Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 84. He's my husband.
"Bai Xiaoxiao!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." She waved her hand and handed her the handbag. "Here, this is for you. It'll be useful."

Jiang Jixu asked curiously, "What is it?"

Bai Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and coughed lightly, "Anyway, it's a good thing. You can wait for your husband to come back and open it together."

Jiang Jixu nodded, and without thinking much, placed the tote bag on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Then I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

Would you like a beverage or tea?

"I'd like some drinks, please." Bai Xiaoxiao took off her coat. "Guess who I ran into at the entrance of your neighborhood just now."

Jiang Jixu glanced at her: "Only drinks."

Bai Xiaoxiao pouted: "Kids' table."

Jiang Jixu took out two bottles of juice and handed one to her: "Please understand, we just moved in, and all of this stuff was bought just yesterday."

Who did you run into?

Bai Xiaoxiao unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and grimaced from the cold: "Who else could it be but my one and only nemesis?"

Jiang Jixu suddenly stopped moving.

"Shao Ming?"

"It's that guy." Bai Xiaoxiao leaned on the bar and poured out her grievances to her. "Why did he come here for no reason? Did he get patronized again?"

"Isn't the money I give him enough? Why does he like being a gigolo? Can't he just focus on his studies? Damn it, I'd rather be his gigolo than someone else's."

Just as Jiang Jixu was about to remind her that all of this might be a misunderstanding, he heard a chilly male voice at the door.

"So Miss Bai harbors such feelings for me."

Bai Xiaoxiao froze, then looked at Jiang Jixu with a horrified expression: "Baby, I think I'm hallucinating."

Jiang Jixu patted her shoulder sympathetically: "Perhaps it's not a hallucination."

"It's not a hallucination?"

She turned around in a daze.

Two figures stood in the entrance hall.

One of them wore familiar gold-rimmed glasses. She had taken them off countless times because the lenses would fog up during kisses and were quite in the way. But she also loved seeing the person with the glasses take them off himself, as it meant he had lost control of himself because of her once again.

But now, looking into those gloomy, cold eyes behind the glasses, Bai Xiaoxiao had only one thought in her mind.

run!
As if he could see through Bai Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Shao Ming curled his lips, his tone revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"Didn't you say you wanted to take care of me? What, could it be that Miss Bai was just talking big and is actually a coward?"

"Who said that!"

Bai Xiaoxiao slammed her hand on the table, easily taking the bait.

Jiang Jixu, standing nearby, couldn't bear to look directly at him and could only quietly beckon to Lu Lishen with her finger.

The man noticed her subtle movements, a slight smile playing on his lips, and walked over naturally: "What's wrong?"

"Why is Shao Ming here?!" Jiang Jixu said in a low voice.

Lu Lishen waved the bag in his hand: "I asked him to deliver some secret seasoning, but he insisted on coming over for a free meal, and I couldn't do anything about it."

Seeing Jiang Jixu's furrowed brow, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Shao Ming knows what he's doing."

The girl glanced at him and shook her head.

"Shao Ming knows how to behave, but Xiao Xiao may not."

Before the situation became critical, Jiang Jixu decided to strike first.

She stepped forward and took Bai Xiaoxiao's arm: "Xiaoxiao, haven't you always wanted to see my husband? Well, here he is, my husband, Lu Lishen."

The man's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

His clear and sparse eyebrows curved slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his rosy lips, warm and gentle. His dark and deep eyes were like stars, full of uncontrollable emotions and joy.

"Hello, Miss Bai."

Bai Xiaoxiao paused slightly.

Although the other person was greeting her, their gaze was entirely focused on Jiang Jixu standing next to her.

Gentle and tender.

It seemed as if the girl was the only person in his sight.

With just one glance, Bai Xiaoxiao was certain.

This person is deeply in love with Jiang Jixu.

And his current happy, radiant appearance—was it because Jiang Jixu called him "husband" when introducing him? Bai Xiaoxiao's gaze towards Lu Lishen instantly became complicated.

Dude, you seem to have some perverted tendencies?

"Xiaoxiao?"

Bai Xiaoxiao silently swallowed her words: "Ah, hello, I'm her best friend."

Lu Lishen remained silent.

His mind was completely occupied by Jiang Jixu calling him "husband," and he had no time to care about anything else.

The four of them stared at each other, not to mention Bai Xiaoxiao and Shao Ming, a former couple with a complicated relationship that they could talk about for days and nights.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Jixu was on the verge of a breakdown.

Good heavens, are we really going to have to rely on her to liven things up?
"Um... how about we sit down and have some tea first?"

Shao Ming calmly withdrew his gaze: "No need, sister-in-law. I have things to do at school, so I'll head back first."

"Ah this..."

"Wait a minute." Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up.

Jiang Jixu was startled and frantically tried to signal to Lu Lishen with her eyes.

Will these two start arguing?!

But the man seemed to have hung up, and when he saw her looking over, he asked with a smile, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Jiang Jixu: "..."

She was so tired.

Bai Xiaoxiao, hands on her hips, got straight to the point, frowning and glaring at Shao Ming: "Why do you call me 'Bao Di-mei'?!"

Jiang Jixu was dumbfounded.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out that this was what Bai Xiaoxiao cared about.

Shao Ming, however, seemed unsurprised, coldly looking at her: "Ah Shen is the second oldest in our dorm, I treat him like a younger brother, what's wrong with me calling Ah Shen's wife my sister-in-law?"

Bai Xiaoxiao's face flushed red: "Of course there's a problem!"

She must have come from Jiang Jixu's generation.

She was already a generation older than Shao Ming and of a higher generation, so how did her own sister's marriage lower her generation?

It's one thing if it's someone else, but it just had to happen in front of Shao Ming.

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it at all.

The lens in front of Shao Ming's eyes reflected white light under the glass.

"What's the problem? Does Miss Bai think that now that the generational gap has changed, it's harder for you to keep me as your sugar daddy?"

"Shameless!" Bai Xiaoxiao stomped her foot angrily. "Who wants to keep you as a sugar daddy!"

Shao Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, his smile gentle: "Didn't Miss Bai say it herself? Rather than being taken care of by someone else, I'd rather be taken care of by you, Miss Bai... What, is Miss Bai a fish, with a memory that only lasts seven seconds?"

Jiang Jixu watched as the usually eloquent woman, who was as good as seven men, was rendered speechless by Shao Ming's retorts, and couldn't help but whisper, "This Bai Xiaoxiao nemesis is no joke."

The man standing right next to her chuckled upon hearing this.

"It's still uncertain who is whose nemesis."

"?"

Just as Jiang Jixu was about to ask what it meant, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

The ringing of the phone also interrupted the standoff between Shao Ming and Bai Xiaoxiao.

The woman rolled her eyes at him, picked up her juice, and gulped it down in one go.

Shao Ming frowned slightly as he looked at the watermark left on the table where the juice used to be. He walked over and snatched the bottle from her hand.

"Drinking iced drinks on a day like this, Miss Bai is really asking for trouble."

Bai Xiaoxiao glared at him: "None of your business!"

Jiang Jixu reluctantly took out her phone. The screen showed an unknown number. She didn't think much of it and answered it casually.

"Hey."

"Hey, Jiang Jixu, it's me, Lin Feng! Come to the hospital right away, something's happened to Brother Ci!"

Thank you for your support, my darlings! I'll add more chapters during my holiday in a few days~
