Yu Shen was suddenly pulled to the side. His back bumped against the tree trunk.
âWhere is Young Master?â
âYoung Master is gone. Hurry up and find him!â
Yu Shen could hear the footsteps of the bodyguards. They were running toward them. Some of them started looking around.
Yu Shen felt that they would be discovered.
However, they werenât.
The bodyguards searched for a while. They couldnât find Yu Shen so they left and went to look elsewhere.
Yu Shen looked at Ming Shu, who was hugging him.
The girl stood up straight and released his hand. She tidied her hair and then asked him, âWhere do you want to go?â
Yu Shen was disappointed when he felt her hand moving away.
âSeaside.â
âSeaside?â Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âThere is no place you can see the sea in this city. We need to go to the city beside us.â
It wouldnât take long by train so they could go if they wanted to.
Yu Shen frowned slightly. âI just want to go to the seaside.â
âYour body...â
âIâm fine,â Yu Shen replied quickly. He slowly repeated himself, âIâm fine!â
âIâm scared that your bodyguards will kill me if they find out that I took you out of the city. That is not worth it.â
Yu Shen looked at her in disappointment.
âHowever...â Ming Shu smiled gently. âIf you kiss me, I will take you there.â
Yu Shen glared at her.
Yu Shen felt different toward her but that didnât mean that he was willing to kiss Ming Shu now.
He decided to go back.
âFine.â Ming Shu pulled him. âDid you bring your identity card?â
Yu Shen wanted to push Ming Shu away, but Ming Shu grabbed onto his hand tightly.
Yu Shen couldnât move. He missed the warmth of her hand.
âNo.â Yu Shen knew that he needed his identity card to go to other cities so he got disappointed again. âForget it.â
Yu Shen thought that Ming Shu would go back, but they still managed to get into the car.
...Okay, it was a bus.
Ming Shu sat beside him and fiddled with her cellphone.
She needed to tell Old Mister Wen that she took Yu Shen out. If not, the entire house would be in chaos. If anything happened to Old Mister Wen, she would feel bad.
Old Mister Wen didnât say much. He just asked her to be careful and keep a close watch over Yu Shen.
He would talk to the bodyguards. She didnât need to worry about that.
âAh, so handsome...â
âSo white... is that his skin color?â
âWho wants to get his number?â
âYou go...â
The girls opposite them had been excited ever since they got onto the bus.
The prettiest girl among them was pushed out. She sat on the seat closest to Yu Shen and tidied herself.
âErm, handsome brother...â the girl said in her sweet voice. She was a little nervous. âCan I have your number?â
Yu Shen shook his head.
âYou can give me your WeChat...â
Yu Shen shook his head again.
âErm...â The girl didnât give up. âWhere are you going?â
Yu Shen wanted them to stop bothering him. Suddenly, a cap was put on his head. The person sitting at the seat inside stood up and asked him to move in.
Yu Shen moved in.
Ming Shu sat outside and looked at the girl. âMiss, where do you want to go?â
âErm... to the beach.â
âHave fun then. Remember to put on sunscreen. The sun is really bright lately.â
âYes, yes. Definitely. All of us are afraid that we will get tanned.â
Yu Shen looked at Ming Shu, who was chatting with the girl. He pressed his cap further down.
She got this cap not long ago. Her body heat was still on it.
Yu Shen saw her hand close to his. He glanced at Ming Shu. She was chatting happily with the girl. He carefully inched his hand forward.
He moved closer and closer. When his finger touched her hand, he turned and looked out of the window, pretending that nothing had happened.
He waited for a while. The person beside him didnât notice anything.
He placed his finger on Ming Shuâs forefinger.
Yu Shen felt like a thief. He felt nervous and his heart was palpitating.
Ming Shu felt something. She turned her hand so his fingers landed in her palm. She grabbed them tightly.
In that instant, fireworks exploded in Yu Shenâs mind.
He shrunk his body and pulled the cap down even more. He turned and looked at the scenery out of the window.
His heart beat furiously.
Ming Shu had stopped talking. The girls were having a conversation among themselves now.
No one asked about him anymore.
âDo you know how to play games?â Ming Shu asked him suddenly.
âYes... yeah,â Yu Shen answered.
âHelp me play the game.â Ming Shu passed her cellphone to him.
Yu Shen took the cellphone instinctively. He realized something important. If he played the game... he wouldnât be able to hold her hand.
He shifted his gaze between her hand and her cellphone.
He was reluctant but he still let go of her hand.
He looked at the screen. âDo you want to win or lose?â
âWin.â If I donât win, I wonât have snacks!
âOh.â
Yu Shenâs fingers were beautiful. They flew around the screen when he was playing the game.
Time passed quickly when playing games. After Yu Shen won the sixth match, he reached his destination.
Ming Shu took her cellphone back.
After most of the people on the bus got off, Ming Shu stood up.
Yu Shen was not used to this situation. He always had his bodyguards around him wherever he went, so most of the time, the area was cleared for him.
The sun shone brightly. Ming Shu took out an umbrella magically. The young man walked down in the golden light.
Ming Shu squinted her eyes as she looked at him. She couldnât help but smile.
Yu Shen walked under the umbrella. Ming Shu held his hand. âThere are many people here. Donât get lost. I canât bear the consequences.â
â... Okay.â Yu Shen held her hand back.
The two of them left the bus station. The tourists around them gasped at them occasionally.
Ming Shu flagged a taxi. The bus station was quite near the beach. They arrived in around 10 minutes.
...
At the beach...
Ming Shu sat under the shades and looked at the young man standing beside the sea. He was so thin she felt that the wind could blow him away. He was looking into the distance.
There were not many people here. It was quiet.
The young man stood for a while and suddenly started walking into the sea.
Ming Shu: â...â
She ran over and grabbed him. âWhat are you doing?â
The sunlight reflected in his eyes. His eyes seemed to be sparkling.
âI just want to take a walk in the sea,â the young man said. âWhat do you think I want to do?â
âIâm scared that I will not be able to answer to my grandfather.â Ming Shu released him. This little demon was a weird person. She would not find it strange if he wanted to commit suicide.
âOh.â Yu Shen looked at the sea. âCan you accompany me?â
âTo die? No.â
Yu Shen glared at her. âTo walk with me.â
Ming Shu asked, âCan you treat me to some ice cream?â
Yu Shen blinked. He was agitated. âI... donât have money.â
He noticed that Ming Shu was about to reject him so he said, âCan I owe you one? I will treat you after we get back.â
Ming Shu thought about it. âOkay then.â
