unedited

Ye Ya returned to the bench with the water. Xia Qing was thirsty and drank almost half a bottle of water with a grunt.

“Do you want some?” She gave the water to Ye Ya.

Ye Ya didn't respond. She turned head, looking around.

In the vast sea of people in the playground, she did not find Mister driver. Even the location he was at just now was occupied by others. Ye Ya frowned, could it be that Mister had got himself lost? Seriously?  She left only for a little while.

“Xia Qing—!”

There was a rapid cry from the crowd.

Ye Ya looked toward the sound. A tall young man with a cap, a mask, and sunglasses surrounding his face airtight trotted over and hugged Xia Qing tightly in his arms.

“Great, I thought I couldn't find you anymore. I almost called the police."

“Uncle, I, I'm so scared." She buried her head on the young man's shoulders, and couldn’t stop crying from fear.

Ye Ya sat on the small bench and looked at them with steady eyes, her gaze was a little admirous.

If her father was here, she would also lie on her father and be cute.

But……

Ye Ya lowered her eyes and looked at her toes. The little green bud swaying in the sun above her head wilted again.

It might be that the sun was too big, but her head was dizzy. She was groggy and wanted to lie on the ground to sleep right away.

“Uncle, this is Sister." At this time, Xia Qing pulled Xia Yu to Ye Ya's side, “She helped me."

Ye Ya rubbed her eyes and her body was swaying back and forth.

“Sister, this is my uncle. He is a celebrity. You can ask him for an autographed photo.”

"Hush." Xia Yu covered Xia Qing's mouth, and looked around nervously with his eyes under his sunglasses. After making sure that the group of fans were no longer around, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He squatted next to Ye Ya, “Little girl, where are your parents?”

Ye Ya's body was extremely hot, and her cheeks were abnormally flushed. She held her small school bag and said in a low voice, “I don't have any parents anymore."

Xia Yu suddenly became dumbfounded, and then asked, "Then who did you come with?"

"Mister driver." Ye Ya replied honestly, “He wants to bring me to the bad guys."

Hiss.

Xia Yu, who heard this, took a breath.

He looked at Ye Ya carefully. The little girl was good-looking and really cute, but with small bones and yellow hair. She looked malnutritious and abused.

“I, I'm about to faint!" Ye Ya's eyelids were fighting. In the end she couldn't support it, and her thin body fell lightly.

Xia Yu's heart tightened. He hurriedly caught Ye Ya.

The child's body temperature was abnormally high, and she was gasping for breath.

“Uncle, what's wrong with Sister?"

“Probably sick.” Xia Yu touched her forehead, “She has a fever."

Xia Qing looked sad, "Does she need to get injected?"

“Maybe."

Xia Qing's least favorite thing was to get an injection. She frowned at the moment, “Uncle, can we take her home?"

“What?" Xia Yu was dumbfounded.

“She will be taken away by the bad guys here." Xia Qing said, “We can take her home so she can be Qingqing's younger sister."

“...” You look more like the bad guy here.

Xia Yu sighed.

But it was true that they couldn’t leave such a young, sick child in a crowded playground, nor could they hand the child over to the security guard. What if someone saw her cuteness and took her away pretending to be her parents? What's more, she said before that there were bad guys after her. Although Xia Yu didn't know if that was the truth, he should always be vigilant.

Just as he was debating what to do, a scream suddenly came from the front, "Xia Yu—!"

The fans found him.

Frick!

Xia Yu cursed in his heart, picked up Ye Ya, held Xia Qing’s arm, and ran out.

“Okay, let's take her home to see a doctor first."

These words made Xia Qing jump up with excitement.

An adult and two children took a short path out of the playground and drove away. The silver-gray car disappeared into the traffic in the blink of an eye.

As soon as they left, the sweaty driver appeared in the position just now, answering Ye Linchuan's call with an anxious expression on his face, “Mi… Mr. Ye."

“Where is the little brat?"

Even through the phone, the driver could imagine the gloomy and cold expression of the boss.

He wiped his sweat with his handkerchief, and said in a trembling tone, "I...I went to Shijin cave to get her, but...”

“But she’s lost." Ye Linchuan sneered coldly, “You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

“Little Yeya wanted to come to the playground. I… I thought the child was pretty pitiful, so I just..." How could he know that she’d be gone just in the moment he went to make a phone call!

Ye Linchuan sneered.

The low sound shook the driver's body. He bowed his head and shrugged his shoulders on the side of the road, not daring to even breathe loudly.

“You don't have to come to work tomorrow."

The driver gritted his teeth, "Sorry, Mr. Ye."

The other side hung up.

The driver stared blankly at the blackened screen, not reconciled. He squatted on the ground and pulled his hair fiercely.

One can always find another job if one loses their job.

But losing a child…

Such a small child…

He hated his irresponsibility and stomped on the ground with his leather shoes.
