"Mom, is there no one at my uncle's house?"
Outside the villa, Mu He He stood on tiptoe to see the screen, but had to give up because she was not tall enough.
"Really?" The woman in a beige dress frowned slightly. She picked up her phone and looked at it. "She should be at home, right? Aren't you feeling unwell?"
Did he go to the hospital?
"I don't know." Mu He He shook her head while carrying her schoolbag. "Mom, I don't think we need to come. Even if uncle is sick, there will be someone to take care of him."
After all, my uncle has my aunt now.
Hearing this, Bai Hui frowned in disapproval: "Mu Hehe, how can you say that? Uncle is sick and we need to care about him."
Mu He He pouted, a little unhappy: "I'm not wrong, mom, don't you know it yourself? Uncle may not want you to take care of him yet."
“…”
It's so heartbreaking.
Bai Hui felt like an arrow had pierced her heart, but she was powerless to refute.
Because Mu He He was telling the truth.
Bai Jingmo's relationship with them has indeed always been lukewarm, and their daily contact is pitifully rare. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Mu Hehe, this lively guy, Bai Jingmo might have lost contact with them long ago.
Yesterday, when she heard that her mother was planning to call Bai Jingmo back for her birthday, and that her father would also be back, she was worried about what would happen, but she had no good reason to come over.
It was her grandfather who told her that Bai Jingmo might have a fever, so she quickly pulled Mu Hehe over.
The doorbell rang for a few minutes but there was still no response. Bai Hui was wondering whether to go back or not, when she suddenly saw the door opened and a man standing at the door looking at the mother and son.
He was wearing home clothes, obviously he had been at home all the time.
There was clearly no expression on the man's face, but one could inexplicably feel that he was not in a very good mood. His dark pupils first glanced at Mu Hehe.
Mu He He also greeted this uncle enthusiastically: "Uncle!!"
His little eyes kept looking inside the villa.
I wonder if my aunt is in there.
Bai Jingmo calmly moved aside to block the door tightly, then he set his sights on Bai Hui and said calmly, "Why are you here? Didn't we agree to pick Mu Hehe up on the weekend?"
Bai Hui quickly pointed to the thermos in her hand and said, "Grandpa told me that you have a fever, and Mu He He is very concerned about your uncle and has been clamoring to come over, so I brought him over to see you."
Mu He He was humming on the side, not knowing who pulled her over.
Hearing this, Bai Jingmo nodded slightly, and said in a neutral voice: "No need, I'm much better now."
"Ah...Is that so?" Bai Hui said, her gaze falling on Bai Jingmo's face, with a hint of subtle scrutiny in her eyes.
Knowing that she was coming, Grandpa asked her to pay more attention to Bai Jingmo's condition. He said that Bai Jingmo seemed a little abnormal when he called yesterday.
But when she took a look, she didn't notice anything wrong.
Isn't this quite normal? Even more normal than before.
Thinking of her original purpose, Bai Hui hurriedly stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "Jing Mo, it's not easy for me to come here, why don't you invite me in to sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Bai Jingmo frowned slightly, obviously a little reluctant, "Today is..."
At this time, Mu He He also spoke crisply: "Uncle, I want to drink water too! I've been waiting for you for a long time! I'm dying of thirst!"
“…”
After a few seconds of silence, Bai Jingmo turned around slightly in compromise.
"Come in."
…
In fact, this was Bai Hui's first time at Bai Jingmo's house. She looked around first, then asked tentatively: "Is Auntie not at home?"
Bai Jingmo poured a glass of water for Mu Hehe from the kitchen, and then replied: "Well, I asked Auntie to go back and rest for a day."
"Were you alone when you were sick?" Bai Huilian followed with a thermos bucket in hand. "I just happened to bring some porridge. Do you want to..."
But when she saw the pots and bowls on the stove that had not been cleared away, her words got stuck in her throat and she could only smile awkwardly: "...I've already eaten."
Bai Jingmo nodded and said, "Go sit in the living room first. I'll get you some tea."
Bai Hui quickly agreed: "Oh, okay."
Mu He He held the water cup and drank slowly. His round eyes turned and looked upstairs. While his mother was out, he grabbed Bai Jingmo's trouser leg and asked quietly, "Uncle, is the teacher here? Can I go to the room to find the teacher?"
Bai Jingmo lowered his eyes and stared at the little guy in front of him, and said coldly: "No, go sit in the living room."
This is a tacit acknowledgement that Yu Li is at home.
Mu Hehe curled her lips, thinking that her uncle was so stingy.
But he still asked quietly: "Did you succeed in turning the teacher into your aunt?"
The man paused for a moment. Where did this guy get this information?
Seeing this, Mu He He thought that he had failed. He frowned and looked at Bai Jingmo with some disgust, "Uncle, you are so slow. Didn't you catch up with the teacher? I listened to the teacher and kept the secret for you."
"…Teacher told you?"
Hearing the man ask this, Mu Hehe nodded, "Yes."
He looked around, raised his little head and whispered, "Uncle, I'll tell you in secret, when I asked the teacher if she was my aunt, she didn't deny it, so the teacher must like you too, you have to work hard! Otherwise, what if someone else snatches you away!"
Little Mu Hehe is really worried about her uncle's life-long affairs.
My uncle must be too cold, so he can’t pursue my aunt!
Thinking of this, Mu He He wanted to encourage him again, but when she looked up, she saw her uncle, who was always serious, suddenly curled his lips.
“It can’t be taken away.”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smug expression rarely appeared on his cold face: "I have caught up with her."
In the living room, this was the scene Bai Hui saw when she turned around.
The bright sunshine poured into the kitchen and sprinkled on the man's body. The ends of his inky hair were tinged with golden halos. He lowered his head to look at the little boy beside his legs, and a rare lively smile appeared on his dignified and cold face.
It was completely different from the polite and distant smile he had before.
So she was stunned for a moment, staring at the scene blankly.
Since that incident, she had never seen Bai Jingmo smile like this.
At this moment, Bai Hui couldn't describe how she felt.
There was an inexplicable bitterness mixed with her excitement, and her eyes were slightly sore.
That’s really, really great.
Bai Jingmo...finally lived a normal life.
As if he noticed her gaze, the man raised his head as if he sensed something, and then the smile on his lips disappeared instantly, his brows returned to a cold look, and he lowered his head and spoke to Mu Hehe.
"Go play upstairs by yourself."
Don't let your aunt get too bored upstairs.
