Xia Xingchen missed him so much that she squatted down and put her face close to him. Xia Dabai kissed her obediently.
Xia Xingchen sent the driver off and thanked him many times. When he came back, he saw Xia Dabai sitting on the sofa with bare feet, taking things out of his bulging schoolbag. All he took out were his daily necessities.
Children's toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and even pajamas are provided.
Xia Xingchen took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet. It was cold now, so she definitely couldn't walk on the floor barefoot. However, the slippers were hers, and they were too big for Xia Dabai. She squatted down and put the shoes next to his little feet, "Wear them for now. After dinner, we'll go to the supermarket and Mom will buy you slippers. Walk slowly, don't trip."
"Um."
Xia Xingchen pointed at the thing he had escaped with great interest, "What is this for?"
“Same as you!”
"… How am I?"
"Running away from home!" Xia Dabai held Xia Xingchen's neck affectionately with both hands, "Dabao, you and I are on the same front. If you run away from home, I will run away from home too."
When the child said this, Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart. She pinched his soft little face and said, "I finally raised you well."
only…
The child didn't understand that he had indeed run away from home, but she hadn't. That luxurious house wasn't actually her home.
"Does your dad know that you're here?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"I don't know. I haven't told him yet. He always thinks I'm nagging." Xia Dabai pouted and complained, "Xiaobai's temper has been getting worse and worse these past two days. I can't stand it anymore."
Xia Xingchen agreed with her son's words. He really had a bad temper. She had experienced this lesson thoroughly when he broke his birthday promise.
"If you really run away from home, your dad's temper will only get worse." Xia Xingchen sighed.
"What should I do?" Xia Dabai frowned, "Dabao, I don't want to be separated from you."
How could she bear to be separated from her child? She touched his tender little face and said, "I will discuss it with your father when I have time to see if you can stay with me."
"Okay." Xia Dabai nodded. But the next moment, he thought about it and became depressed again, "But, I will miss Xiaobai too. I don't want to be separated from Xiaobai."
"… "
"Dabao, how about you move back with me? I miss Xiaobai, but also the housekeeper and other sisters... It's so lively there, and you have no one to talk to here."
"Then you think about it yourself. You can't have your cake and eat it too." Xia Xingchen said as he walked towards the kitchen. "Either you live in both places, or you choose one. Anyway, I can't go back."
"Why can't you go back?" Xia Dabai dragged her slippers and moved inside step by step. Following behind her like a little tail, "Are you still angry with Xiaobai?"
"No."
"why?"
"You, a child, won't understand the adults' reasons." Xia Xingchen cut the chicken legs that had been soaked for a while, and skillfully poured Coke out from the kitchen.
When Xia Dabai saw the Coke, he stretched out his two little hands to ask for it. She had no choice but to pour him a small sip. He took a few sips of it with his soft tongue, and then he looked up and continued to plead for his father, "Dabao, Xiaobai actually likes you, so don't bother with him, okay?"
"I didn't argue with him, but I won't go back."
"..." Xia Dabai's head drooped, feeling extremely depressed. These two were both weird, one more stubborn than the other. If this continued, he would be doomed to be separated from his family and not have a complete family, right
The more Xia Dabai thought about it, the more depressed he became. Other people's children were not like him!
"Oh! I have such a miserable life!" He sighed and walked out of the kitchen dejectedly.
Xia Xingchen paused, feeling as if his heart was pricked by a needle, it hurt a lot.
Her Dabai has always been very sensible and optimistic. Before Bai Yeqing appeared, he was very satisfied with a family with only the two of them. But now it is different...
Because of Bai Yeqing's appearance, he obviously had a lot more expectations in his heart.
… … …
Fortunately, the child forgets things quickly, and after taking a bite of the cola chicken wings and eating a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, all the depression in his heart disappeared without a trace.
Xia Xingchen saved the best food for him. By the time they finished eating, it was already dark outside.
She put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, saying to him, "Watch TV outside for a while, and I'll take you to the supermarket later."
"Okay. Can I buy some chips at the supermarket?"
"OK."
"I also want to eat plums."
"Can."
As long as he is happy, it's fine. Xia Xingchen agreed without hesitation. After washing the dishes, she helped him change his shoes at the door, opened the door and was about to go out.
However, as soon as the door opened, she was stunned by the person standing at the door.
It was none other than Bai Yeqing.
He was dressed in formal attire, and his expressionless face was hidden in the dim light. Leng Fei did not follow him, so he must be waiting downstairs.
Why is he here
"Xiaobai?" Xia Dabai was also quite surprised and asked the question that Xia Xingchen also wanted to ask, "Why are you here?"
Bai Yeqing's eyes passed over Xia Xingchen's face, and then looked at the child, "I'm here to take you back. The housekeeper said you were here."
When Xia Dabai heard this, he frowned and hugged Xia Xingchen's legs, "I don't want to leave. I've already told Dabao that I want to sleep here tonight."
"No. You have classes tomorrow morning." He refused.
Xia Dabai pouted in disgust and waved her two little hands at Xia Xingchen, who then picked him up from the ground. She glanced at Bai Yeqing and said, "I'll get up early tomorrow morning to send him off. He even brought his pajamas tonight, so let him sleep here."
She interceded for him.
Bai Yeqing pursed his lips and said nothing. It was hard to tell whether he agreed or not.
Xia Dabai hugged Xia Xingchen's neck and said, "Xiaobai, you go back first. Dabao and I are going on a date. It's really disappointing if you take me away like this. I'll go back by myself tomorrow."
He hopes his dad can be more sensible.
"Date? Where to date?" He looked at Xia Xingchen and asked her.
"We were just going to the supermarket to buy him a pair of slippers and some snacks."
Bai Yeqing was silent, as if thinking seriously, "I'll go with you."
"Ah?" Xia Xingchen thought he had heard it wrong.
His expression remained calm, and he only said, "After shopping in the supermarket, I'll take the kids back."
After that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator without caring whether they were happy or not. Xia Xingchen was stunned for a long time, and he was a little bit stunned. Until his voice rang out from the elevator, "Why are you still standing there?"
