The guest looked at the child in Cai Tou's hands and said, "Don't carry him like that, let him down."
Cai Tou subtly stepped on the child's foot, signaling him to be smart and say nice things, but the child remained indifferent and knelt directly on the ground after being put down, not lifting his head.
Cai Tou could only forcibly explain, "He's been raised in the countryside his whole life, hasn't seen much of the world, so he's scared. But there's a benefit to that, he's honest and won't run away no matter how much you scold or beat him, just give him a full meal and he's fine."
The guest ignored Cai Tou's sales pitch and scrutinized the child carefully, asking, "Does he have a name?"
"Yes, yes!" Cai Tou replied hurriedly, opening his mouth to call out the child's name but suddenly realizing he didn't actually know it, he quickly pushed the child hard, "The gentleman is asking what your name is, hurry and say it!"
The child said woodenly, "Xia Sheng."
