The nanny heard the movement and hurriedly went upstairs: "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Xia Lan sat in front of the computer desk, a little distracted, heard the nanny's call, put away her messy thoughts, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay." ”

At his feet, there were broken porcelain tiles.

The nanny wanted to come in and clean up, but Xia Lan stopped her: "You go down first, here, I'll get it done myself." ”

"Oh." The nanny looked at Xia Lan's pale face with concern: "Madam, are you not feeling well?" Polonium"

Xia Lan pulled the corners of his lower lip and rubbed the corners of his forehead: "Maybe I'm a little tired, I wrote the report too late last night, just rest for a while." ”

The nanny went downstairs with confidence.

Xia Lan turned his head and looked at the computer screen that was still on, and on the screen, there was a magnified group photo.

Her gaze was fixed on the face of the young girl on the far right.

The familiar facial features, even after so many years, are still like a brand on her heart, and as the years go by, they become more and more ugly.

Xia Lan looked at the photo, his hand clenched the mouse, and his palms were covered with fine sweat.

She stood up suddenly, walked out of the study quickly and returned to the balcony, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Xu Jingyan's number.

The waiting time is torturous.

A series of words flashed in her mind, City C, Liyang, Bai Ningxuan, she closed her eyes, how could she forget, Liyang is so close to City C......

The phone was connected, and Xu Jingyan's voice came from the other end: "Xia Lan? ”

"Have you eaten?" Xia Lan's voice was as usual, and he couldn't hear anything unusual.

"I just asked ELVA to go down and order food, aren't you going to a seminar today?"

Xia Lan was confused, but his face was not obvious at all: "Well, the seminar has been postponed to tomorrow afternoon, is the event still going well?" ”

"It's okay." Xu Jingyan's tone was unsatisfactory, and he was not particularly satisfied with the students who were selected after the most rejection.

"Not every child is a genius," Xia Lan listened to him, his mood gradually improved, and he smiled lightly: "In this world, how many Einsteins can there be?" ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, but Xia Lan didn't notice the abnormality of Xu Jingyan's mood, so he hung up the phone with peace of mind.

Holding his mobile phone, Xia Lan stood in front of the balcony for a long time, until a chill came from his body.

She turned back to her study, sat in her swivel chair and stared at the photo, then pulled open the penultimate drawer of her desk.

There was a picture frame lying inside, and in the frame was a family photo of their family of three.

Xia Lan opened the photo frame, and under the family photo, she pulled out another photo as if she knew it in advance.

The already very old photograph was taken more than twenty years ago.

Xia Lan looked at the smiling young woman in the photo and laughed at herself, Bai Ningxuan, in fact, you have never left, he has never forgotten you.

The real winner has never been her.

——————————

After eating and coming out of the restaurant, Bai Xiao received a call from the person in charge of the art center, who asked her where she was.

Only then did Bai Xiao remember that they were going back to Fengcheng in the afternoon.

"Okay, let's go back right away." Bai Xiao hung up the phone, turned his head, and urged Yu Jingxi, who was still lying on the edge of the big fish tank, to go back to the room to clean up.

Yu Shaoting sat on the sofa, watching TV, and occasionally glanced at the big and small ones that were cleaned up by walking.

Yu Jingxi folded his little shorts with a serious expression, and Bai Xiao squatted there, putting the luggage back into the trolley case one by one.

When Bai Xiao got up to get skin care products, he saw Yu Shaoting and asked, "Didn't you have work in the afternoon?" ”

"If you're busy, you don't have to stay here with us, we can take a car to meet them later."

Yu Shaoting sat with his legs folded and didn't leave, and Bai Xiao didn't say anything more when he saw that he was so free.

When the call urging from the person in charge came, Bai Xiao had just finished cleaning up: "Well, don't worry, let's go over and see you in fifteen minutes." ”

"I'll send you there." Yu Shaoting got up, walked over, and took the luggage in Bai Xiao's hand.

Yu Jingxi had already carried a big schoolbag and waited at the entrance.

Bai Xiao had no opinion, took his bag, led the little guy to open the door and go out, and the three of them took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot.

When he got into the car, Bai Xiao suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have taken his facial cleanser, and when he rummaged through his luggage, he fell upstairs.

"You give me the room card, and I'll go up and get it." Bai Xiao said.

Yu Shaoting raised his eyes to look at her, did not give the room card, but opened the car door and got out of the car: "I'll go up with you." ”

Bai Xiao glanced at Yu Jingxi beside him, and said to the man standing next to the car, "Then why don't you go and get it, we'll wait here." ”

She didn't feel comfortable leaving a child waiting here alone.

Moreover...... You don't need two people with a bottle of facial cleanser, right?

Yu Shaoting frowned, he opened the door of the back seat, and said in a deep voice: "How do I know where you put it, get out of the car and find it yourself." ”

“……”

Bai Xiao got out of the car and spread his hands at him: "Room card, give it to me." ”

Yu Shaoting didn't look at her, just stood there, and didn't go to his trouser pocket to take out the room card.

Bai Xiao couldn't understand his thoughts, looked at the time, the back seat window suddenly lowered, and Yu Jingxi poked out his little head.

The little guy drank Wangzai, and his eyes slid from one to the other: "What are you two doing?" Aren't you going to take a facial cleanser! ”

Bai Xiao looked at the man in front of her, Yu Shaoting suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the elevator.

"Yu Shaoting, what are you doing? Jing Xi is still in the car! Shirahiro looked at the car as he walked.

"The parking lot is monitored, and he's not a child, what are you worried about."

Bai Xiao: "......"

——————————

Worried about Yu Jingxi, who was alone in the car, Bai Xiao entered the room and immediately ran to the bathroom, and there was no facial cleanser on the washstand.

"How could it not be?" Obviously in the morning, she still used it.

Thinking of returning to the room after eating, Yu Shaoting seemed to have entered the bathroom, and she leaned out halfway: "Did you see my facial cleanser just now?" ”

Yu Shaoting was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the scenery below, and turned his head when he heard her inquiry.

"It's the mint green one." Bai Xiao roughly described it.

"Can't find it?" He walked over to her.

"Or ...... Never mind. Bai Xiao didn't forget that there was still a group of people waiting for her in the hotel over there, and if she delayed any longer, she probably wouldn't be able to catch the train.

Yu Shaoting entered the bathroom, turned around, and stood still by the trash can next to the toilet.

The leather shoes kicked the trash can lightly, and turned to look at her: "Is this it?" ”

Bai Xiao went over and looked, it was not her facial cleanser, which was lying with toilet paper!

"Who did it, such a lack of morality!" It's impossible for Bai Xiao to fish it out, "How can you throw other people's things around." ”

"Jing Xi is still young, and it is normal to be naughty occasionally."

Bai Xiao glanced at the man beside him, and couldn't help complaining: "You just said that he is no longer a child!" ”

Yu Jingxi, who was lying in the car and playing games with his mobile phone, sneezed fiercely, looked left and right, there was no tissue, and he saw a tie at the stall, leaned over, took it, wiped it on his face, wiped his nose clean, and then threw it aside and continued to play the game.

——————————

The facial cleanser was gone, and when Bai Xiao came out of the bathroom, he thought that he would have to set up a rule for the little guy when he went back this time.

We can't let him go on like this again.

"Let's go down." Bai Xiao said to Yu Shaoting behind him.

Yu Shaoting just took off her suit, listened to Bai Xiaoyi, walked to the sofa to get clothes, Bai Xiao looked at his back, slender and straight, his back was very strong, and his long legs were straight, she couldn't help but think of Yu Shaoting when he was not wearing clothes, and his body proportions were so good that it made people squirt blood.

Just as she was thinking wildly, Yu Shaoting had already taken her coat and walked towards her......

He stopped as he approached her, looked down at her beautiful face, and whispered, "Don't go." ”

“……”

Shirahiro thought he had misheard.

Yu Shaoting's voice was a little unnatural, his hands were on her shoulders, holding it gently, the distance between the two was silently shortened, Bai Xiao fluttered his eyelashes, the temperature on his cheeks rose, and Yu Shaoting's handsome face magnified in her sight.

There is a certain height difference between the two.

Yu Shaoting leaned over, turned his head sideways, approached, found her lips, kissed him, Bai Xiao kissed him passively, and his hands touched his chest.

She involuntarily took two steps backwards and hit the wall behind her.

Yu Shaoting followed closely, trapped her in front of the wall and himself, intertwined with her lips and teeth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go back together tomorrow." ”

This time, Bai Xiao was sure that she had heard correctly.

——————————

"Excuse me...... Yes, you go back first, you don't have to help us book tickets. When Bai Xiao called, Yu Jingxi was staring at her beside her.

Putting away the phone, Bai Xiao looked at the little guy next to him: "If you have a question, you can't do it?" ”

Yu Jingxi lay on the tea table, turned his head, and said like a little adult while writing: "I have to go to school tomorrow." ”

"Your dad has already asked your head teacher for leave."

So good? Yu Jingxi glanced at Bai Xiao suspiciously, pursed his lips, and pointed to an arithmetic problem: "I can't do this." ”

Yu Shaoting had already gone out, Bai Xiao was staying at the hotel with Yu Jingxi, and she took the opportunity to call the manager of Hongyuan's department and tell him that she wanted to take a day off.

"Excuse me? It's okay if you can't come back, it's fun. The department manager smiled and was very polite in his words.

After Bai Xiao finished the phone call, she saw Yu Jingxi tiptoeing and pouring boiling water, she hurriedly went over, for fear that he would be hot: "I'll help you pour it." ”

"What were you doing in the room with your dad just now?" The little one suddenly came over mysteriously.

Bai Xiao didn't answer, but asked him: "You still say, who threw my facial cleanser into the trash?" ”

"......" Yu Jingxi looked dazed, and his wet eyes seemed to say: "What kind of facial cleanser, I don't know what to do." ”

Bai Xiao gave him the water cup, and the little guy took it, took a sip, and a little face was about to get into the cup.

"I can't do it again next time, or I'll be served by the family law."

"But I really didn't do anything." Yu Jingxi looked up and felt that he had been wronged.

Bai Xiao took back the water cup, and Yu Jingxi smashed his mouth: "I haven't finished drinking it yet." ”

"If you don't change your mistakes, the cup will be confiscated, and you will go back to do your homework."

“……”

——————————

Yu Shaoting came back in the evening, Bai Xiao looked at him as if he was very free, couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Are you not busy with work?" ”

She heard more than one person say that he was very busy on weekdays and was often away from home.

Yu Shaoting ignored her, and picked up Yu Jingxi, who was watching a cartoon: "Change your shoes and go out to eat." ”

Dinner was eaten in a restaurant next to the hotel, Yu Jingxi has always been attracted by the music in the international plaza next to it, as soon as he returned to the hotel, entered the room, turned on the TV and stereo, took the microphone that he didn't know where to find it, and shouted to sing.

Yu Jingxi is a child who sings out of tune, but he doesn't know what to say, and his emotions are high from 'red star shining' to 'I have a little donkey at home', Yu Shaoting got up several times to turn off the stereo, but was pulled by Bai Xiao, who looked at him with disapproval.

Yu Shaoting turned his head to look at Bai Xiao, his brows furrowed, obviously not agreeing with her connivance.

As soon as Yu Jingxi finished singing, Bai Xiao applauded the venue, the little guy put down the microphone, a little embarrassed, Bai Xiao brought him water.

"Thank you." The little one's cheeks flushed.

Maybe he was tired of singing, Yu Jingxi drank a glass of water and offered to take a bath to get ready for bed.

Bai Xiao put out the bath water for her son, cheerful nursery rhymes were still playing in the room, Yu Shaoting was still sitting there smoking, she couldn't see the expression on his face through the smoke, she walked over, opened a small window, dredged the air, and was about to turn off the TV and stereo, but Yu Shaoting suddenly picked up the microphone and handed it to her.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

“……”

The last time Bai Xiao sang was in high school, her cheeks were red, she held the microphone, and said stupidly: "I can't sing." ”

As for Yu Shaoting's reaction when Yu Jingxi sang just now, she thought that he didn't like to listen to people sing.

"I really can't sing." Shirashino said.

"Then how did you get on stage to participate in the Top Ten Singer Contest when you were in middle school?" Yu Shaoting exposed her lies at once.

“…… I was forced at that time. Bai Xiao paused and looked at him: "How do you know that I have participated in the top ten singers?" ”

Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, just picked up the remote control and switched the song to a love song sung by a man and a woman.

It is very familiar to Bai Xiao, and he just heard it in Zheng Qi's car a few days ago.

When the music played, Bai Xiao glanced at the unhappy man on the sofa, but helplessly, he turned on the microphone and sang hard.

"There are no ups and downs of emotions because of you, after appearing to break through the calm and shake my already closed heart......"

Bai Xiao's voice is very soft and clean, she has shown extraordinary talent in music since she was a child, some songs are even better than the original singing, but at this moment, in front of Yu Shaoting, or rather, she is singing under the gaze of his eyes, obviously a little out of shape, and she sings out of tune for several notes.

"Just let me love you, without myself...... Even if there is not much left of life. Bai Xiao felt that he couldn't sing anymore.

A lingering melody lingers in the room.

Yu Shaoting kept staring at her intently, her eyes were so deep that she couldn't see the content clearly, her cheeks were red, and she sang half a song, the man who was originally sitting suddenly got up, the cigarette butt in his hand was extinguished in the ashtray, grabbed the microphone and threw it on the tea table, and picked her up.

Yu Jingxi's children's voice came from the bathroom: "Xiaobai? Can you get me a towel? ”

"Hey!" Bai Xiao suppressed his voice and struggled to get off Yu Shaoting's body.

He hugged her tightly, and somehow opened the door of the room, Bai Xiao was anxious: "What are you doing?" ”

"Sleep with you."

“……”

Bai Xiao felt that Yu Shaoting had planned this before, otherwise, how could he have opened another room next to him?!

Yu Jingxi came out of the bathroom with a foam on his head, came out barefoot, and looked around: "Dad? Father? Xiaobai? Guys? ”

——————————

Bai Xiao was tossed by Yu Shaoting, and when he returned to the original room, Yu Jingxi was already asleep, but before going to bed, he secretly ate a bag of potato chips.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the child's innocent sleeping face, Bai Xiao thought of her grandmother, and for some reason, she missed the old man very much.

"Tomorrow morning, I want to see my grandmother." Before falling asleep, Bai Xiao suddenly said.

Yu Shaoting turned off the lights for a moment, turned his head to look at her, looked at her delicate and moving little face, and his heart moved: "Okay, I'll send you over after I'm done." ”

"No, I'll get up early tomorrow and go over by myself, and when you're done, I guess I'll be back, and we'll go back to Fengcheng together."
