Love So Sweet

Chapter 35: Her Frown

Mu Zhen Yu raised his head to peek at the little girl in front of him. The girl was trying to build a large castle with Lego blocks. Her small lips pouted and the space between her brow creased.

The way she frowned would remind him of her father.

Mu Zhen Yu recalled meeting Xiao Li Xue’s father for the first time and the fierce look on his face as he frowned. Mu Zhen Yu feared Xiao Li Xue’s father from the first time he met the older man.

Seeing the look on Zhang Li Xue’s face gave him the urge to look away. Still, the girl was too adorable and he wanted to look at her face for a while longer.

After a while, the castle that Zhang Li Xue built grew taller. She continued to pick up the Legos around her to decorate the castle. For the final touch, Zhang Li Xue put on a flag on top of the castle.

Zhang Li Xue was admiring the castle she built.

Suddenly, she looked at Mu Zhen Yu with a bright smile. The dimple in her cheek deepened and her eyes turned crescent.

.....

Mu Zhen Yu was stunned. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the bright smile on her face. Heat crept to his face turning his face red. It made him grew flustered but Mu Zhen Yu could not understand why he was feeling this way.

“Brother Zhen Yu, look!” Zhang Li Xue looked at her castle proudly. “It’s massive.”

Mu Zhen Yu shifted his gaze to the Lego to avoid her gaze. “Un. Xiao Li Xue is very good at building.”

The little girl giggled happily at his praise. “Then, let me show you around the castle.” She pointed at the top floor and spoke, “This is the Princess’s room.” Then, her finger somewhere else. “This is the garden. You see... There are a lot of colorful flowers as well.”

He looked at the little garden and continued to praise her creation.

“Look here.” Zhang Li Xue pointed to another place. “This is the basketball court.” Her smile stretched up again.

Mu Zhen Yu seemed to notice that the little girl was the happiest whenever she talked about basketball.

The image of her practicing basketball with Bai Qi reappeared in his mind. His heart was feeling sour and he did not like this feeling. Mu Zhen Yu wanted to join her and Bai Qi, but each time that he wanted to ask her about it, he would remember how he had pushed Bai Qi away. He was worried that the girl would not let him join her because of this.

Moreover... he knew that the moment he tell her that he wanted to practice together, Bai Qi would be around as well.

He just wanted to play together with Xiao Li Xue.

Can they not include Bai Qi together?

As he was still thinking about this matter, Mu Zhen Yu suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him. The person’s gaze was too sharp that it made him shiver.

Mu Zhen Yu raised his head and met the man’s gaze. Instinctively, his neck shrunken. Mu Zhen Yu froze and did not dare to make a move.

“Daddy!”

Zhang Li Xue saw her daddy standing at the door and quickly ran over to his side. However, before she could crash into him, Zhang Li Xue stopped herself. She still remembered that her father was an injured person and she needed to be careful around him.

A while ago, her father had to stay in bed and could not move around. It was only recently that he could finally walk around without the use of the crutches. Zhang Li Xue did not want to see her father injured again.

He promised that he would recover well and attended the school celebration to cheer on her.

As she recalled this matter, Zhang Li Xue crossed her arms on her chest and looked at her father with a fierce look on her face. “Daddy, aren’t you supposed to be resting?”

Zhang Yu Han retracted his gaze from the boy. The moment he looked at his daughter again, the look on his face turned gentler. “I came down to get something to eat.” He stretched his hand to pat her hair. “I heard your voice and decided to look what you are up to.”

“Daddy, if you’re hungry, then, you should tell me. Daddy, go over there and sit down.” Zhang Li Xue pointed towards the living room. “Don’t stand around for a long time. Otherwise, your legs will start to hurt again. I will tell grandma to make something for you to eat.”

After he got into the accident, his little girl would always worry about him. Sometimes, it made him feel as if his little girl was treating him as a disabled person.

However, he could not deny that he was enjoying her special treatment. Zhang Yu Han was enjoying his time being spoiled by his daughter.

“Alright. I’ll listen to you.” Zhang Yu Han laughed happily. When his daughter was not looking, Zhang Yu Han shot another warning look at the little boy. Then, he turned around and walked slowly to the living room as per his daughter’s instructions.

From the first time he saw Mu Zhen Yu, Zhang Yu Han could already sense that the boy spelled trouble.

The boy liked to stick around his daughter and it was making him unhappy. If he could, Zhang Yu Han would really want to stop his daughter from meeting this boy again. However, his wife told him that it was important for Li Xue to make a lot of friends.

In the end, he could only listen to his wife’s words and let Mu Zhen Yu became his daughter’s playmate.

At the side, Mu Zhen Yu finally heaved a breath in relief once Xiao Li Xue’s father was no longer around. The elder man’s gaze was too sharp and he did not dare to look at him.

Mu Zhen Yu stayed in the playroom and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

“Brother Zhen Yu!” Zhang Li Xue reappeared at the door. “Brother Zhen Yu, my Mommy prepared some snacks. Come on. Let’s go over and eat.”

Mu Zhen Yu hesitated. Then, he stood up to follow the little girl.
