"Times had changed."
Zhang Bo, who had listened to Zhuge Yun's account, rubbed his chin.
"Back then, you'd just met it at the shop."
"It was bound to be wary of you."
"But you bought it, and the two of you spent some time alone together."
"It got used to you."
"So naturally, it wasn't as wary anymore."
Zhuge Yun fell silent.
All right.
He'd actually thought of that, too.
"Forget it."
"Even if it can't show off its interesting soul just yet..."
Zhuge Yun displayed the turtle in the fish tank from every angle. "It still has a handsome appearance."
Zhang Bo: ...
He had to admit his eyes were untrained. He didn't know what made a turtle handsome.
But he really couldn't see how the word "handsome" could describe this turtle.
Zhao Luzheng chuckled and shook his head. "Yes, yes."
"This is a handsome turtle."
"I hope that child will be happy when he sees it."
"Definitely."
Zhuge Yun spoke with absolute conviction. "I picked this turtle with such care. Of course it'll make that child happy."
"Little turtle."
Zhuge Yun lifted the fish tank until it was level with his eyes.
"You have to get along well with that child."
"That child will be a good owner."
A child who was so heartbroken over a turtle that had passed away would have a great deal of empathy for small animals.
He would take good care of the little turtle.
"You have to be a good turtle, too."
"Understand?"
Zhuge Yun lightly tapped the glass tank with a bent finger.
"Don't make the turtle do the impossible."
Zhang Bo pursed his lips.
"How could it possibly understand what you're saying?"
"Pfft—"
Zhao Luzheng laughed again.
Making the turtle do the impossible...
Oh,
