Indeed.
Was the Gu Diao's intimidating presence just too overwhelming?
"Then I'll tell you now."
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his lips. "You can leave on your own."
Man Man froze.
They looked at one another.
They... could leave now?

Why had they pretended to be Yu Lele's parents...
Man Man tilted their head.

The Pipa ghost was still listening.
"You know Yu Lele's parents?"
Xiao Xiao continued asking.
Man Man tilted their head again.
This time, they tilted it
