"What about this..."
Xiao Xiao smiled and turned to look at Chi Xiuchuan.
Noticing his gaze, Chi Xiuchuan pulled his eyes away from the stone table.
Although he couldn't see anything, Chi Xiuchuan kept trying to catch a glimpse of something.
Even if it was futile, at least it gave him something to do.
"Master Xiao?"
Chi Xiuchuan looked a little confused.
He'd been distracted just now and hadn't heard what Master Xiao said.
He gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, Master Xiao. What did you just say?"
"Have you made up your mind?"
Xiao Xiao's seemingly random question left Chi Xiuchuan momentarily stunned.
But he quickly understood.
His usually gentle expression turned rueful. "Master Xiao, what did your friend say?"
"Was the truth different from what we knew?"
He was asking to be sure—or, perhaps, to help himself make up his mind.
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head. "Strawberry said it saw Yuan Yuan constantly hitting Qiqi, and that Qiqi was afraid to tell Uncle Tao she'd been hit because Yuan Yuan had threatened to leave."
"It couldn't stand to watch anymore, so it stepped in to help Qiqi."
"Grr~"
Quan Li looked utterly bewildered.
Strawberry?
Lord Xiao Xiao seemed to be talking about him?
But Strawberry?
A smile glimmered in Xiao Xiao's eyes. "That's what Qiqi calls you."
That little brat!
Quan Li ground his teeth.
Were her eyes blind?
What Strawberry?
Did he look like a strawberry?
He might like eating strawberries, but he certainly didn't want to look like one!
"Maybe it's because you and strawberries are both red."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the demon, whose fur had flared bright red with anger, and guessed at the girl's reasoning. "And... maybe because you really like eating strawberries."
Children were always so straightforward.
