C49 Don't Wake Him up
I whispered, "Was it your daughter who just spoke to you?"
Sister Li smiled and nodded: "It's Xiao Bao. "Come on in."
I followed Sister Li into the living room. I greeted the Sister Li's parents with a polite smile, "Uncle, Auntie, hello to you."
Sister Li's parents returned my greeting with a smile. Sister Li introduced Xiao Wang to them. "This is Xiao Wang, the foster brother that I met in Xi'an."
I was stunned as I looked straight at Sister Li. When I saw her giving me a look, I immediately relaxed my expression. Although I was unhappy that she had given me a new identity to meet her parents, I couldn't show it now. He pretended to be calm as he sat on the sofa. He was very unhappy.
Sister Li's father looked to be around sixty to seventy years old. He had combed his hair back, and his hair was a little gray. Sister Li's mother looked to be about the same age as her father, but she was dressed very stylishly. She was dressed very well in the Northwest City, and her eyes were bright. The Sister Li was probably a combination of all of her parents' good looks.
Sister Li said to Xiao Bao: "Xiao Bao, call me uncle."
This was the first time Xiao Bao saw me, and he was a little shy. His big round eyes were opened, and his small meaty hands were by his mouth.
I responded with a smile. I got up and sat beside Xiao Bao, then picked her up and played with her on my lap.
Seeing that I liked Xiao Bao so much, the Sister Li laughed happily and said: "Xiao Wang, you talk to my parents first, I'll go make dinner."
I smirked and said, "En, Sister Li, you're busy."
Sister Li entered the kitchen and I hugged Xiao Bao to play with her. This is the first time Xiao Bao met me just now, so she was a little shy. Even though he was not even four years old, his brain was very intelligent, probably inherited from the Sister Li.
Sister Li's father asked me with a smile: "What does Xiao Wang do?"
I hugged Xiao Bao in my arms and politely replied, "Uncle, I work for a design company."
Sister Li's father nodded. "Oh, is it a design, a city planning design or a house design?"
Sister Li's parents were university teachers, so they had a pretty good understanding of this. "Indoor," I replied.
Sister Li's father nodded in understanding. "Oh."
The Sister Li's mother asked me while beaming: "Xiao Wang, how did you and our Chen Li get to know each other?"
I smiled and replied: "The Sister Li's company decoration is something that our company has taken on. I've made a plan for the Sister Li's company, and now we know each other. Hur Hur."
Sister Li's parents chatted idly with me, asking me how many siblings I had, where my home was, and what my parents did for me. It was always a family affair, and I answered them one by one.
Xiao Bao sat on my lap, her meaty little hand grabbing onto my palm as she played with it. Sister Li's mother laughed and said, "This little guy really likes you."
I like children a lot too, especially a beautiful and cute girl like Xiao Bao. She's also very intelligent, which makes her even more likeable. I said smilingly, "Xiao Bao and Sister Li look alike."
Sister Li's mother laughed: "It seems pretty similar, all of us upstairs like to call her Little Chen Li. She always says seriously that Chen Li is my mother. "Hehe."
Xiao Bao innocently opened her big, bright eyes, and said with a childish voice: "Uncle, Chen Li is my mother, she is cooking dinner in the kitchen, the grandparents upstairs are all teasing me."
This little guy was too smart. Not only did I see him, I also saw how when I was young in Sister Li, she used her little hands to squeeze my face and gently shook it. She giggled, "Uncle, does it hurt?"
I smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt." She pinched her own face and made a face at me. She giggled. She was extremely cute.
I put Xiao Bao down, then went over to help Sister Li carry the dishes and rice out and put them on the table. After I served the food to Sister Li's parents and Xiao Bao, I sat down.
Sister Li was very satisfied with my performance, secretly smiling at me from time to time. During dinner, he specially went to the living room to bring the Western Phoenix Wine that I bought and recommended it to her father: "Dad, this is the Western Phoenix Wine that Xiao Wang brought over, it's very famous, do you want some?"
Sister Li's father took the bottle and looked at it, then said: "In the past, I have only heard of Western Phoenix Wine and have never tasted it. Normally, I would like to drink it, but there is no one accompanying me."
The Sister Li said, "Let Xiao Wang drink with you. They, the people of Shaanxi Province, are very good at drinking."
Sister Li's father smiled and asked me, "Xiao Wang, do you want some?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle." He got up and said, "Uncle, let me do it."
He took the wine from him, unwrapped it, and poured half a goblet for me and him. I raised my cup and toasted the Sister Li's father as we drank.
Xiao Bao shakily ran in front of me and said childishly: "Uncle, do you like it?"
I smiled at Xiao Bao and said it was very spicy. Sister Li called her, "Xiao Bao, come to Mommy's place and let Mommy kiss you properly. It's been so long since we last met, and you almost miss me."
Xiao Bao returned back to Sister Li's side and leaned over to let Sister Li kiss him a few times. He also kissed Sister Li's face a few times.
Sister Li's father and I would drink a little bit from time to time. Sister Li's mother and Sister Li were chatting, asking her about the things that happened in Xi'an these past few days. After that, we carefully looked at Sister Li and asked her, "Lili, you seem to have lost a lot of weight.
I glanced at Sister Li and she also looked at me. She said to her mother, "That's right. The company has been quite busy recently."
Her mother said with concern, "Then take care of yourself. Pay attention to your body."
Actually, Sister Li had already lost weight a month ago, compared to his sallow face from before, he had recovered a lot. However, his body had not gained weight since then.
Sister Li's father and I drank a mouthful of wine. As we carefully savored the wine, he said, "This wine is good wine. It's taste isn't bad. It's very fragrant."
I said, "Does Uncle usually drink?"
He nodded and said, "I like it, but drinking alone is boring. It's only interesting when there are many people drinking slowly."
Sister Li laughed and said: "Then Father, we should just let Xiao Wang come to our house to eat for the past few days, then there will be someone to drink with you."
Sister Li's mother stared at her and said, "Do you think your father is as young as Xiao Wang? He's already seventy years old, and would drink until his stomach breaks every day."
Sister Li's father laughed and asked me, "How old is Xiao Wang?"
I said, "Twenty-five."
Sister Li's father said, "He's still very young."
The Sister Li praised me and said, "My company's decorations were designed by him. The effects are very good.
Sister Li's father held up a cup of wine and said, "Xiao Wang, taking advantage of your youth, if you have the ability, you have to work hard. The competition in this society is very intense right now. "Come, let's have a drink."
I humbly nodded and drank a cup of wine with Sister Li's father.
The West Phoenix Wine is very strong, every time I hold the cup up I don't dare to drink too much, I'm afraid that if I drink too much, I would embarrass myself by saying something that I shouldn't have said in front of Sister Li's parents.
When they were almost done eating, Xiao Bao suddenly asked Sister Li: "Mom, where did daddy go?"
Sister Li was momentarily speechless. Sister Li's mother berated Xiao Bao sternly, "Xiao Bao, come over here, don't bother mother, come to grandmother's place."
However, Xiao Bao was too smart, and upon seeing his grandmother angry, he frowned and stopped asking. The Sister Li's expression changed a little as Xiao Bao's words reached her heart. Especially since they were both divorced, she was most afraid of having children. This was also the reason why Sister Li had to endure for so many years before being divorced. She was afraid that she would bring harm to the young Xiao Bao.
I saw that Sister Li's expression was a little gloomy, I was afraid that the family atmosphere would be bad, as an outsider, I was unable to deal with that kind of situation. The food was almost done, and he had drunk wine with Sister Li's father, hence he had also seen Xiao Bao. I then stood up to leave. Sister Li's parents did not ask me to stay, they just told me to come over often if I had time.
When Sister Li saw me out of the villa, Xiao Bao also ran over from the living room. He stood at the door and waved his hands, adorably saying: "Uncle, see you later."
When I saw Xiao Bao's innocent eyes and her cute expression, I turned around and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Goodbye Xiao Bao."
Sister Li chuckled and said: "If you have anything to say, contact me by phone."
I nodded my head, and looked at Sister Li affectionately for a moment, before turning around and leaving.
After returning to Da Yong's residence, she probably went out with Xin Ru to have a good time, so she had not come back yet.
Before I went to sleep, the Sister Li sent me a message, asking me if I was nervous today. How did it feel to see her parents? Let me not take it to heart when she says I'm her goddam brother.
I replied that her parents are pretty good, very nice, and Xiao Bao is very cute. As for the fact that she had covered up for a while in front of her parents that I was her goddam brother, I also understood that she had been forced to do so in the circumstances.
Sister Li said that she told her parents that she would go out to a few scenic spots in the city tomorrow and ask me to bring them along.
What should I say? Although they looked kind, they were still university teachers with status, so being with them made me feel very uncomfortable, maybe because I was afraid that they would find out about my relationship with Sister Li, I felt a little weak and cowardly, and my feelings for Sister Li became unbearable because her parents came to Xi'an, I was afraid that one day, when I was faced with a more difficult situation, I would be even more unable to take on those responsibilities.
In the middle of the night I heard the door creak softly. I knew that Da Yong had returned, but after drinking so I was a little sleepy and so I just ignored him.
He whispered, "The boy is asleep."
Then, he heard Xin Ru's voice: "Lower your voice, don't wake him up."
When I heard that Xin Ru had also come in, I could only close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. Da Yong whispered to Xin Ru: "Let's go to the other room to sleep."
Xin Ru said, "Mn … "Oh yeah, did you buy that one?"
Da Yong said: "I will buy it."
Then there was the sound of the door, and there was no sound.
