Fu Yubo should know the truth about what happened to the Mountain and Sea Gang but he didnât say anything.
Yi Jiaojiao was still here. Ming Shu didnât know what Fu Yubo wanted to do.
Ming Shu stood among the crowd and finally found Yi Jiaojiao talking to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed like he respected Yi Jiaojiao very much. He must be someone Yi Jiaojiao wanted to draw over to her side.
âIs Yi Jiaojiao from your school?â Zhuang Mengmeng placed her hands on her cheeks as she observed Yi Jiaojiao.
âYes.â
âShe kept coming to the administration recently. Honestly, I donât like her,â Zhuang Mengmeng said, âbut Fu Yubo seemed to think highly of her.â
Zhuang Mengmeng sighed.
If Yi Jiaojiao was a bright and colorful rose, she was... She couldnât be compared to her.
If her supernatural power was not so special, Fu Yubo would not even look at her.
âWhat is she doing at the administration?â
âNothing much. She just comes really often. Occasionally, she will go on missions and help them catch criminal mutants.â Zhuang Mengmeng paused. âHer relationship with everyone in the administration is not bad.â
Was Yi Jiaojiao trying to get close to the male protagonist?
Did he have other motives?
Fu Yubo knew that Yi Jiaojiao was not the person who destroyed the Mountain and Sea Gang, but he still let her stay. The male protagonist was not someone who would lose his mind over beauty so...
He must have other motives.
The battle between the main leads was hard to understand.
Everything can be solved with snacks... no, with good reasoning.
If one time doesnât work, you can reason with him again!
Wei Yaxuan stood nearby and looked at Ming Shu with envy.
âYou like him?â
A voice sounded behind her. Wei Yaxuan looked back instinctively.
A beautiful lady stood behind her elegantly. She was wearing a long black dress and had on a bright red lipstick. It was hard to ignore her presence.
âWho are you?â
Wei Yaxuan didnât recognize this person.
âYou like him?â Yi Jiaojiao didnât reply to Wei Yaxuan. Instead, she looked at the direction where Wei Yaxuan was looking just now.
âWhy is that any of your business?â Wei Yaxuan turned around and tried to ignore this weird lady.
âI can help you.â
Wei Yaxuan looked at her curiously. âWhy do you want to help me?â
Yi Jiaojiao smiled. âBecause we have a common enemy.â
Wei Yaxuan looked at Ming Shu, who was being taken care of by Yu Shen. She turned and stared at Yi Jiaojiao again.
âWhy should I believe you?â
âUp to you. If you have made your decision, you can look for me.â Yi Jiaojiao passed a name card to Wei Yaxuan. She left.
Wei Yaxuan looked down at the name card. There was only a telephone number on it.
She wanted to throw it away. However, just as her hand hovered over the rubbish bin, she retracted it.
...
Nothing happened at the dinner party. No one did anything out of bounds. Yu Shen was protected by his bodyguards so no one came to look for him for trouble.
Yi Jiaojiao should have seen Ming Shu, but she didnât look for her. She didnât even glance in Ming Shuâs direction. After the dinner party, she disappeared.
Ming Shu didnât have a chance to date her.
Fu Yubo was the host of the event so he had many matters to attend to. Ming Shu thoughtfully sent her chef back.
She managed to get some supper.
Then, she went back to the villa with Yu Shen.
Wei Yaxuan followed them to their villa. After they went inside, she came out of the shadows.
She stood outside for a while before calling Mother Yu.
...
The next day was a free and easy day. Ming Shu didnât want to move, she just wanted to date her snacks the whole day.
However, Yu Shen pulled her up saying he wanted to go to the beach.
âYou promised me that you will take me out. We are here already. Why havenât you taken me out?â
âBrother Yu Shen, we can be simpler. You donât have to make things so complicated...â
âAre you going?â
â...â No!
You have seen the beach before. All seas looked the same. Whatâs so nice about them?
You just want to separate me from my snacks!
Evil!
Iâm not going!
That was what Ming Shu said but in the end, she still went to the beach.
The island was well-built. There was a road built around the island which had a great seaside view.
The sea breeze messed up Ming Shuâs hair. She took out a hairband and tied her hair up.
âWhy do you like the sea?â
Yu Shen raised his hand and tidied her hair. He smiled gently. âMy body was weak from the start so I didnât have the chance to get out of my house before I was ten years old.â
Yu Shen held Ming Shuâs hand and walked forward. âMy parents are busy. They have no free time. One day, I saw the sea on television and wanted to visit it. I asked my parents to bring me there. I didnât expect them to agree.
âHowever...â Yu Shen paused. âThey never took me there. They were lying. They always do that.â
âAs I grew older, I was given the chance to go out occasionally. But, they never let me go to places with many people.
âI never mentioned that I wanted to go to the sea again. I donât want to go with bodyguards all around me. I felt like a pet locked up in a cage.
âThey planned everything for me. I have no freedom. Everything I do is supervised by other people. I have no privacy.â
Yu Shen smiled at Ming Shu after he finished speaking. It was a sad smile. The sea reflected in his eyes.
He said softly, âI like the sea because I always wanted to come, but didnât have the chance to. The sea... represents freedom, right?â
Ming Shu raised her head and kissed him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sea breeze blew past them. Ming Shuâs dress billowed in the wind. The young man bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
âIâll hand over the rest of my freedom to you.â
Ming Shu stepped back and bowed elegantly.
âItâs my honor.â
The wind blew. It carried her words with it.
This was their declaration as well as their promise.
Ming Shu pulled his hand. âYour body is not bad. Itâs not as weak as what they said. I will take you out more often next time.â
âOkay.â
âYoung Master, a call from Lady.â
The bodyguard behind them caught up with them and handed Yu Shen a cellphone.
Yu Shen glanced at Ming Shu before answering the call. âMother?â
Yu Shen walked to the side. His voice was not loud so Ming Shu didnât know what he was saying. He seemed to be agreeing to something.
Ming Shu knew that he was not listening to what his mother was saying.
She looked at her surroundings. Suddenly, she saw someone standing in the distance.
She narrowed her eyes.
What was Yi Jiaojiao doing here? Looking at the scenery?
Yi Jiaojiao seemed to realize that Ming Shu noticed her. She immediately hid in the bush beside her.
Ming Shu didnât move. She took out a bag of snacks.
Do you think that Iâm stupid!
If I left my little demon here all alone, something might happen to him!
Iâm not going to chase her!
