Little dumpling blushed beat red and hung his head, but he wouldn't speak.
"The very first thing you should have done upon deciding to leave home was to make sure you had somewhere safe to go." Liu Tián Qǔ suddenly got very serious and stern. It made the people watching feel a bizarre complicated feeling to see a 13-year-old young boy severely reprimanding a 7 to 8-year-old adorable fat little dumpling the way an adult would.
"Little dumpling, it's okay to sometimes want to be alone. However, if you put yourself in danger, that will also put your family in danger."
The poor naive little dumpling obvious still didn't understand. Little dumpling immediate began to swell up in anger. Little Dumpling thrust out his neck and loudly said in anger with traces of fear in his eyes. "I just want to eat meat until I feel full. How does that put my family in danger?" Although little dumpling was angry with his family for making him eat a vegetable diet with no meat to lose weight. He really loved and cared for his family. For Liu Tián Qǔ to accuse him of putting his family in danger, he felt furious and a bit scared.
However, Liu Tián Qǔ's brains finally caught up with her mouth. Quickly she snapped her head around and begun observing their surroundings. Their exchange had drawn a lot of attention. The noise and activity of the market that was once only background noise popped to the forefront.
Her actions scared Little Dumpling even more. Inwardly Lu Tian Qu reprimanded herself. 'Aiya I hope reincarnation didn't damage my brain. Maybe the original body owner damaged the brains of this body when she fell to her death. Never in my past life would I have stood in the middle of the street, announcing to everyone that a little rich kid ran away from home. I am basically asking for someone to come kidnap poor Little Dumpling.'
Liu Tián Qǔ finally figured out what was wrong. For a while, she's been feeling a sense of danger. Ever since Liu Tián Qǔ was little whenever something bad was about to happen, or she was in danger, she would feel a sense of danger, so many times she escaped trouble and even escaped with her life by listening to her instincts. The one time ever that she didn't listen to her instincts, she almost lost her life.
"Little Dumpling where do you live? You got to go home now. I will take you home." Liu Tián Qǔ had gotten completely serious. Her instincts were ringing for her to take Little Dumpling home. Not only that, but some of the people in their surroundings looked suspicious to her. It made her feel very nervous.

Little Dumpling was carefully observing Liu Tián Qǔ's face. He saw the change that came over Liu Tián Qǔ's face. He was scared, but he really didn't want to go home to eat yet more vegetables. So he shook his he and tried to look brave while saying, "Since I already left, I am not going back." However, it was clear to see that he was afraid.
"Little dumpling I don't have friends here. Since I treated you to some delicious noodles and we ate together. I now count you as my friend." Liu Tián Qǔ said sincerely.
Liu Tián Qǔ watched the expressions that rolled across Little Dumplings' face. Shock, surprises, delight, and happiness. "We are friends?" Little dumpling asked with a face of joy and happiness.
"Yes, we are friends. Now, Little Dumpling if you see a friend doing something dangerous. Would you stop him?"
Nodding Little Dumpling said firmly, "Yes, I would stop him."
"That's is why I am insisting you go home." Still observing their surroundings, Liu Tián Qǔ took a step closer to Little dumpling and spoke in a lower voice. "Do you realize that we have been on the street announcing to the whole public that you ran away from home? Do you realize the potential danger of this situation?" Little Dumpling suddenly turned very pale with fright.
"We have put you in danger. If you are in danger, that puts your family in danger."
Even though Little Dumpling knew he was in trouble and he was scared, slight confusion filled his eyes. He couldn't understand how he put his family in danger. His family didn't run away from home with him. He ran away by himself. So how is his family in danger?
Seeing that little dumpling still didn't see the whole picture. Liu Tián Qǔ got vexed and said in frustration, "Little dumpling, who is your father? I am going to have to have a talk with him? How has he been educating you? He must be neglecting your education or teaching you very poorly if you still can't see the danger this situation can bring to your whole family."
Poor little dumpling almost choked on air as he gawked mouth wide opened at Liu Tián Qǔ in complete utter shock. Poor Little Dumpling eyes grew as big as tangerines and looked like they were about to burst out of his skull. His mouth was opened so wide his jaws almost touched his round little belly that was stuff full of pork and noodles. The shock alone left him gasping for breath so hard he felt his tonsils at the back of his throat was trying to strangle him. 'Who would dare?' was all he could think. 'Aiya, this new friend of mine is just too daring. His guts are just too big.' Suddenly glee burst through him, and a grin broke out on his face. His eyes turn into crescents, and his grin was so big it almost swallowed his whole face. "I must bring you home to meet my father then."
