Xie Lian didn't expect this kid to cling to him after he gave them a piece of bread. He was just doing a kind gesture, nothing more and nothing less.

But apparently the kid didn't see it that way. Because now he's got a child on just trail just walking behind him at a distance.

He can see the kid, of course. But he doesn't just want to scare them off. After all, it's just a kid. Xie Lian has lived long enough to understand that the kid probably doesn't mean much by it.

But it's a bit irritating to see the kid by so shy.

"Hey, kid... you know I can see you right?"

Xie Lian asks with a soft tone, giving the kid a small smile.
