Looking at the pair of golden boys and girls sitting in front of the bed, grandma smiled and frowned.
After a while, the old man remembered something and said to Bai Xiao, "I want to drink porridge. Go downstairs and buy me some."
"Okay," Bai Xiao subconsciously looked at Yu Shaoting as he stood up.
"Let Qiyou chat with me here. For a guy like you, you won't buy something and ask him to run errands, right?"
Bai Xiao was really worried about leaving the two of them alone, so she lingered by the bedside and refused to leave.
"There is Jia Yonghe Doujiu on the left side of the hospital." Yu Shaoting looked at her with his dark eyes.
Just as Bai Xiao understood what he meant, he had already handed over his black wallet: "I'll buy some daily necessities on the way."
His tone was so natural that Bai Xiao was fooled into thinking that they were really an old married couple who lived harmoniously and had a tacit understanding.
There was no show of politeness on Yu Shaotingjun's face. He seemed relieved to hand over his wealth to her, and his deep eyes made her believe him for no reason. Bai Xiao turned around and took his wallet from the sofa and followed him.
cell phone.
"I have some change, so you can chat with grandma for a while." When he walked to the door, Bai Xiao was still a little worried and did not forget to turn around and tell Yu Shaoting: "Call me if you need anything."
Yu Jingxi had entered the number on her mobile phone before, and Bai Xiao vaguely guessed that it should be Yu Shaoting's number.
When the door of the ward closed and Bai Xiao walked away, grandma lost her kind smile and looked at the man sitting on the chair next to her. Although her eyes were kind, she said with melancholy: "I pushed Xiao Xiao away on purpose.
Did you see it too?"
Yu Shaoting looked up at the gray-haired old man, acquiescing to her guess.
…
Bai Xiao walked halfway and realized that there was only a ten-dollar note in her wallet.
When she was tinkering with the bag before, she messed up the contents and scattered all the money inside the bag.
I went back to get the money. As soon as I walked to the door of the ward, I heard my grandmother's voice coming from inside: "Although I am old, I am still not confused. That stupid kid kept it secret from me so as not to worry me. You
Is what happened with Lily true?"
Bai Xiao's heart skipped a beat, fearing that the old man wouldn't be able to bear it and would get sick. She pressed the doorknob with her hand and planned to push the door in to explain, but the voice that rang out next made her stop.
"When her aunt called to tell her about this, I really didn't expect it."
The ward suddenly became quiet, and then the old man's voice sounded again: "Xiaoxiao has been at Pei's house since she was four years old. I'm afraid it has caused you a lot of inconvenience over the years, right?"
"Xiaoxiao... she lost her parents when she was a child. Later, she encountered an accident and was brought to Fengcheng by Master Pei. I was not here, and no one was around to wake her up when she did something wrong. But she has always been a good child, and she followed
When her grandpa and I lived together, she was very young and didn't worry us at all, but she was not as happy as other children of the same age."
Bai Xiao stood by the door, feeling choked after hearing these words. She gently turned the doorknob and looked in through the crack in the door.
Grandma held Yu Shaoting's hand and prayed in her eyes: "So, if there is anything she doesn't do well, you can ask her to change it. Grandma hopes you won't tell her that you want to separate easily."
Bai Xiao felt a pain in her heart when she saw the old man's cautious appearance. He closed the door and leaned against the wall.
…
Bai Xiao came back from buying breakfast and found an extra laptop on the sofa.
"You're back? Qiyou's secretary has just arrived and brought a computer and some documents."
Grandma was half-lying on her head, with a high pillow on her back. Bai Xiao estimated that there should be four or five pillows.
The old man followed Bai Xiao's line of sight and looked at the pillows, and immediately smiled: "Qiyou was afraid that my waist would be uncomfortable if I rocked the *, so I went to the nurse's station and asked for two pillows."
Yu Shaoting's temperament is cold, and he usually gives people a sense of aloofness and alienation. To put it simply, he has the kind of temper that can't be beaten with three sticks. Bai Xiao can't imagine him begging for a pillow from a young woman with a straight face.
.
But just thinking about the way he frowned when he saw the nurse's admiring eyes, Bai Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Yu Shaoting's dark eyes came out of it and met her with a crooked smile.
Beautiful eyes.
Bai Xiao didn't have time to put away her smile and turned her eyes away awkwardly, but noticed that he was holding a small plate.
There were apple chunks on the plate, peeled, and each piece was cut very smoothly, just like Yu Shaoting's first impression.
Sober, rigid, meticulous yet refined.
His hands are very slender and beautiful. Because of Bai Xi's skin color, they are more like exquisite works of art. Bai Xiao feels that they are not too far behind those hand models who shoot close-up advertisements. At this moment, they are used to peel apples.
A waste of natural resources.
Yu Shaoting walked past her, put the plate on the cabinet, then returned to the sofa and sat down to handle business.
Even though he didn't say a word, the little details he made made people even more heartwarming.
Bai Xiao looked at her grandmother, and sure enough, the sick look on the old man's face had long been replaced by a cheerful smile.
Yu Shaoting's suit was unbuttoned, and the white shirt underneath was also unbuttoned. Maybe he was too tall. Sitting on the sofa, he leaned slightly and looked at the laptop screen intently, pursed his thin lips, and looked very calm.
It's no different than when I was in the office.
In fact, he could go back to work in the company now, but Bai Xiao was inexplicably unable to say so.
Even she didn't understand it. Looking at him sitting there, she found that she felt surprisingly at ease.
Just like last night outside the emergency room, he sat next to her. She was not panicked at all while she was waiting. She was so calm, as if she was not waiting for her grandma to be pulled back from the edge of life and death, but waiting for a health check-up.
of old people.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing standing around like this? Qiyou came here so early in the morning. You probably haven't had breakfast yet. Give him some breakfast."
"……good."
Bai Xiao thought that an aloof man like Yu Shaoting would disdain eating this kind of breakfast, so he only gave him a cup of soy milk.
Yu Shaoting looked up from his notebook and looked at her quietly, but did not reach out to take it.
"It's salty, no sugar added." Bai Xiao explained subconsciously.
In fact, she didn't know his taste preferences, so she just asked the waiter to bring him salty soy milk based on her feeling.
He raised his hand, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional. When Yu Shaoting held the paper cup, his index finger happened to cover her index finger. Bai Xiao quickly withdrew his hand. She did not look at him and turned around.
*While making breakfast for grandma.
But her heartbeat was no longer as peaceful as before.
"Meatball, slow down!" A child's crisp voice suddenly came from the outer corridor.
The familiar child's voice made Bai Xiao's heart tense. She asked Yu Shaoting to forget his other identity when he pretended to be her husband.
If a child sees Yu Shaoting and calls out "Daddy", it might be revealed immediately.
Bai Xiao trotted to stop Yu Jingxi from coming in, but as soon as she walked around the hospital door, the door opened.
Yu Jingxi's cute head poked in, and a silly bulldog's head also poked in. The movements were surprisingly harmonious.
He held the doorknob with his little fleshy hand, stood on tiptoe and looked around. When he saw Bai Xiao, he rushed in happily: "Xiao Bai, look what breakfast I brought for grandma!"
Bai Xiao lowered his head and saw the child carrying a small cake box in his hand.
"Is it a cake?" Bai Xiao asked while blocking Yu Jingxi's view.
Yu Jingxi nodded heavily: "I specially prepared it for grandma last night."
Every time the child did something, he would add the word "dedicated", and Bai Xiao knew that he was waiting for his praise. But today, Bai Xiao couldn't care less about praising him for his carefulness and ability, and was preoccupied with thinking about how to get rid of him first.
"Jingxi, haven't you had breakfast yet? Can the teacher take you down to buy some?"
Bai Xiao took the child's hand and was about to lead him to the door, but the old man on the bed obviously heard the child's words and sat up. A somewhat surprised voice came: "Is this a cake specially made for me?"
Bai Xiao secretly thought it was not good, and sure enough, Yu Jingxi had let go of her hand and ran to the bedside carrying the cake.
"Well, grandma, do you want to try it? I also asked Aunt Li to prepare a small plate and knife and fork..."
The "Meatball" who was following him suddenly started barking, still barking in high spirits.
"Rouwan, can't you just be quiet for a while?"
While Yu Jingxi was clumsily opening the cake box with her two chubby hands, she complained and looked in the direction of the call of "Meat Ball". When she met those familiar black eyes, she was stunned and instinctively blurted out: "Dad
…”
"Jingxi, did your father send you here?" Bai Xiao intercepted Yu Jingxi's words in time.
"No..." Yu Jingxi blinked to make sure that he had read it correctly. Who else could this man sitting on the sofa, looking calm and calm, be his father? With their relationship of father and son falling in love and killing each other, he turned into ashes.
I recognize it too!
Bai Xiao saw Yu Jingxi's little finger pointing at Yu Shaoting and opening her tender lips to say something. She hurriedly knelt down and held his soft fingers, "Why did you come so suddenly and didn't even call the teacher?"
Yu Jingxi looked confused, why was his father in Grandma Xiaobai's ward?
"Is this your student?" The person on the sofa finally stood up and came over.
Yu Shaoting put his hands into his trouser pockets and looked down at Yu Jingxi who was being hugged by Bai Xiao. With his calm tone and flat eyes, it was as if he really didn't recognize the child in front of him.
"Xiao Xi, this is your teacher Bai's husband, Uncle Pei." The grandmother on the side reminded kindly.
Yu Jingxi turned to look at Bai Xiao and then at Yu Shaoting. When Bai Xiao was frightened and thought that he would betray the gang, the little guy lowered his head silently. Although he didn't speak, Bai Xiao could clearly feel the change in the little guy's mood.
Grandma stretched out her hand to Yu Jingxi: "Come, Xiaoxi, come to grandma."
"Grandma, let me take Jing Xi to buy some food first." Bai Xiao wanted to go out and explain clearly to the little guy.
"Didn't you just buy breakfast? Since Xiaoxi made a cake for me, let's give him breakfast."
Children who mature early have the advantage of maturing early. Children like Yu Jingxi, after turning his smart head in a circle, he knew the little tricks played by his father and Xiaobai. Although a small flame called anger rose in his heart, he did not explode on the spot.
.
Yu Jingxi ran from Bai Xiao to the bedside, took the breakfast from the old man's hand, and said sweetly "thank you".
Grandma smiled and touched his head, "Good boy, be good."
The child was holding the hot buns and eating them without looking at the other two people from beginning to end.
Meatball, on the other hand, was wagging its tail excitedly and kept circling around Yu Shaoting. After being glanced at by Yu Shaoting's cold gaze, he immediately shrank his wrinkled head and moved his chubby body to hide behind Yu Jingxi.
"Qiyou, if you are really busy, just go back to the company, and Xiaoxiao will be with me here."
Yu Shaoting stood behind Bai Xiao. Before he could open his mouth, he was overtaken by a child's voice, and he couldn't help but frown.
And Yu Jingxi was sitting on the bed, shaking her feet, holding a meat bun with a pair of bright black eyes. She turned around and asked the old man curiously: "Grandma, why do I feel that Uncle Pei looks so familiar? I feel like I have seen him somewhere?"
Bai Xiao's temples were twitching as she stared at the innocent-looking child, not knowing what he was going to say.
When the old man heard this, he squinted and took a closer look. He saw that Qiyou looked a bit like Xiaoxi!
"When you say it, it's really..." The old man liked the child more and more the more he looked at it. He suddenly became interested and took out a small cloth bag from under the pillow, "Grandma, here is a photo of your Uncle Pei.
When I was ten years old."
Bai Xiao recognized the photo her grandmother took out at a glance. It was the "family portrait" they took together when they returned to Liyang that year.
"Let's see if it looks like it?"
Yu Jingxi took the photo and looked at Yu Shaoting, who was looking at him with a cold face, in a dignified manner, then lowered his head and pretended to look at the boy in the photo seriously, then ignored his father's warning eyes and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like that!
"
"Your Uncle Pei is twenty-eight this year, so his appearance will of course change." Recalling the past, the old man's face was full of smiles.
Yu Jingxi scratched his hair, "I thought Uncle Pei was thirty-four. Maybe he worked too hard, haha."
Bai Xiao felt that there was something in Yu Jingxi's words, and every word seemed to remind her grandma the truth that Yu Shaoting was not Pei Qiyou.
"Xiaoxiao, I want to go to the toilet, please help me."
When Bai Xiao helped her grandmother into the bathroom, Yu Jingxi's back collar was picked up.
Yu Shaoting had a dark face and carried him out of the ward like a chicken. "Rou Yuan" followed him out for fear of falling.
…
After closing the ward door and carrying him a long way, Yu Shaoting let go of his son.
Yu Jingxi had a small face and stared at him angrily.
Yu Shaoting frowned: "What are you staring at? Is this the attitude you should have towards your father?"
"Then why are you in Grandma Xiaobai's ward?" Yu Jing hoped that Yu Shaoting's eyes would be full of hostility.
"If you play truant again, Yu Jingxi, I will send you back to Las Vegas." After saying that, Yu Shaoting walked back.
Yu Jingxi was not convinced and trotted after him: "Why are you pretending to be Xiaobai's husband?"
Yu Shaoting didn't answer him and just left alone.
"Did you take advantage of my absence to bully Xiaobai again?"
Yu Shaoting stopped and glanced sideways at him: "She asked me."
Yu Jingxi was furious: "You're lying, you're a lot older, even if you want to find someone to pretend to be, she should find me!"
"Looking for you?" Yu Shaoting's cold eyes swept from Yu Jingxi's head to the soles of his feet.
Yu Jingxi definitely thought that Yu Shaoting's squinting action was full of contempt for himself. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his mouth tightened and he looked at Yu Shaoting intently: "Dad, are you?
Do you also like Xiaobai?"
Yu Shaoting looked back at his son's persistent eyes. After a long time, until Yu Jingxi thought that he would not answer and planned to accuse this bad father again, Yu Shaoting said quietly: "Isn't this what you want?"
Yu Jingxi frowned, "Of course I hope you like Xiaobai, you are my father, and she is the woman I like. If I don't get your blessing, with Xiaobai's kind temperament, she will definitely not agree to me."
of."
As he said that, he looked at Yu Shaoting in realization: "Dad, have you really accepted Xiaobai?"
Yu Shaoting gave him a faint glance and walked straight back to the ward.
Yu Jingxi's mood improved unconsciously, and then she chased after him, "Dad, you must help Xiaobai well this time, you know?"
…
When the Yu family and his son returned to the ward, Bai Xiao clearly noticed that the aura between them was much more harmonious.
Hearing Yu Jingxi smile and say that Uncle Pei had taken him to buy Coke, Bai Xiao couldn't help but glance at Yu Shaoting.
I don’t know what method he used to get the children to cooperate with him in acting like this.
Not long after, a secretary came to the ward to take Yu Jingxi to school.
But soon the little guy came back, carrying a big schoolbag, lying at the door, mouthing "Daddy" to Yu Shaoting.
