Meng Jixi walked over to Xiao Xiao's side. "Looks like it's not a mystery drama but a heartwarming one."

"Are you disappointed?"

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"How could I be?"

Meng Jixi spread his hands. "Do I look like the kind of person who enjoys watching the chaos unfold?"

"Although..."

Thinking of what had just happened, Meng Jixi sighed. "Xi Anya can't see monsters."

"Doesn't that mean the monster mistook her for someone else?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the Chongming Bird outside the pavilion. "People change."

"Many people can't see monsters forever, either."

"Is that so?"

Meng Jixi also looked outside the pavilion.

The gorgeous evening clouds had grown even more vivid.

The last rays of light illuminated the horizon.

The hazy, ambiguous light of dusk always made people feel melancholy.

That was why he didn't particularly like twilight.

"What a shame."

"Why wouldn't it let Xi Anya see it?"

Meng Jixi withdrew his gaze from outside the pavilion.

Hadn't it let Xi Anya see the feathers?

"Because..."

Looking at the monster that had turned its head to admire the sunset, Xiao Xiao smiled. "Xi Anya didn't find it."

"...Huh?"

Meng Jixi didn't understand at first.

But he quickly figured it out.

After all, he was a professional.

"You mean Xi Anya didn't follow the feathers that fell to the ground... to find this monster?"

"That's right."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly. "Just like when they were children."

The little girl picked up feathers all along the way—

Every time she found a feather, the little girl's eyes shone a little brighter.

In the end, the little girl found the great bird.

The look of delight and the brilliant smile on the little girl's face had always remained in the Chongming Bird's memory.

It...

Really wanted to see
