Who's Watching Me?
Xiao Xiao stepped onto the balcony.
Daylight poured down.
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved slightly.
Xiao Xiao looked toward the spot where Zhen had been last night.
His gaze met Zhen's, a little flustered.
He raised an eyebrow.
"You're still here."
He spoke softly.
He knew Zhen could hear him.
Zhen's expression stiffened.
It had guessed this human would ask that.
It had wanted to leave before the human got up...
But it hadn't made it in time.
That was why the monster's gaze had been a little flustered just now.
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Good morning."
Zhen almost thought it had misheard.
Huh?
What had this human said?
Good... morning?
It knew that phrase.
It had heard other humans say it...
In the morning.
It was a greeting.
Ah.
Zhen understood.
"Good morning" was a greeting for the morning.
Then a greeting in the evening...
Would be... "good evening."
That was right.
It was "good evening."
So why had this human said "good night" yesterday?
Zhen couldn't figure it out.
After puzzling over it for a while, it shook its head slightly.
Forget it.
Wasn't it perfectly normal that it didn't understand human speech habits?
It had heard the phrase. That was enough.
Why be so particular?
Having let go of its confusion, Zhen looked up.
Hm?
Zhen froze.
That human...
Was gone.
The balcony was empty.
Zhen blinked.
It couldn't help leaning its head out a little.
Huh?
Where was he?
Unfortunately, the curtain blocked Zhen's view.
After a few fruitless attempts, Zhen pursed its lips.
Hmph.
It lightly leaped down from the tree.
Unexpectedly...
Xiao Xiao stopped walking.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Did you need something?"
He spoke softly.
Only then did Zhen realize.
