Chapter 14 Five-Element Heart-Protecting Needles
As they came out, they saw an angelic sprite of a girl standing in the courtyard. Wasn’t she the girl Song Xiaodong had saved last night?
"Ah! It really is you. I’m so glad I’ve finally found you." Xiao Yingying stepped forward, excitement sparkling in her eyes, but her tone remained quite calm.
Song Xiaoru looked at Xiao Yingying with a hint of nervousness and said, "Miss, what is this about..." She was worried that her younger brother might have caused some trouble again. Over the past few years, she couldn’t count the number of times she had to shield Song Xiaodong from trouble. Every time someone came knocking, it was always the most headache-inducing moment for her.
Xiao Yingying hurriedly explained, "I am here to thank Mr. Song. Last night, Mr. Song saved my life."
Song Xiaoru, surprised, looked at Xiao Yingying and said, "Miss, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"
"There’s no mistake, I remember it very clearly. It was him," Xiao Yingying pointed at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders at Song Xiaoru and said, "Sister, can’t you stop looking at me with old prejudices? I am now a young man with four good qualities."
Song Xiaoru’s mood brightened at once and she quickly said, "Then please come inside."
Xiao Yingying beckoned, and two bodyguards entered from the courtyard gate, their hands still full of many items. They were the same people who had seen Song Xiaodong last night. They all respectfully bowed to Song Xiaodong and said in unison, "Thank you, Mr. Song, for saving our young lady last night."
Song Xiaoru hurriedly responded, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Everyone, please come in and take a seat."
The two bodyguards only delivered the gifts before withdrawing, while Xiao Yingying walked inside.
Song Xiaoru felt a little embarrassed at this point and said, "Miss, I’m really sorry, our home’s conditions are modest and we don’t even have a proper place for you to sit."
