"After all, how could A Bai possibly understand what we're saying?"
"Isn't that right, big brother?"
Xi Xinxin looked at her brother.
Xi Xinrui pressed his lips together.
He glanced at Xiao Xiao, who seemed to be focusing on the barbecue.
Then he sighed inwardly.
His silly little sister.
Whether A Bai understood them wasn't important.
What mattered was that A Bai's owner had used the snake's gesture to reject this silly girl.
The focus should be on the white snake's owner, okay?
Otherwise, given how docile the white snake had been toward Xiao Xiao since they met, how could it possibly refuse its owner's wishes?
"Eat up."
Xi Xinrui gestured for his sister to focus on the barbecue.
"It won't taste as good once it gets cold."
"I'm still grilling over here."
"There's plenty for everyone."
"Dig in."
"Xi Xinxin."
Xi Xinrui called his sister by her full name.
"...Oh."
Xi Xinxin drooped her head.
But once the food was in her mouth, her mood improved quite a bit.
Delicious food really was the best comfort.
After a few big bites of grilled meat, Xi Xinxin felt around in her pocket.
Before coming here, she'd thought about chatting with Xiao Xiao about their experiences raising snakes...
But after seeing A Bai, all her attention had been drawn to the snake.
She'd forgotten about the snake in her pocket.
Ahem.
She reflected on that.
But she thought that even if she hadn't forgotten, she probably still wouldn't have taken her snake out.
Though she hated to put it this way...
She couldn't think of a better way to describe it.
If she brought her snake out in front of A Bai, wouldn't it look terribly inferior by comparison?
It would, wouldn't it...
