「Lunchtime.」
Huai Xu had plucked Tuanzi from the tree, holding her by the scruff of her neck.
And Tuanzi, behaving obediently, let him do so. Her limbs hung naturally, her tail covered her private parts, and her eyes were unconsciously fixated on the ground. Due to inertia, her tiny body was still swinging left and right.
Huai Xu tossed her onto the ground.
"MEOW…"
Tuanzi rolled on the ground for a moment before belatedly scrambling up. She shook her head, gradually regaining her senses.
She twisted her head, looking first at Huai Xu, then at Zhou Li. Next, she gazed at Brother Nan, Zheng Zhilan, Qinghe, and the group of big dogs gathered around to watch the excitement. After a long pause, she asked in a soft, gentle voice, "Why didn't you help Lord Dumpling down earlier? Lord Dumpling was calling out to you from up there for so long; my voice went hoarse."
"Didn't hear you," said Huai Xu.
