The little monkey twisted its body.
It scratched its back with a paw.
A pair of shrewd eyes peeked out through a gap in the leaves.
The students unconsciously held their breath.
Everyone pretended not to notice the little monkey spying on them.
Their eyes, as they glanced at the friends beside them, held a hint of amazement.
What a clever little monkey.
The little monkey observed the scene below for a while, quite cautiously.
Its dark eyes rolled round and round.
Then—
"Swoosh~"
Watching the dark blur come flying toward him again...
Xiao Xiao's eye twitched.
Was this little monkey picking a fight with him?
He gestured for Feifei to stay out of it.
Things were different from before.
A lot of people were watching the little monkey now.
He could handle it himself.
Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly.
The dark blur whizzed past his ear.
"Thwack~"
It hit the ground with a dull sound that had a faint, crisp edge to it.
"..."
For a moment, the scene froze.
Everyone stared at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes.
Of course, a few students who were out of the loop hadn't noticed what had just happened.
But they could sense that something was odd about the atmosphere.
They asked the people beside them what was going on, looking puzzled and curious.
"Chirp, chirp~"
Its second failed attempt made the little monkey cry out in frustration.
It didn't even care that it was supposed to be hiding.
The students who had turned toward the little monkey at the sound of its call saw it baring its teeth and claws, looking thoroughly exasperated—
"Pfft~"
One student couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
Laughter was contagious.
One student after another burst out laughing.
"Haha~
