Gu Shiting's heart gradually sank, as if it were sinking into a cold, deep abyss.
It was so cold around him that he was about to freeze.
He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to explain or refute, but Sheng Tang stopped him.
"Do you know about 'imprinting behavior'?" Sheng Tang asked him.
Gu Shiting nodded.
Imprinting behavior was a theory from Sheng Tang's world. This world has a similar concept called "imprinting response"; the theory is almost the same.
Seeing him nod, Sheng Tang still explained, "Newly hatched chicks or other newborn mammals will recognize the first moving object they see as their mother.
Just like ducks, if a duckling hatches and its mother isn't around, it will consider the first person it sees passing by as its mom."
Gu Shiting understood what she was trying to say.
