"That little dog went home with its owner, too."
"Unless that person brought the little dog back to the neighborhood while taking care of something, otherwise..."
"I probably wouldn't get to see that little dog again."
"My parents comforted me, saying that maybe that person would bring the little dog back to the neighborhood soon..."
"Then I'd be able to see the little dog."
"But even now..."
Zhao Luzheng shook his head and sighed with a smile. "I still haven't seen that little dog again."
Even after he realized later that the little dog had saved him back then,
he had no way to express his gratitude.
After that, he gradually forgot about the little dog.
Jin Jiquan was starting to doubt his earlier conclusion. "Maybe the boy didn't meet A Si after all..."
On rainy days, the boy could briefly escape the attention of the outside world.
"What's so strange about that?"
"...Tell me more."
"Okay."
Zhao Luzheng pursed his lips.
Zhao Luzheng shook his head.
"He simply likes monsters and believes in their existence..."
Zhuge Yun froze slightly.
And it also hid the boy's peculiar side.
Zhuge Yun nodded.
"Of course, I can only take his word for it."
"Oh."
"Then I..."
Besides...
Could it really just have been a beautiful coincidence?
Especially seeing Zhuge Yun look so deep in thought, he hurried to add,
Zhao Luzheng wagged a finger. A few seconds later, he continued, "I couldn't see it."
Jin Jiquan murmured.
"Youngest."
"That was no use, either."
Only now had the story Zhang Bo told about the girl and Bai Bai stirred his memories.
"'Like' isn't quite the right word..."
"Who knows?"
Big Dog also remembered that scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Good grief.
Zhao Luzheng had a point.
