This monster had not even hidden the shoes anywhere outside the theater.
Since he had actually happened to run into this monster, he casually reminded it of a few things.
It would be best if it listened.
If it didn't...
Xiao Xiao could not exactly tie up Xingxing and force it to obey.
He had done what he should.
The rest was Xingxing's own choice.
Xingxing's emotions were somewhat complicated.
It had thought this human meant it harm.
As it turned out, he had come to kindly warn it.
It had no particular prejudice against humans.
Otherwise, it would not have stayed in places crowded with people.
Of course.
That was also because crowded places had all kinds of shoes.
Every time it saw the confusion, surprise, or utter bewilderment on humans' faces when they discovered their shoes were missing...
It could not help grinning.
It also liked seeing the delighted smiles on humans' faces after they searched around and found their shoes.
Heh heh.
That's right.
It really liked this pair of shoes.
So it had to treat them well.
Xingxing's mouth moved slightly.
Its gaze drifted away.
After struggling for a long while, it finally spoke.
It knew what this human meant.
Actually, it never stayed in one place for very long.
It was a monster with a strong curiosity.
And human society's development could indeed be called ever-changing.
So it could always discover novel places, as well as the shoes on humans' feet—which changed with the seasons. No, to exaggerate a little, they were even different every day.
It liked that very much.
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"It seems I was overthinking it."
That made sense. This Xingxing clearly seemed quite familiar with human society and perfectly at ease within it.
He smiled.
