In those days, although he and Bai Xiao were having a lot of trouble, the wedding ring was always worn on his ring finger.
The female model was also a pretentious person and insisted that he wear a men's ring to match her. Bai Xiao was nearby at the time. Although he was impatient, he took off his wedding ring and placed it on the deck next to him, wearing the wedding ring.
Pretending to be intimate with the female model.
Bai Xiao stood quietly aside, holding two bath towels, without saying a word.
When the cruise ship docked, it did not stop. It tilted to the left, and even the wedding ring on the deck fell into the sea.
At that moment, he saw the indifferent mask on Bai Xiao's face cracked.
"What should I do? The ring fell in!" The female model pretended to hum, "It couldn't be from one of you, right?"
How did he respond at that time?
He put his arm around the female model's waist and pinched her cheek: "*? Isn't my* you?"
Without taking another look at Bai Xiao, he took the female model off the cruise ship.
He didn't see Bai Xiao at the company the next day, and later learned that she fell ill after returning from overseas. She had a high fever and took a week's leave.
He never asked Bai Xiao what he did after that day, and he was not as indifferent to the wedding ring as it seemed. Several times when he was sleeping, he thought about salvaging the ring, but every time he woke up from the dream,
He was thrown away again.
Bai Xiao looked at Pei Qiyou's dazed look and knew that he had remembered.
"Those pains cannot be forgotten just by forgetting them. When did you become so whimsical?"
Pei Qiyou frowned. Under the bright light, his brows were clear and clear, less angry and more painful.
Bai Xiao turned away, "Can you still find the ring? If not, what else can we say?"
——————————
Bai Xiao received a text message before going to bed.
"I'm on a business trip tomorrow. Jing Xi and I will pick you up on Saturday and we'll have dinner together at the East Palace - Yu Shaoting."
Bai Xiao lay on the bed and looked at the signature at the end of the text message. Her mind wandered a little, and then she calculated that Saturday was the day after tomorrow.
——————————
When Yu Shaoting returned home, Aunt Li had already gone to rest, and a wall lamp was lit in the corridor on the second floor of the villa.
He changed his shoes, took off his coat and went upstairs. He happened to bump into Yu Jingxi who came out of the bedroom with his eyes closed.
Yu Jingxi's small bedroom did not have a separate bathroom. If she wanted to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, she had to go to the bathroom in the corridor.
Yu Jingxi was wearing the warm suit, with curly hair on her head, her mouth slightly open, her eyes closed, and staggering out of the bedroom with bare feet. She went to the bathroom next to her with her senses, then peeled off her pants and faced
I peed in the toilet, and my eyes never opened even a crack from beginning to end.
After peeing, Yu Jingxi let out a sigh of relief, then pulled up his pants and walked out in a daze, walking past Yu Shaoting.
Yu Shaoting did not go back to his room immediately, but followed Yu Jingxi into the small bedroom.
When Yu Jingxi crawled into bed and fell asleep, Yu Shaoting sat down beside him and looked at Yu Jingxi's rosy little face with the help of the weak desk lamp light. His eyebrows and eyes were completely a miniature version of Bai Xiao's. It took him a long time to stand.
He got up and took a piece of hair from the pillow before leaving.
——————————
In the morning, Yu Jingxi went to the dining table, scooping out the cereal in the milk bowl with a spoon and playing with it on her mobile phone.
Yu Shaoting's eyes moved away from the newspaper and fell on the face of his delighted son: "Why don't you concentrate on breakfast?"
Yu Jingxi glanced at her father and said beautifully: "Right now, I'll send a good morning message to Xiaobai."
In the past few days, after Aunt Li's teaching and his own research, Yu Jingxi has been able to use some simple words to send text messages.
Suddenly, Yu Jingxi looked up at Yu Shaoting: "Dad, has Xiaobai been looking for me on WeChat recently?"
Yu Shaoting glanced at him and turned his attention to the financial section of the newspaper again.
After the father and son finished breakfast, one put on his hat and carried a big schoolbag to prepare for school, and the other carried a trolley suitcase to prepare for a business trip.
"Dad, when will you come back this time?" Then calculate how many days you can stay at Xiaobai's house...
Yu Shaoting seemed to have read through his thoughts, "If you don't want to be disliked by her, you'd better know how to measure yourself, and don't be like a dog-skin plaster."
Yu Jingxi hummed twice and grabbed the strap of her schoolbag.
After Yu Shaoting got in the car and left, Yu Jingxi immediately shouted while going upstairs: "Aunt Li, help me pack my clothes!"
But this time, before he rushed to Bai Xiao's house with his small suitcase, he was picked up by Mrs. Yu who came out halfway after school.
——————————
In the next few days, apart from posting her resume online to look for a job, Bai Xiao basically spent the rest of the time going to Pei's house to see her grandmother.
In fact, she wanted to take her grandma out to live with her, but Jiang Yingmei and Mrs. Pei were very firm in their attitude, and they really treated grandma as a distinguished guest.
Going to Pei's house is inevitably an encounter with Pei Qiyou.
Men who used to be homeless began to appear in front of her frequently, even if they did not communicate verbally.
On Friday, Bai Xiao went to Pei's house to visit her grandmother as usual.
When Jiang Yingmei cut an orange for Zhou Aihua, she accidentally cut her index finger, which caused blood to flow out.
Bai Xiao looked everywhere for band-aids, but to no avail. However, Aunt Rong reminded her: "There is a spare medical kit in the young master's room. There may be some in it."
Pei Qiyou's room was also their new home back then, but she had never slept in it for a night.
Five years later, Bai Xiao stood at the door of this room again, feeling as if she was in another world.
She pushed the door open and went straight to the cabinet to get the medicine box. The medicine box was actually prepared by her for Pei Qiyou a few years ago. Of course she knew exactly where it would be hidden. The gauze curtains in the room were closed and the light was dim, like
No one has lived there for a long time.
There was a group photo hanging on the wall above his head, which was of the two of them. The smiles of the two people in the photo suddenly became very dazzling. Bai Xiao looked away, squatted by the cabinet, opened the drawer to get the medicine, but there was no
I found the medicine box, but it was an exquisite peninsula iron box.
Bai Xiao did not open it. On the contrary, he immediately closed the drawer as if there was a savage beast inside.
When she stood up and turned around, she saw Pei Qiyou standing at the door of the room at some point.
"Why don't you open it and take a look?" He asked, staring at her with his dark eyes.
"Isn't that necessary?" Bai Xiao turned away and looked for the medicine box: "Where did you put the medicine box?"
Pei Qiyou looked at her steadily and did not answer for a long time.
Bai Xiao was too lazy to continue searching. She walked past him and was about to go out, but Pei Qiyou reached out and held her.
"Let go." Bai Xiao turned her head and looked at him.
Pei Qiyou's raised Adam's apple moved, and his eyes looked at her a little slowly, but he still let go.
————————————
Coming out of the room, Bai Xiao felt that she was in a bad mood.
She didn't put a band-aid on it, but Pei's mother's bleeding had stopped and she was wrapped with a piece of gauze.
Bai Xiao made an excuse and left Pei's house without having dinner. When she left, Pei Qiyou stood on the second floor watching her back.
It's rare that he didn't catch up.
On the way back, Bai Xiao saw a Minion poster in front of a movie theater and remembered that she still owed Yu Jingxi a decent gift.
After asking the driver to stop the car, she walked around a nearby shopping mall, and finally bought a Minions pencil case and a set of warmers with Minions printed on them.
As soon as she got home, Bai Xiao's cell phone rang. It was Yu Jingxi's exclusive number.
Bai Xiao put down her shopping bag and pressed the answer button: "Jing Xi, are you okay?"
"Oh, I just wanted to ask you, did you forget that we made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night?"
Bai Xiao looked at the child he had just bought, and listened to his soft and waxy voice, and felt better: "I didn't forget, I prepared a gift for you."
"Is it for me?" Yu Jingxi almost jumped up from the sofa, but because of the man next to him, he still said calmly: "Thank you, Xiaobai."
A note was handed over on the coffee table.
Yu Jingxi glanced at the man who was leaning back on the sofa and reading a magazine. He read the contents of the note carefully: "Xiaobai, have a good meal tomorrow. Can I go to your house in the evening? I have homework and I can't do it. You
Can you teach me?"
"Where is your father? Can't he teach you?"
Yu Jingxi's eyes rolled, "My dad is very busy, he may have to work overtime tomorrow night!"
"Why don't you come home again on Sunday? It's not convenient to go back at night."
Yu Jingxi almost blurted out, "Then I can spend the night at your place," but when she saw the look in the man's eyes, she immediately complied.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Jingxi looked at Yu Shaoting unhappily: "Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance that you and Xiaobai had made an appointment to have dinner tomorrow night?"
Yu Shaoting closed the magazine, got up from the sofa, and ignored his son's accusatory questions.
Over there, Mrs. Yu has prepared dinner, and General Staff Yu and Chief Yu also came out of the study.
There is an unwritten rule in the Yu family. No matter how busy the family is, they must always spare a few days a month to go back to the compound.
Yu Shaoting came here directly as soon as he got off the plane.
As dinner came to an end, Mrs. Yu's special performance came again.
The old lady wiped Yu Jingxi's mouth full of rice, and Yu Jingxi immediately said sweetly: "Thank you, grandma."
Old Mrs. Yu felt very sorry for her grandson, and the topic naturally extended to her younger son: "Look, even your son understands things better than you. You are already thirty-four now, and you will be forty in the blink of an eye."
, why don’t you let me feel at ease?”
Chief Yu couldn't help but speak for his younger brother: "Actually, men of Xiaosan's age are the most popular with young girls."
"Then why don't I see the young girl approaching you?" Mrs. Yu glared at her second son with a tigerish face.
Chief Yu lowered his head to eat and never interrupted again.
General Staff Yu, who had been silent tonight, spoke up and looked at Yu Shaoting: "You don't like girls from the Qian family?"
"Yeah, I really don't like it." Yu Jingxi replied inarticulately while biting the chicken leg.
What children say at the dinner table is always ignored.
General Staff Yu looked directly at Yu Shaoting: "Then tell me, what kind of things do you care about?"
"Anyway, it's not like Qian Yueyue." Yu Jingxi said to General Staff Yu with a smile while peeling off the shrimp shells with his small hands.
Yu Shaoting seemed not to have heard his father's question, and took his time picking up vegetables to eat.
General Staff Yu had always had a fiery temper, but now he had to suppress it and said in a good tone: "Your mother and I are not old-fashioned. If you really have a girl you like, bring her home and let us see. If she is
There is no problem at home, so let’s decide on the happy event.”
Yu Jingxi looked at her grandfather and then her grandmother, and smiled shyly: "Since you said so, I will bring Xiaobai here next time."
Opposite him, Yu Shaoting glanced at him coldly, and Yu Jingxi immediately shut his mouth.
"I'm talking to you! Why are you pretending to be dumb?" General Staff Yu finally became angry and his voice rose a lot.
Yu Shaoting put down his bowl and chopsticks, leaned on his chair and looked at everyone else at the table, as if he had something important to announce.
After the whole family's eyes were focused on him, Yu Shaoting said, "I have someone I like."
To have the usually taciturn mistress of the Yu family say something like a confession was scarier than the red rain falling from the sky. Even Chief Yu couldn't help but look up at his brother, wondering what he was up to.
"Over the years, my second brother and I have let my father and mother worry about us. I've thought about it a lot these days, and I feel that we can't go on like this anymore."
Chief Yu, who was lying innocently with a gun, lowered his head silently and continued to eat.
Mrs. Yu suddenly became excited: "Which girl is that from? You can bring her here and have a look. Forget it, this will scare her. Why don't you tell me her work address and I will go and have a look quietly.
By the way, who else is in her family?"
Yu Shaoting glanced at Mrs. Yu who almost cried with joy: "She can take her time after her divorce."
Immediately, General Staff Yu roared in the Yu family villa: "You bastard, what are you doing with a married woman?"
——————————
On the way back to Qinyuan, Yu Jingxi glanced fearfully at the stern-faced man driving next to her, "Dad, are you okay?"
General Staff Officer Yu was so angry that he overturned the table and then smashed the ashtray on his youngest son's head. If Yu Shaoting hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have been carried into the hospital sideways, not just with a scratch on his left forehead.
Gone inside.
Faced with his son's concern, Yu Shaoting just nodded lightly.
Yu Jingxi hugged the newly bought minion pillow, swayed her legs, and said as if she was indestructible: "Dad, why do you fall in love with a woman who has a husband? No wonder grandpa wants to teach you a lesson. Instead,
It's me, I can also take a cigarette, ashes, and a jar and smash it against you..."
Under Yu Shaoting's cold eyes, Yu Jingxi spoke softer and softer, until the last word was mumbled in his throat.
——————————
When she got home, Yu Jingxi threw away her big schoolbag and ran upstairs like a runaway pony with her small cell phone.
Recently, Yu Jingxi has a good relationship with Fatty Wu in his class. Because Yu Jingxi lent Fatty Wu the Minion that Xiaobai gave him to play with for one class, the two immediately turned into friendship and became good brothers who hang out after class.
"Wu Liaoming, let me bring you chocolates tomorrow. My father brought them back from Belgium!"
The room full of children laughing and laughing made Yu Shaoting feel a sharp pain in his temples.
He went upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door. Yu Shaoting took off his clothes and took a shower. After he came out, he lay on the bed but was not sleepy at all. He tossed and turned, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling. After being lost in thought for a long time, he sat up and took a bath.
Opened the door to the fitting room.
When picking up the undershirt to match his coat, he subconsciously picked up a white shirt.
——————————
Bai Xiao took a shower and dried her hair with a hair dryer. She was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID - Kiss Xiaoxi. It was not the Yu Jingxi she entered in her address book.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Xiao picked up the phone. A question came from the other end with a bad tone: "Why did you answer the phone?"
Bai Xiao pursed her lips and said, "I was just taking a shower."
There was silence on the other end for a long time before two words popped out: "Come down."
"What?" Bai Xiao didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
"downstairs."
Bai Xiao frowned, but walked to the balcony. Sure enough, the Bentley Continental was parked downstairs in the apartment.
Turning to look at the clock on the wall, Bai Xiao refused: "It's too late..."
"Then I'll go up."
Bai Xiao saw that the driver's door was really open and hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing!"
"Can't get down?"
Bai Xiao hung up the phone, bit her lip, put on a coat and left the bedroom.
