Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng looked at Xiao Xiao curiously, too.
Although they'd forgotten about it earlier,
Zhuge Yun's reminder had brought their curiosity from back then rushing back.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
His fingers gently rubbed the side of his teacup.
"Grandma Tian..."
"She's a little special."
"She can see monsters, too?!"
Zhuge Yun blurted out.
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng's eyes widened, too.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.
"No."
Xiao Xiao found it a little amusing.
"Why would you say that?"
"Because you said so."
Zhuge Yun answered quickly.
"When you say someone's special..."
"My first thought is... monsters."
"So it's not that..."
Zhuge Yun murmured.
"Yeah."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng nodded in unison.
Exactly.
Their first thought had been the same as Zhuge Yun's.
When Xiao Xiao said someone was special...
When Xiao Xiao called someone special...
Wasn't that bound to mean monsters?
"Then I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
So far, he couldn't tell whether there were any traces of monsters in Grandma Tian's story.
Even if there really were...
Given Grandma Tian's current condition... it would probably be hard for anyone else to learn the reason behind it.
Of course,
nothing was certain yet.
Maybe...
Things might take an unexpected turn.
Xiao Xiao never liked to decide how something would end in advance.
Until the outcome was clear... until the very end...
anything was possible.
"Fine."
Zhuge Yun pursed his lips.
Honestly,
he was a little disappointed.
After all, Xiao Xiao wasn't the sort to go out of his way for people.
For Xiao Xiao to put in that much effort...
At the time, he'd vaguely guessed it had something to do with monsters...
That was
