Chapter 259: Chapter 260: What’s That Smell on You?

Miao Xuanxuan was very happy. By acting this way, Song Xiaodong was truly showing his intent to solve the problem and genuinely cared for her. She actively wrapped her arms around Song Xiaodong’s neck and planted a kiss on him.

This time, the kiss felt completely different. Yesterday’s kiss might have been stimulated by alcohol or by the situation, but this one was a genuine kiss, completely heartfelt. It was a kiss meant to express emotions, and that was the only way to truly express them.

After a moment, their lips parted, and Miao Xuanxuan’s face was adorned with a sweet smile as she said, "But we still have to agree on something, you can’t tell anyone about us."

"Why?" Song Xiaodong frowned.

"Well, just because we can’t. If Miao Qingqing finds out about us, especially after what happened last night with her, how can we sisters still get along? So let’s just keep it from her and let her be the awkward one alone."

"But doesn’t that feel awkward?"

"You already got the advantage, so what’s awkward about it?" Miao Xuanxuan pinched Song Xiaodong.

"That was an accident," he protested.

"Accident... then what about the movie?" Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a stern look.

Song Xiaodong was instantly at a loss for words, realizing there was nothing he could say to explain that.

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled lightly and said, "I know you didn’t really like me back then, so I don’t blame you."

Song Xiaodong was genuinely touched and said, "Oh... Xuanxuan, you’re really magnanimous, and that makes me like you even more."

"Hmph! Don’t think this will be an excuse for you to flirt with other girls in the future. If I catch you making eyes at another girl, see how I’ll deal with you," Miao Xuanxuan fully stepped into the role of a girlfriend.

Song Xiaodong immediately laughed and said, "No, no, with a girlfriend as wonderful as Xuanxuan, how could I flirt with anyone else?"

"That’s more like it," Miao Xuanxuan finally satisfied, straightened their clothes, particularly checking for any marks around the mouth, before walking out together.

Song Xiaoru happened to be coming downstairs and spotted Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan coming out of a room together. She paused, surprised, and asked, "Xiaodong, Qingqing, what’s this?"

Miao Xuanxuan quickly grabbed Song Xiaoru’s hand and said with a beaming smile, "Sister Xiaoru, it’s me, Xuanxuan. Xiaodong and I came back late from playing last night, so I stayed over at your place."

"But... you two..." Song Xiaoru gestured towards the room they had emerged from.

With a light laugh, Miao Xuanxuan said, "Gee, Xiaoru, you didn’t think we stayed in the same room, did you? No, we just talked together after we woke up this morning; we didn’t stay together."

Song Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You really scared me for a moment. I thought you two were now... haha, but that would have been good too. If you two really started dating, I would totally support it."

Song Xiaodong was about to speak when Miao Xuanxuan immediately glared at him and chuckled, "Sister Xiaoru, not at all, we’re just having fun. I’m not thinking about getting married so soon."

Song Xiaoru actually quite liked Miao Xuanxuan, but she always felt that Miao Xuanxuan’s family background was too good, not on the same level as hers and Song Xiaodong’s, so she favored Lin Su’er more.

"Alright, I’ll go make breakfast, you guys go wash up or something." Song Xiaoru walked a few steps, then turned her head towards Song Xiaodong and said, "Dongzi, you better take a shower and change clothes, you smell kind of odd."

Miao Xuanxuan moved closer to Song Xiaodong and sniffed him, then suddenly spat on him, scolding, "Rascal," and then ran off to the bathroom as well.

Song Xiaodong sweated a bit. The strange smell that Song Xiaoru mentioned must have been because he messed around with Miao Xuanxuan last night and got intimate with Miao Qingqing this morning, which caused his hormones to secrete excessively.

He quickly went upstairs to take a shower, then changed into a clean set of clothes and came down, where Song Xiaoru, Miao Xuanxuan, and Miao Qingqing were already seated at the dining table.

Song Xiaodong walked over and sat next to his sister, laughing, "This morning’s breakfast sure has a lot of people."

Miao Xuanxuan giggled and said, "Do you usually mind having few people? If that’s the case, Qingqing and I can come over to freeload more often."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "Then of course you are most welcome."

Miao Qingqing was silently drinking her milk, not saying a word. She really didn’t know how to face Song Xiaodong now. It was one thing for him to share a bed with her last night after drinking too much—she could forgive that—but what happened this morning was simply indecent.

It had only been a few days, and she had let Song Xiaodong kiss her twice already. This morning, the guy had even held her naked in the same bed, which she found utterly unacceptable.

But at this moment, besides being annoyed, she didn’t really hate Song Xiaodong, especially seeing how he was all smiles. It annoyed her even more that he had taken advantage of her so much, yet he could still remain so calm. Didn’t he feel any guilt at all?

Her foot suddenly touched another foot—Song Xiaodong was still sitting across from her. Without thinking, she stepped on it and then ground her foot down hard a couple of times.

Song Xiaodong felt pain in his foot and instinctively drew his foot back, his gaze shifting to Miao Qingqing. However, Miao Qingqing was looking down as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn’t been the one to do it.

He glanced at Miao Xuanxuan, who was enjoying her fried egg, clearly relishing the moment. And since the two were so sweet together, it definitely couldn’t be Miao Xuanxuan stepping on him. It had to be Miao Qingqing.

No doubt, Miao Qingqing was annoyed about the disadvantage she suffered this morning, so she was taking her revenge. Since he was clearly in the wrong, the best he could do was pretend not to notice and just keep eating.

Miao Qingqing, seeing Song Xiaodong acting as if it was nothing, grew even angrier and reached out with her foot to kick his shin.

Song Xiaodong was somewhat bewildered and looked up at Miao Qingqing, who then glared fiercely at him before lowering her head back to her food.

"What does this mean?" At this point, Song Xiaodong was really confused. Miao Qingqing was up to something under the table, but what on earth did it mean? However, he really didn’t dare react at all, since Miao Xuanxuan was sitting diagonally across from him. If she noticed, wouldn’t that be too awkward? Plus, now that he was interested in Miao Xuanxuan, he naturally felt distant when it came to other women.

The more Song Xiaodong avoided Miao Qingqing, the more annoyed she became. Her foot reached out again, and this time, when she caught Song Xiaodong’s foot, she stepped down hard and refused to let go. Clearly, she was ready to seriously confront Song Xiaodong now.
