Luo Qi instantly became nervous. She did not even know where to put her hands and feet.
Gu Yundong sighed softly and poured a cup of hot tea for her. Then, she said, "Luo Qi, don't panic. I don't eat people. I'm just chatting with you."
"…Talk, talk about what?"
"About you," Gu Yundong said. "Luo Qi, since I promised your mother that I would take good care of you, I will definitely do it. You don't have to be afraid of me, and you don't have to be tense all the time. I won't chase you away, and I won't use violence against you. So if you have anything you want to say and feel uncomfortable, you have to say it, okay?"
Luo Qi looked at her in a daze and pursed her lips.
Gu Yundong knew that she could not let go. This was normal. She was just an eight-year-old child who had never left Linxun Island. She had just lost her mother and had no one to rely on. It was too difficult for her to live freely in front of someone she had only known for a few days.
