Dad, are you out of love?
Yu Shaoting stood up straight, his face was slightly gloomy, and he quietly looked at the two people who were hugging each other opposite.
Pei Qiyou's hand holding Bai Xiao was heavy, as if his own territory had entered/entered the invader, and the two men looked at each other silently.
Bai Xiao felt that the scene in front of her was very dramatic, and she didn't expect that Yu Shaoting would squat at the door of the apartment.
When did he stand at the door? Why did he come here? How long has he been waiting?
A few questions came one after another, Bai Xiao only felt that her brain was swelling uncomfortably, and she couldn't think of a reason to iron it.
Over there, Yu Shaoting had already pinched off the cigarette butt, and when he walked over, Bai Xiao's heart couldn't help beating faster, and he slowed down less than a meter away from Pei Qiyou, almost at the moment when he rubbed shoulders, he took a long leg and crossed them towards the entrance of the building.
As he passed by, because he was close, a crisp breath swept across Bai Xiao's cheeks, mixed with a very faint smell of tobacco.
Bai Xiao looked at the entrance of the building, there was no one anymore, he seemed to have accidentally walked through the wrong door, and after finding that the master's house was not the person he was looking for, he turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation, and did not talk nonsense.
——————————
Pei Qiyou carried Bai Xiao into the bedroom, carefully placed her on the side of the bed, and then squatted down to take off her socks.
Bai Xiao retracted his feet, "Now you can go, right?" ”
He squatted on the edge of the bed and lowered his head, "I'll look at your feet first, and if it's okay, I'll leave." ”
Bai Xiao refused to let him touch it, went straight to the bed, rolled up the quilt over his body, turned his back to him and closed his eyes.
Pei Qiyou looked at Bai Xiao's back curled up on the bed, and the dim light stretched his figure.
Bai Xiao knew that he didn't leave, but he didn't want to face him, he wanted to be out of sight and out of mind, but he found that his heart was numb, I don't know how long it took, the bedroom door was gently opened and slowly closed, she opened her eyes and stared at the floor lamp next to the bed, her eyes were very uncomfortable, as if she had drilled into the fine sand.
——————————
Pei Qiyou walked out of the apartment building, and suddenly felt that the whole person was weightless, and he couldn't find a sense of belonging.
He didn't leave immediately, but sat on a bench by the lawn and looked for the apartment where Shirahiro was, but all he saw was darkness.
The phone buzzed in his trouser pocket.
As soon as Pei Qiyou picked it up, there was a sound of whirring sound on the other end.
"Brother Qiyou, my old man said that the matter in Hengzhou is quite involved, and it is estimated that it will not be long to press, and now there are many people who have been dragged in and talked to, and none of them have been released at present, I am afraid that it will continue like this...... You'd better be prepared to avoid being implicated in the future. ”
Pei Qiyou has today's achievements in just a few years, and there will naturally be a disgraceful part of the company's business.
Li Jing was silent suddenly, and said after a long time: "Actually, it's just such a small problem, if you move quickly, the matter can be solved satisfactorily, if you really can't hide it, that is, go to the detention center for a few days, and then I will let my old man talk about it, and it will come out soon......"
Pei Qiyou leaned over, holding the mobile phone in his right hand, supporting his knee with his left elbow, and brushing his face with his big hand, staying at the end of his mouth.
He looked up at the room where the lights were out, and the street lights pierced his eyes.
"Li Jing, do you think I'm really a bastard?"
"Didn't we have a good discussion before?" Li Jing's voice was a little anxious, "Brother Qiyou, don't tell me that you changed your mind?" ”
Pei Qiyou did not speak.
"Can this kind of thing be changed casually? If you regret it, you ...... what you did before" Li Jing took a deep breath: "It's better than going in by yourself, unless you want to watch Pei's family, who finally got up, fall down again." ”
Pei Qiyou directly cut off the phone, he slowly leaned back in the chair, and suddenly felt unprecedented cold.
Bai Xiao used her own body to surrogate others in exchange for 10 million to do business for him, and the truth is often so ridiculous.
A new text message came in on my phone. It's an unfamiliar mobile phone number.
- I've finished my trip around the world and plan to return to China the day after tomorrow, do you want to pick me up? About 3:30 p.m. to the airport.
Pei Qiyou looked at this text message steadily, and what he remembered in his mind was the encounter he had not long ago on a business trip to South Korea-
The girl who was as beautiful as an elf, wearing a big red coat, like a child who had stolen adult clothes, wearing a cute Lei Feng hat, got into his car, put her white and tender little hands on her lips, looked at him pitifully, and said softly, "Please, please".
For countless nights after that, that beautiful and innocent little face always appeared in his dreams.
She followed him childishly, bouncing around: "It turns out that you are a charter man......"
Facing his cold eyes, she pursed her cherry blossom-like lips aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, okay, okay, it's in the real estate business." ”
Pei Qiyou thought back to the girl, but her face gradually coincided with Bai Xiao, or rather, with the sixteen-year-old Bai Xiao, and she smiled so happily at him, just like when she was sixteen years old, under the boulevard, Bai Xiao smiled while putting a band-aid on him.
Before he returned to China, the girl forcibly took his business card, and she shook the business card between her fingers while walking backwards, and smiled: "If I plan to go back to China one day, I will call you." With that, she jumped on the tour bus with a big duffel bag on her back.
It's just that suddenly he couldn't tell who he was thinking about now, the girl he met by accident...... Or Shirashino?
The heartbeat of that moment on Jeju Island made the twenty-eight-year-old feel like he had returned to the summer when he was willing to fight for Baekshino.
——————————
Yu Shaoting returned to Qinyuan with a straight face, and Yu Jingxi was sitting on the sofa, occasionally poking his brain at the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he threw away his pillow and ran over, "Dad, where is Xiaobai?" ”
Yu Jingxi was no longer the padded jacket he wore when he went to the "East Palace" for dinner at noon, he changed into a small suit, which fits very well, his face is pink and pink, his lips are red and his teeth are white, as if he has put on makeup, his curly hair is also waxed, and he is wearing a British-style tweed jacket with a large lapel.
In the afternoon, Yu Jingxi specially invited Qian Yue over to design his look tonight, and he also hung a small red bow tie around his neck.
This is the first official date between him and Xiaobai.
"Dad, why don't you speak?" Yu Jingxi followed behind Yu Shaoting, but unfortunately the little short legs were no match for the big long legs, and he soon fell into a big section, but he was not discouraged, ran over and looked up and asked, "Didn't you go to pick up Xiaobai?" ”
Yu Shaoting stopped, turned his head to see his son who was dressed seriously, how did he look unpleasant, especially the red bow tie, which was simply a drop of dazzling mosquito blood: "What are you wearing like this at night?" Have you done your homework? Don't go back to your room yet. ”
"But we said we would have dinner with Xiaobai in the evening!" Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, and went upstairs directly to the room, and when he came out again, Yu Jingxi was already waiting at the door with a big schoolbag.
He immediately frowned: "Don't be at the door." ”
Yu Jingxi looked at his little watch and said sweetly: "It's a little late, but there should be food to eat." ”
As he spoke, he found a problem, Yu Shaoting had changed into loungewear.
"Dad, how do you dress like this and go out to eat? Although I don't dislike you, I'll be left out. ”
Yu Shaoting didn't even glance at him, went downstairs to the kitchen again, and poured a glass of boiling water to drink.
Yu Jingxi had already followed, standing behind and pursing his lips to look at him, Yu Shaoting turned his head: "What are you staring at me?" ”
"Dad, are you out of love?"
Yu Shaoting's movement of raising his head to drink water was slightly sluggish.
Yu Jingxi has already said with his head open: "Actually, it's nothing, Dad, I have also gone through a lot of detours before, and now when I meet Xiaobai, I know who is the most suitable for me, I believe that you will meet your Xiaobai one day." ”
Before the words fell, Yu Shaoting had already walked past him out of the kitchen, and he didn't even shake him.
When Yu Jingxi came out, he heard Yu Shaoting instructing Aunt Li to make dinner, and his face was hurt and incredulous, "Dad, aren't we going out?" ”
The "meatballs" on the side also shouted "whooping" to express their dissatisfaction.
Yu Shaoting swept away with an impatient look-
"Meatball" suddenly stopped screaming, and swooped into Yu Jingxi's back, poking out a pair of squinting eyes.
Looking at Yu Shaoting didn't look like a joke, Yu Jingxi's heart was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, but he still wanted to fight for it: "Dad, Uncle Lu said that it is necessary to pay for canceling the reservation of a good box in the East Palace, and it is very expensive." ”
What responded to Yu Jingxi was the bedroom door that was slammed shut.
——————————
Shirahiro was woken up by a sprain at his ankle when he turned over.
It was dawn outside, she sat down from the bed, lifted the quilt, and found that her left ankle was red and swollen, and she couldn't walk because of the pain when she got off the ground.
"Hehuan!" Bai Xiao went to knock on the next bedroom, but there was no response inside.
At this moment, the voice of the seater in the living room rang.
"Xiaoxiao, Qin Shousheng and I are going to attend a birthday party for the rich second generation, we went to sea last night and will go back in three days!"
Bai Xiao looked at his injured leg and had a headache, but he still said something to make them pay attention to safety, and then hung up the phone.
She limped to the refrigerator to get some ice, wrapped it in a towel and pressed it on the red and swollen area, until the pain was numb, she got up and went back to the room to change into a sweatshirt and loose yoga pants, put on a coat and took the bag, put on board shoes at the entrance and went out to the hospital.
The Star Capital is a low-rise apartment building, so there is no elevator.
Bai Xiao held on to the handrail, crossed one leg and struggled, jumping down step by step with one foot, which was a little funny and difficult.
As soon as she finished walking one floor, she was so tired that a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Bai Xiao held her breath, and when she continued to walk down, perhaps because she had been exerting too much force just now, her right foot suddenly went soft, and when her face was about to hit the sharp concrete steps, her whole body was supported and fell into a wide embrace.
Pei Qiyou half-hugged her in his arms, and the breakfast that he had originally carried in his hand was sprinkled on the ground, and a fragrant smell of soy milk wafted all over the corridor.
"Are there any injuries?"
Bai Xiao stood up with his feet on the ground, leaned against the wall, and pushed him away.
"I called/called Hehuan and she said she wasn't home." Pei Qiyou looked at Bai Xiao, who was leaning against the wall to stand firmly.
Bai Xiao didn't look at him, and was about to go downstairs with his injured leg.
He pulled her arm, then turned around and squatted down in front of her: "You have a sprained foot, I'll take you to the hospital." ”
"Pei Qiyou, can you not do this?" Bai Xiao didn't move: "Actually, I really don't want to see you." ”
"Are you going to limp from the fourth floor to the entrance of the community?"
"That's my own business." Bai Xiao didn't start, "It has nothing to do with you." ”
Pei Qiyou had already stood up, staring at her with indescribable feelings, "You are my wife, why does it have nothing to do with me?" ”
A familiar sentence made the corridor suddenly quiet.
Bai Xiao didn't let him carry it, and stubbornly walked from the fourth floor to the first floor, Pei Qiyou didn't force her anymore, just followed quietly.
——————————
Bai Xiao came out after watching the doctor, Jiang Yingmei was sitting on a chair in the corridor, and when she saw her, she immediately greeted her worriedly.
"Qiyou called/called me to say that you sprained your leg, what did the doctor say, is it serious?"
Pei Qiyou disappeared from the corridor.
Bai Xiao didn't push Pei's mother away, and let her support her to walk slowly step by step, "It's no big problem, just rest for a few days." ”
"Is there anyone in the family to take care of you?"
"I can take care of myself with this little injury, Mom, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Yingmei heard the implication: "Your roommate is not here?" How can I trust you to live alone when you're like this? ”
"I'm really fine......"
Jiang Yingmei had a serious expression and stared at Bai Xiao: "Since you still call me Mom, then you have to listen to me in this matter." ”
Bai Xiao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Jiang Yingmei raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Even if you are not my daughter-in-law, you can be my daughter, you were only so old when you came back with my father-in-law, I have watched you grow up all these years, do you even want to refuse to take care of you?"
"Not ......"
"Since it's not, then listen to me obediently and go back to Pei's house for a few days."
Jiang Yingmei didn't allow Bai Xiao to refuse, "If you don't want to see Qiyou, I'll let him live outside." ”
For Bai Xiao, Pei Jinyuan is her weakness.
The grace of nurturing is greater than the grace of childbirth, although Pei Jinyuan's reason for taking care of her is not pure, it is undeniable that he is really good to her.
If it weren't for him, he and his grandmother might have been killed in a car accident long ago, and it would have been impossible to live a life of abundance and food later.
As long as the matter involves Pei Jinyuan, Bai Xiao will look at the Buddha face even if he doesn't look at the monk's face, Jiang Yingmei felt that he was a little despicable, and he actually thought of taking his father-in-law to pinch Bai Xiao, but there was no way for his son.
——————————
Bai Xiao packed a few changes of clothes in the Xingyu capital and went back to Pei's house with Jiang Yingmei.
She still lives in her old bedroom, which is cleaned and the sheets and coverings are new.
"Do you still like it? I hurriedly asked Aunt Rong to arrange it just now. Jiang Yingmei stood by the door with a smile.
Bai Xiao: "Mom, there's actually no need to be so troublesome, I'll go back to live when my feet are better." ”
Jiang Yingmei didn't say much, and smiled and told Aunt Rong to prepare lunch. Bai Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers touching the cold new quilt cover, but his heart was a little dazed.
As Jiang Yingmei said, Pei Qiyou didn't come back to sleep after she moved in, but she vaguely felt that Pei Qiyou should come back.
When she got up in the morning, Bai Xiao saw a little soot on the floor by the balcony, proving that what she saw in her sleepiness last night was not an illusion, someone entered her bedroom, sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her, and then went to the balcony to smoke, this person will not have a second person in Pei's house except Pei Qiyou.
Bai Xiao stayed at Pei's house for three days, and her feet were almost better.
In the morning, when she went downstairs, she saw Pei Qiyou sitting in the dining room talking to Pei's mother.
After a few days of not seeing him, his spirit has improved a lot, and the gauze on his head has been removed, although he is thin, his facial lines are more and more three-dimensional.
"Xiaoxiao, come back." Jiang Yingmei beckoned happily as soon as she saw Bai Xiao, "In the afternoon, I want to accompany Mr. Liu of Puxing Group to play golf, do you remember?" It's the Mrs. Liu who liked you to pull you to go shopping last time. ”
Bai Xiao glanced at Pei Qiyou, and Jiang Yingmei continued: "Mr. Liu will bring his wife over today, I think, it's not good to pray for you to go alone, my old identity is not suitable, you can accompany him to play, just relax." ”
When Bai Xiao was Pei Qiyou's assistant, she dealt with the boss's wife a lot, but she has now resigned and doesn't like to socialize anymore, and Pei Qiyou has always been short of female companions, when will it be her turn?
