People's initial instinctive reaction in times of danger was to protect themselves.
However, Gu Jin's actions had left an indelible mark on An Mingji's mind.
When danger came knocking, she chose to protect him first. How could it not move him?
An Mingji slowly looked down to conceal his emotions, which did not belong to someone of his age, from her. Yet, his arms around Gu Jin gradually tightened.
Sensing his action, Gu Jin thought that he was afraid and tried to comfort him gently. "Don't worry, the wild boar is dead."
"Okay," An Mingji replied, still shivering in fear.
Gu Jin put him down and led him toward Du Aiqing.
"What should we do with this wild boar, Brother Du?"
Du Aiqing cut the wild boar's throat open with his shovel just in case the wild boar was not dead but merely unconscious. It was a bloody scene.
Hearing Gu Jin's words, he furrowed his brows slightly before he looked extremely delighted.
