The gift

In a certain general hospital located in the capital, a strange person reclined in a chair. He looked like a teenager, with slender limbs and a very beautiful skeletal frame. Even on such a cold day, he still wore a hat and mask. Moreover, the hat was very peculiar. It was clearly a winter style, but it was fashioned into a wide-brimmed hat1.

In addition, his entire body was tightly wrapped, yet he looked as though he were sunbathing.

People passing by couldn’t help but look back. This person was really strange, sunbathing yet wrapped up so tightly. He couldn’t be a bad person, right?

Yu Cai was completely indifferent to the gazes of the people around him. He reclined lazily under the sunlight while listening to the conversation of the mother and daughter next to him.

Little girl: “No, no, I want to read Kaka, I want Kaka…”

Mother: “Can we read something else? The person who drew this manhua is a bad person.”

“Why?” The little girl didn’t understand.

Mother: “He’s not good to his mom and dad, so he must be a bad person.”

Hearing this, the youth couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The mother was a little dissatisfied at being interrupted. She looked back to see that it was someone so completely covered up not an inch of his skin could be seen2, and she was even more unhappy.

But the little girl looked at the youth with curiosity and admiration in her eyes.

She covered her mouth, exclaiming, “Wow–! It’s a masked hero.”

The youth laughed out loud. He glanced at the manhua in the mother’s hand and explained lazily, “The manhua-drawing big brother isn’t a bad person.”

Although he detested Liu Kaiyan, Tiantian must be feeling very troubled now. In consideration of Tiantian’s face, he didn’t mind saying a few words for Liu Kaiyan.

The mother scolded him as a maniac and tugged the little girl to leave, but the little girl refused. Mom and Dad both said that the big brother who drew Kaka was a bad person, but this masked hero said that the big brother was a good person. She wanted to talk to this big brother.

Seeing that her daughter wouldn’t budge, she said exasperatedly, “I won’t care about you anymore.”

As she said that, she stepped to the side, but she was clearly just trying to frighten the girl–her eyes remained on her daughter’s body.

Yu Cai lay back in the chair, talking to the little girl.

The little girl said, “Momsaid that Big Brother Kaka doesn’t want his mom and dad, and he is a bad person. Is that true?”

The youth revealed a smile in his crow-black eyes. He asked, “If your mom and dad didn’t love you at all, would you love them?”

The little girl thought about it and answered decisively, “Wouldn’t love.”

In a child’s mind, it was an extremely simple equation: those who loved her, were those who she loved.

When the mother heard this, she scoffed and retorted, “How can there be parents in this world who don’t love their child?”

Young man: “Why not? Liu Kaiyan’s parents don’t love him, they treat him like…”

He paused, his tone growing a bit strange. “…a marionette, a tool for showing off.”

The mother snorted, confirming once again that the youth was insane, and she took the girl away regardless of her protests.

The youth shrugged and picked up the magazine to read it.

Finally, his gaze fell on the part where Liu Kaiyan ran away from home for Su Tian.

He stared for a moment, then picked up his phone and called Xu Ling.

“Hey, isn’t your TV station planning on doing a special broadcast on education and 《Protection of Minors》? Let me recommend a feature for you. I guarantee you’ll get record-breaking ratings.”

When Ji Shaoheng walked in, he saw the little brat talking on the phone with someone. He took a step forward and was swiftly avoided by the younger man.

He asked angrily, “Why are you wearing this hat, to scare people?”

On the way back, he kept wondering what the gift in Su Tian’s box was. Resisting the desire to open it the entire trip, he threw the box to this little brat, but it turned out to be a hat.

And it was a warm sun hat.

It was a magical style.

Ever since he received Su Tian’s hat, the little brat had gone crazy. He wore the hat every day and ran out to bask in the sun, treasuring it to the point no one else could touch it.

Yu Cai hung up the phone and slid back into his chair. He said smugly, “I want to sit in the sunlight.”

Ji Shoheng: “…”

Why hadn’t he ever been fond of sunbathing in the past ten years?

Yu Cai didn’t care what he thought. He asked, “Can your judicial channel open up a slot for a program?”

Ji Shaoheng raised a brow. “What for?”

Yu Cai threw over the magazine.

Ji Shaoheng skimmed through it and sneered. “This writer’s just begging for a lawsuit, spreading rumors like this.”

Ji Shaoheng naturally knew all the ins and outs of Liu Kaiyan’s matters.

Yu Cai: “Let the judicial channel run a program reporting on the abnormal behavior of some parents. It’d be good to teach in passing the legal repercussions for spreading rumors.”

Ji Shaoheng: “Sure, I’ll go back and ask.”

Yu Cai adjusted his hat in satisfaction and continued to lie down in the chair to bask under the sun.

He thought happily, I wonder if Tiantian will like the gift I prepared.

You Pinyan and Xi Yun were furious as soon as they saw the article.

Xi Yun’s face wrinkled in anger. He said, “Wait until we make money. I’m going to make this publishing house go bankrupt!”

Since the last time Su Tian joked about “finding an opportunity to let the Tang family go bankrupt,” Xi Yun had learned the all-purpose use of “bankruptcy.”

You Pinyan smacked the table. “Why make it so troublesome, I’ll call my grandpa and bankrupt this publishing house right now!”

Xi Yun tugged her. “No, I want to do it myself.”

You Pinyan considered it. It did indeed seem more fulfilling to bankrupt the other party yourself.

You Pinyan asked, “Tiantian, when are we going to be interviewed?”

Su Tian was on the side, pondering things with her hand resting on her cheek. She was briefly stunned before answering, “Liu Kaiyan and I already asked for leave this morning. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

You Pinyan and Xi Yun cheered. Humph, see how they slap that publishing house’s face.

After Su Tian finished speaking, she fell back into contemplation.

Just now, she received the gift from Ji Shaoheng, and its contents surprised her.

It was a little clownfish ornament made of crystal.

The accessory was very delicate and beautiful, and the silly and cute look on the clownfish’s face even made it particularly expressive.

Su Tian fell in love with it at first sight.

Su Tian wasn’t surprised by the exquisite quality. After all, he was the adopted son of the police chief, and he must have many things in his possession. But why was it coincidentally a clownfish?

Although the number of people who knew that Su Tian liked clownfish was not small, it definitely wasn’t a lot.

Then how did the little gege she’d never met before know that she liked clownfish?

Could it be that He Qingwan told Ji Shaoheng, and Ji Shaoheng told the little gege?

It just so happened that she would be going to the capital this time. She would definitely go to the hospital with He Qingwan to meet this mysterious little gege.

Once they meet, perhaps the question would be answered.

So the next day, the customers who came in the morning to buy desserts from Sweet Summer found that the dessert shop was–once again!–closed.

Everyone: “…”

Even if business was good, the boss closed up shop every two-three days. Wasn’t this too willful!

As soon as Su Tian and the gang arrived in the capital, and before they could head to the magazine’s office, they received a call from Ji Shaoheng.

When Ji Shaoheng heard that Su Tian and the others had just arrived in the capital, he immediately said, “What a coincidence, I was about to head to Luocheng to pick you up. The judicial channel wants to interview Liu Kaiyan and Su Tian to do a program. Are you free now?”
