Chapter 904 - 905: Tacit Understanding
Song Xiaodong had been through so much, yet he could still sense the panic and shame in Zhong Chuling’s heart. He gently held her hand and then gave it a light squeeze.
Zhong Chuling froze for a moment, and her heart suddenly calmed down. As it turned out, the older man didn’t think poorly of her; he didn’t see her as a bad kid.
But she could still feel Song Xiaodong’s physical reaction, and she really didn’t know what to do about it.
Song Xiaodong leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Don’t overthink it—perfectly natural response. Don’t let it weigh on you."
Zhong Chuling’s face grew even redder, but she nodded, feeling even more at ease.
Fortunately, the car had already reached the hospital by then, and Lin Shu exhaled deeply and said, "Finally arrived safely."
Song Xiaodong immediately chuckled. "Not bad, not bad. A few more times like this, and you’ll be able to drive on your own."
"I drove this time, didn’t I? You hardly gave me any instructions later on," Lin Shu said proudly, raising her chin and pushing open the car door.
"You guys go ahead. I’ll park the car properly. You’re taking up two parking spaces; it’ll be hard for others to park."
Lin Shu stuck out her tongue and said, "I haven’t practiced parking much."
After the two got out of the car, Song Xiaodong quickly closed the car door, shifted into the driver’s seat, and adjusted the parking position. What should have taken only a few seconds dragged on for almost a minute before he finally parked and got out of the car.
Lin Shu teased him, "Hey, Uncle! Your skills aren’t that great either, huh?"
