Nan Shu was listening intently to the conversation between the mother and son when a small head peeked out from the hole.

Before Nan Shu could see clearly, she immediately shrank back.

In that instant, Nan Shu was inexplicably charmed.

Liu Ming saw it clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Nan Shu a strange look.

Now he truly believed that Nan Shu could understand animal speech.

"It's a baby gecko."

Liu Mingdao.

Nan Shu understood; that explained it all—sleeping during the day and active at night.

Just as she was about to tell Liu Ming about the conversation between the mother and son, she caught a glimpse of the little head that had just peeked out again.

A pair of gray eyes stared at Nan Shu, filled with curiosity.

Nan Shu smiled at it.

The little gecko seemed to sense Nan Shu's kindness, and instead of hiding, it crawled out through the small hole.

The mother gecko stopped hiding, fearing that the two people in front of her would harm her cubs. She crawled out like a protective mother, covering most of her body with her little ones.

But remembering what the little brat had just said, she couldn't help but slap it on the head a few times with her tail.

"You think you can get away with being gentle just because others are gentle? So what if I have a loud voice? It's my nature, you little brat!!!"

The movement of its tail almost slapped the little gecko off the wall.

Liu Ming secretly gasped, subconsciously raising his hand to touch his head, inexplicably recalling the scene of being punished by his mother.

"Hey, Little Tiger's mom, stop hitting him, he'll go crazy if you keep hitting him."

Seeing that the little guy wasn't flinching and was just staring straight at her, Nan Shu spoke up for him.

I never expected to get myself into trouble.

"You're so good at playing the good guy!"

Little Tiger's mother stopped hitting him, looked at Nan Shu warily, and retorted bluntly, "None of you are good people!"

Liu Ming, who was inexplicably scolded: ...

Although he couldn't understand it, he felt as if he was being blamed.

Nan Shu coughed lightly, not angry at all. Looking at the gecko mother and baby, she thought the two little guys were very cute.

She curled her fingertips, couldn't resist, and reached out to pat Little Tiger's head.

Xiao Hu's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Nan Shu.

It likes this woman!
Seeing her cub like this, Tiger Mom got even angrier. She glanced at Nan Shu, wagged her tail, but ultimately didn't say anything to stop him.

After all that commotion, it truly believed that Nan Shu would not harm them anymore.

"Can you understand us?"

Little Tiger's mother looked at Nan Shu, her vertical pupils, which seemed to be covered by a layer of white film, were filled with curiosity.

It was the first time it had ever seen someone who could understand what they were saying.

"can."

Nan Shu patted Xiao Hu's head again. She had thought that reptiles like geckos would be cold like iron rods, but they weren't.

Nan Shu didn't know how to describe the feel, but she thought it was pretty good.

Are you looking for someone?

Little Tiger's mom isn't a gecko who can't distinguish right from wrong.

Thinking of Nan Shu's previous question, he continued to ask.

"Yes, he hurt people, so I need to find him."

Little Tiger, true to his youthful exuberance, felt comfortable being touched by Nan Shu. Taking advantage of his mother's inattention, he climbed directly into Nan Shu's hands, tugging at her fingers with his belly pressed against her palm.

Soft.

Nan Shu thought.

As Little Tiger's mother was pondering this, she was startled to see her son already in someone else's hands. She was terrified that if Nan Shu made a move, her son would be crushed to death, and Little Tiger wouldn't even have a chance to cut off his tail and survive.

But seeing that Nan Shu didn't move at all and was even interacting with her own son, it felt relieved.

“There is indeed such a person.” Nan Shu paused, looking at Little Tiger’s mother, “Did you see what he looks like?”

Before Tiger's mother could speak, Tiger blurted out, "I saw it! I saw it!"

"He was taller than this person, with big eyes, black eyebrows, and a black thing on his neck that smelled fishy and awful."

The "person" that Xiaohu was referring to was naturally Liu Ming.

Unfortunately, there are no portrait artists now, so we can't have him draw people based on what Xiaohu said.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Shu asked, "Little Tiger's mom, Little Tiger, would you like to come back with me?"

Fearing the two little ones might not understand what a portrait artist was, I explained it to them carefully first.

"Okay!"

"Can't!"

The mother and son spoke almost in unison.

After saying that, Tiger's mother glared angrily at her son and slapped him on the head a few more times. "This is our home. What if we can't come back?"

Xiao Hu hid towards Nan Shu.

"Mom, no, she wouldn't hurt us!"

How do you know? Just in case!

Little Tiger's mother noticed that Nan Shu had become wary again.

Nan Shu covered Little Tiger's mother's tail with her finger and quickly said, "It's okay, it's not convenient. I'll have the portrait artist draw one based on Little Tiger's words and bring it over for you to see. If it's not right, we can continue to revise it."

It's a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible.

Upon hearing this, Tiger Mom glanced at Nan Shu. She knew that Nan Shu was serious and that it wasn't a tactic of feigning retreat.

It retracted its tail and fell silent.

Little Tiger, however, refused.

"Mom, I want to go with her."

It had heard from those adults that the outside world was very fun and novel.

But its mother wouldn't let it go, and always said it was dangerous outside, so she made it stay in a designated area.

Xiao Hu refused.

It just wanted to go out and see the world, even if it meant dying.

Its father also died in an accident.

Little Tiger didn't want to die without ever seeing the world; that would be too frustrating!
So Xiaohu bravely defied his mother's wishes.

The mother and son stared at each other in silence, their eyes meeting.

As an outsider, Nan Shu didn't feel comfortable interrupting at this time, so she just waited quietly.

After staring at each other for several minutes, Tiger's mother finally gave in.

"I want to go too."

A family should be together all the time!
Nan Shu chuckled softly.

"it is good."

Nan Shu put the two little ones into her pocket. Little Tiger couldn't resist his curiosity and poked his head out of the pocket, swaying back and forth as he followed Nan Shu's steps.

Liu Ming followed behind, finding it amusing, his eyes occasionally glancing at the little guy.

In fact, Liu Ming was a rough man who didn't like animals much. He thought that cats and dogs all looked the same and there was nothing special about them.

But today, he discovered that animals also have a spirit.

They might even have similar thoughts to other people.

The two arrived in the lobby one after the other and saw Li Feng dressed in plain clothes.

When Li Feng was asking questions at the front desk, he saw Nan Shu and the other person and subconsciously glanced in their direction.

At first glance, he didn't even recognize Nan Shu. Instead, he saw Liu Ming first and recognized him. Then, as if he remembered something, his mind suddenly clicked, and he looked abruptly at Nan Shu.

Beside Li Feng was Xu Yunli, who had come along for some reason, intending to examine the bloodstains at the scene again. (End of Chapter)
