Chapter 397: My Big Boy
Song Song genuinely felt that this man was toxic, and it was the kind of lethal toxicity, like arsenic...She was determined not to help him to the bathroom just now, but ended up being coaxed in by a few words from him.
"Can you manage on your own? I’ll wait for you outside."
This was actually a polite inquiry from Song Song, and without waiting for the man to answer, she immediately slipped outside and closed the door, starting to breathe heavily with anxiety.
She thought, thank goodness she didn’t have to help him take a bath.
Xiao Jinghuai knew she was shy and stopped teasing her. After finishing, he called her back in to help him out...
Seeing her blushing face, he couldn’t resist wanting to tease her, saying seriously, "Later, I’d like to take a bath; you’ll help me."
Song Song: "..."
Sister! Is he purposely trying to make her nose bleed profusely?
He really wanted her to help him bathe...
"Can I refuse?"
"I’m afraid not."
Later, Song Song had no idea how she ended up helping Xiao Jinghuai with the bath, only knowing it was an intense scene...
After clearly seeing his physique, she really almost had a nosebleed. If he hadn’t stopped it, she really would have...
Oh! There’s still two more weeks of these days; it’s sheer torture for her.
Luckily, not long after the bath, he fell into a deep sleep.
Song Song gazed at his sleeping face, looking more and more like a child. She couldn’t resist leaning down and pecking his lips.
"Sleep well, my big boy."
"..."
As Song Song left the ward to go to the convenience store for some daily supplies, she suddenly encountered Qiao Yu, who had just left not long ago.
Though she wore a smile, it made Song Song a little uncomfortable to look at.
Qiao Yu glanced at the ward and said with a smile, "Looks like Brother Jinghuai is asleep. Now that he’s asleep, you should have time to sit with me at the café, right?"
Song Song frowned slightly, "Is there something you need?"
"Can’t we go to the café just because there’s nothing? Song Song, before your memory loss, we had a good relationship. Why does it feel like you’re always on guard against me now?"
In fact, Song Song wasn’t intentionally guarded against her. She simply didn’t know how to interact with her, feeling like they had a lot of differing views.
She said they used to have a good relationship?
She really was a bit doubtful about that.
"Alright, but we can’t talk for long."
Qiao Yu smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I’m in a hurry to get back too! If I go back late, Grandpa Xiao will be unhappy. You wouldn’t know he’s like an old child now, always wanting me to talk to him; sometimes he feels so clingy."
Song Song smiled politely, "That’s because Grandpa Xiao likes you and thinks you’re a suitable choice for a daughter-in-law."
Not like her, probably disapproving of everything about her now!
"Yes, he’s really nice to me now, like his own granddaughter. Song Song, actually, I’m here to talk to you about you and Brother Jinghuai. It’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s discuss it at the café!"
Song Song felt a bit puzzled, not knowing what she wanted to say, "...Oh, okay."
...
After arriving at a café near the hospital, they each ordered a cup of coffee.
Song Song slowly stirred her coffee, taking in the indulgent bitter aroma with a hint of sweetness if savored carefully.
It was just like Xiao Jinghuai to her; he might not be the best lover by nature, but he’d always appear at crucial moments.
Seeing her smiling happily, Qiao Yu felt particularly uncomfortable inside and deliberately said, "Song Song, you should know that a marriage not blessed by the elders won’t last long, right?"
