Shanshan slumped back against the wall, hugging her knees and looking disappointed. "I'm all alone. I feel lonely and uneasy…"
Youyou's heart softened at her helplessness.
Gong Fan tugged at his wrist.
Youyou was aware that he was reminding him not to trust anyone so easily.
Youyou, however, took his hand and said, "Let's take her!"
"…?" Gong Fan was a little shocked by his risk-taking.
Youyou looked at Shanshan and then turned to the boy again. "I feel she might be of some help to us. Besides, that man is one thing, but would you be afraid of such a delicate girl?"
"A girl? Delicate?" Gong Fan couldn't help laughing. "Youyou, you can't judge a book by its cover. You can't judge a person from their appearance alone if they're a threat to you."
"Then by the same token, one has to take risks in life. Neither of us would have come here if we had no sense of adventure! Eh?" The boy was beginning to convince Youyou bit by bit.
