Gu Luosheng rolled across the ground, grabbed a wooden stick, and hurled it at the wild boar. "You want to eat me? Aren't you worried about indigestion?"
Luckily, Gu Luosheng rolled straight into a nearby cave. That worked out nicely-the boar outside was too big to get in.
Gu Luosheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes! I knew it wasn't my time to die."
Gu Luosheng turned around and found a pair of dark eyes staring at her.
"Who are you?" The boy's voice was soft and youthful, with an urgent edge. More importantly, he had a gun.
[Th-this... this guy is an antique restorer and art appraiser. He's seriously badass. If things follow the book's plot, he'll soon become one of Gu Luoxi's people. He's pretty innocent and easily manipulated. Later, under Gu Luoxi's influence, he'll help her do bad things. I don't know why he's here, but hurry up and win him over.]

"Hey, kid, are you lost?" Gu Luosheng tried to sound as gentle as possible, not realizing that with mud all over her face, she looked rather like a child kidnapper.
"It looks like you're the one who's lost," the boy said flatly.
Gu Luosheng chuckled. "Yeah, I am... I have no idea how to get out of here."
"How about you show me the way out?" Gu Luosheng asked ingratiatingly.
The boy merely gave her a cold glance. "In your dreams."
Gu Luosheng: ...
It seemed this kid wouldn't be easy to win over.
"Are you planning to eat those things raw?" Gu Luosheng asked.
"What else would I do?" The boy shifted to the side, putting more distance between himself and Gu Luosheng.
Gu Luosheng's eyes lit up.
