Everyone had left.
It really was something...
Xuan Gui slowly pulled its head back in.
It looked up at the White Magnolia above.
Bathed in the rain, the snow-white White Magnolia looked even more lustrous and lovely.
Its rain-scented floral fragrance had a charm all its own.
Oh, well.
It probably only had that one brief encounter with that human.
What need was there to meet again?
Xiao Xiao followed behind the two rambunctious children, the little cat, and the little dog.
He watched them laugh and play.
His eyes curved slightly.
"Little Fox."
The two children ran back to Xiao Xiao.
They looked at the Little White Fox, whose eyes were closed as if it were asleep.
"Do you want to come play with us?"
"Come play with us!"
The two children gazed at the Little White Fox expectantly.
They hoped it would respond.
Unfortunately,
the Little White Fox was as aloof as the two children remembered.
It didn't react at all to their eager looks.
The children's expressions shifted from anticipation to disappointment.
Hm?
The two children stared at the candy that had appeared in their view, their eyes widening.
"Don't be sad."
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Here, have some candy."
He didn't want to make A Jiu do anything it didn't want to.
But he hoped the children could still have fun.
The children's eyes lit up a little.
The two children took the candies from Xiao Xiao's palm.
"Mm."
The boy looked at the girl. "Mine's grape-flavored."
"Mine's apple-flavored."
The girl grinned.
The children exchanged a smile.
The disappointment on their faces was already gone.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Hm?
Xiao Xiao looked down.
The little Corgi was rubbing against his leg, gazing up at him.
