Xia Xingchen guessed Dabai ruined Bai Yeqing’s sleep so no wonder he’s in a bad mood . Fixing her clothes and hair, she checked the time and said . “It’s late now . We need to go back . ”
“Little Bai! I won’t go with you tonight! I don’t have class tomorrow . I promised Dabao I will stay with her! My teacher told me people need to keep their word! I can’t turn her down!” The little boy was a chatterbox .
Really annoying .
Bai Yeqing didn’t answer him with yes or no . He opened the door and only gave him a two-word reply . “Get out . ”
Xia Dabai had no idea what he meant . He looked up to Xia Xingchen, who had no idea, either .
“Get out first . ” Xia Xingchen opened the door .
“Dabao, if daddy asks me to go back, please help me! Use your power!” Xia Dabai begged her .
“What power?”
“Tears . ” The kid pointed his eyes . “Last time you got injured and cried, Little Bai worried about you like it almost killed him! He worried about you more than I did . ”
“…really?” Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart and her eyes started to focus on the man in front of them . She still remembered that night he showed up to save her .
He somehow felt someone was looking at him so he turned around and waited for them .
Xia Xingchen smiled at the kid . “I will give it a try . ”
…………
Their chauffeur sent them to her apartment .
In case Bai Yeqing really asked him to go back, Xia Dabai pretended to sleep when he got in the car . But somehow he really fell asleep .
“Give him to me . ” The car arrived in her neighborhood . Bai Yeqing took the kid in his arms when Xia XIngchen wanted to lift him .
“Is your arm alright now?” Bai Yeqing asked her while they were walking to the elevator .
“It hurts sometimes . ”
“So why do you always hold him in your arms?” He frowned . “Let him walk more . He’s getting heavy . ”
Xia Xingchen rubbed her elbow and smiled . His care was so much of his style . So bossy and nothing to do with gentleness and soft .
She nodded . “Okay . I know . He still wants me to hug him every now and then . When he grows up he will never let me hold him in my arms . ”
Then her tone was getting a little sad . She straightened his coat in case he felt cold .
Bai Yeqing secretly stared at her . He noticed her fair skin and fresh complexion . They walked together into the elevator and a light shone down from above . Her skin was almost transparent .
“He’s got to grow up though, especially boys . Don’t worry about it . ” He said to her in a low voice .
Xia Xingchen smiled at him and pressed the button . “When he grows up he will live his own life . I should live my own life, too . ”
Hearing this, Bai Yeqing questioned her with his deeper eyes . “What kind of life do you like?”
Xia Xingchen didn’t give him an answer .
What kind of life did she want to live? Xia Dabai was her whole life before . She never gave it a thought about her own future . All she cared about was the little boy .
But now Bai Yeqing showed up…
She didn’t have to worry about the kid anymore . There’s an opening in her life and also it was the biggest part .
“I’m not sure . I’ll think about it when he’s older . ”
When she talked, her voice was low . The light casted a faint shadow under her long eyelashes .
Bai Yeqing felt a strong desire to protect the woman right beside him . He reached out the free hand to hold hers . Xia Xingchen was surprised but she didn’t get rid of it . Their slender and long fingers entwined .
He held her hand tightly and that soothed her mind .
This man had a special power that she could not refuse . She knew exactly that there’s an incredible abyss waiting for her but she couldn’t help moving towards him .
………………
He finally let her hand go when she’s about to find the key and opened the door . Xia Xingchen felt her hand was kind of inflexible but so warm .
The night market and the movie did exhaust Xia Dabai . He didn’t even open his eyes when Xia Xingchen carried him into the bathroom to wash his hands and feet . All he’s doing was hanging on her neck and mumbling .
Then she took him to his bed .
After everything was settled, Xia Xingchen turned off the light in his bedroom and walked out . She guessed Bai Yeqing had already left, just like last time .
But…
To her surprise, he’s still here .
He put his coat on the sofa and only wore a clean shirt, standing in front of the bookshelf . The books and photos were placed on the shelf . Old photos though .
He studied every single one of the old photos .
Xia Xingchen checked the time . It’s already 10 . She didn’t know if she should ask him to go back now .
He seemed to feel what she’s going to say . “I haven’t had dinner yet . Is there anything to eat?”
That surprised Xia Xingchen . “Why didn’t you have your dinner? It’s too late now . ”
She couldn’t ask this poor man to leave .
“What a busy day . I had a meeting for hours and after that I just had no appetite . ” He took one of the photos while he was talking . She remembered that one . She took that picture when she’s 12 . At that time her parents had already divorced because of Li Lingyi for a couple of years . So it’s a rare chance for both of her parents to be with her . They took the photo together in the park .
She still remembered the bright and blooming lotuses that year . Her family stood beside the pond to take this photo . After that, her mother moved to her hometown and married again . Since then she had never reunited with her family .
Xia Xingchen felt sorrow thinking about it . She tried to change the topic in her mind . “So what would you like to eat? I can cook for you now . It won’t take long . ”
Xia Dabai had a huge appetite tonight so there’s basically nothing left .
“Never mind . It’s Okay . ” He answered in a casual way but she started to worry about him . It seemed that he’s always too busy to eat .
