"Stealing things?"
Did he have anything to steal?
On the contrary, they should be worried about whether he would steal their things, as he had been coveting Ye Ziyu, longing for her to become his mother.
Xiao Ran stretched his neck until it hurt, but he didn't see Xingxing prepare to reply to him with even half a word. He slumped back into his seat and looked at the top of the tent.
"If you don't want to reply, fine. I'm going to sleep," Xiao Ran said, closing his eyes immediately.
He had been working hard and diligently on his tasks during the day, which made him so tired that every part of his body ached.
A few minutes later, Xingxing heard Xiao Ran snoring.
He was sleeping so soundly!
Xingxing smiled helplessly, reached out, and pulled the quilt over Xiao Ran.
...
Ye Residence.
"Can Xiao Ran really go?" Di Mingjue followed behind Ye Ziyu. The thought of Xiao Ran going alone to accompany Xingxing made him exceptionally uneasy.
If Xingxing were more outgoing and good at interacting with peers, he wouldn't be so worried. But in reality, he was not good at socializing. He didn't even like playing with Xiao Ran and the others at home, let alone going to an event like this math camp.
Ye Ziyu stood at the entrance of the bathroom and turned to look at the persistently following Di Mingjue with a helpless expression. "You need to believe in Xiao Ran's social skills. Since he has the confidence to protect Xingxing and himself, we should also trust his abilities from behind."
It was like what they said online: it's not that children can't leave their parents, but rather that parents themselves can't leave their children and are unwilling to let go.
Xiao Ran was a boy. Even if Xingxing wasn't at the math camp, he would have to spend six days and five nights independently.
"I believe him, it's just..."
"No 'just.' Stop talking."
Cutting off Di Mingjue's worries, Ye Ziyu entered the bathroom and forcefully closed the door, signaling to Di Mingjue that if he continued to speak, he would be slammed shut like this door.
He stood guard at the bathroom door, unable to cast aside his worries.
After taking care of his needs, Ye Ziyu opened the bathroom door from the inside. Seeing Di Mingjue standing at the door like a wall, she left without a word.
"Ziyu, are you sure you don't want to go see them?" Di Mingjue walked forward. As soon as he took a step, his body uncontrollably lurched towards Ye Ziyu's back.
Ye Ziyu turned around, her face cold, and stared intently at Di Mingjue. "If you don't want to rest, you can drive over and see them. Here's the address. Stop nagging in my ear!"
After this final warning, Ye Ziyu entered the room and lay down on the bed.
She really couldn't understand what Di Mingjue was so worried about. Even if Xingxing was cold, could he possibly eat Xiao Ran?
Di Mingjue lay on the bed for a while. For some reason, he couldn't feel at ease. After Ye Ziyu fell asleep, he left the Ye residence by car in the middle of the night.
By the time Ye Ziyu discovered he was gone, it was already late at night.
Teachers were on duty in the tent area at night to prevent any accidents from happening to the children.
The teacher sitting in the rocking chair felt a strong beam of light shining towards him. He raised his hand to block it, and the light stopped directly opposite him.
Di Mingjue got out of the car and walked towards the night duty teacher.
"May I ask who you are?" the teacher asked curiously.
"Xiao Ran's father," Di Mingjue said, looking at the tents in front of him.
The teacher matched the name to the person in his mind and immediately said, "He's in the same tent as Xingxing. They should have rested by now. Do you want me to wake them up?"
Asleep?
Di Mingjue then realized he had been worrying unnecessarily. Who would have thought that the two of them were safe and sound and already asleep.
Seeing that the teacher was still waiting for a response, Di Mingjue bid farewell and left.
