With the Wanzhou matter settled, life returned to its original course.
Qin Bai shuttles between the company and home every day, a peaceful and cozy life.
He cherishes these days when he can see his mother as soon as he gets home.
The mother and son continued their usual bickering. When Cheng Jing couldn't win an argument with Qin Bai, she would usually stop.
She believed that language could not express her meaning, so...
Force is more effective.
That evening after dinner, Qin Bai was kicked out of the house again.
"This guy is no good. He resorts to violence when he can't win an argument; he's too violent..."
He muttered to himself as he walked downstairs.
It was getting dark, and the neighborhood was filled with neighbors taking a stroll.
Qin Bai greeted the elderly men and women skillfully, and listened to their words of praise, which put him in a good mood.
This might be the reason why young people go out to exercise at night.
After leaving the residential area, I unintentionally spotted the figure at the flower shop by the roadside.
Despite his interactions with Ling Xiangxue over the past few days, Qin Bai still hadn't obtained any useful information.
He even felt that he had some kind of persecution complex.
God simply placed a woman in his life by sheer coincidence; he had over-interpreted the information.
Splash!
The roller shutter door got stuck halfway down.
Ling Xiangxue looked down for a long time but couldn't find the reason.
However, she still couldn't bear to pull it down forcefully, treating everything around her with the same gentleness as always.
Unfortunately, the roller shutter door had no feelings and continued to resist her, refusing to close the last gap no matter what she said.
"Move to the side."
The sudden sound behind her startled Ling Xiangxue.
After turning around and seeing that it was Qin Bai, he patted his chest in relief.
"You're so stupid."
After making a complaint, Qin Bai pressed down on the roller shutter door with both hands and pulled it down forcefully.
Whoosh!
Perfectly fitted.
Ling Xiangxue looked at the roller shutter with a pang of heartache; it would cost a lot of money to fix it if it broke.
However, she still bit her lip and said, "Thank you."
Qin Bai clapped his hands: "Don't worry, this thing is very sturdy, not as fragile as you think."
Hearing his words, Ling Xiangxue instantly felt relieved.
Someone so capable must be right.
Are you getting ready to go home?
Ling Xiangxue smiled and nodded: "Yes, the two little ones at home have already prepared dinner."
How do we get back?
"The bus is very convenient; it takes less than an hour to get home."
"Ha! You seem to have no sense of time. The houses around here aren't too expensive, so why don't you rent one for more convenience?"
Ling Xiangxue was already used to Qin Bai's way of speaking, and a gentle look appeared on her face, as if she had been cared for.
"No, I'd rather not. The house there is closer to Mingyuan and Wensi's school, and I'm not comfortable leaving them alone at home."
"Oh, let me see you off."
Ling Xiangxue quickly shook her head: "There's no need for that trouble. Driving so late..."
Qin Bai stopped and turned around, saying, "Who said I was going to drive you? Don't you need gas?"
"Huh?" Ling Xiangxue was taken aback. "So what do you mean?"
"I'll take you to the bus stop. You ate too much tonight, so you'll just be wandering around."
The soft light from the streetlights illuminated Ling Xiangxue's face, revealing a blush.
She bit her lip, too embarrassed to speak.
Does this man really have no communication skills at all? His words are so blunt and embarrassing.
Qin Bai walked forward with his hands in his pockets, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips.
After walking a few steps, I realized that no one was following me.
Turning to look at the resentment in Ling Xiangxue's eyes, he said, "Let's go, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, here it comes."
The two walked side by side.
Qin Bai glanced at her embarrassed expression and said with a smile, "I drank tonight, so I can't drive."
"I see."
Her expression shifted instantly from resentment to tenderness, and she suddenly felt that Qin Bai was also quite inarticulate.
"Actually, the main reason is that I'm afraid of wasting fuel."
"You..."
Ling Xiangxue stomped her foot in frustration, feeling utterly miserable. This constant switching of emotions was quite torturous.
"Hehe, interesting."
Qin Bai smiled even more broadly.
"Alright, alright, hurry up, or we'll miss the last bus."
The night sky is dotted with stars, and a bright moon hangs in the distance, like a mooncake with a bite taken out of it.
The two walked side by side again, their shadows gradually overlapping as they moved forward slowly.
Every time they passed a bright street lamp, Ling Xiangxue would subconsciously stand behind Qin Bai.
She really liked the feeling of having her light blocked.
Especially people you know well.
"What are you hiding from?" Qin Bai asked, puzzled.
"No."
Ling Xiangxue remained standing behind him, watching his back.
It feels very similar to the original feeling, and I feel very safe.
But things have changed. He's even better than before, much more handsome, and his hair has grown much longer than before.
He might be even more handsome if he were a little longer.
Recently, she has been watching TV series in her spare time.
I always feel that Qin Bai is very similar to Wang Ye, the Taoist priest from Under the Strange Man.
They resemble each other in appearance and personality.
Unrestrained and free-spirited.
He changed into a Taoist robe, and if he could tie his hair up, he might look even more like a Taoist.
Ling Xiangxue had already created a role for him in her mind.
The wind whistled past, causing Qin Bai to slow his pace.
