At that time, his intention was to check if her tonsils were inflamed, so he refused to even speak.
Yet when he lifted her chin, her mouth remained tightly shut, like a thin line.
Liuchang's eyebrows narrowed slightly, as he wondered: Why is this kid being so stubborn? Is she afraid of him?
Considering she was just a child, he softened his approach a little, gently stroking her hair with his other hand. He said, "You know we're like big brothers in the team, right? Adults should have told you, the big brothers in the team are the most reliable, they won't bully you, and they want the best for the people. Can you tell me why you won't speak?"
Why she refused to speak in front of him at the time, he probably would never understand in his entire life. It was because she was shy; she didn't want to stutter in front of him. She didn't want to be laughed at by others when she stuttered, which would shatter the little self-esteem she had.
