It was no wonder Gu Xi would think that way.
She was a child Li Ming had found. He had even been the one to chew through her umbilical cord after she was born.
The beginning of the apocalypse had been a time of utter chaos, making it impossible to trace who Gu Xi's biological parents were. If anything in this world could prove her identity, it was surely in Li Ming's possession.
Now, for certain people to repeatedly make a big deal out of her origins, their most likely target was Li Ming.
Because everyone in the know understood that throughout Gu Xi's entire upbringing, Li Ming had been a mentor, a father, and a brother to her. His influence over her was second to none.
Furthermore, due to her upbringing, Gu Xi was naturally a very emotionally detached person. It could be said that in her twenty-odd years of life, the only affection she had was tied to a small handful of friends, like Li Ming and Ye Xin.
It's said that rarity creates value, and the same was true for emotions.
