"Dog, why are you here?" Just like him, the child at the gate was an orphan who suddenly appeared in this village and lived in dilapidated houses at the periphery of the village. Both of them had lived here for five or six years, relying on occasional assistance from the kind villagers.

"I don't need it." The child shook his head.

Yet Jing Qi did not listen to his words and pressed the sweet potato into his hand. He had to take it.
