Chapter 32 – Voting Part 1
He Yunzhou might not care about Le Chengzhe, but Lou Ting couldn’t afford that luxury. Moreover, he was only speculating based on the interests involved and had no evidence to back it up. Rushing to confront Le Chengzhe would only lead to him suffering in the end. Even if Le Chengzhe suffered a loss initially, the online public opinion would eventually belittle him completely.
Better to be cautious.

“Nsw Mkdt…”
The little fox landed on the ground, lightly tapping his right leg on the floor, “Ao-woo!” No, there’s no evidence.
He Yunzhou tightly clenched the iron rod in his hand and stared at the little fox.
The little fox shook his head at him, indicating that it was really impossible.
Seeing this, He Yunzhou fell silent for a moment and said, “I won’t interfere in this matter for now, but if you can’t make that person face the appropriate punishment, I’ll take care of him.”
“Ah-woo.” It was settled.
The little fox lifted his chin in a defiant manner, “Ao-woo.” Where did the iron rod come from?
He Yunzhou explained, “The laundry pole fell, and I didn’t have a chance to put it back up.” When he had thought of using force just now, he had considered this item. Hitting someone was one thing, but the main purpose was to show intimidation. With one swing of the rod, even without injuring anyone, it would be enough to scare them.
“Ao-woo.” Put it back.
“Yes.” He Yunzhou placed the rod back on the balcony.
The little fox stayed crouched in place and let out an “Ao-woo,” looking silly.
The little fox then turned his head, intending to jump onto the bed. However, when he looked up, he happened to see the image of the pointed wild-eared fox in the mirror.
The pointed wild-eared fox was not big in size, squatting not far from the mirror, with its two front paws neatly placed in front of it. Its fluffy tail covered its paws, swaying from time to time, exceptionally cute.
But… cute as it was, the little fox gazed at the row of white-framed ears above his head and fell into silence.
“Ao?” What is this?
After he spoke, a string of words automatically appeared in his mind: “What is this?”
Lou Ting: “???”
“He Yunzhou!” Lou Ting quickly transformed back into his human form, and at this point, the translation text on his head disappeared.
“What’s wrong?” He Yunzhou heard the voice from the balcony and hurriedly ran out to see Lou Ting standing there. He asked, “Is your foot hurting?”
Lou Ting pointed to the top of his head and asked, “What was that? Why did I have words on my head when I spoke in beast form?” At this moment, Lou Ting finally realized that he had been communicating with He Yunzhou in his beast form, which was why He Yunzhou could understand the fox’s calls. It turned out that his head automatically provided translations, making it understandable to anyone!
“It’s a translation device. It projects the translation after completing the translation process,” He Yunzhou explained, taking off the translation device he was wearing and handing it to Lou Ting. “It’s a new purchase. Want to give it a try?”
Lou Ting looked at the white translation device that resembled in-ear headphones, feeling somewhat skeptical, but he put it on.
Seeing this, He Yunzhou transformed directly into his beast form and demonstrated to Lou Ting.
Black Panther: “Ao!” Just like that.
The translation device emitted sound into his ears, and at the same time, a string of small bubble-like words appeared above the Black Panther’s head.
Lou Ting: “…”
The Black Panther spoke with “Ahhhh” sounds, explaining, “Your transformation into the beast form is not stable, and you don’t know how to speak in beast form. Our communication would become difficult. If something unexpected happens, there won’t be enough time to react. So, I prepared this.”
It was also a precaution, in case there was any important information to communicate. In an emergency, if Lou Ting’s mental state was unstable and he transformed into his beast form, they would still be able to communicate properly.
Lou Ting asked him, “Can you see the words above your head?”
The Black Panther nodded, “Ao.” It’s for debugging in the beast form.
Lou Ting rubbed the translation device with his fingertips; it was indeed quite useful. And… what He Yunzhou said did make some sense.
In critical moments, a single sentence could turn the tide.
However…
Looking at the bubbles above the Black Panther’s head, Lou Ting immediately reached out and grabbed his ears.
Black Panther: “???”
At the next moment, Lou Ting transformed directly into his beast form, and the little fox gracefully landed on the Black Panther’s head, biting onto his ear.
Black Panther: “!!!”
Ao!
I’ll give you a translation device! I’ll let you have bubbles on your head! You didn’t even remind me when I had bubbles on my head!
The little fox grumbled and rolled around on the Black Panther’s body, boldly pulling his fur and biting his ear.
Initially caught off guard, the Black Panther bit back, but soon he lay on the ground, making it easier for the little fox to run around. Just in case the little fox lost his balance and fell, he wouldn’t further injure his already hurt leg.
The Black Panther was indeed too big, and Lou Ting had the intention to give him a good beating, but in human form, the Black Panther’s tough skin would make Lou Ting’s hands ache. In beast form… the Black Panther’s paw was even larger than Lou Ting’s head.
The little fox ran around twice and used his strength to help the Black Panther shed some fur.
Translation device, confiscated!
The room was filled with black panther fur flying all over, and He Yunzhou lost the translation device and got a beating.
The translation device was invaluable; even in the interstellar world, it was hard to come by.
The Black Panther licked his paw, thinking: What excuse should I use to deceive my brother and get another translation device?
He Yunzhou was cleaning the room with a cleaning device, while Lou Ting sat by the bed, spraying medicine on his leg.
This medicine was specially prepared by the production team for promoting blood circulation and reducing stasis. It was expensive and effective. The production team was never stingy with such things.
However… it was much slower compared to the healing device.
Lou Ting looked at his swollen ankle and thought about massaging away the stagnant blood to help it heal faster. Just as he was about to reach out, He Yunzhou’s voice came from the other side, “No using your hands.”
Lou Ting stopped his hand unconsciously, and after realizing, he grasped his ankle and pressed it, saying, “This way, it will heal faster.” However, the painful feedback made Lou Ting furrow his brows.
It really hurts.
He Yunzhou stepped forward and grabbed his hand. “Don’t massage it. Take the medicine on time and let the swelling go down naturally.”
“I can’t wait.” Lou Ting looked up at him and said, “There are only four days left until the stage performance. Before that, I need to rehearse on the stage, practice my movements. In my current state, how can I rehearse?”
“No pressing.” He Yunzhou insisted, “I’ll ask the director to postpone the stage time.”
Lou Ting smiled at his words but didn’t say anything.
How could they postpone it?
The tickets for the stage performance have already been sold. Delaying it would not only affect the filming schedule.
The director might follow He Yunzhou’s suggestion due to pressure, but Lou Ting didn’t want to cause any delays.
He had so much to do; he couldn’t waste time on such trivial matters.
Lou Ting said, “I can jump. Don’t be reckless.”
He Yunzhou frowned, “Nonsense.” His words sounded like a reprimand, but there was no real force behind them. It seemed more like he was feeling helpless and didn’t know how to handle the situation.
“Mr. He,” Lou Ting faced He Yunzhou and didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he just repeated, “I know my limits.”
*Knock, knock*
The sound of knocking came, and Lou Ting immediately looked up, relieved.
Lou Ting said, “Come in.”
Yan Zige entered the room and saw He Yunzhou standing by the bed. Everyone knew that He Yunzhou was staying in the dormitory, except for the trainees. Yan Zige nodded at him.
He Yunzhou turned his head to clean the bed filled with fish snack crumbs.
Lou Ting asked, “Teacher Yan, did you come to see me?”
Yan Zige glanced at Lou Ting’s injured right ankle, which still looked severe. He said, “The person who caused your injury has been caught. Would you like to go and see?”
Lou Ting raised an eyebrow. He had only rested in the dorm for a while, and now there was such a big commotion outside?
“Go,” without waiting for Lou Ting’s answer, He Yunzhou said, “You go first, and I’ll bring the person over in a while.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Zige looked at Lou Ting, and seeing him nod, he said, “Okay.”
Lou Ting had just rejected He Yunzhou’s suggestion to postpone the stage performance, knowing that He Yunzhou was looking out for him. While a sprained ankle might not be a major injury, it required care. If the injury worsened during the dance performance, he would be the one suffering.
He Yunzhou was also concerned about Lou Ting’s well-being, so Lou Ting didn’t argue when He Yunzhou offered to take him to the scene.
He Yunzhou had been holding his breath earlier, and now that he had a chance to resolve the situation positively, there was no way he would let it slip.
Lou Ting thought of this trip as a way to let He Yunzhou vent his frustration, and also… he was curious about who he had offended.
Lou Ting put on his shoes and supported himself with the bed railing as he stood up.
He Yunzhou came over and raised his hand to support him. Lou Ting didn’t want to risk further injuring his foot before the formal stage performance, so he decided to lean on He Yunzhou and walk.
However, this slow pace of walking was quite tedious.
Just as Lou Ting was considering the idea of running a few steps to speed things up, He Yunzhou suddenly placed his hand on Lou Ting’s waist.
Lou Ting was taken aback.
He suddenly realized something, but before he could react, He Yunzhou had already wrapped one arm around his waist and the other passed through his knees, carrying him in a princess carry!
Lou Ting: “!!!”
“He Yunzhou!” From birth until now, except for when he was a baby, Lou Ting had never been carried by anyone. Now he was being carried by He Yunzhou, and in a princess carry no less?!
Lou Ting couldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment, so he immediately bent his elbow and struck out!
He Yunzhou didn’t dodge or avoid the hit and took it head-on.
Seeing Lou Ting lift his arm again, He Yunzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks and put him down.
Lou Ting said, “Consider yourself…”
Before he could finish his sentence, He Yunzhou suddenly bent down.
A bow? A respectful bow?
Lou Ting was taken aback. Why was he suddenly being so polite?
This thought quickly passed, and it wasn’t until his abdomen pressed against He Yunzhou’s shoulder that Lou Ting understood. He was being carried in a bow!
He was being lifted up!
“He Yunzhou!” Lou Ting gritted his teeth and reached back, trying to grab hold of the man’s neck like a real man. “You’re dead!”
He Yunzhou ignored his threats and quickened his pace, carrying Lou Ting and ignoring his struggles to drag him along. Lou Ting angrily pounded on his back.
When He Yunzhou finally arrived at their destination and put him down, he felt like he had just finished a full-body massage.
Lou Ting glared at him, not saying a word, and walked straight into the office.
There were few people in the office, only Yan Zige and Fang Huandong sitting there. The spacious office looked somewhat empty.
Seeing Lou Ting enter, Yan Zige said, “Take a seat. Don’t stand with your injured foot.”
