The production crew quickly boarded the plane and returned to China. Bai Qi sat in the VIP lounge of the airport and took a nap for half an hour. Then, she and Xi Chengyun boarded a plane to another European country.
"It's a pity that we can't bring the rest of the milk on the plane," Bai Qi sighed softly. She hugged the blanket, changed into slippers, and went back to sleep.
Xi Chengyun touched his head.
Xi Chengyun's mood was exceptionally peaceful at this moment, so he slowly closed his eyes.
Both of them slept so soundly that they even missed the in-flight meal.
When they landed on the ground, Bai Qi's stomach made a clear growling sound.
"Let's go eat first," Xi Chengyun said while dragging the luggage with one hand.
They didn't bring a lot of clothes. When they set off, all of them were reduced to one suitcase. The rest was left for the assistant to bring back to China.
Bai Qi responded in a low voice, "Hmm? Are we eating at home? "
"No, we'll eat outside. After eating and resting, we'll visit them."
"Oh, okay."
Bai Qi secretly pondered in her heart. It sounded like Mr. Xi and her uncle's family weren't very close.
Bai Qi didn't ask rashly. She pretended not to hear anything and obediently followed Mr. Xi. In this completely unfamiliar country, they walked from the airport to the streets.
Xi Chengyun seemed to have arranged a car early in the morning. A black car quickly picked them up and drove to the bustling avenue.
He didn't take Bai Qi to eat local specialties. Instead, after a few turns, they arrived at a Chinese restaurant in the corner with a half-lit sign.
"It'll be closed if we come any later." Someone inside stood up.
Bai Qi looked up. It was a Chinese woman in her fifties. She had a slight accent, which hadn't changed even after living abroad for many years.
She took a handwritten menu and handed it to Bai Qi.
She didn't seem to recognize them at all, so there was no surprise on her face.
Xi Chengyun lowered his head to mark something on the menu. As he did so, he said in a low voice, "Qi Qi, you have to tell me what you like and dislike."
Bai Qi nodded and watched him pick a few dishes.
Bai Qi: "Is that enough? If we eat too much, we won't be able to finish it. It'll be a waste. "
Xi Chengyun stopped in time, but he did not immediately return the menu to the lady boss.
He asked, "Did you like all the dishes you ordered?"
Bai Qi said, "I like her." He was afraid that Xi Chengyun would not believe him, so he added, "I really like her."
Speaking of which …
"How did Mr. Xi just happen to choose all my favorite dishes?"
Xi Chengyun's eyebrows relaxed a little, and he looked more sincere and gentle. He handed the menu to the lady boss and said in a low voice, "Every moment I spend with you makes me one step closer to remembering your preferences."
He said, "Look, Qiqi. You can pretend to be anything, but sometimes the real you can't hide it. "
Bai Qi's eyes flickered.
He felt that Mr. Xi's words seemed to be a subtle expression of love — I saw the real you, and I like the real you.
Perhaps Mr. Xi didn't mean to do it on purpose.
But he felt his heart soften a little.
Mr. Xi was too good at it.
Every sentence sounded like words of love.
