Juhua saw a small shadow dart around the corner.
She lurched forward immediately, rushing over to grab it by the collar.
A high pitched yelp responded and Juhua was not pleased. She was not pleased at all! "What are you doing!? Did I not tell you to lay low?"
Xuxu flailed in her grasps, quickly putting a finger to his lips and telling her to shush.
Juhua could only look at the kid incredulously.
"Please…I'll tell you later. I have something to show you…"
Xuxu made these big puppy dog eyes at her and Juhua sighed, feeling weak to the kid's inherent cuteness. She mumbled a quiet, "Fine…what is it?"
Xuxu shyly took her hand into his own and led her down the wooden bridge over the lily pond.
He pointed toward the dark shadow of a tree in the distance, "Can you see it, jiejie?"
Juhua's eyes were better than Xuxu's so of course, she could see the shadowy outline of a person loitering about.
