Chapter 21 The 21st Mom
Baichuanmu quickly took Xiao Xia Youjie to buy a small shoulder bag and successfully saved the baby's big eyes.
Xiao Xia Youjie was asked to choose the small shoulder bag. He looked back and forth among the various cute styles of small shoulder bags. He actually wanted to choose a handsome style, but...
He saw a small monkey-shaped shoulder bag. The straps of the bag were the monkey's hands. Carrying it would feel like a little monkey was hugging his neck.
Xiao Xia Youjie's gaze stayed on it for several seconds. He recalled yesterday's trip to the zoo. He remembered his mother said she liked monkeys, so the small monkey-shaped bag began to sparkle in Xiao Xia Youjie's eyes.
This is mom's favorite monkey!
Xiao Xia Youjie pulled Baichuanmu's clothes, pointed at the monkey bag and said, "Mom, I want that... I think it..."
"Really?!" Bai Chuanmu was so surprised and moved that she almost cried (? She squatted down and held Xiao Xia Youjie's shoulders. Her eyes became bright, and joy and relief overflowed from them, "Baby, my baby, Xiaojie~ You have grown up!"
"Eh...?" Xiao Xia Youjie was a little at a loss, his mind was full of question marks, but at the same time he couldn't help but think that his mother was sometimes like a child.
He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and touched Bai Chuanmu's head, and said seriously: "Well, Mom, I'm grown up."
Although he didn't understand why his mother suddenly said such words, it made little Xia Youjie feel very happy. He couldn't wait to grow up quickly!
By the way, in order to have free hands to hold his mother's hand, Xiao Xia Youjie also put a few curse jades in the hood on his back. However, if he keeps leaving them like this without eating them, even if he buys a small shoulder bag to pack the curse jades, sooner or later he will not be able to put them away, right?
Little Xia Youjie was carrying a bulging little bag. Although it was almost full, he did not suggest eating a few first because he wanted to "fight side by side" with his mother.
"Hmm... Happy Bakery?" Bai Chuanmu held Xiao Xia Youjie's hand with one hand, and browsed his phone with the other hand, muttering to himself.
She doesn’t follow many people on the social platforms she uses, most of them are colleagues and classmates, and her parents don’t use social software.
The breakfast picture shared by Baichuanmu in the morning received more than a dozen likes and one reply:
[Kihara Mori]: That’s great. I haven’t made breakfast for myself in a long time. ”
Kihara Mori...
Bai Chuanmu stared at the man's profile picture and thought for a while.
Oh! This should be a message from Manager Komori, her name is Komori Midoriya.
Looking at the time... I should find time to send a message.
She was also preparing to visit her colleagues later. Bai Chuanmu clicked in to take a look. There were not many posts on her homepage, and the latest one was a complaint.
[木原森]: I went to Happy Bakery on purpose during the holidays and queued for half an hour. As a result, the red bean mochi cake I wanted the most was sold out. I only bought croissants and toast. Although they were not bad and convenient for breakfast, it was a pity T. T[picture][picture][picture].
"Happy Pastry House?" Xiao Xia Youjie also heard Bai Chuanmu's mumbling. He thought his mother was checking the map with her mobile phone. He had some impression of this name, as if he had just passed by it?
Xiao Xia Youjie looked around and found his target. He pointed across the street and said, "Mom, over there. Are you going to buy cakes there?"
"Hmm...that's right." Baichuanmu followed the direction Xiaoxia Youjie pointed and saw the pastry shop. There were still people queuing there, but it wasn't very long.
She originally wanted to buy some fruits to visit her former colleagues, but since Manager Komori mentioned the Happy Bakery, she decided to buy them there!
She also thinks that the food in a restaurant where there are long queues must be good.
"Hmm!" Xiao Xia Youjie's tone rose, he seemed quite excited, "Should I prepare to eat the Curse Spirit Jade?!"
"Hahaha..." Baichuanmu laughed dumbly and touched Xiaoxia Youjie's head, "Well, it's almost time. Mom will take you to eat delicious food later."
"Okay!" Xiao Xia Youjie responded, jumping up and down as he walked. It seemed that he couldn't wait to subdue more cursed spirits.
Baichuanmu and Xiaoxia Youjie waited in line for more than ten minutes and successfully grabbed the last piece of red bean mochi cake. She also bought some other pastries, including matcha puffs, frosting cookies, egg tarts, mango mousse, and tiramisu.
I also bought some pastries for Xiao Xia Youjie. After much thought, he chose chocolate cake.
"Mom, why did you buy so many pastries? It feels like it will take a long time to finish them." Xiao Xia Youjie asked curiously while holding his chocolate cake and looking at the big bag of pastries that Bai Chuanmu brought.
"Because mom also wants to share delicious food with friends." Baichuanmu said with a smile, "Xiaojie, do you want to go to the place where mom used to work? The food there looks delicious, too. We'll have dinner there later~"
Xiao Xia Youjie has never been to Baichuanmu's workplace, so he is very curious: "Great!"
…
Baichuanmu arrived early. The restaurant had already opened but was not very busy, so she had time to give her gift to Komori Midorara.
"Manager Komori, the pastries here seem quite good, so I bought some for everyone to try. I'd like to trouble you to share them with everyone later." Baichuanmu handed the bag of pastries to Komori Midorara.
Komori Midoriya looked at the familiar label and the like notification on his phone, and did not refuse. However, a smile seemed to appear on his expressionless face: "Okay, it seems that Kogure is in a much better mental state... Is this your child? So cute."
When talking about his own children, Bai Chuanmu was particularly excited and started showing off his children: "Of course, my Xiaojie is super cute. He has a whole page covered with little red flowers, and he is very proficient in addition and subtraction within ten! He can almost recite it out loud! Xiaojie will also take the initiative to help me wash the dishes. He knows how to feel sorry for his mother at such a young age. This child is really smart and sensible~"
Little Xia Youjie is not shy when facing strangers. He was just about to say "Hello, Auntie" to Komori Midorara, and then he received a burst of praise from his mother, and his little face turned red little by little.
He pursed his lips and tugged at Bai Chuanmu's hand, trying to hint to his mother to stop praising him, but Bai Chuanmu would not stop until he had finished praising her!
In the end, it was Xiao Xia Youjie who shook Bai Chuanmu's hand and said, "Mom, don't keep praising me... I'll be embarrassed..."
"Because Xiaojie is very good, Mom wants to praise you more," Baichuanmu stopped talking, but she was still not satisfied. She touched his head again and looked at Xiaosen Midoriya with sparkling eyes, "See, this child is very humble!"
“Hmm…” Xiao Xia Youjie buried his face in Bai Chuanmu, not wanting others to see his red little face.
Komori Midoriya chuckled and said, "Hahaha, Kogure, it seems that after you resigned, your mentality has become like that of a child. It feels like seeing a female high school student who just graduated."
Komori Midoriya! Discover the truth!
"Uh..." Bai Chuanmu shrank his head guiltily.
"This is a compliment. I rarely see you smile before."
"...Manager Komori, the same goes for you."
Komori Midoriya shook his head helplessly: "I just have a little facial paralysis. Besides, Kogure, I'm no longer your boss. Do you still call me Manager Komori?"
"Then...Sister Komori?"
"Well, it looks like you're planning to bring your kids to our restaurant for dinner today? Do you need me to recommend a few dishes to you?"
"Don't I know the signature dishes of our restaurant? But..." Bai Chuanmu paused and said, "But, can you arrange a seat in a corner for us? Somewhere that won't attract attention? Hmm, C6 or C7 would be good."
"Of course." Komori Midoriya said. She didn't ask any further questions, probably because Baichuanmu's children were shy.
In fact, it was because Xiao Xia Youjie was about to eat the Cursed Jade, so it was better to stay away from people to avoid any misunderstandings.
Bai Chuanmu ordered the food very quickly. She had already thought about what dishes she wanted to order on the way here.
Xiao Xia Youjie took out his chocolate cake and poured a cup of warm water into the glass next to it.
Everything was ready. When Xiao Xia Youjie picked up the Curse Jade, Xiao Mori Midorara came over with two bowls of mango sago.
"Huh? I didn't order this?"
Bai Chuanmu was stunned for a moment when he saw the mango sago in front of him.
Konishi Awaren quietly put the Curse Jade back and looked at Komori Midoriya. There was a Curse Jade on Komori Midoriya's shoulder at some point. It didn't look strong, and should be a Curse Jade of the level of cats and dogs. For a Curse Jade of this level, Konishi Awaren still couldn't suck it over through the air and turn it into a Curse Jade. He might need to touch it to mold it into a Curse Jade.
Should we release the small fish and the small eyes to drive it down and then kill it? But the small fish and the small eyes probably can't beat it.
Xiao Xia Youjie was in a dilemma for a moment.
"This is a gift. We're all treating you. Didn't you buy us some cake?" Komori Midoriya said, looking at Xiao Xia Youjie. "Don't frown, kid. Come and try it. It's delicious."
"Haha, it feels like Sister Xiaosen is especially gentle to children...it tastes good," Baichuan Mu drank most of it in one gulp.
She also wanted to ask Xiao Xia Youjie to try it, but when she saw Xiao Xia Youjie's slightly frowned brows, she was stunned for a moment, understood his expression, and followed Xiao Xia Youjie's gaze, which fell on Komori Midorara's shoulder.
Baichuanmu chuckled: "Sister Xiaosen, there is a little dust on your shoulder. This child seems to care about this...Xiaojie, do you want to help Aunt Xiaosen brush off the dust?"
Having already cooperated at the dentist's office, Xiao Xia Youjie responded quickly: "Is it okay, Aunt Komori?"
"Okay, then I'll thank Xiaojie, Auntie." Komori Midorara squatted down and asked Xiaoxia Youjie to "pat the dust off" for her. Strangely enough, after patting it a few times, she felt that the pain in her shoulder, which was sore from accidentally bumping into the shelf, was gone.
"Okay, it's clean." Xiao Xia Youjie said with a smile.
Komori Midoriya stood up in a daze, and met Xiaoxia Yujie's innocent smile. He felt that he might have been healed by this angelic child: "Yes, I feel much better... Thank you."
Xiaoxia Youjie's smile became even sweeter, Baichuanmu winked at him and made a shushing gesture. After Xiaosen Midoriya left, he looked at Baichuanmu and waved the Curse Spirit Jade in his hand to her. Although he knew that his mother couldn't see it, he still wanted to show it to her because his mother had always "seen" it.
"Oh my, it looks like Xiaojie is about to tame another cursed spirit," Baichuanmu held up his chin and looked sideways at Xiaoxia Youjie next to him, "and you helped my friend. I'm proud of you."
"Yeah!" Xiao Xia Youjie nodded vigorously, feeling happy and proud.
See, his mother can “see” it!
