Hidden Love (novel translation)

Chapter 19

Sang Yan has a difficulty to breath because of Sang Zhi's hold of his neck. He chokes and coughs.

"Ah?" Chen Ming Xu doesn't answer and looks at Sang Yan's face, it looks complicated. "Sang Zhi, are you saying that he is your dad?"

Sang Zhi is so afraid, she is imagining that everyone will scolding her. She is terrified and doesn't dare to say anything, she just nods.

Duan Jia Xu looks at Sang Zhi, he suddenly lowers his head and laughs. The little girl's eyes are big and round. There are many tears in her eyes. She has dust on her face, she looks miserable and pathetic.

Her appearance makes Chen Ming Xu say nothing.

When these two men, who Sang Zhi calls 'Dad' and 'Sang Zhi Ge Ge', stand together, it's clear to people that they are two men of the same age, even wearing the same uniform.

But hearing Sang Zhi's words, indeed this man, who Sang Zi calls 'Papa", looks similar as her. Chen Ming Xu is considering this silently.

Although he doesn't know why she's lying, he just strokes his bald head "Go and treat the wound first.

Two medical tents have been set up for this sporting event to treat injured students.

Sang Yan has calmed down and says without expression. "Okay." Then he carries Sang Zhi on his back to the tent.

Chen Ming Xu stays behind and stops Duan Jia Xu to talk for a while. Since Sang Zhi has her relatives here, he is very relieved. He can go and watch other students.

After a few seconds, Duan Jia Xu follows. Sang Zhi is lying on Sang Yan's back. She looks at Duan Jia Xu as if he were her saviour.

In next second, Sang Yan says coldly "What were you calling me before me?"

Sang Zhi doesn't dare to say anything.

"I am your dad? Did you bump your leg or your head?"

At first, because of her fall, her whole body is in pain. She doesn't want to talk much. She is just relieved that her teacher let her go. Now Sang Yan blames her. 

Her throat is dry, she feels so wronged. "Why do you keep on scolding me, you've been scolding me for the whole day." 

At that moment, she felt like the most miserable person in the world. She searched her lips and tried to control her sobs, but she couldn't. "I want to tell dad..... to go away. I don't want you to carry me..."

Sang Yan immediately shuts up. Two seconds later, he says again: "You've sprained your legs, how would you walk if I didn't carry you?

"I could walk by myself." Sang Zhi kicks her uninjured leg. "I can walk by myself. I don't need you..."

Sang Yan turns his head and says impatiently "Can't you be obedient?"

"I don't want!" Sang Zhi's tears fall down, she looks at him. "Why should I be obedient, you keep on scolding me, you scold me for the whole day...."

Sang Yan's rage is gone "...Ge Ge isn't joking." He turns a bit gentler.

Sang Zhi just says things without thinking. "You don't like me, so why didn't you ask mum to abort me before I was born? Why?"

Sang Yan frowns "What are you saying?" His voice is a little high, as if he doesn't agree with what she's said.

His tone makes Sang Zhi turn for a moment, she can't believe him. She looked at him for a while and then blinked, her tears falling again. "You're making me angry again..."

There are a few meters left before they reach the tent. Duan Jia Xu hears their conversation, he even hears Sang Zhi's cry. He rubs his eyes and cannot help but to say. "Hey, Sang Yan."
