"Hiss~"
A disdainful hiss rang out.
It was A Bai.
Xiao Xiao discreetly rubbed the white snake's head with his finger.
Its touch was cool.
"Master Xiao."
Xiao Xiao turned toward the voice. "Li Yan."
"What a coincidence."
Li Yan grinned. "Just got back from outside?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Hey, A Jiu."
Li Yan greeted the Little White Fox.
The Little White Fox glanced at him from the corner of her eye, then quickly looked away.
Li Yan: ...
"A Jiu is still as aloof and elegant as ever."
Li Yan shrugged.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He heard A Bai's disdainful hiss again.
"Third Brother, I've got something for you."
Seeing Xiao Xiao come in, Zhuge Yun beckoned him over.
Xiao Xiao walked up to him.
"Here."
Looking at the paper in his hand, Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow. "A cake voucher?"
"Yeah."
Zhuge Yun gazed at the Little White Fox, whose eyes were half-closed, feeling a little regretful.
He'd hoped to spend more time with the Little White Fox and build up enough closeness that one day he could take her out for a stroll in his arms.
Unfortunately, the idea was lovely, but reality was harsh.
So far, his bond with the Little White Fox didn't seem to have grown at all with the passage of time.
The road ahead was long indeed.
Zhuge Yun sighed.
Then he perked up. "Someone gave it to me."
"I figured you'd want it."
"So I brought it back."
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao smiled as he accepted it.
He had a lot of classes the next day, so it wasn't until the third day that Xiao Xiao set off for the shop nearest to the school listed on the cake voucher.
It wasn't very close.
But it wasn't
