Your dad is the best-looking man I've ever seen in a white shirt
- My dad actually likes you.
When Bai Xiao was sleepy, when he saw this sentence, he woke up for a moment.
She paused, and then replied, "I like and dislike all day long at a young age, beware of me suing your father." ”
————————
Yu Shaoting looked at the new message, especially after reading the second half of the sentence, a smile flashed in his narrow eyes.
It's very light and light, fleeting, and so fast that you can't catch it.
Fingers expertly tapped on the phone's keyboard, and soon a new message appeared.
- My father was very kind to me, so he was reluctant to scold me.
I read it several times and made sure that the tone was correct, so I pressed "send" with confidence.
————————
Bai Xiao simply didn't sleep anymore, leaned on the head of the bed, and continued to chat with "Yu Jingxi" on WeChat.
After reading his reply, Bai Xiao chuckled, he didn't expect him to be a dutiful son, he thought he would secretly dismantle his father's platform.
"It's really not easy for him to raise you alone over the years."
————————
Yu Shaoting changed his posture on the bed again, looking at the lit screen, the corners of his mouth turned up half an arc that even he didn't know.
After about ten seconds, Bai Xiao received a new message.
- My father was worried that I would be bullied by my stepmother, so he didn't marry another wife all these years, and he was busy with work, so he really had a hard time.
In this dead of night, looking at such information, Bai Xiao suddenly felt a little sentimental.
She couldn't help but think of herself.
Wu Xiumei said that she was born to the youngest daughter of the Bai family with a wild man outside, but her grandmother told her that this was not the case, but when she asked again, her grandmother refused to say more.
Whenever she mentioned "Mom", her grandfather would sit under the big tree at the door and smoke, and her grandmother would hide behind the stove and wipe her tears.
Later, she no longer dared to mention her mother, and gradually, the nostalgia for her parents was also buried deep in her childhood memories.
I still remember that when she was in high school, she was framed for stealing another female classmate's famous watch, and the head teacher asked her to call/call her parents, and the last person to take her away was Pei Qiyou, who was waiting at the school gate, and when he heard that Bai Xiao in the twentieth class of high school was caught stealing things, he broke into the school regardless of it.
————————
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 and reorganized a message.
"When Jingxi looks as tall and handsome as your father, and then makes a lot of money, you must be filial to him."
"Yu Jingxi" quickly replied: "Is my dad very handsome?" How do I not think? ”
At night, he was sleepy again, and Bai Xiao felt that he was a little brainless when he spoke.
At a glance at this message, she subconsciously replied, "No, your father is the best-looking man I have ever seen in a white shirt and black suit." ”
By the time she realized her abruptness, it was too late to undo it.
————————
- Your dad is the best-looking man I've ever seen in a white shirt and black suit.
Yu Shaoting stared at this sentence for a long time, and then casually lost his mobile phone, rolled up the soft quilt on himself, and tossed and turned on the big bed.
After tossing for a while, he retrieved his phone again.
"Since he was a child, he has been said to be a hanger, and he looks good in anything."
However, I waited for a long time, really long, about five or six minutes, and I didn't come back there.
Yu Shaoting hesitated, and reissued another one: "Maybe it's because of the style of the clothes." ”
"Ding", a new message came in.
- Jingxi, I'm sorry, I didn't receive a message from here just now, what else did you say before?
Yu Shaoting: "......"
————————
Bai Xiao didn't wait for "Yu Jingxi" to reply to her.
She swiped the dialog box on the screen, her gaze fixed on the last few messages.
- No, your dad is the best-looking man I've ever seen in a white shirt and black suit.
- Maybe it's because of the style of the clothes.
Did you fall asleep while chatting?
Bai Xiao thought about it, but still sent another "good night" to the past, and then turned off the phone and went to sleep.
————————
When Bai Xiao got up the next day, he turned on the phone and subconsciously looked at WeChat.
There is still no new message to show.
Grandma's body has almost recovered, Bai Xiao plans to take her out of the hospital today, Ye Hehuan specially asked for half a day off to drive together.
But when they arrived, they were told that Zhou Aihua in ward 5043 had been picked up.
It didn't take long for Bai Xiao to receive a call from Jiang Yingmei.
When she and Ye Hehuan rushed to Pei's house, they saw her grandmother lying on a bench, half-covered with a blanket and chatting with Jiang Yingmei with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, are you here?" Jiang Yingmei turned her head with a smile and instructed Aunt Rong: "Go and bring some pastries for Xiaoxiao and them." ”
Bai Xiao was already squatting down beside her grandmother, "Grandma, why didn't you tell me when you were discharged from the hospital?" ”
"It's because I didn't think about it thoughtfully," Jiang Yingmei answered, "Xiaoxiao, if you want to blame me, blame me." ”
Grandma held Bai Xiao's hand and smiled kindly, "Isn't this a phone call for you right away?" See you're in a hurry......"
Pei's mother brought her grandmother to Pei's house, and Bai Xiao could probably guess her intention to do so, but Bai Xiao didn't want her grandmother to live here.
"Grandma, it's too much trouble for my mother to live here, so you can go with me to live in the Star Capital."
Ye Hehuan also helped: "Yes, grandma, Bai Xiao has already cleaned up the room, just waiting for you to pass!" ”
In the more than ten years in Pei's house, Bai Xiao has also seen how powerful Mrs. Pei is, and she used to have Pei Lao to protect her, but now she ...... Although Pei's mother treats her well, she is a woman who only looks forward to her mother-in-law, and Bai Xiao is worried that her simple grandmother will be ridiculed by Mrs. Pei here.
"What, can't our Pei family even compare to a small apartment?"
It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived.
Mrs. Pei was helped out of the villa by the maid at home.
Ye Hehuan subconsciously blocked in front of Bai Xiao.
Jiang Yingmei noticed this action, smiled awkwardly, got up and went over to help Mrs. Pei, and said, "Mom, Xiaoxiao is back." ”
Mrs. Pei hummed lightly and sat down on the chair next to Zhou Aihua.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became very cold.
Bai Xiao was about to continue the topic just now and take her grandmother away, but over there, Mrs. Pei suddenly opened her mouth.
"Grandma, since you're here, I'll stay a little longer this time and then go back to Liyang, so that Qiyou and Xiaoxiao can accompany you around more."
Bai Xiao looked at Mrs. Pei in surprise, not only because of her friendly tone, but also because of the "Xiaoxiao".
Living in Pei's house for more than ten years, Mrs. Pei has never called her so kindly, and she has never been so kind to the relatives of the Bai family, Bai Xiao couldn't help but look at Mrs. Pei a few more times, but Mrs. Pei is still the original Mrs. Pei, as graceful as ever, but the expression on her face is surprisingly soft.
Ye Hehuan approached Bai Xiao and muttered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did this old woman take the wrong medicine today?" ”
Bai Xiao pulled her clothes behind her back, and Ye Hehuan didn't continue.
Mrs. Pei had already turned her head to look at Bai Xiao, her face was a little unnatural, but the words she said were not as mean and ugly as before, or rather, they were two extremes, "How annoying is it to move around again?" Let your grandmother live here, and so will you, since you have resigned, you will move back home, and you can take care of your grandmother. ”
Bai Xiao couldn't help but look up at the sky, there was no red rain......
Mrs. Pei coughed embarrassedly: "I was bad before, and you should blame me, but after praying for it, I also figured it out." She paused, looking at Bai Xiao's eyes uncomfortably but with a little sincerity, "It's inconvenient to live outside, let's come back." ”
Bai Xiao didn't answer, and before the atmosphere was awkward, Jiang Yingmei played a round: "Why hasn't Aunt Rong come out yet?" By the way, today I invited the chef of the 'East Palace' at home to make a few Liyang dishes, so you can stay and eat them at noon. ”
Ye He said happily Bai Xiao in one step: "Wow, I've been listening to Xiaoxiao all the time, I haven't really tasted Liyang cuisine!" ”
————————
Ye Hehuan helped Pei Mu to cook vegetables, and Bai Xiao helped his grandmother back to the room to add clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, do you blame your grandmother for not informing you and living in Qiyou's house on her own initiative?"
Bai Xiao: "No, because I know that my grandmother didn't come here because she coveted anything from his family." "It's only because I'm ......
Grandma looked at Bai Xiao, who was half-squatting and sorting out her clothes for herself, and sighed, "You came to see me last night." ”
Bai Xiao's body stiffened, and he looked up at his grandmother.
"I'm old, my eyes are not good, and it's inevitable to recognize the wrong person." The old man stroked Bai Xiao's sideburns, "I know that you are for my good, so I deliberately found someone to lie to me, he ...... It's Kyung-hee's father, right? ”
Bai Xiao didn't expect her grandmother to guess it all at once.
Grandma saw her with a surprised expression and smiled: "I eat more salt than you eat, can't you see it?" Before, I only thought they were in love, but now that I think about it, I should know each other, and I understand by looking at your expression, they are really father and son. ”
"Grandma." Bai Xiao screamed, "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 lost you all these years, and I hope I can forgive him for this grandson-in-law."
Bai Xiao took her grandmother's hand and lowered her face and didn't respond.
Grandma sighed, "He is willing to push you away at the moment of life and death, which means that he still has you in his heart, and I will not force you to forgive him, this time the old lady of the in-laws came to the hospital to pick me up in person, and I didn't want to refute her face, so I agreed to come and live for a few days." ”
"Mrs. Pei went to the hospital to pick you up?" Shirahiro thought he had misheard.
Even if she lives in a demolition house, the old lady who still commands every day will lower her posture to pick up her grandmother who has no identity and no status?
Grandma nodded, "Although I don't know what happened to make her suddenly change her mind, her attitude doesn't look like a fake, it seems that she really accepts you." ”
————————
When Bai Xiao accompanied her grandmother into the restaurant, Pei Qiyou was already sitting at the dining table.
He was wearing a short puffer jacket with a light gray turtleneck sweater, jeans and sneakers, and a bandage on his head, his thin face line softened a lot in the sunlight behind him, and he had a shallow smile on his face, and when he heard the movement, he looked up, and when he saw her, his eyebrows were full of smiles.
Such Pei Qiyou completely clones his appearance when he was twenty years old, young, uninhibited but so pure.
"Grandma, sit here." He had already gotten up and pulled away from the chair next to him.
After grandma sat down, Pei Qiyou pulled out the chair on his left side and looked down at Bai Xiao with a gentle gaze.
At this time, Ye Hehuan came out with a plate of dishes: "Why are you still standing?" Sit down and get ready for dinner! ”
Bai Xiao didn't go to see Pei Qiyou, but he still sat down.
The lunch was very rich, but Bai Xiao had no appetite and ate very little, so she put a peeled lobster in her bowl with a pair of chopsticks.
"Eat more, or you'll get hungry soon."
Bai Xiao looked at the crayfish whose shell had been peeled off, and was a little distracted for a while.
"It's hard to buy this kind of crayfish this season," Jiang Yingmei looked at her eager son and said with a smile, "He must have said that he could buy it, and regardless of his own body, he asked Xiao Wu to drive him around Quanfeng City, and it turned out that he really bought it." ”
Pei Qiyou didn't speak, just lowered his head and continued to peel the lobster.
Bai Xiao tilted his head, and the sight was a small plate of peeled crayfish, and his clean, slender fingers were stained with juice.
She picked up the lobster meat, put it in her mouth and slowly refused, the taste was delicious, and the taste was no worse than that of summer.
Bai Xiao has been fond of crayfish since he was a child, but he is troublesome about peeling lobster shells, so many times even if he is greedy, he is not willing to buy and eat, and later Pei Qiyou found out, so he often took Li Jing out of the river to fish for lobsters, and was scolded by Pei Lao for not doing business all day long.
After they were together, every time they ate lobster, he would peel off the shell beforehand and put the juiced lobster meat in her mouth.
What was her expression at that time?
Leaning on his shoulder, squinting in enjoyment, he would occasionally bow his head and steal incense while she wasn't looking.
————————
"Why don't you go with them to bask in the sun?"
Bai Xiao turned his head and saw Pei Qiyou walking into the kitchen, he had already taken off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and stood next to her.
"Oh, help Aunt Rong wash the dishes first, and then I'll go out later."
Bai Xiao looked as usual, skillfully draining the dirty water from the dishwashing sink and turning on the faucet to put the water.
Pei Qiyou quietly looked at her washing the dishes, and only spoke after a long time: "Xiaoxiao, how long have we not washed the dishes together?" ”
Bai Xiao didn't say anything, and the action of washing the dishes didn't stop.
Pei Qiyou leaned closer to her, reached into the warm water, and gently squeezed her hand.
"Don't make a fuss......" Bai Xiao wanted to withdraw his hand.
Pei Qiyou suddenly hugged her, hugged her sideways in his arms, tightened his arms firmly, smelling the familiar fragrance of oranges, his anxious mood finally eased, his thin lips touched the top of her hair, and his voice was hoarse: "Xiaoxiao, let's go back." ”
"Xiaoxiao, your call!" Ye Hehuan ran in with Bai Xiao's mobile phone.
Bai Xiao had already pushed Pei Qiyou away, she blinked the warmth in the corners of her eyes, and looked at Ye Hehuan when she took the phone: "Who's?" ”
Ye Hehuan glanced at Pei Qiyou, stopped talking, and waved his hand indiscriminately, "You will know the way when you take it." ”
As soon as Bai Xiao put the phone to his ear, Yu Jingxi's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Xiaobai, are you free tonight?" ”
Walking out of the kitchen with his mobile phone and finding a quiet place where no one was around, Bai Xiao replied, "What's wrong?" ”
"Today we assigned a topic to Teacher Yu and asked us to write an essay about parent-child activities, but I have never played parent-child activities, so I ...... Xiaobai, when I get out of school, can you go to my house and make a cake with me? ”
This kind of activity with the word parent-child, to be honest, she is really not qualified to be with him as a teacher in an art center.
Bai Xiao organized the language, and just wanted to refuse euphemistically, Yu Jingxi's expectant and nervous voice came, "Xiaobai, today is my birthday." ”
I was about to blurt out the words, but I choked in my throat after hearing the two "birthdays".
"Every year on my birthday, I spend it with 'Meatball', can I be with you this year?"
Bai Xiao squinted at the sunlight spilling in outside, and after a period of inner struggle, he nodded and agreed, "Well, I'll get in touch later." ”
————————
Yu Jingxi put away the phone/phone contentedly, looked up and asked the man sitting opposite reading the magazine: "Dad, is this arrangement okay?" ”
