"Did you sent your short story to the contest?" Yi Chen asked her.
"Yeah. I sent it yesterday night. I didn't even get enough time to sleep" Bao Yu yawned lazily.
"Look at the dark circles around your eyes" Yi Chen cupped her cheeks, "It's sunday why don't you take rest instead of coming here"
"I promised Sister Mei that I will help her" Bao Yu eyelid became heavy and she leaned on Yi Chen's shoulder as she slept.
Yi Chen looked at her sleeping face. He was still regretting for not saving her the other day. So he vowed that he'll always protect her.
Yi Chen was the youngest in his family. So when he saw Bao Yu who was younger than him, Yi Chen had the urge to pamper her.
When Dong Mei came to look for Bao Yu, he hushed her to not to wake Bao Yu.
Everyone in the restaurant know that how much Yi Chen adored her. Some even advised him to make her as his girlfriend but Yi Chen only wants her to be his best friend whom she can rely on without any worries.
Bao Yu woke up two hours later. When she opened her eyes she was already back into Ning Xuan's room. Bao Yu looked confused as far she remembered that she was talking with Yi Chen then how come she was back to Papa Ning's house.
"You woke up? Get ready. We are going out" Papa Ning said to Bao Yu when she was already looking confused.
Bao Yu changed her dress and went to the living room. She saw the trio, Papa Ning and Papa Qing was already waiting for her.
"You came, let's go" Ning Xuan held her hands and walked towards the car. "Um. Where are we going?" Bao Yu asked the others looking confused when she sat on the car.
"You'll know once we reached there" Papa Qing smiled at her. Bao Yu pouted knowing that they will not answer her so she asked another question, "How did I came back?"
"You, how can you sleep like that? Yi Chen carried you on his back to home" Qing Ze flicked her head. "She stayed late at night writing story" Ning Xuan said.
"Story? What story?" Bai Ling turned to her.
"I just entered the short story contest. Not sure whether I'll get selected or not" Bao Yu scratched her head.
"You're too stupid. Don't worry they'll not select you" Bai Ling patted her head which annoyed Bao Yu so she yanked his hands.
"Did you just hit me?" Bai Ling looked surprised. Bao Yu startled by her own behavior, "No. I'm sorry"
Ning Xuan smacked Bai Ling's head, "You're the one who is stupid. Scarm"
"I'm know you will win for sure" Papa Ning said to her which somewhat touched her.
The car driving was lasted for an hour. Bao Yu took another short nap she didn't even realized that they already reached their destination.
"How come we don't know that she likes to sleep" Papa Qing giggled by seeing sleeping Bao Yu when he was about to wake her NingXuan stopped her, "Papa Qing don't wake her. I want to check something"
Ning Xuan turned to Bai Ling, "Carry her"
Bai Ling who was taking out the things from the car looked shocked, "Why should I".
Ning Xuan kicked his leg, "Do as I say"
Bai Ling handed the things to Qing Ze and carried Bao Yu in his arms. He took her to the place where Papa Ning already spread the sheet for them to sit.
Ning Xuan looked surprised, "How can she sleep like this? She doesn't even realize that someone was carrying her"
"I'm sure if someone kidnapped her someday when she was asleep, I'm sure she will never know" Bai Ling tapped her cheeks, "Hey, wake up"
The thing which Bao Yu hated the most was disturbing her sleep. She felt that someone was pinching her cheeks so she gave a punch and opened her eyes.
Bao Yu saw Ning Xuan and Qing Ze who was laughing hard and Bai Ling who was clutching his stomach in pain, "How can you punch me"
Bao Yu gasped and she stood hurriedly but once her eyes met a blue sea she forgot about Bai Ling and whispered "Woah! It's beach".
Yeah, they took her to the beach.
Bao Yu eyes started to tear up. This was the first time in these four months she saw the beach. She was so happy.
"See I told you, Bao Yu will be happy" Papa Qing beamed with smile. Others ignored him and started to have their lunch.
The trio and Bao Yu played lot of games but still Bao Yu kept low profile limiting her actions afraid that what if she makes them angry? What if they started to hate her.
Bao Yu sat on the sand and looked at the sea. She remembered even though her real family members hated her they still loved her. She have lot of friends who cherished her. Other than the job she doesn't have anything to worry about.
But here she has to worry about everything. Bao Yu admitted that she was afraid of getting abandoned by Papa Ning, Papa Qing and the trio. Without knowing her she started to like them and right now they're her only family in this unknown world.
Papa Ning saw Bao Yu sitting alone so called he called her over to sit with them to have some fruits. Bao Yu sat in between Papa Ning and Papa Qing.
Papa Qing looked at her and patted her head, "BaoYu, I really like you a lot. We can wait for another month if we still didn't hear anything about your family, do you want to be my daughter?"
Bao Yu taken back by his sudden suggestion. Not only Bao Yu everyone looked shocked.
Bao Yu words got stuck on her throat. She couldn't able to open her mouth to say anything.
"Say yes. So that I'll be a elder sister" Ning Xuan hugged Bao Yu. "I thought to ask Bao Yu first but you beats me" Papa Ning pouted.
Qing Ze rubbed his forehead, "You don't even have time to take care of your own son. Now you want her to be your daughter? You're so greedy"
Papa Qing head locked Qing Ze, "How dare you disrespect your father".
Qing Ze was out of his breath so he started to struggle to get out his hold. Bai Ling saw that and pulled Papa Qing's hand from Qing Ze, "You're trying to kill your own son. So we really should not let Bao Yu to be your daughter"
"Anyhow, I am the one who is going to raise her. So Bao Yu you don't have to worry, you can be both of our daughter" Papa Ning smiled at her.
Bao Yu eyes teared up as she nodded her head showing that she was agreed to Papa Qing's daughter.
Papa Qing smiled and hug both Bao Yu and Qing Ze, "Now I have two daughters and two sons"
