This was followed by a long silence.
Bai Xiao realized that this wasn't a good solution.
Besides, it's so late, I should go home.
It's not a good thing for a man and a woman to be alone together.
After a while, Bai Xiao moved her body, pretending to be about to wake up.
Then, she opened her tightly closed eyes and asked Li Zhenfeng in a daze, "Where is this? How did I get here?"
Li Zhenfeng looked at Bai Xiao; in fact, he already knew she was faking being drunk while he was in the car.
But I still replied to her.
“This is inside your residential complex. I saw that you were drunk, and it wasn’t convenient for you to go home, so I’ll wait here for you to sober up.”
Upon hearing Li Zhenfeng's answer, Bai Xiao pretended to be very surprised.
"Oh, Li Zhenfeng, you're the one who brought me home. Thank you so much. I'm going home now."
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, she quickly got off Li Zhenfeng's lap and ran home at top speed.
I told my parents beforehand that I was going out with my classmates tonight and might be back late.
Bai Xiao's parents were relatively understanding.
They also knew that their daughter would be on winter vacation soon.
Moreover, the results of this exam were also quite good.
Did they allow it because they wanted to go out and have fun?
Using her fingerprint to open the door, she saw that the living room light was still on; her mother hadn't gone to sleep. This was the first time Bai Xiao had come home so late. Although Bai Xiao's mother had agreed, she was still a little worried and couldn't sleep, so she simply watched TV in the living room and waited for Bai Xiao to come home.
"Mom, I'm home."
Bai Xiao greeted her mother.
When Bai Xiao's mother heard her daughter's voice, she turned around and saw that her daughter's face was a little red. She thought that her daughter was drunk.
However, he didn't say anything, nor did he ask his daughter why she came home so late.
He simply walked straight to the kitchen.
Soon, she brought out a bowl of soup.
Bai Xiao knew it was hangover soup. Every time her father came home, sometimes when Bai Xiao slept late, she would see her mother go to the kitchen and bring out a bowl of hangover soup.
"Xiaoxiao, drink this hangover soup before you go to sleep. It will make you feel better tomorrow morning and you won't have a headache."
Because Bai Xiao's father often went out for business dinners at night, and each time he would drink a lot of alcohol with the guests. Moreover, as his business grew bigger and bigger, he came home later and later. He often had to rush to several events in one night, and every time he came home, his subordinates had to help him back.
After the person who brought him back left.
At this moment, Bai Xiao's mother went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of soup to Bai Xiao's father.
Therefore, hangover soup has become a must-have in every household.
Bai Xiao's mother would cook it in a pot every night so that Bai Xiao's father could drink it when he got home.
"Drink slowly. Don't choke."
Bai Xiao's mother hadn't finished speaking.
Then they saw Bai Xiao take the hangover soup and gulp it down like water.
Li Zhenfeng's kiss just now made her face feel hot.
She desperately needs water to cool down and calm herself down.
Unexpectedly, a sour taste choked my throat.
Bai Xiao suddenly coughed.
I coughed so hard that tears and snot came out.
"I told you to drink slowly."
Her mother's tone seemed somewhat reproachful, but she still took a tissue from the tissue box on the coffee table and handed it to Bai Xiao.
This was Bai Xiao's first time drinking hangover soup.
I used to think it tasted really good when I saw my dad gulp it down in one go.
I didn't expect it to be so sour.
It's even sourer than eating a sour apricot.
Wipe away snot and tears with tissue.
Bai Xiao then asked.
"Mom, it's so late, Dad still hasn't come home?"
"No, not yet. He called tonight and said he has some social engagements today. He probably won't be back until very late."
"Mom, Dad is working too hard. When you have time, you should talk to him and tell him to take care of his health. Don't overwork yourself."
Bai Xiao said.
"Okay, go to sleep now. It's very late. Remember to take a hot bath to feel better."
"Okay, Mom."
Bai Xiao's mother didn't respond to her daughter's words, but instead urged her to go to sleep quickly.
Bai Xiao obediently returned to her room.
Every time this topic comes up, Mom changes the subject.
Bai Xiao had already gotten used to it.
I took a hot shower and lay down in bed.
Bai Xiao's bedroom is quite large, about 80 square meters. The house was bought by her father after he earned some money. There are five rooms in total: one for her parents, one for her, one for her younger brother, a study, and a guest room. Each room has its own bathroom. She remembers that the whole family used to live in a house that was only a few square meters.
Fang Yue watched her daughter's departing figure, her vision gradually blurring. She and her husband were childhood sweethearts, and after growing up, they naturally got married and later had a lovely daughter.
She knew that ever since her father-in-law was framed and the whole family was kicked out of the Bai family, her husband had changed and become even more desperate. He wanted to use his own abilities to return to the Bai family.
They had just been evicted and had nothing. Fang Yue had to sell his jewelry to afford rent. At that time, the whole family squeezed into a small rented 80-square-meter apartment. His parents were still alive then. However, since his father-in-law was evicted by his relatives, he had clearly suffered a blow, and his health deteriorated day by day.
Her in-laws had always treated her well, but unfortunately, they didn't live to see their son earn enough money to buy them a bigger house and take them back to the Bai family home. Her father-in-law passed away, and her mother-in-law also died of a serious illness a year later.
Fang Yue moved to this house a few years ago. Looking at this big house, she was not happy at all. Although the old house was small, it was very cozy. Back then, although there was not much money, her husband did not come home as late as he does now, and he did not work as hard as he does now.
She knew her husband was under a lot of pressure. Since his parents passed away, he had been driving himself crazy, but she couldn't do anything to help. She could only watch helplessly.
She knew he was working so hard because he wanted to be recognized by the Bai family and fulfill his dying wish. But she couldn't tell her daughter any of this.
Thinking of this, Fang Yue got up. She wanted to see her youngest son. He was born when her father-in-law was still alive, but the family was poor and he was premature. He had to stay in an incubator for a month and had always been weak. She was afraid he would catch a cold.
Sure enough, once inside the house, they found that their youngest son had kicked off the blankets again.
This child is really too weak.
My child catches a cold and fever as soon as he gets chilled, while other children recover in a few days.
He gets pneumonia every time he catches a cold, and he has to stay in the hospital for several days to recover each time.
Fang Yue carefully covered her son with the blanket and tucked his four legs inside to prevent him from kicking it off again.
Only then did he return to his room.
My daughter is back.
She stopped waiting in the living room.
The table lamp in the room was always on.
Bai Xiao lay in bed, her mind filled with images of Li Zhenfeng kissing her forehead.
