Chou Rong's gaze lingered on the Merfolk on the stone bed for a moment before turning to Bai Wanwan. "I hear you've been going to Beast Pet Street often lately?"
Bai Wanwan nodded lightly. "Mhm, just going out for a walk."
"It wasn't him who took you?" Chou Rong asked pointedly, glancing at the unconscious Merfolk.
After a moment of thought, Bai Wanwan shook her head in denial.
"Since you want to see other Merfolk, I'll bring them here tomorrow." As soon as Chou Rong's words fell, no one noticed the faint tremor of the Merfolk's tightly closed eyelids.
Night fell. Zhu Xiu returned under the moonlight, but before he could even sit down, Chou Rong stopped him. "Come with me for a moment."
Zhu Xiu's cold eyes shifted slightly. "What is it?"
"It's about Wanwan."
The two moved to a corner of the courtyard. Zhu Xiu was instantly on alert. "Did something happen at home?"
