Zhao Luzheng knew very well.
If he couldn't see, then he couldn't see.
It had nothing to do with distance.
Since he couldn't see anything, he shouldn't go over and get in the way.
Though he thought that and had done just that, Zhao Luzheng still couldn't make himself, an uninvolved bystander, lie down and go to sleep.
Even though he couldn't see a thing, Zhao Luzheng still stared excitedly in the direction of the window.
Look at Third Brother.
Look at the view outside the window.
Maybe... he could spot some clues.
Clues that a guest had arrived.
Lu Duan froze.
Why would that monkey be there?
It didn't understand why this human was asking that.
Seeing Lu Duan's confusion, Xiao Xiao's eyes curved with a smile.
"Nothing."
He'd been overthinking it.
How could the little monkey have found Lu Duan and followed it?
Unless Lu Duan had let it.
"I asked for no reason."
Lu Duan tilted its head.
It didn't press him on the matter.
It waved a paw.
Xiao Xiao reached out.
He managed to suppress his first instinct to swat the thing away.
Instead, he caught what Lu Duan tossed at him.
Hm?
Xiao Xiao examined the thing in his hand.
This was...
A wild fruit?
Its surface was bumpy, its color dark and dull, with a hint of green and purple.
It looked quite peculiar.
Of ten people who saw it, nine would probably think it was poisonous, right?
Even if it wasn't poisonous...
If someone ate this fruit and then felt nauseous, got a stomachache, or had diarrhea... none of that would seem surprising...
"Hiss~"
The white snake's eyes snapped open, then quickly shut again.
Its head turned away, too.
The fruit was ugly enough to hurt
