CHAPTER 143
Bai Renxiang sighed in relief as the elevator opened. She and Shane walked out together and went straight to their apartment. Bai Renxiang stepped quietly into the apartment to see Bai Xiaojin writing on a piece of paper with all seriousness and Shin was looking at him.
Shin being very sensitive, raised his head to see Bai Renxiang had arrived. Bai Renxiang placed a finger on her lips indicating that he should not make a sound to distract the little one. Shin nodded in understanding and pretended as if she had not arrived at her.
Then she took off her shoes and tip toed to Bai Xiaojin's back. He was writing numbers. She smiled and tickled him from behind. The unexpected attack caused Bai Xiaojin's fingers to slip, drawing a long line to almost the middle of the paper.
"Hahaha. Mummy...stop... Hahaha uncle Shin help me," he laughed and struggled to get out of her tickling.
"Mummy please hahaha!"
After much plea, Bai Renxiang finally obliged and the tickling stopped. Bai Xiaojin panted from lack of air as he spread out his legs and hands on the floor like a star fish. Bai Renxiang chuckled.
"How is my little baby doing huh?" She asked as she sat closed to him.
"I am doing great," he replied. "I like my new school," he added.
"Really? Why do you like it?"
"They have so many books on the shelf in my class. The teacher, Ms Yue, is really nice like teacher Ann. The playground has lots of fun things to play with like the seesaws, the monkey climbing thing, the slides and swings and lots more," he listed.
"That is cool," Bai Renxiang commented as she caressed his hair.
"Uh huh. Very cool. Oh, they also taught me how to add up and subtract numbers. Big numbers and to also multiply numbers. It was so fun. My classmates were nicer than the stupid kids in Little Stars. And then the lunch that grandma made was so delicious." He finally stopped.
"Wow! You really enjoyed your day. That is great. It is good to hear you being all chirpy about school," she said.
"Honey you are finally back," Jiang Meilin said.
"Good evening mum. Where are you coming from?" She stood up to embrace her mother.
"I just went to give some food to your aunt Yi. She asked of you and Minsheng says hi," she relayed the messages from the next apartment.
"Oh okay. How is the store going? Did you get your supplies today?" She asked.
"Everything is as spectacular as usual. And yes, I did get my supplies. You just arrived? Quickly go and have a bath and come out for dinner," she pushed Bai Renxiang to her room.
"Shin go and call Shane for dinner," Jiang Meilin shouted from inside the house. Instead of going to his own apartment to call Shane, Shin called his phone.
"Come quickly or no dinner for you," was all he said before he ended the call.
Bai Xiaojin chuckled at his brief call. Shin just smiled and headed to the kitchen to start setting the table.
"You know that you disobeyed grandma, right?" Bai Xiaojin asked as he took the plates from Shin's hand and went to place them on the table.
"She said to call and that is what I did," came Shin's smart response of defense.
"True.Can I also get a cell phone?" He asked cutely.
"Why do you need a cell phone? You are a kid."
"So that I can call you when grandma asks me to do so. Nobody likes to be stressed out," he gave a simple reason. Shin turned to look at him for sometime before continuing with what he was doing.
"You can ask your mum about it then."

Meanwhile, Ye Chaoxiang had been thinking about the waitress that spilled hot tea on him. He did not know why his mind could not stop playing the scene from that day over and over again.
He had decided to take a walk to anywhere this evening as the weather was cool. To him, it would help in forgetting about the waitress. But it does not seem to work.
"Dude you have to stop thinking about her," he said.
"But why should I? She is not that bad. She is pretty, has good manners from the way she apologized that time. And not to forget, she has a good figure, voice and eyes," he continued.
"Ha! Forget it. Just focus on enjoying your stroll Ye Chaoxiang."
While he was walking on an almost lonely street, he saw a scene of a lady being disturbed by four guys. It seemed as if they were making her feel uncomfortable.
"Come on now. Come and have fun with us," one guys said as he threw his hands over her shoulders. The lady stood up from the bench and attempted to leave when the three other guys blocked her path.
"Where are you going huh? Do as he says and have fun with us. Don't you want to chill with the big boys?" They surrounded her.
"Let go of me. I do not want to chill with any of you. So step aside," her firm voice rang out from their midst.
"Oh so bold. Just be good and come with us. We will just play a little game," another guy said.
"Yeah. You are going enjoy yourself and so will we. It is a win-win situation," the first man said and held her arm.
"I said let me go," she yanked her hand away from him.
"Feisty now are we? We were being nice earlier. Do not blame us if we change from our friendly ways now," he warned.
"Grab her," He gave his signal and two of them held her before she could make a move and run away. She struggled to move but their grip only tightened more. There was no escaping their tight clutches.
"You can't run now sweetheart. It is time to have fun."
