14 Chapter 14
Surprisingly, everyone was very enthusiastic towards Chen Ying.
After Xiao Doukou pestered for a hug, she happily said she wanted to eat the small cake her aunt bought. Zhou Baixi opened it for her and fed her the cake bit by bit.
The awkward part was that Sister Zhou Baixi asked her a lot of questions, including but not limited to: "Are you married?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"How's work?"
"Are your parents in good health?"
"What do you think of my brother?"
Zhou Li was a chatterbox, but she had no ill intentions; she was simply curious. Chen Ying didn't take it personally and answered her questions one by one. Zhou Li was still interested and wanted to ask more questions, but Zhou Baixi interrupted her and said with a smile, "Sister! Even those who check household registration are better than you."
Zhou Li smiled and said, "I haven't heard you mention this for a long time."
There was no obvious change on Chen Ying's face, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She stole a glance at Zhou Baixi, who was wiping the corner of Xiao Doukou's mouth.
So, did he mention her to his sister?
When the doctor came to change the dressing, Xiao Doukou felt very uncomfortable and kept muttering about the pain. She kept wanting to grab something with her other hand and also said she wanted to hold her own toy. Her father said that even if he went to the Children's Hospital to buy a new one, it wouldn't work and she had to keep her original one.
Everyone was so worried when they heard she was injured, no one thought of bringing her toys.
After a group of parents insisted that Zhou Baixi send Chen Ying home, Chen Ying suddenly remembered that Xiao Doukou seemed to like her family's goldfish pillow very much. She kept holding it when she went to her house to play, and even said she would give it to her before leaving. However, Xiao Doukou was very principled and would not ask for other people's things, even if they were given to her.
Sick children are always fragile and need to hold dolls to seek a sense of security. Chen Ying suggested that Zhou Baixi wait for a while and let him take the pillow to Xiao Doukou.
For some reason, the lights downstairs in the apartment building suddenly went out tonight. Chen Ying was a little scared and hesitated, not daring to take another step forward.
She was about to turn on the flashlight on her phone when a beam of light suddenly appeared behind her. She turned around and saw Zhou Baixi was already standing behind her, having turned on the flashlight before her.
"Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."
I felt instantly safe.
In the darkness, two figures walked side by side in the dim light, just like many years ago, when they finally got through the hypnotic evening self-study and went home. The alley without street lights was pitch black with no light or shadow, but there was always a beam of light behind them to illuminate the way forward. He was a tranquilizer in times of anxiety and a guardian of the end of the road.
The lights in the living room were turned on. Zhou Baixi hurried back and did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door waiting.
There was a bag of trash at the door, and Zhou Baixi thought he'd take it down when he went downstairs. Perhaps someone had touched it, the bag had fallen to the side, and some of the trash had leaked out. Zhou Baixi subconsciously picked up the broom next to him and swept it up.
"Oh, now housekeeping requires such handsome guys?"
A woman stood at the door with a suitcase and a coat draped over her wrist.
Zhou Baixi smiled awkwardly and calmly poured the garbage into the trash bag.
His inner thoughts: Not embarrassing, not embarrassing, just an ordinary male domestic worker.
The woman walked straight into the house and made eye contact with Chen Ying, who was about to come out.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh baby! I'm back!"
The two of them hugged each other and jumped excitedly, completely forgetting that there was someone outside the door.
"Aren't you coming back tomorrow?"
"I came back early to surprise you. I bought a lot of little goldfish pendants!"
Little goldfish! Chen Ying then remembered that Zhou Baixi was still outside. She strode to the door and handed the little goldfish-shaped pillow in her hand to Zhou Baixi.
Ye Jinyi’s suitcase was very big. One side was filled with clothes, and the other side was filled with snacks and gifts. The snacks were for Chen Ying, and the gifts were also for Chen Ying.
After sharing a short moment on the sofa, Ye Jinyi laid down in Chen Ying's arms, grabbed her face and said distressedly, "Baby, why are you losing weight again? Are you working too hard?"
Chen Ying slapped her hand away. "How can you be thinner? Your weight hasn't changed. You're still fat."
Ye Jin looked left and right, and it seemed that there was indeed not much change, but she cared too much about Chen Ying and subconsciously felt that she had lost weight.
"I still think you're too thin. You need to eat more and start running with me tomorrow."
Chen Ying shook her head and was about to say something when she suddenly stopped.
"I don't think I've eaten yet." She felt a little guilty when she said this.
Sure enough, Ye Jinyi's expression changed immediately and he sat up from the sofa.
She usually eats on time without missing a meal, but today was just a coincidence. After work, she went to the hospital to see Xiao Doukou. When the elders in the room asked her with concern whether she had eaten dinner, she subconsciously answered that she had. After returning home, she ran into Ye Jinyi who came back early. She was so happy that she really thought she had eaten.
It was nine o'clock in the evening. Chen Ying didn't want to go to the kitchen or eat anything else. She went to Ye Jinyi's suitcase and found two boxes of potato chips and a bag of spicy strips, and just made do with it.
Ye Jinyi picked up a spicy strip and suddenly thought of the handsome housekeeping worker. He felt that the threshold for work is getting higher and higher.
"What a waste! Such a handsome guy has become a domestic worker. What a shame."
Chen Ying swallowed the last bite of spicy noodles and asked casually, "Where did you see it?"
"Just now, at the door." Picking up another spicy strip, Ye Jinyi was still puzzled, "Didn't you order it? Have you forgotten?"
Chen Ying stared at Ye Jinyi intently, "You are not talking about the one just now..."
"Yeah."
Chen Ying burst out laughing as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke. "Brother, he's Zhou Baixi."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyi sat up straight, his eyes widened as he asked, "Zhou Baixi!? Was that Zhou Baixi just now?!"
The living Zhou Baixi! She finally met Zhou Xueba in person, brushed past him, smiled, and mistook him for a housekeeper!
But that's right, "You two are so familiar with each other? He even helps you take out the trash so naturally."
Chen Ying didn't pay attention to the garbage disposal, but she couldn't help getting excited when she heard her say that. She felt shy at the same time and still felt it was hard to believe.
She put on her shoes, opened the door and took a look. There seemed to be a bag of garbage there before, but she forgot to throw it away before going out in the morning, and it was gone now.
When Zhou Baixi was mentioned, she couldn't help laughing. Ye Jinyi knew it too and kept saying Zhou Baixi's name to tease her, successfully making Chen Ying blush. The two of them collapsed on the sofa and laughed for a while before going to take a shower and rest.
Chen Ying took a shower first and then lay in bed to draw.
Ye Jinyi, wearing a bow, bought a kite and insisted on taking Chen Ying with her to fly it.
"Hurry, hurry! It's flying. Run for me for a while and don't let the kite fall." Ye Jinyi was tired of running, so he stuffed the string into Chen Ying's hand, pushed her, and then stopped to rest.
Chen Ying was ordered to run while pulling the kite string. She didn't want to run or fly the kite, but she also didn't want to disappoint Ye Jinyi.
The crowd was running happily, the wind was blowing in their faces, in such an atmosphere, the haze was blown away, and Chen Ying became happier and happier as she ran, and the blockage in her heart seemed to have dissipated, and she felt comfortable and happy. The bad mood flew high into the sky with the kite and then disappeared.
Ye Jinyi smiled with relief behind her.
Good girlfriends are meant to heal each other~
Just as she finished writing the text and before she could send it out, the door of the room suddenly opened. Then, a creature still covered in moisture rushed onto the bed and squeezed in with Chen Ying.
"I want to sleep with you."
Chen Ying silently turned off her iPad and put it aside, then opened her arms and greeted him: "Sir, 500 per night, cash only~"
Ye Jinyi quickly got into bed, resting his head on Chen Ying's shoulder, and said pitifully, "But I don't have any money, I'm so poor. How about selling my art? I cook delicious food~"
"Okay, okay, all is fine. You'd better get out of here. This is so corny."
Chen Ying couldn't stand it anymore, goose bumps appeared on her skin, and she pushed Chen Ying to tickle her.
Ye Jinyi was giggling when her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw the letters "honey" on the screen were particularly eye-catching.
She giggled and answered the call. After introducing Chen Ying to him, the two began to talk sweetly. The other party's voice said sweet words across the network cable: "Oh~ Good evening, my Yiyi. We have been apart for half a day. The roses you gave me are almost withered. Even the roses are saying that they miss you very much. When you are free, can you take some time to think about me~"
"My dear boyfriend, I don't have time to think about you today. When I think about coming home, my mind is full of the stars in my home. You know, she hangs high in the night sky, very noble. It took me a long time to catch up with her, but she is so precious~"
Ye Jinyi had no intention of avoiding Chen Ying when she was saying sweet words to her boyfriend. Chen Ying also didn't expect that he would appear in her sweet words. For a moment, her expression was complicated.
Ye Jinyi's boyfriend was a little jealous. After all, they were best friends, so he understood. "Dear Miss Ye, during the long time I won't be able to see you tomorrow, can you please send me a message once in a while? I've been away from you for so long, and I miss you so much~"
"You have roses, and my star baby only has me. I will miss her all day tomorrow. If she ignores me, I can look for you. If Mr. Xiao doesn't have time to pay attention to me, then forget it."
Chen Ying: I don’t have time to care about you, don’t cue me.
You two can flirt if you want, but why bring me along?
The two of them stayed together for a while, and finally decided to hang up. They didn't even want to blink when they hung up, as if they wanted to go through the phone screen to the other side.
"Alright, alright, alright. You hung up a long time ago but are still staring at your phone. Your eyes are sore." Chen Ying looked at her with disdain, feeling very disappointed in her.
"What are you talking about? You're just a little moved. Ye Jinyi, you're too reserved. You really want to marry her."
Ye Jin threw his phone aside, lay down on his side facing Chen Ying, and said with a smile: "I really have this plan, but I don't know what he thinks. In fact, I have been attracted to him for a long time. It's love at first sight. We quietly approached each other and it came naturally."
She chuckled, not hiding her love for Mr. Xiao at all.
"What about you? And Zhou Baixi?"
