Si Luo answered and gripped the cardboard box tighter with her bony hands before hanging her head again looking a little frightful.
Yun Jian squinted and stared at Si Luo again, scrutinizing her, then pressed her lips together before she asked, "Are you not going home?"
There was a sharp gleam that flashed across her eyes as she spoke. It was like she had a new idea.
Si Luo did not look up at Yun Jian's words. She shrunk into herself and shook her head, replying, "I don't have a home anymore…"
"Would you like to follow me then?" Yun Jian asked promptly.
It made Si Luo snap her head up. Someone was willing to take her in? Was this… was this for real?
Holding the cardboard box and hugging it closer to herself, Si Luo looked at Yun Jian with her expressive pair of eyes. Her voice was a little shaky when she asked, "Are you… taking me in? You're really taking me in?"
