"We should get to class."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
"Oh, oh."
The child nodded instinctively.
It was only when the questions in the exercise book came into view that he looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion.
"Don't understand this question?"
"...Mm."
The child looked at the question.
It was the one that had stumped him for a long time just now.
He truly didn't understand it.
"I'll explain it to you."
Xiao Xiao took a sheet of scratch paper.
Then he blinked at the child. "You don't have to take everything the teacher said just now too seriously."
"Linlin, you don't have to dwell on what happened before, either."
"Little Blue is naturally simple-minded, and it doesn't understand human matters very well."
"If it does something that puts you in a difficult position, don't worry about it. Just tell it directly."
"Communication is also very important between good friends."
"Understand?"
"Mm."
The child nodded.
"Also, Linlin isn't a stupid child."
"Remember that, too."
"...Mm."
The child pressed his lips tightly together.
"All right. Can you listen to the explanation now?"
Xiao Xiao propped up his chin with one hand, his brows and eyes curving slightly.
"Mm."
The child nodded forcefully.
It seemed that this was the only word he knew how to say, and the only action he knew how to perform.
Opening his umbrella, Xiao Xiao walked out of the apartment building.
"Hisss~"
The white snake reared up.
Earlier, even without Lord Xiao Xiao saying anything, it hadn't moved in front of the child.
That way, the clueless human cub wouldn't start shouting again.
Hmph.
It had long since seen through the cluelessness of most humans.
No matter how many years passed, human cluelessness remained as consistent as ever.
They hadn't improved in the slightest.
