Yi felt that Chen Dudu's emotions came and went quickly, but she couldn't quite figure them out. However, she always saw things clearly, and if she couldn't understand something, she wouldn't dwell on it and would just let it be.
There was a moment of silence in the air, as if it had suddenly frozen.
Chen Dudu opened her mouth, and after a long while, she cautiously asked, "Yi Yi, do you really... really want to see Mu Nanxun?"
"Yes!" Yi Yi nodded emphatically without hesitation, her expectant eyes fixed on him. "Dudu, do you know anything about him?!"
This was the first time Chen Dudu had been stared at so intensely by Yi Yi, but the other woman's enthusiasm was not because of him.
A fleeting look of panic crossed his face, but he quickly concealed the complex emotions in his eyes and denied it, "No...no."
Disappointment instantly filled Yi Yi's face, and she looked indescribably downcast.
Dudu wouldn't lie to her; if he said no, then it must be true.
However, there was still no news of Mumu here, which made Yi Yi feel disappointed and sad.
It's okay, maybe Dudu just hasn't met Mumu yet. She believes Mumu is still alive, and as long as she keeps searching, she'll definitely find him.
“Oh right, Dudu,” Yi Yi suddenly realized that this place should be the jungle beyond the pool. “Where is this place? How did you get here?”
"Idiot." Chen Dudu scolded her irritably, "This is the jungle in the eastern suburbs, and it's also our new home."
"Us?" Why would they suddenly move here from their original, vast jungle area?
Chen Dudu nodded, her eyes slightly grave. "Almost the entire spirit fox clan has migrated here. Somehow, humans wandered into that forest before, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they discovered our spirit fox clan's presence. Our eldest, Grandma Arno, was almost captured by them. Although this human invasion didn't cause us any real harm, we can't guarantee they won't return at any time. The spirit foxes in the clan discussed it and decided that that place was no longer safe, so we rallied everyone overnight to come here."
So that's how it is. No wonder I ran into Chen Dudu here. So, Yu'er, and all the spirit foxes in the clan are here. She's somehow ended up back home by accident.
"That's good. This jungle is a bit small, but there's a crocodile pond right outside, and no one has ever been here before, so it should be safe. Oh, right—" Yi Yi suddenly slapped her forehead, stood up, but because she stood up too quickly, she swayed, lost her balance, and fell rapidly downwards.
Fortunately, Chen Dudu reacted quickly and reached out to catch her waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Be careful. You're always so impulsive; it's worrying."
"Hehe." Yi Yi stuck out her tongue shyly and quickly jumped away from Chen Dudu's arms.
Chen Dudu's hand froze in mid-air for a long time before finally falling down. Yi Yi... she's so eager to keep her distance from him, she's really different from before.
It's because of Mu Nanxun, isn't it?
He should have known.
"What were you trying to say?" Chen Dudu asked.
"I just wanted to ask, did you find anyone else when you were saving me? Hmm, you've met that person before, she's the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Xia Bingqing."
They fell off the cliff together, and they must have been not far apart in the water.
