Chapter 13: Story 13 (1/2)

Translator: Du Yiran

Bo Yu limps from the door to the bedroom, and he doesn’t find little Watermelon, and the house is silent without sounds at all. He immediately feels anxious.

“Little Watermelon? Bo Yanting? Bo Yanting?”

Bo Yu is so anxious that he sweats all over.

For a while, the voice of little Watermelon comes out from Bo Yu’s bedroom. He cries himself hoarse, but still whimpers.

At that moment, Bo Yu’s heart suddenly tightens up, and he opens the bedroom door, follows the voice to the wardrobe and opens the wardrobe door.

Little Watermelon crouches in the wardrobe with Dandan and cries out of breath, trembling all over. A lock of hair on the forehead trembles as he trembles, looking pitiful and lovely.

Bo Yu feels pitiful and funny, habitually picks up Dandan, ignores its sobbing, puts it on the ground, and then picks up little Watermelon.

Little Watermelon hugs Bo Yu’s head hard. “Papa, where did you go? Where did you go?”

Because little Watermelon cries fiercely for a long time, he can’t say a complete sentence now.

Bo Yu kisses him on the face, and is muddled with snot and tears. He tries to endure that, but in vain. He goes to the bathroom and wipes little Watermelon’s face with a wet handkerchief.

“When did you wake up?”

Little Watermelon is still burping, but feels better when he sees Bo Yu. “A long time ago. I can’t find you, Papa.”

Bo Yu answers, “I just went out for running and got lost. I’m sorry, little Watermelon.”

Little Watermelon feels grieved, but he still considerately wipes the sweat on Bo Yu’s forehead with the hand. “Papa, please don’t go running.”

Bo Yu, who is good at telling lies, having no guilty conscience in the face of his tender son, nods and says, “I won’t go running next time.”

He should be a fool if he will fall into the trap again!

Suddenly Dandan runs from the side, jumps up, grips Bo Yu’s shirt hem with its teeth, as if feeling himself highly flattered when death is at hand.

Bo Yu puts down little Watermelon, turns around and grabs Dandan, and kicks it out of the bathroom.

Little Watermelon sits on the dressing table in front of the mirror and reaches out to ask for hug. He has no sense of security when he doesn’t hold Bo Yu’s head.

Bo Yu is okay to hug him. He doesn’t return overnight; otherwise little Watermelon won’t be like that.

But anyway, who prepared the lemonade that he drinks by accident?

Bo Yu lowers the eyes and depresses his inquiry and thinking. That shouldn’t be so simple.

But he can’t find the truth at all depending on his own identity and social status. So, Bo Yu just woolgathers for a moment and leaves it behind his head.

Qi Yan becomes angry from embarrassment, “I was frustrated. Someone throws a monkey wrench in my plan. Give me another chance. I’ll succeed this time.”

The man on the line sneers, “You really think that Song Shilin is your servant? He isn’t so silly as to give you a second chance to set about your plan.”

Qi Yan contradicts him, “He doesn’t know it is I who do that. There will always be opportunities.”

The man is speechless because of Qi Yan’s stupidity. “Take it slow, don’t let him get hold of the evidence. That’s all.”

After saying that, the man hangs up.

Qi Yan throws the mobile on the ground and hums.

Qi Yan always follows the man’s advice because the man can help to disarm obstacles and let Qi Yan easily stay with Song Shilin.

That’s ridiculous.

However, Bo Yu drinks the lemonade which is prepared for Song Shilin last night. Qi Yan guesses maliciously that Bo Yu has sex with others.

He feels it is so disgusting whenever he thinks of it.

If he catches Bo Yu’s shortcomings, he will make trouble to Bo Yu who ruins his chances.

Qi Yan’s eyes are indifferent.

Song Shilin who sleeps with Bo Yu for one night doesn’t know at all that Qi Yan is the conspirator who makes the trouble. After Bo Yu leaves, he returns to the bathroom and continues to bathe.

The hair is wet without drying off. Song Shilin holds a goblet and takes a sip of the red wine. His indifferent and deep eyes are angry.

He isn’t stupid.

Bo Yu looks usual except being drunk at the door of the restroom last night. How is it possible for him to eat aphrodisiac because of the trap when Song Shilin doesn’t watch him for a few minutes?

Song Shilin remembers the waiter who appears in the corridor with lemonade for no reason and the waiter’s panic after Bo Yu drinks the lemonade, and he vaguely seems to be close to the truth.

Song Shilin frowns and thinks that it’s not suitable to explore flagrantly that kind of thing.

It happens in the century imperial city, and it’s Bo Yu who eats aphrodisiac because of other’s trap. If that thing is known by the public, it will cause damage to the hotel and Bo Yu’s reputation.

Song Shilin bends the fingers, knocks on the table and makes a thumping sound with an inscrutable expression on the face.

However, he can’t swallow insult and humiliation silently. The investigation is necessary. But it must be carried out in secret instead of being done flagrantly.

In view of the serious psychological trauma suffered by little Watermelon in the early morning, Bo Yu takes a day off and happily stays at home with him to watch cartoons like Superman and Pleasant Sheep.

Watching the scene of the wolf grabbing the sheep and little monsters for the whole day, Bo Yu is dizzy and is in no mood to take care of Dandan who cries and screams.
