He was the elementary school classmate of Wei Xinhai's whom they had met at the Candy Store last time, along with his female companion.
What a coincidence.
The group had run into each other again.
But...
The Man with glasses was clearly not at all happy about this reunion.
Watching the Man with glasses pull his female companion around and hurry off, Xiao Xiao's lips curled slightly.
He turned around.
And caught the fleeting despondency on the man's face.
"Monsters only bring misfortune..."
The man murmured.
"You'd better get rid of it soon, too..."
"Fei Fei~"
Fei Fei was furious.
Was this human ever going to stop?!
Every time he saw Lord Xiao Xiao, he told Lord Xiao Xiao to get rid of it...
Damn human!
Fei Fei's silver-blue eyes suddenly transformed into swirling galaxies.
Its long tail trailed a brilliant, sparkling stream of starlight...
The man's gaze grew unfocused.
Slowly, his eyes lost their focus.
Pale lights.
The pungent smell of disinfectant.
But the child curled up in the chair looked even paler than a thin sheet of paper.
A shadow fell over him.
The child looked up, bewildered.
Fear poured from his eyes.
"No...!"
"Wei Xinhai."
The man abruptly came to his senses.
A face gradually emerged in his blurry vision.
Student Xiao?
"Are you all right?"
Xiao Xiao's voice was gentle.
He realized this seemed to be the question he asked Wei Xinhai most often.
"Huff... huff..."
Wei Xinhai seemed to have just burst through the surface after being trapped in the deep sea.
The tightness in his chest made him gasp for air.
"Cough, cough..."
His frantic gasping made him start coughing.
He stumbled.
One hand hastily braced against the wall beside him.
"Cough, cough..."
