Chapter 36 There Was a Change Between the Two of them
“I don’t have a driver’s license yet. If I had one, I would send you back.”
After listening to Xiao He’s explanation, they looked out of the window and saw that the sky was gradually darkening. They had been chatting so happily that they hadn’t noticed
it.
Wang Li heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s alright, I know. It’s really late. If it was any later, it would have been too dark and I might have entered a ditch while driving.”
Wang Li joked.
“Alright, then we won’t keep you any longer. Be careful on the way back,” said Li Ping as she got up to send them out.
Wang Li eventually got into her car. Before she drove off, the others stood in the doorway and advised her to drive home slowly.
Xiao He suddenly walked to the driver’s side, put his hand in front of the car window that had been rolled down, and slightly leaned his head over.
When Li Ping and Lin Feiyang saw this scene, they were very tactful and quickly carried the children into the house.
“Drive slowly on the way back. Call me when you get home.” Xiao He’s voice suddenly sounded very magnetic on this night.
Wang Li’s ears turned slightly red as she nodded and said, “Okay, you should head in as well.”
Xiao He nodded and took a step back as he watched Wang Li start the car and left.
So he also turned around and went back into the house.
The four people in the house were leaning on the glass window to look at the situation outside. When they saw Xiao He walking back, they hurriedly left the glass window and sat on the sofa, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Xiao He had already seen them peeking at him, but he did not say anything. He only stared at them.
Lin Feiyang started to feel guilty. So he picked up Lin Xi and gestured to his wife to get up as well and said, “Xi Xi is already sleepy so we’ll be going back first. Xi Xi, say goodbye to Uncle Xiao. We’ll come back tomorrow to play.”
Lin Feiyang shamelessly used Lin Xi as an excuse.
“Goodbye Big Brother Xiao Yun, goodbye Uncle Xiao He. Xi Xi will come back tomorrow to play with Big Brother Xiao Yun,” said Lin Xi to the two of them.
Xiao He smiled at Lin Xi. “Okay, then Xi Xi can come back tomorrow.”
Just like that, Lin Feiyang led his family of three home.
“Aren’t you going to wash up and sleep? Aren’t you going to town tomorrow?” asked Xiao He to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun nodded, put down the things in his hands, and went into the bedroom.
At this moment, Xiao He, who was in the living room, let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he had deliberately sent these people away.
The reason was that Wang Li was going to call him in a while. Although he was not sure if she would actually do so, if the others were present, he would be ridiculed to death.
Therefore, he sent all of them away so that he would not be embarrassed.
Xiao He walked around the living room with his phone in his hand. After about forty minutes, the phone rang.
Xiao He looked at the number on the phone and the corner of his mouth curled up. He didn’t let the other party wait any longer and picked up the phone.
“Hello, I’m already home,” said Wang Li.
“Okay, good. Do you want to rest early or chat for a while?” asked Xiao He.
The other party was a little surprised. She thought that Xiao He wouldn’t say anything after she returned home.
So she said, “It’s okay to chat for a while.”
Just like that, the two of them talked about the small things in their daily lives. Both got along very well and there were some things they talked about that resonated with each other.
After chatting for about an hour, Xiao He could tell that the other side was tired, so he took the initiative to say, “You should rest first. We’ll talk again next time.”
The two of them said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone. There was a change between the two of them that night.
After a good night’s sleep, the morning came.
Xiao Yun stood at the door, waiting for Li Ping and Lin Xi to come out.
“Big Brother Xiao Yun!”
A crisp voice rang out like a lark.
Xiao Yun looked up and across the street.
He saw Lin Xi wearing a white puffy dress and a pair of pink sandals. Her hair was tied into two braids with a bow clip on each.
She looked like a princess in a fairytale – cute, lively, playful, and beautiful.
Xiao Yun felt that it was not too much to describe Lin Xi with beautiful adjectives.
Lin Xi ran toward Xiao Yun and gently lifted the edge of her skirt with her two small hands. She turned around in front of Xiao Yun and asked expectantly, “What do you think, Big Brother Xiao Yun? Is Xi Xi beautiful today?”
Xiao Yun rubbed his chin and pretended to think. Then, he smiled and gave Lin Xi a thumbs up generously. “Xi Xi is too beautiful, just like a princess in a fairytale.”
Lin Xi heard Xiao Yun praise her and covered her mouth as she giggled happily.
“Okay, you’ve been so smug since morning. Haven’t you been complimented enough?” asked Li Ping as she ate the steamed buns at the dining table.
Lin Xi made a face at Li Ping without the latter knowing and Xiao Yun thought it was very cute.
as
“Xiao Yun, have you eaten? There are buns here, have two,” said Li Ping.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and refused. “I already ate and I’m still full.”
“Okay, then wait for me for a while. I’ll be done soon,” said Li Ping as she sped up the packing of what she needed for the outing today.
“It’s okay, there’s no rush. Aunty Wang Li isn’t here yet.”
Five minutes later, Li Ping was done packing. She planned to lock the door and wait for Wang Li at the main entrance with the two children.
“Aunty Li, has Xi Xi not bought her dance shoes yet?” asked Xiao Yun when he saw that Lin Xi didn’t come out wearing her dance shoes and Li Ping didn’t take them with her.
Li Ping patted the bag on her back and said, “We have and I have them, but I did not ask her to wear them now.”
At this moment, Wang Li’s car arrived.
“Alright, Sister Li, quickly get in the car,” said Wang Li as she opened the car door.
“Alright, children, do get in,” said Li Ping as she led the two children into the car.
“Is Brother Lin not at home?” asked Wang Li.
How could Li Ping not know that Wang Li’s intention was actually to ask about Xiao He? So she said, “Brother Lin went to the factory today to resign.
“Xiao He is with him too,” said Li Ping with a smile in her tone.
Wang Li blushed. “Gosh, Sister Li. I only asked about Brother Lin, not Xiao He.
“Well, I just wanted to reveal some information to someone so that I wouldn’t be restless all day.” Li Ping joked.
Wang Li touched her burning cheeks and said, “Oh, Sister Li, don’t tease me.”
Li Ping also knew that Wang Li was thin-skinned, so she didn’t continue to tease her. “Okay, okay. Then I won’t say any more.”
Lin Xi was very curious about the outside world along the way because Lin Feiyang and Li Ping were usually busy and didn’t have time to always bring her out to play.
