However, Su Ye was not going to tell him that.

He smiled and said calmly, “You'll send her to the police station to look for her parents once we are done eating.”

“We'll be going to the venue tonight.”

Ye Li swallowed his saliva. He looked at the dishes that were being served by their coach and said absentmindedly, “Do I have to go?”

He murmured, “I doubt I have the time for it.”

“Brother Su, there's no need for you to practice with us, but I'm still a little worried myself. I'm planning to practice our strategy for the whole day.”

He was very confident in Su Ye's skills. The man had played a few practice matches with them. He had successfully led their team to victory, as he already had synergy with the team.

Xiao Fei held his baby face with one hand and said, “Brother Su, why don't you bring the little girl to the police station instead?”

“The rest of us have to practice.”

They could not afford to lose the next match.

Their team used to win multiple matches in a row, yet they now had to treat a loser's bracket's match very seriously.

Su Ye tapped his finger. He noticed how nervous the team was. He chuckled and said indifferently, “Fine.”

The coach yawned and glanced at the absentminded Su Ye. He frowned slightly as he could not help but feel that the man was behaving strangely.

However, he could not tell exactly what was wrong.

After all, Su Ye rarely showed his emotions. He would always wear a smile, making it difficult to read his mind.

“Little girl, what's your name?” the coach settled his thoughts and looked at Ye Sang.

Su Ye too s.h.i.+fted his attention to the little kid.

She blinked rapidly as if she was still in a blur.

Her head was lowered. Some of her hair was standing up. She looked like a living mascot.

Ye Li laughed, “Say, should we bring her to the match as our mascot?”

The girl was too adorable.

The little girl swung her short legs. She retaliated after collecting her thoughts, “I'm not a mascot.”

Ye Li said with a friendly smile, “What are you then?”

Ye Sang swung her hair around and said, “I…I'm a Six-Eared Monkey.”

The others: “…”

What the h.e.l.l is that?

“Where are your parents?” the coach interrupted.

The little girl was only around the age of four and five. How were her parents so careless? Why would they let their kid follow a stranger?

The kid covered her mouth and kept quiet.

Ye Li rubbed her neck. He enjoyed teasing her, “Little kid, what's your father's name?”

“Just say his name, it's not like we know who your parents are,” he said with a smile.

Ye Sang shook her head. She looked up and murmured, “Everyone in the capital knows who my fathers are…”

Ye Li, “…”

Where did such a proud little kid come from?

Even professional gamers like them would not dare to say everyone in the capital would know who they were, yet the little kid was reluctant to admit who her father was.

“Is that so?” Ye Li said mockingly. “Who is your father then? Don't tell me it's Huo Yao? Mm?”

“Or maybe it's Mu Chen whose name has been searched a lot recently?”

Ye Li was merely teasing the little girl.

The little girl puffed her cheeks and nodded. Her beautiful eyes flickered with admiration, “Mister, you're very smart.”

His guesses were on point.

Ye Li awkwardly s.h.i.+fted his gaze away. He was utterly speechless.

This kid was really something else to say such a thing.

Su Ye closed his eyes as the two were talking. He did not treat Ye Sang's words seriously.

How could he possibly treat a kid's words seriously?

There's no way Huo Yao and Mu Chen would have a child.

Is she joking with them?

The little girl lowered her head and patted her bloated tummy after she finished her breakfast. She looked at her father who was seated with his legs crossed and was struggling to blend in with the others.

“I'm full.”

Su Ye put his phone down lazily. He rose to his feet and looked at the girl, “You're full?”

“Time to go then.”

The man put his hand into his pocket and placed the girl's hat on her head to push her hair down.

Seriously…

He had been long annoyed by her standing hair.

Ye Sang touched her head. Something felt weird to her after the hair was pressed down by the hat.

“My hair is gone,” she pouted.

Su Ye carried her in his arms and chuckled. He mimicked her tone and said, “Yeah, it's gone.”

He reached his hand out and rubbed the girl's soft tummy. He looked down and said, “Time to go.”

“We are going out.”

The little girl dragged her tone when she heard they were going out, “Are you sending me away?”

Su Ye was smarter this time. He knew it was not easy to fool the kid, so he changed his wording, “We are going for a walk.”

He did not mention where they were going.

It was enough to convince the kid.

As he thought, Ye Sang was overjoyed. She put her head on Su Ye's shoulder and hummed pleasantly. Her soft voice was oddly soothing.

She was soft like a ball of dough.

Su Ye had to be extremely cautious while carrying her.

He hailed a ride.

The driver was startled when he saw the man carrying a kid. He eventually withdrew his gaze.

The two were both good-looking. The little girl was wearing a cute straw hat. Her light blue dress was washed clean. She looked as elegant as a little fairy when she smiled.

The man carrying her was wearing a peaked cap. He had a delicate, pale chin, and slightly pursed up lips. The driver could tell he was a handsome man just by looking at the lower part of his face.

The driver sighed and exclaimed, “A single father and his kid?”

Su Ye, “…”

The driver was a kind man. He wondered if the man was living a tough life. Otherwise, why did he have to cover his face?

He said, “Should I cut the fare in half? The police station isn't that far from here either.”

Su Ye: “That won't be necessary.”

He did not even have a girlfriend.

Why would he have a kid of her age?

The kid was feeling a little sleepy, but she immediately woke up at the mention of the police station.

Her hair stood up reactively. The little hat failed to keep it down.

Ye Sang was a little sad.

She lowered her head and stared at the man. She was not going to give up, “How…how could you lie to a kid?”

He said he was not going to send her away.

How could he lie to her?

Su Ye chuckled, “Why would you believe an adult's words?”

He said, “All adults are liars.”

He rubbed her head and stared at the little kid who seemed to be devastated, “Be a good kid, you have plenty to learn still. I'm just teaching you that you should be weary of people with evil intentions.”

The five year old kid, “…”

Just like that…

Ye Sang, who snuck out of her home for the first time, was taught a lesson by her father.
