Younger Brother (1)
After Bai Qi hung up the phone, he seriously contemplated the measure about Frank coming and whether he should kiss Xi-laoshi three times first to calm him down.
Xi Chengyun didn’t know about Frank yet, and he whispered, “I’ll ask Shang Guang to help you negotiate this contract. No need to look for the original copy.”
“No need to look for it?”
“Mm. If the other party is intentionally squandering time, seeing you didn’t panic and even went on the variety show……”
Bai Qi answered, “Oh, as long as I don’t panic, the one who panics is someone else!”
At that moment, Papa Bai opened the freezer and asked loudly, “Want some ice cream popsicle?”
Bai Qi answered loudly, “Yes!”
Not only eating, he enthusiastically broke the crushed ice into two pieces and shared half with Xi-laoshi.
“Did Xi-laoshi ever eat it when he was a kid?”
“No.” Xi Chengyun grabbed it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, “It’s freezing.”
Bai Qi nodded, but Xi Chengyun took the other half out of his hand before he could react.
“I’ll hold it, you eat it,” Xi Chengyun said.
Bai Qi couldn’t help but look down at his hand.
His skin looked even more distinct and beautiful after being frozen.
Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun slowly finished biting through half a stick of crushed ice before he remembered: ‘Heck, I forgot about proper business! I haven’t even said anything about Frank!’
Bai Qi turned his eyes to look at Xi Chengyun, only to find Xi Chengyun staring at him.
To be precise, he was staring at his lips, taking in all his ice-licking and biting movements.
‘?’
‘Xi-laoshi, something is wrong with you.’
Xi Chengyun’s gaze was calm, with no extra emotions given to it.
However, this kind of gaze amid silence was paradoxically more powerful than a scorching gaze. It shocked Bai Qi that this man was awake and sensible enough to yearn for himself.
“I’m not eating; it’s so cold,” Bai Qi whispered.
Xi Chengyun nodded and continued eating half that Bai Qi hadn’t finished. This handsome man was seriously eating this childish thing.
Bai Qi watched as he squeezed the ice that had crumbled and melted a bit underneath upwards and watched as he lowered his eyes and bit down on the tip.
Bai Qi looked at the ceiling in a trance.
‘Ah.’
‘Something is wrong with me, too.’
It was already after four in the afternoon when Uncle Xi finished his business talk.
According to his habits abroad, he would immediately rush to his next trip. But today, he specifically asked the driver to make a detour and pick up Aunty and Su MeiXian.
The driver asked, “Where is President Xi going?”
“Return to the place where I was picked.”
The driver couldn’t help but mutter secretly, ‘Why doesn’t this big shot walk the ordinary road?’
‘Wasn’t it done after staying for a day?’
‘That place is so shabby and small……’
Aunty was also surprised for a moment.
She looked at Uncle Xi twice more.
However, Aunty was aware that she was having a great time with the Bai family. Bai Qi’s mom was very good at complimenting people, and when they went shopping together, she would quickly pick out clothes that suited her. It was rare for her to get pleasure from such meaningless activities anymore.
So it was okay to stay a few more days.
“Let’s go,” Uncle urged.
He hadn’t yet learned how to cook the dishes he learned from Bai Shan yesterday.
When Su MeiXian saw this, she couldn’t help but smile gently.
As the old saying goes, getting married wasn’t just about two people; sometimes, it represented the union of two families. Although both Qi Qi and Mr. Xi were male, they should also be taken seriously after marriage. Getting along with the Xi family was out of her expectations, making her let go of the last worries in her heart.
The three people over here were in a good mood.
The atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
When the car arrived at the residents downstairs, they slowly climbed the stairs, but before arriving in front of the door, the three people’s footsteps stopped in unison.
They saw a young man standing in front of the old security door with his head held high, carrying a huge bag that could stuff a person inside while sneakily clawing at the door. One moment, he looked at his cell phone; a moment later, he looked at the door sign; another moment, he looked at the peephole.
Uncle’s expression changed, and he made a gesture of “back off” to the two ladies behind him.
Su Meixian revealed a thoughtful expression.
She thought: ‘This is a bit like when Xi Chengyun’s agent came to the door. But now that the parents have met, where can Qi Qi get someone else? It can’t be the ex-boyfriend Qi Qi mentioned before, right?’
Before Su MeiXian could figure out the identity of this person, Uncle had already stepped forward and grabbed the person’s collar from behind.
“Call the police!” Uncle said sternly while firmly pressing the other person’s hand down, then flipped the person over.
This time, the person’s appearance was displayed directly facing Aunty and Su Meixian.
Young in age.
Good-looking features.
White skin, a bit wretched and embarrassed.
But the young man still tried to speak out courteously, “Sorry, I’m not a thief.”
“Not like a thief or a burglar,” Aunty said.
“Nor does it look like a flyer distributor or an advance inspector.” Su Meixian finished and couldn’t help but add, “A little…… familiar.”
But there was no way to describe this kind of familiarity.
She was sure that she had not seen this young man.
Then they heard the young man ask again, “Does Bai Qi…… live here?”
Uncle Xi released a “ha,” and something changed on his expressionless face.
It was rare when he remembered that Xi Chengyun was his nephew.
“You’re looking for Bai Qi? He’s married,” Uncle Xi said.
Young man: ????
Young man: “I know.”
