your dad is the best looking man i have ever seen in a white shirt
——My dad actually likes you quite a bit.
When Bai Xiao was drowsy, he woke up for a moment when he saw this sentence.
She paused, and then replied: "If you like and dislike you all the time at a young age, be careful I will complain to your father."
————————
Yu Shaoting looked at the newly sent message, especially the last half of the sentence, a smile flashed in his narrow eyes.
It's very light and light, fleeting and too fast to be caught.
My fingers tapped skillfully on the keyboard of the phone, and a new message soon appeared.
——My father is so kind to me that he is not willing to scold me.
After reading it over and over again to make sure the tone was correct, I pressed "Send" with confidence.
————————
Bai Xiao simply stopped sleeping and leaned on his bed, continuing to chat on WeChat with "Yu Jingxi".
After reading his reply, Bai Xiao chuckled. She didn't expect that he was actually a filial son. She originally thought that he would secretly undermine his father.
"It's really not easy for him to raise you by himself all these years."
————————
Yu Shaoting changed his position on the bed again, looked at the lit screen, and the corners of his mouth turned up by half an arc that even he didn't know he had.
After about ten seconds, Bai Xiao received new information.
——My father is worried that I will be bullied by my stepmother. I haven’t married a wife in these years and I am busy with work. It is really hard for me.
In this quiet moment of the night, Bai Xiao suddenly felt a little sentimental when looking at this kind of information.
She couldn't help but think of herself.
Ever since she could remember, she had never seen her biological parents. Wu Xiumei said that she was the daughter of the Bai family and a wild man from outside, but her grandmother told her that was not the case, but when she asked again, her grandmother said
Reluctant to say more.
Whenever she mentioned "Mom", her grandfather would sit under the big tree at the door and smoke, while her grandmother would hide behind the stove and wipe her tears.
Later, she no longer dared to mention her mother. Gradually, the memory of her parents was deeply buried in her childhood memories.
I still remember that in high school, she was framed for stealing another female classmate’s watch. The class teacher asked her to call her parents. The person who finally took her away was Pei Qiyou. He was waiting at the school gate and heard that Bai Qiyou from Class 20
After Xiao was caught stealing something, he broke into the school regardless.
————————
Before the phone screen went dark, Bai Xiao replied: "Then you must be filial to your father when you grow up."
Before sending it, I found that the tone was too serious, so I deleted it and reorganized the message.
"When Jingxi grows up to be as tall and handsome as your father and makes a lot of money, you must be filial to him."
"Yu Jingxi" quickly replied: "Is my father handsome? Why don't I think so?"
It was late at night and she felt sleepy again. Bai Xiao felt that she was speaking a little carelessly.
As soon as she saw this message, she subconsciously replied, "No, your father is the most handsome man I have ever seen wearing a white shirt and black suit."
By the time she realized her abruptness and wanted to undo it, it was already too late.
————————
——Your father is the most handsome man I have ever seen wearing a white shirt and black suit.
Yu Shaoting stared at these words for a long time, then threw away his cell phone, rolled himself up in the soft quilt, and tossed and turned on the bed.
After struggling for a while, he found his phone again.
"Ever since he was a child, he has been told that he is a clotheshorse and looks good no matter what he wears."
However, after waiting for a long time, really long time, about five or six minutes, no one came back.
Yu Shaoting hesitated for a moment and then sent another message: "Maybe it's because of the style of the clothes."
There was a "ding" sound, and there was new news coming in.
——Jing Xi, I'm sorry, the signal here just now was not good and I didn't receive the message. What else did you say before?
Yu Shaoting: "..."
————————
Bai Xiao didn't wait any longer for "Yu Jingxi" to reply to her.
She slid the dialog box on the screen and fixed her eyes on the last few messages.
——No, your father is the most handsome man I have ever seen wearing a white shirt and black suit.
——Maybe it’s because of the style of the clothes.
Did he fall asleep while chatting?
Bai Xiao thought for a while, then said "good night" again, then turned off the phone and went to sleep.
————————
When Bai Xiao got up the next day, she turned on her phone and subconsciously checked WeChat.
Still no new messages are displayed.
Grandma's health has almost recovered. Bai Xiao plans to pick her up from the hospital today. Ye Hehuan specially asked for half a day off and drove there together.
But when they arrived, they were told that Zhou Aihua from Ward 5043 had already been picked up.
Not long after, Bai Xiao received a call from Jiang Yingmei.
When she and Ye Hehuan arrived at Pei's house, they saw her grandmother lying on the bench, half covered with a blanket, smiling and chatting with Jiang Yingmei.
"Xiaoxiao, are you here?" Jiang Yingmei turned to Aunt Rong with a smile: "Go and get some cakes for Xiaoxiao and the others."
Bai Xiao had already knelt down next to her grandma, "Grandma, why didn't you tell me when you were discharged from hospital?"
"I didn't think carefully," Jiang Yingmei answered, "Xiaoxiao, if you want to blame, just blame me."
Grandma held Bai Xiao's hand and smiled kindly, "Shouldn't I call you right away? I see you are so anxious..."
Pei's mother brought her grandmother to Pei's house. Bai Xiao could probably guess her intention, but Bai Xiao didn't want her grandmother to live here.
"Grandma, living here will bring too much trouble to Mom and the others. You and I can go and live in the capital of Star Language."
Ye Hehuan also helped: "Yes, grandma, Bai Xiao has already cleaned up the room, waiting for you to come over!"
During the more than ten years in Pei's house, Bai Xiao has also seen the power of Mrs. Pei. In the past, Mrs. Pei protected her, but now... Although Mrs. Pei treats her well, she is a woman who only obeys her mother-in-law. Bai Xiao is worried
Grandma, who has a simple nature, will be looked down upon and ridiculed by Mrs. Pei here.
"Why, our Pei family can't even compare to a small apartment?"
It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.
Old Mrs. Pei was helped out of the villa by her servants.
Ye Hehuan subconsciously blocked Bai Xiao's body.
Jiang Yingmei noticed this action, smiled awkwardly, stood up and went to help Mrs. Pei, saying at the same time: "Mom, Xiaoxiao is back."
Mrs. Pei hummed lightly and sat down on the chair next to Zhou Aihua.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became very cold.
Bai Xiao was about to continue the topic and take her grandma away, when over there, Mrs. Pei suddenly spoke.
"Grandma, since you are here, I will stay a little longer this time before going back to Liyang, and let Qiyou and Xiaoxiao accompany you around more."
Bai Xiao looked at Mrs. Pei in surprise, not only because of her friendly tone, but also because of her "Xiao Xiao".
After living in Pei's house for more than ten years, Old Mrs. Pei had never called her so kindly, and she had never been so kind to relatives of the Bai family. Bai Xiao couldn't help but look at Old Mrs. Pei a few more times, but Old Mrs. Pei was still the same Pei.
The old lady was as graceful as ever, but the expression on her face was surprisingly soft.
Ye Hehuan approached Bai Xiao and murmured in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did the old woman take the wrong medicine today?"
Bai Xiao tugged at her clothes from behind, and Ye Hehuan stopped talking.
Old Mrs. Pei had turned to look at Bai Xiao, her expression a little unnatural, but her words were not as harsh and harsh as before, or in other words, they were two extremes, "How annoying will it be to move around again? Just let your grandma live here.
, you too, since you resigned, you have moved back home so you can take care of your grandma."
Bai Xiao couldn't help but look up at the sky. There was no red rain...
Mrs. Pei coughed awkwardly: "It was my fault before, so you should blame me, but after Qiyou's actions, I figured it out." She paused and looked at Bai Xiao with an uncomfortable look in her eyes.
But he said with a bit of sincerity, "It's too inconvenient to live outside, so it's better to come back."
Bai Xiao didn't answer. Before the atmosphere became awkward, Jiang Yingmei smoothed things over: "Why hasn't Aunt Rong come out yet? By the way, today we invited a chef from the East Palace to cook some Liyang dishes. You guys will leave them at noon.
Come down and eat together."
Ye He happily said with Bai Xiao, "Okay, I've always heard Xiao Xiao say that I haven't really tasted Liyang cuisine!"
————————
Ye Hehuan helped Pei's mother lay the dishes, while Bai Xiao helped her grandmother go back to the room to add clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, do you blame grandma for not notifying you and making her own decision to live in Qiyou's house?"
Bai Xiao: "No, because I know grandma didn't come here because she was greedy for his family." It can only be because of me...
Grandma looked at Bai Xiao, who was half-crouching to sort her clothes, and sighed, "Qiyou came to see me last night."
Bai Xiao froze and looked up at her grandmother.
"I'm old, my eyesight is no longer working, and it's inevitable to admit the wrong person." The old man stroked Bai Xiao's hair, "I know you are doing it for my own good, so you found someone to lie to me. He... is Jing
Xi’s father, right?”
Bai Xiao didn't expect that grandma would guess it right right away.
Grandma saw her surprised expression and smiled: "I eat more salt than you eat rice, can't you tell? I just thought they were friends before, but now that I think about it, they must be acquaintances.
Just by looking at your expression, I understand that they are really father and son."
"Grandma." Bai Xiao called, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I don't blame you. Qiyou told me a lot last night. He said that he has failed you all these years. I hope I can forgive him, my grandson-in-law."
Bai Xiao held her grandmother's hand, her face lowered and she didn't respond.
Grandma sighed, "The fact that he is willing to push you away at the critical moment of life and death shows that he still has you in his heart. I won't force you to forgive him. This time, the old lady from my in-laws came to the hospital to pick me up in person, so I can't refute her face."
, I agreed to come and stay for a few days."
"Old Mrs. Pei went to the hospital to pick you up?" Bai Xiao thought she heard wrongly.
That old lady who still bosses around every day even though she lives in a demolished house would actually lower her profile to pick up a grandmother who has no identity or status?
Grandma nodded, "Although I don't know what happened to make her suddenly change her mind, her attitude doesn't seem like she's cheating. It seems she really accepts you."
————————
When Bai Xiao walked into the restaurant with her grandmother, Pei Qiyou was already sitting at the dining table.
He was wearing a short down jacket, a light gray turtleneck sweater, jeans and sneakers, and a bandage on his head. His thin face was softened by the sunlight behind him, and he had a slight smile on his face.
, heard the movement and looked up, and when he saw her, there was a smile on his face.
This kind of Pei Qiyou is a complete clone of what he looked like when he was twenty years old, young, uninhibited, yet so pure.
"Grandma, sit here." He had already stood up and pulled out the chair next to him.
After grandma sat down, Pei Qiyou pulled out the chair on his left and looked down at Bai Xiao with gentle eyes.
At this time, Ye Hehuan came out with a plate of dishes: "Why are you still standing? Sit down quickly, get ready to eat!"
Bai Xiao didn't look at Pei Qiyou, but still sat down.
The lunch was very rich, but Bai Xiao had no appetite and ate very little. She picked up a peeled lobster with a pair of chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
"Eat more, otherwise you'll get hungry soon."
Bai Xiao looked at the crayfish with its shell removed and was a little distracted for a moment.
"It's hard to buy this kind of crayfish this season," Jiang Yingmei glanced at her eager son and said with a smile, "He must have said that he could buy it, and he didn't care about his own health and asked Xiao Wu to drive him all over Fengcheng.
After wandering around, I actually bought it for him."
Pei Qiyou didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and continued peeling the lobster.
Bai Xiao turned his head and saw a small plate of peeled crayfish, and his long, clean fingers were covered with juice.
She picked up the lobster meat and put it in her mouth slowly. It tasted delicious and the texture was no worse than that of summer.
Bai Xiao has been fond of crayfish since he was a child, but he found it troublesome to peel lobster shells, so he was often reluctant to buy them even if he was greedy. Later, Pei Qiyou found out about it and often took Li Jing out to fish for lobsters.
After being scolded by Mr. Pei for not doing his job all day long, he only knew how to play.
After they were together, every time they ate lobster, he would peel off the shells beforehand, and then put the lobster meat soaked in juice into her mouth.
What was her expression at that time?
Leaning on his shoulder, she narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Occasionally, he would lower his head to steal the fragrance when she wasn't paying attention.
————————
"Why don't you go and bask in the sun with them?"
Bai Xiao turned her head and saw Pei Qiyou walking into the kitchen. He had taken off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and was standing next to her.
"Oh, help Aunt Rong wash the dishes first, and then go out later."
Bai Xiao's expression was as usual, and he drained the dirty water from the sink skillfully and turned on the faucet.
Pei Qiyou watched her wash the dishes quietly, and after a long time he said, "Xiaoxiao, how long has it been since we washed the dishes together?"
Bai Xiao didn't say a word and didn't stop washing the dishes.
Pei Qiyou leaned closer to her, put his hand into the warm water, and gently squeezed her hand.
"Stop making trouble..." Bai Xiao wanted to withdraw her hand.
Pei Qiyou suddenly hugged her and held her sideways in his arms, tightening his arms tightly. Smelling the familiar fragrance of orange, his anxious mood finally calmed down. His thin lips touched the top of her hair, and his voice
Qingya: "Xiaoxiao, let's go back."
"Xiao Xiao, your phone number!" Ye Hehuan ran in holding Bai Xiao's mobile phone.
Bai Xiao had already pushed Pei Qiyou away. She blinked away the warmth in the corners of her eyes and looked at Ye Hehuan when she took the phone: "Whose is it?"
Ye Hehuan glanced at Pei Qiyou, hesitated to speak, and waved his hand casually, "You will know after I take it."
Just as Bai Xiao put the phone to her ear, Yu Jingxi's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Xiao Bai, are you free tonight?"
After walking out of the kitchen with her cell phone and finding a quiet place where no one was around, Bai Xiao answered: "What's wrong?"
"Today we have a topic assigned by Teacher Yu, asking us to write an essay about parent-child activities, but I have never done any parent-child activities, so...Xiaobai, when I get out of school, can you go to my house and do it with me?
cake?"
To be honest, she, a teacher at an art center, was not qualified to participate in this kind of activity that was labeled as "parent-child".
Bai Xiao organized her words, and just when she was about to politely refuse, Yu Jingxi's expectant and nervous voice came, "Xiao Bai, today is my birthday."
The words I was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck in my throat after hearing the words "birthday".
"I spend my birthday with Meat Wan every year. Can I spend my birthday with you, Xiaobai, this year?"
Bai Xiao squinted at the sunshine coming in from outside. After a while of inner struggle, he nodded and agreed, "Well, I'll contact you later."
————————
Yu Jingxi put away the phone with satisfaction, raised his head and asked the man sitting across from him reading a magazine: "Dad, is this arrangement okay?"
