Xia Wan turned her head to look at Xie Yan in confusion. Although she said nothing, her eyes were still full of confusion.
The girl's face was only the size of a palm, and his figure seemed to be reflected in her clear eyes. A rose was pinned to her ear. The red rose and the pink lips made it hard to tell who was more eye-catching.
The next second, Xia Wan watched as Xie Ren suddenly stuffed a whole bouquet of roses into her arms and strode forward.
The boy said with a hint of impatience, "What are you doing standing on the road? Hurry up and move on."
Xia Wan: "???"
She looked at the rose in her arms, then looked at Xie's disgusting back in front of her, and felt completely bewildered.
She had clearly been urging him to hurry up just now, but it was he who insisted on buying roses for the child.
"Hey! You're so annoying! Who is the one who's been dragging his feet until now? Do you have any sense?" Xia Wan was very dissatisfied. She ran after him with the roses in her arms and shouted, "And take the things you bought yourself! What are you doing to me?"
Xie said slowly, "It's not very good looking either. I'll give it to you."
Wei Chiyan followed behind the two of them, still immersed in his own little world.
He reached out and touched his silver hair, then looked at the two people's backs. Are they really so different?
He held up his phone to take a picture of his face again, and began to wonder if he would look more handsome if he dyed his silver hair black.
Then bring Xie Lian and Xia Mu over and let the kid choose again.
Of course, this thought was short-lived. Wei Chiyan still couldn't bear to part with his silver hair, so he thought about it briefly and then put it out of his mind.
Wei Chiyan quickened his pace to catch up with the two people in front, but when his eyes fell on Xia Wan's waist, he was stunned.
This is too thin.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked down at his hands, feeling as if he could hold it with one hand.
Oh my god——
Wei Chiyan's face immediately revealed a hint of disgust.
Xia Mu must be in very poor health.
He remembered that Xia Mu didn't look that weak at the last banquet at the Xia family. Has his health been worse recently?
He needs to have a good talk with Xia Mu. He must put exercise on the agenda at the latest after the college entrance examination. Otherwise, with his thin arms and waist, no girl would be interested in him in the future.
Wei Chiyan was thinking this and had already started thinking about which gym to take Xia Mu to after the college entrance examination and which muscle to start training first.
And ahead.
Xia Wan wanted to force the huge and heavy bouquet of roses back into Xie Ren's arms, but Xie Ren still refused, and his attitude was very obvious. Either Xia Wan took it, or he would throw it into the trash can.
After all, it was a shame to throw it away after spending money on it. Besides, the flowers were so beautiful. Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted her fate by holding the bouquet of roses and said, "If you buy something and throw it at me again, I will throw you into the trash can."
"Got it." Xie Yan said, and then his hand fell on her head and touched it twice, just like stroking a cat's fur.
Xia Wan stared at Xie with wide eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xie looked at Xia Wan with disdain, slowly withdrew his hand, and then praised her very sincerely: "Your wig feels good."
Xia Wan: "..."
There's something wrong with him!
*
When the three returned to the restaurant, only Song Zhili was waiting for them.
Song Zhili's gaze fell on Xia Wan, who was wearing a skirt, and his drooped eyelashes blocked the expression in his eyes.
Xia Wan thought that Song Zhili just couldn't accept "his good brother wearing women's clothes" for a while. She put the rose on the table and asked awkwardly: "It's weird and ugly, isn't it? Just bear with it, it will be taken off in two hours."
"No." Song Zhili shook his head, looked at her and said, "Not strange, very beautiful."
At this moment, Xie Yan's voice rang out, and he changed the subject and asked, "Song Zhili, why are you the only one here? Where are Su Qi and Jiang Yushi?"
Song Zhili replied: "Su Qi hasn't come back yet, Jiang Yushi is already upstairs taking care of Lingling."
After Song Zhili finished speaking, he was about to take a few people upstairs.
Of course before going up, they went to say hello to the boss first.
The moment he saw Xia Wan again, the boss' eyes welled up with tears. He bowed to Xia Wan repeatedly to express his gratitude for her willingness to dress up as a woman to help his daughter fulfill her dream.
This restaurant has two floors in total. The second floor is filled with private rooms, but there is a special room that does not have a large round table, but instead has many beds and toys. When Lingling's father works in the restaurant and has no time to take care of Lingling, he lets her play alone in this room.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Yushi, who was playing with Lingling with building blocks, raised his head and looked over.
The next second, Lingling immediately dropped the building blocks in her hand, staggered towards Xia Wan, and burst into tears again.
She cried and shouted: "Mom...Mom...Is it you this time, Mom..."
Xia Wan squatted down, reached out to wipe Lingling's tears, and said softly: "Lingling, be good, it's mommy, today is Lingling's birthday, right? Mommy is back to see you, why are you crying all the time, Lingling? Aren't you happy to see mommy?"
"No, I'm happy. I...I saw my mother is happy." The child was crying excitedly. After hearing Xia Wan's words, he immediately tried to hold back his tears, but he couldn't control his body and continued to twitch. Although he didn't make any sound, he cried even harder.
Jiang Yushi also stood up from his seat and handed a tissue to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan took it, patiently helped Lingling wipe away her tears, and coaxed her to sit on the sofa.
Lingling didn't say a word but just hugged Xia Wan tightly and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that she would disappear if she let go.
Lingling talked for a long time.
For example, she received several red flowers in kindergarten, every day during her nap, a little girl insisted on talking to her and made her stand together as punishment, and her father put a lot of salt in the cooking last night.
She couldn't wait to share everything about herself with her mother and let her know more about her.
Xia Wan listened quietly, looked at Lingling with a smile, and kept giving her gentle and positive responses.
This picture is beautiful.
Jiang Yushi's gaze fell on them and he was dazed for a moment.
Xia Wan...Oh no, this is Xia Mu.
Xia Mu is really good at getting along with children. Even the most experienced teachers in the welfare home are not as popular with children as he is. Even Yuanyuan liked him so much when she first met him.
But why couldn't he help but keep his eyes on Xia Mu?
After realizing this, Jiang Yushi felt very strange.
Looking at that face again, he even felt a little upset.
It is so beautiful that it attracts people's eyes instinctively.
The last time I had this strange feeling...
Or because of being with Xia Wan.
However, after thinking that the man in front of him was his good brother, Jiang Yushi's mood became very complicated.
Feeling inexplicably irritated, Jiang Yushi wanted to go downstairs to get some fresh air and be alone to clear his mind.
So he found an excuse to leave: "Why hasn't Su Qi come back yet? I'll go look for him."
But just as Jiang Yushi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Before he could escape, Su Qi came back first.
Su Qi walked in with two bags full of gifts in his hands. The moment he saw Xia Wan, he was stunned, his mouth opened wide, and blurted out: "Goddess!"
After seeing Su Qi's reaction, Jiang Yushi suddenly felt much more balanced.
Look, Su Qi had such an exaggerated reaction when he saw Xia Wan dressed as a woman. It was all because Xia Mu looked too much like his sister, so it’s understandable that he was shocked, right?
Jiang Yushi felt much better when he thought about it.
It's normal. Everyone loves beauty. It's normal. Don't think too much about it.
However, when Su Qi realized that the person in front of him was Xia Mu and not Xia Wan, he felt very embarrassed, but he could only pretend nothing had happened and quickly took the gift he had chosen.
He said, "Lingling, this is the birthday present your mother bought for you. I brought it over for her. Come and see if you like it."
Xia Wan's trust in Su Qi was right. Lingling loved every gift he bought.
Half an hour later, in order to celebrate Lingling's birthday, the restaurant closed early.
Lingling's father came in holding a big cake and put it on the table. He looked at Xia Wan with red eyes and tried to smile. He said, "Lingling, come over quickly with... Mom and your brothers to eat cake, okay?"
"Okay!" Lingling responded happily, holding Xia Wan's hand and walking towards the table.
The candles had already been placed on the cake. There were obviously not enough chairs in the room, so everyone stood around the table and sang birthday song for Lingling together.
The little girl couldn't help but stand on the chair, put her hands together, and made a wish very seriously.
The candles were blown out and the cake was cut into small pieces for everyone.
The next second, she reached out, spread some cake on it, and gently tapped it on Xia Wan's nose.
Lingling remembers that every time she celebrated her cousin's birthday, the first thing her cousin did after blowing out the candles was to spread cream on her aunt's face.
Lingling looked at Xia Wan timidly, with some anticipation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for her reaction.
Xia Wan was stunned for a moment, then hugged Lingling and rubbed her face with her nose.
Lingling immediately screamed and tried to hide away, but the smile on her face was clearly a happy one; she liked Xia Wan treating her like this.
The feeling of being able to act coquettishly and play in her mother's arms is the first time in the young girl's life, and it is also something she has been looking forward to for a long time.
Jiang Yushi's gaze was still on Xia Wan, and his originally slightly wrinkled brows gradually relaxed.
This picture is indeed beautiful.
Wei Chiyan also felt like playing, so he reached out his hand, dipped some cream and smeared it on Lingling's face.
Lingling immediately hid behind Xia Wan and shouted: "Mom, he bullied me!"
Xia Wan had completely put herself into the role of a mother at this moment, and immediately coaxed Lingling: "Okay, okay, mommy will help you teach her a lesson."
With Lingling's encouragement, Xia Wan attacked Wei Chiyan with cream on her hands.
Lingling's father, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his tears, with a smile on his face.
Song Zhili handed him the tissue.
"Thank you, especially thank you to that little boy, thank you so much." Lingling's father looked at Song Zhili and bowed to him very sincerely, and Song Zhili didn't even have time to stop him.
Then he said, "Being able to see my daughter so happy one day, I feel that my life as a father is worth it. I am not a competent father. I can't give her a complete family. I can't even give her a good life. I don't have time to take care of her when she is not in kindergarten. I can only let her play here alone. But today... today, I won't say too much, I am really too happy."
Song Zhili was silent for a few seconds, then he withdrew his gaze from Xia Wan and turned to look at the man, saying: "Don't be too sad. This is not what you thought. As long as you can do what I said today, you can rest assured that if she can really have all your love, she will not feel that you owe her anything and will definitely grow up happily."
In previous communications, Song Zhili had already learned that the man planned to raise the little girl alone and had already rejected many blind dates introduced by people.
All he had in his heart were his children and his deceased wife. He just wanted to look after this small city and this restaurant, raise his children, and live up to his wife even after a hundred years.
Xie's disgusted eyes noticed the two of them, and he also walked over, put a hand on Song Zhili's shoulder, and patted him to comfort him.
Not far away, the war between Xia Wan and Wei Chiyan has escalated to a white-hot stage under Lingling's cheering.
Wei Chiyan took advantage of the fact that Xia Wan's speed was affected by wearing high heels, and deliberately ran around the bed to prevent her from catching up with him.
Xia Wan couldn't stand it any longer, and tried to hint with her eyes: "Wei Chiyan! Let me wipe it off!"
But Wei Chiyan smiled at her arrogantly: "Don't even think about it! No one can defeat me!"
Xia Wan: "..."
Who wants to defeat him? She just wants to make Lingling happy. Can Wei Chiyan's damn desire to win not come so suddenly?
Feeling Wei Chiyan's provocation, Xia Wan's desire to win also rose up.
Being looked at with such admiration by Lingling, she was determined to subdue Wei Chiyan today and prove her own strength.
However, during the chase, Xia Wan neglected her high heels.
When Xia Wanren was still chasing, her feet had already taken a step forward, but her shoes were still in the same place, she knew that she was doomed to fail.
Literally, she was about to fall to the ground.
At that moment, the only thought in Xia Wan's mind was -
I hope her wig doesn’t fall off, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the reason to Lingling.
Fortunately, Xia Wan did not fall to the ground so miserably, because a hand grabbed her arm in time and pulled her into his arms, and both of them managed to maintain their balance.
Xia Wan took two seconds to breathe a sigh of relief, then reached out and held the arm of the person who was supporting her. She looked up and saw Jiang Yushi's face.
The last time in the supermarket, it was because of Jiang Yushi that she avoided falling too badly.
This is the second time.
The distance between the two people was too close. After Xia Wan stood firm, she wanted to get out of Jiang Yushi's arms, but her movement suddenly stopped.
Because her forearm was blocking the middle of the two bodies, and her fingers were curled up and pressed against his chest, she could feel the overly strong beating of the heart that did not belong to her.
Xia Wan did not try to distance herself from Jiang Yushi any more. Instead, she raised her head with concern. After seeing his inexplicably flushed face, she asked with more certainty, "Jiang Yushi, are you sick?"
Jiang Yushi couldn't understand.
Why is Xia Mu's body so soft, his waist so thin, and when I get so close to him I can smell a pleasant fragrance. Although I know he is a man dressed as a woman, I feel that he is more like a girl than a girl.
Jiang Yushi couldn't understand why his heart was beating so fast at this moment.
Is he really sick?
The author has something to say:
Secondly, it’s not the second time, it’s the third time.
——
Xiao Song: (smiling tenderly) Fortunately Jiang Yushi hugged her
Turn around (cry) It's okay, as long as she is not injured
Xiao Xie: (seemingly nonchalant) What are you doing?
Turning around (expressionless) Damn it, I shouldn't have gone over to comfort Song Zhili just now, otherwise I should have been the one who could hold her back
Wei Chi: Haha! I can't catch up at all haha! Xia Mu is too weak! You must work out with me during the summer vacation!
