Or was she really asleep?
But...
If A Jiu really was asleep all the time...
Wouldn't that mean she was a little too sleepy?
The worry that had just risen in Chi Xiuke's heart faded away.
There wouldn't be a problem.
A Jiu was Master Xiao's pet, after all.
Chi Xiuke tilted her head up to look at Master Xiao, who was standing nearby.
"Did he say why?"
Was this bullying the weak?
Uh...
But reality had just thrown a bucket of cold water on her.
"A Jiu..."
Was that... a sign to stop?

Xiao Xiao shrugged slightly.
"...Maybe it's still not the right time."
His tone was gentle.

She looked at Chi Xiuchuan.
Chi Xiuke pouted.
Chi Xiuke asked with a beaming smile.
It seemed A Jiu had caught her attention; Big Red Bean turned its head toward Chi Xiuke.

Master Xiao walked over to the white fox, who had stood up at some point and taken a few steps back.
Light sparkled in its eyes like stars.
He crouched down.
But A Si didn't seem to feel how lovely the moment was.
Chi Xiuke looked at the little white fox, lying peacefully
