"Bai Yu, what have you been busy with recently? You've always been out of sight?" Xiao Ao wanted to probe Bai Yu at the dinner table.

"What else can I do? Walk the streets, drink afternoon tea, have a chat with someone. What else can I do? Why do you suddenly care about me?" Bai Yu suddenly became vigilant, because in the past, Xiao Ao had never asked him what he was doing or cared about him.

"Oh, is that so? I was thinking of finding Xiao Yue to come back one day. Let's eat together and get in touch with each other. I don't know where he is, but he can't even find him. This child is too troublesome." Xiao Er ate and pretended to mention Xiao Yue carelessly.

"Yeah, he doesn't even want to stay at home for the next year. It's really harder to meet him than ascending to the heavens. As a stepmother, I don't know how to get along with him." Bai Yu heard Xiao Ao mention Xiao Yue. Although he didn't know what he meant, he wouldn't be wrong to follow him.

'"I don't know what this kid's been up to lately. I don't even know if he's still on Planet Polya," Xiao Ao muttered to himself.

"Are you looking for him? Why do you keep mentioning him lately?" Bai Yu felt that Xiao Ao had been mentioning Xiao Yue. This was not a good signal. Xiao Ao must be planning something.

'"Nothing much. I just remembered. Just tell me. Perhaps I'm old enough to miss my son easily." Xiao Yu still seemed to be calm as he ate and said, but he could feel that Bai Yu was very nervous.

"Now you miss your son? You haven't thought about him for so many years, but now you do? If you think about it, just find someone to bring him over, okay? What are you muttering about here?" Bai Yu was very unhappy. He was clearly thinking about Xiao Yue while Si Zhe was by his side.

Xiao Ao clearly felt that Bai Yu was unhappy. Actually, Bai Yu had always been like this. As long as Xiao Ao mentioned Xiao Yue, he would be unhappy. Therefore, Xiao Ao was no longer surprised.

"I'm not angry. I just don't understand. You haven't cared about him for so many years. Why are you always mentioning him recently? Could it be that you're really old enough to miss your son?" Bai Yu also took the opportunity to throw the question to Xiao Ao, wanting to see how he answered it.

"Probably. Have you heard from him?" Xiao Ao threw out the question he wanted to know the most.

"Me? How would I know? Stop joking around," Bai Yu finally understood that Xiao Ao was trying to test if he knew about Xiao Yue.

"Is that so?" Xiao Xuan looked up at Bai Yu. Seeing Bai Yu hurriedly concealing his appearance, her heart was already at ease.

"You don't even know where your precious son is. How would I know? How could he let my stepmother know what he's doing?" Bai Yu simply pushed it clean. She could not care if Xiao Ao really doubted her.

'"That's right. This brat is so talkative about everything he does. It's not like you don't know even if he doesn't tell me." Xiao Ao didn't want to make the relationship very tense. After all, it wasn't the time to turn hostile with Bai Yu.

"I haven't cared for him for so many years. If I suddenly care about him so much, of course he will run away. Who knows if he is busy because of some girl again?" Bai Yu took the opportunity to tell him the truth.

'"Do you think Xiao Yue is like your precious son? He only knows how to mix with women all day long?" Xiao Ao's face was stiff. Xiao Sizhe had been spoiled by Bai Yu since childhood. Xiao Ao was very unhappy.

"I don't know whose temper it was." Bai Yu said calmly.

Xiao Qian angrily threw down the bowls and chopsticks and left the dining room, returning to her room.

Xiao Ao's life was full of untrue lies and probing each other.

The happy life that Xiao Xuan wanted with her family did not exist. Although he had tried hard to make the family together, he still failed in the end.

Xiao Qian would often regret it now, but she did not know if she regretted marrying Bai Yu or if she regretted alienating her son.

Xiao An was very contradictory. He knew that everything he had today was because he was married to Bai Yu, so he did not want to regret it. However, it was also because of Bai Yu that this situation was created.

Alienating his son was to get Bai Yu's help, so Xiao Ao sometimes felt that it was worth it, but he also hoped that his son would not leave him.

There was no such thing as the best of both worlds. Xiao Ao could only make choices from time to time, and experience the price he had to pay for it from time to time.

After a night of hangover, Xiao Yue gradually woke up and found that he was neither in the barracks nor at home. Xiao Yue, who was still not very clear-headed, did not know where he was.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have fallen asleep for a while, and only after waking up did he feel much more awake.

After getting up, Xiao Yue finally realized that he was at Xing Yang's house. However, he had no impression of how he got to Xing Yang's house.

Xiao Yue felt that after he was drunk, Xiang Wenjie could not bring him back to the barracks, so he asked Xing Yang to bring him home.

"You're finally awake," Xing Yang pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Xiao Yue had already gotten up.

"What time is it now?" Xiao Yue had no idea how long he had been asleep.

"What time is it? It's almost noon now. You really can sleep," Xing Yang stood there with his eyes red.

'"It's almost noon? I have to hurry back to the army," Xiao Yue knew that he had gone too far. "He shouldn't have drunk so much yesterday. It was a mistake to drink."

"Are you going back to the army like this?" Xing Yang's eyes swept across Xiao Yue's casual clothes, "Aren't you afraid that the colonel will scold you?"

No matter what, Xiao Yue had to go back. Xiao Yue also knew that it was not decent for him to go back like this. He helplessly didn't have any other clothes to change.

"Forget it. I've already called Xiang Wenjie. He will bring his military uniform to change for you later. You should rest here first, wake up, and have lunch together." Xing Yang had already thought of this for Xiao Yue. He felt that as long as Xiao Yue's mood was calmer, he could do anything.

Xiao Yue got up and sat on the chair beside the bed, barely smiling at Xing Yang. "Fortunately, you thought of it. Thank you so much."

"Wash up first. I'll wait for you in the living room." Seeing Xiao Yue forced out a smile, Xing Yang felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He turned around and left.

Xiao Yue took care of himself while thinking about what happened yesterday.

He had never drunk so much wine, but yesterday, he couldn't help but drink cup after cup for some reason. He wanted to vent his dissatisfaction or resentment. Xiao Yue himself wasn't sure, maybe he had both.

Xiao Yue realized that he was no longer like him after returning from Capital Star. The calm, arrogant and rational Xiao Yue in the past could not even be found.

Right now, Xiao Yue only had pain and regret left in his heart. However, Xiao Yue did not want others to know about this pain.

Xiao Yue felt that this was his own pain. He did not need others' sympathy or understanding, nor did he need other people's comfort. As long as he endured it, he would be fine. The choices he made must be borne by himself.
