Hu Xiaojing found out that she and Jiang Jingbai had a disagreement. The last time she invited Han Yisi to dinner at home, she heard Han Yisi speak ill of her, and she was almost caught just now.
Not nearly.
Yes, he has been caught.
When Yu Xi returned to the living room, she noticed that the atmosphere was strange. Everyone was silent and looked in the same direction. She also raised her eyes and looked over.
Why is she here? Yu Xi frowned.
The living room was silent for a while, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After all, the person who only existed in the gossip appeared suddenly, how could you feel embarrassed
It's a pity that the embarrassment lasted only three seconds, and the child in Hu Xiaojing's arms became fussy. Maybe she felt that the atmosphere was too weird, which made her uneasy, and burst into tears. The air reflowed after this crying, and two or three people took the initiative to say hello to Jiang Jingbai .
"The school committee is here."
"School committee, come in quickly."
Jiang Jingbai used to be the study committee member of the class. She was seldom talkative and didn't like to communicate with her classmates. In a class full of nicknames, she was the only one who was a clear stream, because no one dared to call her a nickname, and no one dared to tease her. , Greeting her is just a respectful name, school committee.
Majestic and imposing.
Yu Xi remembered that she had argued with her because of the address before.
She thinks this name is too serious, old-fashioned, and sounds like an adult in her thirties and forties. She told Jiang Jingbai, or I will give you a nickname, and you tell them not to call it that.
Jiang Jingbai felt that it was just a title, and it was the same for everything.
But Yu Xi desperately tried to convince her: "How about this, my name is Xiao Yu'er, and you are called Xiao Jiang'er? No, no, no, it doesn't sound good, Xiaobai? Why does it have the same name as my cat? Otherwise..."
The breeze blew by, and she hadn't finished speaking yet. When she snapped her fingers and wanted to address her, Jiang Jingbai leaned over her body abruptly, her cold face enlarged in front of her eyes, and her lips pressed against her, soft and warm, with a touch of sweetness meaning.
Yu Xi couldn't remember why she couldn't get rid of this nickname.
She only remembered that day when the sun was shining wildly and the wind was gentle, Jiang Jingbai looked over with her little reflection in her eyes, smiling, her eyebrows curved like a moon, very intoxicating.
"Yu Xi!" Hu Xiaojing let out a soft roar that exploded in Yu Xi's ear. Yu Xi turned around, saw Hu Xiaojing looking at him angrily, and pouted, "Come with me."
Yu Xi walked in behind Hu Xiaojing.
There were two people sitting in the room watching TV, and Hu Xiaojing greeted: "It's time for breastfeeding, please avoid it."
The two walked out of the room tactfully.
After Yu Xi closed the door, Hu Xiaojing put the baby on the bed, took out the feeding bottle from her bag, and stuffed it into the baby's mouth accurately. Yu Xi was silent for a few seconds when she saw her breastfeeding.
"What were you thinking just now?" Hu Xiaojing asked casually, Yu Xi coughed lightly: "It's nothing."
"It's nothing? Look at your worthless appearance. Is Jiang Jingbai that good? Seeing her made her eyes straight."
Yu Xi said with a headache after being scolded: "I don't have it."
"Still said no!" Hu Xiaojing pointed to her eyes: "I don't know how to look by myself, Yuxi, it doesn't matter if you say you don't fall in love, let's look for it slowly, but if you have already broken up, don't bother with it anymore, besides Not a nice guy either."
Yu Xi nodded: "I know."
She looked at Hu Xiaojing with clear eyes: "I know what to do."
Hu Xiaojing originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing Yu Xi's clear expression and not seeing the blankness just now, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You know better, if you have anything to do with Jiang Jingbai, Han Yisi will tear you apart."
Yu Xi was amused: "Is that an exaggeration?"
Hu Xiaojing said in a serious tone: "It's such an exaggeration!"
After finishing speaking, he emphasized: "If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Yu Xi was discouraged.
Xiao Le, who was drinking milk, opened her teeth and waved her arms. The bottle was no longer hanging from her mouth, and she was babbling.
Yu Xi nodded: "Go."
After Hu Xiaojing walked out of the room, she looked left and right, but she didn't see the person who just came in. She pulled the person who was chatting next to her and asked, "Where's Jiang Jingbai?"
The people next to her were stunned by her question: "I was still here just now."
The person sitting on the sofa looked up: "Go to the backyard, it seems that she went to the backyard."
"Hey, why isn't Lu Xiaowei here yet?"
Today's party was initiated by Lu Xiaowei. Originally, he was supposed to be the first one, but he hasn't come yet. If he doesn't come, we can't have dinner. There are already a few people in the group who have already joined Lu Xiaowei.
Hu Xiaojing took a few glances and turned to go to the backyard.
Jiang Jingbai was nowhere to be seen.
She walked to the bathroom at the back, and caught a glimpse of a slender figure in the kitchen as she passed by.
He was chopping vegetables, his shirt cuffs were folded to the joints, his exposed forearms were thinner, his skin was fair, he was skillful in chopping vegetables, his cold facial features were a little loose, not as serious as he just saw in the living room, the corners of his eyes were lifted up, It seems to be smiling lightly.
Hu Xiaojing was not far away, and she could still hear the voice of her teacher's wife, Zhang Yuan.
"Give it to me, let me come, you go to the meeting."
Jiang Jingbai's voice was slightly lower: "It's okay, teacher's wife, I will help you."
Hu Xiaojing is humble and polite. She knows that Zhang Yuan likes this kind of person the most. Sure enough, Zhang Yuan narrows her eyes with a smile: "Xiao Jiang is better."
What a fart, Hu Xiaojing despises it in her heart, and she will act like it. Yu Xi, who was not in the world like fireworks, was fascinated by it. After a few years, the lingering poison is still lingering, and now she has not been able to have a good relationship.
Not to mention the way they occasionally ate, Yu Xi scolded Jiang Jingbai after drinking too much.
There is no hate without love.
If you really let go, how can you think about it, even if it's just to blame.
In fact, over the years, she and Han Yisi have deliberately not mentioned Jiang Jingbai, and sometimes they rant and scold when they mention it, just to make Yu Xi wake up.
But the matter of feelings can't be explained clearly in a few words. They hate Yu Xi's disappointment and Jiang Jingbai's unfeeling in the past, but they can only give orders to Yu Xi'er, but they can't control her feelings.
Hu Xiaojing raised her head, and heard Jiang Jingbai's voice from inside: "The teacher's wife has won the award. I haven't come back to see you and the teacher for so many years. I feel very sorry."
Zhang Yuan waved her hand: "Who said they haven't seen us."
"Didn't you ask Lao Cheng to bring me some ointment two years ago?"
Zhang Yuan has a long-standing rheumatism problem, and her legs hurt when it rains. Cheng Shu knew that there was a kind of ointment that was effective, but it was hard to buy. Once Jiang Jingbai returned to China, he sent a lot of it.
Everyone has selfishness, Jiang Jingbai treats Zhang Yuan well, so she naturally takes special care of her and talks a lot.
Jiang Jingbai smiled lightly: "Teacher Cheng told you."
Zhang Yuan: "Yes."
After she finished speaking, she looked outside: "Xiao Jing?"
"If you don't come in, what are you doing outside?"
Hu Xiaojing glanced at Jiang Jingbai's expression and saw that she was calm and calm, she raised her lips: "Master, I just want to go to the toilet."
Zhang Yuan pointed behind her finger: "Over there."
Hu Xiaojing nodded: "OK."
Zhang Yuan waited for Hu Xiaojing to leave, looked around, and returned to the kitchen with Jiang Jingbai, asking, "What's the matter with you and Xiaoyu?"
Jiang Jingbai didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would suddenly mention Yu Xi's name. She tilted her hand and almost cut her finger. She calmed down and said, "Master, why do you ask such a question?"
Zhang Yuan sighed: "Okay, don't hide it from me."
"I knew about you when I was in school."
Jiang Jingbai lowered her eyes: "Master..."
Zhang Yuan: "Stubborn, Xiaoyu just came looking for me."
Yuxi? Jiang Jingbai raised her eyelids and looked at Zhang Yuan: "What is she looking for you for?"
Zhang Yuan paused for a few seconds: "It's nothing, I asked about your family's past."
"Why didn't you tell her?"
Jiang Jingbai withdrew her indifferent expression, put down the half-cut vegetables in her hands, lowered her head, and said after a long time: "Master, what do you say if a person does something wrong?"
Seeing her sudden softening, Zhang Yuan thought for a few seconds: "Who will not make mistakes after living for decades."
"Correct when you know something is wrong, it is better than being confused all the time."
Jiang Jingbai's voice added loneliness: "What if it is an unforgivable mistake?"
Zhang Yuan looked at her: "Xiaojiang, mistakes don't matter big or small. If you make a mistake, you are wrong. You have the right to make mistakes, and others have the right to be angry."
"As for whether to forgive me, it's not up to you. You should follow your heart and try to minimize the damage of this mistake."
"Don't face it, stay in the same place, and escape forever. Then how do you know, will others forgive you?"
"Perhaps, the opportunity lies ahead."
Jiang Jingbai bowed her head in silence after hearing Zhang Yuan's words, her profile was cold, and Cheng Shu trotted to the door after a while: "Everyone is here, we can serve the food first."
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, when did you come?"
Zhang Yuan roared: "Go and go, go out and serve the dishes, didn't you see me chatting with Xiao Jiang."
Cheng Shu has always been afraid of respecting his wife, so when he heard this, he picked up two dishes: "Yes, I have become an outsider, then Xiao Jiang, you can chat with your teacher's wife, and I will go out to greet them first."
Jiang Jingbai nodded: "Okay."
But Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, there is nothing to talk about, you can go to eat too."
Jiang Jingbai saw that she was busy again: "Shall I help you?"
Zhang Yuan took the kitchen knife from her hand: "You, if you think about it, you can help me."
"These two children..."
The muttering gradually became quieter, Jiang Jingbai glanced at Zhang Yuan's slightly hunched back, and said in a low voice, "Teacher."
The sound of chopping vegetables was bang bang bang, and Zhang Yuan didn't turn her head: "Huh?"
Jiang Jingbai: "Thank you."
Zhang Yuan turned her back to her with a smile on her face.
Jiang Jingbai walked from the backyard to the living room, and everyone was already seated. At the two tables, Lu Xiaowei was surrounded by everyone, shouting at Mr. Lu one by one. Not some boss."
She looked around, but did not see Yu Xi, subconsciously looked at the room, the mahogany door was closed, she stood at the door, pressed the doorknob hard, the door opened, Yu Xi heard the movement behind her without turning her head, and said: "Come back? I just told your daughter that you don't want her anymore."
Yu Xi poked the child's cheek, the fleshy texture was good to the touch, the skin was smoother than milk, and white, it looked so lovely.
There was no sound coming from behind. Jiang Jingbai kept her eyes on Yu Xi, and saw that she was half bent, her long hair was tied behind her back, and a few strands were hanging on her chest. Shaking gently, like a cicada's wings, set off a stormy sea in Jiang Jingbai's heart.
"Don't face it, stay in the same place, and escape forever. Then how do you know, will others forgive you?"
"Perhaps, the opportunity lies ahead."
Yu Xi felt puzzled when she didn't hear the response, and turned her head. The person behind her was not Hu Xiaojing, but Jiang Jingbai.
Her expression froze, Jiang Jingbai took a step forward, her cold face faded, her pretty face was smiling slightly, and she called out, "Yu Xi."
"I am back."
