Lin Qingze glanced at Gu Jiu, who was trying hard to make himself inconspicuous in the corner, then his gaze lingered on Gu Yuheng's calm face for quite a while. He didn't know what he was thinking but suddenly laughed and said,
"So, the 'toy thief' actually has quite the heart of a young girl, eh? It's just that the act is rather disgraceful."
Chuxia sighed and then said, "It might have been that mischievous kid who stole them. But that little brat was too greedy—I later bought three more, hoping to trade them for the first one I lost. In the end, she made off with those three as well and didn't return the original one to me."
To clear himself of suspicion, Gu Jiu spoke up voluntarily, putting on a curious and innocent face, "Miss, could it be that the person who stole the bears wasn't the same person? Ah, I mean, the person who took your other three bears might not be the same one who took your first bear."
"How is that possible! It was clearly the same person!"
