Chapter 2008 Talking to oneself
"Should I be the one asking you this question?"

Xiao Xiao's expression was slightly restrained, "What do you want to do?"

The man was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at the little monster lying on Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

It was the most obedient appearance of a monster he had never seen before.

……

Noticing the man's gaze, Feifei opened his eyes.

The silver-blue eyes were like cold, hard crystals.

Without any emotion.

Obviously looking at him.

But the man did not find himself in the other's eyes.

The man's body trembled.

He felt a little cold.

The air conditioning in this cafe is too strong.

He got goose bumps all over his body.

……

The man was not frightened by Feifei's appearance.

This is the posture that he imagines a monster to have.

He was just a little surprised.

The monster that looked so harmless before...became extremely aggressive in the blink of an eye.

really……

A monster is a monster.

Don't judge a monster by its appearance.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and gently touched Feifei's head.

It's rare for the little guy to be so angry.

……

The familiar temperature and touch on his head made Feifei feel less cold.

The little head rubbed Xiao Xiao's hand.

A faint smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

The man blinked.

He looked at the little white fox in the young man's arms, then looked at the little monster with white background and red stripes on his shoulder. After looking back and forth several times, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"that……"

He spoke.

Seeing Xiao Xiao looking over, he continued, "The one on your shoulder is different from the one in your arms..."

It's not like he hasn't encountered similar situations before.

Some people can't tell the difference between monsters and ordinary animals.

After all, some monsters' appearances are too deceptive.

For example, the one in front of you.

At first glance, it really looks about 50% similar to this little white fox.

"It's not an ordinary animal..."

Some people mistake monsters for ordinary animals and get close to them...

This is very dangerous.

especially……

The scene before him made the man frown more and more.

He had never seen such a harmonious scene between humans and monsters.

He controlled his hands from rubbing his eyes.

It seemed as if he was always surprised, which made him seem inferior.

How can he ask his master to accept him as a disciple when he is like this?
……

The man clenched his hands tightly under the table.

The short nails dug into the flesh.

Causes some pain.

It also made his thinking clearer.

"It's a monster."

“It’s dangerous.”

The man spoke fluently, "Give it to me."

"I'll handle it."

He will give it to the Master.

Master will take care of this little monster.

There was a hint of confidence in the man's eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

Then he looked at the man with a somewhat strange look.

It seemed like... this was the first time he met someone who talked to himself like this.

"so……"

"You just did this to save me?"

I want to take the dangerous monster away from him without him noticing.
"Yes."

The man nodded.

There was also a bit of strangeness in the look he gave Xiao Xiao.

He did the same thing many times.

It can be said that I am familiar with the process.

Unexpectedly, I fell down today.

He was caught red-handed.

bah bah.

The man immediately changed his words.

It was discovered.

What does it mean to be caught red-handed? He is not doing anything bad.

He is doing this for the other person's good.

Moreover, there are cases where the person involved is unaware that there is a monster around him.

If this is the case, the least troublesome approach would be for him to "take the monster away" without alerting the person involved.

He's always done this.

"I appreciate your kindness."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

The man couldn't help but laugh.

"But it's not necessary."

The smile on the man's face slowly faded.

unnecessary?
What do you mean?
Xiao Xiao touched Feifei's head again.

The little monster tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.

A comfortable look.

"Phiphi is my friend."

Xiao Xiao only said this one sentence.

He thought the other party should understand what he meant.

The man quickly understood what Xiao Xiao meant.

just
he doesn't understand
friend?

"How can humans be friends with monsters?!"

he blurted out.

"Shh~"

Xiao Xiao placed a finger in front of his lips.

The man's voice just now was too loud.

Fortunately, although the music here is soothing and melodious, the volume is quite high.

It did conceal a bit of what the man said.

The man was stunned.

A smirk suddenly appeared on his face.

He hadn't noticed before
He just likes to be surprised.

Just now
The young man's words really shocked him.

The man's eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Xiao and the little white fox.

"It's dangerous for humans to get too close to monsters."

His words seemed to be stating a fact.

It also seems like a warning.

"Befriending Monsters"

This is too ridiculous.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"Phiphi is my friend."

"It's no wonder that those who don't know what happened today don't blame you."

"But there won't be a next time."

If there were a next time, he would not stop Feifei from getting angry at the beginning.

Feifei looked at the small and soft one.

When someone gets angry, most people really can't bear it.

"why?"

The man was unwilling and full of confusion.

"A monster is a monster."

"Monsters are dangerous."

"Dangerous monsters should be dealt with."

"If you let it go."

The man took a deep breath, "This monster doesn't seem to have much attack power right now."

"Do you know why it follows you?"

"Have you noticed anything wrong with yourself?"

Looking at the man who wanted to move closer and take Feifei away from him, Xiao Xiao:
He thought, he is indeed a person who talks to himself.

He shook his head.

"No."

"I'm very good."

“You just don’t know what’s happening to you.”

The man retorted.

"By the time you find out, it will be too late."

The man sounded quite earnest.

"I know you can't bear to part with this little monster."

After all, even from his very picky perspective, this little monster was very cute and pretty.

"but-"

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Xiao interrupted the man who seemed to be about to go on to a long speech.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Phiphi is my friend."

"I will bear all the consequences of my choice."

The other party has said so much.
The man twitched his lips, then straightened his body slightly and stepped back a few steps.

He looked at Xiao Xiao deeply.

"Bear all the consequences?"

The man's tone was ambiguous. "You have to know that what you are facing is not a minor fight. It is likely to be a matter of life and death."

"Even so, do you want to keep this monster?"

"Coffee~"

Feifei arched his body, his mouth stretched to a grin, revealing his sharp teeth.

The little monster rarely took an attacking stance.
