After getting smacked, Meng Lan scurried behind Shen Xin, looking aggrieved.
He peeked his head out, secretly watching Ma Tao and the others.
'Bad.'
'You won't let me come find you.'
Those were Meng Lan's true thoughts.
Shen Xin sighed and affectionately rubbed Meng Lan's head. Then he crouched down, pointed at Ma Tao and the others, and said, "Meng Lan, you can't act like this."
"Think about it, they're so good to you, especially Grandmaster Xu."
Shen Xin pointed at Xu Haisheng. "Have you forgotten? When you were very little, wasn't it Grandmaster Xu who took care of you? He prepared your food every day and played with you. They're not bad people."
'Once this case is over, I'll have to leave. What will happen then?'
'Will he just escape every day?'
Shen Xin's gift seemed to forge karmic bonds. It had happened with Teddy, and Meng Lan was showing the same tendency.
Teddy was easier to handle; he was just a Hunting Falcon.
