Bringing Xiao Qi back to the campsite, everyone gathered around the fire, chatting and laughing. Seeing Wufu returning with a child in an extremely mismatched long robe, they curiously sized him up.
By the lakeside, Wufu had helped Xiao Qi shave off his messy long hair and tidied him up, revealing his delicate features.
But perhaps because he had never been around people, he now hid behind Wufu, and even when he poked his head out, his eyes were filled with vigilance, wariness, and hostility.
"This is Xiao Qi, from now on he'll be hanging out with me." Wufu pulled him out and introduced him to everyone.
Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi couldn't bear being stared at and turned to flee, but Wufu stopped him with a shout and dragged him to stand by her side, saying, "Don't be afraid, and you must not be afraid." With that, she pressed him to sit down.
"Young Master." Chi Yi handed over a roasted chicken.
