The boy hesitated for a moment.
His suspicious eyes glanced at Feng Fuce, then looked towards Bai Zhi’er.
Although Feng Fuce usually seemed cold and heartless, he had actually arranged for an attendant to change his bandages daily.
And every time Bai Zhi’er saw him improve, she would be happy.
The boy’s gaze darkened.
Do they really care about him?
Feng Fuce then turned to Bai Zhi’er and said, "He doesn’t have a name yet, why don’t you give him one?"
The boy snapped out of it, clenched his fists, and retorted, "I have a name!"
Feng Fuce looked at him with a cool gaze, "What is it?"
"I..." The boy paused, gritted his teeth, "Why should I tell you?"
Feng Fuce sneered, "Then that means you don’t have one."
Bai Zhi’er immediately said joyfully, "Brother Ce, when we met him, his leg wasn’t fully healed."
"Through his own efforts and unyielding determination, I was taken aback. Given that, his name will be—"
The little one pondered for a moment, and everyone’s eyes fell on her.
They were all waiting for the little princess to come up with an astonishing name.
Then, Bai Zhi’er said with a cheerful smile, "Let’s call him Guoguo."
The boy nearly stumbled and fell.
"What kind of ridiculous name is this! You just went on a long spiel, how does it relate to Guoguo at all!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes, her little voice innocent and cute.
"I saw you walking freely here, and it’s memorable, you know. This is my orchard, isn’t Guoguo a nice name?"
Feng Fuce nodded slightly, "It’s fine, let’s settle on that."
The boy wished he could bang his head against the wall, "Don’t randomly decide my name like that!"
If it weren’t inconvenient for him to reveal his name now, he wouldn’t let these two decide so frivolously!
Bai Zhi’er giggled sweetly, "Guoguo, you’re too skinny, you need to eat more to grow taller!"
After saying that, the little one reached out, as if trying to pat the boy’s head like an adult would.
However, she underestimated the height difference between them.
Even on tiptoe with her arm fully extended, she could only reach the boy’s chin.
The boy let out a cold laugh.
Just before he could mock, Feng Fuce had already bent down and lifted Bai Zhi’er up.
With Feng Fuce’s help, the little one managed to pat the boy’s head twice.
The boy was dumbfounded, and after realizing, a vein popped up on his forehead.
"Are you two just bored? Keep messing with me for what reason? In Quanshan, wild beasts run rampant, stealing food, even eating livestock, and the people around suffer greatly."
"If you have so much energy, go subdue the beasts instead! Stop bothering me!" the boy said angrily.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her round eyes and turned her head to look at Feng Fuce, "Where is Quanshan, Brother Ce?"
Feng Fuce said calmly, "A beautifully scenic deep mountain."
The little one’s eyes lit up, "Then someday, Brother Ce will take me there for an outing!"
Just as well, she could also see if the domineering beasts truly existed as claimed. This update is available on ⓝovelFire.net
The boy chuckled, "An outing? Do you know how fierce and powerful the beasts are there? The village where I was would be raided by them every few days."
"Even strong oxen would be dragged away by them. With just the two of you going, you’ll at least get injured if not killed."
"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, can you withstand ferocious beasts? If the beasts were so easy to subdue, the villagers would have driven them off long ago."
Bai Zhi’er’s eyelashes curled, her big eyes watery.
"I’m not afraid, with Brother Ce by my side!"
She looked at Feng Fuce, asking, "Right? Brother Ce, you will come with us!"
