Mm... Ming

Ming didn't rush his steps when he saw Xinyi's mood lightened toward him. Big brother Lofey will understand if I'm late with the clamor at the city gates. 

They leisurely stroll as she shared on how she spent her days in the valley. 

She mentioned that she loved to play around with animals, that she read them her books while leaning on a black bear's body, the time when she took a bath for hours while swimming with the eels and turtles in the river, about an event she scolded a snake who tried to steal a bird's egg, on how many times the python cradled her to sleep and laid her on bed, and others. 

Ming clearly understood that she grew up with animals but not much interaction with humans aside from the two single old ladies. While talking, he occasionally addressed her with her name because she smiled shyly every time he said it.
