"No money? Her money pouch must have been stolen by a thief." Sun Mo analyzed as he walked over, handing the packet in his hand to the girl. "These are osmanthus cakes. You can have them."

Lu Zhiruo looked up and threw a glance at Sun Mo. The girl didn't accept the packet and cowered back a little, avoiding his gaze.

"I'm not a bad guy!"

Sun Mo tried to ease his tone.

"Father said that all bad guys would say that."

Lu Zhiruo pretended not to hear what he had said.

"If you don't dare to speak to strangers, why would you leave home by yourself?"

This girl really didn't bring shame to her surname. She was like a newborn deer, cowardly and scared of strangers.

Lu Zhiruo remained silent, not saying a word, almost burying her entire head into her bag.

Sun Mo shook his head and turned to leave.

It was only when Lu Zhiruo heard the footsteps getting further and further away did she quickly look up. She saw the package placed at the side. After struggling for a few minutes, she then reached out her index finger and poked at it.

It was the scent of osmanthus cake!

"He doesn't look like a bad guy. Should I eat some?"

Lu Zhiruo picked up the package, but before she took a bite, she put it down again. "I better not. He might be hiding in some corner, waiting for me to take the bait!"

At the thought of this, Lu Zhiruo held onto her bag tightly and stood up. She tiptoed and looked around, only sitting back down when she didn't see anything.

"Should I eat it or not?"

Lu Zhiruo was hesitant.

Gurgle~

Her stomach was starting to growl again. Lu Zhiruo had been waiting here for one day and one night, ever since she lost her money pouch yesterday. She wanted to catch the thief but didn't manage to succeed.

"I'll just take one bite. Even if there are sleeping drugs in it, I wouldn't fall from just that bit, right?"

Lu Zhiruo couldn't stand starvation anymore. However, when she opened up the package and ate the osmanthus cake, her ears pricked up, like a small deer that had heard a ferocious beast getting near.

The footsteps she had heard earlier were coming back.

"This is bad! I really fell into the trap!"

Lu Zhiruo's face was filled with worry. She wanted to run away, but what if that thief happened to pass by when she had left? Wouldn't she miss the thief then?

The girl hadn't made her decision and Sun Mo was already standing in front of her.

"These are buns that had just come out. Do you want to try one?"

Sun Mo had casually brought the buns seller with him from the corner of the road. He then took a bite of one of the buns.

Lu Zhiruo glanced at the buns and then looked toward Sun Mo, assessing him seriously for the first time.

This person wasn't old, and his teeth were very white. He had a very gentle smile, which contrasted with the worry and reproach in his black eyes.

When she saw his gaze landing on her hand, Lu Zhiruo's face flushed up, and she quickly hid the osmanthus cake behind her back.
