Chapter 641: Chapter 642: There are still people who believe in me

"Dongzi, I’m really sorry for you," Song Xiaoru sobbed after a while, lifting her head and choking out a sentence.

Seeing Song Xiaoru’s pitiful appearance with her tears streaming down like rain on pear blossoms, Song Xiaodong felt an indescribable heartache. A sense of hatred also naturally surged within him, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Sister, how can you be blamed for this? It’s all the doing of the Su and Sun families; it’s they who caused you such harm. I definitely won’t let them get away with this."

Song Xiaoru’s eyes reddened as she said, "Dongzi, let’s not fight with them anymore, we can’t beat them."

Song Xiaodong took a deep breath and said, "Yes! I did overestimate myself before and underestimated them, but this will only happen once. I will make myself stronger and have enough strength to confront them. Sister, don’t worry, I won’t be that reckless again. Because of me, you’ve already been hurt twice; I won’t let there be a third time."

Song Xiaoru hugged Song Xiaodong tightly and whispered, "Dongzi, I just want you to be safe and sound, nothing else matters."

"Mhm!" Song Xiaodong grunted in response, but his eyes flashed with a wolf-like cold light.

At that moment Song Xiaodong’s phone rang; it was Lin Su’er. When Song Xiaodong answered, Lin Su’er immediately asked, "Brother Dongzi, how are you now?"

"I’m fine," Song Xiaodong answered indifferently.

"Brother Dongzi, I... believe in you!" Lin Su’er slowly expressed her sentiment.

A smile appeared at the corner of Song Xiaodong’s mouth, and he said, "Mhm, don’t contact me for now, I’ll find you later."

"I..."

"Be obedient, don’t make me worry."

"This... alright, Brother Dongzi, stay strong, I will always support you."

As soon as Lin Su’er hung up, Shen Yue’s call came in, urgently asking, "Big Brother Song, what on earth happened?"

"I was harmed by someone," Song Xiaodong replied indifferently.

"Who harmed you, that’s just despicable! Brother Dongzi, I believe it’s not your fault, I will always support you!"

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Mhm, thank you. You take good care of your mother, I’m alright."

After Shen Yue, Li Sijie’s call came through. She was more cautious in her words, fearing Miao Qingqing and the others might be there, but she still clearly expressed her trust in Song Xiaodong.

The phone rang once again; it was an unfamiliar number. Song Xiaodong had just answered when a woman’s voice came through from the other side, "Is this Mr. Song Xiaodong? I’m a reporter from Little Bean Net. Can I ask you and..."

Song Xiaodong immediately hung up the call and then switched off his phone. This was just the first call, and there would certainly be many more similar ones to follow. He didn’t want to make any explanations.

Song Xiaoru’s phone also began to ring at that time; Song Xiaodong took it and shut it down directly.

Song Xiaodong said, "Sister, let’s not think about anything today and just stay at home quietly. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a peaceful day together."

Song Xiaoru hummed softly and snuggled on Song Xiaodong’s shoulder without saying a word.

Before long, there was a knock on the door. Song Xiaodong didn’t want to respond initially but still went over to open the door. It was Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Gang, these two guys. Their gaze towards Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru was obviously a bit strange.

"I was picked up, not born into this," Song Xiaodong said indifferently.

"Oh, in that case, no problem." The two guys immediately relaxed.

Song Xiaodong added, "Today, I want my sister to stay at home peacefully, so we won’t be hosting you."

"Sure, we’ll take our leave then. If you need anything, just call us." The two were straightforward and left promptly.

Song Xiaodong came back and sat down beside Song Xiaoru, flashing a slight smile, "You see, just now several people called me, all of whom believe in me. It’s during a crisis when you find out who your true friends are, like Qingqing, Xuanxuan, and Yingying. It shows their genuine fondness for me that they stood by me through this."

Song Xiaoru turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong, her eyes reddening again, "But now they’re not by your side."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, "This is just temporary. Plus, haven’t you noticed? This is also a good opportunity. Qingqing and Sister Xuanxuan are standing together; maybe in the future, I can have them both by my side instead of being forced to choose one of them."

Song Xiaoru playfully hit Song Xiaodong, "You bad guy, to have such thoughts at a time like this."

The two were silent for a while when Song Xiaodong’s stomach growled twice. Song Xiaoru exclaimed, "Ah, you’re hungry, I’ll go make some food for you immediately."

After saying that, she stood up but let out a low cry as she took a step.

"Sis!" Song Xiaodong quickly supported Song Xiaoru, "You should rest. I must have been rough yesterday, and then you came down the mountain by yourself without proper rest. Does it hurt a lot?"

Song Xiaoru’s face turned red, and she chided, "I’m fine, really. I’ll catch my breath and then go cook for you."

"No, no, you rest first, I’ll cook." Song Xiaodong pressed down on Song Xiaoru’s shoulder and then went straight into the kitchen.

Soon, Song Xiaodong cooked up two bowls of noodles and opened a few side dishes they had in the house, then came over and said, "Sis, I’ll carry you over."

"Ah, no need, I can walk," Song Xiaoru was somewhat flustered.

"No way, you have to rest properly today." Saying this, Song Xiaodong lifted Song Xiaoru up, his arms feeling somewhat strained.

This made Song Xiaodong’s heart sink; he was really hurt this time, to feel strained just from lifting someone.

However, he didn’t let it show and carried Song Xiaoru over to the dining table, then they started eating together.

Song Xiaoru clearly wasn’t tasting her food, but Song Xiaodong wolfed down his, as if the recent events hadn’t affected him at all.

After the meal, Song Xiaodong carried Song Xiaoru back to the bedroom and then opened his own computer. There were some things he had to arrange. Even if he was shunned by everyone, there were a few brothers who believed in him no matter what. He didn’t need to say much; he could just have them start investigating.

His inbox was stuffed with emails, mostly from strangers, and a few familiar ones.

The first one he saw was from Zhong Chuling. The young girl expressed her concern for Song Xiaodong and also conveyed her trust in him.

The next was from the young girl Lin Shu, who sent just a single image of a big pervert, along with a line, "It doesn’t feel good to be tricked, does it?"

This was somewhat surprising to Song Xiaodong. The girl had always had an opinion of him, but it was rare for her to say something like this at such a time.

As for the rest, Song Xiaodong didn’t want to look anymore. If some people didn’t care about him, he didn’t care about them either.
