Tian Lu blinked.
The girls blinked.
Everyone blinked.
"Squirrel?" Mo Xixi muttered.
"...What's that?" Yan Shu'er's gaze sharpened. "That sounds insulting."
Even Tian Lu tilted his head slightly, curious. "Beast?"
"Dangerous?" Yan Shu'er asked.
Mo Xixi scoffed. "Pfft. Can't be. Probably just some harmless weak creature."
"Maybe it's dumb-looking."
"Definitely twitchy."
"Skittish."
"Loud."
"Small."
"Overreacts."
"…Annoying."
They paused.
A long silence.
Then simultaneously pointed at each other.
"You're the squirrel!"
"No, you are!"
"You literally just described yourself!"
"You snort like one!"
"You scream like one!"
"You threw a pillow!"
"You threw it back!"
"No, you started it with that spin!"
…
Hao stared at the two of them. "…"
A muscle on his face twitched. He clutched his forehead.
Tian Lu didn't say a word. Just stood there. Holding them both up. His soul visibly giving up.
Hao slowly exhaled.
So this was it.
Double trouble.
