Qin Sisi was suddenly tense, her mouth slightly open, her eyes shifting onto Xiao Hei.
Could it really be Xiao Hei? But why?
Xiao Hei seemed to sense Qin Sisi's change in emotion. It turned its head to look at her, brushed her palm away with its head, and blinked its eyes.
On Qin Sisi's palm a line of text appeared: "We'll talk back home."
Qin Sisi stared at Xiao Hei for a while, eventually giving a slight nod. Then she absent-mindedly finished her dumplings, hardly tasting them.
At the checkout, the man from earlier was at the counter. Qin Sisi cautiously asked, "Excuse me, is the boss lady alright?"
The man smiled, replying, "No worries, she just got a little scared. Thank you for your concern!"
Qin Sisi responded with a challenging smile, and then left the dumpling restaurant with Xiao Hei.
Qin Sisi walked swiftly back home. Once she arrived, she eagerly pulled Xiao Hei from her bag and asked anxiously, "Xiao Hei, what's going on?"
