Little Dengdeng vs Peng Deng

Once in his life, he wasn't poor. There was a time when he was a young master. They were once called the great Peng family but something happened.

Something.

This word rang in his head as he opened his eyes. He was still in the same place but something seemed different. Peng Deng stood up then walked to the pond. The pond was as it was before, gleaming and clear.

The pond was unmoving, there was no movement at all, for this reason, Peng Deng had an urge to throw skipping stones on the water.

He was sure he saw some pebbles around this place. He looked around only to be rewarded with shiny and smooth pebbles but these pebbles weren't normal pebbles they were crystal pebbles.

These pebbles look very costly. If I give them to Qing Wu will she let me talk to her?

The boy was busy thinking about Qing Wu when he was about to end his life because of her a couple of hours back. It hadn't even been a day. Peng Deng placed one in his pocket and held five in his left hand. He wasn't far from the pond as he bent in a certain angle then threw the pebble towards the pond.

When the pebble hit the water an image appeared. Once the pebble hit the water the second time a red glow formed where the pebble came in contact with the water, then the third an orange glow, the fourth a green glow and so on until a rainbow was formed.

Peng Deng gasped. He remembered calling the girl stupid in his head. Is it meant to show me something?

Suddenly Peng Deng heard a sweet laugh. It was Qing Wu's laugh but it came from the water. Peng Deng approached the water cautiously and then looked into the water.

He was puzzled about what he saw.

It was a scene when Qing Wu was 9 and he was 10.

"Dengdeng, the rabbit is running away from me! It doesn't want me to touch it…*Sob*"

"It's okay, I'll get it for you." Little Dengdeng said happily and proudly.

The Qing and Peng family had a close relationship. The Peng family used its resources and wealth to help the Qing family to the top ten most powerful family in the Shu kingdom. In the scene, they were in the Peng garden. It was one of the finest gardens in all of

He coaxed the rabbit and it happily jumped to him. Little Dengdeng then gave Qing Wu the rabbit. Once Qing Wu got the rabbit, she jumped happily and smiled at Little Dengdeng.

Peng Deng felt his heartbeat rise as he looked at the water. At that time Qing Wu's body and voice were of a child but now she was a grown woman. It made Peng Deng's face flash red. It brought the thought of marriage back. He smiled as he thought about their wedding night. He had to get her. Maybe once he became rich with the help of the young girl, he could get Qing Wu's hand in marriage. But then he remembered a certain someone who could mess his plans, Ye Lang. Ye Lang and Qing Wu had been getting closer and closer by the day, it may have been possible that they were engaged. Peng Deng became depressed with jealousy.

Then the scene on the water changed it was another heartwarming scene.

"Poom!"

This time Peng Deng was 11 and Qing Wu was 10. In this scene, Qing Wu had accidentally bumped into Peng Deng and fell on him.

"Haha"

"Hahaha"

They both laughed and smiled at each other. Little Dengdeng had a mischievous glint in his eyes while Qing Wu's face was red from embarrassment and laughter.

Peng Deng's heartbeat raised again. What if I bring Qing Wu here? Will she fall in love with me?

Was he getting stupider by the moment?

"Will you play tea party with me?"

"Okay! How do you play it?"

"Come I'll show you?"

Heartwarming scenes after joyous scenes kept playing. But suddenly the scenes all stoped and they paused when Peng Deng and Qing Wu were laughing.

It seemed as though everything stopped he felt himself fall in love with her all over again but then all the scenes merged together to form two silhouettes. One would be stupid not to know what was going. Then the water let out harsh breaths and moans. The silhouettes started getting its colour and in front of Peng Deng was Qing Wu and Ye Lang in bed.

His heart broke even further. Tears streamed down his face. No, this can't be.

"Mhm!" Qing Wu seemed to be in bliss.

As Peng Deng's tears fell into the pond the scene changed.

"How is Peng Dengand his siblings?" Qing Hauling, Qing Wu's step-sister.

"He's okay."

"Did they like my dumplings?"

Qing Wu had never come with any food for him. Peng Deng remembered very well that it was he who would hustle just so he could buy her favourite dessert for her. Peng Deng remembered the way Qing Hauling would bring him and his siblings' food every week. He remembered how she cooked his favourite dumplings until he told her to stop bringing food for him. Qing Wu had told him how lowly Qing Hauling thought of him and his siblings, at that time he thought that was why she brought food for them so he told her to stop.

"He said he didn't like dumplings and he doesn't want to see you."

"I… I" Qing Hauling had made them carefully, just the way Peng Deng liked his dumplings. Qing Hauling ran towards her courtyard with tears streaming down her face.

Peng cried even more after looking at Qing Hauling's teary face.

The scene changed again,

"Ye Lang, I made dumplings for you."

"Mhh, they are so good. Did you make them yourselves?"

"Yess. I put in all my hard work into it. You can even see how the dumpling…"

As Qing Wu kept talking Peng Deng felt an emotion boiling up within him, anger!

Qing Wu had never brought dumplings or any food for him. She seemed to have worked very hard just to make the finest dumplings for Ye Lang. Peng Deng looked closer and saw a H curved on the basket which carried the dumplings. Those weren't Qing Wu's dumplings they were Qing Hauling's dumplings. These were the dumplings meant for him.
