Xuan Gui's whole body tensed.
It immediately nodded very obediently.
Who was it?
As long as it was willing, it wouldn't cause this child any trouble.
"Alright."
Xiao Xiao stood up.
"It's almost noon. You should go home."
"Mm."
The little boy nodded.
"Big Brother, goodbye."
"Wait."
Xiao Xiao looked at the little boy, who was still holding Xuan Gui in both hands in the same position, and felt slightly helpless.
There was still some distance between knowing something and understanding it.
"Put it in your pocket."
Xiao Xiao told the little boy what to do.
Huh?
"Oh."
The little boy instinctively tried to do as he said, but was still a little confused.
Why?
"Other people can't see it."
Xiao Xiao patiently explained, "In other people's eyes, your posture looks strange."
"It looks like you're holding something."
"But from their perspective, there's nothing in your hands."
"Understand?"
The little boy blinked.
Then blinked again.
He... understood.
The little boy carefully stuffed the turtle into his pants pocket.
As if worried that the turtle would suffocate in there, he reached out and tugged at the pocket.
"Remember, keeping something secret requires a lot of care."
Xiao Xiao gave the child one final reminder.
"Don't let your guard down."
"Otherwise, you'll bring yourself a great deal of trouble."
The little boy tilted his head.
"Trouble like what happened just now?"
Xiao Xiao stared into the little boy's eyes.
Then he smiled.
"No."
"It'll be trouble even worse than before."
The little boy opened his mouth in astonishment.
Trouble even worse than before?
It was hard for him to imagine...
As far as he was concerned...
The trouble he had just experienced was already the greatest and most frightening trouble
