After playing for a while, all the kids slowly dispersed one by one with their respective families. The only ones left are Shao Rong and the captain-boy.
"Xiao Cheng, when are your parents coming to fetch you?" Shao Rong asked the kid. She couldn't bring herself to leave a kid alone on the beach without any elders by his side. Hence she decided that she would wait until his parents came to fetch him.
But what she didn't know is that, all the kid was trying to avoid was her to meet his parents or rather his father. He would rather stay alone on the beach but not allow her to meet his father allowing her to hate himself.
"Why do you care? I am not a kid. I can wait for my parents alone here. There is no need for you to meet them," he spoke, turning his head sideways in his typical tsundere way for which Shao Rong was already habituated to in the short span of time they played together.
