Back in Dragon Beast City, Maomao was running around the courtyard with his short, chubby legs moving as fast as they could. He was holding something tightly against his chest, as though it were a precious treasure.
Behind him, Lulu and Ruru were chasing after him.
"Maomao! Stop right there!"
"What are you hiding? Let us see!"
The two little girls were running after their brother, but Maomao refused to listen. He hugged the thing even tighter and ran towards the other side of the courtyard.
"You can't catch me!"
However, his little legs were too short to run very fast. Just as he was trying to turn around a corner, his foot suddenly caught on a small stone.
"Ah!"
Maomao stumbled and fell flat on the ground. The thing he had been holding immediately slipped from his arms and landed a short distance away.
"Maomao!"
Han Jue, who had been nearby, hurried over. He picked up the little cub and gently dusted off his knees.
"Does it hurt? Why were you running so fast?"
