No one expected that Xiao Yuanyuan would suddenly shake her hands and then make a flower gesture with a bright smile.
Anyone who sees this would feel soft-hearted towards such a cute child. Bai Qingnian's eyes fell on him and he couldn't help but smile - but when he thought of his mother who was still there, he quickly put her smile away because he was afraid that his mother would be unhappy.
However, children do not play by the rules, so no one was surprised by this.
When Bai's mother saw Xiao Yuanyuan smiling at her, she suddenly wasn't angry anymore.
Although she also felt something was strange, as she was clearly furious before, after seeing Xiao Yuanyuan, she was no longer angry at all, and the air in her chest dissipated.
This won't work. Bai's mother didn't want to soften her expression in front of them. She had to make her attitude clear. If she disagreed, she disagreed.
Bai's mother turned around and said, "Anyway, I won't agree to it. If you don't care about me as your mother, just do it. I'm leaving now."
Bai Qingnian hurriedly chased after her: "Mom, I'll take you home."
Gu Xiefeng didn't chase after him and didn't say much. Bai's mother loved Bai Qingnian very much in her heart, so it was good that he said so. If he wanted to go up to him, Bai's mother would only object even more.
Watching Bai Qingnian and Bai's mother go out, Xiao Yuanyuan was confused.
He could more or less sense that Bai's mother was in a bad mood. Could it be that his performance failed to impress her
He was still being held by Gu Xiefeng, wondering if his performance just now was too bad.
“Beep!”
Gu Xiefeng looked down at him: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't ask out loud about her worries and could only express them through rich body language.
He waved his flower hand again, made a flower shape with his little face, then tilted his head and made a cautious "pat" sound.
—It’s like asking, was what I did just now wrong
Gu Xiefeng admired himself for being able to understand the little baby's meaning at once. These actions were so funny and interesting.
Gu Xiefeng felt much better. Although he felt that Xiao Yuanyuan didn't understand what he said, he still patted his head and said, "Yuanyuan's performance just now was very good."
Xiao Yuanyuan is relieved.
In fact, he also thinks that he is pretty good at hand-shaking. He learned it after watching it once. Besides, how could a human not like such a cute little parrot? That is absolutely impossible.
…
On the way Bai Qingnian sent his mother back, Bai's mother felt much calmer.
She has always been gentle towards Bai Qingnian, and her anger was mainly caused by looking at Gu Xiefeng.
Bai's mother sighed: "You are too careless about adopting a child. How can you adopt a child so casually... Now, was it that kid Gu Xiefeng who proposed it?"
Bai Qingnian didn't dare to admit that this was Gu Xiefeng's idea, and Xiao Yuanyuan's appearance was too bizarre. He had explained it to Bai's mother several times just now, but she didn't believe it. Now Bai Qingnian didn't explain it, but just said: "... Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about me."
"How can I not worry about you? Tell me what this is all about. It's about adopting a child, not picking up a cat or a dog on the street... Who is the Gu family? Will they agree to this? Don't always listen to Gu Xiefeng. How can you beat him? I'm afraid he'll sell you out without you even knowing it."
"No..." Bai Qingnian smiled helplessly, "Mom, don't always think too badly of him. He treats me very well. We are very stable now."
"Do you really want to spend your whole life with him?"
"yes."
"… "
Bai's mother sighed, "Don't think I'm nagging you. I keep saying these things. But the Gu family is a very powerful family. You two may be in love when you are young, but if you really want to spend your whole life together and adopt a child, the Gu family may not recognize the child. Then you will be the one who suffers!"
Bai Qingnian understood his mother. She had always been on his side because she was afraid that Gu Xiefeng would change his mind and that he would be wronged in the Gu family.
"No, Xiefeng will take care of it. Besides, the Gu family is very nice to me. There's nothing wrong with them."
"You are just too innocent and kind! You don't know how evil people's hearts can be!"
"I understand, why don't I understand?"
"If you understood, you wouldn't be suspended this time!"
"… "
It accidentally hit Bai Qingnian's recent pain point.
He performed an operation that he shouldn't have done, saved a dying old man from the hands of death, and then got himself into trouble.
At that time, the patient's condition was urgent and his family was not around to sign. Bai Qingnian followed the rules and asked the hospital leaders for permission. However, the hospital leaders thought that the possibility of success of the operation was too low and the patient was too old to be prone to accidents, so they did not agree.
Bai Qingnian was unable to remain indifferent, and finally pushed the patient into the operating room, expressing his willingness to take all responsibility.
The operation went smoothly and the old man escaped safely.
But the elderly's children were unfilial. They sent the elderly to the hospital just to prevent him from dying at home. They said the hospital should not perform the operation and refused to pay for the operation. They went to the hospital to make trouble, went to the Health Commission to file a complaint, and threatened to throw the elderly out if they had the guts.
The old man needed to rest after the operation, but his children came to make trouble every day. He couldn't bear it and committed suicide by jumping off the building in the hospital.
It is even more difficult to explain when a person died in the hospital, and the hospital was indeed at fault. In order to calm the situation, Bai Qingnian was eventually suspended.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingnian became very depressed. He was silent for a long time before he said, "... This is different. Next time this happens, I will still do the same."
Bai's mother regretted it after she finished speaking. She shouldn't have mentioned this matter. She changed the subject and said, "... Hey, my son is good in every way. He is handsome, young, promising, and kind-hearted. But he really doesn't have the vision to choose a partner."
"Mom, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm not a child anymore. I can be responsible for my own choices."
…
Bai Qingnian sent his mother home and then went back. Gu Xiefeng was drawing with the little baby.
The little baby was lying on the floor, painting passionately, with crayons spread all over the floor and one of his socks almost rubbed off on the carpet.
Gu Xiefeng didn't notice and was still on the phone. He should have gone back to the company after dinner, but Bai Qingnian had sent Bai's mother back home, and he couldn't leave the child alone at home.
Seeing Bai Qingnian go back, Gu Xiefeng stood up and said, "I still have some things to do at the company. I'll leave first."
"okay."
"By the way, let's go to Gong's house for dinner tonight, and bring Yuanyuan with you."
The Gong family was their next-door neighbor. Bai Qingnian asked, "Huh? Why are we going to their house so soon?"
"I thought I should find some friends for Yuanyuan to play with. Their kids are just right. I originally wanted to ask if we could go to the amusement park together tomorrow, but Gong Suicheng said he didn't have time, but they were having a barbecue in the evening, so they invited us over."
"okay, I get it."
"I'm leaving."
"Well, be careful on the road."
The son of the Gong family is called Gong Wangheng, he is seven years old this year and looks very good. Bai Qingnian often sees him and every time he sees him he can't help but praise him in his heart that this child is so good-looking, like a mixed-race child.
The two families were in the same situation, both had two fathers raising their children. Bai Qingnian thought this was a good idea, as it would not only let Xiao Yuanyuan know that their family structure was not very special, but also allow him to get to know an older brother.
The child from the Gong family is famous for being sensible and polite. Xiao Yuanyuan is also a good and well-behaved child. They will definitely become good friends.
Bai Qingnian walked to Yuanyuan's side, first helped him put on his socks that were about to fall off, then lowered his head to see what he had drawn.
"What is Yuanyuan drawing?"
The little baby generously showed him his drawing, which was a pink bird: "Gray, chirp!"
Bai Qingnian could already understand baby talk without any pressure. He knew immediately that the baby wanted to say "fly", but was afraid that "feifei" was not enough, so he added "chiu" to refer to the bird.
I have to say that the little baby is very good at drawing. He is not very talented, but at least the color matching is comfortable and he has drawn out all the characteristics of a bird.
"Yuanyuan's painting is really good. It's a very cute little bird."
The little baby was very happy to be praised by Bai Qingnian. He patted the painting and said incoherently: "From, from, ba ba!"
Bai Qingnian also understood that this was a gift for himself.
So cute.
Bai Qingnian squatted on the ground and looked at the little cutie. Was it because his eyes were not normal when he looked at Xiao Yuanyuan, or was it because Xiao Yuanyuan had magical powers? Why did he like her more and more the more he looked at her, and his mood also became better
In the evening, Gu Xiefeng had not returned yet, Zhong Anjia came over and knocked on the door, asking them to come over so that the children could get to know each other first. Zhong Anjia was Gong Suicheng's lover, who was about the same age as Bai Qingnian, and the two families had a good relationship on weekdays.
Little Yuanyuan doesn't know what barbecue is, but he is very happy to go out with adults because he is a free bird and birds should fly outside often.
It was only a few steps to the Gong family's house, and half of the barbecue utensils in the yard had been moved out.
Zhong Anjia called her son over: "Hengheng, come and say hello to Uncle Bai. And brother Yuanyuan, come and meet him."
The little boy named Hengheng came over. He had slightly curly chestnut hair and light blue eyes. He really looked like a mixed-race kid. He said politely and brightly, "Hello, Uncle Bai. Hello, brother Yuanyuan."
"Hengheng is still as sensible as ever. How are you doing recently?"
"I'm doing fine recently, thank you Uncle Bai for your concern."
Xiao Yuanyuan stared at Gong Wangheng with her saliva dripping down.
It was the first time for him to meet a boy older than himself here. He was so handsome and looked delicious. The little parrot could not pretend or lie, and was dazzled by the beauty.
Bai Qingnian also wanted to introduce Brother Hengheng to Yuanyuan, but when he looked down, he saw little Yuanyuan drooling and looking around for tissues in shock.
Gong Wangheng took the initiative to say, "Dad and uncle, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll take my brother Yuanyuan in to wipe his mouth. There's paper in the room."
Bai Qingnian was a little embarrassed, but Zhong Anjia said: "Then take your brother in to wipe it, and remember to bring candy to your brother."
Bai Qingnian said: "Then I'll trouble Hengheng."
Gong Wangheng was born with an elegant demeanor, like a little prince, and he looked very nice when he smiled: "It's not a problem. I'm older and I should take care of my little brother. I'll take my little brother in then."
Little Yuanyuan was led in by her handsome brother's hand in a daze.
But who would have thought that once they got to a place where the adults couldn't see, the handsome brother's expression changed. The warm and beautiful smile on his face disappeared, and he instantly became much colder.
He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth expressionlessly. His hands were a bit too strong and Xiao Yuanyuan subconsciously stepped back. The handsome brother's cold eyes slanted and he was so scared that he dared not move.
It was the first time the little baby was stared at like this, and his tail couldn't help but explode, forming a bulge in his pants.
