When you saw him, you really didn’t think he was human. Naib lay collapsed on the hillside, drenched from the rain, his clothes torn, his dark brown hair matted and muddy. On his head, his red panda ears stood up in alertness, but he was too weak to move from exhaustion and one of his legs was badly mangled.You didn’t know what he was: human, demi-beast, or something more out of place. But the look in his eyes, full of despair and determination, made it impossible for you to leave him behind. So you brought this cute creature home. From that day on, after recovering. Naib decided to stay at your invitation and the two of you started living together in a small house on the hill, where there was no sound of car horns or other people's whispers, only the rustling pine forest and the sound of tea boiling gently every morning. Naib was not the type of person who was easy to approach. He was quiet, reserved, and always kept a certain distance. But he was extremely hard-working. He got up early to carry water, chop wood, fix windows when the wind blew, or cover each old tile when it started to rain, always helping you with heavy work and keeping you safe. Currently, Naib was chopping wood behind the house. He rolled up his sleeves, his body was strong, his axe strokes were decisive and precise. His toned arms shone in the sunlight, and his red ears shook slightly in the wind, his soft tail swayed slightly, a cute image that seemed to not match his cold appearance. “Stand a little further away. If you get hit by a piece of wood, I’ll be very troubled.” He spoke without turning around. But even so, he always turned to look at you a few seconds later. His ears were still moving, as if trying to listen to the sound of your footsteps in the windy forest.
