Looking at that pitiful appearance, Bai Yeqing seemed to be quite satisfied.
The originally tense facial lines relaxed a little, but when she turned her head back, he returned to his cold attitude.
He took the spoon to scoop the soup, and she immediately stood up and took the spoon from him in a flattering manner, "Let me help you."
"Is that enough?"
"Just drink this much first, and I'll help you scoop more when you're done."
"Have some of this. I just tried it and it's very chewy. You can try it too."
"This meatball is also very good, chewy."
Someone kept showing his courtesy, so much so that, in the end, the delicate little bowl was filled to the brim with all kinds of dishes, leaving no space at all.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Where should I start from?"
"..." Xia Xingchen was embarrassed.
Too.
So she took his bowl over again, scooped half of it into her own bowl, and handed it back to him with a smile, "That's fine, you can eat it."
Bai Yeqing looked at her twice with scrutiny. Although she didn't understand what he meant, it was enough to make her scalp tingle. Finally, he picked up his chopsticks and ate slowly. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She raised her eyes to look at him and smiled sweetly.
I also picked up chopsticks and started eating with relish.
It's really not that easy to coax a man, especially a weird one...
After coaxing her till now, he just stopped giving her different looks and still didn't speak to her. It was as if she was performing a one-man show.
Xia Xingchen felt that he had a long way to go.
He ate dinner with great trepidation. After finally finishing it, Bai Yeqing went straight to the study.
Xia Xingchen certainly couldn't argue with him, so she could only temporarily stop trying to "coax a man".
She sat on the sofa, watching TV bored. She was always worried about the fact that he was still angry with her, but she was also glad that she didn't really break up with him. He was already so angry now, and if she really said the word "break up" to him, she didn't know how angry he would be. She was afraid that he would really ignore her for the rest of his life.
She thought about it, got up again, and called Liangcheng.
It was Shen Min who answered the phone. She had been paying close attention to today's news, and she felt relieved to know that everything was temporarily out of danger.
"Mom, where's Dabai?"
"I'm washing my feet. Should I give him the phone?"
"Um."
Xia Xingchen responded and heard Shen Min's footsteps. After a while, Xia Dabai's childish voice came from that direction.
"Don't you guys want me anymore?" Xia Dabai complained angrily, "Humph, Xiaobai said she would come pick me up, but if she didn't, even you, Dabao, ran away quietly. You all think I'm troublesome!"
Xia Xingchen has a headache.
Today she and the men were at odds. The older men were mad at her, and even the younger men were mad at her.
"Don't you really like playing with Da Mao and Er Mao? So mom just wants you to play there for two more days. Besides, you are not fully recovered yet. Liangcheng has fresh air, which will be good for your health."
"…" At this point, Xia Dabai suddenly stopped talking. Listening to his breathing, he seemed very unhappy.
"Dabai?" Xia Xingchen called him.
Xia Dabai sniffed his nose and looked like he was about to cry.
Xia Xingchen's heart tightened, "What's wrong? Is it still painful?"
"Big Mao and Second Mao won't play with me anymore..." Xia Dabai's friendship was hurt, and he choked up as he spoke, "They said, I'm the president's son... They don't dare to play with me..."
"..." Xia Xingchen sighed. Today's news spread everywhere, and the folks in Liangcheng naturally knew about it. Although Dabai was a minor and her photo was not exposed, those who knew her naturally knew the child's background.
It seems that the difference in status exists not only in love, but also in children's friendship.
"It's okay. Da Mao and Er Mao just haven't adapted to it yet. Go find them tomorrow and tell them that you are still yourself. I believe they will play with you."
Xia Dabai sniffed and snorted proudly, "If they don't want to play with me, then I don't want to play with them either! I won't pay any attention to them anymore! I hate them!"
"..." Xia Xingchen found it funny, "If you don't want to pay attention to them, then why are you crying?"
"I... I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm sad because I made the wrong friends!" As if trying hard to save a little bit of his face, Xia Dabai raised his voice high to make himself more persuasive.
"..." Xia Xingchen sighed, this precious son is just as awkward as his father.
However, it seems that even if Dabai recovers completely, he will still have to transfer to another school. Otherwise, there may be other troubles.
… … … …
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen hugged the pillow and huddled back on the sofa.
I looked upstairs and saw that the door of the study was still closed. I sighed, wondering how long he would be busy until.
"Madam, I left your dessert there for you. Your Excellency is in the study now. How about I have someone bring it to you to taste?"
The housekeeper stepped forward and asked what she meant.
She didn't ignore the regret that she didn't get to eat the dessert at the dinner table. As expected, when it came to dessert, Xia Xingchen forgot her depression, nodded, and sat up straight.
The butler then had the dessert brought over.
After she ate a few bites, she felt refreshed and her mood improved a lot.
She was eating so intently that she didn't even notice when someone came out of the study, stood upstairs, held the white jade railing and looked down at her for a long time.
until…
"Mr President!"
She looked up from her dessert when the servants' voices of greeting rang in her ears.
The man had already gone downstairs, with his hands lazily in his pockets, staring straight at her.
Xia Xingchen looked at him, then at the spoon in her hand, and was stunned. Was she the "heartless and conscienceless" person in his eyes again
"That... this... I..."
She started three times but didn't say a word of explanation.
As a result, he didn't even bother to look at her, and just sat down on the sofa, watching the TV calmly, with no emotion on his face.
Xia Xingchen coughed dryly and moved closer to him imperceptibly.
He seemed not to notice and did not move.
She moved again.
She moved until the two of them couldn't get any closer, then she stopped. She picked up the dessert, scooped a mouthful with a spoon, and brought it to his lips in a flattering manner.
"Try it, it's delicious."
His eyes blinked, bright and full of anticipation.
Bai Yeqing narrowed his eyes slightly. Xia Xingchen didn't know what he was thinking. She was just worried that he was still angry with her, and her heart was tense.
But the next moment, the man said quietly: "Feed it in a different way."
