"Nai~" The Little Immortal Deer squirmed in Du Yu's arms, tilting her fuzzy little head upward.
"Hehe." Du Yu couldn't help but laugh, but after the joy came the harsh reality.
He couldn't give her a home.
Looking around, Du Yu spotted a big tree, plopped himself down, and began to worry in secret.
The Little Immortal Deer stretched out her little head and gently nuzzled Du Yu's cheek. With her keen spirit, she seemed to sense Du Yu was troubled.
This simple gesture left Du Yu feeling completely helpless. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
In the distance, the horizon was ablaze with red.
The afterglow of the sunset shone over the boy sitting cross-legged under the tree, illuminating the Little Immortal Deer curled up in his arms as well.
"Doo... doo... doo..."
On the other end of the line, a familiar voice teased with a touch of humor, "Can't wait until you get home to ask?"
This time, there was no more background noise on her end of the call.
