What was that loud noise just now?
Mu Tan Song furrowed his brow.
But he had no clue.
Xiao Xiao looked toward the wall.
Mu Tan Song instinctively followed his gaze.
Hm?
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
By the wall... there seemed to be scattered chunks of snow.
He looked up.
A section of the snow on top of the wall was missing...
A look of understanding gradually dawned on Mu Tan Song's face.
Oh...
"Did the snow on the wall fall off?"
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Though, to be precise, Bo Bo had knocked it down.
But it had still fallen.
"Oh, I see."
Mu Tan Song glanced again at the "gap" in the snow atop the wall.
No wonder it had been so loud.
That had been a huge pile of snow, after all.
He'd thought some kind of accident had happened...
It had given him quite a fright.
Since everything was fine...
Mu Tan Song smiled sheepishly at Xiao Xiao and offered a brief explanation.
"I thought something had happened in the courtyard..."
"Sorry."
Mu Tan Song simply apologized.
If Mu Tan Song's father had been here, there would have been no need to apologize.
After all, they had been neighbors for many years.
But he was different.
He and the people in this home—including the young man before him, who had saved his life—were practically strangers.
"I just pushed the door open and came right in..."
"It's all right."
Xiao Xiao shook his head. "Thank you for your concern."
He naturally knew why Mu Tan Song had rushed in with such a worried look on his face.
"Uh..."
Mu Tan Song gave an awkward laugh.
He felt rather undeserving of that thanks.
Fortunately, it had all been a misunderstanding.
Nothing
