Chapter 376: Chapter 377: Sent the Boyfriend Away

"Hey, brother-in-law, can you make it or not? Hurry up and go," Miao Xuanxuan urged Song Xiaodong with a triumphant smile on her face.

At that moment, Song Xiaodong really wanted to pin Miao Xuanxuan down on the bed and spank her. This girl wouldn’t date him, but when it came to teasing people, she was quite adept at it.

Song Xiaodong gritted his teeth with irritation, but at that moment, all he could say was, "I can’t get up, okay? If I do, then you all won’t have dinner."

"What’s wrong?" Song Xiaoru looked at Song Xiaodong, puzzled.

"If I get up, I won’t be able to hold in this fart," Song Xiaodong said with a forced smile.

"That’s disgusting!"

"How annoying!"

All four women instantly spat at Song Xiaodong, and Miao Qingqing immediately stood up, saying, "I’ll go myself; you just keep it in then."

Song Xiaodong chuckled dryly, finally managing to get past the situation.

Miao Xuanxuan said with a beaming smile, "Brother-in-law, that fart of yours couldn’t have come at a better time."

Song Xiaodong glared at Miao Xuanxuan and said, "Alright, Xuanxuan, you mock me like that, you better not give me the chance, or see how I’ll deal with you."

"Come on, then, I’m not afraid of you. If you dare to bully me, I’ll have my sister take care of you," Miao Xuanxuan said cockily, waving her little fists at Song Xiaodong.

Everyone was laughing and joking, and Song Xiaodong managed not to stand up and embarrass himself.

Although Miao Xuanxuan liked to mess around, she didn’t dare to do so again. If people really saw Song Xiaodong in that embarrassing state, they would start to wonder why he was like that, and her, sitting across from Song Xiaodong, would become a suspect too.

After dinner, Song Xiaodong administered acupuncture to Xiao Yingying. This time Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan followed out of curiosity; they really wanted to see how Song Xiaodong performed life-saving acupuncture on someone.

"You’re all here?" Song Xiaodong was a bit overwhelmed.

"Yes? Is there something you shouldn’t be doing in front of people?" Miao Qingqing asked.

Xiao Yingying chuckled softly, "I need to take off my clothes. I have to have needles inserted near my heart, naturally, I can’t be wearing anything on the upper body."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan felt a bit awkward at that moment. Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "Taking off your top, huh? Brother-in-law, you sure are getting a nice deal there, no wonder Yingying insists on being your little mistress."

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes at Miao Xuanxuan and replied, "This is a serious matter of medical treatment. When treating someone, I am a doctor, and Yingying is a patient, there is no consideration of gender right now."

It was the first time Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing had heard Song Xiaodong speak in such a serious tone. Miao Xuanxuan cracked a smile and said, "I was just speaking off the cuff."

Song Xiaodong continued, "You may think Yingying looks fine, but in truth, her heart is very fragile. If I’m not by her side and she gets any bit too stimulated, it could cause an excessive load on her heart, potentially fatal. When puncturing the heart area with needles, there can’t be any mistakes. You two can watch while I treat her, but you must absolutely not make a noise and disturb me."

At this point, both Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing dropped their playful attitudes and nodded solemnly.

Song Xiaodong finally nodded at Xiao Yingying. Xiao Yingying, as the patient, seemed much calmer at this time. She promptly took off her upper garment and lay flat on the bed.

As Song Xiaodong stood beside the bed, looking down at a half-naked woman lying there, both Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan felt the situation was quite odd. However, seeing Song Xiaodong’s solemn expression, they felt their own thoughts were somewhat impure.

Song Xiaodong took several deep breaths and then began inserting the needles into Xiao Yingying.

Watching those long silver needles piercing into Xiao Yingying’s chest, Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing couldn’t help but marvel in shock. The situation was a bit frightening and any titillating feeling was immediately dispelled.

Both of them hardly dared to breathe, fixated on the silver needles in Xiao Yingying’s chest, unconsciously covering their own chests with their hands. If those needles had been inserted into their chests, they wouldn’t have been able to remain as composed as Xiao Yingying.

After a good twenty minutes, Song Xiaodong finished with the needles and sat down wearily by the bed, taking a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Only then did Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing finally breathe a sigh of relief. During the twenty minutes, they seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

"This is just too frightening, such long needles. Yingying, aren’t you scared?" Miao Xuanxuan asked with concern as she looked at Xiao Yingying.

Looking down at the needle marks on her chest, Xiao Yingying smiled and said, "I’m not scared, this is necessary to cure my illness."

Miao Qingqing hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Xiaodong, could you cover Yingying with a blanket?"

"Of course," Song Xiaodong nodded.

Miao Qingqing pulled the blanket over Xiao Yingying, and her hostility towards Xiao Yingying suddenly lessened a lot. This was a girl struggling on the edge of life and death, which perhaps made her pursuit of love all the more straightforward.

"Yingying, it seems like you must have suffered a lot these years," Miao Qingqing said with sympathy.

With a sweet smile, Xiao Yingying replied, "It’s been okay. Before, I couldn’t laugh, cry, get angry, or get excited. I had to be as placid as a nun every single day. Ever since Brother Dongzi started treating me, I have had fewer restrictions and I’m already much happier."

Having witnessed a medical treatment firsthand, Miao Qingqing suddenly understood what Xiao Haiqing meant. A girl like Xiao Yingying could truly survive only by Song Xiaodong’s side.

And Xiao Yingying’s optimism and fortitude was something they had never considered before, which made them respect her quietly in their hearts. Putting themselves in her shoes, they realized that if they faced such a situation, they probably couldn’t be as open-minded as Xiao Yingying.

"Xiaodong, how are you?" Miao Qingqing, seeing the exhausted state of Song Xiaodong, asked with concern.

"I’m okay, just need to rest a bit," Song Xiaodong forced a smile.

"Then you should rest now. Xuanxuan, let’s go out," Miao Qingqing grabbed Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan followed Miao Qingqing out of the room. Watching Miao Qingqing close the door, she frowned and said, "I mean, Qingqing, you’re just going to leave your boyfriend alone in a room with another woman?"

Miao Qingqing was taken aback. She had acted on instinct but was now realizing that it might indeed have been inappropriate. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Yingying is so sick, and Xiaodong is so tired, they surely won’t do anything inappropriate. Why should we overthink it?"

Miao Xuanxuan glared at Miao Qingqing and said, "You’re really open-minded, huh? Keep this up and you’ll end up driving your boyfriend away sooner or later."
