Bai Xiao realized that now her and Yu Shaoting's roles towards Jing Xi had changed.
Previously, when she told the old monk what she said, Yu Shaoting responded to her with four words - 'nonsense', but now he himself believed it to be true.
Yu Shaoting doesn't believe in fate, nor do he believe in these ghosts and ghosts, but once a person has concerns and worries about himself, he has to believe in certain things. Even if he guesses that those monks are just accidents, he can't help it.
So it left a grudge in my heart.
Bai Xiao didn't let up. As soon as Yu Shaoting mentioned, "What are you going to do to Jing Xi...", her eyes immediately turned red and she burst into tears before she even said a word.
A week passed, and Bai Xiao paid close attention to Yu Jingxi, fearing that the child would be 'sold' by Yu Shaoting if he was not careful.
Finally one evening, the two had a disagreement over whether to eat braised eggplant in oil or fish-flavored eggplant at night.
Bai Xiao was defeated after two or three sentences. He simply dropped the textbook in his hand and stood up from the sofa: "I have a middle school classmate who just came back from abroad today. I invited some classmates to get together. I will have dinner with them tonight."
Yu Shaoting frowned and looked at her belly: "You have a big belly. If you go there, you will only cause trouble to others."
"There will also be other expectant mothers there, and we can talk about parenting together."
The more Bai Xiao talked about it, the more she longed for the dinner party in the evening. She was no longer angry. She went upstairs and was about to choose a good-looking outfit. As a result, she saw the man following her in the dressing mirror. She glanced at him and went to try on her own clothes.
, he leaned against the door and asked casually, "Who are your classmates?"
"Anyway, you don't know me." Bai Xiao decided to wear a sleeveless yellow dress with thin horizontal stripes, paired with a thin denim shirt with mid-sleeves.
Yu Shaoting stared at the woman wearing a denim shirt in the mirror: "You have two children, and you are still dressed like this. I don't know, I thought you were going on a blind date tonight."
Bai Xiao didn't care much. After putting it on, she tied up her long hair and asked him: "Does it look better if you let it down, or is it better to tie it up like this?"
"..."
Looking at the busy little woman, Yu Shaoting said to her while she was trying on shoes: "If you can't eat anywhere, why are you running so far away?"
Bai Xiao ignored him.
"Don't you want to eat braised eggplant? Just go down and let Aunt Li cook it."
There was a call coming in from the mobile phone placed on the * table. Yu Shaoting glanced at it from the corner of his eyes. Bai Xiao had already gone over to pick it up happily: "Hello?"
Originally, Bai Xiao refused this small class reunion. Now, the other party called and invited her again.
The other party said that he had not seen her for many years and hoped to meet her again.
Bai Xiao heard the other party's clean and gentle tone, and thought that she was dressing up like this to go out, so she agreed to the other party. Anyway, there were many people at the dinner party.
The person on the other end of the phone asked her if she wanted to come pick her up.
"No, I can get a taxi here." Before hanging up the phone, Bai Xiao politely said to him: "See you in the evening."
Putting the phone back on the front desk, Bai Xiao turned around and was startled when she saw the man close at hand: "Why didn't you say anything?"
Yu Shaoting lowered his head and saw her covering her heart and looking pale, especially the way she spoke to him, which was completely different from Wu Nong's soft talk to other men on the phone just now. He immediately felt unhappy, but still asked patiently.
: "Who called?"
"It's that middle school classmate who came back from abroad."
"...Couldn't his surname be Xin?"
When Bai Xiao heard this, he turned to stare at him, thought for a while, and said, "Yu Shaoting, can you speak without being so yin and yang?"
Yu Shaoting: "..."
"They all have cars. I can ask them to give me a ride in the evening. You and Jing Xi should go to bed early after dinner."
"Why didn't I know that you have classmates who are passing by?"
"..."
"Which classmate is coming with you?... I want to ask you something."
——————————
Bai Xiao finally went out to attend a class dinner, but there was a little tail beside her.
Pushing open the fence door, Bai Xiao took two steps, turned around, squatted down, and said to Yu Jingxi, whose forearm was still fixed with a splint: "I don't worry about you going out like this. Otherwise, you wait at home and want to eat."
What, I’ll bring it to you and I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Yu Jingxi was wearing denim suspender shorts, a goose-yellow T-shirt and a pair of round-toe calfskin shoes that Yu Shaoting had chosen for him just now.
Before going out, his father specifically told him to take good care of Xiaobai.
Hearing what Bai Xiao said, Yu Jingxi pursed her lips and shook her head, with a hint of shyness in her expression: "It's okay, I just want to meet your classmates."
"..."
Yu Shaoting originally wanted to send the mother and son there, but Bai Xiao refused verbally and led Yu Jingxi to take a taxi at the gate of the community to the agreed hotel.
…
Bai Xiaozhen arrived at the hotel where the dinner was held, looked at the other classmates, and suddenly felt depressed.
Didn’t you say there were pregnant women?
But she looked around and saw that the other girls were wearing high heels and dressed fashionably and elegantly. No one was like her, married and had a child.
Bai Xiao's marriage to the third young master of the Yu family is no longer a secret in Fengcheng.
So, as soon as she arrived, a female classmate came up immediately, held her hand and chatted with her enthusiastically.
Someone looked curiously at the child who had been following Bai Xiao for a while. He had a mushroom head, neat bangs, big black eyes, and very beautiful facial features. Several classmates had already guessed who this child was, but they still
Out of politeness, he smiled and asked: "Whose child is so beautiful?"
Without Bai Xiao having to speak, Yu Jingxi took a step forward and introduced himself clearly: "My name is Yu Jingxi, and my father is Yu Shaoting."
Children who look good are always lovable.
The female classmates all wanted to shake hands with Yu Jingxi one by one. The little guy refused to accept anyone who came and coaxed them with sweet words, which made them happy.
"Bai Xiao?"
When she heard someone calling her, Bai Xiao turned her head and saw a man wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt. He was in his mid-twenties and had an unusually handsome appearance. At first glance, she didn't recognize who he was, but there was a female classmate next to him who was joking.
Said: "Xin Zi kept asking us why Bai Xiao hasn't come yet."
The man named Xin Zi smiled awkwardly, his neck a little red.
Bai Xiao talked to him on the phone, but when she saw him in person, she still felt that the change was a bit big. When she was in middle school, Xin Zi was in the same club as her.
Speaking of which, Bai Xiao also had a good impression of Xin Zi at that time, but it was only a little good. Now that they meet again, they don't feel too uncomfortable.
"I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to get married." Xin Zi also noticed Bai Xiao's protruding belly.
He was abroad and heard that his brother, Yu Sanshao, whom he had played with since childhood, had remarried. He also knew that the bride's name was Bai Xiao, but he still couldn't bear to see it with his own eyes.
Now that he saw it nearby, he felt disappointed in his heart and looked around: "Why don't you see your husband coming with you?"
"...He has something to do." Bai Xiao pursed her lips and smiled.
Xin Zi nodded and looked at her, a little absent-mindedly. Then, a small head stuck out between the two of them.
Yu Jingxi raised her face, deliberately pushed her way to Xin Zi, and said to Bai Xiao, "Xiao Bai, I drank too much just now and want to go to the toilet."
…
Bai Xiao led Yu Jingxi out of the box. As soon as the door closed, the little guy immediately said, "I don't like the man who just smiled at you."
"..."
Sure enough, Yu Jingxi's excuse to go to the bathroom was just an excuse to not let her talk to Xin Zi.
Yu Jingxi rolled his eyes and hummed: "Actually, I really want to go to the toilet."
…
The little guy went to the men's restroom. Bai Xiao was waiting at the door. With nothing to do, he went to the ladies' restroom next to him and washed his hands.
I wiped my hands with a tissue and was about to leave when I heard two women chatting in the cubicle.
"Why didn't He Wei come out today?"
"She has been busy with her life-long affairs recently. She and Mr. Pei are about to get married. Don't tell me, you don't know yet."
Bai Xiao slowed down when he heard the word 'Pei', and then heard them say: "How did the two of them get together?"
"Isn't this great? He Wei is divorced, and the other one is not much better. They got engaged and then canceled their engagement. I saw He Wei going shopping with her future mother-in-law a few days ago. With He Wei's all-round and exquisite temperament,
Conquering the Pei family is a piece of cake."
The two women continued talking, Bai Xiao had already walked out of the bathroom, and she closed the door.
When Bai Xiao first heard the news, she was a little surprised, but then she felt relieved. Everyone had their own lives. This was the best outcome.
——————————
After the dinner, someone suggested going to KTV to sing. Yu Jingxi grabbed Bai Xiao's hand and said with a sad face: "Xiao Bai, are you going too?"
His soft and waxy voice was not quiet, and it immediately attracted everyone to look at him.
Just as Bai Xiao opened his mouth, he heard Yu Jingxi say again: "But, I just called dad and asked him to pick us up and take us home."
When the little guy said this, the expression on his little face was a little aggrieved and a little nervous, as if he had done something wrong.
Someone immediately said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Then Bai Xiao, you can go back and rest first. Pregnant women have to go to bed early and get up early, which is also good for the child."
Others followed suit and dared to ask her to sing karaoke together.
…
The group of people had activities in the evening and were not in a hurry to leave. They chatted in the box. When Bai Xiao left, Xin Zi offered to take them downstairs.
"After not seeing each other for so many years, I realized that everyone has changed a lot." Xin Zi said with emotion in the elevator.
Bai Xiao smiled, and Xin Zi's eyes fell on her face: "But, Bai Xiao, you don't look much different from when you were in middle school. To be honest, you don't look much different."
"That's just your feeling. Once a person enters this society, it is impossible for him to change."
Xin Zi's eyes became nostalgic: "I still remember that when I was in school, Pei Qiyou blocked me at the back door of the school and asked me to stay away from you." As he said that, he laughed first, "At that time, newborn calves were not afraid.
Tiger, if it were now, he probably wouldn't have the energy to rush forward and fight."
Bai Xiao didn't know that there was such an affair between him and Pei Qiyou. She only knew that at that time, Xin Zi suddenly stopped coming to school and heard that he had gone abroad.
"When people are young, they always don't have enough ability to fight for what they want."
He said and paused: "Pei Qiyou told me at that time that you were his child bride. I didn't take it seriously. I just thought he was arrogant and domineering. Later, my family went through the procedures for me to go abroad, and then... I read some reports
, I probably know what’s going on between you, plus what he told me—”
Bai Xiao said nothing, raised his head, looked at the changing numbers, and waited quietly for the elevator door to open.
Xin Zi said half-jokingly, but looked at her with an extremely serious look: "Bai Xiao, if I hadn't left at that time, do you think we would have..."
"Xin Zi, I have always regarded you as a friend." Bai Xiao intercepted his words. The elevator reached the first floor and the door opened. She turned her head and looked at Xin Zi: "They are still waiting, you go up."
The light reflected from the crystal chandelier in the hotel lobby fell at the feet of the two of them. At this time, few people took the elevator.
Occasionally, a car drove past the door, but it almost didn't stop until there was a harsh sound of brakes.
The sound of tires scraping against the ground broke through the sweet piano music in the hotel, and also attracted curious side glances from the waiters and guests passing by the door.
——————————
Xin Bai rushed forward due to inertia, and he also knew that his braking was too unskilled. However, it was mainly because he was a little frightened when he saw the two people standing face to face in the hotel, and then he lost his footing.
, ah, who are you talking about as a horse...
He turned his head and glanced at the man still sitting calmly in the passenger seat.
Yu Shaoting called him at around nine o'clock, saying that he got a bottle of good wine today, and asked Xin Bai if he wanted it. As a member of the Professional Committee for Collection of Famous Wine, Xin Bai went there happily when he heard that there was a good wine, and the two met.
Before he could change into his slippers, Yu Shaoting had already taken the car keys and walked out.
Yu Shaoting told him that the wine was not at home, but that he had temporarily placed it in the wine cellar of a certain hotel.
Okay, let's go to the hotel together.
When he walked to the Range Rover, Yu Shaoting threw the car keys to him and got into the passenger seat, acting like an old man ordering a book boy.
"Third brother, I'm not used to driving your car. Why don't you take my car?"
Xin Bai originally wanted to say, why don't you open it yourself, but when the words came to his lips, he subconsciously changed to a discussion statement.
Yu Shaoting glanced at him sideways, with a bit of displeasure in his eyes. Yes, Xin Bai felt that tonight's third brother seemed to have a problem with him. Then he heard Yu Shaoting say: "I drank at night, and the traffic police caught me on the road recently.
tight."
Xin Bai wanted to say, are you still afraid of the traffic police? But when the words came to his mouth, he changed to: "Third brother, please fasten your seat belt."
When Yu Shaoting reported the name of the hotel, Xin Bai felt that it was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere just now, but couldn't remember it at the moment.
When we arrived at the hotel entrance, we accidentally saw that scene.
Xin Bai had a very good eye and recognized at a glance that the male protagonist was not his younger brother. He did not dare to say a word, but kept glancing at Yu Shaoting.
Then he suddenly remembered, isn't this hotel the place where that guy Xin Zi invited his classmates to dinner tonight?!
Okay, hit the muzzle.
Yu Shaoting leaned on his seat and looked at the hotel through the car window, but his eyes were calm, not like he was angry, but Xin Bai definitely didn't think he was happy.
"Isn't that sister-in-law? What a coincidence. Third brother, do you want to get off the car?" Xin Bai asked cautiously.
Yu Shaoting picked up a bottle of pure water in the car, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and put it back: "No, we'll get back later."
Unlike Xin Bai's flashing expression, Yu Shaoting felt much more at ease. He seemed to have remembered something, turned around and asked Xin Bai: "Is that your second child?"
Xin Bai nodded, isn't he the second child in my family who always praised the girl named Bai Xiao in their club in front of us for being so smart and beautiful?
The people in the elevator have already come out.
The distance between the two is very safe and there is no suspicion of any ambiguity.
"Get off the car." Yu Shaoting suddenly said.
Xin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the seat belt. Then he heard Yu Shaoting say: "I'll bring that bottle of wine to you tomorrow. You go back first."
Thousands of grass mud horses roared past in my heart——
Xin Bai glanced at the road with no traffic: "Third brother, where can I call a taxi in the middle of the night?"
Yu Shaoting was getting his coat from the back seat. When he heard this, he raised his head and looked at him without saying a word. His deep eyes stared at him. Xin Bai was immediately defeated, thinking that the situation tonight was not good, so he stopped talking.
, said "goodbye" and immediately disappeared without a trace.
