"Maybe."
The little girl woke around midday.
She sat up, rubbed her eyes and immediately looked toward Su Yubing.
"Are we going home?"
Su Yubing reached over and fixed the girl's messy hair.
"We're going back to the Southern Continent."
The girl nodded.
"Then can I stay with you?"
Mo Yuxin looked at the child.
She had never been particularly good with children, but after traveling with this one for so long, she had become used to her presence.
"Until we find your family."
The little girl smiled.
"Okay."
Su Yubing looked at Mo Yuxin.
"That was almost gentle."
"I am always gentle."
"You're terrifying."
"Only when necessary."
The little girl raised her hand.
"Sister Mo."
Mo Yuxin looked at her.
"What?"
"Can I call Sister Su my mother?"
Mo Yuxin's expression changed instantly.
Su Yubing covered her mouth to hide her laughter.
"No," Mo Yuxin said.
The child looked disappointed.
Mo Yuxin hesitated.
"You can call her Aunt Su."
Su Yubing looked at her.
