Fight ICE with ICE

Xu Kai: The Picnic

So Miss Xiao is basically making me break the rules. Today was supposed to be training day, and I was supposed to teach her today no matter what the excuses were.

She wants to go on this picnic whatever thing with Miss Bei, who helped get Miss Xiao a ton of the calmness she needed.

Now comes the question, why? Why am I letting her take control over me?

Well, I wish the answer was easier to explain, but unfortunately it's not.

♡

"Mr. Xu!!! Get down here right now! We aren't going camping for a millions years!!! It's just a picnic day out!"

Little Miss I Know It All is downstairs trying to get me to come downstairs so we can start heading off.

I'm always a late person though. I like to make sure that I'm taking everything, that way, if there are any surprises, I'll be prepared for the situation.

"I'll be down in a few minutes! Don't worry we are literally 1 hour early right now."

Why does she want to go 1 hour early? It's funny how she just literally forced me to go. She didn't even ask, I just went along with this.

I chuckle at the thought as I grab bug spray just in case as well. The backpack has a bunch of pockets.

I'm taking water, some extra food supplies, sun screen, bug spray, an extra blanket, and some other small things.

I start going down and I see her looking at the time and looking really frustrated.

"I'm done?"

She rolls her eyes and reaches out. She grabs my hand and pulls me to the door to go put my shoes on.

"We've got no time for this Mr. Xu! Come on, I need to take pictures and stuff."

I feel her freezing for a second but don't comment on it.

So that's why she wnated to go early! Haha.

"Ok! I'm ready, let's go!"

I smile brightly at her and she looks at the clock real quick. She nods and we leave the house.

As we start walking down the gravel path, I wonder what Miss Yan is going to do while we are gone.

"Isn't Miss Yan coming?"

She doesn't answer for a few seconds.

"Oh! Yea um no, she is staying here today."

She nods in agreement to herself which just makes me blush a little at just how cute she looked for a second.

I nod as well, in understanding, and keep on walking down the long path towards the park. We walk in silence until I remember the bodyguard.

"Wait! What about the body guard???"

"Oh! Haha! He... ummm... he said he was a little tired! Yea that's right! He needs a little rest every once in a while, don't you think?"

I nod again, but this time hesitating a little.

She's hiding something and I can feel it. What is she hiding though? Is she actually taking me to a picnic??? Or is she taking me somewhere else??? Oh my gosh! No! No no no! She wouldn't lie to me like that! Would she?

"We are going to have a picnic, right? With who exactly?"

She looks back at me a little nervous.

"Oh it's just Wei Wei! You know! The girl that you met at that convenience store and I met at the hospital. That girl!"

I nod and smile. As soon as she turns around though, I can feel the tension starting to rise.

She's definitely hiding something. What is it...?

We walk for 10 more minutes of awkward silence before we get to the park. Once we have placed the blankets on the grass and seated ourselves, Miss Xiao turns around with excitement.

"Ok Mr. Xu! Since this is a picnic, how about we take some pictures!!! It's a beautiful day and we ought to keep some memories, right?"

I see her waiting nervously anticipating my answer to be positive. I slowly nod and she smiles really brightly.

"Thank you thank you so much!!!"

She sits really close to me and holds her phone out in the air. Her arms are short in length so she can't take our pictures well unless we get closer. We are already really close though.

Getting any closer would be the death of me. I promised her father to respect all of her  boundaries! If she wants to take these pictures, then I must help her since I have longer arms.

"How about I take the pictures!"

She turns around so fast that her face is really close to mine.

"Would you?!" She exclaims with excitement, but then she notices how close our faces are.

She pulls away immediately and then freezes in place for a second. Then she hands me her phone and gets close to me again.

"Take the pictures Mr. Xu!"

She still has a sweet voice activated. I bet as soon as I take those pictures, she'll go back to her normal self again. I want her to feel happy and excited.

"Can we take more pictures later while we eat and stuff?"

She nods her head.

"But pleae take those pictures already!"

I laugh and start taking pictures of me and her together.

We take the food out ad keep on taking pictures. Miss Xiao seems really happy for once since she has come to live with us.

I'm starting to laugh at the funny poses she is making while we take more pictures of her eating and drinking. But as I'm starting to enjoy being around her alone, I get startled by a voice.

"Hi guys! Did you have a lot of fun without me?"
