Si Fuqing, supporting her chin with her hand, began to ponder.
Little Bai glanced between Yu Xiheng and Si Fuqing, its fluffy cheeks supported by its little paws, falling into a contemplative silence.
It couldn't help but wonder if its human had been outsmarted.
Should it intervene?
As Little Bai licked its paw, ready to leap into Si Fuqing's arms, it suddenly caught the scent of food.
Its ears perked up, quickly pinpointing the source of the aroma.
Seizing the moment while Si Fuqing was deep in thought, it dashed towards Yu Xiheng and gulped down a piece of gold bullion, burping contentedly afterwards.
Well, if the human was going to be tricked, it wasn't its loss.
