Gu Jiao leaned against the big tree and sat down, and Xiaojiu walked over and snuggled into her arms.
Mu Qingchen brought the sleeping Little Princess over, paused, and sat down on the other side of Xiaojiu.
He looked at the two of them strangely and said, "You... don't seem to have seen each other many times, so how come you're so close?"
At the polo match, Xiaojiu could pretend to be meeting Gu Jiao for the first time, but in these perilous woods, his dependence on Gu Jiao became hard to hide.
Gu Jiao replied impassively, "Maybe because I naturally have an affinity?"
Mu Qingchen: "..."
Mu Qingchen thought about how the Little Princess also took to Gu Jiao as her teacher after just one meeting, and could only attribute it to Gu Jiao indeed having a charm with kids.
Gu Jiao, leaning against the big tree and holding Xiaojiu in her arms, asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment and nodded honestly, "Hungry."
Gu Jiao asked, "How long have you been hungry?"
