"I tried, but still..."
Although Xu Yingxi didn't mind telling Xu Xingluo on WeChat that she and Song Siyao had kissed, being seen in person was another matter.
She lacks experience as a mother and doesn't know how other parents handle things.
But at least for Xu Yingxi now, she is not mentally prepared for her son to see her intimate actions.
Thinking that Xu Xingluo was in the kitchen just across the wall and could see what was happening in the living room at any time, Xu Yingxi's heart rate skyrocketed.
After being stunned for half a second, she reflexively reached out and pushed him.
This push used up all her strength, and she only heard Song Siyao groan in pain, as if he had hit the corner of the table behind him.
Xu Yingxi was also shocked by her own explosive power and apologized subconsciously: "Yes——"
As soon as she uttered the first word, she stopped abruptly.
No, she said sorry!
Xu Yingxi lowered her voice and glared at him: "Song Siyao, what are you doing!"
Song Siyao: "Sorry."
The man's voice was low and gentle, and he sounded very decent.
Xu Yingxi: “…”
She glanced at the kitchen door but didn't see the boy.
Xu Yingxi looked again at the table that Song Siyao had bumped into.
The table top has rounded corners, but judging from the muffled sound just now, maybe... it still hurts quite a bit when you bump into it?
Xu Yingxi's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Are you okay?"
She was definitely not concerned about the instigator, but was concerned about humanitarianism.
"It's okay." Song Siyao said, "I just didn't expect my girlfriend to be so strong."
Xu Yingxi's breathing stagnated.
Has this person never been in love? Why does he keep talking about "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" every day?
Oh, it seems he really hasn't talked about it.
Xu Yingxi coughed: "Who told you to scare me so suddenly..."
"Oh, right," she whispered, "I forgot to tell you before. From now on, when Xu Xingluo is around, you are not allowed to kiss me casually."
After a pause, he added, "Even hugging is not an option."
Song Siyao: “…”
Xu Yingxi: "What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"
I've only been her boyfriend for a few days, so I'm not going to go against her, am I?
There was a hint of indulgence and helplessness in Song Siyao's eyes: "I heard it."
Xu Yingxi nodded with satisfaction at first, then hesitated for a moment.
"Do you want to..." she asked, "or take a look at the place where you were hit just now?"
Meeting the man's deep eyes, Xu Yingxi quickly added, "I mean... go to your room and look at yourself in the mirror."
Song Siyao smiled lightly: "It really doesn't matter."
Xu Yingxi: "Okay."
The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Xu Yingxi inexplicably felt the temperature of her cheeks rising again.
It's really weird, when did she blush so easily?
The heater in his house must be too hot!
Song Siyao broke the silence: "I'll go call Xu Xingluo."
Xu Yingxi said "Oh" dryly: "Then go quickly."
…
In addition to the plate of cookies that was just brought out, there was also a cheesecake in the kitchen.
Xu Xingluo remembered that these two were his future mother's favorite desserts, and she would ask the aunt at home to make them for him from time to time.
He originally thought that it would be difficult to make these, so at first he just wanted to learn to cook a few home-cooked dishes that his mother liked with his father, so that he could cook them for his mother in the future.
But during the Chinese New Year, Xu Xingluo tried making brown sugar rice cakes. After finding that it was not as difficult as he had imagined, he began to think about researching other snacks.
Especially after hearing his mother say that the rice cakes she made were delicious, he became even more excited.
It’s a pity that although the cookies were made successfully this time, there were some unexpected problems with the cake: there was a burnt spot on the surface, the shape was a bit crooked, and there were several cracks in it.
He had clearly been successful when he tried to do it before, but he didn't know what went wrong this time.
Xu Xingluo wanted to make one last attempt to save the cake, but he was worried about the situation outside.
Mom and Dad...shouldn't have had a fight?
Xu Xingluo was filled with regret: If he had known, he would not have forced the issue and made blind suggestions!
It’s all his fault. Mom and Dad are together now, so it’s only a matter of time before they love each other!
Why is he so anxious?
Xu Xingluo was feeling regretful in his heart while trying hard to listen to the movements in the living room.
I wanted to sneak a peek at the door, but I forced myself to hold back.
He said to himself: I must believe in my father. He has already made the mother of this world a regular employee, so making her happy will surely be no problem for him!
Xu Xingluo held his breath and listened for a while, but unfortunately his parents spoke too softly and he couldn't hear anything they said.
The boy felt like ants were crawling in his heart. He tried hard to resist the urge to go out. He was absent-mindedly trying to straighten the crooked cake and cover up the crack.
I accidentally lost control of my strength and made a crack on the surface bigger.
Xu Xingluo: “…”
No way!
Not knowing what was happening with his parents, he had no mind to do anything else!
Xu Xingluo was feeling very anxious when he suddenly heard footsteps.
The boy immediately pricked up his ears again.
Finally, he saw his father appear in front of him.
Xu Xingluo immediately lowered his voice and said, "Dad! How is it?"
Song Siyao's voice was steady: "It's okay, come out."
Xu Xingluo: "Really?"
Song Siyao said calmly: "Yeah."
Seeing his father so calm, Xu Xingluo finally felt relieved: "That's great!"
Immediately, the boy's eyebrows drooped again.
"But this cake... is really ugly, and I ruined it a little bit just now." Xu Xingluo said, "Dad, how about... I shouldn't give this cake to my mom."
It was barely presentable just now, but after his careless "destruction", the cheesecake now looks even worse.
Song Siyao said gently: "It's okay, your mother won't mind."
Xu Xingluo: “But——”
Xu Yingxi's voice came from the living room: "You two, are you chatting about the philosophy of life in the kitchen?"
Xu Xingluo: “…”
After exchanging a glance with his father, he made up his mind: "Let's go!"
It’s just a piece of cake that doesn’t look good!
Anyway, he is already a silly boy in his mother's eyes, so this little bit doesn't matter!
Xu Xingluo walked out of the kitchen carrying the cake.
Seeing him come out, Xu Yingxi said, "I tasted the cookies just now, they tasted very good."
Xu Xingluo's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great!"
He put the cake in his hand on the table a little embarrassedly and said: "This cheesecake... well, I didn't control the heat well, it's a little cracked, it doesn't look very good."
"But it should taste okay!" Xu Xingluo quickly added, "Mom, if you don't mind...try it?"
Xu Yingxi was amused by his appearance.
"Okay," she said. "If it tastes good, I'll eat more. If it doesn't taste good—"
She glanced at Song Siyao and said, "You and your father should each take half."
"How is it?" Xu Yingxi asked, "You two, do you have any objections?"
Song Siyao responded to her first: "No."
Then, the boy next to him grinned and saluted foolishly: "No problem! As you command!"
…
Although the cheesecake made by Xu Xingluo didn’t look very good, it tasted surprisingly good.
However, Xu Yingxi had lunch before going out today, and the food in her stomach had not been fully digested yet. She felt a little full after eating one-third of it.
In the end, the three of them ate up the rest of the cake together.
After eating dessert, Xu Xingluo enthusiastically pulled Xu Yingxi to the study.
The boy was always thinking about the trip that was cancelled because of his unexpected fever. At the beginning of the winter vacation, he started to make plans to restart his trip to the neighboring city.
Xu Xingluo was very enthusiastic about this trip, so Xu Yingxi gave him full authority to arrange the itinerary.
Originally, they planned to go and come back on the same day, but after hearing that his father and mother had successfully confessed their love, Xu Xingluo immediately suggested extending the trip to three days.
Finally, under Xu Xingluo's strong encouragement, Xu Yingxi agreed to this new travel plan.
The departure time was also decided by Xu Xingluo.
Because Xu Yingxi was going to a resort with her family to celebrate the New Year, and Xu Xingluo didn't want his first long trip with his parents to be too rushed, he scheduled the trip for the second week after New Year's Eve.
The trip lasted three days in total, which also happened to include Valentine's Day.
Xu Xingluo felt that he was a genius: he had thought of such a perfect arrangement!
"Mom, look!"
In the study, Xu Xingluo happily showed his handwritten plan to Xu Yingxi.
He originally made the plan on his father's computer, but in order to show it to his mother, he made a handwritten copy with a marker.
The young man talked incessantly to Xu Yingxi about the itinerary he had arranged.
In the days after New Year's Eve, Xu Xingluo, apart from studying how to make cakes and cookies and playing the new game console with his father, devoted all his attention to this plan.
In order to satisfy his mother, he studied countless travel guides, planned countless routes, and even came up with plan A, plan B, and plan C for some attractions.
It was even more serious than when he was reviewing for his final exams.
When he finally showed it to his mother, Xu Xingluo felt similar to how he felt during the final exam: anticipation mixed with a little nervousness.
“And then after watching the seagulls at the pier—we can take the high-speed train home!”
Xu Xingluo finished explaining his plan for the last day and looked at his mother eagerly, "Mom, what do you think?"
Xu Yingxi looked at him.
Xu Xingluo suddenly became nervous.
Xu Yingxi: "Okay, then I'll let you lead the way for the next three days?"
Xu Xingluo's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, "No problem! I've read the route many times, and I can recite it by heart!"
…
After the travel plan was officially finalized, the three of them played the game console that Song Siyao had bought for Xu Xingluo at home for a while.
After dinner, Song Siyao drove Xu Yingxi home.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Xu Yingxi rode in Song Siyao's car after they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Seeing the man opening the car door for her, Xu Yingxi suddenly became nervous for no reason.
Stay calm! It's just the passenger seat, it's not like I've sat there before!
Xu Yingxi told herself this in her heart, took a breath silently, and exhaled slowly, trying to maintain a calm appearance on the surface.
It would be so embarrassing if Song Siyao found out that I was nervous even riding in a car!
Xu Yingxi sat in the passenger seat and the man closed the door for him.
Her eyes followed Song Siyao unconsciously until she saw him open the car door from the driver's seat, and then she suddenly woke up.
Wake up, why am I so inexplicably dazed?
Xu Yingxi quickly looked away, hoping Song Siyao didn't notice her distraction.
She turned her head to find the seat belt and was about to fasten it.
Song Siyao's deep voice came from my ears: "Let me do it."
Before Xu Yingxi could react, the man's unique aura enveloped her.
The back of Xu Yingxi's head was pressed against the headrest of the seat. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she subconsciously closed her eyes.
A low laugh came to my ear.
Xu Yingxi sobered up a bit because of the laughter and opened her eyes angrily: "Song——"
She couldn't pronounce his name in full.
A hot breath came over, and Song Siyao's lips fell behind her ear.
Xu Yingxi's head buzzed and her whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
"I'm sorry." The man's voice was hoarse. "I tried, but still..."
Xu Yingxi couldn't hear the last few words clearly.
Her back was pressed against the passenger seat, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
Song Siyao put his arm around her wrist, and then his lips pressed against hers.
【Author’s words】
Song Siyao's perspective: We can't kiss casually outside, and we can't kiss at home, so we can only...
