At 22, on the verge of university graduation, Xitong discovered she was pregnant. After her first in-depth discussion about the baby with her long-distance boyfriend, Yu Sixie, the independent Xito...
Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Fooling around
"Xiaozhi, please be polite on your first day of school."
Xitong, who had a splitting headache after a hangover, touched Xizhi's furry little head.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to get up early the next day and send Xizhi to school with Su Luyao.
Although the primary school is only fifty meters away from my home.
Seven-year-old Xizhi wore a white shirt that was ironed without a wrinkle on the upper body and a pair of gray Nike sweatpants on the lower body.
"Children of this age love to move around and touch things, which can easily lead to them getting dirty, so try to choose dark-colored clothes."
The fact that Xizhi is kept so clean and tidy is ninety-nine percent thanks to Su Luyao, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Xitong has only contributed a little money.
Xitong refuted this, saying that she also had excellent genes.
Among so many children going to school in the morning, she couldn't find one who was more handsome than her son.
A porcelain-white face, long eyelashes and star-like eyes.
Su Luyao refuted this.
Xi Tong and Yu Sixie had been in a relationship for four years. She had never met Yu Sixie in person, but she was fortunate enough to see several of his luxury cars. However, Xi Zhi's birth made up for this "regret".
This kid doesn't look like his mother at all. The older Xizhi grows, the more Su Luyao finds it strange: how can a child look so little like his mother?
She realized belatedly that this child was not the product of mitosis from Xitong alone, and Xizhi was most likely to look exactly like his dumped father.
Xizhi felt a little uncomfortable being touched by Xitong, so he turned his head slightly to escape from the clutches. He adjusted his hair with his little hands, raised his glasses with his middle finger, and said in an adult tone:
"Mom, if you want to give birth to a brother or sister for me, don't be embarrassed to tell me, I don't mind - but remember, find a smart man."
Xitong's eyes widened suddenly, and the embarrassing scene in the bathroom last night resurfaced in front of her. She quickly covered Xizhi's mouth and said, "What are you talking about? Let's go to school."
The parents around smelled the gossip and cast curious glances.
Xizhi grinned evilly, turned around and walked into the school gate leisurely with small steps. Suddenly he stopped and turned towards Su Luyao and Xitong, his little mouth opening and closing silently.
Others may not understand, but Su Luyao, who is closer to her than her own mother, can tell what Xizhi is up to at a glance.
"Yao, Yao, you also need to work harder."
Xitong and Su Luyao sighed deeply together.
"This child is still spoiled."
"Don't think so, he's still very well behaved."
Xizhi’s personality is indeed a bit “evil”, but it has never caused trouble for the two new mothers: he is in good health, obedient and sensible.
They have traveled all over the world over the years, and have never seen him complain.
After Xizhi was born, Su Luyao opened an account on Xiaohongshu and occasionally posted Xizhi's daily life and photos.
Thanks to his deceptively cute looks and extraordinary IQ, he now has 1 million fans.
There are quite a few aunts on the Internet who like this little devil. Those who don’t know Xizhi’s true face like to call Xizhi “Little President”.
[This child has a noble aura! ]
[I unilaterally decide that this is my future son-in-law! ]
[Little President, Auntie loves you! Mua~ Kiss]
【Matryoshka dolls.jpg】
In addition to his aunt, Xizhi also has a large number of "dad" fans.
Because Su Luyao's father never appears in any of the videos she posted, netizens all assume that Xizhi doesn't have a father.
Although Xitong never showed up, there were occasional vocal interactions and silhouettes.
Among these "dad" fans, Su Luyao was most impressed by a netizen named "Shi Sanbai".
Su Luyao only did a live broadcast with Xizhi once, and after that she did it alone.
But on that day, Shi Sanbai gave her gifts worth nearly 100,000 yuan and bought all the products sold in the live broadcast room.
Although Su Luyao and Xi Tong are not short of money, they are never afraid of having too much money.
They both agreed that working hard to make money is always the right thing to do.
After Su Luyao finished her live broadcast, she sent a private message to Shi Sanbai to express her gratitude. After several days, she received a very brief reply, as if the person who had spent tens of thousands of RMB was not him.
The child is very cute.
Su Luyao once suspected that this was Xitong's ex-boyfriend and the biological father of her child, Yu Sixie.
But later, Shi Sanbai never sent her any messages or did anything crazy again, so she didn't tell Xi Tong, who was busy with her career.
In short, although there is no father and although it is their first time raising a child, Xitong and Su Luyao did a good job.
Although Xizhi is sometimes harsh with his words and seems a little emotional (Xitong attributes this to his father's inferior genes), he is not lacking in love and is a child immersed in love.
Yawning, Xitong lazily lifted the baseball cap on his head, which was a limited edition worth tens of thousands of dollars, and walked home leisurely.
She won't go to work today and wants to have a good rest.
At this moment, a chilling voice sounded from behind, "Xitong, Xiaozhi is going to school now, you have to explain to me where you have been fooling around!"
"That hickey!"
"Sleep with a man!"
The roar echoed in the narrow alleys of the old community.
…
The house Xitong bought in Mulan Garden is on the first and second floors of Building 5, which is the second building with the best sunlight in the entire community.
As for why not buy the best building:
First of all, it is a bit far from Building 3 where my grandmother lives, and is located by the river at the innermost part of the community.
Secondly, she was not in the country at the time and asked someone to buy the house for her. No matter how much she offered, the owner refused to sell it.
I guess this is someone who has a special feeling for Mulan Garden.
Xitong didn't force it, so she chose Building 5.
Before "interrogating" Xi Tong, Su Luyao very humanely made a pot of milk tea, and the sweet aroma wafted out from the kitchen.
She didn't mean to interfere with her best friend's private life, and she had no objection to Xitong sleeping with other men.
What she was worried about was the same thing as Xi Tong, Yu Sixie.
She was sure that Xitong was not desperately attached to Yu Sixie, but she always felt that Xitong had not gotten over it, so when she wanted to sleep with a man, she felt that Yu Sixie was the only possibility!
But, they all knew.
For Xiaozhi's sake, Xitong must never have anything to do with Yu Sixie again.
Not to mention meeting in person, try to avoid unnecessary interactions at work as much as possible.
There is very little cooperation between Haicheng and Lihe. The two large groups with their headquarters in W City have little cooperation. This has been widely speculated in the business circles of W City.
No one would have guessed that the founder of Haicheng and the young master of Lihe had a child.
Moreover, he was an illegitimate child born secretly.
It is crazy that such a vulgar plot of running with the ball can happen in real life.
Su Luyao's understanding of this is that Xitong read too many domineering CEO romance novels when she was young, and with the subsequent booming development of feminism, she read a lot of related public account tweets and received a Western education.
So, at such a young age, he became rebellious and performed such an amazing feat.
The gurgling sound of water interrupted Su Luyao's thoughts. She held the handle of the teapot through her pink thermal insulation gloves embroidered with small flowers, and extinguished the fire with her left hand.
The sunlight followed Su Luyao into the warm and complex first floor.
Before returning to China, Xitong spent nearly one million to renovate the house and hired the best designer. Every detail in the house was designed according to the home she imagined as a child, and finally turned her dream into reality.
In the kitchen, the pastel-green cabinets resemble new leaves sprouting in spring, exuding a vibrant atmosphere. The cabinet doors are carved with vines and flowers, and every detail seems to tell the story of the forest.
The brass handles gleamed warmly in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the texture of the marble countertops. A few potted plants sat on the windowsill, their leaves swaying gently in the breeze, as if in dialogue with the shadows of the trees outside.
Entering the living room, a dark green velvet sofa dominates the visual center, like a soft meadow, inviting you to sink in. Next to the sofa, a floor lamp is shaped like a small tree, with several warm yellow lights hanging from its branches, casting mottled light and shadows.
There is a ceramic vase on the coffee table with a few fresh eucalyptus leaves in it. The silver-green leaves perfectly echo the color of the room.
The entire space is neat and layered, and every detail reveals an artistic atmosphere, like a carefully choreographed forest symphony.
"Tell me, who did you hang out with?" Su Luyao asked.
The emphasis is on “who”.
The milk tea swayed in the light pink mug and was pushed in front of Xitong.
There is no need for them to socialize in circles.
Xitong took a sip of the warm milk tea. She had loved milk tea since college, an addiction that would last her a full month: one cup a day.
Although drinking it may not be pleasant, it has become one of the few solaces in her busy and hopeless life.
At that time, Yu Sixie was very busy in Beijing and they had almost no chance to meet. Every time he made her angry, he would send Xitong a red envelope of 200 yuan to buy milk tea.
At first, Xitong felt embarrassed and refused, but later she was so angry at some of his straight male remarks and thoughtless behavior that she simply accepted it as compensation for mental damage.
Xi Tong gave Su Luyao the answer she wanted without hesitation.
"Yu Sixie."
When the familiar name sounded again, the past seven years seemed as short as seven seconds.
Looking at Xitong's frown, Su Luyao didn't ask any more questions. She quietly moved next to her best friend and the two of them stayed close together.
Xitong slowly explained the cause and effect of everything.
"Actually, I didn't want to go back to China, but my grandma was sick, so I couldn't not come back."
"After all, I'm the only one she has."
My grandfather passed away three years ago, and my grandmother's only daughter committed suicide eleven years ago.
During these seven years, Xitong's life was not as happy as it seemed.
Before breaking up, she had met a fortune teller by chance.
At that time, Xi Tong was not only busy supporting herself, but also working hard to pay off her debts. Coupled with the endless long-distance relationship with Yu Sixie, she was completely shaky.
Perhaps it was because she looked too haggard, as if she would break at any moment, that the gentleman held her back.
"Beautiful lady—if you just break up with your current boyfriend, not only will your life be filled with wealth and honor, but everything you wish for will come true. You're a total koi fish!"
She was indeed incredibly lucky after the breakup, but her husband's so-called koi physique had no effect on this "ex-boyfriend".
Xitong would dream of Yu Sixie many nights.
Beautiful and chaotic scenes followed one after another, and the few days we saw each other in those years were spent in bed.
Yu Sixie is lustful, and Xi Tong is also lustful.
But the ending of the dream was different from reality. He no longer gently carried her to the bathroom to clean up. Instead, he stared at her coldly with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Xitong, why didn't you tell me about the child?"
"Why do you deprive me of my father's rights?"
"Do you know that children without fathers will definitely be bullied?"
"Xitong, you know I'm scared, why do you still do this?"
Not only did he love to torture her physically, but now he also tortured her mentally.
Sometimes, Xitong didn’t understand why she was so decisive. Perhaps she was not the one who was truly decisive.
He never contacted her in these seven years.
Not once.
Xitong didn't know how long it took her to find her voice again. The milk tea on the table had already gone cold, and Su Luyao was still holding her.
"A week ago, I didn't return home with you. I went to Beijing alone."
Su Luyao frowned: "Beijing?"
She remembered that Yu Sixie and Xi Tong were both from W City, their universities were in B City, and Yu Sixie worked in Beijing City! It seemed that his family was going to Beijing City for development at that time.
Su Luyao had a bold guess at this time.
"You went to see Yu Sixie? And then you slept with Yu Sixie?"
"Um."
“????”
Su Luyao opened her eyes wide, unable to believe her ears.
They met so easily? What was all their seven years of hard work worth?
Xitong explained calmly, "He didn't see me. I just went to confirm that he was in Jing City and not W City. After all, Xiaozhi came back with him, so we had to be careful."
Well, it's possible that he saw it, but he probably didn't recognize it, Xitong thought.
"He didn't see you, so how did you two sleep together? Were you having spiritual contact?" Su Luyao's logic has always been clear, and she gets to the point directly.
Xitong raised her chin slightly, with an expression that said, "Kid, you don't understand this."
"Drunk and promiscuous, in the dark, at a hotel dinner."
"He can't drink. He'll have blackouts the next day and won't remember anything."
"At most, he knows that he's been slept with. There are so many women in Beijing who want to sleep with him. It's normal for him to be exposed once. There's no way to find out."
Xitong's words popped out of her mouth like cannonballs, her logic was clearer than Su Luyao's, and it was obvious that she had planned it for a long time.
Su Luyao was stunned, but still asked in confusion, "So why did you sleep with him? Wouldn't it be better to confirm it?"
This time Xitong did not answer directly, her face slightly red.
"Sister also has needs."
In the end, Xitong apologized to Su Luyao, and they both decided that it would be better not to have anything to do with Yu Sixie anymore.
Although it has been confirmed that Yu Sixie is in Beijing, it is still much more dangerous in the country than abroad.
But Xitong forgot to tell Su Luyao that she had met Yu Sixie's cousin.
…
At this time, an airplane took off from Beijing and flew south.
Sitting in the first class cabin, Yu Sixie was fiddling with the house keys in his hand. The laptop in front of him was filled with densely packed contracts and upcoming work arrangements.
He is still as busy now as he was seven years ago, but he is no longer busy trying to gain a foothold and eliminate dissidents, but more often because he is bored.
At this moment, the Niuma employees who were busy at the Lihe branch in Beijing sneezed.
Although he is very busy, Yu Sixie always takes some time out every year to return to W City.
The slightly stuffy environment inside the plane made him feel a little irritated. He took off his coat, and as he pulled it off, the scratch marks on the back of his neck, which had already faded a little, were slightly exposed.
A text message was displayed on the mobile phone screen placed aside.
[Mr. Yu, the house in Mulan Garden has been cleaned.]
