"Little Taotie."
"You still haven't told me..."
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Did something happen that was more important than dessert?"
He was genuinely curious.
Little Taotie usually seemed carefree...
All it ever thought about was eating.
It was most enthusiastic about food.
When there was no food, it was always sluggish.
It wouldn't move at all.
The moment Little Taotie was picked up, it instinctively started to struggle, then stopped.
Little Taotie let its limbs dangle.
It hung in Lord Xiao Xiao's hand like a little ornament.
Xiao Xiao set Little Taotie down on the bag of desserts.
"Can you tell me?"
Little Taotie took a deep breath.
A rich, sweet aroma wafted up from the box below.
It smelled so good.
Before it knew it, Little Taotie was sprawled across the box.
It rubbed its face blissfully against the box of desserts.
Xiao Xiao: ...
He smiled helplessly.
"Answer my question first."
Seeing Little Taotie so lost in the aroma of the desserts that it couldn't tear itself away, Xiao Xiao curled a finger and tapped it on the forehead.
Little Taotie immediately puffed out its cheeks and glared at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Do you want some dessert?"
Little Taotie nodded vigorously.
It did!
"Then answer my question."
Xiao Xiao reached out and smoothed the fur on the head of the little white fox in his arms.
Little Taotie pursed its lips.
It wasn't anything interesting...
Reluctantly, Little Taotie told Lord Xiao Xiao about a memory it had recalled after all these years.
It was pretty boring, wasn't it?
Little Taotie looked at Lord Xiao Xiao.
See? It had said so.
Lord Xiao Xiao had still insisted that it tell him—
Xiao Xiao
