Xuetuan ran out and looked back, only to realize Xiao Jinyan hadn't followed, so it ran back with confusion.
Upon seeing Xiao Jinyan, Xuetuan raised its head to look at him and meowed at him once,

Lin Xian snapped back to reality and looked down at Xuetuan, who had returned. In the night, its deep blue eyes were unusually bright.
"Meow." Xuetuan reached out with its paw and scratched his leg as if puzzled as to why he wasn't moving.
Lin Xian pursed his lips as he watched Xuetuan's actions, roughly guessing its intention. Still, he hesitated inside, as his legs were too important to him; he couldn't gamble with his own legs.
