The white snake shook its head.
There was a bright gleam of amusement in its scarlet, vertical pupils.
What was this?
A piece of cake.
Heh heh.
"What?"
Zhuge Yun leaned closer, curious.
"Ah..."
Zhuge Yun saw the pastries encircled by the white snake.
"This is..."
"A Bai saved these for you?"
Zhuge Yun caught on quickly.
He immediately understood the white snake's intention.
"Wow~"
Zhuge Yun was impressed.
After sharing a dorm with Xiao Xiao for so long, he naturally knew that A Jiu and A Bai weren't ordinary foxes and snakes.
They were both very clever.
But...
To be clever to this extent...
Still seemed a little unbelievable to him.
"Third Brother, are A Jiu and A Bai just one step away from becoming spirits?"
Zhuge Yun joked.
"Look, they're all different colors, too."
Zhao Luzheng turned to the others.
"Mm..."
He looked at the pastries on the table again.
"Huh?"
"There's no pink."
"Or purple."
Zhao Luzheng remembered that there had been pastries in those two colors.
Pink went without saying.
The first pastries Grandpa Zou had given Third Brother had all been pink.
And purple was the color of the pastries he'd eaten in the car before.
So he remembered it clearly.
But Zhao Luzheng had only been making an offhand remark.
Could A Bai really have gone out of its way to save Third Brother flavors he hadn't tried before?
That would be asking too much of A Bai.
It was already amazing that every pastry here was a different color, wasn't it?
Was it a coincidence?
It could only be a coincidence.
There was no way—
"I've tried pastries in those two colors."
"...Huh?"
The jumble of thoughts in Zhao Luzheng's mind came to an abrupt halt.
