Chapter 47

After taking the Rubik's Cube, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and looked at Huaijing with a smile.

The woman's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled, and her dark eyes glowed with happiness.

Looking down at her, the smile in Huai Jing's eyebrows deepened, and she asked in a deep voice, "Are you happy?"

The Rubik's Cube in his hand still had the temperature of a man's palm, Xu Xingxing shook the Rubik's Cube in his palm and responded softly.

"Um."

"Would you like to be happier?" Huaijing raised her eyebrows slightly, looking down at Xu Xingxing and asked.

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing was dumbfounded by his question. He didn't know what he wanted to do, but no one could refuse to be happy. Her eyes moved, she raised her eyes and smiled suspiciously, and said, "Think, how can you..."

Before she could finish her question, the man leaned over slightly and put his hands on her waist. Xu Xingxing was surprised, when the man's arm exerted force, Xu Xingxing lifted his feet off the ground and was directly picked up by the man from the piano bench.

She didn't expect to be held like this, as if she was weightless, she panicked, her calf swayed slightly, her hands held his shoulders nervously, and she looked at the man in a panic.

The man smiled, supported her hips with one hand, lifted her legs with the other, and climbed onto his waist. Xu Xingxing hooked his legs around his waist, and was supported by the man on his buttocks, somehow stabilizing his body.

Huaijing is too tall, so holding her like this makes Xu Xingxing a bit taller than him. She put her hands on Huaijing's shoulders and glanced behind him, the sudden vacation made her a little dizzy. Xu Xingxing wrapped his arms around the man's neck and leaned on his shoulders obediently.

"Afraid?" The woman lay on his shoulders, Huaijing turned her head, her cheeks rubbed against her slightly hot cheeks.

When the man spoke, his lips were on her neck, and the warm breath touched her skin like wandering tentacles, making Xu Xingxing a little soft.

"I'm not afraid anymore." Xu Xingxing shrank his neck slightly as if he was ticklish.

At first, she was afraid of falling, but the strength of the man made her feel at ease. Xu Xingxing even liked the feeling of being held in the air. Different from the princess hug, this hug has a more intimate pampering.

Xu Xingxing has never been held like this, but she has seen a father hold a child like this. When she was a child, she looked envious, but her father was too busy, and she was a girl, her father still paid attention to this aspect.

There was a sweet excitement in his heart, and Xu Xingxing was indeed happier than before.

Hearing that she was not afraid, Huai Jing hummed softly, turned around with Xu Xingxing in her arms, and left the piano.

Looking at the stairs that were left behind, Xu Xingxing slightly tilted his head. When he went to pick her up yesterday, he didn't have time to eat, but today.

"Have you had dinner?" Xu Xingxing asked.

"No." Lifting his legs to the last step, the man stretched out his hand to open the bedroom door and said solemnly, "Isn't this just about to eat?"

Xu Xingxing, who was struggling to come down and cook dinner for him, moved. Her heartbeat slowly accelerated, looking at the closed bedroom door, the hands that hugged the man gradually tightened.

Getting happier with him.

Early on Saturday morning, Chen Wanwan sent Kangkang to Xu Xingxing's house. Xu Xingxing went downstairs to pick up Kangkang, and Chen Wanwan said with dark circles under her eyes, "Have fun, I'm so pissed, my mother is going to work overtime again."

Xu Xingxing hugged Kangkang and waved goodbye to Chen Wanwan with him. Kangkang was especially happy, hugged Xu Xingxing and said with a smile, "Mom make good money."

Chen Wanwan watched her own son and Xu Xingxing fall in love and bid her farewell. She rolled her eyes and said, "Let's live together."

After speaking, Chen Wanwan stepped on the accelerator and walked away.

Xu Xingxing and Kangkang laughed.

The weather was fine today. In the cool morning sun, Xu Xingxing returned home with Kangkang in his arms.

"Mimi~" As soon as Kangkang arrived at Xu Xingxing's house, he squatted down and went to play with Mimi.

Xu Xingxing smiled and watched one person and one cat play happily, opened the curtains wide, and the sunlight came in, Xu Xingxing narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What would Kangkang want for breakfast?" Because he brought Chen Wanwan over before going to work, Kangkang hadn't had breakfast yet.

"Toast eggs and milk." Kangkang said sweetly.

"Okay~" Xu Xingxing reached out and squeezed his cheek, and after answering with a smile, got up and went into the kitchen.

As soon as the oil was poured into the pan, Kangkang shouted from outside: "Aunt Xingkong, your phone is ringing~"

There was still hot oil in the pot, Xu Xingxing quickly turned off the fire, clapped his hands and walked out and said, "Come on here."

Thinking that it was Chen Wanwan who was worried, she called again to tell her something. And when Xu Xingxing saw the caller ID number, her eyes moved, and she answered the phone while looking at the scorching sun outside the window.

On the other side of the phone, there was a crisp sound of flipping documents. Xu Xingxing heard it, his brows softened, and he responded lightly.

"Hey."

"Going to sketch today?" Hearing her voice, the man asked in a deep voice, with a smile in his words.

"Well." Xu Xingxing looked up at Mimi and Kangkang, and said with a smile, "Kangkang has come."

Hearing the anticipation and happiness in her voice, the man smiled softly and asked, "What time will you be back? I'll pick you up."

Xu Xingxing opened his lips slightly, looked down at his shadow on the floor, and asked, "Aren't you busy today?"

Actually very busy.

However, no matter how busy he is, he has to see her again. After the separation last week, the two never saw each other again. God knows how much he misses her.

"I'm busy until six o'clock." Huai Jing said, "I'll wait for you in the parking lot of Jia Ting Plaza."

The originally bright mood seemed to be covered with a layer of soft cotton candy, and the sweetness made Xu Xingxing slightly raise the corner of her lips, and she nodded in response.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xingxing went into the kitchen and started frying eggs. After a while, Kangkang walked to the kitchen door, looked at Xu Xingxing, and asked in a milky voice, "Aunt Xingxing, who just called you?"

Putting the egg into the pot, the oil sizzled and the egg white gradually solidified, Xu Xingxing turned to look at Kangkang and said with a smile, "A friend."

"A good friend?" Kangkang asked.

Xu Xingxing looked at him, his smile deepened, and he said, "Yes, good friend."

Looking at Xu Xingxing with his head tilted, Kangkang asked earnestly, "How is this good friend treating you?"

Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, turned the egg over lightly, nodded, and replied softly.

"Um."

Hearing this answer, Kangkang blinked with big eyes, and the little adult heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then I can rest assured!"

Xu Xingxing's eyes moved, looking at Kangkang who was standing there waiting for a loving breakfast, his heart became warm.

I really envy Chen Wanwan every day.

When Xu Xingxing took Kang Kang to the studio, Bai Zhu was cleaning up the easel. He wore a red, blue and white plaid flannel shirt with a white sweater underneath. He is also quite white, and the white sweater suits his complexion very well, adding an artist's melancholy under the sun.

He leaned over to hold the easel, and raised his eyes to see Xu Xingxing, under the thick eyelashes, the man's black eyes flashed a smile.

"So early."

"I want to come over and see if I can help." The sketch meeting was at ten o'clock, and she came at nine o'clock really early. But since she is a parent's assistant, she should have come to help earlier.

Bai Zhu smiled lightly under the sun and said, "Then go and clean up the children's easel."

"Okay." Xu Xingxing readily agreed, and after letting go of Kangkang, he led him to the classroom.

In order to take care of the height of the children, their easels are all mini easels, very Q. Thinking of the children standing in front of the easel and drawing seriously, Xu Xingxing was attracted.

After tidying up his easel, Bai Zhu also entered the classroom. Xu Xingxing stood by the window and was putting away the easel under the command of Kangkang.

The children's easel can be folded and put into the bag, as if there are many mechanisms, she is not very skilled in organizing it for the first time. But even if she didn't get it right several times, she still had a smile on her face, without the slightest impatience.

Bai Zhu's eyelashes trembled lightly. After looking at it for a while, he got up and walked in, taking the easel that was still in her hand.

Under the sun, Bai Zhu's fingers are slender and glowing white. He buttoned the button deftly with his fingers, looked up at Xu Xingxing and said, "That's it."

With Bai Zhu's personal demonstration, Xu Xingxing figured it out. She looked up at Bai Zhu, her eyes filled with surprise when she received new knowledge.

"I will," she said.

When the easel was packed, the parents also sent their children over one after another. After gathering at ten o'clock, everyone set off towards the place where they were sketching.

Bai Zhu drives his own car, a Mercedes-Benz business, just enough to hold six children. Xu Xingxing watched everyone take their seats, and Kangkang was chatting happily with the little girl next to her. When she was helpless, Bai Zhu in the driver's seat patted the back of the passenger's seat next to her.

"Sit here." Bai Zhu said.

"Okay." After accepting the invitation, Xu Xingxing smiled and walked to the co-pilot's door. After Bai Zhu opened the door for her, Xu Xingxing thanked her and got into the car.

"Is it far?" Xu Xingxing asked after he fastened his seat belt after he sat down.

Seeing her fasten her seat belt, Bai Zhu started the car and replied, "In the outskirts."

"Aren't the kids sleepy?" Xu Xingxing looked back at the kid who was playing and asked worriedly. Although he looks lively now, he will sleep when he drives.

Looking up at her, Bai Zhu plugged the phone into the data cable connected to the car. He tapped his finger on the screen a few times, and when Xu Xingxing was puzzled, music came from the car's stereo.

"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast..."

As soon as the music in the car rang, the children in the back row immediately became excited and sang along with great joy.

Xu Xingxing looked at the excited children, then at Bai Zhu who was driving, and finally smiled at him.

He really has a way.

The location of the sketch was in the outskirts of Xiacheng. If he hadn't come here this time, Xu Xingxing would not have known that Xiacheng still had such a beautiful place.

This is between two rows of high mountains, with a stream and a field in the middle. The row of mountains near the field is slightly shorter, and there is a small village at the foot of the mountain.

The buildings of the small villages are made of bluestone, which is simple and natural. Not only the house, but even the road is paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and the children are babbling on it, which is very interesting.

Bai Zhu seems to come here often. On the bluestone road, he occasionally encounters a few villagers. When the villagers saw Bai Zhu, they chatted with him enthusiastically.

When he was chatting with the villagers, Bai Zhu was tall and slender, standing in this village, which made him stand out from the world.

After chatting with the villagers, the two led a group of children out of the village and into the green fields.

The field is very flat, with only wild grass and small wildflowers about 30 centimeters high. The light green grass and yellow wildflowers decorate the whole field with freshness and beauty.

In the middle of the field, looking up, you can see the dark green mountains on the opposite side, and the crystal clear stream.

Standing among the green grass and wildflowers, Xu Xingxing and Bai Zhu set out to help the children support the easel. Xu Xingxing's speed was slower. The last one was not ready yet. Bai Zhu stepped over the grass and walked over, leaning over to hold the easel and saying, "I'll come."

"Okay." Xu Xingxing agreed and stood aside.

After Bai Zhu skillfully supported the easel, he handed the pen in his hand to the child, reached out and touched his head, and gave a gentle warning.

"Draw well."

"Okay~" the little guy agreed sweetly.

When the children were in the car, they still sang the little devil of two tigers. But the moment the easel was set up and Bai Zhu handed them the paintbrush, the children all fell silent.

Their small figures were almost hidden in the green grass, and the spring breeze blew through the fields, setting off yellow-green waves, as if hiding them all.

Xu Xingxing looked at them seriously and calmed down.

While she was watching the children draw, she heard the sound of putting up an easel again. Xu Xingxing looked back and saw that Bai Zhu had already set up the easel.

When she met her gaze, the man's hair was blown a little in the wind, which made him feel more free and easy. But his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he was looking at her at this time, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to draw a picture for you?"

Her eyes opened slightly, and Xu Xingkong was a little surprised. After she nodded, she asked with a smile, "Then how should I stand..."

Xu Xingxing was a little shy, didn't know how to stand up, and his face flushed slightly. Looking at her flushed cheeks, the black pencil shaft between Bai Zhu's fingers turned slightly, creating a halo in the sunlight. With knuckled fingers holding the barrel of the pen, Bai Zhu chuckled and said, "That's it."

"Okay." Xu Xingxing stood a little sluggishly.

After she stood up, Bai Zhu started to draw. He stood against the light and stood under the sun, his calf hidden among the green grass. Although he was painting, he was still standing upright, like a tree standing in the grass.

In the field, the breeze was blowing, and the man's plaid shirt was entangled with the breeze. He stood there, his fingers moved slightly, as if he was integrated into the field.

He is more like a painting.

When Xu Xingkong was thinking like this, the man paused with his fingers, raised his eyes and said something to Xu Xingkong.

"All right."

"So fast?" Xu Xingxing was stunned and blurted out a sentence.

Bai Zhu nodded, watched her come over, and said, "The more you draw, the sooner you will be."

Behind every painter's fame are countless sketches, such as Zhuo Nian, who still paints apples in his studio every day.

Thinking that Bai Zhu meant this, Xu Xingxing smiled and said, "Genius doesn't happen overnight."

After she finished speaking, she was already standing in front of the easel and looked up to see herself painted by Bai Zhu. Xu Xingxing saw his own appearance every day, but he never expected to be amazed by himself in Baizhu's painting.

The woman in the painting is standing in a blue-yellow field, her hair brushing across her cheeks with the spring breeze. She is standing under tomorrow, with a tranquil smile and a hint of imperceptible shyness in her round eyes.

The light and shadow of this sketch are excellent, the brushwork is delicate and skillful, and every little detail is well captured. And such an excellent sketch was drawn so quickly.

While Xu Xingxing was looking at the painting, Bai Zhu held a pencil, moved the tip of the pen slightly, and signed his name in the lower right corner. His handwriting seems to be cursive, although it is scribbled, it is tangible. Although it is a few strokes, it is very powerful.

After signing the name, Bai Zhu put the pencil aside, took the painting out of the easel, and handed it to Xu Xingxing who was on the side, saying, "Give it to you."

As soon as her eyes were raised, Xu Xingxing had some disbelief in her eyes, but she hurriedly took it and thanked him with a smile.

"thanks."

Watching Xu Xingxing pick up the painting, she looked down at the painting, and the sun gave her a gentle halo. Bai Zhu licked his lower lip slightly, looked at the painting on her hand and said, "I used to paint for my mother often."

He suddenly started a topic, which made Xu Xingxing recover from the painting, thinking of Yang Wenyu, Xu Xingxing asked.

"Teacher, how are you now?"

"Well. It's good." After Bai Zhu nodded, he looked at Xu Xingkong and added lightly, "But I'm a little lonely at home. Some students said they had time to see her, but they never went."

Xu Xingxing: "..."

Why did she think Bai Zhu was talking about her?

At that time, she and Yang Wenyu said it was not polite to go there when she had time, but she couldn't go too diligently. After all, they were just a teacher-student relationship, and they went so diligently that people thought she had other plans.

"I have time next week." Xu Xingxing said a little embarrassedly, "It will be over by then."

Bai Zhu listened to her words and asked a question.

"Saturday?"

"Ah?" Not expecting to be questioned so quickly, Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then said bitingly, "Well..."

"I had an art exhibition that day." Bai Zhu said.

Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and met Bai Zhu's gaze. The man looked calm, as if to say a very common thing. But when Xu Xingxing heard this, he remembered what Zhuo Nian said.

Her heart tightened, she bit her lip and asked, "Where is the art exhibition? Can I..."

"Want to go?" Bai Zhu looked at her and asked.

"Well." Xu Xingxing nodded sincerely, and said a little embarrassedly: "I also want to do my best..."

"Come to my house on Saturday morning." Bai Zhu looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "Let's go there together."

After the sketch was over, Bai Zhu took the children back to the studio. In the studio, in addition to Zhuo Nian, the children's parents also came, and Chen Wanwan who finished overtime was also among them.

"Then senior, let's go first." Chen Wanwan and Bai Zhu said hello after hugging Kangkang and kissing them twice.

"Okay." Bai Zhu replied lightly, and nodded with Xu Xingxing.

Xu Xingxing remembered his invitation and smiled.

"I'll take you back." Holding Kangkang, Chen Wanwan said to Xu Xingxing.

Thinking of the phone call with Huaijing in the morning, Xu Xingxing gave an "ah" and pushed open the door to let Chen Wanwan go out of the apartment first. She glanced at Huangfu Yiduo and Ajin not far away, and said, "I'll go to my drink. Look, you go first."

Xu Xingxing was busy with business, but Chen Wanwan didn't insist, and said, "Well, goodbye Kangkang and Aunt Xingxing."

"Goodbye, Aunt Xingkong." Kangkang said goodbye with a smile.

"Goodbye." Laughing and watching the two enter the Garden Plaza, Xu Xingxing went to Wuyin after returning to his senses.

After chatting with Du Yizhe and the others for a while, Xu Xingxing received a text message. She looked down at the message, which read a parking spot.

Xu Xingxing's eyebrows moved, and after saying goodbye to Du Yizhe and the others, he got up and entered Jia Ting Plaza.

While waiting for the elevator, Xu Xingxing felt a little anxious. She watched the elevator slowly descend from the third floor, and when she reached the first floor, she got up and walked in.

On the negative second floor, Xu Xingxing got off the elevator and trotted to Huaijing's parking space.

She ran a little in a hurry, and when she reached the parking space and saw the man in the car, her heart beat on her chest, Xu Xingxing calmed down slightly, got up and walked over.

When Xu Xingxing came over, the man raised his eyes and looked over, with a smile on his brows, watching Xu Xingxing open the car door with a piece of paper and sit up.

The woman seemed to be trotting over, her cheeks were a little red after running, her round eyes fluttered slightly, and she looked up at him with a smile in her eyes.

The atmosphere in the car became gentle, and Huai Jing looked down at the piece of paper in her hand and asked.

"What's on hand?"

"Painting." Xu Xingxing said, handing the painting to him.

After Huai Jing took over the painting, he opened it.

This is a sketch, and the person in it is Xu Xingxing. She stood in the field, smiling shyly and peacefully. In the lower right corner of the painting, two words are written in cursive, which is the inscription of the painting.

"Baizhu?" The man's brows and eyes were drooping, and the light brown eyes under the thick eyelashes were somewhat frivolous.

"Do you recognize it?" Xu Xingxing was a little surprised. She looked at the two words that she couldn't read at all and said, "This is Kang Kang's art teacher. This painting was drawn by him when he was sketching today."

Huaijing looked down at Xu Xingxing, frowned slightly, and asked, "Male?"

"Yeah." Xu Xingxing nodded and added, "It's the son of my university teacher."

Not only a man, but also has such a relationship with her?

Thinking that Xu Xingxing went to sketch, or the Rubik's Cube he helped solve, Huaijing was a little bit bloody, his temples jumped twice, looked down at Xu Xingxing, and asked.

"Why didn't you tell me he was a man?"

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then blinked innocently, and said, "You didn't ask. And is it a man or a woman, does it make any difference?"

Huai Jing: "..."

This is a big difference!
