CHAPTER 108
"Also, brother Shin help mum prepare an additional dish for our guest," Bai Renxiang said as she noticed that Shane is wearing the mini walkie-talkie ear piece-like thingy.
Ning Xiaozhi looked around in confusion and even tired to peep inside the car to see the brother Shin Bai Renxiang is talking to.
"Where and who is brother Shin? Renxiang have you started talking to ghosts?" Ning Xiaozhi asked Bai Renxiang.
"No silly. That thing Shane is wearing is linked to brother Shin. It is like a walkie-talkie but it is small and looks like an ear piece," Bai Renxiang explained.
"Oohh!!" Ning Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.
After that, they boarded the car and left for Bai Renxiang\'s apartment. It seems that today Jiang Meilin closed the store early as they saw that they saw the closed sign behind the door.
"That there, is my mother\'s grocery store. She wanted to keep herself busy so...there we have it," Bai Renxiang pointed at the store as they walked towards the building where there apartment is located.
The three of them used the elevator to get to the floor if their apartment. After passing by a few rooms, they reached Bai Renxiang\'s and she unlocked the door with the security passcode.
"Mummy!!!" Bai Xiaojin\'s excited voice could be heard immediately they wanted the apartment.
Ning Xiaozhi smiled as she saw the scene of how Bai Xiaojin ran out of from behind s door and into Bai Renxiang\'s open arms.
Bai Renxiang scooped him up and showered her son with lots and lots of kisses and hugged him to her neck as she patted his back.
"Did my love behave well when mummy was away?" She asked as she placed him down to stand on his feet.
"Uh huh. Wait here. I made mummy a glass of milk," he said and hurried back I to the kitchen to get the milk he made a few minutes before his mother came home.
"Your son is so cute and this apartment is giving the homely vibes," Ning Xiaozhi commented as she looked around.
The living was coloured with white and light green paint. There is a plasma tv on the wall and a tv stand below it. A pepper red single sofa with three others was positioned at good angles to see the tv screen and flower vase with fresh flowers at a corner that filled the room with its cool fragrance.
The light bulb shone brightly increase the glow of the room. The living room is neat, bright and cozy. Ning Xiaozhi lived it. Bai Renxiang offered her best friend a seat and also sat beside her.
Just then, Bai Xiaojin came out with the glass of milk but his steps got halted when he saw a strange and unfamiliar woman besides his mummy. His smile died down and he quickly hid behind the door.
He had failed to notice the stranger when he went to hug his mother. So seeing the stranger sitting close to his mother now, like she had just popped out of nowhere caught him off guard and his shy hormones kicked in.
His little actions amused Ning Xiaozhi as well as Bai Renxiang. Bai Renxiang sighed. She knew how her son acted all reserved in front of people he had never seen.
She noticed it when they were at church and when he first got enrolled in his kindergarten school. Bai Xiaojin would hide his face on Bai Renxiang\'s neck if she was carrying at that moment or hug her legs with his face hidden in them if she was not.
So seeing him being all shy did not surprise her instead she sighed in frustration. Looking at Ning Xiaozhi apologetically, Bai Renxiang called out to Bai Xiaojin.
"My love will you not give mummy her milk anymore. I am thirsty, you know?" There was no response.
"Sigh. Xiaojin come on out and say hello to the guest." Still no response.
"Alright that\'s it. Bai Xiaojin come here this instant and say hello," Bai Renxiang\'s stern voice rang out in the room.
It stunned Ning Xiaozhi. So her best friend had the mum attitude? But it stunned her even more when she saw Bai Xiaojin walk out from his hiding spot reluctantly and with his head downwards. She then chuckled silently to avoid making the little boy even more shy.
Bai Xiaojin avoided his mother\'s and the other woman\'s gaze as he gave Bai Renxiang the glass of milk.
She collected it and gulped the whole content in one goal. But as soon as the cup left Bai Xiaojin\'s little hands, she buried his face in Bai Renxiang\'s lap.
Ning Xiaozhi that was watching could not help but erupt in laughter. She could not hold it in for too long. This kid has been cracking her up since she arrived. Anyone who sees this will also laugh.
Bai Renxiang glared at her best friend for laughing at her son. Ning Xiaozhi waved her palm in front of Bai Renxiang as if to say she is sorry before she held her stomach with one hand and her mouth with the other.
"Xiaojin look at mummy. You do not have to be so shy whenever you meet new people my love," she coaxed him to raise his head but the little shy bay was adamant on not even peeking out of her laps for a second.
"Do you want mummy to get mad at you? You are not being polite by not greeting a guest and I did not remember telling you to not greet your elders," she lectured him warmly.
After a few seconds he raised his he\'d and looked up at Bai Renxiang. She patted his head lovingly.
"Go on. Say hi. Mummy promises that she will not bite you."
<<Ning Xiaozhi: Does this kid think I am a lion? How will I ever think of biting such a cute creature of God?>> Ning Xiaozhi mused in her head but still kept a smiling face on the outside.
