The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Hua Jinyan decided that this year's Christmas gift would be a set of pure gold blocks for Little Taotie.
Little Taotie handed Lou Lan a gold brick with a casual motion.
However, Lou Lan subconsciously took a step back.
Little Taotie immediately channeled Sherlock Holmes, taking out a pipe candy: "Teacher, why are you dodging? You must know there's a curse on the gold brick, right? You know the gold brick is from that Ancient Pagoda! Did you follow us? Otherwise, how could you know?"
A barrage of questions came down, leaving Lou Lan a bit dumbfounded.
He had only taken a step back.
And it was a very subtle, very small step.
How was he seen through?
Lou Lan stared at the pipe candy in Little Taotie's hand, having long heard that Little Taotie loved solving mystery stories. It seems now, she not only likes watching but also loves solving them!
