"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, then looked at the little girl. "Little Bell is always welcome to come play."
Little Bell pressed her lips together and smiled.
Her cheeks glowed red in the light of the setting sun.
"Then, Student Xiao, we'll be going."
"Take care on the way."
After watching the car disappear around the corner, Xiao Xiao turned and headed home.
Little Bell was the last one.
Ruan Xinyan and Yu Baozhu had both been picked up by their respective parents before her.
Xiao Xiao opened the door and stepped into the courtyard. The elegant, rich scent of plum blossoms immediately filled his nose.
It carried a hint of coolness.
In the sweltering summer dusk, it was especially refreshing.
"Splash!"
A vermilion figure leaped out of the water.
Then another vermilion figure leaped out.
Their long bird tails trailed behind them, shimmering faintly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Then came two splashes. When he looked again, the two demons were already playing in the water.
"Giggle, giggle~"
The innocent, cheerful sounds of young children echoed through the courtyard, creating an inexplicably eerie atmosphere.
"Xiao Xiao, dinner's ready."
His mother came out of the house to call him.
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao tore his gaze away from Qiuqiu fish and walked toward his mother.
He was also quite curious about the mysterious dancer that little Xinyan had mentioned.
What kind of beautiful dance did she perform?
But everything depended on fate.
If fate allowed, perhaps he would get to see her one day.
"Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
His mother rarely saw him distracted while walking, and couldn't help asking with some interest.
"Nothing."
Noticing his mother's somewhat dissatisfied expression, he smiled.
