Xia Dabai raised his little head, looked at them with a smile, and praised: "Xiaobai, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl, very cool~"
Bai Yeqing glanced at Xia Xingchen, who deliberately avoided his gaze, with a mysterious look in his eyes. But he didn't say anything, just led the child inside and said, "Let's go."
Xia Xingchen stood there looking at the backs of the father and son walking in front of him, feeling an indescribable sense of wonder in his heart.
Dabai is a very cute child, and his rate of turning heads is 100%. With Bai Yeqing, who is tall and has long legs, walking next to him, the two of them together, the rate of turning heads soars to 300%.
Xia Xingchen saw this and felt a little proud for some reason. He smiled, picked up a small basket and quickly followed.
Bai Yeqing had obviously never been to a supermarket before, and he was quite uncomfortable with the noisy sounds and various mixed smells inside.
Leng Fei and his men followed them closely, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, wearing Bluetooth headsets, and blending cautiously in the crowd, which really made them look quite out of place.
"How long will you continue shopping?" Bai Yeqing couldn't help but ask when Xia Xingchen stopped to pick out laundry detergent.
"I just came in, and I haven't bought any snacks yet." Before she could reply, Xia Dabai spoke first. He had been coveting those snacks in the supermarket for a long time, and now of course he had to remind Dabao not to forget.
Xia Xingchen squatted on the ground, looked up, and seeing his discomfort, she said, "We have just visited the daily necessities area, and we will go to other places later. It will probably take a while to finish the shopping. If you are not used to it, go back first.
After saying the last word, Bai Yeqing's face darkened again. It's a man's nature not to like shopping. Looking at the whole supermarket, which one is happy to go shopping with his wife and children? But even if he was not used to it, he didn't really leave.
Xia Xingchen picked up several laundry detergents and compared them carefully. He picked one at random and threw it into the small basket.
"Just buy this. Don't waste time."
"No." Xia Xingchen put the bottle he had taken back to its original place carefully, and chose another one and put it in the basket.
"You women are trouble." Bai Yeqing couldn't understand them. They were all laundry detergents, what was the difference? Was it worth her spending so much time studying them
"You don't understand." Xia Xingchen explained: "This kind of laundry detergent is gentler and suitable for washing children's clothes. Dabai's skin is more delicate, I'm afraid that kind of laundry detergent will hurt him."
When she mentioned the child, her expression was particularly soft. She even lowered her head and put the bottle close to the child's nose, letting him smell the smell of the laundry detergent to see if he liked it.
Bai Yeqing glanced over and saw her gentle and tender smile. The bright light from the supermarket made her look even softer. His eyes darkened, and his heart suddenly felt like it was being gently tickled.
By the time she stood up and put the laundry detergent back into the basket, his eyes had already shifted away. He reached out and naturally took the basket into his hands.
Xia Xingchen did not refuse, and saw that he looked a little absent-minded while carrying the basket.
I just find it hard to imagine him like this. He is not like the one we see on TV, directing state affairs, nor is he always high and mighty like in the presidential palace. He feels at home like this, blending into the hustle and bustle of mundane affairs without being too abrupt.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Yeqing asked in a calm voice.
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed. His eyes were clearly on the rows of shelves, so how did he know that I was staring at him
"Look at you. A president actually came to the supermarket with us."
"It's called investigating people's livelihood," he corrected her.
"Yes, investigate people's livelihood." Xia Xingchen followed his words and nodded.
The three of them went shopping for daily necessities and then went to buy slippers. Xia Dabai sat in a small chair, and Xia Xingchen picked a pair of cartoon shoes and squatted down to help him try them on.
"Try it and see if it fits." Xia Xingchen instructed his son.
"It fits my feet." Xia Dabai walked happily. He walked in front of him and raised his little head, "Xiaobai, look, does it look good?"
Bai Yeqing's eyes were on the clothes shop nearby. There was a young couple picking out clothes. The wife took a simple T-shirt and tried it on her husband, saying that she was picking out a gift for him.
The child asked, but he didn't answer. Seeing him staring intently, Xia Xingchen also tilted her head and curiously leaned over to look. Unexpectedly, he suddenly turned his head and looked at her coldly, "Where's my gift?"
"Hmm?" The question came out of nowhere and she was a little confused.
"Birthday present!" Even now when he mentioned his birthday, there was still some displeasure in his tone.
Xia Xingchen understood, but she didn't expect that he was still thinking about it.
"No."
She replied so straightforwardly. Bai Yeqing stared at her coldly and walked forward with heavy steps.
Xia Dabai spread his hands towards Xia Xingchen, "See, I told you that Xiaobai would be angry."
Xia Xingchen followed with the child, quietly glanced at Bai Yeqing's expression, and said: "You have so many gifts, I think you must not be short of my gifts. Besides, the things you can use are very expensive, I can't afford them."
He snorted coldly: "Really? Did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lose your salary?" Besides, who asked her to buy expensive things
"..." Xia Xingchen was speechless. Seeing that his expression did not ease at all, she could only say: "I was planning to buy you a gift, and I also picked out a shirt specially."
Bai Yeqing was finally willing to look at her, "Where's the stuff?"
"..." Xia Xingchen pursed her lips and said nothing.
Bai Yeqing stared at her and repeated, "Where are the things?"
"... I'll buy you another one tomorrow." Xia Xingchen doubted whether Xu Yan would lose his temper if she told him that he had given the shirt to him.
"I just want the shirt picked out especially for me!" Bai Yeqing spoke each word carefully, and seeing the guilt on her face, he was unwilling to give in.
"Dabao, when you go back just take out the clothes and give them to Xiaobai. Xiaobai will definitely be very happy." Xia Dabai had no idea what was going on and was still shaking Xia Xingchen's hand with a smile.
She had a headache. She really didn't want to say it, but Bai Yeqing's eyes forced her, as if he would not let her go if she didn't tell the truth today.
She changed her mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with giving it to Xu Yan. After all, he was her savior, and giving him a shirt as a thank-you gift was a small amount.
She said, "I gave that shirt to Xu Yan."
"…" Bai Yeqing's eyebrows jumped, and his brows became even colder. Xia Xingchen's scalp was numb from being stared at by him. Dabai, however, looked innocent, "Is it my uncle's birthday too? Dabao, you gave the clothes you gave to Xiaobai to my uncle, so what should I give to Xiaobai for his birthday?"
Xia Xingchen had originally intended to just say "Happy Birthday", but before she could finish her words, Bai Yeqing had already walked forward alone, his back looking even colder than before.
