Xiu Yan's large body flopped onto the heated bed, instantly morphing into a chubby cub, then with his chubby legs, he scampered to the furthest corner. He also dragged a beast skin blanket over his tiny body, curling up with his round head underneath.
Acting with the firm resolution of an animal that won't move.
Ji Nuan rubbed her forehead, somewhat exasperated. This big 'kid' and the little 'kid' were really quite childish.
"Brother Xiu Yan?" Ji Nuan walked over and sat by the heated bed, calling out to the mischievous Beast.
The Cub's tail wagged, but he kept hiding under the blanket without coming out.
With a laugh, Ji Nuan patted the raised part of the blanket: "Brother Xiu Yan, if you don't go, Uncle Ge Xing certainly won't share our metal tools with us. I still have a lot of things I want!"
The wagging tail halted. The chubby cub's head peeked out from under the blanket. His round eyes looked towards Ge Xing's direction: "Woof woof?"
