Happy sunflower

He already knew who Chen Juan was, even before they met. He knew she was linked to his mother, only she can help him to get his mother. He was her one and only hope. And he doesn't care if he falls for her in this journey to find his mother, he just wants to meet his mother for one last time before dying if he has to. But Chen Juan….

How can he let her die because of him, she already has a short life like other humans and he didn't dare to shorten her life more. She still needs to achieve a lot, her career, her life partner, and a beautiful life and he was not part of it.

Which is why he tried to be humble and boring but instead making her bored, she gets more hooked to him. He didn't want to anger her, not before he found his mother nor did he try to avoid her. He was stuck in between, where he can't do anything except never losing control over himself.

He knows humans can easily move on with their emotions. And if one day he disappears for falling for her, it must be only him not both or only her.

He can't let that happen to her, she helped him even if they were not lovers, they were more than a friend in a way.

And today it was going to be more than before, he sat down on a chair, placing his arm on his resting eyes.

He recalled what happened there, she was crying. Was she disgusted by his move? He felt something hollow inside his heart, thinking that. He was not angry or upset but he felt void.

Lucy was perplexed seeing him like that. Was he really that annoyed at her? She just wanted to give him a surprise. Zheng Yuhan was like an older brother to her.

He was a prince but he never had arrogance and pride like elite-class people.

Lucy was an illegitimate child of an elite class Duke of Ice clan and a lower class woman of Light Clan.

She was a fruit of love between her parents but fruit a horrible crime done by her father to her mother. She was hybrid and got both of her parent's power but not their love.

After her birth, the Ice Clan elders decided to accept the child but not a lower class woman from Light Clan. They ordered her to execute her mother even if she was innocent. But she was still executed in front of everyone.

In a world where rich and power rules the power and helpless one, she got to meet Zheng Yuhan.

He showered her with love and care unlike her father or family who only treated her like air or asked her to be good at everything.

He made her happy, took care of her as his sister and when he left their world. She was the most upset, she even clinged on to one of his legs so he didn't leave her there. But at last he left and she was left out alone in that harsh world.

Today, she finally got the opportunity to visit him but he was not at all happy seeing her. Did he also hate her like other people?

She started sobbing unknowingly,"Sorry.." she started to weep, as she rubbed her tears with her dress sleeves.

Zheng Yuhan looked up hearing her sobs. He sighed, she was still a child after all. He really went over the top by shouting at her, she just missed him.

Zheng Yuhan knew except him she was not close to anyone. And he knows how she was treated by others and she acted like a high and spoiled one but she was just scared. Scared to trust people around her, what if they disgusted her for being hybrid but once she got close to one she was a cute child.

He got up from his place, and walked to his chair and kneeled down on the floor, and stroked her hairs gently.

"It's not your fault. I am just worried people in Naturalis are worried about you." He said in a loving and caring tone.

"Really?" She looked up sobbing a bit.

He chuckled softly seeing how easy she was, he nodded.

Her sad face turned bright like a happy sunflower, as she threw her arms around him,"Yay, Ducas is best." She cried out in joy. He chuckled, patting her back. Ducas was the real name of Zheng Yuhan. To keep his identity secret, he chose the name Zheng Yuhan for himself in the human world. Except the people from Naturalis no one knew his real name.

But if they come to meet him in this world, they always call him Zheng Yuhan or Lord.

He was the prince no matter where he was, calling a prince by his name was the most disrespectful they could do but Lucy was different. She always called him by his name and he didn't mind it.

She was a really cute child, but he was afraid she couldn't survive the world being innocent. She needs to sacrifice her innocence to step to the top.

Naturalis was divided into twenty-eight clans. Every clan mastered their own elemental powers but they also had sub clans. Sub clans mostly had hybrids, who can cultivate more than one elemental powers but they also had their weakness.

For Naturalis of pure blood, they have a long life or are immortal but hybrids can be killed. Hybrid will start to age once they grow older but pure ones stop aging after they have crossed the twenty-five years of their life.

What if hybrids have more powers than pure blood but they still have their own disadvantages. No matter who we are, an immortal or a mere human all have their own disadvantages and advantages.
