Chapter 559: Chapter 588 Uncomfortable
Lin Xi noticed that Xi Xiaoyi’s face looked a bit unusual and worried whether she was feeling unwell, asking, "Sister Xi, what’s the matter?"
Held by Xi Xiaoyi, Xixi reached out to touch Xi Xiaoyi’s forehead, "Mom’s forehead feels a bit hot, could it be a cold?"
At this moment, Xi Xiaoyi felt extremely embarrassed inside and shook her head immediately, "It’s nothing, probably just the breeze from outside!"
"The breeze?" Lin Xi was taken aback, in this Great Xia summer, could the hot wind have such an effect?
Seeing the two still looking puzzled, Xi Xiaoyi quickly shifted her gaze to the dining table, looking at the simple yet extremely fragrant three dishes and one soup, she couldn’t help but change the subject, "Let’s eat quickly, I’m really starving!"
Lin Xi nodded, and Xixi’s big eyes lit up even more, quickly saying, "Mom, I’m hungry too!"
Once the three sat down, they began to eat without saying a word.
The dishes were delicious, but during this time, Xi Xiaoyi occasionally glanced at Lin Xi while picking up food.
"Aside from being a bit younger, he’s really quite good!" She silently evaluated, "Not only can he cook, but he can also protect people, and he gets along so well with the baby. He’s truly the most suitable person."
"But, would he mind me?"
After all, Xi Xiaoyi was a single mother and no longer just by herself, not the perfect version of her.
Although she asked him last time in the car and he said he wouldn’t mind, given her current situation, would he really not mind?
Moreover, being so capable, he should be able to find someone better than herself!
At this moment, Xi Xiaoyi felt very conflicted inside.
But thinking about what happened at the kindergarten today, without Lin Xi, that little friend would have surely been in danger.
If she had gone to pick up, who knows if she might have been involved too.
But with Lin Xi, it seemed all these issues could be solved, after all, he’s so incredible, even the so-called boss of Beicheng treats him politely.
Who exactly is he?
Xi Xiaoyi suddenly realized she didn’t know much about Lin Xi at all.
"Sister Xi, do you have something on your mind?"
Lin Xi suddenly said this, almost causing her to drop her chopsticks, but she quickly shook her head, "I don’t have anything on my mind!"
Seeing her daughter curiously looking over as well, she showed a slight smile, "Stop looking at me, hurry and eat your food!"
"Also, after you’ve finished eating and watched your TV show, it’s time to wash up and go to bed, my dear!"
Xixi nodded, "Okay, mom!"
Half an hour later, all three had finished eating, and Xi Xiaoyi prepared to clear the dining table and the dishes, but how could Lin Xi let her do these things when he noticed she seemed distracted.
"I’ll clean up, you two go relax on the sofa!" Lin Xi said.
Xi Xiaoyi didn’t refuse, "I’m grateful then, Xiaolin!"
"Thanks a lot, Uncle Lin!" Xixi also said.
Lin Xi smiled and indicated it wasn’t a bother, then took the plates and bowls back to the kitchen. He spent about ten minutes tidying up everything before returning to the living room, where he saw the mother and daughter watching TV.
"Uncle Lin, come join us to watch, this is my favorite TV show!" Xixi eagerly said.
Lin Xi sat next to the two and started watching with them.
This show was set during the Republic period, focusing on some events from the northeast region. The style was very mature, generally attracting young adults and even older viewers.
Seeing the five-year-old Xixi beside him watching so attentively, Lin Xi couldn’t help but sigh internally, no wonder Xixi was so sensible despite her young age. She must have been influenced from a young age, or she was naturally an exceptional child.
After watching two episodes, it was almost nine o’clock. Xi Xiaoyi took Xixi to wash up before getting her to bed.
"Xiaolin, I’m really thankful fortoday!" Xi Xiaoyi said to Lin Xi after leaving Xixi’s room, "Without you, who knows what unpredictable things might have happened!"
