sinking in his peril

The water was a bit cold, Bai Xiyao wiped it clean, changed her clothes, and went back to the living room. The house seemed deserted because there was no one there, especially when her mother was not at home. Xi Yao was really not used to it, so she went to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk in the microwave , carried it back to the living room, turned on the TV, and let some sound in the room.Nested on the sofa, drank the milk, after more than ten minutes, I don't know if it was because of the milk or the lavender, or just tired, Bai Xiyao felt so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she forced herself to get up, and went back to her room, As soon as I put my head on the pillow, I fell asleep immediately.

I don't know how long she slept before Bai Xiyao opened her eyes in confusion, and suddenly saw a face in front of her, looking at her quietly under the dim light, she was so frightened that she immediately sat up from the bed and blurted out With a sound, the voice was a little distorted to her own ears.

Then I heard Taozi say in a complaining voice: "Oh!——Bai Xiyao, what are you doing?! You're pretending to be dead! I'm kind enough to see if you woke up, and I bought you some fresh apples. You But when I came up, I hit my head, why is your head so hard, is it made of stone?!"

Bai Xiyao covered her head and realized that her elder brother Taozi was in front of her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her heartbeat still beating violently, "You have a hard head! Brother, don't you just show up so silently, okay? I just woke up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a face under this kind of light. It’s no wonder I’m not afraid, especially what happened in your unit today. If I’m not afraid, it’s not normal for me to react. When will you come back? Did you go to see your mother?"

"Not long after I came back, I just went to see my mother with Ouyang Qing. That boy Ouyang Qing was more favored than me in front of my mother. After we went, my mother only talked to him and didn't have time to pay attention to me at all. I see, what if Ouyang Qing has become mother's son-in-law, mother must be very biased." Tao Zi rubbed Bai Xiyao's head and said with a smile, "Okay, it's not that serious, you hit my chin with your head, Even if you are a woman, your head is still harder than your chin. Are you awake? If you wake up, get up and eat an apple."

"Have the eldest sister and the second sister come back?" Bai Xiyao got up from the bed, and went back to the living room with Tao Zi. The light was on in the living room, and it was already night.

"No, they might eat outside. It seems that the eldest sister's boss invites the eldest sister and the second sister to dinner. Hehe, that Du Hui must be very lively when he meets Xu Zhizhi." Taozi said cheerfully, "There are only two of us left at home. Now, Dad won't come back at night, and he will stay with Mom in the hospital, shall we go out to eat, or simply eat at home?"

"Let's stay at home." Bai Xiyao sat on the sofa. Taozi had already washed the apples, peeled them, and cut them into several slices. The taste is good. This season is not the season for apples to ripen. Where can peaches buy such delicious apples? "Has the rain stopped outside? This apple is delicious, where did you buy it?"

"Hee hee, I didn't buy it, it was a gift from the owner of Yinxiang Restaurant." Taozi said proudly, "I deliberately took a detour to visit Yinxiang Restaurant this afternoon. I thought to myself, if I can meet him, I can say a few words, but if I can’t, it’s fine. By coincidence, I happened to meet him getting off the car outside the hotel, so I said a few words casually, and then he gave me an apple. , Let me bring it back for you to eat, saying that apples are a good fruit, and eating them can make people more energetic."

"Really?" Bai Xiyao said casually while eating an apple, "Why are you fooling people? Did you tell them what happened at the old site?"

"No." Taozi said with a grin, "Only people with your physique will have those situations inside. There are three women who went in together, you, Ouyang Bei and your colleague, and you are the only one who has unexpected situations. I don't want to tell Sima, but he took the initiative to ask about you. He probably thought that we were together every day. I said you were not feeling well, so I went home first. He asked, "Really? What's the matter?" I said Said, my sister is not in good health, if there is a slight disturbance, she will definitely catch a cold, it doesn't matter, just take a rest. She said, 'In this way, I will ask the hotel staff to give your sister some apples. Apples can make her feel better. 'I brought it back as soon as I heard it, as long as you like it, it's not in vain for me to accept it."

Bai Xiyao smiled, "Don't say it's so great, it tastes really good, you should try it too."

"Okay." Taozi picked up a clean and unpeeled apple and wanted to eat it directly, "Don't say it, it tastes really good, refreshing, with a moderate sweetness and sourness. tasty."

"Brother, do you know someone named Xiaoyun?" Bai Xiyao asked casually.

"Xiaoyun?" Taozi frowned slightly, then smiled suddenly, and said, "Did Mom tell you? Xiaoyun is Dad's first love. Back then, he and Dad loved each other to death, but it seems that it was because of some unknown reason. Dad broke up with her. One year later, Dad met Mom. Then we were born. However, I heard that Xiaoyun died unexpectedly in the year you and I were born. Is Mom still concerned about this matter? Still worrying about it?"

Bai Xiyao immediately shook her head, but she didn't say the phone call she heard after returning home today, "It's okay, I didn't hear what my mother said, right, how did you know?"

"I secretly read Dad's diary, hehe, there are stories about the two of them. It's really romantic, and almost all of them are sour words, although I am a bystander. I feel very sad when I read it." Tao Zi laughed He said, "Don't look at Dad who is not very talkative and romantic, but if you read Dad's words, hehe, he is definitely an infatuated person."

Bai Xiyao swallowed the apple, sighed, and said, "Brother, this is not fun."

"It's all in the past. I guess Mom just thought about it for a while, and she was a little unhappy." Taozi said indifferently, "Who has never liked his wife or someone other than her husband, such as you, if you marry now Ouyang Qing, can you guarantee that you will only love Ouyang Qing in this life?"

Bai Xiyao sighed, and said: "You guys really like to worry. Did I ever say that I want to marry Ouyang Qing? You are the ones who hurt people. I never said that I like him and want to marry him. You guys But I have been creating this possibility. After all, I thought it was the only choice. Can't you be distracted and think about yourself?"

Tao Zi laughed, "I'm not interested in marriage, don't worry, my second sister and I are definitely celibates of the Bai family."

Bai Xiyao ignored the peaches and ate a few pieces of apples, which really made her feel better.
