago hesitated.

The little cat doesn't seem to be doing well, and she really can't let it go.

Xuanchu settled down: "Don't worry, I have a pet doctor I know, I will bring brown sugar to him."

There was another thunder, and Xuan Chu urged again: "The rain is probably quite heavy, if you don't go back, you won't be able to go back."

The three had no choice but to leave.

After sending the shop assistants away, Xuan Chu heaved a sigh of relief.

The so-called veterinarian he knew was just an excuse, even if it was true, he couldn't find the other person to treat Brown Tang.

Because he knew that brown sugar was not sick at all.If you guessed correctly, the little cat demon should have encountered an evolutionary period.

The monster race will encounter an evolutionary period before they officially reach adulthood, and only through this stage successfully can the monster power be improved by leaps and bounds, and it can be regarded as a big monster in the true sense.

When encountering the evolution period, the Yaozu will become extremely weak.At this time, any little stimulation will have a fatal impact on them.

Brown Tang closed his eyes, his whole body was limp, he couldn't help making uncomfortable moans, his body was astonishingly hot.

Layers of dark clouds pressed down in the sky, and the sound of thunder became louder and louder, making people upset.

A thin layer of sweat broke out from the tip of Xuan Chu's nose.

The most urgent task is to protect Brown Sugar and help him pass through the evolutionary period safely.

But he has no experience in taking care of little demons in the evolutionary stage, so he is not sure that he will be able to help Brown Sugar survive smoothly.

In this case, it can only be...

A distorted lightning bolt spanned the entire sky, making the light in his eyes flickering.

The roaring thunder came one after another, and the earth trembled.

In his arms, the breath of the black cat became weaker and weaker.

Xuanchu no longer hesitated, summoned the door leading to Qingqiu, and strode in.

The moment his figure disappeared inside the door, the thunder stopped abruptly, and the torrential rain finally fell.

***

The Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, which has been isolated from the world all year round, is a rare race whose inheritance has never been broken.

For example, Qingqiu has a very famous Library Pavilion, which houses countless classics from ancient times to the present, and almost everything that happened since the creation of Pangu can be found there.

Originated from a long history, the Nine-Tailed Fox family also has rich experience in raising babies, and all the fox cubs raised are white, fat, cute, healthy and strong.

Therefore, when Brown Sugar showed the evolutionary symptoms of physical weakness and fever, Xuanchu's first thought was to return to Qingqiu for help.

Brown sugar is the first foreigner (demon) to enter Qingqiu in the past few hundred years.

With his life at stake, Xuan Chu hurried to Qingqiu with brown sugar in his arms, regardless of Shangqingqiu's rules that no outsiders are allowed to enter without authorization.

Unlike Tianhai City, which was thundering and lightning, Qingqiu was still a scene of sunshine, warmth, flowers blooming and years of tranquility.

Above the head is the blue sky that only exists in fairy tales, the green grass is endless under the feet, and the rolling mountains are farther away.

The first to discover Xuan Chu was a group of young fox cubs playing on the grass, laughing, shouting, and crowded towards him lively.

"Brother Xuanchu, you are back! Today seems to be earlier than before."

A snow-white hair ball grabbed Xuanchu's calf, raised its head and said cutely: "Brother Xuanchu, I want to hug you!"

The sharp-eyed fox cub noticed the darkness in Xuan Chu's arms, and asked curiously, "Brother Xuan Chu, what is that?"

Now, the Nine-Tailed Foxes were all focused on Brown Tang, chatting about it.

"This is not a nine-tailed fox."

"Nonsense, he only has one tail and it's black, how could it be a nine-tailed fox?"

Xuanchu explained: "This is a cat demon."

This group of little nine-tailed foxes had never left Qingqiu, nor had they ever seen monster races other than the nine-tailed fox with their own eyes. They had only seen cat demons in books.

"It turns out that the cat demon looks like this." A fox cub tilted his head and gnawed his fingers, "The horns on his head are so special."

"Nonsense, where did the cat monster get the horns? Did you read it wrong?" Xuan Chu laughed dumbly, and inadvertently lowered his head to glance at his eyes, his face changed drastically in an instant, and he was dumbfounded.

"What, what's going on?" He stared in shock at the black horns that suddenly appeared on the top of Brown Tang's forehead, wondering if he might be hallucinating.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and gently touched the small horn like a new tree bud with his fingertips. It was tender and soft, and the touch could not be more real.

Could it be that there is a cat demon in this world with long horns on its head?

He was lost in thought.

Sensing a strange aura, the elder of the fox clan who rushed over quickly saw this scene, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and took a deep breath.

Brown Sugar: I have horns on my head~ I have a tail behind me~ No one knows~ How many secrets I have~
