Indeed, as Zhou Chao looked at Mu Lin and heard her words, his wariness eased off slightly. "My name is Zhou Chao, you can call me Chaochao."
Mu Lin smiled.
He clearly remembered his name, which was a good sign.
His self-introduction was quite good too.
Whether it was because Mu Lin was a girl or that she seemed non-threatening, Zhou Chao was obediently answering all of her questions.
Mu Lin looked to those around her, "Give us some space, he won't hurt this child, right Chaochao?" As she said the final sentence, her eyes were fixated on Zhou Chao.
He was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously nodded his head, appearing very solemn. "I won't." He explained as though he was justifying his actions. "I just... I want to get down. I'm scared of heights." His voice was full of grievance.
It was as though he'd finally found someone to confide in.
