This kid surely picked the right thing to rip.
She ripped the one he spent countless days and nights writing.
Mu Chen had already looked beyond death; he didnât care that he was alive, and he didnât care if he was dead.
But there just happened to be Ye Sang, the variable.
Mu Chen glared at the little thing who looked down at the floor and grinded his teeth.
He wanted to beat her up but he couldnât bear to do it.
This contradicting feeling made Mu Chenâs unhappiness reach its peak.
Mu Chen closed his eyes and tapped his table with his long slim and cold fingers. He looked at her for a few seconds and his speechlessness was torture.
Even adults wouldnât be able to stand the cramp and uneasy atmosphere like this, let alone a child.
But he didnât know that Ye Sang was a natural optimist. He ignored her and she started to entertain herself.
She sat on the ground and swayed her legs while flipping through the manga porn Duan Jinyan gave her before he left.
Butââ
She couldnât even touch it.
Mu Chen couldnât stand it anymore and glared at the little thing who laid on her stomach on the floor and spoke impatiently, âStand up.â
âOkay...â Because he sounded so mad, the little thing climbed up unwillingly and hid the book behind her back.
As an adult, it obviously wasnât the time for Mu Chen to be curious about what she was holding.
The man leaned back and pointed at a table of files and smiled, âYou came prepared, didnât you?â
Otherwise, why would she only pick this one without touching the other ones?
Ye Sang frowned her bun face and pouted in silence.
The little thing didnât speak and Mu Chen wasnât in a hurry to ask her again.
He waved at her, telling her to come over.
Ye Sangâs round eyes turned slightly and slowly moved over after hesitation.
âUncle...â She opened her mouth and remembered all the heavy and profound duties and principles her grandpas taught her.
She wanted to use these to brainwash Mu Chen, but the man looked down and glared at her. After realizing what she wanted to do, he cut her off immediately.
âShut it.
I donât want to listen.â
Mu Chen turned to her, âHow did you think of ripping this?â
No normal children would do that.
The little thing pouted and straightened her back under his suspicious eyes, âUncle.â
She moved over to him and her eyes turned into crescents, âCan be we humans together?â
The strand of hair on the little girlâs head shot up as she tilted her innocent face up.
Mu Chen pressed her hair down expressionlessly.
Hmm...
It was just that her words didnât sound nice.
âWho wants to be a human with you?â He humphed coldly and scorned, âYou intentionally ruined my project. You know something about it, donât you?â
If a normal child did something that this, it would be shocking.
But Ye Sang was hard to say.
Her origin was unknown and they didnât know if her grandpas were real or not. But because of how she played pipa not long ago, Mu Chen had no choice but to believe her.
He pointed at the torn paper and smiled, âYou can understand this, donât you?â
The little girl pursed her lips together and didnât speak.
She stole a glance at him and said, âIf I tell you, you canât curse at me...â
Mu Chen: â....â Did he look like the type of curse at a child for no reason? ??
The man gloomily snorted and agreed at last.
The little thing received his promise and had more courage. She straightened her back slightly and the strand of hair stood up on her head as she was pleased.
âSangsang knows.â She looked at him with pretty eyes and sounded soft, âI know what the real antidote is.â
According to what her grandpas said, the difficult illness the research institute had trouble dealing with were like toys to them.
Mu Chen: â...â
This kid is definitely something.
He breathed deeply and decided to stop discussing this with her to prevent him from feeling like he was being looked down on.
The man pinched her meaty face and smiled, âSo you came and destroyed my project? Hmm?â
Mu Chenâs lips curved upwards and scorned, âHow did I not know that our Sangsang had the beautiful characteristic of being passionate and loving to the world?â
Any normal person would know that he was mocking her.
But the little thing didnât know.
She even nodded slowly and replied, âMy grandpa said Sangsang is a good child.â
Mu Chen: â...â
He didnât know how to argue back with a childâs innocent words.
And he had no reason to argue back.
Ye Sang secretly glanced at him and saw that her villain daddy fell silent. She pouted and decided to tell the truth after pondering for a while.
She moved over slowly, âWell...
I didnât do it for the world.â
She was only a five-year-old baby after all.
She wasnât old enough to put the world in her heart.
Mu Chen raised his tone, âMhm?â
He smiled angrily, âThen why did you rip my paper?â
The little thing was confused by her villain daddyâs way of thinking and shook her head as she replied with uncertainty, âS-Shouldnât I make chaos with you together?â
Mu Chen smiled, âYou can also consider joining the villain party.â
He sounded like the head of a pyramid scheme sending an evil invitation.
The little thing whimpered and climbed on him. Seeing that Mu Chen didnât push her off, she boldly leaned over and whispered, âSangsang just doesnât want anything to happen to you...â
Her heart was tiny.
She couldnât put the world in her heart.
Mu Chen was stroking on her neck and paused.
âWhat do you mean?â His expressions froze but he asked indifferently and she wasnât able to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Ye Sang swayed her head and her eyes turned into crescents, âCan you stop doing bad things?â
Mu Chen stared at her darkly in silence.
The little thing didnât sense his malice and probingly leaned in. She dragged her voice on and looked at him with the clearest and clean eyes he had seen in his life, âLife isnât what you wished for, but Sangsang is.â
Ye Sang flew into his arms and she was soft like a little sun. Her clear yet innocent words made Mu Chenâs heart melt, âAnd I will hug you if the moon wonât hug you.â
â...Can you stop doing bad things, please?â After a while, the little girl mumbled. She looked up at the frozen Mu Chen boldly kissed him, âDaddy.â
Mu Chenâs heart trembled at her calling him âdaddyâ and feeling disbelief at the same time...
