The matter was settled as Huo Yanqing said. Jian Xi and Huo Jibai waited for Shu Xinsheng to eat the full moon wine before leaving, but they kept this from Yao Huiqin in advance to avoid her being unhappy.
Shu Xin didn't hide Huo Yan's crush, but the reason was that Huo Jibai needed to learn and experience.
Because Huo Jibai was leaving soon, Huo Yanqing asked Huo Jibai not to go to the company recently and spend more time with friends and family.
At first, Huo Jibai disappeared almost every day. Gradually, all the friends who should be together gathered together, and they started to spend time at home. However, Shu Xin discovered a problem, feeling that Huo Jibai always seemed to be avoiding her.
When she came to Yao Huiqin's side, Huo Jibai would either go upstairs or go out. They used to watch TV together and occasionally made some quarrels, but seeing her now was like a mouse meeting a cat.
But it was clear that he didn't have the same fear towards her as he did towards Huo Yanqing. Shu Xin was puzzled and she planned to take a chance to ask him.
That day, as soon as Shu Xin entered Yao Huiqin's villa, Huo Jibai lost the remote control in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and said to Jian Xi, "Mom, I'm going to the back mountain practice field to play ball."
"Yes." Jian Xi responded, and she naturally noticed something was wrong with Huo Jibai. She felt that the reason why Huo Jibai was hiding from Shu Xin was because he felt awkward seeing her.
It was already embarrassing enough for her classmate to become his aunt, but now she became his sister, which was indeed a bit difficult to face. Not to mention him, Jian Xi herself would feel uncomfortable every time she saw Shu Xin.
My daughter became a sister-in-law, and I couldn't get over that hurdle no matter what.
Shu Xin and Jian Xi said hello and went to the restaurant to have breakfast. After breakfast, we went for a walk as usual.
But today’s walk was changed from the garden to the driving range.
Although it has entered autumn, apart from the cool mornings and evenings, the sun is still very bright during the day.
Shu Xin came to the practice field and stood by the track, holding her waist with one hand and covering her forehead with the other to block the dazzling sunlight above her head. She looked across the track at Huo Jibai practicing alone on the basketball court not far away.
He should have felt her eyes looking towards her, but he quickly looked away and continued dribbling the ball as if he hadn't seen her.
Shu Xin frowned her beautiful eyebrows and walked towards the basketball court holding her waist. When she was approaching the basketball court, Shu Xin saw Huo Jibai suddenly put away the ball and walked towards the other side of the basketball court, obviously about to leave.
"Huo Jibai, stop here." Shu Xin shouted.
As if Huo Jibai didn't hear him, his pace accelerated a lot.
Shu Xin knew that she would definitely not be able to catch up with Huo Jibai, so she had an idea, held her belly with both hands, bent slightly, and shouted loudly: "Huo Jibai, don't leave, my stomach hurts."
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, the tall and fast-walking figure immediately stopped, then turned around and ran towards her quickly.
Shu Xin lowered her head and suppressed a smile. It was so easy to deceive.
A pair of white sneakers appeared in her sight, and the next second, a worried voice floated down from the top of her head, "What's wrong? Why does your stomach hurt? Are you about to give birth? Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Shu Xin raised her eyes slightly and grabbed Huo Jibai's wrist. He had just played a ball, and his body seemed to be steaming. There was a thin layer of sweat on his wrist, and it felt moist and warm in his hand.
Shu Xin smiled slyly, "Why are you always avoiding me lately?"
Huo Jibai knew that he had been cheated, so he struggled to break away. She tried hard, but he couldn't get away. He didn't dare to shake her hard. She had a big belly and was afraid of hurting her. He could only say with a cold face: "Why should I?" Want to avoid you?"
