The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 294 – Ch. 294 Hide And Seek

A group of small children played in a large yard filled with flowers and grass. They decide to play hide-and-seek and vote who would be the 'it.'

"Yeah! Kaylee, you're the 'it' now."

"Eh? Why is it always me who is the 'it'?" Kaylee frowned cutely as she made a puppy face towards the taller boy.

The boy looked at Kaylee gently and ruffled her hair in affectionate touch. "I will hide in the usual place."

"Hey, Zeezee! Do you know it's called cheating? You're pampering her too much?"

"How about you? You are her big sister, but you always make her a loser?"

"What?? Kaylee, did I make you a loser?"

"No. But I did often be in losing one and became the 'it' at the end of the day."

"See? I didn't make her a loser, but she often loses and has to be the 'it.' It's not my fault that she wasn't a hiding-expert!"

"Is that what a sister supposed to say?" Zeezee argued.

"Then why don't you just be the 'it' in her place?" challenged Roxy fearlessly, even though the boy was much bigger than her.

"Who's afraid? I'll be the 'it' this time." the boy said in a smugly arrogant tone, but that changed as soon as he spoke to Kaylee. "Kaylee, whatever happens, close your eyes and don't make a sound."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." another girl clicked her tongue while shaking her head. "Aren't you going to just leave her as usual? You always pretend you didn't see her even though you found her hiding place. Roxy, we can't let him do what he wants."

"I agree with you. Kaylee will be the 'it.' End of discussion." Roxy's decision was unanimous, and she was sure that nothing would be able to change it.

"Roxy, you…" Zeezee couldn't continue his earful scolding when he felt something tug at the hem of his shirt.

He turned to the little girl who was looking down shyly as she said in her very distinctive voice, "I'm fine with being the 'it.'"

"…" Zeezee was speechless at how timid this little girl was. Why are these sisters had contradictory nature?

One was wild and decided things at her will, while the other was timid, shy, and liked to be alone.

"See? She's willing to be the 'it.' Why are you so fussy?"

"…" this girl really… He wished he could knock some sense on her brainless mind. "Fine. Kaylee, don't forget my hideout."

Kaylee smiled as she nodded her head while Roxy and Gwen rolled their eyes lazily.

Roxy immediately marched into her favorite maze garden and hid there as soon as the game started. She didn't expect an adult to be there, so she had to go deeper until she found a strange floor.

The floor had a stone color that was different from its surroundings. As curious as she is, Roxy crouched down with one hand perched on a lamp pillar while her other hand touched the floor.

Unbeknownst to her, her hand touching the pillar shifted to the side. No. It wasn't her hands, but the pillar! And now, the strange floor under her other hand was splitting in two, revealing a staircase leading to the lower ground.

'What place is this?' Little Roxy couldn't help but be curious about what she would find down there.

Could there be a hidden treasure that her father kept secret? Oh, Roxy loved treasure hunting. Moreover, she planned to make her father panic and be bewildered when he learned that one of the hidden treasures had disappeared.

Of course, Roxy was the one who stole it.

The eight-year-old Roxy walked down the spiral staircase until her feet reached the ground floor. She couldn't see anyone standing not far away and watching her anxiously.

'No, go back. Don't go there.' a voice appeared not far from the little Roxy, but the voice seemed to have fallen to dead ears.

The curious little thing couldn't hear the voice nor see the owner of the voice. She kept walking inside until she forgot she was playing hide and seek with her sister and friends.

Until one point, she heard a voice, but not the same voice that warned her.

"Please, believe me. It was a setup! I would never betray you."

"I almost lost one of my daughters a few days ago, and all the evidence is in my hands. You're still saying that you were framed?"

"Papa?" Roxy recognized the last voice, and she quickened her pace towards her father's voice.

'Please, don't go.' and once again, little Roxy couldn't hear the warning voice.

Little Roxy was too excited to surprise her father on this secret tunnel. She knew her house had several… even dozens of underground passages connected in certain places, and Roxy enjoyed exploring them.

The further she walked, the louder and clearer her father's voice became. Unfortunately, Roxy reached a dead end, and only a brownstone wall was in front of her.

"Tell me one reason why I shouldn't get rid of you right now."

Ugh! She was closed! Roxy was sure that her father was behind the same rock wall next to her, and all she needed to do was turn to the right and appear before her father.

Little Roxy investigated the wall that prevented her from seeing her father and found a small hole but big enough to see what was behind this wall.

Roxy settled her hands against the wall and brought her face closer to the hole. She peeked at what was happening there and was a bit surprised because she didn't expect to see what she saw at that moment.

Right now, her father was pointing a gun at an unknown kneeling-on-his-knees man. That man wore a desperate expression filled with terror, and Roxy could see the tears that escaped from that poor man's eyes.

"Please, please… spare my life. I really didn't do it."

"Wrong answer."

The moment Roxy heard a loud explosion, a woman appeared out of nowhere and protected her father's target. Everything was going so fast that Roxy couldn't react.

Who is she?

As the woman slumped down, Roxy gasped in surprise when she saw the woman's face. She didn't even realize she made a voice.

"Who's there?!"

A gun aimed precisely at the hole she was peeking in made Roxy wake up from her long dream.
