"Mr. Mu, quickly, get up." It was early in the morning, a small figure appeared in front of Edward's bed and grabbed by Edward's arm, trying to pull him out of bed.
Edward did not want to let go his sweet dream, so he rolled over, but the little guy kept on pulling him. Edward had no choice but to sit up, annoyed scratching his hair. He looked at the little guy in front of him. He had come at 3 a.m. in the morning and fell asleep as soon as he went to bed. And now he was being woken up by this little fellow. He checked the time reluctantly, 'Oh my god! It was just 6 a.m!' Immediately, Edward burst into fury.
"Justin Mu, you'd better give me a good reason for waking me up so early in the morning." Edward's teeth were clenched. It seemed that Edward's "prince's syndrome" was showing up again. He hated to be disturbed when he was sleeping. So, he did not even notice that Justin called him "Mr. Mu". He was still in his grumpy mood.
"Daddy, today is the weekend, How about going out together?" Feeling his daddy was going to be angry, Justin immediately trimmed his sails by changing his attitude and put his little face on his daddy's arm.
Edward felt his life was so tragic! He drank till late night yesterday with those people because he didn't need to go to the company on weekends. But how could he forget that there still was a little guy who needed him? Edward pressed his temples without a word. 'My God, even if you want to play, you don't have to get up so early!' he thought annoyingly.
"Just tell me, Where do you want to go? Is it necessary to get up so early?" As Edward said, he got off the bed and walked to the bathroom nearly naked, making Justin roll his eyes behind.
Ow! His father was showing his abdominal muscles in front of him. Actually, Justin was used to seeing this when he was with his mother in the military troops. His daddy's figure though was not bad. There wasn't a trace of fat or even a scar on his body, it was surprisingly smooth.
"Daddy, let's go to the beach for swimming." Justin used to go to beaches with his mother and had always envied other children who could swim and play with their fathers. Now that he was with his father, he was eager to go there with him.
"Swimming?" Edward stopped in his tracks. He didn't want to become tan at the beach in such a hot weather.
"Isn't there a swimming pool at home?"
"But it's no fun to swim at home," Justin replied. There was disappointment in Justin's eyes. He frowned at what his father said. He knew Edward couldn't stand the heat. He woke him up early in the morning so that it would not be hot on the beach.
Fine! This little guy must be sent by God to torture him. However, Edward couldn't refuse him on seeing his disappointment.
Justin was very excited on the way to the beach and kept talking. The earlier disappointment and cold face had vanished and he was buoyant. It made Edward even be more pleased.
"Mr. Mu, shall we go to the amusement park after swimming?" Edward almost lost control of the steering wheel. The car slipped a little. His well-maintained brow turned into a frown. See! Daisy must have deliberately sent this cute little devil to toss him.
"Dear, how about going to the amusement park next week?" He begged Justin for he could not imagine himself playing in the amusement park. How could he survive in the amusement park in such a hot day? It is too terrible to even think about it.
"Okay, then! Keep your promise!" Justin didn't insist on it as he knew that this is already the biggest concession of Edward so he quit asking.
Beach was a place favored by everyone, except Edward of course. The waves were as blue as the sky which shone under the radiant sunlight. Edward's eyes squinted slightly. He wished to escape after seeing the huge crowd.
"Justin, can we go back?" Edward had never swum in the domestic sea. One of the main reasons was that he was afraid of being squeezed by the others in the crowd. He didn't even change to his swimsuit yet. The sight of others stripped Edward away. He was accustomed to the attention paid by others, but that didn't include this kind of naked gaze.
