After Qin Yanmo went to work, he originally wanted to sleep for a while more. In the end, Xiao Baozi who was still in his pajamas walked into the bedroom.
Shi Xingcan tilted her head to see his red nose from the cold, and immediately said: "Come here!"
Xiao Baozi ran in front of Shi Xingcan with his two short legs, but did not get into her warm blanket.
"Hurry up and be careful of catching a cold."
Xiao Baozi shook his head and said: "Mom, will you be cold?"
Shi Xingcan laughed involuntarily, gently carried him to the bed, and said with a smile: "You're the one that will get cold."
Xiao Baozi didn't say anything, he only placed his head gently on the pillow.
Sensing that something was wrong, Shi Xingcan retracted her smile, her eyes filled with worry.
She had originally wanted to have a good chat with Xiao Baozi last night, but she had completely forgotten about the trouble Qin Yanmo had created.
"Xiao Baozi, let's go and play with Jiang Xiaopang today, okay?"
Xiao Baozi shook his head, his expression still at a loss.
"Does Grandma not like me anymore?"
Shi Xingcan's heart skipped a beat, then she laughed as if nothing had happened: "How could that be? Grandma loves you the most. Daddy gets scolded sometimes, but you haven't. "
"Really?" Xiao Baozi raised his head, his large eyes filled with anticipation.
Shi Xingcan nodded against her own will, and laughed. "Of course it's true."
"Even if Grandmother knows that I'm not my father's biological son?" Xiao Baozi did not know how to reply to his pure and clear eyes.
She could only smile and change the subject, "Have you eaten breakfast? Shall we go down for breakfast? "
Xiao Baozi's attention was not diverted by her, instead, he was acutely aware of her uneasiness, and his tone became even more dejected: "I understand, I will go down for breakfast in a while."
Shi Xingcan was slightly startled by his unsuitable age of loss, and then, thinking back to how he was raised as a lost and sensitive child, her heart ached even more.
She forced herself to get off the bed, put on her jacket, and carried Xiao Baozi to her own room. He said, "Let's go change first, then I'll take you to Jiang Xiaopang's house to play, okay?"
Xiao Baozi only rested his head on her shoulder, his eyes seemingly filled with tears.
Shi Xingcan didn't know how to comfort him. Although her temperament was warmer than Qin Yanmo's, Qin Yanmo had even more ways to coax his children.
"Mom, would you also not want me?"
Shi Xingcan placed him on the bed, took out some clothes from the closet, and gently smiled: "I will never ever abandon you."
Only then did Xiao Baozi nod his head in relief. "If Grandmother and Father don't want us anymore, we'll go and live outside."
Shi Xingcan laughed and rubbed his head before helping him take off her thick pajamas. "Daddy and Grandma wouldn't do that."
Even if Bai Ronghua was the most annoyed of Xiao Baozi, she wouldn't kick a child who hadn't even gone to primary school out of her home for this kind of thing, much less drive the two of them out together.
Xiao Baozi liked Bai Ronghua a lot. During the period when Shi Xingcan lost her memories, Qin Yanmo didn't have the energy to look at him.
So when Bai Ronghua showed a disappointed expression to him for the first time yesterday, he really wanted to cry out loud.
But he did not do so, and still pretended to not know anything as he played around Du Ming's house for an entire afternoon.
Shi Xingcan did not notice the change in her heart. After giving birth to Xiao Jiaozi, she did not really change Xiao Baozi's clothes much anymore. In the summer, his clothes were less loose and they were very simple to change.
"Mommy, it hurts." Xiao Baozi raised his head, his big watery eyes were filled with grievance, "I can't use my hands anymore."
Shi Xingcan forced a smile at him, and looked a little troubled: "It seems that your clothes are a little too small, how does Grandmother usually wear it for you?"
Xiao Baozi twisted his body and did not say anything. Shi Xingcan helped him to take off his clothes, then he jumped off the bed and walked around the wardrobe barefooted. He pointed at a dark green cotton-padded jacket and said: "That one!"
Shi Xingcan took out that set of clothes and was shocked to realize that Xiao Baozi could already wear such a huge set of clothes.
Back when she rescued him from Qu Zhong's house's kitchen, he was still a tiny ball of a person, so much so that he couldn't even speak clearly. He could only hug her thigh and cry.
It's grown so big now.
Shi Xingcan was deeply moved. She was glad that she saved Xiao Baozi back then, or else she would truly regret it for her entire life.
Xiao Baozi didn't know what was going on in her heart, but when he saw that she was standing there for a long time without reacting, he tilted his head and asked: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Shi Xingcan came back to reality and clumsily helped him put on his clothes once again. Xiao Baozi twisted her body and adjusted her sweater, finally putting on his clothes.
Shi Xingcan heaved a sigh of relief, and lamented that taking care of children was really not a simple task. At the same time, she admired that Bai Ronghua could take care of two children at the same time.
Even having a nanny was a very tiring job.
Xiao Baozi held onto Shi Xingcan's hand, looking a little nervous: "Are we going down to eat breakfast?"
Shi Xingcan pinched his soft palms and laughed, "I can't let Grandma have breakfast alone."
Xiao Baozi gave an 'oh' and did not speak again.
Just as Shi Xingcan pushed open the door, he saw Bai Ronghua who was about to knock.
Bai Ronghua did not expect to see Shi Xingcan. She was stunned for a moment and asked: "Didn't you go to work with Yan Mo?"
She rarely stayed in bed today, hence after hearing the sound of Qin Yanmo driving away, she slowly got out of bed and tidied up a bit.
Should I go and change Xiao Baozi's clothes?
If the child woke up and didn't find out, he would definitely cry, right?
However, Bai Ronghua was afraid that her own mentality would collapse if she directly faced Xiao Baozi right now, so she could not help but treat him coldly.
That would hurt the child even more, wouldn't it?
After thinking about it, Bai Ronghua still decided to wake up. It would be bad if Xiao Baozi ran around in his pajamas and caught a cold.
But she didn't expect to see Shi Xingcan the moment she opened the door.
Shi Xingcan coughed lightly, her smile revealing some awkwardness: "I'm not feeling well today, I'm resting at home."
Bai Ronghua was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a red dot on her collar.
How could Bai Ronghua not know what it was after marrying Qin Sheng for such a long time? With a rare mischievous smile, he said, "Since you're not feeling well, then rest well."
Shi Xingcan's face was slightly red, her voice had also become slightly softer, "Un, Mom, you also need to rest for a bit longer."
Bai Ronghua laughed and did not speak. Her gaze moved towards Xiao Baozi who was behind Shi Xingcan.
It just happened to meet his two large eyes that looked like black grapes.
Xiao Baozi subconsciously hid behind Shi Xingcan, his eyes flickering.
Bai Ronghua was startled. Did the child discover something?
She shifted her gaze onto Shi Xingcan.
Shi Xingcan looked at her doubtfully and knew what she wanted to ask. She nodded slightly with a serious expression.
Bai Ronghua was silent for a few seconds, and at the bottom of her heart, she felt an indescribable pain from Xiao Baozi's reaction.
She forced out a smile, bent down and touched Xiao Baozi's head, and asked: "Xiao Baozi, did mother change your clothes today?"
Xiao Baozi stuck his head out slightly, his large pure eyes stared straight at Bai Ronghua as he nodded slightly, and said: "Mn, I went to look for mother this morning."
Shi Xingcan immediately laughed: "That's right, this child came here in the morning while wearing his pajamas. I was even afraid that he would catch a cold."
Bai Ronghua held Xiao Baozi's other hand, and said with a gentle tone: "Next time, you can't do this, you have to take medicine when you have a cold."
Xiao Baozi nodded and did not speak further.
Bai Ronghua bit her lips and followed them downstairs.
After finishing breakfast, Xiao Baozi went out to the backyard by himself to play with the snow.
Bai Ronghua and Shi Xingcan stood under the tree in the middle of the courtyard and watched the distant Xiao Baozi.
"Xingcan, what did that kid say to you this morning?"
Snow fell down from the tree and fell into Shi Xingcan's neck, causing her to shiver from head to toe.
As Bai Ronghua walked further away with her, she asked her her question again.
Shi Xingcan sighed, and repeated what Xiao Baozi had asked him in the morning to him once more. "Mom, if you really can't accept Xiao Baozi, I can move out with him."
Without waiting for Bai Ronghua to say anything, she hurriedly explained, "I will not let Yan Mo come with us. He can stay with you for a period of time, and with me for a period of time."
Bai Ronghua looked at the blinding white snow in front of him, and her voice floated into Shi Xingcan's ears from the cold wind. With boundless sorrow, she asked, "How could Yan Mo possibly want to live together with me?"
Shi Xingcan was slightly stunned, then she immediately realized that she was still regretting what she had said to Qin Yanmo last night.
She immediately explained: "Actually, Yan Mo isn't angry."
"Of course I know that Yan Mo isn't angry." Bai Ronghua said in a bland voice, "Yan Mo is not one who is easily angered."
It's just that what I said last night must have disappointed him, right?
Shi Xingcan pondered for a moment, then said: "He's very sad."
"I know, the person he hates the most in his life is Qin Sheng. If I say he's like Qin Sheng, he'll definitely be sad." Bai Ronghua's tone carried a faint hint of helplessness.
"But I have no choice, even until now, I feel like I can see Qin Sheng's face."
Shi Xingcan gently closed her eyes to relieve the fatigue from looking at snow and seeing it, and said: "They just look a little bit like each other."
Bai Ronghua turned her head, looked straight at Shi Xingcan's peaceful and perfect side profile, and said word by word: "No, their characters are also very similar."
Shi Xingcan smiled, shook her head, and said, "No, Yan Mo is much gentler."
"You've met Qin Sheng?" Bai Ronghua asked.
"Yes." Shi Xingcan nodded, "Yesterday, when I went to take a peek behind Yan Mo's back, he was both very imposing and very … "Cold man."
Although he could laugh and make a fuss, Shi Xingcan could still feel the coldness seeping out from deep within his bones.
Shi Xingcan's words seemed to bring back memories of Bai Ronghua. After a while, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, "That's right, she's an extremely cold man. Why did I fall for him back then?"
Shi Xingcan looked at Bai Ronghua nervously, afraid that she would lose control of her mind on the spot.
Yan Mo had finally reunited with Bai Ronghua with great difficulty, she didn't want any unexpected things to happen again.
However, Bai Rong Hua's heart was much better than what Shi Xingcan had expected, he only looked at his red boots and said: "Let's go in, if we continue looking at it, I'll get snow blind."
Shi Xingcan 'nodded', then called Xiao Baozi to his side and brought him into the villa.
