Zhen was putting on a brave front.
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.
"All right."
So he believed it?
Zhen wasn't sure.
It glanced cautiously at the human across from it.
But it met a pair of icy silver-blue eyes.
It stiffened abruptly.
A chill crept through all four of its limbs.
Zhen suddenly retreated half a step.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't understand Zhen's sudden reaction.
At the sound of Xiao Xiao's voice, Zhen abruptly came back to its senses.
It looked closely.
The owner of those silver-blue eyes...
was a little yao on the human's shoulder.
Tiny.
White with red markings.
It had been lying on the human's shoulder with its eyes closed the whole time.
So Zhen knew the little yao was there, but had never paid it any attention.
It hadn't expected...
to be startled by the little yao this time.
The little yao looked tiny and soft and cuddly...
but it was actually pretty fierce.
That look just now...
But once Zhen realized the eyes belonged to the little yao, most of its shock faded.
Its expression turned a little sour.
It had actually been startled by a little yao it hadn't taken seriously at first, one that looked small enough to pin down with a single paw...
Well.
It had just been caught off guard.
As far as it could remember, it had never seen the little yao open its eyes.
When they suddenly opened, it hadn't known who was staring at it... all it saw was a pair of silver-blue eyes.
It was only natural to be startled.
It definitely wasn't because it was afraid of the little yao.
Zhen's gaze made Xiao Xiao realize something was up.
He turned his face.
