"Master Xiao, can you help me?"
"Please!"
Lu Huan bowed his head deeply. "I don't know who else I can ask for help with something like this."
"I'm also worried that someone I find at random might hurt her."
Even though he didn't know what the girl was, he was almost certain that whatever she was, she wasn't human.

He didn't know whether anyone else knew about the girl's unusual nature. He only knew that her identity had to be kept secret.

"You really trust me."
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"You're my classmate."
Lu Huan smiled wryly. "Compared with asking some stranger for help, I think you're much more trustworthy."

He cried out, his hand already pressed to his cheek.
What happened? Why did it hurt so much?
"Sorry."
Xiao Xiao's apology left Lu Huan puzzled. Then his gaze fell on the White Little Fox in Xiao Xiao's arms.
"Huh, a fox?!"
Had he really not noticed
