"Little monkey, little monkey, do a somersault for me to see!"
Dou Dou tiptoed, stealthily approaching the macaque squatting on the tree branch, her round eyes full of curiosity. Her little hand quietly reached out, wanting to touch its sleek, shiny back fur.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a gentle glow on the macaque's brown fur, making it appear indeed obedient and adorable.
"Be careful, it might scratch you. Wild monkeys aren't so tame."
Xiao Yue floated nearby, speaking with a tone of reminder, her eyes never leaving the eager look on Dou Dou's face.
"No, it won't!"
Dou Dou retorted without turning her head, her small hand already close to touching the monkey hair, "Look how well-behaved it is, it must be... wow~"
The words hadn't even landed when the macaque suddenly turned its head, its eyes instantly becoming wary, sharp claws extending with a "swish," scratching directly toward Dou Dou's cheek.
