I wondered whether I'd ever get the chance to meet that monster who yearned for human love again.
"Really?"
Hearing Master Xiao say that, Dan Zhe felt relieved.
"Wait, wait!"
Xiao Zhu cried out.
He turned to the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper Hua, you believe what A Zhe said?"
"His monster girlfriend?"
The shopkeeper gave a slight nod.
"I believe him."
"Why?"
Xiao Zhu was puzzled.
They were both bystanders, so why had the shopkeeper accepted it so quickly?
It was such an absurd thing...
Was he making too big a fuss?
Or was the shopkeeper simply too calm?
"I believe Master Xiao."
The shopkeeper smiled.
Xiao Zhu suddenly understood a little.
The shopkeeper had said before that Master Xiao had saved his life. Did he believe him because he owed Master Xiao his life?
It wasn't that he couldn't understand, but...
"That's it?"
"His being the man who saved your life has nothing to do with whether you believe something so absurd..."
Just because he'd saved his life...
Wasn't that too careless?
The shopkeeper wasn't usually so careless.
The shopkeeper offered no explanation.
He didn't want too many people finding out there was a guardian in the shop.
He was worried it would bring unnecessary trouble.
The shopkeeper's silence made Xiao Zhu twitch his mouth.
Fine.
The man was willing to believe the person who'd saved his life. What could Xiao Zhu do about it?
Right.
What could he do?
Should he believe what A Zhe had said, just like the shopkeeper?
Now it seemed as if he was the only one standing against them...
The shopkeeper believed him because Master Xiao had saved his life.
Shouldn't Xiao Zhu trust A Zhe unconditionally because he was his friend?
"Mr. Dan, it's getting late.
