The boy with black-rimmed glasses still couldn't get the answer he wanted from the leopard...
"It answered your question."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
What?
The boy with black-rimmed glasses widened his eyes.
"Really?"
"What did it say?"
"Did you understand it?"
How was that possible?
The next second, the boy with black-rimmed glasses dismissed the thought.
How could any human understand an animal's language?
"It said..."
Xiao Xiao got straight to the point.
"Wait!"
The boy with black-rimmed glasses realized something was off.
Was this guy...
really going to tell him what the leopard had just said!?
"Are you serious?"
He didn't need comforting lies.
Though he was disappointed, he could accept the result.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
He didn't answer the boy with black-rimmed glasses' question, but continued where he'd left off.
He put the story Zhen had told him into words and retold it to the boy with black-rimmed glasses.
The boy with black-rimmed glasses' eyes widened more and more as he listened.
"You mean..."
"The leopard..."
"Ahem."
He quickly realized that "leopard" was simply what he called this strange-looking creature. Other people probably wouldn't understand.
The boy with black-rimmed glasses corrected himself. "It did that to stand up for the child whose balloon had been stolen..."
"So that's why it popped the balloon?"
Xiao Xiao looked at Zhen.
Zhen nodded.
The boy with black-rimmed glasses' eyes widened in shock again.
Had the leopard understood what he'd said?!
No.
This boy had understood the leopard...
Oh dear.
The boy with black-rimmed glasses felt a headache coming on.
He tapped his head with one hand.
He was completely confused now.
His mind was a tangled mess.
The boy with black-rimmed glasses took a deep breath.
Don't think about too
