He thought she would avoid him in embarrassment as before, but in the end, she nodded and admitted.

She said: "Yu Shaoting, I am confessing to you that I like you. I don't know when it started and I can't live without you."

When Yu Shaoting heard her saying this seriously, he suddenly laughed and even laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Bai Xiao felt that this was the first time she had the courage to confess to a man, but all she got in return was laughter, which hurt her face.

"...Nothing." Yu Shaoting looked at her with a smile.

Bai Xiao stopped fussing with him and curled up next to him, not feeling sleepy. After a moment of silence, she said, "Dad said he has stomach cancer."

"Who?" Yu Shaoting immediately understood why she looked so depressed when she was in the compound.

The news about Xu Hongyang's illness is still closed. Even Xu Hongyang himself has concealed it, and only a few people except the Xu family know about it.

Yu Zhanming obviously didn't tell his younger son either.

Whether it was for Xu Jingyan or Xu Hongyang, Bai Xiao didn't know what title she should use most appropriately. When Yu Shaoting asked, she just vaguely used 'that person's father' instead of another title. Yu Shaoting was silent for a while.

, asked her: "When did it happen?"

"The examination done yesterday and the report from the hospital today shows that the cancer is in the advanced stage."

Bai Xiao's voice was low and dry: "Although I blame them a little, I never thought that anyone would leave in this way."

Especially, after just getting involved with the Xu family.

No matter how much she denies it or pretends to be indifferent, her inner feelings cannot be deceived. She will have mood swings because of the Xu family's affairs. She finds that she is becoming soft-hearted little by little, and is no longer the original one.

Be so firm in your thoughts, whether it is about Xu Jingyan or Xu Hongyang's illness.

"You want to go to the capital to visit Mr. Xu?" Yu Shaoting broke the layer of paper with one sentence.

Bai Xiao shook his head: "I don't know. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I told you. Maybe it would be better to just say it."

Yu Shaoting's big hand caressed her back: "Put all these things aside and have a good sleep. Just remember that no matter what decision you make, I will be on your side, and Jing Xi,

We will always be by your side."

Before falling asleep, Bai Xiao squeezed his hand and shook it lightly: "Give me some time about the wedding, and I will definitely tell you when the time comes."

Yu Shaoting hugged her tightly and silently agreed to her request.

——————————

The next day, until evening, Bai Xiao did not receive any calls from the capital.

Unlike the previous two times, this time Xu Hongyang fell ill, but no one from the Xu family came to report to her.

Even Yu Jingxi noticed Bai Xiao's absent-mindedness and asked while eating pancakes: "Are you worried? Do you need my help?"

Bai Xiao touched his little head and opened her mouth to a six-year-old child who was holding pancakes and devouring them, but she didn't know how to express her feelings.

In the evening, when Yu Shaoting came back from get off work, Bai Xiao told him his plan: "I want to go back to Liyang to see my grandma tomorrow."

These days, Yu Shaoting can't get away from work.

He originally wanted to send Yang Xi to accompany her, but she refused. She promised him again and again that he would pay attention to safety, not compete with others, and avoid crowded places. After a long time, Yu Shaoting finally relented, but the next morning,

He still spared a few hours to personally take her to the high-speed rail station and watch her get on the high-speed rail.

…

After Bai Xiao arrived in Liyang, she walked out of the high-speed rail station and took a taxi directly to the hospital.

Grandma's complexion is much better than last time. Sister-in-law Wu said that the old man has been saying that he wants to be discharged from the hospital these days and wants to go home and see the vegetables in the fields.

Bai Xiao opened the door to the ward and went in. Grandma seemed more surprised than happy when she saw her, and the first thing she said was: "Why are you here again?"

Little Sister-in-law Wu laughed at the side: "I am not filial to you. Nowadays, there are very few children like this."

The old man seemed to be going downstairs to bask in the sun on weekdays. Bai Xiao helped Xiao Wu's sister-in-law push her grandma down, and the grandfather and grandson sat in the sun and chatted.

"I saw your father two days ago."

Bai Xiao paused in peeling the orange, and the old man sighed: "Fate has its way with people, and one person's selfish desires have harmed so many people. I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune."

The grandfather and grandson talked all afternoon. Bai Xiao left in the evening. She bought a ticket back to Fengcheng at 7pm.

This day came and went in a hurry.

Bai Xiao just got on the bus and received a call from Yu Shaoting. He said: "Call me when you get there and I will pick you up at the station."

"Okay." Bai Xiao held the phone and looked at the night scene that was regressing due to the train moving forward, and said in a low voice: "Yu Shaoting, I miss you."

She didn't know if he heard her. When she put away her phone and looked out the window again, her heart felt warm and she was no longer as lonely as before.

——————The author has something to say————————

The above is 5,000 words, and the following is a complimentary small theater "Parents Meeting"

When Yu Shaoting was seven years old, he became the most troublesome child in the class to his teacher as soon as he entered elementary school. He was not proficient in fighting and fighting.

In just one school year, Yu Shaoting was already transferred from the first class of the first grade to the last class, carrying his own crossbody bag, and finally was transferred back to the first class because of his connections.

The head teacher stared at him, turned around, and found that Yu Shaoting was in trouble again.

Finally one day, the head teacher couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Yu Shaoting and said: "Your parents must be present at tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting."

"My parents are not at home these days, can other relatives do it?" Seven-year-old Yu Shaoting still looks very cute and innocent.

The head teacher nodded, saying that a relative would be better than someone else. Finally, when Fang Yu Shaoting left, he emphasized: "Your relatives must come tomorrow."

During those few days, Yu Zhanming and his wife did go out, but Yu Shaoting's two-year-old cousin stayed at home. That night, Yu Shaoting stared at his drooling and giggling cousin for a long time.
