The Unknown God of War

Chu Feng was going at full speed all the way, promptly arriving at the kindergarten just before Duo Duo’s classes ended. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. If that girl realized that he wasn’t there to pick her up after school, she would have burst into tears. Imagining that scenario, Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

“Daddy—” Before long, Duo Duo was seen running out from the kindergarten. She beamed joyfully once she caught sight of Chu Feng and opened up her tiny arms, crashing directly into Chu Feng’s arms.

This little girl has quite some strength; God knew that she might have the ability to knock him over in two years time.

Chu Feng was all smiles as Duo Duo crashed into his arms, subsequently picking her up naturally. Chu Feng was a towering man with wide shoulders, so Duo Duo could easily sit on his shoulders, her two feet swaying leisurely, cotton candy in her mouth and a sweet smile plastered on her face. This image of perfect harmony and joy drew in the envy of many children and their mothers at the kindergarten. At the same time, they caught the attention and spite of many men as well.

“Just because his figure is a little bit better, that’s why he could bear that. What’s so special about it, he’s obviously a dry and boring man!”

“Look at our bellies, round, rotund and rich—”

“Brother, great minds think alike. Look at my head, it's so shiny and magnificent—”

Duo Duo was sitting on Chu Feng’s shoulder happily, recounting her day in the kindergarten, as the sun shined upon their figures, drawing a long and stretched out shadow as they walked.

“Daddy, I’ve been a good girl in class today and even learned two Tang Dynasty poems. There’s also a little red flower, here, I’ll give it to you—”

“Daddy, the food they serve in kindergarten is not yummy at all. I want to eat braised pork belly tonight, and I won’t allow Mommy to eat, since she didn’t come to pick me up. Hmph!”

“Also there was Xiao Hu, today he kept showing off the toy that his dad bought for him and showing off his wealth. I was so annoyed…”

Chu Feng hugged the little princess in his arms as he laughed. “Then we should find a day to destroy his dad together!”

“Yay! Daddy you’re the best! I love you daddy!”

Jiangling’s weather was rainy all year round, and the weather in autumn was like a teenager girl’s mood, ever changing; just before the sun set, the evening glow spread out like a canvas across the sky, but once night came, the clouds came flowing in and it started raining heavily.

It didn’t bother Chu Feng too much, who was just listening to the rain’s pitter-patter while preparing for a sumptuous meal for dinner in the kitchen—stir-fried bamboo shoots, dry pot shrimp, braised pork ribs, three-cups chicken, as well as a whole pot of piping hot seaweed and egg drop soup; four dishes and one soup, full of color and fragrance.

However, even after for about half an hour, there was no sight nor sound of Yun Muqing.

Chu Feng made a call, and he got back a service error notice. He tried again, but this time it didn’t even connect. He glanced out the window and observed the rain, thinking to himself worriedly if she was trapped somewhere because of the heavy rain, or if something happened to her.

Duo Duo had her face pressed against the table top, staring at the wonderful feast in front of her, saying depressedly, “Why isn’t Mommy back yet? I’m starving...” She pouted while imitating the sound of her rumbling stomach with her mouth.

Chu Feng felt that his daughter was being funny, and he rubbed the back of his daughter’s head lovingly as he placed a large piece of pork ribs on her plate, saying, “Since you’re hungry, then you should eat first.”

Duo Duo’s eyes shined brightly for a moment and then dimmed before she pouted and said, “But, Mommy told me before that we need to wait for everyone to be at the table before starting to eat, so I must mind my manners.”
