Hunting Culkin
Chen Xiaolian saw the indignation and grievance within Qimu Xi’s eyes and he said in an impassive tone, “Do you feel wronged?”
“… … …”
Chen Xiaolian said coolly, “Don’t feel wronged and don’t think that I am bullying you. You need to get this one thing straight. I am neither your father nor your mother. I have no obligation to protect you. Since you are coming along with me, you will get my protection, my food and benefits. However, you must also contribute. This is a cruel game; enjoying benefits without contributing anything? There is no such thing in this world. Don’t tell me you are just a little girl. No one cares about that. No one will give you preferential treatment because of that either!
“Truth be told, the fact that I am willing to take you along and not let you die in the wasteland was already an act of kindness on my part.”
