Xie Chuchu murmured a seemingly plaintive complaint.
"But it's also easy to get distracted."
Chi Xiuke looked thoughtful.
"For example, once Xue Jiamin wins the competition, you could congratulate him. Maybe he'll forget about the leopard for a little while."
"Let's talk after he wins..."
Xie Chuchu crossed her hands.
She secretly hoped this outcome would come to pass.
Xiao Xiao reached a hand toward Zhujian's face.
Zhujian:?!
It sprang to its feet.
Its face, now turned toward him, was full of wariness and caution.
Its long tail was stiff as a rod.
It looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow, hiding the amusement in his eyes.
