Oh.
The future policewoman.
The man was very meticulous.
Huh.
"Student Xiao, are you going to be a police officer too?"
The man blurted out.
Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback.
The man's question had come out of nowhere and made no sense.
He shook his head.
"No."
"What made you suddenly get that impression?"
Xiao Xiao was a little curious.
They had run into each other several times before.
Why had the man suddenly come up with that idea now?
"No..."
The man chuckled awkwardly.
"Are you really not a police academy student?"

The man awkwardly scratched his cheek.
"Sorry."

His mind raced.
He tried to think of another topic to ease his embarrassment.
Then he spotted the pot of marguerites.
An idea suddenly struck him.
"Hey, Student Xiao."
The man's wandering gaze returned to Student Xiao.
"Do you really like this pot of marguerites?"
His eyes sparkled.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"They're very pretty."
Their unusual color and little sunflower-like shape made the flowers especially eye-catching.
They caught the attention of more than just humans.
The demons had noticed them too.
"Right?"
The man smiled proudly.
"They're pretty, aren't they?"
"There isn't a single ugly plant on this balcony."
He was like a silly
