Chapter 33 - Our son, Snowy
So much time had passed, but Xi Song was nowhere to see. Some people had taken hold of Xingyue and hadn't been able to leave her.
She suffered a lot, still had no power left to stand for herself. On the other hand, Xia Na kept staring at the entrance, waiting to see the only light.
With every moment, her hopes were getting disintegrated. As if there was no end to this dark night.
With those same nasty eyes, Mr. Wang again approached her. "Ms. Li, it's late already. How about we drop you home?"
Gripping on her wrist, he almost took her with him when someone grabbed his hand and pushed him away.
"There is no need for that. I can take her home."
Shifting her gaze, Xia Na immediately stood up. "Xi Song."
Pushing him back like this made him feel ashamed as he shouted. "WHO ARE YOU?"
Xi Song held her purse and took her in his arms. He slightly glanced lower and noticed her red cheeks. "Xingyue?"
"Hmm?" she answered in a drunk voice.
"Who is Snowy's dad?"
"You."
"Who is Snowy's mom?"
"Me."
Lifting his gaze, he glared at him.
And while scoffing, he took her away from there.
"Wait, but who is Snowy?"
............................................
After a short distance, he started walking exhaustedly. While Xingyue was roaming around, totally drunk.
Sometimes she suddenly started dancing, and sometimes she talked to lamplights on the street.
Walking, they saw a couple spending time together.
Wasting no time, she walked towards them, and he followed her.
Grabbing his collar, Xingyue shouted. "How dare you cheat on me, fool?"
Shifting his gazes, he remained shocked when his girlfriend glared at him.
"Who is she, honey? Do you know her?"
Gulping down his saliva, he immediately refused. "No, baby. I don't know her. Who are you, Sister?"
"SiStEr? I'm your wife, Xi Song."
Grabbing his other collar, the girl yelled. "You're married already?"
"No, baby. Trust me, this girl is lying."
Seeing him in this condition, Xi Song grabbed Xingyue from behind and pulled her back. Keeping a hold on her, he bowed to them. "I'm sorry. My wife is drunk today."
"Control your wife. She can break other's relationships."
Bowing once again, he apologized.
He clutched her hand and dragged her away.
..................................
"Yah! Xingyue, don't drink after this. Or else we'll end up in a fight."
He carried her over on his back while she fell asleep. She could feel safe with him.
He made her feel warmer. As if there was a place where she could spend her life peacefully. That place was his arms where she didn't need to worry about anything. Just him by her side could make everything well.
.........................................
The early morning, when the sun's rays fell on her, she slowly opened her eyes. A tiny smile appeared on her face as soon as she saw Xi Song sleeping beside her.
With one hand, she gently touched his eyelashes and admired him.
"I'm lucky to have such a handsome husband."
Pressing her lips, she tried not to make any noise, yet failed.
Tugging on her neck, he sniffed at her smell. "Good morning."
"Good morning, Xi Song. Thank you for last night."
His lips soon curved into a grin as he lifted his face and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Tell me from next time. I'll be there to protect you."
....................................
While sitting in the coffee bar of their office, Xia Na told Tang Xue about the historical scene that happened last night.
"And when that bastard tried to take advantage of Xingyue, Xi Song appeared like a hero from a movie. He pushed him away and saved Xingyue like a hero saved his heroine. Aaigo!"
"And then?"
"Then, he asked Xingyue, “Who is Snowy's dad?” She pointed at him. And referred to herself as Snowy's mom. Aww! Tang Xue, you missed that magical scene."
"Wait, who is Snowy here?"
Frowned, she stared at her back. "Wait! Who is Snowy? Does Xingyue have a son?"
"What are you talking about, Xia Na? How come she has a son so soon?"
"Then... Who is Snowy?"
"A street dog," someone replied from behind, making them flinch at their spots.
With their wide eyes, they turned back, only to see Xingyue standing there with her arms folded around.
"X-xingyue?"
"Good morning, ladies."
She took a seat beside them and made her coffee.
"So, Snowy is a street dog?"
"Hmm. He is now a family member too."
*Flashback*
It was a beautiful evening when Xi Song & Xingyue were on their way back from the supermarket.
"Okay, so the last one. Are cookies there?"
He kept checking inside the bag when his feet stopped on their way. He narrowed his eyebrows, staring at her. "Cookies are missing."
"How come? I remember I bought them."
Just then, their gazes fell on a cute little puppy who seemed to sniff a tiny plastic box.
"There are our cookies."
She sat down, looking at that puppy, and showered him with love. She gently patted his head while he rolled down, making Xingyue giggled.
"Aww! He is so cute."
Squatting down, he grabbed the cookie box and opened it for him.
"There you go, little one."
Both of them were happy to see him eating the whole time.
"Street dogs quickly get affectionate to someone. Because they understand everyone needs someone. They have temporary lives. However, they always kept someone happy."
"They truly deserve much more than God gives them. Xi Song?"
Turning his head, he hummed. "Yes?"
"How about we adopt him? I really want a pet, please."
"Anything for you. But what will you name him?"
She lifted her head and stared at those snowflakes in the sky. A smile spread all over her face as she replied. "Snowy."
*Flashback ends*
"Aww! I would like to meet your son."
"Deal."
...............................................
Holding reports in his hands, Xi Song and Ling Xiao walked in the corridor, discussing last night.
"Hahaha! Really? Xingyue did such a thing to that innocent man?"
"You don't know how scared that guy was? As if Xing literally exposed him. His girlfriend almost punched him because of Xingyue."
"Lmao! I wonder what would happen if she saw you with someone and misunderstood the scene?"
His feet automatically frowned as he glared at him. "Do you want to die? If Xing could do such a horrible thing while being drunk, then what if she was sober? I don't want to die so soon."
