Xia Xingchen's mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind.
"About what time?" He asked again without waiting for an answer.
She suddenly came back to her senses, looked up, and met his inquiring eyes before she said, "Sunday, 9 a.m."
Bai Yeqing nodded, neither saying yes nor no.
Suddenly, the two stood in the hall, looking at each other in silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became indescribably awkward. Finally, Xia Xingchen spoke first: "I... will go in to help the child with homework. Remember to close the door for me when you pass by. Thank you."
After saying this, he turned around and went straight into the bedroom without paying any attention to the darkening face of the other person.
Bai Yeqing did not follow.
When she entered, Xia Dabai paused slightly while doing his homework, and turned his head to look at her, "Dabao, what's wrong with you? You look weird!"
Xia Xingchen shook his head, "Nothing..."
Lying back on the bed, she was still confused. Especially when she thought about the man who was just outside the door... and was only separated from her by a wall...
My heart is even more restless.
This man, when she thought he would never appear here again, he suddenly appeared. But, he clearly said that she should stay away from him and his people...
Xia Xingchen found that she had never guessed what he was thinking.
"Dabao, I seemed to hear Xiaobai's voice just now."
"Hmm..." Xia Xingchen sat up from the bed again, "He's here."
"Ah? You said Xiaobai is here?"
"… Um."
"Then I'll go play with Xiaobai!" Xia Dabai put down his pen and ran out. Xia Xingchen looked at the time and didn't know if he had already eaten dinner.
"Dabai!" She subconsciously called the child. Xia Dabai paused and turned to look at her. She thought about it and finally shook her head, "Forget it, it's okay..."
Last time she asked Lengfei to deliver medicine, she was betrayed and met with a setback. If she were to ask him if he had dinner this time, he would probably say something about her again. And...
He had already told her to stay away from her, and it would be really pathetic for her to go up to him.
Xia Xingchen struggled for a long time, but in the end, she just stayed in her room quietly. She took Xia Dabai's homework and checked it carefully, but inexplicably, her mind was not here at all. After looking at it for a long time, she finally gave up and covered the book. Since he was here, let him help the child check it!
… … … … …
"Xiaobai." Xia Dabai ran to the next room, and sure enough, he saw someone in the living room next door. He was sitting lazily on the sofa with his long legs crossed. One hand was idly resting on the sofa, and the other hand was holding the remote control.
Although his eyes were on the TV, he was obviously not paying attention. The remote control in his hand kept switching between various TV stations.
Hearing the child's voice, he turned his head to look at him. Xia Dabai smiled and moved over to sit next to him, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
"If you can come, why can't I?"
"Of course I can come. This is Dabao's home, and it is also my home."
"This is my home." Bai Yeqing glanced calmly through the door that the child had just opened to the next door. It was empty.
He calmly turned his attention back to the TV.
Xia Dabai looked like he knew everything about him, "Xiaobai, don't be so stubborn. You obviously came here just for Dabao."
"Dabai." At this moment, her voice came from the other side. Bai Yeqing stopped changing channels and focused his eyes on the TV. He didn't pay attention to what was on the TV. He only heard her voice, "Dabai, come here."
"Come here, I'm watching TV and don't want to move." Xia Dabai felt that he was a super assist and looked at someone with a look of seeking praise.
"... Hurry up, come here." Xia Xingchen's tone became a little harder.
Xia Dabai still didn't move.
Xia Xingchen took his homework book and waited in the hall for a while, but the little thing didn't show up. After careful consideration, he finally walked to the next room.
Bai Yeqing seemed to have not heard anything, as if he was watching TV with his mind focused. Xia Dabai smiled sweetly at Xia Xingchen, moved his little butt, vacated the space between himself and his father, and patted his hands, "Dabao, sit down."
Xia Xingchen looked at the child, then at someone who was watching TV very "attentively", and finally, her eyes fell on the TV. Then, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and her face turned red, "You two, are you watching this so attentively?"
"Yes." Xia Dabai nodded his little head. Anyway, he was not watching TV, and he was using all his time to poke at his father and Dabao.
Bai Yeqing glanced at Xia Xingchen, and when he saw her uncomfortable expression, he turned his gaze back to the TV. This time, he was really watching it seriously.
It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but once I did, I was so upset.
Xia Dabai also looked at it for a while, and then asked seriously: "Xiaobai, what is the aphrodisiac and kidney-protecting medicine?"
That's right.
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting nothing but a health program. Moreover, the special topic of this health program was aimed at men's hidden diseases.
Bai Yeqing's expression didn't change at all. He glanced down at the middle of Xia Dabai's legs and said, "Don't you like small toothpicks? When you grow up, if you still have small toothpicks there, you can use this thing."
"..." Xia Xingchen stared at him with resentment. Who would say this about their own son
"... Oh." Xia Dabai seemed to understand, and then, his big eyes rolled around, and moved to between his legs, with a look of worry on his little face, "Xiaobai, you're watching so intently, could it be... that yours has also turned into a small toothpick?"
"Pfft..." Xia Xingchen really couldn't help laughing out loud.
Bai Yeqing glanced at him unhappily. Was she so happy to see him embarrassed
Xia Xingchen didn't dare to look him in the eye, and just handed him the homework book. "Check your son's homework. I have to go take a shower."
After saying that, he left without paying any more attention to the father and son and walked away. The moment he closed the door, thinking back to what had just happened, he still found it funny.
He looked at her back, and even when the door closed, he still hadn't taken his eyes away. Her smile was still in his mind, and for a moment, his face looked much better.
… … … … … … …
Xia Xingchen had just finished taking a shower and wrapped herself in thick pajamas when she heard Xia Dabai knocking on the door outside.
"Dabao, do you have any stomach medicine at home?"
Xia Xingchen tied her clothes casually, opened the door, and looked at her son worriedly, "Do you have a stomachache again?"
The child has a bad stomach, so she doesn't dare to be careless at all.
