"Jing Xi!" Bai Xiao avoided passers-by and called out breathlessly to the familiar figure.

A young woman followed Yu Jingxi and touched his head tenderly, as if she was talking to him.

Hearing Bai Xiao's call, Yu Jingxi turned his head subconsciously and saw Bai Xiao running towards him. However, he did not rush towards him as happily as before. Instead, he calmly withdrew his gaze, then raised the candied haws and bit it hard with his two small front teeth.

He took a sip and said, "Aunt Yueyue, let's go home."

Qian Yue brought Yu Jingxi out tonight, hoping to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him, but the little guy kept a straight face and refused to speak no matter how much she tried to coax her. She was a little startled when she was called "Aunt Yueyue".

He immediately took his fleshy little hand and said, "Okay."

Just as they were about to lead Yu Jingxi to the parking lot, a woman blocked their way.

Bai Xiaochong looked at Qian Yue in surprise and nodded, then looked at Yu Jingxi: "Jingxi, I have something to tell you."

Yu Jingxi let Qian Yue lead her, without even raising her eyelids, and just kept eating the candied haws.

"You are..." Qian Yue looked up and down at Bai Xiao, who looked embarrassed after being exposed to the rain, and instinctively moved to block Yu Jingxi.

"I am Jing Xi's teacher." Bai Xiao looked at Yu Jingxi intently, but she answered Qian Yue.

Qian Yue said "Oh", "I'm Xiao Xi's..." Halfway through, Qian Yue seemed not to know how to describe himself, smiled shyly, lowered his head and looked at Yu Jingxi lovingly, "Xiao Xi will be in trouble in school in the future.

Please take more care of me."

Bai Xiao couldn't describe her mood at the moment, it was much worse than when she came out of the coffee shop just now.

Qian Yue hesitated to speak, but Yu Jingxi turned a blind eye...

Bai Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that I have disturbed you." After saying that, he turned around and walked back.

But Yu Jingxi suddenly raised her head, with the candied haws in her mouth still stuffed, and shouted inarticulately: "Aunt Yueyue will accompany me to the next parent-teacher meeting!"

Qian Yue was stunned for a moment, and then felt surprised and happy. After all, she was a young lady who had received a good education since childhood. Her face did not change much. She nodded elegantly to Bai Xiao, then leaned down, took out a tissue from her bag, and wiped it off for Yu Jingxi.

The rock candy on the cheeks is like a stepmother: "Eat slowly."

Bai Xiao really felt that she was redundant, and there was a feeling of depression in her chest that could not be dissipated. She clenched her fingers and accelerated her pace to leave.

Qian Yue came back after throwing away the tissues and found Yu Jingxi standing alone at the entrance of the mall holding a stick.

She was not an innocent little girl who was inexperienced in the world. From the conversation between Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi just now, she had vaguely noticed something unusual, but she still decided to pretend that she didn't know anything, walked over, touched Yu Jingxi's head, "If you really want to

If you like to eat, we can go in and buy another bunch."

Yu Jingxi buried his head, feeling extremely depressed and unwilling to move.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yue knelt down and tried to help his little face, "Can you tell Auntie if you have anything unhappy?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Jingxi looked up at Qian Yue with a kind face: "My father doesn't like you, so you can't be my stepmother."

Suddenly, the smile on Qian Yue's face could not be maintained.

"...Although I'm broken up in love, I don't plan to accept anyone new for the time being."

Qian Yue: "..."

——————————

Bai Xiao walked absentmindedly on the road, and she didn't know how many times she was hit by oncoming people.

She rubbed her shoulder that was hurt by the impact, and felt as if she had broken a jar, as if she had never known the child before.

But his fawning "Xiaobai" sounds echoed in her ears again, and the feeling was sour, with a hint of sweetness.

Can she really be so cruel that she completely forgets this child?

——————————

Just as she got on the bus home, Bai Xiao received another call from Pei's mother.

As soon as Bai Xiao's hand touched the door handle, she heard Mother Pei's choking voice coming from the ward: "Qiyou, you are not well yet and cannot be discharged from the hospital."

"Mr. Pei, your temperature hasn't dropped yet. It's best to stay in the hospital for observation."

Opening the door gently, Bai Xiao saw Pei Qiyou with a sullen face and a flushed face, pulling the infusion tube on the back of his hand regardless of the nurse's stop.

"Xiao Xiao?" Jiang Yingmei turned around and glanced at Bai Xiao, her eyes were red as if she had seen her savior.

Pei Qiyou also turned his head, and when he saw the person standing at the door, his hands stopped.

Bai Xiao seemed not to notice his action of picking up the infusion tube. He walked in and picked up the porridge on the cabinet, "You have stomach problems, you'd better eat something."

He did not take the bowl, but held her slender wrist and looked straight at her with his dark eyes, "Where have you been?"

"I just had something to do when I went out. Let's have some porridge." Bai Xiao said calmly.

This time, Pei Qiyou never made any noise to be discharged from the hospital. He drank porridge and took medicine and then lay down to rest.

However, even if he closed his eyes, he still held her hand firmly and frowned slightly, like an insecure child.

——————————

After Pei Qiyou fell asleep, Bai Xiao withdrew his hand and walked out of the ward to find Jiang Yingmei still outside.

"Xiaoxiao, how is Qiyou?"

"I fell asleep after taking the medicine," Bai Xiao gave Jiang Yingmei a reassuring smile, "It should be nothing serious."

However, Jiang Yingmei's face did not fade away from sadness. Looking at the mud stains on Bai Xiao's clothes, tears came to her eyes again.

"Xiaoxiao, can you really not give Qiyou another chance to change his ways?"

Bai Xiao said goodbye, but Jiang Yingmei held her hand tightly, fearing that she would not agree and run away, "These days, I have been thinking that if I can restrain Qiyou well, he will not be so random.

Things won’t reach this point now.”

"Mom, don't say that." Bai Xiao smoothed her hair around her temples, "I don't care about your business."

"Xiao Xiao, mom knows that you have been a good boy since you were a child. Today, mom is begging you with a shy face," Jiang Yingmei gritted her teeth, as if she had made a lot of determination and wanted to kneel down to Bai Xiao regardless of her dignity:

"Can you please not divorce Qiyou?"

Bai Xiao helped Pei's mother in time and her eyes were red: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"It's me, a mother, who has no good discipline. Over the years, I know that he can't help you, but I haven't done anything for you."

Jiang Yingmei burst into tears, "But ever since you told him that you wanted a divorce, Qiyou knew you were wrong. He didn't go out to hang out with other women anymore. He went home after work and stayed in your new house.

He didn't say anything for just one night, but I could see that he felt very sad and he didn't want to leave you."

"Mom..." Bai Xiao also felt sad when faced with Pei's mother's plea.

"Mom knows that he broke your heart, but this time, just for mom's sake. If he goes out to find women in the future, mom will sever the mother-son relationship with him. And your grandma also said that it used to be

Her fault, she wanted you to move back in."

Seeing that Bai Xiao didn't speak, Jiang Yingmei continued: "When Qiyou's father went, I wanted to go with him, but thinking about Qiyou, he managed to survive. Mom's health is not good and she can't bear it anymore.

No need to be shocked, I just want to watch you live happily together."

Bai Xiao's heart felt like a piece of flesh had been cut out with an awl, and there was a dull pain.

She blinked and said in a seductive voice, "I just went to see a woman. She said that she had been with Qiyou for five years, and she also advised me not to divorce Qiyou."

Pei's mother held Bai Xiao's hand tightly and said, "That's all over. I hope you won't get involved with them again in the future."

"It's ironic, isn't it?" Bai Xiao couldn't wipe away the self-mockery in her eyes: "Being a mistress seems to be unreasonable for me to make troubles. Mom, do you know? As long as I look at Qiyou now, what I think about is not our past.

It’s sweet, it’s all about him and those women.”

"Over the years, I have been telling myself not to recall it, because every time I recall it, my heart hurts."

Jiang Yingmei wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, just take pity on me, an old woman."

The door to the ward opened a crack at some point.

Bai Xiao broke away from Pei's mother's hand and turned around to see Pei Qiyou standing by the door.

——————————

Bai Xiao opened the door to the ward, and there was a lamp on inside. Grandma was sitting in the bed room wearing reading glasses, tinkering with something.

As I got closer, I discovered that the old man was knitting a sweater.

"Grandma, why do you think of wearing a sweater?" Bai Xiao sat down next to the bed.

"I have nothing to do, so I just wanted to find something to do." Grandma took off her glasses and rubbed her sore eyes. "I asked the nurse to buy some thread for me from the farmer's market nearby. Unfortunately, I am old and used to play so hard.

Okay, if you're not careful now, you'll miss a stitch."

Bai Xiao picked up a sweater that was mostly knitted. It was small, egg-yellow, and modeled after the figure of a five- or six-year-old child.

"Jingxi's kid comes to see me often and buys so many things. As an old woman, I don't have anything to give him." Grandma touched the sweater with loving eyes, as if stroking Yu Jingxi's soft curly hair, "I don't know.

Would a rich family like them find it objectionable?"

Bai Xiao looked at the sweater and was a little dazed. She didn't expect her grandmother to have such deep feelings for Yu Jingxi.

"Every time I hear him call me grandma, my whole heart almost melts." Grandma said and laughed spontaneously, "It's exactly the same as when you were a child, carrying a small bench and following me to call grandma. By the way, the cabinet

There is a bag of oranges inside, remember to take it back and eat it when you leave later."

"Orange?" Apart from himself, Ye Hehuan and the others, Fengcheng had almost no one else come to visit grandma.
