It was almost time for dinner when the alarm on his cell phone rang. Lin Xinyu opened his eyes first and then turned off the annoying alarm.
The little girl turned over and continued to sleep in Lin Xinyu's arms. She hadn't woken up yet, with her mouth slightly open, looking very cute.
Since they were not in their own home, Bai Shihan's clothes were not torn this time. Instead, they lay intact on the sofa beside the bed.
"Then take a nap for a while, I'll go downstairs to help with the cooking."
"No, let's rest together~" Bai Shihan said dazedly, stretching out her arms to wrap around Lin Xinyu's neck, rubbing her face against his chest, looking very comfortable.
"Be good, it would be bad if I didn't go to help. You help with the lunch at noon, and I'll go in the evening."
Bai Shihan pouted, looking aggrieved: "But I just want to stay with you..."
Seeing her look, Lin Xinyu couldn't help laughing and touched her head lovingly: "Okay, let's take a break together, and then go downstairs to eat."
As for the bad influence or something, I will wait until tomorrow at noon and cook for them with the little girl. Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun won’t mind anyway. It’s just a matter of politeness.
At the same time, Bai Chen and the others in the room did not get up at this moment. Unlike Lin Xinyu, they did not set the so-called alarm clock. They just fell asleep in each other's arms. It was so sweet. They were even happier than a couple in love.
By the time Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan recovered and came down from upstairs, they had already prepared their words, but since they hadn't seen Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun, they subconsciously thought that they had gone out to buy groceries, and never thought that the two were still at home.
It was not until Lin Xinyu opened the refrigerator that he realized something was wrong. The refrigerator was clearly full of vegetables, so why did he still go out?
"There are still a lot of food in the refrigerator. Let's cook first and then they can eat directly when they come back." Lin Xinyu looked at Bai Shihan standing aside. The little girl was very active and even wanted to finish the job alone.
"Men and women work together, and the work is not tiring. I will be responsible for chopping vegetables and cooking, and you will be responsible for cooking and washing dishes."
"???"
Hearing this, Bai Shihan was immediately unhappy: "I want to cook too, I know how to cook, you just cut the vegetables."
Lin Xinyu smiled and did not refute: "Okay, I'll only be responsible for cutting the vegetables, and you'll be responsible for cooking."
After the two of them discussed it, they started cooking.
Because there were not many dishes today, they prepared them quickly and placed them on the table. Then, after waiting for half an hour and seeing Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun still didn't come back, Bai Shihan couldn't hold back any longer.
"Do you want to call Dad and the others? The food will get cold soon."
Although she was anxious, Bai Shihan did not lose her composure and remained calm.
"It's okay, I'll do it."
After Lin Xinyu finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and called Bai Chen.
Unfortunately, there was a power-off tone from the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong?" Bai Shihan looked at him puzzledly.
Lin Xinyu shook his head: "It's okay, I guess they are out of power outside, I'll call Aunt Qiu."
"Uh-huh."
After the call was connected, it was picked up within a few seconds.
"Hey, Auntie, are you guys outside? Shihan and I have already prepared dinner."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Qiu Jingyun's voice came: "It's already evening? Let's come down later."
Before Lin Xinyu could continue asking, there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
…
In the room.
Qiu Jingyun nudged Bai Chen beside her, and seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she had no choice but to call him softly, "Old Bai, get up. Shihan and the others have already prepared dinner."
Hearing the shout, Bai Chen frowned and muttered, turned over, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Who knew that the other party didn't tolerate him at all and woke him up from his sleep with a slap.
"Hurry up and get dressed, and tidy up. I told you to have a good rest but you didn't listen and insisted on..." Qiu Jingyun didn't continue talking, but put on all her clothes and left the room first.
Bai Chen was left lying on the big bed, scratching his head in frustration, looking confused.
…
Ten minutes later, in the kitchen.
Qiu Jingyun stood at the door and watched them. Seeing that the two of them cooperated well, one was responsible for washing the dishes and the other was responsible for plating them, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This scene is really very similar to when they first got married. Although it is hard, they can always enjoy this rare warmth.
"Mom, you go to the living room and rest first. Leave this to Xinyu and me." While Lin Xinyu was arranging the dishes, the little girl went to Qiu Jingyun. Now she seemed to have returned to the little Shihan who liked to stick to them when she was a child.
"No need to cook so many dishes. There's enough, enough." Qiu Jingyun waved her hands repeatedly. This was not cooking at all. She did a quick count and found that there were about a dozen dishes in total. There was no way that seven people could finish them.
"It's not much. Put the leftovers in the refrigerator and eat them tomorrow. Wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?" Bai Shihan took Qiu Jingyun's hand and acted coquettishly for the first time.
Seeing how excited Xiaohan was, Qiu Jingyun couldn't bear to refuse, so she turned around and left the kitchen, letting them do what they wanted in the kitchen.
Not long after, Bai Chen also came down from upstairs. He hadn't woken up yet, and he only felt a little pain after being hit. Logically speaking, dreams shouldn't be so real. After he came to his senses, he remembered what Qiu Jingyun said, that the children had already prepared dinner.
"Sorry, I slept a little too long." Bai Chen came behind Qiu Jingyun, pinched her shoulders, and gently massaged her neck.
"They are very considerate. They were afraid that the food would get cold, so they went to heat it up. They thought we were out. It's all your fault. I told you to have a good rest, but you insisted on exercising more." Qiu Jingyun blushed a little after saying this, and felt very happy at the same time.
Bai Chen didn't know how many times he had avoided her. This time he took the initiative to hand over his stored grain, which was completely beyond her expectations.
"I haven't submitted my paper for a long time because I've been thinking about it. I'm afraid you won't say that I was hooked up with a vixen outside."
Qiu Jingyun raised her foot and kicked him: "The children will come out soon, don't talk about this for now."
At this moment, if it were in the past, Qiu Jingyun would definitely not be so reserved. After all, she is old and would definitely let the other party continue to surrender.
After a while, Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan began to bring the hot dishes to the table.
When Qiu Baichen saw the delicious food on the table, he was instantly attracted. Although he knew they could cook, he never thought they could cook much better than him.
Lin Xinyu greeted: "Shihan cooked all the dishes tonight!"
Generally speaking, in matters of this kind, he always pushed the benefits to Bai Shihan. He himself didn't care and just wanted the little girl to gain confidence and increase her courage.
Bai Shihan also knew why Lin Xinyu said that, and couldn't help but grin: "Dad, Mom, come sit down and taste my cooking."
Hearing this, Qiu Jingyun smiled and praised: "My Shihan is really getting better and better."
As he said this, he sat down first, followed by Bai Chen, and finally Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan.
The four of them sat around the dining table. The atmosphere was very harmonious and they got along more and more like a family.
In the past, when they had meals together, in the absence of Lin Xinyu, they all ate separately and rarely chatted. Even if they did, their responses were mechanical and there was basically no emotion. It was nothing like it is now. No matter what was said, there was always someone to pick up the conversation. The atmosphere was relaxed and there was no pressure at all.
Qiu Jingyun suddenly realized that this was real life. In the past, she was always busy with company matters and had never experienced this feeling.
So I took a deep breath and became more resolute in my mind that I must not schedule my work too full in the future and try to spend more time on my family and children.
…
After dinner, it was Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan who cleaned up the dishes.
It’s not that Bai Chen and the others were too lazy to clean up, but Lin Xinyu and Xiao Hanhan volunteered and didn’t give them any chance at all.
Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun were not pedantic people. Since the children were willing to work, they just let them do as they pleased. They were happy and relaxed.
"It seems that I was right not to object before. You see, since Shihan and Xinyu have been together, her personality has changed a lot. She has become lively and cheerful. Not only has she changed, but even the relationship between us has changed a lot. Do you think we will be as harmonious as today? Will Shihan be so happy to chat with us?"
Bai Chen nodded as Qiu Jingyun spoke. It was indeed because Lin Xinyu and the others were together.
"Do you still regret them being together now?" Qiu Jingyun asked.
Bai Chen shook his head slightly: "No regrets."
He now even hopes that this kind of life will never end. He feels very satisfied when he opens his eyes every day and sees his wife and daughter.
Qiu Jingyun patted the back of his hand with relief and said with a smile: "I thought this kid was good at the beginning, and it seems that I was right about him."
Bai Chen smiled and put his arm around her waist, whispering in her ear: "You always have good taste."
After saying this, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The same was true for the two people in the kitchen. Not only were Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun being affectionate in the living room, but they were also touching each other's hands, and from time to time they did not forget to smear detergent bubbles on each other's faces, having a lot of fun.
…
The night gradually darkened, the moon hung high above the branches, the sky was full of stars, and the Milky Way was dazzling.
A breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness and the fragrance of flowers, making people feel refreshed, as if they are in fairyland.
Lin Xinyu was sitting on the balcony holding Bai Shihan.
Because it is located in a manor and there are no high-rise buildings around it, the twinkling stars in the sky are very conspicuous, and each one seems to be very close.
Lin Xinyu put his hand on Bai Shihan's leg: "You know, this scene has appeared in my dreams countless times."
Bai Shihan looked at the starry sky with a smile, and followed Lin Xinyu's words: "In the dream, are we like now, me lying in your arms?"
Lin Xinyu gently stroked Bai Shihan's soft long hair and said seriously: "Yes, I still remember that your voice was very sweet. Listening to you humming a song was really a pleasure."
The little girl raised her head, leaned over and pecked Lin Xinyu on the lips, then rubbed his chest aggrievedly: "I, I can't sing."
Lin Xinyu rubbed her head lovingly: "It's okay, I can sing for you."
"Um!"
Lin Xinyu began to sing slowly, his voice was elegant, pouring out like flowing water, making Bai Shihan unable to help but be intoxicated by it.
The lyrics in the Star Moon Mythology clearly talk about regret, but for Lin Xinyu, he has already embraced the girl who breathes the same air as him, and has successfully made her always by his side. He will not ask like the lyrics: Where will you be a thousand years later, what kind of scenery will be around you...
But being able to hold the person you love tightly in your arms.
At the end of the song, Bai Shihan's eyes were filled with tears. She leaned in Lin Xinyu's arms and murmured, "I like you so much."
Lin Xinyu hugged her and kissed her on the forehead: "Me too."
Sometimes you don't have to say a lot of sweet words, just three simple words "me too" can express it perfectly.
Bai Shihan snuggled up to Lin Xinyu, listening quietly to his heartbeat, and felt that there was no happiest thing in the world, to be able to stay with the person she loved for the rest of her life, to be with him/her forever, and to spend the rest of her life together.
"I, we want to be together forever."
Looking at the starry sky, Bai Shihan made a solemn promise.
"Of course." Lin Xinyu touched her nose with his nose tip and replied gently, "No matter what the future holds, I will protect you and stay by your side, and never leave you."
"Me too." Bai Shihan held his hand tightly. They looked at each other for a long time. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore and their lips touched.
During this period of time, the relationship between Bai Shihan and Lin Xinyu did not become distant due to spending too much time together, but instead became stronger.
The little girl smiled more and more often, and became much more lively and cheerful. She herself knew very well that the reason for this was almost all due to the man in front of her.
This bad guy named Lin Xinyu always made her feel safe and warm, making her reluctant to leave.
"I, I..." Maybe influenced by the atmosphere, the little fool was a little moved.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xinyu looked into her eyes tenderly.
"I, I want a little Han..."
Hearing this, even Lin Xinyu, who had always been able to guess Bai Shihan's thoughts, was a little unbelievable at this moment. He stared blankly at the delicate and pretty face in front of him. After a while, he realized what she had just said.
"Xiao Xiao Han? You still want a Xiao Xiao Han?"
The little girl blushed, nodded with determination, and then buried her head in Lin Xinyu's arms again, and said in a whisper: "I, I want a proof of our love..."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Lin Xinyu understood and immediately thought of Luo Xixi. It must be that the little silly girl misunderstood the meaning of letting the two of them stay together last time.
"Silly, don't worry now. When we get married in the future, we will need several certificates."
"Um……"
This time, no matter how shy the little girl was, she nodded in agreement with a blushing face.
