The thought only crossed Su Ye’s mind briefly. The next morning, considering the team had to leave early for the match on the next day, meaning that no one would be around to look after the kid, he decided to bring the kid to the police station

  He was carrying the fast asleep doll-like girl with one hand. Ye Li had already left early to buy some groceries.

  The young man with a baby face yawned and said, “That Ye Li is out of his mind. He left early in the morning to buy some groceries. He kept mumbling how we shouldn’t mistreat a kid.”

  “He’s crazy.”

  Their half-asleep coach came out of the training room with one hand in his pocket, “Let him be. You can’t possibly be eating instant noodles every day when there’s a little kid around?”

  It actually sounded pretty heart-wrenching.

  They would occasionally order some takeaway, but they would only eat instant noodles most of the time.

  Su Ye carried the little girl in his arms. She was munching as if she was dreaming of some delicacies. She was incredibly adorable.

  *Cough……*the coach rubbed his nose. He was surprised that he actually had a soft heart.

  After all, the kid was just too good-looking.

  He murmured under his breath and said, “Where did Ye Li kidnap this kid from? I should go and kidnap one for myself too. Her parents must be going crazy trying to look for her.”

  Su Ye did not comment on it.

  Ye Li returned from the outside in a rush. He flipped his short hair and blurted out, “That scared the hell out of me.”

  “Someone recognized me when I went to the market. A bunch of your fangirls came and asked me if anything happened to you. They were asking why you weren’t yourself during the tournament. They might’ve even chased me all the way here if I didn’t run away quick enough.”

  Su Ye cast a side glance at him, “I told you not to go out there.”

  He actually bought a lot of groceries.

  They were only a bunch of gamers. Did anyone know how to cook?

  Ye Li scratched the back of his head and smiled, “She’s still so young. We can’t let her eat instant noodles every meal.”

  Su Ye smacked his lips and squinted his eyes. He chuckled and said, “How do you know she doesn’t like to eat instant noodles?”

  “Little kid,” he reached his finger out and poked the girl’s chubby face, “Do you like instant noodles? Hmm?”

  Ye Sang mumbled, “I……I do.”

  The man raised his brows happily, “If so, you will eat instant noodles every meal with us.”

  The others, “.……”

  The coach, “.……”

  Can he have some common sense?

  Ye Li proceeded to imagine the adorable girl eating instant noodles with them every day.

  *Gasp……*such a beautiful sight……

  “She’s just a kid. I don’t think eating instant noodles is good for her.”

  Wen Xuan looked at Su Ye and said, “Brother Su, there are lines we shouldn’t cross.”

  Su Ye chuckled.

  “You don’t understand,” He pinched the little kid’s face and smirked, “She even said it was the best instant noodles she had eaten.”

  Su Ye paused briefly before adding, “If she likes it so much, she will eat instant noodles for every meal.”

  Ye Li, “.……such a single-minded guy……”

  He’s beyond redemption……

  “I’ll handle the cooking. The rest of you stay here,” the coach repeated after a brief pause, “Remember, don’t even set a foot into the kitchen.”

  The others indifferently gave their promise.

  “To think that our coach will be cooking for us one day. We should be grateful toward the little girl,” Ye Li grinned and pinched the little girl’s face.

  Her skin was as fair as snow. Her curly brows shuddered slightly. She pouted her lips as she was feeling uncomfortable from the pinch while harrumphing subconsciously.

  Su Ye kicked the man without any hesitation.

  He squinted and snapped without mercy, “Did you wash your hand? Who gave you the permission to touch her?”

  Ye Li pouted, “.……it’s just a quick touch.”

  Why is he being so protective?

  However, Ye Li managed to dodge the kick nimbly.

  He was so adept at dodging it that it was somewhat a heart-aching sight.

  The man must have beaten him up many times in the past.

  “We can easily win the loser’s bracket’s match tomorrow with our eyes closed tomorrow……” Ye Li murmured.

  It was not like he was looking down on their opponents.

  Their opponents in the losers’ bracket were ranked last in the West Division. Even the worst team could win against their opponents, let alone them.

  They were the strongest team in the East Division, but they had ended up in the losers’ bracket because God Su was not performing as he usually did after the tournament.

  Even so, he found it hard to believe that their team would lose to DIO.

  Su Ye wore a self-mocking grin while listening to Ye Li’s murmuring. He looked at the rest of the team who were focusing on their practice. His eyes flickered with a grim look.

  Without him, the others would be able to transfer to other teams. After all, many teams would be interested in the players from HL.

  Su Ye fondled the little girl’s head. He placed his chin on her head and grinned even further.

  “I never thought……” he pinched the little girl’s face and said, “I can actually be a good person for once.”

  Unfortunately……

  No one would ever understand the reason behind his decision.

  The little kid harrumphed uncomfortably after being pinched on the face. She dug her face into the man’s arms and murmured, “Daddy……”

  Her soft voice was extremely adorable.

  Su Ye asked in deep thoughts, “Are you missing your father?”

  It made a lot of sense.

  Every kid who left their home would be missing their parents, right?

  He hugged the little girl in his arms. Even though he was not too fond of kids, he was not against it since it was only for a day.

  He would soon send her away.

  Ye Sang did not respond. She curled her lips as she was fast asleep again.

  The tiny gold ingot hanging around her neck was exposed. Su Ye lifted it up with his finger, which made it clink.

  He smacked his lips.

  He could not tell that the kid was from a wealthy family.

  “Brother Su,” Ye Li never learned from his mistake. He came over with a smile and said when he noticed Su Ye’s expressionless face, “Are you really going to send her away?”

  Such an adorable little girl……

  She did not throw a tantrum after coming to their club. Ye Li even had an urge to bring her back home and raise her. Wouldn’t it be too cruel to send her away?

  Su Ye looked at Ye Li coldly, “If not, are you going to take care of her?”

  Ye Li fell silent for a few seconds before he murmured, “It’s not necessarily a bad idea if we won the match.”

  Su Ye wore another self-mocking grin, but it soon dissipated as he reclaimed his usual indifferent expression.

  Tsk……

  No one knew better than him that Grandworld Corporation would never let them win. HL would be disbanded after they lost the match. Everyone would be busy adapting to their new team. Who would have the time to look after a kid?
