The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

After cleaning up, everyone was given time to rest, especially the children since afternoon nap is important for them.

Little Melon was sleeping in the tent with Xia Meilin. Being pregnant made Xia Meilin sleepy that’s why as soon as she finished helping others, she went to their tent and took a nap.

Lu Yifeng watched over them for a while. Since he didn’t feel like sleeping, he went out of the tent and left the two there. When he looked around, he saw the teachers were preparing for the treasure hunting activity while some parents were walking around, spending time with each other while their children were asleep.

The place was so beautiful and serene that’s why it gave the perfect atmosphere for couples. The leaves swayed smoothly as the wind blew and the lake’s water was as clear as a glass. It was a beautiful such a beautiful sight that mesmerized everyone.

Just then, Lu Yifeng saw Yong Wei Qing, he went out of his tent and headed towards the forest.

Lu Yifeng narrowed his eyes, for some reason he couldn’t help but like something was wrong. He trusted his instincts that’s why he went and followed him, maintaining enough distance between them so that he won’t get caught by him. He made sure to hide his presence so that Yong Wei Qing won’t be able to know that he was actually being followed.

But as Lu Yifeng continued on following Yong Wei Qing, he came to a stop. Because of this, Lu Yifeng quickly hid behind the tree’s trunk.

"I know you’re there." Yong Wei Qing said.

Lu Yifeng was startled when he heard Yong Wei Qing’s words. He narrowed his eyes. Lu Yifeng was good in hiding his presence so how can Yong Wei Qing know that he was being followed? Lu Yifeng couldn’t think of any reason other than Yong Wei Qing was not an ordinary man... if he can tell that he’s there, then he must be dangerous.

Without further adieu, Lu Yifeng went out of his hiding spot and walked towards him. He wasn’t afraid to show himself to him.

Yong Wei Qing crossed his arms when he saw Lu Yifeng, he smiled as if he was expecting him to follow him. Despite this, he still asked: "Why are you following me?"

"Just making sure that you’re not up to something." Lu Yifeng replied coldly.

"What I’m up to is none of your business. You don’t have to worry about me, Mr. Lu. I am not your enemy." Yong Wei Qing said as he leaned against the tree’s trunk. "There’s someone else that you need to be more careful with if you don’t want your family to disappear."

Lu Yifeng’s eyes went sharp like an eagle’s with the words that Yong Wei Qing said. "Someone else?"

"She’s after your wife and son so protect them well." He stood up straight and turned away from him. "Consider this as a warning."

After he said that, Yong Wei Qing’s phone started ringing. He took a glance at Lu Yifeng before he answered it. "Jiejie."

Jiejie?

Little Melon woke up in the middle of his afternoon nap. When he saw that his father wasn’t inside the tent, he went outside to look for him. But instead of seeing his father, Little Melon saw Yong Xiao Yao who was sitting under a tree that was near the lake. She was holding a picture book and was looking at it.

He walked toward her and sat beside her. "Mello knows that book."

"No spoilers." Yong Xiao Yao said without looking at him.

Little Melon pouted. He just wanted to impress her and yet he failed before he can even start.

"Everyone is having their afternoon nap, why are you here?" Little Melon asked as he stared at her doll-like face. He admired her cute features, her lashes were long and her cheeks and lips has a natural shade of pink. Her cheeks looked soft, Little Melon was tempted to poke it.

He was about to poke her cheek when Yong Xiao Yao suddenly turned to Little Melon with a blank look on her face. "Why are you here?" Yong Xiao Yao asked.

"Mello’s looking for dada." He let out his most charming slash cutest smile. "How about Yaoyao?"

Yong Xiao Yao stared at him for a short while, looking unaffected by his charms. She suddenly reached out and lightly pinched his cheek before she turned back to her picture book, she turned the page before she answered: "Same."

Little Melon was surprised by what she did. His turned bright red as he touched the cheek that Yong Xiao Yao pinched.

Little Melon grinned happily and said, "You don’t look like you’re searching for your dada though."

"Mello as well."

Little Melon ended up pouting with this. He stood up and offered his hand to her. "Let’s go find our dada then!"

Yong Xiao Yao turned and looked at his hand without saying anything. Why is he always smiling? He was like the sun, shining so bright that it started to hurt her eyes.

Yong Xiao Yao is a quiet girl and because of this, other kids had a hard time being friends with her. Because of her weak body, she couldn’t join others in playing tiring games. Ever since she transferred to her new school, her classmates would try to befriend her but because of her quietness, she ended up being alone. That changed when Little Melon approached her. He was different from other kids, he was so persistent in befriending her.

"Come on, let’s go!"

"Papa will come back after he talks with mama."

"Well... He’s not back yet so let’s go find him." Little Melon insisted, he was still reaching out his hand to her.

Yong Xiao Yao pursed her lips. She closed her book and held his hand as she stood up. "Let’s go."
