Chapter 57

Lin Meihui was burning fish soup when the door opened. With a smile on her face, she walked out of the kitchen and said, "Are you back?"

After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw his son, daughter and Huaijing standing beside her.

Lin Meihui's expression changed when she saw Huai Jing, and she glanced at Xu Xingxing with some hesitation in her eyes.

Xu Xingxing put down the things in his hands, met his mother's eyes, and explained with a smile: "He is staying with Xingyuan tonight, and now I brought him here for dinner."

After hearing Xu Xingxing's explanation, Lin Meihui felt relieved. Huaijing called her aunt, and she nodded in response.

The meal was ready immediately, and the four of us gathered around the table in the living room to start eating. Xu Xingxing and Lin Meihui were sitting on the sofa, while Huaijing and Xu Xingyuan were sitting on the plastic stools on the other side of the table.

Huaijing is tall and has long legs. He sits on the stool and bends his legs. His knees are higher than the dining table.

Xu Xingxing looked at him and asked, "Would you like to change it?"

"No, you can just sit here." Huaijing took the rice from her hand, adjusted the distance between the stool and the table, and sat down.

The dinner prepared by Lin Meihui was very rich. Although their family was not very wealthy, they had never been in financial trouble. Four dishes and one soup, neatly placed on a small table, looked very delicious.

Huaijing hadn't had such a lively meal for a long time. The small living room, the narrow dining table, surrounded by four people, was quite warm.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xingxing handed him a bowl of fish soup.

Huaijing took it and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just that after my dad passed away, I haven't eaten like this for a long time."

Hearing Huai Jing's words, both Lin Meihui and Xu Xingyuan's eyes focused on him. Lin Meihui only saw him once, but didn't get to know him in depth. Hearing him say that he hadn't had dinner with his family for a long time, his mother's sympathy was drawn out in his heart.

"What about your mother and siblings?" Lin Meihui asked with concern.

Huaijing pursed her lips and replied, "My mother is a monk, and my sister is studying abroad. The family doesn't see each other several times a year."

Lin Meihui looked at Huai Jing. He looked bright and beautiful on the surface, but he didn't expect to be alone. Although their family is poor, their relatives are still together.

Thinking of this, Lin Meihui looked at Huai Jing and said, "Tell me what you want to eat these few days. If I can make it, I will make it for you."

"Thank you Auntie." Huai Jing smiled gratefully, looked at the food on the table, and said, "I'm not picky eaters, I like these things. No wonder Xingkong's cooking is so delicious, it turned out to be inherited from Auntie's craftsmanship."

After Lin Meihui heard his compliment, her heart changed a bit towards Huaijing. Although this young man looked extravagant, he was unpretentious, courteous, and could talk, much better than that Wang Shunsheng.

Listening to the chat between Lin Meihui and Huai Jing, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and glanced at Huai Jing. The latter hooked the corners of her lips at her, Xu Xingxing retracted his gaze, pursed his lips and smiled.

Today, the ancestors have been busy for a day, and the family is tired. Xu Xingxing asked Xu Xingyuan to rest, and she went into the kitchen with tableware and chopsticks. As soon as he entered, Huai Jing followed.

He was originally tall, and he occupied more than half of the small kitchen in an instant. Xu Xingxing watched him roll up his sleeves, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.

"you……"

"I'll help." Huaijing said, put the tableware into the sink, and turned on the faucet.

Huaijing stood by the sink, turning on the faucet, rinsing a clean white bowl. His skin is very white, and his slender fingers are slightly bent, revealing his joints that have turned white from the force in the water, which is particularly beautiful.

He just washes the dishes, and it makes people so excited.

Thinking of his confession to himself, Xu Xingxing's face became hot. She reached out and took Huaijing's washed dishes and placed them neatly on the table in front of her.

The two worked together in an orderly manner, and the sunlight outside slanted in, making the small kitchen warm.

"I haven't washed the dishes before." Huaijing handed over the last bowl and said this suddenly.

The muscles and bones on the back of his hands bulged out of force, his fingers spread out on the edge of the bowl, grabbed the mouth of the bowl, and placed it on the dishes placed in front of Xu Xingkong.

His body leaned forward almost against her because of the bowl, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and looked at his handsome face in the sun, his face turned slightly red. Just when she thought that Huai Jing was going to say something, Huai Jing's brows and eyes softened, her wet index finger stretched out, she tapped the freshly washed dishes next to her, and said, "You have to praise me."

Xu Xingxing: "..."

Xu Xingxing and Huaijing were washing dishes in the room. Although Lin Meihui and Xu Xingyuan were sitting in the living room, their eyes kept drifting towards the kitchen.

Seeing the tall Huaijing bowing her head to wash the dishes seriously in the kitchen, Lin Meihui told Xu Xingyuan, "I'm a guest, so don't be rude when I go to your house tonight."

Xu Xingyuan looked at Huaijing and Xu Xingxing in the kitchen, took a look at the phone, and said, "Got it."

After washing the dishes, Huaijing and Xu Xingyuan were going to Xu Xingyuan's house. Xu Xingxing was a little worried, and drove the car with him.

As the wedding date approached, Xu Xingyuan had been living in the marriage room. He lived in the master bedroom, and Huaijing lived in the second bedroom next to him. Xu Xingxing also lived here before.

The sun was shining brightly today. In the morning, Xu Xingxing took out the quilt from the second bedroom and dried it on the balcony. This quilt was used when she slept here before, and it was just right for Huaijing tonight.

As soon as Xu Xingyuan entered the house, he answered Zhou Tongtong's call and went back to his bedroom to make a call.

No one followed, Huaijing followed Xu Xingxing to the second bedroom.

Xu Xingxing went to the balcony one step ahead of him. The lanyard on the balcony was a little high. She stood under the setting sun, raised her head and stretched out her hand and was pulled down by the horn.

At the end of March, the sunset is also warm.

Xu Xingxing's face was covered with a layer of soft light from the setting sun, and he looked particularly beautiful.

Huaijing's heart moved, and she got up and walked to the balcony.

When Xu Xingxing saw him coming, her face became a little red from pulling the quilt. She looked at the corner that was folded because she just pulled it, and after pulling it twice, she didn't move. She looked at the man and said, "Help me."

Huaijing understood, walked to her side, and reached out just to touch the lanyard. He undid the folded quilt, and Xu Xingxing pulled a lot when he pulled down.

When she was about to pull the quilt down, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed the quilt hanging from the lanyard.

Xu Xingxing did not move, her eyes moved, her face flushed white in the sun, and in her doubts, Huai Jing chuckled lightly, squeezed her chin with the other hand, and kissed her.

As soon as the soft lips touched, Xu Xingxing's heart seemed to stop beating. Under the warm sunset, the kiss was also warm, with a taste of sunshine.

This kiss does not involve intense desire, only gentle lingering, Xu Xingxing looked at the man's eyebrows and almost drowned in the deep affection between his eyes.

"Sister?" Xu Xingyuan stood at the door of the second bedroom, glanced at the balcony and called. There was only a quilt that was about to be pulled down on the balcony, and no one was there.

"Where did you go?" Xu Xingyuan asked in confusion and went to another bedroom.

Xu Xingxing clutched the quilt tightly, blushing to the base of her neck, Huaijing looked at her scared and shy, reached out and rubbed her hair, pulled the quilt off and hugged her, holding her hand into the room.

While Xu Xingxing and Huaijing were working together to make the bed, Xu Xingyuan looked around and came back. Seeing the two of them making the bed, he asked, "Where have you been?"

"It's here." Xu Xingxing said in a tight voice.

"Hey?" Xu Xingyuan touched the back of his head suspiciously, glanced at Huaijing with a magnanimous expression, and left.

After helping Huaijing make the bed, Xu Xingxing left. There were only two men left in the huge room.

After Xu Xingxing left, Xu Xingyuan went back to his bedroom, not knowing what to do. At seven o'clock in the evening, he opened the bedroom door and came out, and saw Huaijing sitting in the living room.

Huai Jing sat on the sofa, leaning against the sofa cushions behind him, and the blue-white chandelier in the living room illuminated his complexion even more. He raised his head slightly, and under his long curly eyelashes, his light brown eyes were staring at the TV screen on the wall opposite the sofa.

There is a sense of nobility and laziness about him, and the profile of his profile is deep and delicate, like a sculptor who has carefully carved out one knife at a time.

His temperament is above the style of the living room, and the original rustic decoration style really brings out the extravagance of the medieval European royal family.

Xu Xingyuan has never seen such a good-looking man in real life. He is like a man who lives in the clouds and is out of tune with their family.

But when he and Xu Xingxing stood together, the coldness in his eyes was like a cloud being blown away by the breeze, coated with a layer of tenderness. These two are very compatible.

Seeing Xu Xingyuan standing at the door, Huai Jing raised her eyes and glanced at him, the corners of her lips twitched, and said, "Let's talk?"

Xu Xingyuan pursed his lips, got up and walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took two cans of beer, walked to the sofa and sat down.

A replay of the basketball game was playing on the TV, and the sports host was watching the replay and commenting. In the commentary, Xu Xingyuan opened a can of beer and took two sips.

Xu Xingyuan has an average drinking capacity. After drinking, he is not pretentious. He looks at the TV screen and asks, "When did you and my sister get together?"

With a blink of an eye, Huai Jing turned her head to meet Xu Xingyuan's gaze.

Xu Xingyuan's eyes looked like Xu Xingxing, round, black and bright, if it wasn't for a disability in one eye, he would be a very handsome young man.

Perhaps it was because of the disability of his eyes and the change in his mentality that he looked a little stubborn. But this kind of stubbornness was only shown when he was in front of him. In front of Xu Xingxing, he is an obedient little sheep.

The brother-in-law who listened to his sister like this, Huaijing still liked it.

"We met in July last year. After she went to Xiacheng in September, we were together." Huaijing replied in a deep voice. After speaking, he looked at Xu Xingyuan with a smile and said, "You hate me?"

The man's question is very direct. Xu Xingyuan is also a straight man. When he asked this, Xu Xingyuan nodded and said, "I don't like it."

"Why?" Huai Jing wanted to ask a question.

"Because of Wang Shunsheng." Xu Xingyuan took a sip of wine and said, "My sister married Wang Shunsheng and started a business with him. After he became rich, those people in the Xu family who had not been in contact for 800 years licked their faces and stuck to my sister. Wang Shunsheng cheated, and the Xu family asked my sister not to divorce him for their own benefit. My sister insisted on divorce, but they were sarcastic. Later, they learned that my sister had a house, a car and money, so they took money from others to introduce her to my sister. Some are over 50 years old, some are bald, some are lazy and lazy... My sister went to Xiacheng to avoid these blind dates."

Xu Xingyuan got a little excited when he said this. He said: "She is finally getting better now, and I don't want her to go the old way again. She lived too hard. She suffered in Xu's family as a child, and later in Wang Shunsheng's family. , I want her to live a happier and simpler life. I am incompetent, but I will take care of my sister for the rest of her life. We are just ordinary people, and we can't climb up to you people. You rich people can look for them after divorce, I After my sister got divorced, her spine was almost smashed."

Xu Xingyuan's eyes were red, one bad eye couldn't even shed tears, and the other eye was full of prayer. He looked at Huaijing and said in a hoarse voice, "I can see that my sister likes you. I said earlier that I didn't want her to go down the old road, but that's just my idea. I have no right to care who she likes, let alone stop her. With you. So, I beg you, I beg you, if you can't marry my sister, will you let her go?"

Huaijing didn't know much about Xu Xingyuan, but judging from the few times he had met with him, the young man was actually a very self-respecting and taciturn person.

He talked to him so much today, and finally begged him that way, which shows how much he cared about Xu Xingxing in his heart.

Xu Xingyuan finally held back the tears, and red bloodshot eyes were suffocated. Huai Jing recalled what he had just said, and the corners of her lips pressed slightly.

"I'm different from Wang Shunsheng." Huaijing looked down at Xu Xingyuan, with a thick layer of fog in his light brown eyes.

He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Xingyuan who was staring at him. Huaijing said, "I'm richer than him."

Because he had to get up early to set up a stall the next day, Xu Xingxing was ready to pack up and go to bed after eight o'clock. She just took the facial cleanser and was about to wash her face when the phone rang. Xu Xingxing took a look at the phone, and it was Huaijing who called.

"Hello?" Xu Xingxing held the phone and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

"I'm downstairs in your house." Huaijing said on the phone.

Xu Xingxing frowned, put on his jacket, and said, "I'll go down immediately."

Thinking that Huaijing and Xu Xingyuan were in conflict, Xu Xingxing hurried downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the corridor, she saw Huaijing standing under a street lamp not far away.

Said to be a street light, but in fact, a wire was connected to the community, and a 65-watt light bulb was twisted and hung there.

Huaijing stood under the lamp, wearing a white hooded sweater and black sports trousers, and an army green jacket on the outside.

After he came to Huai City, he really relaxed a lot, and his style of clothing was more casual sports. Although he is thirty years old, he still has a youthful feeling.

"You...why are you here?" Xu Xingxing walked over to Huaijing and smelled a faint smell of alcohol and wheat on him.

After he drinks, his face will become more and more white, and under the orange light, he can't hide his whiteness.

Seeing her coming, Huai Jing's eyes drooped, and under her long curly eyelashes, her eyes were as deep as cold pools. He seemed to be thinking about something just now. After seeing her, the deepness in his eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared.

"I got your brother drunk and came over to date you."

Xu Xingxing: "..."

Xu Xingyuan's alcohol intake is not good, and when he gets drunk, he gets excited easily.

Xu Xingxing felt nervous and said anxiously, "Then he..."

Seeing Xu Xingxing's nervous expression, Huaijing's brows softened, and she put her hand on the top of her head, rubbed it a bit, and comforted: "I came here after I settled him down."

After listening to his words, Xu Xingxing was relieved, looked at Huai Jing and said, "What about you? Are you uncomfortable?"

"I didn't drink much." Huaijing took a sip, and the rest was only listening to what Xu Xingyuan said. Except for wanting to see Xu Xingxing, he had no other thoughts.

Xu Xingxing looked at Huaijing and felt that his mood was a little off, and asked, "What did Xingyuan tell you?"

"Say you were bullied by Xu's family when you were a child." Huaijing said, "The xun that your father gave you was smashed by your cousin."

Mentioning this, Xu Xingxing's eyes moved, she smiled relievedly, and said, "This is what happened many years ago. And..."

His face flushed slightly, Xu Xingxing said: "Didn't you give me another one?"

She just had her hair tied up because of washing her face, revealing her whole pretty face. When she laughed, the corners of her eyes were curved, and the dark eyes were full of starlight, and she seemed to look down on these memories and forget them.

Huaijing opened his hand, and Xu Xingxing hugged him. She buried herself in the man's chest, listening to the heartbeat in his chest and said, "Xingyuan has a bad temper, but he is kind. If he doesn't speak well or looks bad, don't be angry, he has no ill intentions."

"Yeah." Huai Jing replied lightly.

However, as a sister, Xu Xingxing was too good for Xu Xingyuan. Xu Xingyuan's house, car, and even the cost of marriage were all paid for by her.

These are all what Xu Xingyuan told him ramble behind.

It seemed that he understood the thoughts in his heart, and seemed to make him bear a little more for Xingyuan, Xu Xingxing buried in the man's arms and said.

"His eyes were used to protect me from being blown up as a child."

Afraid that Lin Meihui would be worried, Xu Xingxing and Huaijing chatted for a while, and gave Huaijing a taxi to let him go back to Xu Xingyuan's house.

As soon as she got up the next day, Huaijing called her and said that she had something to do, and went to find her at noon. Even if Huaijing was in Huaicheng, she couldn't be completely idle.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xingxing cleaned up and went to the breakfast stall with Lin Meihui.

It's only five o'clock in the morning, and the aunt who helped in the store has already opened the door and is preparing materials.

Lin Meihui's wrist is much better now, but Xu Xingxing still doesn't agree with her coming too early every day, and would rather spend more money to invite someone who gets up early to open the door. In fact, she didn't want her to continue to open this breakfast stall at first, but Lin Meihui was so used to being busy that she couldn't take it easy. Moreover, many of these customers are old customers. They usually come to eat and chat with her, which is much better than the aunts in their community who can poke people's spines.

At six o'clock, the xiao long bao was also steamed and the wontons were wrapped, and the first batch of customers began to leave the stall one after another.

At six o'clock, the sun has not yet come out of the mountains, and it is very comfortable to look at the misty sky. Early in the morning, the air was cool and cool, as if it had been washed with water.

"Here are two cages of meat." An uncle with a radio shouted. This is to get up early and go to a small square not far away for morning exercises.

"Come on." Xu Xingxing responded and walked over with two cages of xiaolongbao.

When putting down the xiao long bao, Xu Xingxing warned, "It's a little hot."

As soon as he finished speaking, a broadcast came out on the radio of the uncle.

"Now there is a latest news. According to the insider, Wang Shunsheng, the general manager of Shunxing Co., Ltd., is not his own daughter. The source said that Wang Shunsheng's wife is his ex-girlfriend, who was pregnant before marrying Wang Shunsheng..."
