Come to think of it, how had he not noticed such a beautiful, eye-catching butterfly from the very beginning?
The child almost doubted his own eyes.
His eyesight...
Well.
Wasn't very good.
He liked reading.
But he didn't have very good reading habits.
He always held books too close.
His parents had told him off about it many times.

"We'll have to wait for it to tell me."
Xiao Xiao's lips curved into a smile.
"Oh, oh."
The child nodded.
That made sense.
