Chapter 1640 He Came Facing the Sunshine
The first light comes
The next morning, Meng Ke came to Bai Xiaoxiao's house very early.
The difference from the last time was that this time he called her in advance.
Bai Xiaoxiao answered the phone, got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
Meng Ke was nowhere to be seen in the living room, only her mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing her coming down, Bai Mu had a gentle smile on her face, stood up, and walked out of the sofa.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiao Meng said he called you. It seems to be true."
"It makes me unable to sleep."
Bai Xiaoxiao pretended to be dissatisfied and frowned, "Mom, where are my dad and Meng Ke?"
"Are you sure he is with your father?"
Bai Mu walked over with an angry smile and glanced in the direction of the door, "In the yard outside."
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "You don't have to guess, okay? If you weren't with my dad, would you be sitting alone in the living room?"
"Let's go outside and see what they are talking about, and ask them to come in for breakfast."
Bai Xiaoxiao took her mother and came to the yard together. Not far away, Meng Ke and Bai's father were sitting at the marble table.
Meng Ke was half-bent, pouring boiling water for Father Bai.
"Dad, are you two full after drinking boiled water? If not, go in and have breakfast."
Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Mu came to the marble table and joked with smiles.
After she finished speaking, she looked towards Meng Ke and met his smiling eyes, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Xiaoxiao, how could you ask such a question? Xiao Meng must have had nothing to eat since he came so early."
Bai Mu glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, and then warmly welcomed Meng Ke into the living room.
**
After breakfast, Meng Ke played a few games of chess with Bai's father. It was almost ten o'clock when Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao set off for Mo Xiuchen's house.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go buy gifts first."
As the car got on the road, Meng Ke turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao in the passenger seat and said in a gentle tone.
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "I bought the gift yesterday. We can just go to Ranran's house directly. There is no need to buy any more."
"Is this okay? This is my first time to celebrate the birthdays of those three little darlings. If I go empty-handed, will I be called too stingy?"
Meng Ke's eyes flashed with a glint, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him funny, "How could it be possible? You are my boyfriend. This gift is given on behalf of the two of us."
She said, turning to look at the gift on the back seat.
Meng Ke seemed to think for a few seconds, the smile in his eyes brightened, and his mood suddenly improved, "Okay, since you said so, I won't buy it."
What he fears most is that Xiaoxiao is too clearly separated from him.
That day at his house, Xiaoxiao didn't accept his gift, which made him feel very sad.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao said that he was her boyfriend and the gift she bought represented the two of them. It seemed that he took advantage, but he was very happy.
Halfway through, I didn't know what happened in front of me, and there was a long queue of cars.
Seeing that the traffic jam had reached ten forty and there was no sign of loosening in front, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned as she lost her patience.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't we go down for a walk."
Meng Ke looked out of the car window, observed this section of road, turned around, and asked Bai Xiaoxiao gently.
Bai Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip hesitantly, then lowered her head to look at the time. She didn't know how long the traffic jam would last.
The phone rang, it was a call from Wen Ran.
"Xiaoxiao, why haven't you arrived yet? Are you still at home?"
On the phone, Wen Ran's voice sounded two parts concerned and two parts joking.
Bai Xiaoxiao turned to look out the window, "I'm stuck on the road. I've been stuck for half an hour. I don't know how long it will last."
"Ah, are you stuck in traffic too?"
In his ears, there was Wen Ran's surprised voice.
Bai Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully, "Am I not the only one blocking the road?"
"Of course you are not the only one, Luo Haofeng is also blocked in the road. Are you alone, or..."
Bai Xiaoxiao's heart beat inexplicably.
Just because Wen Ran said that person was also blocked on the road.
She held the phone harder and subconsciously looked in front of her, then turned her head and looked behind her.
Feeling Meng Ke's eyes next to her, Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him again, with a smile on her face, "I'm with Meng Ke, but I don't know how long this road will be blocked, so I decided to walk to your house. "
"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao turned to Meng Ke and said, "Let's go. I'll get out of the car and walk as you say. I'll make a call first and ask someone to come and help drive."
"Let me make the call. The travel agency is close to here, which is more convenient."
Meng Ke said with a smile, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't stop him. No one knew how long the traffic jam would last. It might be another half hour, or maybe it would stop in a few minutes.
After making the call, Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao waited for another two minutes. After his people arrived, they got out of the car with the gifts.
"I've already told Ranran that she will send a car to pick us up, and we will just drive the car directly to the travel agency in a while."
After Bai Xiaoxiao explained to the man, she and Meng Ke walked forward.
"Xiao Xiao!"
After taking just two steps, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
Bai Xiaoxiao's feet froze, and her body stiffened as well.
Next to him, Meng Ke seemed to have recognized the owner of the voice for the first time. His eyes changed slightly, and he glanced sideways at Bai Xiaoxiao before turning around and looking at the source of the voice.
A few meters behind them, a handsome and tall figure walked toward them in the sunshine.
Under the sunlight, the handsome and carved facial features seemed to be coated with a layer of bright golden light, making him indescribably handsome and charming.
The most heart-stopping thing was his smile.
The brows were lightly raised, the corners of the mouth were curved in a charming arc, and little bits of golden light fell into those charming peach blossom eyes, like a stream of light, making Bai Xiaoxiao momentarily dazzled.
Meng Ke's hand holding the gift subconsciously tightened.
Luo Haofeng, who was walking opposite, stopped in front of them like an old friend, his smiling peach blossom eyes swept over Bai Xiaoxiao, and finally rested on Meng Ke's face.
"Mr. Meng, long time no see."
Meng Ke's eyes flashed slightly.
Luo Haofeng actually greeted him first. He originally thought that Luo Haofeng would ignore him and reminisce with Bai Xiaoxiao first.
He was holding the gift in both hands. Looking at Luo Haofeng's stretched out hand, he quickly transferred the gift to the other hand and reached out to shake Luo Haofeng's hand.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk while walking."
Luo Haofeng took back his hand and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.
No matter his tone, eyes, or smile, he was like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
There is none of the embarrassment of a lover who has broken up or the hostility and awkwardness of facing a love rival.
Bai Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and smiled, "I just said that you were also stuck on this road. I didn't expect that you would get out of the car and walk."
