Chapter 64
Kexun's new product launch event was scheduled to start at ten o'clock in the morning, and Fu Jingxiu rented a demonstration hall in the Convention and Exhibition Center of City A.Speeches in the morning, exchanges in the afternoon, and a dinner in the evening.
Although the journey was only two or three hours, Ji Huai couldn't bear to wake up too early, so the two arrived in City A a day earlier, and also went to the orphanage to visit Baimei.
When they arrived, Bai Mei sat on the small stool at the gate of the yard and waited. When she saw Tan Yi's car approaching, Bai Mei got up with a smile on her face.
Tan Yi got out of the car, walked around to the co-pilot to open the door, and carefully helped Ji Huai down, the smile on Baimei's face became more and more sincere when she saw this - what she was most worried about was that people like Tan Yi would treat her Xiao Qi It's just for fun, don't treat him well.
Bai Mei went forward to meet her, and Ji Huai greeted her: "Teacher."
Bai Mei took his hand: "Hey, Xiao Qi is here. I haven't seen you for a month, and my belly has grown so much. The baby is growing really fast."
Ji Huai touched his swollen abdomen subconsciously, "It will grow the fastest in the next few months, and it will change every day."
Bai Mei said distressedly, "Are you tired?"
Ji Huai smiled and relieved her heart: "It's okay, it's okay."
At this moment, Tan Yi came out with a few bags from the trunk, and Bai Mei greeted him when she saw him approaching: "Come in, let's talk in the room."
Bai Mei lived here all her life. After the conditions in the orphanage improved, Dean Ji built a single dormitory for them, one bedroom, one living room with a kitchen, balcony and bathroom. The conditions were still very good.
After Tan Yi entered the door, he handed the things in his hand to Bai Mei: "Here are some nutritional supplements, and I asked my mother to buy a coat. It's going to be cold soon."
Bai Mei was overwhelmed by the flattery, she hurriedly said that she didn't dare to take it, she didn't say anything about Tan Yi, she refused after a while but happily accepted it.I opened the bag and touched it, "Oh, this is wool, it feels so soft."
"It should be, wool keeps warm." Tan Yi agreed.
The more Bai Mei looked at Tan Yi, the more pleasing her eyes became, she happily went to the kitchen to wash the fruit and brought it out, "The grapes are grown in the yard, and they have grown a lot, but the taste is a bit sour, not as sweet as the ones bought. Warm and warm I like to eat sour, last time I came here to eat a few teeth were sour, and I didn’t even eat lunch.”
Ji Huai couldn't help laughing: "She is the only one who dares to eat grapes."
Tan Yi also smiled: "Let me taste it, how sour it can be."
"It won't be so sour. Nuan Nuan just can't eat sour. When I was a child, I even cried when I ate apples." Ji Huai stretched out his hand to pinch the grapes, but Tan Yi first handed a peeled grape to his mouth.
Ji Huai was slightly taken aback, but Tan Yi looked calm: "I tasted one, it was a bit sour, but it should be just right for you to eat."
Bai Mei looked at them with a smile, and Ji Huai was a little embarrassed by her look, so he quickly lowered his head and ate the grape into his mouth.
Tan Yi's expression is natural, he has always handled fruits well at home, grapefruits have to be peeled, apples have to be peeled, dragon fruits have to be cut into pieces, but grapes have not been eaten for a long time, so there is no need to peel them I bought it a few times.
While eating, Tan Yi chatted with Bai Mei, and while chatting, Tan Yi suddenly asked, "Auntie, how did Ji Huai get his nickname? Is it because he is ranked seventh?"
"You mean Xiaoqi?" Bai Mei thought for a while, and then she found this passage from her memory more than 20 years ago, "That's not true. Although our orphanage is not big, we have a lot of children, so it's not like we ranked seventh." indivual."
She slowly recalled: "Xiaoqi was only three years old when he came here. He was young, with white skin and big eyes. He was wearing yellow shorts and white clothes. He was clean and beautiful, like a little girl."
"He resisted very much at first, and didn't let us approach him. He didn't say anything when asked his name, and we thought he was a little mute or not well developed. At that time, I led him in, thinking it was a girl. So I named him Kiki."
"Actually, it's not Xiao Qi, it's Xiao Qiqi. We shouted for a long time, but finally he was willing to let me bathe him. I took off his clothes and took a look. He's a little brat!" Bai Mei thought of this, I couldn't help laughing.
"It's not good for a boy to be called Qiqi, so we changed it to Xiaoqi. After a few months, he told us that he has a name, Su Huai, but everyone is used to calling it Xiaoqi, so we just call it Xiaoqi." It's a nickname."
Tan Yi became interested when he heard the words: "Like a little girl? Are there any pictures of him when he was a child?"
Ji Huai turned his head and gave him a hard look.
Tan Yi smiled and went to hold his hand, but Ji Huai avoided him.Bai Mei recalled it for a long time: "The conditions were not good at that time, there were no cameras, and the mobile phone was not as convenient as it is now, but there were no photos."
Tan Yi felt a little regretful, but Bai Mei suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I remembered, there is one, about three or four years old. It should be in the drawer in my room, I'll go get it."
"Teacher Bai!" Ji Huai was a little annoyed.
Bai Mei smiled: "Okay, I won't take it."
But the more Tan Yi thought about it, the more eager he was to move. Taking advantage of Ji Huai's time to go to the bathroom, he asked again and promised not to tell Ji Huai.Bai Mei didn't dare to go against his will, and felt that it was a trivial matter, so she took the photo album out of her room.
"It's this one. At that time, a couple wanted to adopt him. They took a photo at the entrance of the orphanage as a souvenir."
"Adopt?" Tan Yi asked after hearing what Bai Mei said, "Then why didn't you take it away?"
Bai Mei sighed softly: "At that time, Xiao Qi still didn't believe that his mother didn't want him anymore, and he refused to live or die. He was willing to go after being talked about by the dean and I, but he was sent back to his house within two days, saying that he was not familiar with him. , replaced with a little girl less than one year old."
Tan Yi only felt that his heart was pierced by a knife. A three or four-year-old child also vaguely knew something. How uncomfortable must he be to be abandoned so many times?
He looked down with complicated emotions. The photo in his hand was still an old-fashioned developed photo. On the slightly rough and dull picture, a couple wearing clothes in the style of the last century were holding a little boy carved in pink and jade, standing The entrance of the dilapidated orphanage.
The little boy has exquisite eyebrows and chubby cheeks, a lovely rosy mouth, and a skin as white as precious porcelain. His round eyes are only slightly raised at the end of the eyes, vaguely resembling the rudiments of a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes in the future. There is a small red mole everywhere.
Really pretty like a little girl.
The more Tan Yi watched it, the more he liked it, and he almost couldn't put it down. At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and he quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture, and then asked Bai Mei to put away the album.
As soon as Ji Huai entered the door, he saw Tan Yi smiling, and said casually, "What did you say, I'm so happy."
Tan Yi then replied: "Say...it would be nice to have a daughter, she is as beautiful as you were when you were a child."
Ji Huai became unhappy when he heard it, and deliberately lowered his face: "Mr. Bai, you promised me not to show him."
Bai Mei stared at Tan Yi with staring eyes: "Boss Tan, did you just buy me?"
Tan Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "Auntie, you let him cheat, what did I say that I saw that photo? Just based on Ji Huai's current appearance, I know that he must have been very beautiful when he was young."
Only then did Bai Mei realize that she was filled with regret.
Watching them joking and joking, Ji Huai couldn't help laughing too.None of the quarrels in the previous life happened, at least for now, Tan Yi treats Bai Mei like his elders.
It was late, and they had to go back to the city. Bai Mei glanced at her watch and asked, "It's past four o'clock, are you here for dinner?"
Tan Yi said: "No, let's go back to eat, rest early after eating, and get up early tomorrow."
Bai Mei wasn't polite to them either: "There's a big pot of rice here, and it's not cooked carefully. It's better to go back and cook some good food for Xiaoqi. Are you going to the city and staying in a hotel?"
"Live at home," Tan Yi said the word "home" in a very natural tone, causing Ji Huai to glance at him inexplicably, "I have asked someone to tidy up the room a few days ago."
What he was talking about was not the apartment he had been living in before. Although the transportation was convenient, that house contained many unbearable memories. Tan Yi didn't sell it, which was a warning to himself, but he didn't want to let Ji Huai Live in, make him feel bad.
Fortunately, he still has a few houses in the city center, one of which is only a ten-minute drive from the exhibition center, so he asked his aunt to clean up the room in advance, and he can live in tonight.
Bai Mei nodded: "That's good, it's better to live comfortably at home."
After sitting for a while, the two of them bid farewell to Bai Mei at five o'clock. Now that it's autumn, the days are getting shorter and shorter, and it will be dark after a while.
He felt hungry right away on Jihuai Road. He was pregnant and thin. He was prone to hypoglycemia after being hungry for a long time. They found a restaurant on the commercial street for dinner, walked around the mall by the way, and ordered a The crib, and then went to the place where he lived.
Tan Yi followed the navigation to find the address of his new home. This is a high-end residential area. When they drove past, they passed a cute and childlike building. Although the lighting was not good at night, the childish and naive signboard outside was still easy to see at a glance. Come out, this is a kindergarten.
Tan Yi's heart moved, thinking, this place is convenient, and Ji Yan will be able to walk here when he wants to go to kindergarten in the future.But then I thought that this kindergarten looks good, but I don't know how qualified it is. If I want to study at that time, I have to study it carefully, and I can't get close.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean going to kindergarten. He has a few friends who also have children at home. They invite teachers to teach at home. How to choose between better education quality and children’s socialization...
Tan Yi's thoughts were very advanced. When the car drove to the parking lot, he had already thought of the problem of the connection between children. When he stopped the car and turned his head to see Ji Huai who had fallen asleep in the co-pilot, his heart was sour and swelled.
Sometimes he feels that they are no different from ordinary lovers, but sometimes he thinks that Ji Huai still hasn't completely opened up to him.
Even if he has infinite patience and tolerance, he can't help but wonder when he will be completely forgiven.
But he dared not.
He only dared to lean forward and kissed Ji Huai's soft lips lightly, with a thousand words and nothing to say.
