Chapter 364: Chapter 365: The Acting Talent of Xiao Yingying

Song Xiaodong lightly tapped Xiao Yingying’s head and said, "What on earth is this little girl thinking in that head of yours?"

"I just say whatever I think," Xiao Yingying gently twisted her slim waist, naturally causing friction against Song Xiaodong’s chest a couple of times, which was a bit too much for him to handle.

Song Xiaodong, somewhat speechlessly, said, "You’ve really been corrupted by all those messy novels. Have you been reading that ’Fishman II’s book again—the one with the fat guy?"

"Hehe, yes, he’s now writing ’The President’s School Beauty Clings to Me,’ and it’s really good! I want to cling to you just like the heroine in that book," Xiao Yingying playfully blinked at Song Xiaodong.

"Don’t read it. Everything that fat guy writes is no good. If I get the chance, I am definitely going to beat him up for writing such nonsense all the time."

Xiao Yingying spoke coquettishly, "Don’t do that. It’s quite fun to read. If you beat him, he won’t be able to update anymore. Why not just donate him a few hundred thousand so he can update a hundred or eighty Chapters a day and tire himself thin?"

"Pfft... Don’t even think about it. I won’t give him a single cent. That scam artist just makes me angry whenever I think about him."

The door was gently tapped twice, and Song Xiaodong quickly whispered, "Get up, someone is coming."

Xiao Yingying resisted moving, saying, "Let them come. I’m your little lover, I’m not afraid of being seen on you."

"What if Qingqing comes?" Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes.

"Oh, right, she’s your girlfriend. I need to be good in front of her." Xiao Yingying stuck out her tongue and rolled off Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong got up and opened the door; outside stood four beautiful women.

"How are you?" Song Xiaoru immediately asked with concern, her eyes examining Song Xiaodong.

At that moment, Lin Su’er was somewhat blushing. After Song Xiaodong had finished administering acupuncture to Xiao Yingying, he was completely drained and soaked. Lin Su’er had helped him change his clothes when Xiao Yingying was unconscious, but now, Lin Su’er felt somewhat guilty.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "I’m fine, just a bit tired. I’ll be good after a good night’s sleep tonight."

"How is Yingying?" Song Xiaoru asked again.

"She’s awake. Come in," Song Xiaodong let them in.

Xiao Yingying was lying on the bed, her face wearing a sweet smile. She said, "Hello Sister Xiaoru, Sister Qingqing, Sister Xuanxuan, I can’t tell you apart, so I’ll just say hello to you all, and you too, Sister Su’er."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan looked at Xiao Yingying’s smile and her pale face; initially feeling some displeasure, they couldn’t bring themselves to be upset anymore, seeing her as a pitiable girl following Xiao Haiqing’s plan, and thus they could not blame Xiao Yingying.

"Yingying, how are you feeling now?" Song Xiaoru sat by the bed and asked.

Xiao Yingying smiled again and said, "I just feel really weak. Brother Dongzi just said that I’ve been shocked again and my heart condition has worsened. Tonight’s going to be very dangerous. Isn’t that right, Brother Dongzi?"

Song Xiaodong grimaced. Xiao Yingying’s words were half true, half false; the recurrence of her heart condition wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t as serious as she made it sound. Clearly, she was aiming to have him take care of her tonight.

But at this time, he couldn’t possibly speak frankly and could only nod slightly.

Song Xiaoru nodded and said, "Then let Brother Dongzi take care of you tonight, don’t worry."

Xiao Yingying also nodded and said, "I trust Brother Dongzi. If not for him, I would have been burnt to death today." As she spoke, her body shuddered a bit, that unsettled appearance truly made her pitiable.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened; this girl’s acting skills were truly unparalleled. It seemed that letting her pursue a career as a movie star wouldn’t be a mistake.

"Sister Xiaoru, I’m really sorry for troubling you again," Xiao Yingying’s eyes were somewhat red.

"It’s okay, it’s nothing. It’s just staying here for a couple of days," Song Xiaoru quickly responded.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoru." After Xiao Yingying finished, she looked at Miao Qingqing with an apologetic expression, "Sister Qingqing, I’m sorry. I really don’t have the energy now, otherwise I really shouldn’t be sleeping in your and Brother Dongzi’s bed."

Miao Qingqing’s face suddenly turned red, she quickly said, "No, no, this is Dongzi’s room. I’m not sharing a room with him."

Miao Xuanxuan’s face darkened immediately. Miao Qingqing was clearly a very smart person yet when it came to emotions, why was she so obtuse, having so little tact at this moment, not admitting to cohabiting with Song Xiaodong was clearly giving Xiao Yingying a chance.

"Oh, I see. Then I’ll just borrow Brother Dongzi for the night, I hope you won’t overthink it." After finishing, Xiao Yingying gasped twice, looking quite exhausted.

Miao Qingqing quickly said, "No, you’re sick, and he is a doctor. I won’t overthink, okay, you look very tired, we won’t disturb your rest then."

"Yes, thank you all."

Everyone left the room, and Miao Xuanxuan followed beside Miao Qingqing, gently nudged her, and in a voice that was critical like simmering with regret said, "I’m telling you, Miao Qingqing, could there be anyone duller than you?"

"What’s wrong with me?" Miao Qingqing looked at Miao Xuanxuan in confusion.

"What did Old Man Xiao just tell you? You forgot in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yingying was clearly testing you, and also taking the opportunity to cling to Dongzi, yet you just handed Dongzi over so easily. You’re too generous."

"This..." Miao Qingqing also turned a shade darker, feeling that what she had just said was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but she still shook her head and said, "Given Yingying’s condition right now, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to compete with her, wouldn’t that make me seem too petty?"

"Pfft! Matters of the heart are not about being generous; otherwise, sooner or later you’ll push Dongzi away. Hmph, had I known this, I wouldn’t have let..." Suddenly realizing his blunder, Miao Xuanxuan immediately stopped himself.

"What did you say?" Miao Qingqing looked at Miao Xuanxuan, puzzled.

"I meant I shouldn’t have let you be with Dongzi to prevent you from getting hurt later," Miao Xuanxuan was quick to redirect his words smoothly.

Miao Qingqing snorted and said, "Don’t be so lacking in confidence in me. With my capabilities, I don’t believe I can’t handle that guy Dongzi."

Miao Xuanxuan grimaced, no longer wishing to criticize Miao Qingqing, but thinking about how she might help to advance the relationship between Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing.
