Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 87

Before Chu Feng left, he bought Duo Duo’s favorite popsicle and macarons at the dessert shop. Then, he walked leisurely until he arrived at the kindergarten.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school; all the children jumped around happily like little wild horses that had just escaped from captivity.

Chu Feng quietly looked at the warm scene before him, but something felt weird. Usually, Duo Duo was the first one to run out. So, why was she so slow on this day?

When most of the kids were gone, only then did Chu Feng see Duo Duo come out.

She wasn’t cheering and jumping around like usual. The girl hung her little head down while holding an old, tattered, teddy bear in her hand. She pouted her small mouth and walked out looking depressed. Her big, black eyes didn’t have their usual sparkle; it was as if a dark cloud was hanging over her and it would start raining at any moment.

“Daddy, let’s go home,” Duo Duo said weakly. Dejected, she dropped her head and walked away without waiting for her father.

Chu Feng’s heart sank instantly, and he felt terrible as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.

What just happened?

As far as Chu Feng could remember, Duo Duo’s personality was cheerful, playful, and mischievous —she was a happy kid.

Whenever something made her sad, she would cry for a little while, but within five minutes, she would start jumping around again.

He had never seen the little girl this sad before, as if she had lost her soul.

Chu Feng hurriedly ran after her and flashed a bright smile, asking, “Duo Duo, why are you unhappy today? Is it because Mommy isn’t here to pick you up? Is that why you’re not happy? Are you not feeling well? Did the teacher scold you, or did the other kids bully you? You can tell Daddy. I will help you.”

Duo Duo kept her head down and shook her head hard, dejected.

However, when she heard the last thing that Chu Feng had said, her grip on that old and tattered teddy bear tightened. Her little mouth pouted, and a layer of tears appeared over her jet-black eyes; she looked like she was about to cry.

“Daddy, I’m fine. Let’s just go home.”

But she still managed to hold her feelings in. She only called out to Chu Feng softly once before she concentrated on carrying her bag, walking farther and farther away.

Did somebody bully her?

Duo Duo’s facial expression was burned into his mind. He felt a sharp pain in his heart as a feeling of rage surged up inside him when he quickly realized what happened.

His daughter was his whole life; she was his hope and the reason that he lived for.

He would not allow anybody to bully her. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Duo Duo, wait for me. Wait for me!”

Suddenly, a strong-looking little boy, dressed in branded clothes from head to toe, chased after her. He shouted for Duo Duo as he ran. When she heard her schoolmate calling her, she picked up her pace and walked faster.

Chu Feng felt a wave of anger surge through him when he saw this scene unfold. He quickly lifted the little boy off the ground. “Hey, little punk. Did you bully my daughter? Did you make her unhappy?”

“Let me go. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m Duo Duo’s best friend. Why would I bully her? It was Liu Yaoyao who—” Flustered, the little boy struggled in mid-air and gave Chu Feng a surprised look. “Are you Duo Duo’s father? Uncle, I am Xiao Hu. Has Duo Duo never mentioned to you about me before?”

“....”

Chu Feng was speechless.

Immediately, Chu Feng’s face darkened. This little boy was Xiao Hu—the little rascal who always planted all those funny ideas in his daughter’s mind?

Chu Feng resisted the urge to spank this little boy. Chu Feng put him down and gave him a macaron, saying, “Xiao Hu, I’m sorry. I have wrongly accused you. Here’s some cake for you. Can you tell me why Duo Duo is so sad? This Liu Yaoyao—what did she do?”

“How can I do that? This is a secret between Duo Duo and me.” Xiao Hu was especially loyal. He turned around and snorted, then said, “How could I betray our friendship over a box of cakes?”

Chu Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. Right away, he rolled up his sleeves and made a stance that looked like he was about to start a fight.

“I-I will tell you. Uncle, please don’t hit me!”
