【Before Battles】
Floral aroma had filled the entire room. Wisps of scented smoke in the air added tranquility to the atmosphere. Zhurong was concentrating on the affairs of Nanman, but it was soon interrupted by a group of kids.
- Kid A: Everybody hide. Don’t get caught!
- Kid B: Hey, you stay under the desk. I’ll hide inside the wardrobe.
- Kid C: Then I go under the bed——Whoa!
The kid was grabbed off the ground. Startled, he kept on crying. During the struggle, Zhurong was kicked, which made her even angrier at the moment. A fire beast was summoned to glare at the other kids in the room.
- Zhurong: All of you stop!
【After Battles】
Seeing the ferocious Zhurong, the kids froze and burst into tears. Then a man came in; like a saviour, all the kids were running to his back.
- Meng Huo: Didn’t I tell you not to play in this room?
- Kids: So-sorry…
- Meng Huo: Dear, they didn’t mean it. Forgive them.
As Zhurong took a glance at the kids, they had a great fear and huddled behind Meng Huo immediately, which made him unable to contain the laughter.
- Zhurong: “I haven’t seen him laugh like that ever since he became the chief. It reminds me of the old days…”
As she let go of the kid, they all left in a hurry, leaving the two alone.
- Zhurong: Who are those kids?
- Meng Huo: The captains’. They wanted me to play hide and seek with them.
- Zhurong: You like kids?
- Meng Huo: Em...yes I do. They can be noisy sometimes, but they'll be close to you as long as you treat them well. Simple as that.
- Zhurong: So...Let’s make a baby.
- Meng Huo: Huh? Don’t you hate kids?
- Zhurong: They’re naughty and weak. I don’t have a liking to be honest.
- Meng Huo: ...Then why?
Receiving the gaze of Meng Huo, Zhurong did not understand why she was shy to look him in the eyes directly. Therefore she turned away to cover this strange feeling.
- Zhurong: Because...because this is what I can do for you.
- Meng Huo: What——Emm!
Before finishing the words, Meng Huo’s lips were already sealed by Zhurong’s. The lust over his head kept him silent and enjoyed the present.
