Even in a language she couldn't understand, it was still beautiful.
The illustrations in each edition were beautiful, too.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He walked over to another area.
Besides him and Lu Xiaoxiao, there were several other visitors in the bookstore.
Every visitor wore a delighted smile.
Perhaps the manager wanted more customers.
But for this exhibition, especially one with this theme, having fewer people... did indeed create a better atmosphere.
It also made it easier to get drawn into the mood.
"Ah!"
Xiao Xiao's brows lifted slightly.
Lu Xiaoxiao had let out another short scream.
He turned around.
He headed toward where Lu Xiaoxiao was.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood in front of a bookshelf.
One foot was drawn back.
One hand covered her mouth.
She had taken on a defensive posture, as if startled.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao went over to Lu Xiaoxiao.
He looked ahead.
A black cat with golden eyes grinned at him, looking rather smug, as if it had just pulled off a successful prank.
"It's a toy cat."
Xiao Xiao explained again.
He was a little surprised.
Based on his impression of her, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't seem like someone who would be frightened twice by the same toy.
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
There was a trace of panic in her eyes.
Her face was a little pale, too.
Xiao Xiao's brows lifted slightly.
This time, she seemed even more frightened than before.
What was wrong?
Xiao Xiao was a little puzzled.
Or had he misunderstood?
He looked around.
Apart from the black cat, he couldn't see anything else that might have frightened her.
"It's okay."
Xiao Xiao reassured her.
"Don't be scared."
"M-Master Xiao."
Lu Xiaoxiao spoke haltingly.
