Bao Bei had gone to the evening party because he was lured by the promise of delicious sweets—but it turned out to be a terrifying place for him.
The hall was filled with a large crowd of people who are dressed in heavy and flashy outfits.
That alone was enough to scare him, but then he got surrounded by a group of fat, unfamiliar men.
They seemed to be greeting Jihl, but to Bao Bei, who didn't know them, they were nothing but scary.
He thought his fear of humans had gotten better, but now, Bao Bei was so frightened that his whole body was trembling.
All the manners and social skills he'd learned at the Lowenthal estate flew out of his head and he could only cling desperately to Jihl's jacket.
Just when it seemed like Jihl was about to move away from the group, they were suddenly surrounded again—this time by a crowd of women in glamorous dresses.
The smell of makeup and perfume was overwhelming for Bao Bei's sharp nose.
