Chapter 95: The Heart

Chapter 95

Granny Song brought two maids from the old house. They were good cooks and made nourishing dishes for her granddaughter, who was injured.

Song JinXing's family had never hired a maid except for the hourly housekeeper who came to clean every week. Even though Granny Song had asked him to find a maid to take care of him many times, Song JinXing had rejected it.

Now seeing his refrigerator full and the plants and flowers looking great, Granny Song finally felt relieved that he was living well.

Song Shuling had stayed at her brother's house for three days. Her head had recovered and she could bounce around normally again. So she prepared to go back to work. Although working as a doll performer was tiring, it brought her a lot of joy and confidence.

Even though she knew the tourists queuing to take photos with her just wanted the cat doll, she could feel their affection was real when they expressed love to the doll. These colorful and unfamiliar affections compensated for her hurt childhood in another way, and also healed her soul.

So as soon as she recovered, she couldn't wait to go back to work.

But before going back, she had to have a meal with her brother and Bai Yinyue.

Zhou Ruanxing had called Bai Yinyue the night before and made an appointment for the next day at noon. As the host this time, they got to decide on the restaurant. Song Shuling looked around carefully for a long time before choosing a trendy restaurant favored by elite young ladies.

The restaurant was on the top floor and known as a sky dining hall. Reservations were usually required a week in advance, but Song Shuling was a VIP there. As soon as she gave her name, the restaurant immediately arranged a table for them.

Zhou Ruanxing felt that she had broadened her horizons a lot hanging out with these young ladies from prestigious families.

With her previous salary, she definitely couldn't have afforded eating here.

As a distinguished VIP, Song Shuling even had a reserved table just for her that others couldn't sit at if she needed it.

The window seat had a sweeping view of floating clouds outside the polished floor-to-ceiling windows. Eating here felt like dining among the clouds.

Though it wasn't very friendly to people afraid of heights.

As Zhou Ruanxing followed Song Shuling in, she could feel gazes subtly falling on her from all around.

Tsk, Song JinXing's attracting face really made him the center of attention wherever he went.

Bai Yinyue soon appeared as well. To meet her crush, she had evidently dressed up carefully―wearing light makeup for a clear, natural look, an off-shoulder pastel green dress that bared her fair neck and collarbones, looking like a elegant, noble swan.

When Song Shuling saw her, she immediately praised, "Sister Bai, you look very beautiful today."

Bai Yinyue smiled, "Thank you, Shuling. You look beautiful too. Mr. Song, you and your sister both have outstanding looks."

Zhou Ruanxing spoke in a voice audible to everyone around, "It's too cold in here. Wear the jacket so you don't catch cold."

Bai Yinyue clutched the suit jacket with trembling hands. She forced a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Song."

Zhou Ruanxing said softly, "Wait in the bathroom for a bit. I'll have Shuling come over."

Bai Yinyue gazed at her dumbly until her eyes turned faintly red. Then she nodded, "Alright."

After she left wearing the suit jacket, Zhou Ruanxing went back to her seat and whispered something to Song Shuling. Song Shuling looked surprised but quickly got up and headed out.

Soon, she had bought sanitary pads and a new dress and went into the bathroom.

"Sister Bai, are you there?"

A humming sound came from the innermost stall, "I'm here."

Song Shuling went over with the bag, "Sister Bai, I bought you sanitary pads and a dress. Go change."

Bai Yinyue sniffled, "Thank you, Shuling."

Song Shuling passed the bag through the open gap. Then she thought for a moment and still said, "Sister Bai, this is normal. Don't feel too awkward about it. My brother was the one who told me to buy these things. He won't think too much of it."

There was no reply from inside, just the sounds of changing clothes.

Soon, Bai Yinyue came out in the new dress. Song Shuling saw her red-rimmed eyes and realized she must have cried. She looked at Bai Yinyue worriedly.

But Bai Yinyue just smiled and patted her head, "I've changed. Let's go back and finish our meal."

Song Shuling relaxed and asked her again, "Sister Bai, is your period irregular? Why were you totally unprepared?"

Bai Yinyue sighed, "Yes, it came a week early this time and caught me off guard."

She glanced down at the suit jacket draped on her arm. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as complex feelings of being touched, happy, and embarrassed welled up in her heart.

When they returned to the table, she saw that her cold drink had been replaced with hot water.

Were there really men in the world so thoughtful and gentle? Holding the hot cup, Bai Yinyue felt her heart beating a little faster.
