After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 139 Rebirth: A Second Marriage with a Cheat Code (8)
At this moment, Hu Qiaosheng, who had finished being affectionate with his son, came over. Seeing that the dishes on the table hadn't been cleared away, he immediately said:
"What are you two chatting about? Why haven't you cleared the table yet?"
Bai Xi immediately retorted, "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. Why don't you accept it?"
"I'm a guest now, how can I let a guest do it himself!" Hu Qiaosheng smugly snorted.
He was so happy right now. He used to get scolded by Bai Xi for doing housework all the time, but now he could finally stand up straight and not have to do chores anymore!
Yang Zhizhi temporarily put aside his bitterness and quickly got up to work.
As he worked, he muttered to himself, "I can clean up. Qiao Sheng is a guest; I can't let him do anything."
He was thinking to himself that he needed to let Hu Qiaosheng know that he and Bai Xi were family, and that Hu Qiaosheng was a guest, an outsider.
Hu Qiaosheng, who was being given special attention by Yang Zhizhi, was completely unaware that his rival was subtly showing off, and continued to chatter on and on.
“Brother Yang is right. I’m just a guest. How can you make me do any work? I’m here as a guest.”
Bai Xi understood Yang Zhi's meaning perfectly, but looking at Hu Qiaosheng's silly appearance, she looked at him as if he were an idiot and couldn't help but argue with him. "Guests should act like guests, don't be so formal."
Without even glancing at him, she ran off to help Yang Zhizhi. But the kitchen was too small; once she entered, neither of them could turn around.
Yang Zhizhi originally wanted to tell her to go and rest, but when he thought about Hu Qiaosheng and his son in the living room, he realized that if she went out, wouldn't that make the three of them feel comfortable? Then he would feel even more like an outsider, so he swallowed his words.
Bai Xi wanted to help him wash the dishes, but Yang Zhi couldn't bear to let her delicate hands get dirty, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Just hand me the pots and pans on the stove to wash, don't get your hands dirty."
Actually, there wasn't much on the stove; he had cleaned it all up, except for a wok that hadn't been washed.
In the past, when Bai Xi pretended to offer to help him, Yang Zhi always said not to bother her. But this time, he didn't ask her to go to the sofa and eat fruit.
Bai Xi pondered his unusual behavior tonight and began to understand. She knew Yang Zhi was interested in her, but since he hadn't said anything at first, she couldn't just assume it was him.
Later, because of the child, they saw each other more often, and Bai Xi saw another side of the man in him.
Bai Xi always thought that all men were the same: they were like little lambs outside, but turned into big bad wolves at home, not even knowing to pick up a fallen broom.
Calling them chauvinistic is giving them too much credit; they're just bullies at home, cowardly and selfish.
Of all the men she met, Hu Qiaosheng was considered quite good; at least in Bai Xi's mind, he was a decent man.
After all, Hu Qiaosheng was just a bit lazy at home and didn't take the initiative to do housework, but he didn't look down on women, nor did he think that marrying a wife meant that she should serve him.
But with Yang Zhi, Bai Xi saw another side of a good man. He would take the initiative to help with housework, respect Bai Xi, be responsible, and would stand up for her without hesitation when she encountered difficulties.
To be honest, Bai Xi wasn't entirely unmoved by it.
Especially when she saw Yang Zhi wearing a vest and shorts, his firm muscles and the faint bulges, and sometimes when their skin accidentally touched, it would make her heart race.
After all, Bai Xi hasn't been with a man for a long time, so her body is quite sensitive and it's normal for her to crave affection.
She doesn't think marriage is bad just because she's been divorced; each has its advantages. But she experienced the life of not getting married in her past life, and in this life, she wants to make a different choice.
At this moment, Bai Xi was observing Yang Zhi, who was focused on his work, with great interest. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and well-defined facial features. He looked very...charming.
If he wore a white shirt, he would definitely be even more charming. Cough cough, I can't think about it anymore, Bai Xi quickly snapped back to reality.
Unable to resist, she asked him again, "Have you always been this diligent?"
Yang Zhi, who had just noticed that Bai Si was staring at him, was putting on a good show when he suddenly heard this sentence.
Because she was a little eager to show off, she quickly said, "I'm a chef. I love cooking and I also like to keep my home tidy. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and can't stand a messy room."
Once Yang Zhi started talking, he couldn't stop, even explaining his monthly salary and clothing size.
As Bai Xue listened to his increasingly detailed explanation, she couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle, teasing him, "You don't need to explain in such detail. I'm just curious, how can a grown man like you be so diligent?"
Yang Zhi was a little embarrassed by Bai Xi's laughter. When he heard that Bai Xi wanted to know more about him, he couldn't help but say a few more words.
Now that things have come to this point, and everything that needed to be said has been said, Yang Zhi mustered his courage and asked, "Do you understand how I feel about you? I like you."
Bai Xi knew perfectly well, but she couldn't just say she knew directly, that would be too embarrassing, so she simply nodded slightly.
"Your reaction to Hu Qiaosheng's visit to our home today says it all."
Seeing that Bai Xi didn't dislike him, Yang Zhi felt a little excited. Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, he cut to the chase and asked Bai Xi:
"I like you, can you say yes? I know this is a bit rushed, but when I saw Hu Qiaosheng today, I just couldn't control myself."
"I'm afraid I'll regret it if I don't speak out now."
After Yang Zhi finished speaking, he stared intently at Bai Xi, afraid of missing any of her expressions.
After the two finished their work in the kitchen, Yang Zhi and Bai Xi came out one after the other, but both of them seemed a little awkward.
It was rather awkward for everyone to sit together like that, so Bai Xi asked Ming Peng, "Son, do you want to go out for a walk with Mom, maybe go to the night market?"
Before the child could answer, Hu Qiaosheng was even more excited than the child, waving his arms and shouting, "Great! The night market is so lively now, there are so many fun things to do and delicious things to eat. Anyway, we have nothing to do, let's go and have some fun!"
Looking at Hu Qiaosheng's childish temper, Yang Zhi thought to himself that it would be really immature of him to argue with him!
Hu Qiaosheng asked Yang Zhi if he wanted to come along, "Brother Yang, want to come together? It'll be more fun with more people!"
Yang Zhi glanced at Hu Qiaosheng and secretly groaned. He had treated Hu Qiaosheng as a rival in love, but Hu Qiaosheng treated him like an older brother. Luckily, he had won. If he had lost to him, he would have lost in a truly inexplicable way.
"Dad, please come, please! I really want to go with you!" Mingpeng looked at his father longingly, hoping that his father could come along.
