From far away, the little girl's voice sounded again.
"I still want to play with the dog."
"Mm. If you see the dog again, Bao Bao, you can play with it some more."
It gave a soft snort.
Who wanted to play with this human brat who did nothing but grin foolishly?
And then it suddenly realized—it wasn't a dog.
It was a monster.
It was Xibian!
This human brat really was annoying!
Although it said it hated her, Xibian didn't leave the area.
As far as it was concerned, she was just a human brat. Why should it have to move because of her?
For a long time afterward, it kept running into the human brat.
Whenever the little girl saw it, she'd run over with a radiant smile and tug on its tail.
Although it had wanted countless times to fling the grinning human brat away with its tail,
it had never actually done so.
Whenever it noticed the little girl's mother or father coming over, it would gently wriggle free of the girl's grasp on its tail.
Then it would run somewhere the little girl couldn't see it.
"Playing with the dog again?"
"Mm."
"Bao Bao really likes that dog, doesn't he?"
"Mm!"
"The dog is super cute!"
"Really? Mommy wants to see that dog next time, too."
It was lying on a branch of a large tree.
The dense leaves concealed its figure.
It knocked several leaves down with its tail.
It looked rather indignant.
Cute, what?!
You're the cute one!
It was a monster!
The sky was overcast that day, and the wind began to pick up.
Before long, it looked up as a raindrop landed on its face.
It was raining.
It was only a light drizzle.
Who knew
