It was a little late when Xia Xi returned to the city, so he didn't go to the company and went straight home.
Xia Xi drove on the return trip, and Huang Shiyu asked her to just drop him off at the subway station.
When she got home, Su Jinru was packing the two children's school bags; school would start in a few days. Xia Yue occupied the kitchen, preparing dinner. Xia Xi had just changed her shoes and walked into the living room when she heard a "Ah!" and hurriedly put down her bag and ran to the kitchen.
Su Jinru also heard the noise and hurried over: "What happened?"
Xia Yue covered her hand, blood oozing from between her fingers. She smiled at Xia Xi and Su Jinru as if nothing had happened, "I accidentally cut my hand."
There were chicken pieces on the chopping board, which must have been chopped. Xia Xi frowned and nervously grabbed her hand to check. There was a deep cut on her left index finger, which kept bleeding, and a piece of the nail was cut off.
"I'll take you to the hospital!" Xia Xi ran to the living room to get the medicine box and first treated the wound simply to prevent more bleeding. "The wound is too deep. You need a tetanus shot."
"No, just stop the bleeding."
"We can't be careless about something like this." Xia Xi pulled her out of the kitchen.
Su Jinru followed behind and advised: "Listen to your sister and go to the hospital immediately. I will cook the meal and you can eat when you come back."
Xia Yue couldn't persuade them, so she had to take off her apron, put on her coat and go out with Xia Xi.
After a trip to the hospital, the two returned to find Su Jinru already prepared dinner. Youyou ran to Xia Yue. She was now very familiar with Xia Yue and took her hand with concern. "Does it hurt? Let me give you some comfort."
Xia Yue felt no pain, only happiness. She squatted down and touched Youyou's little face: "The doctor gave me medicine and an injection. The bleeding has stopped. It will be fine in a few days."
"Then let's eat quickly." Youyou led her to the restaurant. "Mom said that if you're not feeling well, eating more nutritious food will help you get better faster."
Xia Yue wiped her hands with a wet tissue and sat down to eat. Seeing that her fingers were clumsy from the thick gauze bandages, Youyou offered to peel shrimp for her.
Xia Yue's eyes were wet, and the corners of her mouth curved up: "Thank you, Youyou."
"You're welcome." Youyou twisted her body in the chair, happy to serve others.
Xia Xi felt very relieved to see that the two of them were getting along well.
After dinner, Xia Xi cleared the dishes and took them to the kitchen, putting them in the dishwasher. Then, she came out and said to Su Jinru and Xia Yue, "I have something to talk to you about. Shall we go to the room?"
Su Jinru and Xia Yue looked at each other and nodded.
Xia Xi first settled the two children, turned on the TV, and asked them: "What do you want to watch?"
Ziheng wanted to watch Ultraman, but Youyou pouted and disagreed, saying she wanted to watch the Disney animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Ziheng crossed his arms and glanced at her: "You've already seen it twenty times!"
She had memorized all the lines in the movie, so it was no problem for her to act it out herself.
Youyou: "It depends."
Ziheng compromised: "Let's see."
Xia Xi smiled, rubbed her son's head, found the Snow White cartoon, turned it on, turned up the volume, then went into the room and closed the door.
Su Jinru and Xia Yue were waiting for her inside. They didn't know what she was going to say, so she was so mysterious and deliberately avoided the children.
Xia Xi sat down on the sofa, grabbed a pillow and hugged it in her arms. Without any preface, she informed them directly: "I will be living with Xu Yanfeng from now on."
Her words were like thunderbolts, and Su Jinru and Xia Yue's expressions were exactly the same, both of them were surprised. Su Jinru stared at her face: "You and him got back together?"
Xia Xi shook her head: "No."
She explained the whole story clearly. The room was silent for a few seconds. Xia Yue asked a question first: "Are you going to accompany him alone, or are you taking the child with you?"
Xia Xi didn't specifically ask Xu Yanfeng this question, but Xu Yanfeng always said that he wanted to cultivate a relationship with the child, so of course he would bring the child along.
To get a definitive answer, Xia Xi pulled out her phone and sent a message to Xu Yanfeng to confirm: "You want me to live with you and the child for a hundred days?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Do you want to be alone with me?"
Xia Xi was choked, put down the phone, did not reply to him, raised his head and said to Xia Yue: "Take the child with you."
Xia Yue suddenly clenched her fingers. A pain in her fingertips made her realize she had an injury on her hand. If she exerted too much force, it would bleed easily. She quickly loosened her fingers and said hesitantly, "Then Youyou will have to..."
When she said this, Xia Xi suddenly realized that Youyou didn't know her own life story yet, so she couldn't just take Ziheng with her and leave Youyou behind. However, if she took Youyou with her, her elder sister had finally established a relationship with Youyou, and she couldn't separate them.
Xia Xi pulled the pillow away from her arms, sat up straight, and felt a little worried.
Xia Yue thought for a moment, not wanting to see Xia Xi embarrassed. "Then bring both children with you. It's not like we won't see each other. I can go see Youyou on weekends when she's not in school, or you can bring her back. Although I'm her mother, she'd rather be with you, Xixi, right now."
Su Jinru was a little worried: "Is Xu Yanfeng doing this for the child, or is he looking for an excuse to make things difficult for Xixi?"
"Based on my understanding of him, he shouldn't be that kind of person." Xia Yue patted the back of his mother's hand gently and gave her a hint with his eyes, telling her not to say too much. Maybe they would reconcile with each other as they got along.
That's what makes everyone happy.
Xia Yue had to consider Xia Xi, not Youyou. She had sacrificed so much for this family, and it was time to consider her personal feelings. She believed in her own judgment and would not misjudge Xu Yanfeng.
Before Xia Xi could make up her mind, she suddenly noticed that the door was ajar. The two little heads came together, and it was unknown how long they had been eavesdropping.
Ziheng's face was full of surprise, and Youyou's face was full of sadness. Xia Xi's heart trembled, and she stood up suddenly: "Youyou..." She began to recall what they had just said, and wondered if Youyou had heard anything.
