"He said that I was born but not raised by my mother. I couldn't stand it, so I beat him."
Bai Xiao looked at Yu Jingxi's colorful little face and didn't know what to say to comfort him.
She was a person who didn't know how to express her feelings, so she just knelt down and touched Yu Jingxi's head.
After a while, Bai Xiao unexpectedly asked, "Does Jingxi miss her mother?"
Even she herself didn't understand why she was curious about this question. When she reacted, the little guy was frowning with two little eyebrows and scratching his head. He was very embarrassed: "I have never seen her, and I don't know what to think even if I want to.
.”
Bai Xiao looked at his big round eyes like black grapes and the wound on the bridge of his nose, feeling soft and pitiful in his heart. He took his fleshy hand. The small palm was a little moist, but also extremely soft.
, walked towards the teaching building: "Go back and pack your schoolbag, I will take you home."
"Are you going to your house?" the little guy asked her sideways as he walked.
Bai Xiao nodded, "Yes, my home."
Yu Jingxi's eyes were shining, and he made a victory gesture in his heart, and broke away from Bai Xiao's hand, "Xiao Bai, wait for me here, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
After saying that, he ran away without a trace.
Teacher Yu had already told Bai Xiao about Yu Jingxi's class, so Bai Xiao didn't stand there, but went to his classroom.
As soon as she approached Class 4, she saw a small figure busy in her seat.
The orange-yellow and blue-edged wool hat was crookedly placed on his head. A pair of small hands stuffed everything on the table into his schoolbag. With a sweet smile on his little face, he took out the down vest from the drawer and put it on his back.
Holding the big school bag, he happily left.
"Yu Jingxi, at the parent-teacher meeting on Saturday, will your father or your mother come?" A little boy wearing a two-stripe epaulette came over.
Yu Jingxi waved his hand impatiently, "As I said, my father is very busy and has no time to hold this frivolous meeting!"
"What about your mother?" The squad leader said very conscientiously, "You have just transferred to another class, so your parents should come over!"
Yu Jingxi pursed her lips, obviously unwilling to answer this question.
However, a naughty boy on the side interrupted: "Monitor, Yu Jingxi has no mother, don't you know?"
"Who told you that I don't have a mother?" Yu Jingxi's eyes widened and she straightened her back stubbornly.
"Didn't you admit it when Fatty Wu fought with you just now?" The boy chuckled, and other children nearby also came to cheer, "And every time you get into trouble, the ones who come are always men. I just went back to the office last time.
See, it seems to be your father’s secretary, right?”
"Yu Jingxi, did your father marry a new wife? Your stepmother gave birth to a child for your father and she doesn't want you anymore?"
Although the child spoke innocently and without any malice, Bai Xiao still felt uncomfortable after hearing it. She was about to come over and call Yu Jingxi out when Yu Jingxi suddenly pushed the child who had just been teasing her and yelled back at the top of her voice: "
Now that I have Xiaobai, I don’t need a mother!”
Seeing that a group of little guys were about to fight again, Bai Xiao hurriedly said: "Jing Xi, are you ready?"
A group of children looked at the classroom door in unison.
Yu Jingxi went to school earlier than other children, so he was also shorter among the boys in the class. His face was round, fair, and bruised. Under the curious gaze of other children, Bai Xiao walked in and said, "If it's good,
Well, let’s go home early.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader stared at Bai Xiao and asked, "Are you Yu Jingxi's new mother? Will you come to the parent-teacher conference on Saturday?"
Bai Xiao was stunned and didn't really know how to answer.
"Come on, of course Xiaobai will come!" Bai Xiao's hand was held, and Yu Jingxi was already standing beside her.
The little guy raised his head high, hummed twice, and led Bai Xiao out of the classroom with his head held high. After walking a long way, he put away his arrogance and turned his head, his eyes shining brightly.
He looked at Bai Xiao with his eyes: "Xiao Bai, will you come to my parents' meeting?"
A five-year-old child says he doesn’t miss his mother, but does he really not?
Bai Xiao couldn't bear to hurt such an innocent and lovely child, and suddenly understood the meaning of Ye Hehuan's words. She allowed this child to enter her life, but there were some things she couldn't do for her, such as parent-teacher conferences. What qualifications did she have?
Sitting among those parents?
Looking at Yu Jingxi's hopeful eyes waiting there, Bai Xiao opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a Bentley Continental stopped on the side of the road.
Yu Jingxi had already rushed over to the car, and while banging on the car door, she shouted happily, "Dad!"
The car window was half-lowered, and in the evening and dusk, the orange-red sunset light fell on his face, making the originally cold outline a bit softer.
Yu Jingxi was lying by the car window chattering incessantly. Bai Xiaoju was not far away, and she suddenly felt at a loss.
Yu Shaoting raised his eyes at his son's childish words, and cast his dark eyes on Bai Xiao, who was standing there with a big schoolbag.
She was wearing a mint green down jacket, a cowl-collared milk-white sweater and dark blue jeans. A pair of sneakers made her look more student-like. She was still bare-faced, with her silky black hair tied into a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead.
A pair of big black and white eyes with clear vision.
For a sudden moment, there was only one sentence in Yu Shaoting's mind: "Skin as ice and snow, graceful as a virgin."
Yu Jingxi was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, running back to Bai Xiao, "Xiao Bai, my father is here!"
Bai Xiao lowered his head and touched his hat with a smile.
"We can save money on the bus." The little guy said mischievously and shrewdly.
"Jingxi." Bai Xiao pulled Yu Jingxi at a distance from the car.
The little guy turned to look at her in confusion.
Bai Xiao organized her words, "Since your father is here, then you go home with him."
"What about you, Xiaobai?"
"Of course the teacher also went back to his home."
Yu Jingxi was unhappy and held her hand, "But you just told me to go to your house."
"Uh..." Bai Xiao was in a dilemma, the man over there had already got out of the car.
Wearing a dark gray woolen coat, a dark blue shirt underneath, and a thin red-striped tie, Yu Shaoting is very tall, with slender and straight legs, and a tight waist. His facial features are as perfect as works of art carved by a master craftsman, and he is outstanding.
His temperament makes him a sight to behold wherever he stops by the roadside.
Bai Xiao had never thought that she would have any interaction with such a man before.
Yu Shaoting stood by the car. When he looked towards them, he opened the back seat door. His meaning was self-evident.
————————
Maybe he was tired from the fight, so as soon as he got in the car, Yu Jingxi lay on Bai Xiao's lap and fell asleep.
Bai Xiao lowered his head and touched Yu Jingxi's head. He was a little distracted, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
It was very quiet inside the car, so quiet that the atmosphere was once depressing.
The car window in front suddenly lowered slowly, and a chill rushed into the back of Bai Xiao's neck.
She subconsciously raised her head and saw Yu Shaoting holding the steering wheel with one hand and resting on the car window with the other. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers. The sparks flickered. He turned his head and blew out the smoke ring out the window. There was also a faint light in the car.
The smell of tobacco lingered, and there was a lighter on the front of the car.
Bai Xiao frowned unconsciously, then turned his face to the other side of the car window.
The man in front seemed to notice her little movement and raised his eyes to look at her in the rearview mirror, but he only saw her pursed lips.
The next second, the smell of smoke in the car dissipated and the windows were closed.
Bai Xiao was obviously surprised at the speed of his smoking. She turned back to look in the rearview mirror, only to meet a pair of deep black eyes. She didn't know how long he had been staring at her. Her cheeks were slightly hot, and she lowered her head in an instant.
Looking at the sleeping Yu Jingxi, the smell of slightly drunk tobacco made her inexplicably upset.
————————
As soon as the car drove downstairs to the apartment, Yu Jingxi woke up and entered the unit building more familiarly than Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao twisted a wet towel and wiped Yu Jingxi's face. He grinned, but when Bai Xiao asked him if it hurt, he just smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt."
He was extremely dirty, and there must be mud wherever he went. Even Bai Xiao's down jacket had a lot of it on it.
There was no other way, Bai Xiao had to take him to take a bath first. In the bathtub filled with heat, Yu Jingxi sat naked, letting Bai Xiao wash his hair. With a head of white foam on his head, he squinted and enjoyed doing it.
There was a satisfied smile on the little face that was covered in bruises and bruises.
After helping him clean himself, Bai Xiao realized belatedly that she didn't have Yu Jingxi's change of clothes here!
Wrapping Yu Jingxi tightly in a large bath towel, Bai Xiao carried him out of the bathroom, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Yu Jingxi's damp curly hair stuck to his forehead, and his face was flushed by the heat, "Xiaobai, where are you going?"
"Go to the nearby shopping mall to buy you a set of clothes." Bai Xiao put on her down jacket again.
"How about we go together?" Yu Jingxi said as he got off the bed, ran to the closet wrapped in a bath towel, and got in.
After a while, he pulled out a set of children's thermal* and a pair of small shorts from the messy pile of clothes.
Bai Xiao looked at the child with his bare buttocks and clothes on and felt incredible. When did he stuff the clothes into his closet?
————————
When she led Yu Jingxi out of the bedroom, she saw Yu Shaoting sitting on the sofa watching the evening news.
The vertical air conditioner was turned on in the apartment, and the temperature was not low. He took off his coat, pulled off his tie and placed it on the sofa. Two buttons on the collar of his dark blue shirt were undone, and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. It was very homely.
But in Bai Xiao's opinion, is it too casual for him to dress like this in his own home?
Yu Shaoting turned his head when he heard the noise. When he saw one big boy and one small boy holding hands, he turned off the TV and stood up, "Where are we going to eat?"
This was the first thing he said since they met. His voice was a little hoarse, but it gave people a steady impression.
Yu Jingxi has already raised his hand to express his opinion: "Is Xiaobai doing a good job? The braised eggplant that Xiaobai made for grandma last time was delicious."
Bai Xiao can cook, but because he is busy with work, he usually buys fast food or frozen food. When Yu Jingxi looked at him eagerly with a pair of big black eyes, Bai Xiao realized that he was beyond accommodating to this child.
own imagination.
————————
The capital of Xingyu is located in the prosperous economic zone of Fengcheng, with shopping malls and supermarkets nearby.
Yu Jingxi wore a down vest and a warm velvet* jacket, snow boots, and held Bai Xiao, smiling happily with her eyes narrowed.
Bai Xiao was worried that he was cold, so she took off her scarf and put it on him, but Yu Shaoting's voice came from behind, "Boys are not that delicate."
The deep baritone voice was magnetic, but it did not hide the disapproval in his tone.
When Bai Xiao gave Yu Jingxi a bath just now, she found a lot of bruises on his little body. Now when she heard what Yu Shaoting said, she couldn't help turning her head and frowning at him. The disapproval in her eyes made Yu Shaoting frown, but she was already
He turned around and continued to put a scarf on Yu Jingxi.
When Yu Jingxi was buying clothes, a call came in from Bai Xiao's cell phone. It was Pei Zhai's number.
Bai Xiao hesitated for a while, then took the phone to the corner outside.
As soon as I picked up, Jiang Yingmei's loving voice came over there, "Xiaoxiao, come to my house for dinner tonight. I've prepared a table of your favorite dishes."
Bai Xiao looked at the children in the store who were wearing new clothes and spinning around in front of the mirror, and said, "Mom, there are guests at home tonight."
"Is that so..." Jiang Yingmei paused, "Xiaoxiao, Qiyou is also at home."
Bai Xiao understood the purpose of Jiang Yingmei's call, which was nothing more than to reconcile her with Pei Qiyou. It was not like this happened before, but every time, what awaited her after going was Mrs. Pei's cynicism and
Pei Qiyou treated him coldly.
"Mom, what I said that day was not a joke."
Jiang Yingmei was a little anxious, "Xiaoxiao, do you have to get divorced? Qiyou is living at home these days..."
"I have something else to do here, Mom, I'll hang up first." Bai Xiao was afraid that she would become soft-hearted if she continued to listen, so she hung up the phone after saying this.
She leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, turned around and saw Yu Shaoting standing behind her at some point.
Bai Xiao didn't know if he heard it, and if he heard it, how much he heard it. When Yu Jingxi missed his deep eyes, he came out of the store. As soon as he saw her, he rushed towards her, hugged her waist and acted coquettishly:
"Xiaobai, where have you been?"
"I just received a call." Bai Xiao did not forget to praise, "The new clothes are very beautiful!"
Yu Jingxi shyly scratched the base of his ear, "Actually, it's just so-so."
Rubbing Yu Jingxi's soft and curly hair, Bai Xiao's depressed mood dissipated a lot, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
————————
The supermarket is very busy and crowded at six or seven in the evening.
When Bai Xiao led Yu Jingxi, who was looking around, into the supermarket, she found that the man behind her suddenly stopped.
Yu Shaoting looked at the noisy supermarket and frowned subconsciously, obviously unwilling to go in and squeeze in with others.
"Dad, just wait for us here. Xiaobai and I will be out soon!"
Finally being able to get rid of her big-bulb dad, Yu Jingxi couldn't help but drag Bai Xiao into the supermarket without looking back.
When Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi came out carrying large and small bags, Yu Shaoting was sitting in the cafe next to him, with a cup of green tea steaming on the table.
"You really know how to enjoy life." Bai Xiao accidentally expressed his thoughts.
Yu Shaoting glanced at her with a heavy gaze, which made Bai Xiao turn her head away in embarrassment.
Then she touched her right hand, and Yu Shaoting took all the bags she was carrying.
He held the bag in one hand and Yu Jingxi, who was about to stick to Bai Xiao's body with the other hand, and walked towards the capital of Xingyu with long legs.
Bai Xiao was about to follow him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a fashionably dressed woman coming out of the supermarket carrying shopping bags. The other party also noticed Bai Xiao, nodded friendly, and then took out the car keys. A red sports car next to her beeped.
It beeped twice.
This woman had just queued up in front of Bai Xiao to check out. Bai Xiao could see it clearly. She wrote three words on the purchase form - Pei Qiyou.
The red BMW 6 Series sports car drove past Bai Xiao, and the familiar license plate made Bai Xiao jog along.
This car was ordered by Pei Qiyou last year. She knew that he was giving it to his confidante, but Bai Xiao was still surprised when she saw this woman. She was obviously several years older than Pei Qiyou, and her
The figure also overlapped with the woman who came downstairs from the unit to pick up Pei Qiyou that night.
Standing on the roadside, watching the sports car disappearing gradually, Bai Xiao's mother's words, "Prayers have been living at home these days," seemed to be echoing in Bai Xiao's ears.
"How long are you going to stand here?"
A man's deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Bai Xiao was startled and the bag in her hand was about to fall to the ground.
Yu Shaoting caught the bag with quick eyes and hands, and held her hand firmly in his hand.
The dry warmth on the back of her hand made Bai Xiao raise her head suddenly, and she saw Yu Shaoting's clear-cut face under the neon lights. His big hand was wrapped around her cold little hand, and his deep black eyes were staring at her. His fingers seemed to be careless.
The ground passed through her fingers, slowly closed them, and interlocked with hers.
