Don't Lie To Me

Li Xueyue was puzzled by the sight of Xiao Lizi here. The chestnut horse was drinking water from the flowing stream. At the sound of approaching footsteps, Xiao Lizi lifted her head and curiously tilted it.

Li Xueyue climbed off of Heiyue and guided him towards the stream. Under the moonlight, the flowing water glistened. Fireflies weaved through the tall blades of grass. 

Once she had set foot on the ground, Li Xueyue realized exactly how short she was. The grass reached her waist, and she struggled with each step.

"Xiao Lizi, where is your Master?" Li Xueyue asked the horse, wondering if Xiao Lizi would be able to understand.

Xiao Lizi merely tilted her head and lowered it to drink more water. Heiyue did the same, except he had been licking at the grass in confusion until Li Xueyue guided his head towards the water.

"Is he around here?" Li Xueyue pressed on. But Xiao Lizi flicked her tail and continued drinking.
