"It's such a cold day, why don't you wear gloves? Look at you, you're frozen to death!"
Yu Jingxi held her hands, breathed hot air into the closed palms, and then rubbed her slightly cold hands.
Heat spread continuously from the thick and soft little hands to the back of her hands.
Bai Xiao looked at the child who was lowering his head and focusing on keeping her warm. He blinked and felt moist at the corners of his eyes.
How long has it been since someone took such good care of her?
"Is it still cold now?"
Yu Jingxi looked up and saw Bai Xiao's red eyes, and immediately said anxiously: "Xiao Bai, what's wrong? Is it frozen?"
His white face was flushed with worry and anxiety.
Bai Xiao knelt down, held his little hand, looked straight into his beautiful eyes, curved the corners of his lips, and said softly: "The teacher is just touched."
Yu Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed: "I thought you were crying!"
"It was very windy at night, so I was a bit confused."
"Then do you want me to blow it for you?"
Bai Xiao squeezed his thick little hand and said with a smile: "It's okay."
The little guy squirmed: "But my grandma said it would be better to blow it."
Bai Xiao heard the disappointment in his voice, and immediately realized that his refusal might have dampened the child's enthusiasm for helping others, so he pretended to be uncomfortable and narrowed his eyes, rubbing it with his hands: "It seems like sand has gotten in again..."
"Really? Then let me blow it for you."
"Okay." Bai Xiao squinted her eyes cooperatively.
Holding her face with his chubby little fingers, Yu Jingxi blew a few breaths and then stepped back: "Okay."
The warm, milky scent brushed across her cheeks, like a soft feather sweeping over her heart. Itchingly, Bai Xiao opened her eyes and looked at the man with big black eyes flashing on his back.
The child smiled: "Jing Xi, thank you."
The little guy scratched his hair and turned away his eyes in embarrassment, his ears slightly red.
"Young Master...Young Master!"
Bai Xiao followed the sound and saw a fat woman running over panting. She was Yu Jingxi's nanny.
"Young Master, why are you running so fast? Aunt Li can't even catch up with you!"
Aunt Li turned her head and noticed the young woman squatting next to Yu Jingxi, and was surprised: "You are..."
Bai Xiao stood up and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Bai Xiao, and I am a teacher at Jingxi Art Center."
"Oh, so you are Teacher Bai!" Aunt Li suddenly realized and smiled kindly: "Our young master often mentions you!"
Although Yu Jingxi returned to China not long ago, he is famous for his naughty and mischievous character, but now at home, he no longer talks about Xu Meimei, and even stops playing with the toys he used to love. He keeps talking about Xiaobai this and that all day long.
Aunt Li passed by Yu Jingxi's room several times and saw him occasionally sitting by the bed with his head hanging down in a daze.
Aunt Li was responsible for taking care of Yu Jingxi, so she was naturally curious about who this Xiaobai was. After asking him many times, she finally pried him open and found out that Xiaobai turned out to be a teacher at his art center.
