Bai Yeqing let go of Xia Xingchen and snorted twice. Unhappy. Very unhappy.
Xia Xingchen blushed with shame and hit him in annoyance, "The old lady is laughing at us."
"You teased me first." If this little woman hadn't teased him, he wouldn't have needed to learn... dog barking! Just thinking about it was enough for him!
"..." Xia Xingchen felt like he was a typical example of someone shooting himself in the foot. He knew that he had provoked him, but he didn't dare to argue.
He just followed out with a red face.
As soon as he saw the old lady, his ears turned red.
However, compared to her, Bai Yeqing looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Xingchen pinched his wrist again angrily and ran to Shen Min who was still busy making dumplings.
"Has he been coaxed? Look, Dabai is coming out happily." Shen Min said.
"It's not coaxing at all. It's just that his dad played a game with him." Xia Xingchen said as he rolled the dough with a rolling pin.
"He's just a kid, he doesn't need anything else. As long as you spend more time with him, he'll be fine." Shen Min said, "Wrap these dumplings here first, and put them in the pot when we're almost done eating, and send them to the hospital later. It's Chinese New Year, and it should be a lively time, but everyone is staying in the hospital. I don't know what's wrong with you. I just hope that all the bad luck this year will be over."
Shen Min sighed.
Xia Xingchen was also feeling very upset. "Although my dad is getting better now, Doctor Fu said that the last incident left a root of his illness. He is seriously ill again this time. It is probably impossible for him to be as strong as he was at the beginning. As for my mom... With such a thing happening in the Lan family, I am afraid that she will be seriously ill after being stimulated by this series of events."
"Okay, Shen's mother, come and eat quickly. Let Aunt Lin find someone to pack the rest." The old lady came over to call for help. Then she turned around and said, "Xingchen, what are you still standing here for? Go and eat quickly. You are pregnant now, and you are the most important person!"
The old lady took the rolling pin from her hand and took the mother and daughter to the restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling tonight. Although the two elders were missing, things were still going smoothly, unlike the gloomy night of New Year's Eve.
Eating hot dumplings with all kinds of delicious dishes now feels like celebrating Chinese New Year.
"Drink more." Bai Yeqing personally scooped porridge for Xia Xingchen. Her stomach was still uncomfortable, so she could only drink some porridge reluctantly.
Looking at the big fish, meat and seafood, she was so greedy that she looked at the lobster eagerly and wanted to eat it. Bai Yeqing gave her a warning look, and she looked away embarrassedly. He asked: "Will you dare to mess around again in the future?"
“… Never again.”
Xia Dabai turned around and asked, "Dabao, why are you the only one drinking porridge? There are so many delicious foods, don't you want to eat them?"
"Of course I want to eat." Xia Xingchen glanced at Bai Yeqing, not knowing how to talk about his own affairs.
Bai Yeqing said: "I want to eat, but I can't. This is the punishment for your Dabao's disobedience."
Xia Dabai's eyebrows were knitted, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Dabao's "punishment". "Xiaobai, you are really not a good boyfriend."
“…” Bai Yeqing and Xia Xingchen both looked at him.
"Xiaobai, I want to eat chicken legs." Xia Dabai didn't respond to the previous words, but set his sights on the food. He couldn't even reach it by tiptoeing, so he had to ask for help from the man sitting next to him.
"You mean I'm not a good boyfriend?"
"But you can try to be a good father now."
"… "
The chicken leg was right next to the old man's hand. When the old lady heard what Xia Dabai said, she immediately put the chicken leg in front of the child.
"Come on, come on, eat more. If it's not enough, ask the kitchen to make more."
Xia Dabai said sweetly: "Thank you, grandma."
"Mom, you will spoil him like this." He is now very worried that the other little one will also be spoiled by them like this since childhood, and he doesn't know what kind of person he will become.
The old lady said unhappily, "If I were to spoil you, I would spoil you first. Do you think you've become bad?"
Bai Yeqing was helpless.
When had he ever been spoiled by them? From childhood to adulthood, he had lived under the high pressure of the old man. How could he be like the children nowadays
Xia Dabai picked up a chicken leg and put it in Xia Xingchen's bowl.
"Dabao, eat without worry, don't listen to Xiaobai. You are pregnant with your little sister, you can't go hungry." Xia Xingchen was so moved. Fortunately, the sleeping pills didn't really kill her, otherwise she would never see her Dabai again.
I don’t know if I can give birth to a little cutie like Dabai in my next life.
Xia Dabai suddenly turned his little face to look at his Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you promised me that you would pretend to be a puppy. Now learn it! I want to listen carefully to see if you can imitate it well!"
At the end of the conversation, Xia Dabai even put down his chopsticks and waited attentively, his big eyes sparkling.
Bai Yeqing's lips twitched.
This good boy! It was obvious that he was trying to embarrass him in front of everyone!
"Pretending to be a puppy?" Bai Suye couldn't help laughing when she heard it. She glanced at Bai Yeqing and followed Dabai's example, putting down her chopsticks seriously. "After all these years, I didn't even know you had this talent."
At this moment, all the adults became interested, and even the old man was looking forward to it.
Who could imagine that someone who is always cold and serious would behave like a puppy? It would be very exciting just to think about it.
Only…
Xia Xingchen.
She was in a state of panic, and although she wanted to watch, she absolutely did not dare to make a fuss. Not only did she not dare to make a fuss, she did not even dare to breathe, and only buried her head, pretending to concentrate on drinking the porridge.
After hearing nothing for a long time, she cautiously stole a glance at the man beside her, but was frightened by his gloomy face and dared not look at him again. She quickly lowered her head and continued drinking, fearing that she would get into trouble.
"You guys don't want to eat?" Bai Yeqing looked around at the people who put down their chopsticks, as if he didn't hear what they said at all. "The chicken thighs look delicious. Aunt Lin, let everyone else come in and give one to each of them. No one here wants to eat anyway."
"Who said no one wants to eat it!!" Seeing that Xia Dabai's favorite chicken leg was about to be taken away, he immediately grabbed the chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg, pouting, "This is mine! Bad Xiaobai, you bully me again!"
"Have I ever taught you not to talk while eating or sleeping? Eat your chicken leg well and talk less." Bai Yeqing gave his son a serious "lesson".
Xia Dabai was afraid that if he said anything more, his chicken leg would fall into his vicious hands, so he just said "oh" awkwardly and buried his head to concentrate on eating his chicken leg.
It seems that his Xiaobai can neither be a good boyfriend nor a good father.
