Thank you, but the person who picked me up has already arrived
As soon as Ye Hehuan drove to the door of a Chinese restaurant, Yu Jingxi's call came, and the little guy secretly used his mobile phone again.
The moment he answered the phone, Bai Xiao was considering whether to temporarily confiscate the little guy's cell phone to prevent him from deserting in class.
Yu Jingxi said on the phone that he would have lunch with Bai Xiao in the school cafeteria because he had classes in the afternoon.
"You are completely different now than before." Ye Hehuan said as he turned the car around.
Bai Xiao looked out the car window at a toy store on the roadside. There was a Minion plush toy hanging at the door: "Maybe the mentality is different."
"I think it's because of another man."
"..." Bai Xiao did not deny Ye Hehuan's joke, she just pursed her lips and smiled.
When Bai Xiao arrived at a small door, he saw Yu Jingxi in the car. The little guy was looking around.
The car stopped and Bai Xiao got out of the passenger seat: "Jing Xi!"
The little guy looked over when he heard a familiar voice, suddenly changed his anxious expression, put his little hands behind his back, and walked over: "Here?"
"Is it cold?" Bai Xiao saw that he was not wearing gloves and squatted down, grabbing his little hand and covering it in her palm.
Yu Jingxi hummed calmly.
Ye Hehuan, who had just gotten out of the car, saw his arrogance and laughed: "You haven't grown all your hair yet, why are you pretending to be mature?"
Yu Jingxi glanced at her and said to Bai Xiao calmly: "Go in, there will be almost no food in the cafeteria if it gets later."
Bai Xiao also found that Yu Jingxi was very "serious" today. He was not as lively as usual, but he also didn't look angry and stern. When he led the little guy into the school, he couldn't help but look at him twice. At this glance, he looked at him
There was a way out: "Jing Xi, have you put on your red scarf?"
Ye Hehuan heard the surprise and joy in Bai Xiao's tone. She heard Bai Xiao say that Yu Jingxi's grades seemed to be ranked last in the class.
"How do I remember that only children with good grades and friendly relationships with their classmates can wear the first batch of red scarves? Didn't you buy them at the school gate yourself?"
Yu Jingxi ignored Ye Hehuan's words and asked Bai Xiao: "Would you like to go to the first floor or the second floor? In fact, I prefer the chicken legs on the second floor."
"Okay, let's go to the second floor." Bai Xiao was very prepared, especially after seeing the red scarf.
Bai Xiao could still tell the difference between the red scarves issued in school and those bought outside. She happily lowered her head and kissed Yu Jingxi's cheek.
There were elementary school students passing by and looked over curiously.
Yu Jingxi's pink face flushed with embarrassment, and she wiped the place where Bai Xiao had kissed her: "Why do you kiss so easily, with so many people watching?"
Bai Xiao deliberately kissed him on the other cheek, and then smiled happily, overjoyed.
——————————
There were many children in the cafeteria, lining up neatly and noisily. There was a special place to collect food trays at the door.
Yu Jingxi took out her meal card and ran to the nearby milk tea shop to buy two cups of hot drinks for Bai Xiao and Ye Hehuan, and then went to queue to buy food. Bai Xiao wanted to help with the food, but the little guy refused her righteously.
, almost fifteen minutes later, Yu Jingxi brought two dinner plates over.
Three meats and two vegetables. Yu Jingxi ran back to the window and carefully brought a bowl of radish and pork ribs soup.
Ye Hehuan took a bowl to cook while chatting with Bai Xiao: "Only through this comparison will we know how strong your and Yu Shaoting's genes are!"
Bai Xiao poured a spoonful of rice into her bowl and said, "Then you go and give birth to one too."
Ye Hehuan chuckled twice and stopped talking.
When Yu Jingxi came back with his chopsticks, the three of them had their meal. The little one seemed to be too hot and took off his cotton-padded jacket.
Ye Hehuan's eyes were sharp: "Hey, are you still the squad leader now?"
Bai Xiao looked up, and sure enough, Yu Jingxi wore a "bar" on her left arm, which was beyond her expectation.
I don’t know if it was because he was in a good mood, but after finishing a bowl of rice, Bai Xiao added half a bowl. The three of them came out of the cafeteria after eating. Bai Xiao kept holding Yu Jingxi’s little hand, and met the little guy’s classmate Wu Liaoming halfway.
The little fat man didn't come over and waved to Yu Jingxi from a distance.
"I'll go over there." Yu Jingxi let go of Bai Xiao's hand and ran away without a trace.
——————————
Yu Jingxi ran to Wu Liaoming, looked back, and pulled Wu Liaoming into a corner.
Wu Liaoming: "Yu Jingxi, when will you use your red scarf and a bar?"
While Yu Jingxi was paying attention to whether Bai Xiao would come outside, he asked casually: "What are you doing?"
"Wang Mingming and He Siyuan asked me to come over and get it. They said that Teacher Yu just asked them why they didn't wear red scarves and follow the same banner."
"Didn't you treat them to soda?"
Wu Liaoming scratched the back of his head: "They were afraid of being discovered by Teacher Yu, so they said they would pay you back the soda money later."
Yu Jingxi: "..."
——————————
As soon as Yu Jingxi ran away, Bai Xiao's cell phone rang. It was Yu Shaoting's call.
Bai Xiao glanced at Ye Hehuan, who turned his back very wisely and took a few steps to the side.
"have already eaten?"
Bai Xiao knew it was nothing serious after hearing his opening remarks, so he hummed, "What about you? Have you eaten?"
"Where are you now?" He asked without answering.
Bai Xiao looked at the surrounding trees and said, "What happened to Jing Xi's school?"
"Wait there, I'll pick you up."
"Is something wrong?"
"...Can't I pick you up if I have nothing to do?"
Bai Xiao was not used to his eagerness: "Don't bother me. He Huan is here. She will take me to the company."
"..."
Seeing that he remained silent, Bai Xiao was not in a hurry to continue speaking.
"Then wait for me at the gate of Hongyuan after get off work in the evening."
Bai Xiao thought about the fact that she had to work overtime today: "I might work overtime. If you get off work early, you can pick Jing Xi back."
Yu Shaoting stopped talking again.
"I don't know until what time I will work overtime. I'll take a taxi back then," Bai Xiao said, adding: "Don't worry."
Yu Shaoting didn't say yes or not.
"...Is something wrong with you?" Yu Shaoting is rarely so persistent.
After a long while, Yu Shaoting said: "No, let's have dinner and go back to Hongyuan to work." Although he said this, he did not hang up.
Bai Xiao held the phone, as if compromising: "I'll call you before the overtime ends."
The man on the other end of the phone hung up.
——————————
After sending Yu Jingxi back to the classroom, Bai Xiao left with Ye Hehuan.
The red sports car drove past the guard room, and the security guard inside praised it: "The children studying here are really rich, and their parents all drive Audi sports cars."
"Is this enough money? There was a Bentley Continental parked in front of the school just now!"
Bai Xiao could vaguely hear the words "Bentley Continental" through the half-lowered car window.
The car drove away a little while, Bai Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat, but she was a little absent-minded. The words of the security guards just now made her heart tighten.
She couldn't help but turn her head and look back, trying to find something at the small door.
"What's wrong?" Ye Hehuan noticed Bai Xiao's abnormal mood.
Bai Xiao retracted her gaze, reached into her bag, and touched her cell phone. She was silent for a moment, but the expression on her face betrayed her.
"In that case, why didn't you let him pick you up just now?" Ye Hehuan more or less guessed the content of Yu Shaoting's phone call.
When she said this, the emotions that had been hidden deep in her heart were triggered. When she arrived at Hongyuan and got off the car, Bai Xiao made a call to Yu Shaoting.
"Is something wrong?" Yu Shaoting's deep and powerful voice came out.
Bai Xiao hesitated and asked, "Did you go to a primary school just now?"
There was silence for a moment before Yu Shaoting said: "No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking. You're busy." After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiao took a breath before pushing the revolving door into the company.
——————————
Bai Xiao took the elevator upstairs. The elevator stopped halfway, the door opened, and he was quite surprised to see Pei Qiyou and Mr. Hongyuan.
Back in the department, Bai Xiao inquired with the colleagues next to her and learned that Pei and Hongyuan were collaborating on a project recently.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Pei Qiyou appeared in Hongyuan.
In the afternoon, the department manager asked Bai Xiao to print out some documents and send them to the conference room. Pei Qiyou was also there. Bai Xiao put down the documents and went out without looking back.
——————————
Bai Xiao felt that she was not in a good mood all afternoon. On the one hand, it was because she met Pei Qiyou again and again, and on the other hand——
She kept thinking about the security guard's words, "How about money now? There was a Bentley Continental parked in front of the school just now!", even though Yu Shaoting denied it to her.
In the evening, the news about overtime work came down accurately, and there was a lot of mourning in the office area, but everyone still immersed themselves in work.
Bai Xiao's work was relatively free. At eight o'clock in the evening, she received a call from Yu Shaoting: "Aren't you finished yet?"
"Hmm." She was sorting out the copied documents and holding her cell phone over her shoulder as she spoke: "It should take more than half an hour."
After the call, Bai Xiao checked his empty stomach and drank half a glass of boiled water.
An hour later, Bai Xiao put down her phone and sent a text message to Yu Shaoting: "There are a lot of things. I don't know when it will be better. You should go to bed early."
I got a quick reply, just one word: "Yeah."
I don't know if it was because she was no longer worried, but Bai Xiao was more dedicated to her work, and she didn't finish her overtime work until almost ten o'clock.
Going downstairs with her colleagues, as soon as the elevator opened, Bai Xiao paused in her steps when passing by the lobby, and saw the familiar figure.
"Bai Xiao, let's walk together. I'll give you a ride along the way." A colleague said kindly.
Bai Xiao smiled, her voice a little soft: "Thank you, but... the person who picked me up has already arrived."
"where?"
Bai Xiao turned around and saw that Yu Shaoting was standing in front of an architectural sandbox model, looking down with a focused expression.
After saying goodbye to her colleague, she walked over, her steps deliberately slow, but he still sensed her and turned around when she was almost behind him.
After being discovered, Bai Xiao stopped being cautious: "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?"
Yu Shaoting came over: "Go to eat first or go home and let Aunt Li do it?"
"When did you come here?" Bai Xiao asked, looking at his clear brows.
Yu Shaoting didn't answer, but just took her hand, wrapping her cold little hand in his warm palm: "Get out."
——————————
Yu Shaoting's car was parked on the roadside outside the company.
Just as Bai Xiao and him went out, the passenger window slowly lowered and a little head poked out: "Bai Xiao, hurry up and get in the car!"
When Bai Xiao was about to walk to the car, Yu Jingxi got down from the passenger seat, took the bag from her hand, and then climbed into the back seat without closing the door. The meaning was self-evident.
Bai Xiao was sitting in the back seat with Yu Jingxi. There was a strong smell of snacks in the car. She asked, "Didn't you have dinner?"
"Isn't it you?" Yu Jingxi looked at her sadly: "You said half an hour, how many and a half hours is it now?"
When he said this, his little body leaned into Bai Xiao's arms.
Bai Xiao hugged him and touched his round belly: "It seems to be smaller."
Yu Jingxi heard that she was making fun of him, and with a groan, he took Bai Xiao's hand and took a bite in retaliation.
Bai Xiao looked up at the man driving in front of him, and could only see his forehead in the rearview mirror. He felt at ease and held the child in his hands tightly.
——————————
The three of them had dinner at a hot pot restaurant.
Yu Jingxi ate until her belly bulged and her mouth was red. After eating and drinking, she lay down on Bai Xiao's lap and fell asleep.
The car drove for a while and suddenly stopped. Yu Shaoting looked at her in the rearview mirror and said nothing.
Bai Xiao seemed to have read his hint and carefully put Yu Jingxi into the back seat, got out of the car, opened the passenger door and got in.
The Bentley Continental reenters traffic.
Bai Xiao turned his head and said: "Don't do this next time. Being hungry for too long will do great harm to the stomach, whether it is an adult or a child..."
He looked at the road, but reached out and grasped her little hand on his knee, holding it firmly in his palm.
Bai Xiao lowered his head and looked at the two people's overlapping hands, then looked at him: "Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah." He responded.
Bai Xiao looked out the window, but her lips curved upward, and she couldn't help but shake his big hand.
——————————
Back in Qinyuan, Bai Xiao got out of the car with Yu Jingxi in her arms. When he entered the house and saw Mrs. Yu sitting in the living room chatting, she was surprised and happy: "Grandma?!"
The old man turned his head when he heard the sound, saw the "family of three" coming in, and smiled lovingly: "You're back?"
"Mistress, didn't you tell Xiaoxiao that you asked Secretary Jing to pick up grandma?" Mrs. Yu was surprised.
Yu Jingxi had already woken up on Bai Xiao's shoulder. She rubbed her eyes with her little fingers. When she saw the old man in the living room, she shouted happily: "Grandma!" She slid off Bai Xiao's body and ran to the sofa, next to her grandmother: "Grandma, you are coming.
Why don't you tell me, or I will pick you up."
"Little flatterer!" Old Mrs. Yu laughed and scolded: "Why don't I see you being so affectionate to grandma?"
