Bai Xiao received a call from Yu Shaoting when she was ready for dinner, saying that the company had something to do, so she and Jing Xi didn't have to wait for him to eat.

She held her phone and glanced at Yu Jingxi, the little guy was sitting at the dining table peeling river shrimp and peeling it vigorously.

Noticing her "resentful" gaze, Yu Jingxi looked up, and kept moving her hands: "I'm used to it, let's eat quickly." ”

Bai Xiao sat down and watched him constantly eliminate the seafood on the table, and asked, "Actually, you are the one who loves seafood, right?" ”

Yu Jingxi broke the crab shell for a moment, and snorted twice: "Anyway, he won't come back to eat, so he can't waste it." Look"

Bai Xiao couldn't help but flick his head, Yu Jingxi pretended to glare at her angrily, and continued to bow his head to fight with the seafood.

——————————

Bai Xiao didn't have much appetite, so he ate half a bowl of rice, but the little guy ate two small bowls before he was willing to get off the table.

"You can't do this, my father is very busy with work, if you really marry him in the future, do you have to get used to knowing the way?"

Yu Jingxi went to the living room to watch TV with a can of coconut juice, and did not forget to enlighten Bai Xiao, who was guilty of "lovesickness".

Bai Xiao knocked his little head: "You still have more than a dozen pages of homework to finish, right?" School will start the day after tomorrow! ”

The little guy wailed, glared at her plaintively, pulled the big schoolbag and lay on the coffee table and began to do homework.

Bai Xiao cleaned up the dining table, thought about it and sent a text message to Yu Shaoting: "Have you had dinner?" ”

After a long time, Bai Xiao tutored Yu Jingxi with two pages of homework, and then he replied: "I'm in a meeting." ”

Three simple words, but it soothed her hanging heart.

Bai Xiao saw that he should be very busy, hesitated for a while, and sent another message: "What time will you come back?" I'll prepare a supper for you. ”

"No, I may not go back too late, rest early."

Yu Jingxi looked up from the homework book and looked at Bai Xiao, who was staring at his phone: "Did he say he wouldn't come back?" I guessed it. ”

Bai Xiao looked at him with a smug look of "it was really as I thought", and also pretended to point to a fill-in-the-blank question in the homework book.

The little guy pursed the corners of his lips and took a pencil and twisted and wrote on it.

——————————

When the hour hand pointed to "10", Yu Jingxi yawned and sat on a small bench in the bathroom and washed his feet by Bai Xiao.

He was playing with a toy gun he had bought at a roadside shop in the evening, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Shirashio.

Fortunately, he was smart and knew that he would "transfer the tiger away from the mountain", saying that he was going to the fifth floor and actually slipped away from the freight elevator with Xiaobai, otherwise he would have to be entangled by the one called gasoline!

When Bai Xiao took a towel to wipe his feet, he couldn't help but say, "That...... It looks like your former husband is getting married to my cousin. ”

Bai Xiao nodded: "Yes." ”

"And do you still like him?"

Bai Xiao raised his head, met his black and bright eyes, and said, "You wrote the love letter to Xu Meimei yourself, right?" ”

Yu Jingxi suddenly felt weak, and turned his head away from looking at her.

Bai Xiao put his thick and soft little feet into his slippers and patted his calves: "Get up." ”

Yu Jingxi didn't go back to the bedroom, but followed her with the toy gun that cost more than a dozen yuan, and said tirelessly: "I don't like that gasoline." ”

Bai Xiao smiled when he heard this: "It's not you who is engaged to him, as long as your sister likes it." ”

"What about you? Do you still like him? ”

Bai Xiao didn't expect a child to be so affectionate and lovely, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yu Jingxi saw that she was silent, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and snorted on her face: "He is not as good-looking as Yu Shaoting!" ”

Seeing him call Yu Shaoting's name seriously, Bai Xiao was amused by him, and heard him say again: "Although it is a little worse than me, compared to ordinary men, Yu Shaoting is still very good, but his temper is a little worse." ”

When Bai Xiao carried him to bed and undressed him, he was still saying, "You, now that you are with Yu Shaoting, you can't be watery Yang Hua anymore." ”

"That's how water-based poplars are used?" Bai Xiao was speechless by his pretending to be old.

"Doesn't that mean that?" Yu Jingxi rolled his eyes at her: "Anyway, if you want to see gasoline in the future, do you have to take me to Zhilu Dao?" ”

"I didn't want to see him."

"Then he might want to come and see you!"

Speaking of this possibility, Yu Jingxi suddenly lost his sleepiness, and stared at Bai Xiao in the quilt: "You have to be obedient, otherwise something big will happen." ”

"For example?" Shirahiro wanted to tease him.

"Yu Shaoting is very angry and terrible, I can't help you when the time comes."

Bai Xiao nodded cooperatively, and Yu Jingxi came over: "If you are lonely, you can also find me, I can still find some time to accompany you." ”

A popping chestnut knocked on the top of his head.

Seeing his grinning little appearance, Bai Xiao got up: "It's half past ten, go to sleep!" ”

When she was about to turn off the lights and leave, Yu Jingxi poked her head out of the quilt again: "I start school the day after tomorrow, will you take me to report or Dad?" ”

In the past, when he was abroad, Aunt Li took him to report, and when he was a transfer student last semester, his grandmother took him to the school.

Bai Xiao looked at his thief's sparkling eyes: "How about going with you?" ”

The little guy snorted and writhed in the quilt, and the whole person shrunk into a ball at the end of the day, and a muffled "good night" came out.

——————————

Bai Xiao returned to the master bedroom and lay on the bed for a while without sleeping.

I put on my coat and go to the kitchen, take out the dumplings I bought at the supermarket from the refrigerator and put them on the counter until they melt, and then sit down at the dining table.

She occasionally glances at her phone, occasionally gets up and walks around, and occasionally lays down on the table for a while.

When it was almost early in the morning, her eyelids fell straight down, and she turned her head to look at the door, but there was still no movement.

The most taboo thing for people when they are busy at work is to be disturbed again and again, and after thinking about it for a long time, they don't send text messages and make phone calls after all.

Bai Xiao stared at the name on the lit phone screen, and took out a steel hammer from his coat pocket: "If the flower is facing up, it won't come back." ”

She placed the hammer on her thumbnail, flicked it lightly, reached out to catch it, and then slowly opened her palm, the flower facing up.

It seems that I forgot whether the flowers are facing up and not coming back or the words are facing up and not coming back......

Lost it again, word up, back. She put away the steel hammer, leaned back on the table, and glanced at her phone, it was zero o'clock.

Bai Xiao didn't remember why he fell asleep, and he had a very miscellaneous dream in a daze.

The picture at the beginning of the dream is Pei Zhai, which is not as delicate as today's decoration, but it is also full of atmosphere, Pei Jinyuan is sitting on crutches on the dining table, and the rest of the Pei family is on both sides, a beautifully dressed little girl is led downstairs by a nanny, with a timid expression on her little face.

Pei Jinyuan smiled and beckoned to the little girl: "Xiaoxiao, come here grandpa!" ”

The little girl was picked up and sat on Pei Jinyuan's lap, and called "grandpa" weakly.

Pei Jinyuan laughed, pointed to the boy in a small suit sitting on the left side and asked the little girl, "Then what do you call him?" ”

The little girl opened a pair of big black and white eyes, looked at the boy with nervousness and shyness, and called crisply: "Little brother." ”

……

The picture rotates slightly, and the handsome boy becomes a heroic man.

In the bathroom of the dimly lit demolition room, the weather was very cold that year, and she was screwing the sheets with her hands, because Pei's mother, who was sick the night before, vomited on the bed and soiled the sheets, Pei Qiyou came in and stood opposite her, helping her wring the water on the sheets together, but held her hand after the worst.

"When I get paid this month, I'll buy a washing machine."

She coveted the warmth of his palm, and shook his hand, which was much rougher than before: "How good it is to wash it by hand, it is cleaner than washing it in a washing machine." ”

Pei Qiyou looked down at her, with apology and emotion in his eyes, took her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

"It won't be too long, Xiaoxiao, believe me, I won't let you suffer again when I have money!"

She leaned on his shoulder, hugged him back, and smiled: "I believe in you." ”

……

The camera suddenly shifts again, and she sees herself lying on a hospital bed with a big belly to be examined.

Through the curtain between the partitions, she heard Secretary Zhang say to the doctor: "It's better to have a smooth delivery, a caesarean section is not good for the child." ”

Back at the villa, she was greeted by a nutritious meal for pregnant women and the soft sound of music in the house.

She is like a puppet, doing the same thing day after day and month after month.

……

As soon as the picture turned, everything she had dreamed about before was instantly shattered, and she saw Pei Jinyuan again, sitting in the study with a cane.

She heard Pei Jinyuan say: "I have raised you for so many years, and as a result, I raised a white-eyed wolf, have you forgotten what you promised me?" ”

The door to the study opened, and a well-dressed young woman walked in, her face unrecognizable, but her voice was very soft.

That voice she would hear every day during pregnancy, over the phone.

"I let you be a surrogate, you are good, you took my money, and even my husband and son were snatched away after the worst time!"

At some point, Mrs. Yu appeared on the sofa with tears on her face: "Teacher Bai, in fact, you are Zhengdong's daughter, and you can't be with the third child." ”

Xu Shuyuan, who was originally standing on the side gently, suddenly turned into a giant python, opened her bloody mouth and pounced on her.

——————————

I didn't want to rob your husband, Jingxi is my son......

Bai Xiao wanted to argue loudly, but her throat was blocked and she couldn't make a sound, and in her ears, someone seemed to be calling her name.

In the dream, Su Manrong suddenly walked towards her with a hideous face, raised a hand and slapped it down: "Tell you to seduce/seduce my little brother-in-law!" ”

Bai Xiao only felt a faint pain in her cheeks, not dreamy, but real, as if someone was really patting her face, but the strength was much lighter than Su Manrong in the dream, and a low and powerful male voice sounded through the fog: "Bai Xiao, Bai Xiao ......"

The eyelids were heavy, she tried to open her eyes, and saw Yu Shaoting squatting at her feet, frowning and patting her cheek.

He still held the car keys in his other hand, the leather shoes on his feet had not been changed, and the hem of his coat was dragged to the ground, looking like a dusty man.

The lights in the restaurant fell on Yu Shaoting's body, so real that she couldn't believe it, and she looked at him in a daze, but the fear in her heart dissipated a lot.

"What did you dream about?" Yu Shaoting's low voice was very gentle, and her fingertips brushed the corners of her eyes.

Shira's scattered eyes gradually focused, and he noticed that the door of the apartment was still wide open, and the light in the hallway leaked in to illuminate the entrance.

She shook her head, her face was a little pale, and there was sweat on her forehead, but she said softly, "It's okay, are you hungry?" ”

Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, picked her up by the waist, sent her back to the master bedroom, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt: "Sleep." ”

Bai Xiao looked up at his slightly tired eyebrows: "Didn't you have dinner?" ”

Yu Shaoting really didn't eat dinner, but looking at her pair of watery eyes, he said in a ghostly way: "I've eaten." ”

"Then I'll make you a supper." Bai Xiao made a gesture and was about to get up.

Yu Shaoting grabbed her, and sat down on the edge of the bed by herself, without taking off her shoes, her slender legs resting on the edge of the bed, in an uncomfortable posture.

There was only one bedside lamp in the bedroom, and the light was soft but dim.

"What did you dream about just now, crying and shouting?"

He asked very casually, but Bai Xiao's heart seemed to be pressed by a boulder: "It's nothing, I dreamed that a snake was going to eat me." ”

"Then you're going to let it bite you?"

Bai Xiao's heart palpitated, and Xu Shuyuan's questioning in the dream was still clearly audible.

She leaned closer to Yu Shaoting's side, smelled the smell of tobacco on his body and felt a little relieved, and said sullenly: "I can't beat her again." ”

The living can never fight the dead......

Yu Shaoting looked down at her eyelashes, hugged her shoulders and leaned into his arms: "If you have nothing to do, teach Jingxi to do your homework, don't think nonsense all day long." ”

"I'm not cranky." Bai Xiao couldn't help but retort, she didn't think about it, but those people and things were pestering her.

Yu Shaoting let go of her: "I'll take a shower, you go to sleep first." ”

Watching him go out and hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, Bai Xiao curled up in the quilt, and there was actually a faint fear in his heart.

It is said that she thinks about it day and night, but she doesn't think much about it, but she still dreams about it, is it a bad omen?

——————————

Yu Shaoting came out of the shower, and a bowl of freshly cooked dumplings was placed on the table, steaming hot.

He stood at the table, wiping his hair with a towel and then turned his head to look in the direction of the bedroom, where the occupants were already asleep.

He stared down at the bowl and slept for a long time, then turned back to his room.

Bai Xiao may have been exhausted by the nightmare just now, and lay on his side wrapped in the quilt, sleeping soundly.

Yu Shaoting sat down on the edge of the bed, quietly looked at her tired sleeping face, slowly leaned down, thin lips gently printed on the corners of her eyes, straightened up for her, took the mobile phone, cigarettes, and lighters in the coat pocket and went to the balcony, without forgetting to turn around and close the sliding door separated from the master bedroom.

——————————

When Yu Zhanming received Yu Shaoting's call, he was dreaming of scolding Fang Xuan on the battlefield of China and Vietnam when he was young.

But I was woken up in the middle of the night, especially when I picked up the landline and heard Yu Shaoting's voice, without saying a word, I just put the phone away, pulled out the phone line, lay back in the quilt, and scolded: "Bastard boy, if you don't make me angry, you have to toss me to death!" ”

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Yu Zhanming, who had just felt a little sleepy, was awakened coldly, and took off his blindfold angrily and sat up: "Who? ”

The door opened, and the secretary in pajamas came in with his mobile phone: "Old chief, the third young man said that he was looking for you for something." ”

"I don't know him!" Yu Zhanming's face swayed, and he turned around and lay back in the bed.

The secretary couldn't smile bitterly, and the old chief's temper was that he didn't recognize his six relatives.

Yu Zhanming was lying with his back to the secretary, and heard the secretary say a few words to the other end of the phone, and then the secretary called him again: "Old chief, the third young man said that there is really something urgent." ”

"He's in a hurry!" Yu Zhanming snorted coldly, "Tell him, don't say it's early in the morning, even if he kneels in front of me at this time, I won't agree!" ”

——————————

Yu Shaoting stood in front of the balcony window, the glass window was opened by him, and the cold air at night thinned the smell of cigarettes.

Without the secretary to convey it, he had already heard the loud voice of Chief of General Staff Yu, and instead of putting aside the phone as usual, he said: "Secretary Liang, ask him for me, does he still want to know who Dao Jingxi's mother is?" ”

It wasn't Secretary Liang's polite voice over there, Yu Zhanming's angry roar sounded: "You don't fucking threaten me, do you think I don't know anything about you?" ”

"That's okay, since you don't want to know the way, I don't bother to say it." Yu Shaoting was about to press the phone.

Yu Zhanming suddenly spoke: "Who is the child's mother?" ”

"It's not early, let's rest."

"Bastard thing! You're playing with me! ”

Yu Shaoting took another puff of cigarette, and white smoke slowly rose from his eyes: "I'm afraid that if I say it, you will have to go to the hospital immediately." ”
