Xiao Xiao hung up.
After getting into the car, he gave the driver the hospital address the siblings had told him.
"Big Brother!"
As soon as Xiao Xiao got out of the car, he heard the siblings call to him excitedly in unison.
He looked up toward their voices.
"Chen Ying, Chen Cong."
"Big Brother, you're here~"
The girl smiled happily.
"Little Fox is here too."
The boy relaxed.
Perhaps the more you cared, the easier it was to feel uneasy.
Though he understood, Xiao Xiao couldn't help wondering: Was I really so untrustworthy?
The monsters didn't want to get close to him...
And people didn't trust him...
Why did he feel like he had such a miserable image?
"Let's go."
Xiao Xiao headed into the hospital grounds first.
"Ah, oh, okay."
The boy and girl hurried after him.
"That's the room."
At the end of the corridor, the girl pointed toward the room where their grandmother was staying.
"Big Brother..."
Her gaze fell on Little Fox.
She half-raised her hands, unsure whether to lift them.
"A Jiu."
Xiao Xiao looked down at the little white fox, eyes closed as if dozing.
He could tell.
A Jiu wasn't in a very good mood.
Like many people,
A Jiu didn't like the smell of the hospital, either.
He stroked the little white fox's head.
"Go on."
"It... doesn't seem very happy?"
The boy stared at Little Fox.
Was it because it didn't want to leave its master?
"It doesn't like the smell of disinfectant in hospitals."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Oh~"
The boy and girl understood.
They looked sympathetic.
"We don't like it either..."
The girl reached out to pat Little Fox's head. "Don't worry, it's—"
Little Fox's tail smacked her hand.
