Chapter 96 Two People's Considerations
"..."
Seeing that Bai Qing was determined to get to the bottom of it, Xia Qing said angrily, "Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, you just need to know that Xiaoxi and I are not relatives, but Sheng is a relative!"
Bai Qing said, "Yes, yes, I see. If you and this little girl weren't so close, how could you, a big singer, take the risk of bringing her to the kindergarten? If this were to be exposed, I can imagine what the headlines of tomorrow's news would be -
"Shocking! Well-known singer Xia Qing had a baby out of wedlock, and the child is already here!
"Xia Qing's daughter suddenly appeared in the kindergarten. Who is Xia Qing's husband?"
Xia Qing was even more furious, and said angrily, "Enough! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Bai Qing smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Xiaoxi slid down the slide again. After making sure that Xia Qing was watching her from the side, she gradually became bolder and became interested in the slide on the higher level, climbing the stairs to the third floor.
After watching Xiaoxi slide down from the third floor, Bai Qing finally spoke again: "Who is this person?"
Xia Qing was speechless and angrily said: "Who are you?! Are you done yet?!"
Seeing Xia Qing's reaction, Bai Qing sighed and said, "Looking at you, I really guessed it right."
Xia Qing said angrily: "What did you guess?!"
Bai Qing said bluntly: "I guessed that you were attracted to a married man. Hmm... that shouldn't be right, I was wrong, let me correct it, the man should be divorced or widowed.
"In other words, you fell in love with a single father and were willing to take care of other people's children. You were also willing to take the risk of being discovered and bring the other person's child to my place to experience it. Am I right?"
Xia Qing panicked and said, "Yes, yes, you're right!"
Bai Qing said: "You stuttered, it seems that I was really right."
Xia Qing: "..."
Bai Qing glanced at Xia Qing and said, "Alright, don't hide it from me. We are best friends, how can I not see what kind of person you are? Even though you are wearing a mask and sunglasses, I can never hide what you are thinking from me."
Xia Qing took a deep breath and then said, "Haha! Let me tell you, you really got it wrong this time! I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else - Xiaoxi is actually an orphan. I met Xiaoxi by chance one time, and we got along very well, so we gradually became familiar with each other.
"She has been adopted by someone else now. She is very dependent on the person who adopted her, so she is unwilling to leave the person who adopted her to go to kindergarten. People know that Xiaoxi can get close to me, so they asked me to bring Xiaoxi to the kindergarten to get familiar with the environment first.
"This is the situation, believe it or not!"
"Is that so?"
Bai Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you said so, of course I believe it. It turns out that what you like is not a single uncle with a baby, but a loving young man."
Xia Qing felt a ball of anger rising up: "Are you done yet?"
Bai Qing smiled, then sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then I won't mention it. Anyway, I've never seen you in this state before. I think you might really be attracted to her - not just to this girl. Think about it carefully and take it easy."
Xia Qing: "..."
She didn't say anything, but she wasn't sure if she was too lazy to argue or if she had no way to argue.
After a long while, she shook her head and said to herself: Why think so much? Anyway, I just like Xiaoxi and can't bear to leave Xiaoxi. Nothing else matters!
"But, this little girl is really likable and also makes people feel sorry for her."
Bai Qing suddenly said again.
She smiled and continued, "It's really strange. Xiaoxi has only been in the kindergarten for a short while, and she refused to communicate with me the whole time. How come I think she is so cute and likable?"
Xia Qing said as a matter of course: "Xiao Xi is so cute, she is naturally likable."
Bai Qing shook her head and said nothing.
"Slip out——"
Xiaoxi once again slid down from the three-story-high spinning topic, turned around, and smiled at Xia Qing.
“She finally smiled.”
When Bai Qing saw Xiaoxi's smile, she seemed to be infected and started laughing too.
"Ah."
Xia Qing also smiled and said, "Look how beautiful her smile is?"
Bai Qing nodded and said, "Yes."
……
At noon, Xia Qing asked Xiaoxi for her opinion on eating here. Xiaoxi had a good time in the kindergarten and agreed.
They went out to have lunch with Bai Qing, who specially ordered some pastries for Xiao Xi, which she enjoyed very much.
Xiaoxi happily finished her pastries and said to Bai Qing, "Thank you, teacher." Bai Qing suddenly felt that she was healed.
After being treated coldly for the whole morning, she finally heard Xiaoxi respond to her, and she instantly felt like the clouds had finally cleared and the moon had appeared. "Go back and talk to your husband, if Xiaoxi gradually adapts, let her come to our kindergarten. I can talk to the kindergarten and give Xiaoxi a discount. Anyway, Xiaoxi is exactly five years old, so she can go to the senior class with me."
Bai Qing said so.
But her words immediately caused Xia Qing to protest: "What do you mean my girlfriend?! I already said we have nothing to do with each other!"
Bai Qing said: "Yes, yes, yes! It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. Why are you so excited?"
"Xia Qing: "..."
She felt that she couldn't wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Bai Qing was still talking and continued, "Whether it's related or not, you haven't told me yet, what exactly is Xiaoxi's adoptive father like? I have to ask about her family situation when I take care of Xiaoxi in the future, right?"
Xia Qing didn't want to continue this topic with Bai Qing, so she said, "Let's talk about it after Xiaoxi can come to your kindergarten."
Bai Qing: “Heh!”
Xia Qing: "..."
……
In the kindergarten, there are two teachers for each class, and one childcare provider. The two teachers are divided into morning and afternoon classes. Bai Qing is in the afternoon class today, so she can take Xia Qing and Xiao Xi to see the kindergarten in the morning and have a meal at noon. After lunch, she has to go back to teach the class.
So Bai Qing, Xia Qing and Xiaoxi came out of the hotel and parted ways. Bai Qing returned to the kindergarten, and Xia Qing drove Xiaoxi back to Jinye Building.
On the way to the car, Xiaoxi, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly called out, "Sister."
"Ok?"
Xia Qing took a look in the rearview mirror. Xiaoxi was too short, and the angle of her rearview mirror was not adjusted well. She had to tilt her body slightly and stretch her neck to see Xiaoxi.
"what happened?"
She asked.
Xiaoxi said: "I don't want to go to kindergarten."
Xia Qing sighed. When she was talking to Xiaobai, Xiaoxi was listening beside them, and she was brooding over their topic.
She thought about it seriously for a while and decided that it would be better not to be perfunctory to Xiaoxi. If she continued to be perfunctory to Xiaoxi, she and the uncle would tell Xiaoxi "no, no" or something like that whenever Xiaoxi said that, Xiaoxi would never be ready.
She said, "Xiao Xi, everyone has to go to school. Everyone has to grow up, this is inevitable. Only by going to school can you grow up better. Your sister went to school, Xiao Lin went to school, and your father went to school. We all went through this.
"There are many children in school who can play with you, and there are so many fun things to do. And even if you go to school, you will not be separated from your sister and Xiaolin.
"Let me calculate for you. There are 24 hours in a day. You go to school at 8 o'clock every day, and in the afternoon... well... I haven't been to school for a long time, and I don't know the current kindergarten hours, but for kindergarten, school should be over at 5 o'clock.
"So if you go to school, you will only spend one-third of your time in school. Xiaolin and I will be with you for the rest of the time."
Xiaoxi lowered her head silently without responding.
Xia Qing felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xiaoxi like this, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn't think she had said anything wrong. She firmly believed that she had done the right thing at that moment. It was wrong to indulge Xiaoxi too much.
After returning to Jinye Building, she took Xiaoxi to Lin Guzhi's office. After meeting Lin Guzhi, she told him about Xiaoxi's reaction to going to the kindergarten and what she said to Xiaoxi in the car.
She said this very seriously, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, fearing that the stinky uncle had some educational plans, and that her presumptuous behavior would disrupt the uncle's plans and lead to a scolding.
——Although the stinky uncle had never scolded her, the current situation was related to Xiaoxi's education and was very serious. What if her actions touched the uncle's reverse scale?
However, she waited anxiously, but what she got was the uncle's words: "Thank you."
"Um?!"
Hearing these two words coming out of Lin Guzhi's mouth, she was a little stunned for a moment.
Then she heard Lin Guzhi say: "I should have said these words to Xiaoxi, but I didn't expect you to say them for me. Thank you so much, you are more thoughtful than me."
Listening to Lin Guzhi's praise, Xia Qing suddenly felt relieved, so relieved that she even floated up. As soon as she was happy, she immediately made another suggestion: "Uncle, I actually have another idea - why don't you go to the kindergarten to be a security guard? My best friend works there and can help you ask. That way, you can work and accompany Xiaoxi to school at the same time, which is the best of both worlds, how great!"
Lin Guzhi: “…”
Xia Qing also realized that his suggestion was a bit inappropriate and smiled awkwardly.
Lin Guzhi sighed and said, "I want Xiaoxi to go to kindergarten, mainly because I want her to adapt and become independent slowly. If I go to work in the kindergarten just to accompany her, that would be putting the cart before the horse."
"Oh."
Xia Qing nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
