"What's the big deal?" Bai Ruiying didn't think it was a problem at all. "We have several drivers at home. I'll just assign one to pick you up and drop you off at get off work, and that will solve the problem, won't it?"

"No, no," Mother Pei still refused. "That's too much trouble. Xiaoxuan and I will go back to live here, and Xingzhi can stay here to keep Zhaozhao company."

Bai Ruiying: "What's the trouble? Mother-in-law, Zhaozhao loves your cooking the most. If you could stay here, Zhaozhao would be very happy."

"Hahaha..." Pei's mother laughed a few times, raised her hand and patted Bai Ruiying's hand. "I know Zhaozhao likes my cooking, so I went to the market early this morning to buy a lot of ingredients."

“It’s not far from here, so it’s very convenient for me to bring food over. Besides, all my pots and pans are at home, so it’s easier for me to cook for Zhaozhao when I go home.”

"Sigh..." Bai Ruiying sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade him.

"Alright then, I'll have to trouble you, my mother-in-law, to come here every day from now on."

Pei's mother: "It's not hard work. I walk back and forth every day, which is good exercise for me."

Bai Ruiying: "Your health is much better than mine. I stay at home all day and I'm always feeling unwell. I want to go out and exercise, but I always feel bored by myself."

"How about you come with me for a walk?" Pei's mother tentatively suggested, "You can come with me to deliver meals, and I'll guide you through some exercise."

“Okay!” Bai Ruiying was quite happy. “Then I’ll go with you, my mother-in-law, and we can both get in shape so we can take care of Xiangxiang in the future.”

Pei's mother: "Done!"

The two mothers sat on the sofa talking, while Xie Jiangshan and Xie Mingyi pulled Pei Xingzhi aside to chat in the yard. Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't understand what they were talking about, so she simply followed Song Yihuan upstairs and sat down with Jiang Mian and Duan Jialu to gossip and talk badly about each other.

Halfway through the conversation, Xie Zhaoyuan's cousins ​​joined in, adding some juicy gossip to their story.

Xie Zhaoyuan gasped, "Holy crap..."

"Oh my God……"

"Can this still happen?"

The lively atmosphere continued into the evening, and people gradually dispersed after dinner.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

Qin Song was taking a shower when there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she put on her clothes.

Bai Ruiying stood by the door and asked, "Zhaozhao, are you done washing?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I'm done washing up, and I'm getting dressed now."

Upon hearing her voice, Bai Ruiying couldn't help but laugh: "Zhaozhao, did you turn on the bathroom heater? Are you cold after you showered?"

Xie Zhaoyuan put on her fluffy pajamas, closed her eyes, and smelled the fragrance on the clothes.

Bai Ruiying prepared this set of pajamas for her. Before giving it to her, Bai Ruiying specially hand-washed the pajamas and then dried them in the sun to fill them with the scent of sunshine.

"I'm not cold," she said contentedly. "I'm very warm."

Bai Ruiying: "Then Zhaozhao, come out quickly, come out and Mom will blow-dry your hair."

Xie Zhaoyuan opened the bathroom door and, with a sweet and innocent face, said to Bai Ruiying, "I'm here!"

Bai Ruiying touched her face, her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles: "Silly child, come here quickly."

Xie Zhaoyuan followed her and sat down in front of the makeup mirror.

She took out the hairdryer and made sure it was hot before she dared to blow it on Xie Zhaoyuan's head.

Is this temperature okay?

"It's great." Xie Zhaoyuan closed her eyes comfortably. "Mom plays it especially well."

Bai Ruiying looked at her in the mirror, her eyes incredibly gentle: "Then from now on, your hair will be styled by your mother, okay?"

"Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled happily.

Bai Ruiying: "Actually, your dad also wanted to come over and blow-dry your hair."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Really? Then why didn't I see him?"

“Hmph,” Bai Ruiying scoffed, “because he couldn’t beat me.”

Xie Zhaoyuan opened her eyes, tilted her head back and looked at Bai Ruiying: "Where is Daddy?"

Bai Ruiying freed one hand and tapped the small mole on the tip of her nose: "He's in the study, and if I'm not mistaken, he's probably feeling down and dragging Xingzhi to play chess with him."

"Hmph..." Xie Zhaoyuan chuckled foolishly twice.

Bai Ruiying dried her hair roots and then dried the ends.

"Zhaozhao, is Xingzhi good to you?"

"He treats me very well," Xie Zhaoyuan replied without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Ruiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "For example? In what ways has he been very good to you?"

“Hmm…” Xie Zhaoyuan thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head, “I can’t think of any examples.”

"Why?" Bai Ruiying asked, somewhat curious.

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Because in my memory, Pei Xingzhi has never done anything wrong. He is very meticulous and patient. He is serious about his work and has excellent abilities. Although he can be stubborn and refuse to listen to advice at times, in my eyes, he is just very, very good."

"He has so many good qualities that I don't even know where to begin."

"I don't know where to begin." After drying her hair, Bai Ruiying put the hairdryer away.

She took Xie Zhaoyuan's hand and led her to sit down on the bedside.

"Happiness is made up of many, many little things. When these little things reach a certain number, you won't know how to express them. Your heart will only be filled with happiness and joy, and there won't be any other messy thoughts."

Even if someone wants you to say it, you don't know how to say it. Because whether you are happy or not is up to you, you just need to focus on your own heart.

“Zhaozhao, you didn’t choose the wrong person. Mom also thinks highly of Xingzhi.”

"Yes!" Xie Zhaoyuan nodded vigorously, her eyes involuntarily becoming hot.

Bai Ruiying patted her head, said a few more words to her, and then got up and left her room.

Less than a minute later, Pei Xingzhi returned quietly.

"Zhao Zhao."

"Come on, get into bed." Xie Zhaoyuan patted the spot next to her and warmly invited Pei Xing to get into bed.

Pei Xingzhi obediently came up and then pulled her into his arms: "What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I miss you, but I miss even more the topic we didn't finish talking about during the day."

"Pei Xingzhi, have you decided what you want to call me?"

Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, his expression instantly becoming somewhat arrogant: "I've made up my mind."

"Tell me quickly!" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at him expectantly.

But he wasn't in a hurry to speak. Instead, he casually made his request: "Of course I'll say something, but doesn't Zhao Zhao have any intention of doing anything?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "..."

She knew what Pei Xingzhi was implying, so she didn't answer but took action directly.

She tilted her head slightly in Pei Xingzhi's arms and gave him a light, fleeting kiss on the corner of his mouth.

After the kiss, I obediently waited for the answer.

"...That's it?" Pei Xingzhi was clearly dissatisfied.

Xie Zhaoyuan bit her lip, but helplessly kissed him on the lips again.

"...That's it?" He was still not satisfied.

Xie Zhaoyuan glared at him reproachfully, then tilted her head back and pressed her lips to his for the third time.

But he suddenly lost his patience and bit her lip, automatically demanding his own gesture.

"Hmm..." Xie Zhaoyuan murmured softly, her lips parted in a somewhat helpless manner as Pei Xingzhi did as he pleased.

Pei Xingzhi was a little dissatisfied, and while they were kissing, he suddenly pinched Xie Zhaoyuan's waist lightly.

Xie Zhaoyuan understood his meaning, so she clumsily but sincerely took the initiative to stick out her tongue and entwine it with his.

He was a little happier then, and changed his pinching motion to a gentle caress.

"Ah……"

Their disordered breathing mingled together, and their body temperatures rose uncontrollably.

Pei Xingzhi, with Xie Zhaoyuan's lips between his teeth, breathed heavily and uttered two words.

“Ah…”

"How about I call you A-Yuan?"

Xie Zhaoyuan opened her eyes in confusion, a touch of rouge red tinged at the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, I like it."

Pei Xingzhi chuckled softly, then leaned down, intending to continue.

But Xie Zhaoyuan suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"No."

Pei Xingzhi frowned: "Why? I... I just want to kiss you and hug you, I won't do anything else."

Xie Zhaoyuan pinched his cheek: "Kissing and hugging are not allowed either."

"Why?" Pei Xingzhi asked, sounding a little aggrieved.
