Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

Zhong Yuhuan looked up at Huo Chengming and asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"No, I am not," said Huo Chengming. Then, lifting his hand, he wrapped it around Zhong Yuhuan's shoulder and said, "Lean on me."

Zhong Yuhuan shook her head, "My neck will be crooked."

After that, she kicked off her shoes and moved her entire body onto the seat before leaning her head down on Huo Chengming's lap.

Huo Chengming was not ready for that; instinctively, he reached out one hand to support her back.

Zhong Yuhuan said, "I'll sleep like this."

Huo Chengming looked at her curled up legs, making her body seemed even smaller. With one hand under her back, he pulled her up a bit and said, "Sleep."

His hand perfectly supported the back of her head to make her feel more comfortable.

Zhong Yuhuan yawned and slowly closed her eyes.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but turn around to take a look. Smiling, he said, "You siblings are so close."

Huo Chengming smiled as well. Lowly, he said, "We are."

Chen Mingye was starting to get sleepy as well, so he started engaging Huo Chengming in conversation. First, he asked Huo Chengming how school was, then he asked if Zhong Yuhuan was bullied at school.

"She won't be bullied." Huo Chengming pursed his lips, then said in a low voice, "She's very popular everywhere she goes."

"Oh, that's true."

As Chen Mingye was talking, he started rambling.

It didn't matter whether Huo Chengming could follow or not, he complained about his business partners, his clients, even his silly father.

"Day after day, I mean, I can't catch a break," frowned Chen Mingye as he went on and on.

Having said that, he stopped talking right away, "..... Let's not wake her up."

Huo Chengming looked down at her.

Zhong Yuhuan was sound asleep.

Chen Mingye sighed, "My silly dad had a bunch of bastard kids, each one dumber than the previous one. All of them are worse than me. I had to do everything, and all they ever want is money. What the hell?"

Suddenly, Huo Chengming said in a low voice, "There a solution for that."

Chen Mingye went on for a bit longer, ".... And that silly dad of mine, when will he stop.... Eh? What did you just say?"

Huo Chengming repeated himself again in a low voice, "This matter can be resolved."

Chen Mingye lifted his head slightly and, through the rearview mirror, he saw the look on Huo Chengming.

His beautiful brows were lowered, and his eyes hazy. It didn't look like he was joking; contrarily, his look could make one worry.

Chen Mingye was just about to say something else when he looked up and saw the street sign.

"We are almost there. You might want to wake her up."

"Mmm," replied Huo Chengming as he lifted Zhong Yuhuan up.

Zhong Yuhuan woke up from being lifted into an upright position. She blinked slowly so she could see clearer.

Chen Mingye pulled his car over to the side of the road. Quickly, workers came over to take care of the car.

Huo Chengming reached out and held Zhong Yuhuan's hand and pulled her out of the car.

They have arrived at the beach.

The sun was warm, and they could hear the sea breeze brushing pass their ears. The wind gave an indescribable calming effect.

Following behind Chen Mingye, they walked forward.

They were just about to step onto the beach when Huo Chengming could no longer remain calm.

He gave Zhong Yuhuan a full body hug. On top of that, with one hand behind her head, he pressed her against his chest.

Zhong Yuhuan struggled for a bit. A little dazed, she asked him in a dull voice, "What is going on?"

Huo Chengming turned, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

He had overlooked something important.

He had heard about this place before from a fellow classmate. The Brighton Beach of Cornwall was the famous first nude beach!
