"Well, Yixi is here." Cheng Nuo said with a smile, and his attitude towards Long Yixi now is better than before.
"Yeah." Long Yixi nodded.
He Xiaomei waited for her parents to come downstairs and explained to them, "Dad, Mom, and Long Yixi are here to pick me up from work, so I invited them to come in and have breakfast with us."
"Well, let's eat together. It's so early, Yi Xi must not have eaten yet," Cheng Nuo said.
Long Yixi nodded in reply. He came out of the hotel early in the morning and indeed didn't have breakfast.
The four of them sat down to eat in the restaurant, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After this meal, the relationship between Long Yixi and Uncle He and Aunt He seemed to have gotten closer. At least, Long Yixi and Uncle He talked, and the chat between the two had no emotion at all and was very calm.
After eating, Long Yixi and He Xiaomei greeted the two elders and left home.
Long Yixi sent Xiaomei to work. On the way, Long Yixi was very happy. Occasionally, he had a free hand to hold Xiaomei's hand.
He Xiaomei looked at Long Yixi's happy look and wondered whether she should tell him about Aunt Long's visit to her home. But she didn't know if Long Yixi knew about it?
"Yixi." He Xiaomei took the initiative and called Long Yixi.
"Well, what's wrong?" Long Yixi answered hurriedly, worried that something might happen to Xiaomei.
"Have you...had any contact with your mother recently?" He Xiaomei asked.
When he mentioned his mother, the smile on Long Yixi's face disappeared a little, and he answered Xiaomei, "No."
After saying that, Long Yixi asked Xiaomei again, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
He Xiaomei now understood that Yi Xi probably didn't know about Aunt Long's visit to Westport, so... she still didn't tell him.
Since Aunt Long didn't tell Yi Xi, she didn't say much more. It wouldn't be good if this incident affected the relationship between mother and son.
"Oh, it's nothing, just...just asking casually." He Xiaomei said, looking a little flustered.
But Long Yixi didn't notice Xiaomei's expression. He was still looking at the road ahead and continued, "I'm not in Wangcheng, and I've been busy recently, so I haven't contacted my mother."
In addition to these reasons, there are also reasons from the previous incident, but for this reason, I will not tell Xiaomei.
"Yeah." He Xiaomei responded, then moved to other topics and chatted with Long Yixi.
After Long Yixi sent Xiaomei to the entrance of the kindergarten, when Xiaomei was about to get off the car, he immediately grabbed Xiaomei's arm.
He Xiaomei turned around, looked at Long Yixi, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'll pick you up from get off work in the afternoon."
"No, I'll just take a taxi back. You can go about your own business." He Xiaomei said, knowing that Long Yixi was also very busy in Sihanoukville, so she wouldn't bother him in the afternoon.
"My own business is to pick you up from get off work," Long Yixi said, "Xiaomei, don't refuse me. I have time in the afternoon and I will pick you up from get off work."
Seeing the determination in Long Yixi's eyes, He Xiaomei nodded and agreed.
"Also," Long Yixi continued, "this weekend, let's go shopping in Linshi for some fun, okay?"
He Xiaomei was a little moved by Long Yixi's suggestion and wanted to go out and relax. Since she came back to Sihanoukville, she had not been out of Sihanoukville City, so it would be nice to go and play around.
"Are you going to play both days on the weekend?" He Xiaomei asked.
"This is my plan," Long Yixi said, telling Xiaomei his detailed plan. "When you get off work on Friday, we will go to Linshi. I will drive there for about three hours. We will stay at the hotel in the evening.
We are in Linshi. We will play for two days on Saturday and Sunday. We will come back on Sunday afternoon. I promise to send you home before eight o'clock in the evening."
"And don't worry, you won't be too tired during the two days on the weekend. You can sleep until you wake up naturally, and we will go out for a walk." Long Yixi said that as long as he is with Xiaomei, it will be the greatest happiness for him.
Follow her arrangements at all times.
After hearing this, He Xiaomei thought for a while and then said, "Okay, then I will prepare my luggage on Thursday night and bring it to the kindergarten on Friday. After get off work, we will go to Linshi together."
"Okay, I will pick you up from work that Friday morning." Long Yixi said, getting another chance for himself.
"Um."
Long Yixi was happy, so he stepped forward and kissed Xiaomei's lips before allowing her to leave.
…
In the blink of an eye, on Friday morning, Cheng Nuo got up early and went to his daughter's room to help her pack her luggage.
"Mom, I sorted everything out last night." He Xiaomei said.
"Let me check again to see if you forgot anything?"
"I didn't forget to bring it, and I'm only going to Linshi for two days. Even if I forget to bring it, just make do with it and it won't affect anything." He Xiaomei said.
Cheng Nuo shook his head, still worried, "No, let me check."
He Xiaomei had no choice but to let her mother check it out.
Cheng Nuo checked it over and felt relieved. At this moment, He Zikai also came to his daughter's room. Cheng Nuo asked He Zikai to carry the suitcase down.
He Xiaomei felt very relaxed, took her bag, took her mother's arm, and went downstairs together.
During the meal, Cheng Nuo did not forget to tell his daughter some things she should pay attention to.
Although He Xiaomei knew all this, when her mother told her, she still nodded to show that she understood.
He Xiaomei suddenly realized that after staying at home for so long, her parents took care of her like a child again. She only went out for two days on the weekend, and they were so worried.
Just after eating, He Xiaomei received a call from Long Yixi and knew that Long Yixi was waiting for her at the door of her house.
He Zikai and Cheng Nuo also learned from their daughter's phone call that Long Yixi had arrived. After her daughter hung up the phone, Cheng Nuo said to her, "Let's go, we will take you to the door."
He Xiaomei also knew that she wouldn't be able to see her parents for two days, so she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
Long Yixi saw Xiaomei and Uncle He and Auntie He coming out together. He first greeted Uncle He and Auntie He, then hurriedly stepped forward, took Xiaomei's suitcase from Uncle He, and put it in the trunk of his car.
"Yixi, take good care of Xiaomei these two days, and pay more attention to safety when you are playing outside." Cheng Nuo said.
"Yes, I will, Aunt He." Long Yixi replied.
"Be careful when driving on the road." He Zikai said to Long Yixi.
"Yeah." Long Yixi nodded and answered Uncle He.
Without further conversation, Long Yixi said hello to Uncle He and Aunt He. After He Xiaomei also said goodbye to her parents, the two left.
Watching Long Yixi's car drive away, Cheng Nuo felt a little uncomfortable.
"Ah Kai, I think I will definitely cry when the day our little beauty gets married." Cheng Nuo said that now his daughter only left him to play for two days, and he felt very reluctant to let go. (To be continued)
