The squirrel's neurotic chatter immediately made Yu Sheng think of many things, including the possible "loopholes" in the forest, and the possibility of helping Little Red Riding Hood break the curse. However, before that, he became even more curious about the squirrel itself.
"Why... do you seem to always want to help Little Red Riding Hood escape from the forest?" he couldn't help staring into the squirrel's eyes, a mix of curiosity and seriousness in his tone, "Why?"
"What do you mean by why?" The squirrel was taken aback, "Does this need a reason?"
"Aren't you also an 'entity' born in this forest?" Yu Sheng furrowed his brows and asked directly, "You were helping me before—why would you think of actively helping a human who 'invaded' here?"
The squirrel just stood there blankly, rubbing its face with its paws, and muttered hesitantly, "Yeah... why indeed... why would I help..."
It suddenly froze, as if its brain had completely crashed.
