Xiaobai, I will stay with you to celebrate the new year, okay?
"Maybe I haven't fallen in love with you yet, but at least I like you."
Outside the apartment building, the Bentley Continental was under the locust tree, and the hazy street lights cast a shadowy silhouette through the half-lowered car window.
Yu Shaoting sat in the car for a while and was about to start the car when a call from Mrs. Yu came.
"Shao Ting, have you found Jing Xi?" The old lady would only call his name on very formal occasions or in emergencies.
"I don't know how the Xu family got the news that Jing Xi ran away from home. Just now the old lady of the Xu family called and said that if we can't take care of the children, they wouldn't mind taking Jing Xi over to discipline them," the old lady said later.
Angry and worried.
This is the direct grandson of their Yu family, how could they be raised by another family? Not even the child’s mother’s natal family!
In fact, it is not surprising that the Xu family would get the news.
A branch of the Xu family works in the Fengcheng Public Security Bureau. If the old lady calls the police, the other party will definitely tell the Xu family in the capital the news as soon as possible.
After all, Yu Jingxi is nominally Xu Xiyuan’s biological son.
Over the years, the Xu family has frequently made requests to raise Yu Jingxi, but every time they were dismissed by Yu Shaoting, this time it was just "taking advantage of the situation."
Yu Shaoting hung up the phone and dialed Bai Xiao's number directly. The result was that the phone was turned off.
He dialed Yu Jingxi's cell phone number again, and it beeped twice before being pressed. He dialed again and was pressed again, but the phone was not turned off.
Yu Shaoting was sure that Yu Jingxi was safe for now. He threw his cell phone into the empty seat of the passenger seat, turned the steering wheel, and the car suddenly turned around on the road and drove back to the capital of Xingyu.
——————————
Yu Jingxi hung up the phone with Yu Shaoting, her little heart beating wildly, and she twisted around in her seat with some fear.
The train had already passed through three cities, and the aunt sitting next to him told him that Liyang would be reached in just two stations.
Yu Jingxi lowered his head and looked at the cell phone that was in his hand. There were many calls coming in, but there was no Xiaobai's number.
The trolley passed by, and the pretty stewardess shouted: "Is there anyone selling dinner?"
Yu Jingxi's belly growled twice. He had not eaten anything at night in order to pretend to be sick. He turned around and saw an uncle opposite bought a lunch box for thirty-five yuan. Yu Jingxi hesitated for a long time while holding the piggy bank.
He was reluctant to buy it, and he still wanted to use the remaining fifty-three yuan in Liyang.
When he saw the flight attendant coming with the walkie-talkie, he was very nervous. He stuffed his piggy bank and mobile phone into his schoolbag, then ran to the toilet with his big schoolbag on his back, and stayed there for almost ten minutes before he poked his little head out.
After confirming that the flight attendant has left, return to your original seat.
There was a plot in the movie he watched last time where the flight attendant would check the passenger's ticket, and if it didn't exist, he would have to pay for it.
"Kid, did you not buy a ticket?" The passenger next to him couldn't help but tease the child with his darting eyes.
Yu Jingxi was afraid that she would tell the conductor and kick him out of the car. She hummed and said, "My ticket accidentally fell into the toilet just now."
Yu Jingxi wears brand-name clothes. She is prettier than a little girl. Her big round eyes are particularly attractive. Passengers who buy first-class seats are usually already in the workplace and feel pity for this kid who is as big as a brat.
, and immediately someone handed him a piece of chocolate to eat.
"Little brother, is your home Liyang?" A passenger talked to him.
Yu Jingxi picked up the chocolate and ate it with gusto, "No, I live in Fengcheng and went to Liyang to find someone."
"Didn't you just say that your mother is in Liyang?" The passenger next to him quickly discovered the language flaw in Yu Jingxi's words.
Yu Jingxi paused, then quickly added: "I just went to Liyang to find my mother."
Dad said he wanted to marry Xiaobai as his wife, and Xiaobai would be his stepmother from now on. He didn't lie when he said he went to find his mother.
——————————
Bai Xiao didn't know if this was the first time he had sneezed tonight. He sniffed and looked sideways at the gradually brightening sky outside the window.
She had been in the train for fifteen hours.
I thought that after she told the truth, Yu Zhongxiao would drop her off at the station along the way, but not only did he not, he also treated her as a guest and "served" her.
Perhaps because she was a woman, no one else came to sleep in the soft sleeper car all night.
As soon as Bai Xiao folded the quilt, someone knocked on the door gently. It was a little soldier carrying a lunch box. He was the one who gave her the meal last night.
"We will arrive in Liyang in about an hour. The chief asked me to inform you."
Bai Xiao took the lunch box and smiled at him: "I have troubled you these two days."
The little soldier was frightened and immediately blushed. He waved his hands and said no, turned around and ran away.
——————————
After having breakfast and cleaning his lunch box, Bai Xiao looked at the time and stepped out of the soft sleeper car when he felt it was almost time.
Almost as soon as she appeared outside the door, the loud and passionate singing in the carriage disappeared, and everyone in military green looked at her. Bai Xiao's face immediately turned red, but he still walked over and stood in front of her.
Yu Zhongxiao was found in the aisle between the two carriages.
Yu Zhongxiao was leaning against the car door smoking. He was dressed exactly the same as last night. He had a tall and tall figure. His profile was somewhat similar to that of Yu Shaoting. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional. He had the air of a high-ranking person who was not angry and authoritative, but he was not
As fierce and distant as Yu Shaoting.
As if he sensed someone approaching, Yu Zhongxiao turned around and put out the cigarette in his hand when he saw Bai Xiao.
"Why are you out?" He left the car door and stood up straight. Bai Xiao visually estimated that he should be about the same height as Yu Shaoting.
When Yu Zhongxiao looked at her with his eyes that had grown deep over time, Bai Xiao was in a daze for a moment. The image of Yu Shaoting quietly staring at her flashed through her mind. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and opened the door first.
Mouth: "Thank you for giving me a ride back to Liyang."
"Is Miss Bai married?" Yu Zhongxiao suddenly asked.
Bai Xiao looked at him in surprise, but nodded and answered truthfully: "I have been going through divorce procedures recently."
The sound of the train whistle interrupted the conversation, and the speed of the train slowly slowed down. Liyang's train station could already be vaguely seen ahead.
Yu Zhongxiao helped Bai Xiao carry the luggage out of the car. When he put the luggage down, he said to her: "Actually, the mistress still likes you very much."
Before Bai Xiao could chew on the meaning of his words, Yu Zhongxiao had already boarded the train and the train started to leave Liyang Station again.
——————————
When we came out of the train station, it was already bright. The clock on the top floor of the building opposite showed seven o'clock in the morning.
Bai Xiao took a bus with her trolley suitcase and large and small bags, and got off at the urban station. When she was about to transfer to the bus to the town, she remembered that she had dropped her mobile phone, so she went to the business hall next to the station to replace it.
I got a sim card and bought a mobile phone.
As a result, as soon as she inserted the card and turned on the phone, there were countless missed calls and text messages.
Bai Xiao read the text message first. Apart from the advertisement and 10086, there was actually a message in her inbox claiming to be from the Liyang Public Security Bureau. She said that her lost son had been sent to the police station by a kind person, and he hoped that she would go to the police as soon as possible after turning on the phone.
The bureau leader also attached a specific address.
There are many forms of fraud these days. Bai Xiao ignored the text message and then looked through Yu Jingxi's text message.
"Miss, your luggage!" The staff in the business hall hurriedly chased out, but the lady could no longer be found.
Bai Xiao got into the taxi, directly reported the address in the text message, and kept urging the driver to drive faster.
——————————
Bai Xiao hurriedly ran into the police station and heard a crisp voice. He heard the voice and turned around. Sure enough, it was Yu Jingxi!
He was sitting on a small bench, holding a glutinous rice ball stuffed with fried dough sticks and pickled mustard and devouring it. His big schoolbag was placed on the desk next to him.
"Jing Xi!" Bai Xiao gasped and shouted.
Yu Jingxi suddenly looked up, saw Bai Xiao walking in, and immediately threw herself into her arms, rubbing her belly with her little head.
Bai Xiao caught him and hugged him tightly, her heart finally dropped to the ground.
The policewoman who just fed him a cup of water has already spoken: "Are you Bai Xiaoxi's mother?"
Bai Xiaoxi? Bai Xiao lowered his head to look at the child in his arms. His clothes were dirty. He had been hungry for three days and three nights just now when he ate. Yu Jingxi didn't dare to look at her seriously and buried his head in her neck guiltily.
A pair of small fleshy hands grabbed her clothes and refused to let go.
"How do you, a mother, let a child stay at the station in the middle of the night? If a kind-hearted person hadn't seen it and brought it to him, he might have been deceived by human traffickers."
Faced with the accusations from the police comrades, Bai Xiao did not deny it, thanked and apologized, and then led Yu Jingxi out.
——————————
When Bai Xiao came out of the police station, she didn't say a word. Yu Jingxi carefully pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "Xiao Bai, aren't you happy?"
Bai Xiao looked at his innocent expression, but couldn't say anything harsh to reprimand him.
He traveled all the way from Fengcheng to Liyang alone just to see her. He didn't know how much hardship he had suffered on the way. He knew clearly that his behavior would make many people worried, so he wanted to teach him a small lesson, but when he opened his mouth
Only then did I realize that my throat was blocked and I couldn't make a sound.
"Xiao Bai, I need to pee, please wait for me!" Yu Jingxi slipped into the public toilet next to her.
Bai Xiao looked a little distracted looking at his bouncing little figure.
She knew why he said his name was Bai Xiaoxi. He was afraid that he would be sent back to Fengcheng immediately if he said his real name. And from the text messages on her phone, she could read a child's uneasiness after leaving home and getting on the train alone.
, but he hasn’t cried a word to her since they met until now.
Within a few seconds, Yu Jingxi ran out and saw that she was still breathing a sigh of relief and slowed down her pace.
His small jeans were held up haphazardly, causing him to squirm when he walked, and from time to time his little hands would reach behind his buttocks to grab them.
Bai Xiao walked over, knelt down in front of him, and lifted his pants for him again. His soft voice sounded in her ears: "Xiao Bai, I originally thought you wouldn't come."
The voice with a little sigh made Bai Xiao feel sour in her heart. She touched his head and said, "The teacher's mobile phone was stolen. I just replaced the card today. When I turned on the phone and saw your text message, I rushed to the police station.
"
Yu Jingxi suddenly reached out and hugged her neck, and sighed again, "Fortunately you are here, otherwise what would I do?"
He didn't dare to tell Bai Xiao that he got off the high-speed train and sat alone at the station for four or five hours. Later, a wretched uncle came to seduce him. If a kind-hearted uncle hadn't discovered something was wrong, he would have been forcibly taken away by the trafficker.
gone.
He was really scared at the time, and for a second he regretted coming to Liyang to find Xiaobai. But when his uncle asked him the names of his parents, he subconsciously said "Bai Xiao" and also reported Bai Xiao's phone number. In order to prevent
He was sent back to Fengcheng, and even his name was fake.
He is obviously not a good-tempered and patient child, but he can stand quietly next to his uncle and watch him call Xiaobai over and over again. After he was sent to the police station, he did not make any noise and sat obediently while the policewoman aunt gave him some food.
They were put on the small bench for fear of upsetting them and being kicked out.
"Have you informed your father?"
Yu Jingxi hugged her tighter, "Xiaobai, don't send me back. I'll stay and celebrate the New Year with you, okay?"
Hearing this, Bai Xiao knew that he had not contacted the Yu family yet, and she could even imagine the anxious scene there after losing their child.
"Call your dad first." Bai Xiao stroked the back of his head, "otherwise they will be worried."
"No, no, no!" Yu Jingxi squirmed in her arms.
"Then what should we do? I still don't know how they are looking for you now..."
Yu Jingxi didn't give her a chance to continue, shouting: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back, I will stay with you!" His tone was stubborn and aggrieved.
Bai Xiao was silent for a moment, and Yu Jingxi seemed to realize something and nervously clenched the corners of her clothes with his small hands.
"Jing Xi, can you bear to see other people not eating, drinking or sleeping just to find you?" Bai Xiao held his face and looked into his big black eyes, "Otherwise, I'll fight first
Call them and let them know if they want you to stay here..."
"No!" Yu Jingxi tugged on her clothes, with anger and sadness on his face: "You want to lie to me again!"
He didn't forget how Aunt Li and the security guards took him away at the hospital gate last time.
In his mind, she undoubtedly became a child herding sheep.
Bai Xiao looked at the tearful child, who was holding her tightly and not letting go, his face full of resistance and uneasiness about returning to Fengcheng.
If possible, she would also like to have such a child by her side to spend a happy New Year.
When she was sad, Yu Jingxi was like a ray of sunshine shining into her originally dark world, preventing her from being too depressed and losing confidence in life.
And she happened to understand Yu Jingxi's inner loneliness. His experience was like a mirror of her childhood. Although he had a proud family background and was well-fed and well-fed since he was a child, he could not make up for his desire for the title mother. After all, he
He is just a five-year-old child.
It was also for this reason that she was particularly close to him and wanted to do her best to make him less regretful.
But Yu Jingxiruo ran away from home again and again because of her... This was not the result she wanted to see, and the Yu family would not allow it.
"I won't leave! I won't leave!" Yu Jingxi lay in her arms, stamping her feet and tightening her clothes.
Bai Xiao said nothing.
Yu Jingxi kept nudging her with his head, thinking that this would make her soften.
When Bai Xiao took out her phone, Yu Jingxi's eyes widened with fear and disbelief, like a puppy about to be abandoned.
Before Bai Xiao unlocked the door, Yu Jingxi suddenly let go of her and sat on the road, kicking her feet and bursting into tears.
"Mom, don't sell me! I will be obedient from now on. Don't sell me to anyone else!"
The child's deafening cries echoed through the sidewalk, and more and more passers-by gathered over and pointed at Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao couldn't stand the reproachful eyes, so she lowered her head and went over to pick Yu Jingxi up from the ground, "Stop crying."
There were no tears on Yu Jingxi's cheeks, she was just howling just now, but her big eyes were red and her small mouth was pursed, as if she wanted to cry but not cry.
His little arms wrapped around Bai Xiao's neck tightly, and he allowed her to hold him for a while. The little face pressed against her cheek soon became wet. Bai Xiao only felt that there was liquid sliding between her neck, which was hot.
The warmth made her arms tighten.
Silent tears are a very destructive weapon, and they can shake her heart's determination more than Sapo's wailing.
"Xiao Bai, don't drive me away. I will be obedient and listen to you in everything."
The little man, with his little sobs, was a little hope, hoping that she would not send him back to Fengcheng.
——————————
In the end, Bai Xiao did not take Yu Jingxi to the station, but instead entered a large shopping mall in the city center.
When she compared a sweatshirt to him, Yu Jingxi stopped crying and asked uncertainly, "Did you buy it for me?"
"Yes." Bai Xiao responded softly and asked the shopping guide to bring a suit suitable for Yu Jingxi.
Yu Jingxi immediately hugged her thigh and raised her little face, "Xiaobai, you won't drive me away, right?"
Bai Xiao just gave him the clothes and said, "Come in and try it out. Children here have to wear new clothes on the first day of the new year."
Yu Jingxi smiled, her eyes sparkling with black light, and she walked back to the fitting room holding her clothes, but when she reached the door of the fitting room, she ran back and hugged Bai Xiao's neck who was sitting there.
, and pressed his tender lips heavily on her face.
"Xiaobai, I really like you, do you know?"
After whispering in her ear, Yu Jingxi shyly let go of her, took the clothes and quickly ran into the fitting room.
Bai Xiao touched her cheek, which was still warm, and felt warm and soft in her heart.
She sent a text message to Yu Shaoting on her mobile phone. When Yu Jingxi changed clothes and came out, she had already hidden her mobile phone.
When Bai Xiao was adjusting his hood, she found that he was wearing the jacket she bought for him. The collar was already a little dirty, "Why don't you wash it?"
"I like it very much. It's very comfortable to wear," Yu Jingxi scratched his head, "and it's not very dirty."
He had been wearing this warm suit for more than ten days, and Aunt Li reminded him more than once that he should change it, but he just couldn't bear to take it off.
After buying jackets and pants, Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi to buy a set of warm clothes and some shorts.
They went to the mobile business hall to pick up their luggage, and the two of them got on the bus to grandma's house.
As soon as he got in the car, Yu Jingxi looked around. After learning that the child would not be sent back, he returned to his usual happy and eloquent little sparrow appearance. When the car started, Yu Jingxi lay on Bai Xiao's lap and fell asleep, while Bai Xiao touched him.
Her white cheeks sighed silently.
The phone in my pocket has been unresponsive.
Bai Xiao took it out and looked at it many times. Yu Shaoting did not reply. She sent another text message, but still did not get any response.
She looked at Yu Jingxi, who was sleeping and innocent, and tapped his little nose, "Are you sure you are your father's biological child?"
Bai Xiao's hometown is in Shanghu Village. When the bus arrived, Bai Xiao woke up Yu Jingxi and got off the bus carrying large and small bags.
Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi around familiarly, and stopped in front of a courtyard. She knocked on the door and called "Grandma" but no one answered. The red paint-stained door was ajar, and she opened it.
, instructing Yu Jingxi to carry the bag in together.
Grandma still lives in an old house from decades ago. The coal stove in the patio is still boiling water, and the smell of rice still wafts from the kitchen.
Bai Xiao walked around the yard and found that the lights were on in the main room. She went over, opened the door, and saw a black trolley suitcase.
She turned her head and saw a men's cashmere coat draped on the chair beside the table. The familiar style made her heart skip a beat.
