I knew I couldn't expect to hear anything nice from this man!
Bai Xiao looked at Yu Shaoting's arbitrary appearance, his hands were tightly clenched, some words had been brewing for a long time, and after thinking about it, he finally said them out: "What I said that afternoon was not a joke, nor was it a play to get, maybe you are right now
I have a good impression, but I believe it is only temporary."
Bai Xiao still couldn't face what happened in the hospital that afternoon calmly. Although she tried hard to calm down, her eyes still flickered: "No matter what aspect, we are not suitable."
"You're still going to have sex with me if it's not suitable?" Yu Shaoting refuted with just a few words, leaving Bai Xiao speechless.
His clear and gloomy face softened slightly when he saw her slightly red cheeks, and he pinched the slender fingers held by him with his big hand: "We are still waiting for salt to cook at home."
Bai Xiao didn't expect that he would use the excuse she just made randomly as a way to manipulate her, and seeing that he turned a deaf ear to her words, there were already people over there gossiping about them, talking and laughing, and she refused to leave, "You don't want to
Misinterpret my meaning, I thought we made it clear enough."
"What did we say?" Yu Shaoting's voice returned to its previous coldness, but what he said seemed to be pretending to be stupid.
Bai Xiao changed the subject: "In short, we are not suitable. There is really no need for you to spend too much energy on me."
Yu Shaoting stared at the slightly invisible fuzz on her ears with heavy eyes, "If you are not suitable for me, then who are you suitable for?"
Bai Xiao said nothing.
"Can the man on the roadside just now greet you with his rice bowl and smile like an idiot, or the old bachelor next door to your house who hasn't showered in months and has bald hair? Can you make do with it?"
Bai Xiao suddenly felt that Yu Shaoting was a little unreasonable, but he still had a cold face, saying that he was right and serious, but in fact they were just strong words.
Yu Shaoting looked at her "admittance" attitude with lowered eyelashes and said nothing, and her tone was not as strong as before: "You are such a big person, why are you still acting like a child like Jing Xi? If someone who doesn't know sees it,
You thought I was bullying you."
Aren't you just bullying me?
Bai Xiao was angry in her heart, but she said calmly on her face: "I don't want to talk to you, please let me go."
Yu Shaoting was not angry anymore: "I've been wasting my breath after telling you so much, haven't I?" He had a troubled expression on his face.
He had never coaxed a woman before, nor had he spoken sweet words before. It was rare for him to lower his body and speak softly to Bai Xiao, but she still had such an attitude.
It's a woman like her who tries to push herself beyond the limits.
Bai Xiao looked at the stormy look on his face and retorted: "If you don't like it, just leave. No one will keep you."
Yu Shaoting's face completely darkened, and then he really let go of her hand, turned around and walked away without stopping for a moment. Not long after, Bai Xiao saw a Bentley Continental driving past her. It was fleeting and very short.
The shadow soon disappeared, and she realized that he had parked the car in the open space here.
————————
As soon as Bai Xiao stepped into the yard, her grandmother took a shovel and leaned out of the kitchen: "Bring the salt in quickly."
When she found that Bai Xiao had empty hands, her grandmother looked behind her again: "Where is Xiao Shao? Why didn't I come back with you?"
"He went back." Bai Xiao said, turned around and went out again, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going to buy salt."
Grandma looked at her like this and didn't say much, she just sighed helplessly.
Bai Xiao bought a bag of fine salt, and as soon as she arrived at her door, she was stopped by someone.
——It was the man Yu Shaoting mentioned squatting on the roadside, holding his rice bowl, looking at Bai Xiao and smiling like a fool.
Bai Xiao had some vague impressions of Liu Qixing. They played together when she was a child. Later, when she went to Pei's house, she became estranged from her childhood playmates. In the past few times when she came back, she could see him every time, or
Bai Xiao smiled shyly at her from afar or close, and Bai Xiao guessed that he might like her.
"Brother Qixing, what's wrong with you?" Bai Xiao stopped and turned to look at him.
Liu Qixing scratched his head and held a large handful of vegetables in his left hand: "They are all grown at home. My mother asked me to send some to your house."
Bai Xiao didn't mind it being dirty and took it directly, "Brother Qixing, come in and sit for a while!"
"No, no!" Liu Qixing waved his hands. In fact, he wanted to deliver these vegetables himself. He kept glancing into the yard, "Your husband is out? You have a son. Why don't you see him coming out to play? There are many in the village now.
People are saying that you are so lucky to have married a good husband."
Although Liu Qixing said this with envy, he did not conceal his sourness. Bai Xiao was the wife he had fallen in love with even after wearing crotchless pants, but in the end, he got an advantage over others. He had actually been secretly paying attention to the "couple" going to the supermarket just now, and he also saw the two of them.
After a disagreement, the man drove away.
"I saw it just now." Liu Qixing paid attention to Bai Xiao's face, "Aren't all the rich families in the city so bad-tempered?"
Bai Xiao: "...he is not my husband."
Liu Qixing was stunned for a moment, unable to turn his head around. He pointed to the yard and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, "Then...that child..."
"They are my students, and their father and son came here to celebrate the Chinese New Year."
"What about your husband?" Liu Qixing has never forgotten this crucial question, his heart was beating loudly, he was excited and nervous at the same time.
Bai Xiao knew that he was an honest person, so that's why she talked so much, but there were some topics that she didn't want to talk too much about. Just when she was about to find an excuse to go into the house, a "beep" car horn sounded, and Bai Xiao
Xiao and Liu Qixing turned their heads at the same time, and a beach-gold Continental Bentley had parked in front of the door.
Yu Shaoting got out of the car, with a straight face and the car keys in his hand, and went straight into the yard without looking at them.
Liu Qixing: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you take your grandma to my house for dinner tonight? Let's have a good time together."
"No, there are guests at home." Bai Xiao declined.
"They are staying at your house to celebrate the New Year freshly, and just let them cook their own meals."
Bai Xiao: "I still won't go. Thank you for the food. Come and sit at home when you have time. You'd better go back and eat early."
Liu Qixing stretched her neck and looked into the yard again, "Xiaoxiao, I'm thirsty. Can I go in and have a cup of tea?"
"I may not have boiled water at home. If you are thirsty, go home quickly. It's only a few steps away anyway."
After hearing this, Liu Qixing looked at Bai Xiao seriously, "Xiao Xiao, tell me honestly, what does the man who came in just now have to do with you?"
Bai Xiao frowned: "Didn't I just say that? I am the parent of one of my students."
"Then as soon as he comes in, you rush me out? It's like..." A wife is caught stealing from a man by her husband.
Liu Qixing looked at her seriously, "Do you like him?"
——————————
Yu Shaoting entered the courtyard with a long face. He walked around outside for a while and came back. The anger that he had finally suppressed started to rise again.
I lost my car keys and drank a glass of cold water but it didn't go away. On the other hand, Yu Jingxi came out of the kitchen rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Dad, where is Xiaobai? Grandma said she went to buy salt, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Yu Shaoting put the cup on the table: "I was chatting and laughing with a man at the door. I guess I'm in love with him."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Jingxi had already disappeared, and even the dustpan by the kitchen door was gone.
——————————
When Yu Jingxi rushed out of the yard holding a dustpan, Liu Qixing had already left, leaving only Bai Xiao standing at the door carrying a bundle of vegetables.
"Jingxi?" Bai Xiao turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw a disheveled Yu Jingxi running out menacingly.
He was wearing the minion suit to keep warm*, with a down jacket on the outside, and her cotton mops on his feet. His mushroom hair was messy, and his belly was quite firm. Bai Xiao glanced at the dustpan in his little chubby hand, which looked a bit...
...obscene.
Yu Jingxi looked left and right and didn't see the "wild man" in his father's words, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Xiao grabbed the dustpan, zipped up his coat and picked him up: "It's windy outside, go back inside and put on your clothes."
Yu Jingxi noticed the vegetables in her hand, tilted his head and asked her: "Xiaobai, have you gone shopping for vegetables?"
"This was given to me by my former playmate in the village."
"Is he a man?"
Bai Xiao didn't think too much and nodded: "Yes, his family also has a strawberry greenhouse. I will take you to pick strawberries in a few days."
Yu Jingxi curled her lips, then put a big smile on her face and hugged Bai Xiao's neck, "Okay, okay, I love eating strawberries the most."
——————————
Bai Xiao wanted to carry Yu Jingxi back to the room, but the little guy clamored to watch TV, so she had to carry him to the main room.
Yu Shaoting sat inside and watched TV without even looking at her. He used the remote control to adjust the channel.
After Bai Xiao left, Yu Jingxi immediately slid off the stool, ran to the yard, picked up the bundle of vegetables, and ran out of the yard.
Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi's clothes out of the room and saw him coming in from the outside with a piece of mud on his down jacket.
"What are you doing out there?" Bai Xiao dusted off his down jacket and led him back to the main room.
Yu Jingxi moved on the stool and said guiltily: "Pee." Then he glanced at Yu Shaoting and felt relieved when he saw that he had not exposed her.
——————————
As the sun set in the evening, the sound of firecrackers came from outside the yard, and children kept running around carrying a bunch of firecrackers.
When Bai Xiao came back from taking out the trash, she saw Yu Jingxi lying at the door, looking at the children curiously, but not daring to step out.
"Want to play with them?"
Yu Jingxi pursed her lips, straightened her body, and said harshly: "How can I play with these things? They're too dirty!"
As he said this, he also made a small expression of disgust in cooperation.
Bai Xiao found that the vegetables she had placed on the ground in the yard were missing. She asked her grandmother who was cooking, but she didn't see them either.
"It's strange...could it be taken away by a dog?" Many families in the village have dogs, and they like to pick up things randomly.
Yu Jingxi, who was following her, shrank his neck and took the initiative to take the trash can from Bai Xiao's hand: "Xiao Bai, let me put it away for you."
Grandma happened to be cooking in the kitchen and called her to light the fire.
Sitting on the small bench behind the stove, Bai Xiao added some firewood and heard her grandma say: "There is still a bottle of wine at home. You can bring it to the table later."
The old man did not show any surprise at Yu Shaoting's departure and return, and seemed to have expected it.
"By the way, what kind of drink does Jingxi like to drink? You can go to the supermarket to buy some."
Although grandma was busy and didn't take much rest all afternoon, she was not impatient at all. Instead, she was very happy: "The house has not been so lively for a long time!"
Bai Xiao looked at the thin and slightly stooped old man with a sore nose, "Then I will stay with you from now on."
Grandma laughed and did not respond, but urged her to go to the supermarket quickly.
——————————
When Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi to the supermarket to buy drinks, Yu Shaoting put down the remote control and entered the kitchen.
The old man seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. While serving the dishes, he said: "You came from Fengcheng, and there is nothing delicious to entertain you at home..."
Yu Shaoting took the initiative to take the plate. The old man looked at him and let go.
Grandma stopped cooking, wiped her hands with her apron, and looked at him with a rare serious look, "Xiao Shao, do you really like my Xiaoxiao?"
Yu Shaoting did not answer immediately.
"She has already suffered once, and I don't want to see her suffer again. She told me that the conditions in your family are even better than the Pei family. If you are really together, your family will not accept her divorce.
, the resistance must be very strong, just tell me how determined you are, old man?"
——————————
It was the first time for Yu Jingxi to come to the countryside, and he was curious about everything. He looked around here and there along the way. Because he was pretty, and he heard Bai Xiao's words and yelled at everyone, so after walking from home to the supermarket, he stepped into
When I entered the courtyard, my arms were full of various snacks and a small bag of firecrackers.
The little guy even hooked up with a few kids on the road, and now they all followed him to play at home.
Bai Xiao felt something strange as soon as he got home, but he couldn't tell the difference. Grandma was still cooking. As for Yu Shaoting... he was coming out of the main house.
As soon as Yu Jingxi saw Yu Shaoting, she rushed towards him and hugged his long legs: "Dad, help me open the car door. I want to get the toys."
The children who were originally chattering and noisy all calmed down tacitly when they saw Yu Shaoting.
When Yu Shaoting's eyes passed over them, the group of children all showed timid expressions, not daring to be presumptuous in front of him.
Yu Jingxi raised her little face and explained proudly: "I just met them, and they want to see my toys."
Yu Shaoting's eyes moved to Bai Xiao's face. She lowered her head and entered the room carrying a bag of drinks.
Seeing that her father was silent, Yu Jingxi thought that he was not willing to go outside and open the car, which would make her unable to hold her head up in front of these children, so she carefully pulled Yu Shaoting's trousers and whispered: "Dad, I promise not to
Let’s get the car dirty and just take the toys, okay?”
Yu Shaoting glanced at him sideways, then turned around and went to Bai Xiao's room. When he came out again, he had a car key in his hand.
Yu Jingxi made a gesture in his mind excitedly, then put his two small hands behind his back, and followed Yu Shaoting out in a feigned manner.
——————————
By the time Bai Xiao brought the plates of food to the table, Yu Jingxi was already having a great time playing in the yard with the other children.
As the sky darkened, other children were called home one after another by their parents. Yu Jingxi hadn't finished playing yet, so she asked them to set off fireworks together after dinner.
Bai Xiao didn't understand what he meant at first, but then he caught a glimpse of a lot of fireworks in a corner of the yard.
"Dad bought it," Yu Jingxi said happily, smiling and frowning, "I chose this, this, and that."
Speaking of Yu Shaoting, Bai Xiao realized that he was not at home. After washing Yu Jingxi's hands and taking him to the table, he saw Yu Shaoting coming in from outside.
When he passed by the door of the main house, Bai Xiao smelled the faint smell of tobacco on his body, which was very fresh. He must have been smoking just now.
The two of them had an argument on the way back from the supermarket and haven't said a word since.
Grandma asked Yu Shaoting to sit down with chopsticks, and asked Bai Xiao to go to the kitchen to get some wine.
When the wine was brought, a strange smell wafted out as soon as it was opened. It was obviously broken. Then grandma remembered: "I seem to have opened this bottle of wine last time."
Bai Xiao was fine, but grandma showed a regretful expression: "There are guests here today...Xiao Xiao, go to the supermarket and buy a bottle."
Bai Xiao has already gone to the supermarket many times today, and now she is not willing to go again.
But Yu Shaoting suddenly said: "No need to buy it, I have wine in the car that my friend gave me last time. I'll get it." After saying that, he got up and went out.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but look at him a few more times, feeling a little unaccustomed to him being so attentive.
Several bottles of exquisitely packaged wine lay quietly in the trunk. Yu Shaoting directly selected a bottle of rum with beautiful color, sweet taste and great staying power.
Returning to the dinner table, he handed over the wine without changing his expression, "This is the only bottle of wine in the car, so just drink it."
