"Brother?" Yu Mai did not understand where this new brother came from but when Mammy Lin introduced him to Ye Zexian, he politely bowed his head and said a stuttering hello before hiding behind Lang Ru. It was not his fault that he was scared of strangers, the last time some strange woman came to his house, he was sold away by his sister.
Thus, he learned to be wary of strangers. No matter who it was, he would be on his guard to make sure that he wasn't carried away again.
Ye Zexian felt his heart soften when he saw a young mer greeting him.
" Hello, is your Brother Liu inside? I am here to look for him," Ye Zexian smiled at Yu Mai with a friendly expression. Zi Mu tried to do the same but he was a tall man with a burly build and tanned skin as he worked on the fruit farm all day long.
Thus, when he smiled he looked really scary like a bear which caused Yu Mai to quake with fear as he hid behind Lang Ru.
