Lin Xiao stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.
As cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.
Lin Xiao saw the scene before him and couldn't help but smile slightly. The figure that had rushed over, due to Lin Xiao's evasion, uncontrollably collided with the purple-gold mastiff leading the way.
Indeed, the figure that had rushed out was our raccoon. Originally, the raccoon had been standing in place, but when it saw that the marriage flower it had been guarding had already been taken by Lin Xiao, it didn't know what to do. It tilted its head and thought, first thinking of the marriage flower. Now that the marriage flower was in Lin Xiao's hands, it was as if it needed to protect Lin Xiao.
This thought popped up in the raccoon's simple mind, and it immediately chased after Lin Xiao, leading to the current scene.
The purple-gold mastiff rolled several times before stopping. It hadn't even figured out what had happened when it was sent flying. Enraged, it got up, its head spinning, trying to see what had hit it. It saw the raccoon not far away, rubbing its head.
Turning around, it roared at the raccoon, as if questioning it. The raccoon seemed to understand and pointed at Lin Xiao, calling out. It was unclear how different species communicated.
However, the purple-gold mastiff was self-aware. It knew that with its speed, it couldn't catch the raccoon. After a few half-hearted roars, it returned to Lin Xiao's side.
Lin Xiao carefully examined the raccoon, his mind full of questions. Why was the raccoon still following him? Was it trying to take back the marriage flower?
Seeing Lin Xiao staring at it with a wary look in his eyes, the raccoon knew that Lin Xiao had misunderstood it. It immediately gestured and made sounds.
It was the purple-gold mastiff that understood the raccoon's meaning and conveyed it to Lin Xiao. The purple-gold mastiff had been with Lin Xiao for a long time, and Lin Xiao could understand its expressions.
Lin Xiao considered it for a moment. Having another strange beast following him could be a good thing, and it could also be a companion for the purple-gold mastiff. He nodded in agreement.
Seeing Lin Xiao nod in agreement, the raccoon happily did a few somersaults. A flash of golden light, and the next moment, it appeared on Lin Xiao's shoulder, grabbing his hair with both hands, standing on his shoulder, and wrapping its tail around Lin Xiao's neck.
Lin Xiao, seeing the raccoon charge at him, had instinctively prepared to dodge, but seeing that it had no ill intent, he decided to see what the raccoon wanted and stood still.
Seeing the raccoon's appearance, Lin Xiao smiled. However, the raccoon's fur was very soft and smooth, making him very comfortable.
The purple-gold mastiff, however, was jealous. It had never been on its owner's body like that. It glared at the raccoon with a fierce expression. The raccoon, seeing the purple-gold mastiff's expression, made a face, stuck out its tongue, and rolled its eyes, infuriating the purple-gold mastiff.
After the raccoon's interlude, the journey out of the deep mountains was uneventful. Many animals, seeing the little tyrant of the deep mountains out, dared not show themselves. Some clever ones followed from a distance, watching. Seeing Lin Xiao and the little tyrant leave the deep mountains, they excitedly ran back to their own kind, spreading the news. Those who had been played with by the raccoon cried bitterly, saying it had finally left. Those who hadn't been played with by the raccoon secretly rejoiced, thinking they would never be next.
Having left the mountains, Lin Xiao's home was in sight, and he hummed a little tune excitedly.
Suddenly, the purple-gold mastiff roared wildly and charged towards the nearby villa. Seeing this, Lin Xiao was secretly worried. Had something happened at home?
He didn't walk slowly anymore but ran as fast as he could towards his home. Upon closer inspection, everything seemed fine.
However, the purple-gold mastiff was still sniffing around, as if it had discovered something. Lin Xiao walked over to it.
The purple-gold mastiff, seeing its owner approach, ran up and tugged at Lin Xiao's pants, making him open the door and roar inside.
The raccoon, perched on Lin Xiao's shoulder, tilted its head, not understanding what was happening.
Lin Xiao took out his phone from his spatial storage, turned it on, and stared at the screen. His expression suddenly changed, becoming very grim.
The phone displayed a warning that an unknown person had entered the villa, and the alarm system had been continuously alerting. However, Lin Xiao had turned off his phone and put it in his spatial storage when he entered the deep mountains, so he only saw the alert now.
Lin Xiao adjusted his emotions and used his phone to open the villa's gate. Pushing the door open and entering, Lin Xiao, who had already braced himself, still couldn't help but react to the situation at home.
"Damn, don't let me catch you, stealing from me, what a nightmare," Lin Xiao cursed.
The entire living room was in complete disarray. The once tidy home was now a mess, with sofas on the ground and furniture scattered everywhere.
Lin Xiao, with a grim face, walked upstairs and checked the situation. All the doors had been forcibly opened, and if they couldn't be unlocked, they had been smashed with large holes.
He then checked the kitchen, which had fewer issues, but all the food in the refrigerator had been taken.
Suppressing his anger, he opened all the doors to check the damage. He opened his bedroom first, where the door had a large hole. The bed sheets and pillows were thrown on the ground, and all the drawers and cabinets were open, leaving a mess.
The incident had already happened, and Lin Xiao sat on the bed, calming himself. His eyes, however, became even colder. If he found out who did this, they would be in trouble.
He checked each guest room, and the situation was similar. Fortunately, Lin Xiao had put all his valuable items in his spatial storage before leaving, and since he hadn't been living in the house for long, many things hadn't been moved out of the spatial storage. This was a fortunate turn of events amidst the misfortune.
He tidied up his bedroom, throwing away the damaged items and putting the undamaged ones back in place.
Returning to the living room, he picked up the phone and called He Pingji.
"He Brother, it's Lin Xiao," Lin Xiao's calm voice came through the phone.
"Brother, what's up? Is something wrong?" He Pingji's groggy voice came through the phone.
It was only 8 in the morning, and He Pingji was still in bed. Lin Xiao's call woke him up, and seeing the caller ID, he answered the phone.
"It's like this. I was out for a few days, and my home was burglarized. Can you send some people over to handle this? Of course, we need to replace some of the furniture, as many of them were damaged by the thief," Lin Xiao continued in a calm voice, as if this wasn't happening to him. However, if you looked at Lin Xiao's expression, you would see that he was burning with anger.
"What? Thief?" He Pingji's groggy voice was immediately startled by the news, his voice rising more than an octave, especially on the word "thief," which rose another octave.
