"It does seem that way."
"What a coincidence."
"And not many people keep foxes as pets these days..."
At least, before today, none of us had ever seen anyone bring a pet fox into a public place.
That made the staff's suspicion all the more reasonable.
Xiao Xiao's words left the girl with the bun and the boy with the straight fringe confused.
The main thing was that he seemed far too calm.
And far too certain.
He didn't look nervous at all.
At least, they couldn't see the slightest trace of nervousness.
Could it be...
That he was telling the truth?
The girl with the bun looked at the boy with the straight fringe.
The boy with the straight fringe spoke uneasily. "Wenwen, did we really mistake it for the wrong fox?"
The girl with the bun pressed her lips together, conflicted.
She didn't know either.
But was it really just a coincidence?
This young man holding a white fox had happened to show up right outside the fox enclosure that had lost a white fox.
"Let's go find our senior and check with them first."
The boy with the straight fringe still chose the safer option.
Otherwise, wouldn't they be wronging him?
"Our senior's in a meeting and isn't answering the phone."
The girl with the bun sounded unwilling to give up.
"And the meeting will still take a while to finish..."
"Then..."
The boy with the straight fringe was at a loss for words.
He had no idea what they should do now...
The young man insisted they had mistaken the fox and wouldn't hand it over.
Wenwen had nearly tried to grab it just now—
Ahem, to take Little White Fox back.
But she'd failed.
He glanced at the young man.
