Chapter 308: Take a Vacation and Fall in Love (4)
He hugged her so hard that it hurt, and she was reluctant to break away. She leaned against his chest greedily, breathing in his breath.
For a long time, pedestrians walking around turned their eyes to them from time to time. Such a hug is indeed a sight in a small town like Liangcheng. Xia Xingchen came back to his senses, blushed, and withdrew from his arms.
"Let's go, go find my mother quickly." She coughed uncomfortably and walked forward first. She took a step forward, stepped back, and actively and gently put her hand into his palm.
He looked at her sideways, his eyes deep. His long fingers curled up and held her tightly. He held it tightly, as if he was afraid that if he was gentler, she would slip away from his hand.
In winter, the cold wind blew, but the two people holding each other did not feel cold at all.
……………………
night.
He still stayed in Liangcheng.
During dinner, the four of them sat together to eat. Bai Yeqing would pick up food for Shen Min and Xia Dabai. Every time at this time, Shen Min looked happy.
It was obvious that she was really satisfied with him.
Xia Xingchen looked at this and that, feeling that such a scene was indescribably warm.
It really looks like a family...
It would be great if life could continue like this.
She recalled what Li Ming had said before at an inappropriate time, but just for a moment, she shook that thought out of her mind. What are you thinking about? They are just superstitious words. Now they are sitting here calmly and peacefully. How could such a situation happen?
"What are you thinking about?"
Bai Yeqing suddenly turned his head and asked. He felt the changes on her face with just a glance.
Xia Xingchen came back to his senses and said, "I'm thinking about washing the dishes for a while. You all eat quickly, and I'll boil the water and prepare the dishes."
She said, stood up, and took the empty bowl in her hand into the kitchen. She didn't dare to say that she thought of Chen Ming's words again. She still remembers his angry look that night!
Xia Xingchen was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Bai Yeqing accompanied her in the kitchen.
He actually couldn't get involved. He had never done anything like this in the kitchen. He refused to go out, so he stood in the kitchen, his eyes falling heavily on her.
Xia Xingchen felt extremely uncomfortable when he looked at her. Several times, the plate in her hand almost slipped out due to his stare. There was really nothing she could do, so she asked him, "Mr. President, can you step out and stand for a while?"
"I'm two meters away from you, so it's not in your way."
It's really far away. But, isn’t there such a saying? Some people, even if they do nothing or say nothing, just being in the same space with each other, can mess up her heart. Right now, Xia Xingchen felt like she was being disturbed like this.
"There's a lot of fumes here, aren't you a germophobe?"
"I just like the smell of cooking fumes now. Can't you?"
"..." Xia Xingchen couldn't defeat him. In the end, she had no choice but to let him go. However, at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw Leng Fei's phone number displayed on the screen. He glanced at Xia Xingchen, who waved her hand and motioned for him to get out quickly. He stared at her before finally leaving the kitchen.
……………………
"Sir." The phone was picked up, and Leng Fei's voice came from the other end.
Bai Yeqing said "Yeah" and said nothing more. Leng Fei pondered for a moment and said: "News from the intelligence network has come through again.">
br />
He remained silent.
He didn't even have to hear the answer. You can hear it just from Leng Fei's tone.
If he didn't ask, Leng Fei would naturally not repeat it again. He knew there were answers that the President didn't want to hear over and over again.
When I thought that Mr. President would not speak out again, I only heard him say: "Let them destroy all traces."
Leng Fei was startled, "All destroyed?"
Bai Yeqing didn't seem to want to repeat it, and his heavy breathing showed his impatience at the moment.
Leng Fei knew that he was in a bad mood, but he still had to remind him: "Sir, Mr. Bai must give an explanation. If Miss Xia is really Mr. Bai's daughter, Mr. Bai will be very tall..."
Before the word "xing" of "happy" came out of his mouth, Bai Yeqing had already cut off his words coldly, "I know it in my heart, I don't need you to teach me how to do it!"
"..." Leng Fei had no choice but to cut off the words. Over the years, Mr. President has rarely spoken in such a strong tone.
"Don't leave any traces!" In the end, Bai Yeqing only left this sentence and hung up the phone. For a long time, he stood in the yard without moving. I lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it, just held it in my fingers.
The moonlight tonight is a bit desolate.
From top to bottom, it shrouded him, and he stood alone in the courtyard, looking a bit lonely and depressed.
Xia Xingchen looked out from the kitchen searchingly, only to see the back figure, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Shen Min just came out of the shower and went to the kitchen to boil water. He subconsciously glanced at the figure in the yard and asked his daughter worriedly, "Did you two quarrel?"
"No." Xia Xingchen shook his head.
"I see that Ye Qing is always worried and not in a good mood. Have you asked?"
so……
It turned out to be not my illusion. Everyone can see that there is something obviously wrong with him, right?
"I asked, but he didn't tell me. Maybe this visit to country M didn't go well!"
"But the news is full of joy."
Xia Xingchen sighed and said, "You also know that in politics, we outsiders can't see clearly these details."
Shen Min felt that what she said was reasonable, so she didn't ask any more questions. Pour a cup of hot tea and walk out.
"It's quite cold standing here. Let's have a cup of tea to get rid of the cold." Shen Min handed the hot tea to Bai Yeqing.
"Thank you." He answered. Put out the cigarette butt in your hand and throw it into the trash can nearby. He looked at Shen Min with a solemn expression, "Aunt Shen, please take a step to speak."
Shen Min was quite surprised. But seeing his serious expression, I guessed it was not a trivial matter. Moreover, taking a step to speak clearly meant that he wanted to avoid the stars.
She nodded and gathered her clothes, "Let's go to the small hall to chat."
Bai Ye nodded and followed Shen Min towards the small hall.
The small hall is very warm. A brazier was raised. Shen Min pulled up a chair next to the brazier and motioned for Bai Yeqing to sit down. Shen Min also sat down.
In the brazier, yellow fireworks were jumping, shining on the faces of the two people. Shen Min looked at him searchingly. He was holding hot tea, his thin lips were pressed tightly, and the lines on his face were tense. His eyes fell on the fire, as if he was thinking about something.
However, others could not see through his thoughts.
Shen Min was very patient and did not rush. Just wait quietly for him to sort out his thoughts.
