"Old Bai, why are you sitting there foolishly? Hurry up and take the kids out to eat." Mi Li reminded, "The takeaway you ordered is only enough for you to eat alone, and I don't know if it's hygienic."
Xi Baichen's face remained calm, his hands clasped around his chest, and he sat steadily.
Two groups looked at the takeout and then at Xi Baichen, looking pitiful as if they wanted to say but dared not.
"Let's go, we'll talk about anything after dinner."
Xi Baichen stood up and ordered, "Come here, I'll take you to dinner."
As soon as the two groups' eyes lit up, they quickly jumped off the sofa and followed behind him, bouncing back and forth.
Xi Baichen walked ahead on his own, letting them chase after him from behind.
"Walk slowly." Mi Li climbed up along his chest and rested on his shoulder, paying attention to the movements of the two small balls.
Xi baichen's footsteps paused slightly, waiting for the sound of small footsteps to approach before continuing to move forward.
He brought two small groups to a nearby Chinese restaurant, randomly selected a seat, and handed them the menu: "Order whatever you want."
Seeing two groups staring blankly at the menu, struggling to recognize the words on it, Mi Li spoke up again: "Old Bai, you're really enough. How many words do six or seven year old children know? And children can't eat too spicy food. Is it really okay for them to order freely?"
Xi Baichen remained silent, watching the two little balls show a look of deep hatred and bitterness.
The two little boys were even more bitter and resentful than him, trying to pretend to be obedient and sensible, so as not to be thrown into any corner by their own uncle.
Ask them what they like to eat
Xi Baichen asked indifferently, "What do you like to eat?"
The little boy was pleasantly surprised and said, "Uncle, I like to eat sour and spicy sad jelly, pan fried pork, rattan pepper chicken, and firecrackers to welcome spring!"
The little girl also timidly said, "I like to eat tomato stir fried tofu, mushroom and winter melon, mixed egg custard, spinach..."
"Haha, a carnivorous animal, a quality animal, what a lovely pair of little treasures." Mi Li couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Okay," Xi Baichen called the waiter and ordered the dishes according to the order. "Sour and spicy sad jelly, pot wrapped pork, rattan pepper chicken, firecrackers to welcome spring, tomato stir fried tofu, mushroom and winter melon, mixed egg custard, spinach."
"Wait!" Mi Li quickly stopped, "Don't order everything, can you three finish eating?"
The two little balls were very happy, their four big eyes shining brightly, and their faces full of anticipation.
Xi Baichen stared at them greedily and said, "You must finish all the dishes I ordered for you and not waste any, otherwise I will send you back to the police station."
The smiles of the two small groups instantly froze.
Mi Li: "..."
The waiter hesitated and said, "Sir, are you sure you want these dishes?"
"Of course not!" Mi Li shouted loudly, "Old Bai, Tengjiao Chicken, and Firecrackers Welcoming Spring are all spicy foods that are not suitable for children to eat. Spinach is also best avoided as it can easily affect children's brain development."
"No, remove the bell pepper chicken, firecrackers to welcome spring, and spinach," Xi Baichen changed his expression expressionlessly.
"...Okay," the waiter smiled and left.
The two small groups remembered the threat made by Xi Baichen just now and dared not protest.
When the food was ready, Xiaotuanzi got Xi Baichen's approval and eagerly picked up their chopsticks to start eating.
As soon as they took a few bites, their faces wrinkled into buns, and their once sparkling eyes dimmed. Disappointed, they drooped their heads and their faces clearly read "unappetizing, wanting to cry".
"Why aren't you eating?" Xi Baichen gave them a strange glance.
"Is there any need to ask? It's obviously not to his taste." Mi Li has a deep understanding of his thoughtlessness.
"Not to taste?" Xi Baichen ate slowly, "I think it's pretty good."
"Do you know what is unpalatable?" Mi Li roast.
Xi Baichen didn't pay attention to her, but glared sternly at the two little buns and said, "I just said that we can't waste it, we must eat it all, otherwise you will know the consequences."
Two small groups endured humiliation and grabbed food, feeling that this uncle was simply a demon.
Mi Li has some sympathy for them: "Old Bai, what are their names?"
"Xi Nuoqi, Xi Keran."
Upon hearing their uncle call their names, the two little balls simultaneously lifted their heads and looked at him with watery eyes.
"Why are you watching me? Let's eat," ordered Xi Baichen.
Two small groups with aggrieved faces: Aren't you calling us?
"So cute." Mi Li was swaying around his neck, "Can't you be a little friendly to them? They're clearly so obedient."
Xi Baichen turned a deaf ear and continued to eat.
Mi Li didn't care and asked, "How long do you plan to let them stay at your house?"
Xi Baichen paused as he picked up the food and frowned at the two little balls, saying, "Hurry up and eat. After finishing, I'll take you home."
"Mom and dad have gone abroad, and the nanny at home is also on vacation," Xi Nuoqi answered hesitantly. "Grandpa asked us to stay at your house for half a month."
"Half a month? Huh." Xi Baichen thought the old man was crazy.
Xi Keran carefully observed him for a moment and added, "Grandpa said that if you don't want to, he will bring down all the publishing houses he has worked with you."
Xi Baichen's hand had bulging veins, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect your grandfather, Old Bai, to still be a big shot boss. Tian Liang Wang played with his skills to perfection." Mi Li gloated over his misfortune.
Xi Baichen sneered, "He's not afraid that I'll cripple his precious great grandson."
Little Tuanzi, who was about to be disabled, looked at him with ignorance and fearlessness.
"Old Bai, if you are really dissatisfied with your grandfather, the best way is not to refuse, but to raise these two little buns well, tidy them up obediently, and completely replace your grandfather's position in their hearts."
Xi Baichen doesn't feel at all capable of subduing these two buns, nor is he interested in it.
Mi Li seemed to see through his thoughts and confidently said, "Don't worry, I will help you."
Xi Baichen didn't take her words to heart. What can a wandering little devil do to help him?
After finishing his meal, he returned to the villa with two stuffed buns.
"I'm going to work, you guys play by yourselves, don't make any noise." Xi Baichen took out a bottle of cola from the fridge, stuffed one bottle in each hand, and sent them to another room.
"I suddenly feel that asking you to keep those two children is a wrong thing." With this man's style of action, it is really possible to keep these two obedient little babies disabled.
Xi Baichen lit a cigarette and lazily smoked on the sofa.
"Since we can't send them away, take good care of them." Mi Li began to plan, "I'll come over every day at mealtime and teach you how to cook."
As long as she adjusts her sleep schedule, she can probably grasp the timing of her time travel, but she cannot control the goals of her possession.
"Teach me how to cook?" Xi Baichen hesitated for a moment and decisively refused, "No need, I'm not interested."
"It's only been half a month, even if you don't care about your stomach, should you consider the health of your children?" Mi Li thinks that meeting in this way is also a kind of fate. Although she has no right to interfere with others' lives, she sincerely hopes that he can live a better life. It would be great if we could take this opportunity to slightly improve his quality of life. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be worse than it is now.
Xi Baichen furrowed his brow, with smoke swirling between his fingers. Whenever he thought of two troublesome little devils at home in the future, his mood was not very good.
"You buy some ingredients today, prepare the kitchen utensils, and we'll start cooking at home tomorrow." Mi Li is looking forward to the upcoming cultivation life.
"If you have a way to cook by yourself, then do it yourself. I don't know how to cook anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tie around his neck tightened abruptly, strangling Xi Baichen's throat, causing him to not take a puff of smoke and instead choke into his nostrils, coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough..." Xi Baichen coughed until tears came out.
"I've already said that smoking is harmful to health, so let's smoke less." Mi Li loosened her tie and said earnestly, "Look, now you know how uncomfortable it is."
Xi Baichen threw the cigarette he had smoked halfway into the ashtray and reached out to hook the knot of his tie, attempting to pull it off. However, the tie was tightly tied and could not be pulled off no matter how hard it was pulled.
"Give up, only I can undo the tie I'm wearing."
Before Mi Li could finish, Xi Baichen took out a pair of scissors from the drawer.
Mi Li: "!!!"
Pushing the scissors against his neck, Xi Baichen said calmly, "Do you want to roll down yourself, or do you want me to cut it off?"
Mi Li hesitated for three seconds, then quickly slid and decisively rolled down.
Xi Baichen put down the scissors, picked up the free fall tie, and played with it between his fingers, feeling inexplicably happy.
After a moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his palm, as if something had slipped through his fingers.
Xi Baichen's eyes narrowed slightly as he called out softly, "Xiaomi?"
The tie fluttered and there was no more sound.
