She was willing to believe that Student Xiao had his own reasons for being vague about her question.
Or perhaps she could learn what those reasons were?
If he couldn't even tell her that...
At least he could plainly tell her that, for some reason, he couldn't tell her the truth.
An answer like that...
She could accept.
After all, the old lady was safe and sound.
And had fulfilled a wish she'd cherished for many years.
She'd seen the friend she longed for so dearly.
A very unusual leopard with a red eye...
The old lady was fine, and her wish had come true...
However she looked at it...
It was all thanks to Student Xiao.
So what right or standing did she, as the old lady's family member, have to demand that he tell her the truth?
Especially when the truth wouldn't affect either the old lady or her in any way.
She was only trying to satisfy her own curiosity.
If he was willing to tell her, she'd be happy.
After all, it had to do with an elder in her family, so she was very interested.
If he didn't want to tell her for some reason...
She had no grounds to criticize him.
She could only regret that she wouldn't learn the truth.
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved with a smile.
"Do you believe that monsters exist in this world?"
The woman: ...
She looked at Student Xiao, uncertain and astonished.
Then, seeing how calm he was, she felt a little embarrassed for being so serious in her surprise.
Why was she taking this so seriously?
Student Xiao was obviously joking.
She looked as though she were actually considering whether monsters existed in the world...
But wasn't the answer to that question obvious?
