Song Xing Xing did not know what were the two discussing. But when she opened her door to peek at the situation, the two men were still seating around the dining table. She tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but could not hear a thing.
This was making her grow frustrated.
"Xing Xing, come out here." Song Yi was the first to notice her presence, peeking at the door.
Their gaze met. Song Xing Xing suddenly had a guilty conscience. She came out from her hiding place and forced a smile. "Cousin Brother. Is the talk over?"
"Hmm…" Song Yi nodded. His expression did not give out anything. "That's right. Xing Xing, go and pack your bag. Since you are injured, it's better to live with us. At least there will be someone who can look after you."
At this time, Song Yi suddenly recalled that once upon a time, he was the one who had asked Lu Xun to look after his cousin. Thinking that this could be the reason why the two had started to date, Song Yi let out a sigh.
"Ah?" Song Xing Xing was not expecting this sudden development. "It's fine. I can stay on my own. Cousin Brother, I don't want to disturb you."
"Come back with me. Or else, your sister-in-law will worry," Song Yi said. "Lu Xun already told me that the doctor has given you a few days off. You don't need to go over to the studio anyway."
After considering the pros and cons, Song Xing Xing quickly agreed.
Anyway, she can't let Lu Xun stay at her apartment and look after her. Song Xing Xing was sure that the man still need to head to his office and work.
"But, we will have to drop Mr. Fluffball to that cat hotel," Song Xing Xing said. Although Xiao Jun liked Mr. Fluffball very much, Song Xing Xing was afraid that his fur would get everywhere.
"Let me look after him."
Hearing that Lu Xun had volunteered, Song Xing Xing looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You want to look after Mr. Fluffball?"
"Un." Lu Xun nodded. "It shouldn't be that difficult. Mr. Fluffball likes being around me anyway. Moreover, Auntie Wei can also help to look after him. I promise that I will treat him well."
Mr. Fluffball came over to Lu Xun at this time and started to rub his head on Lu Xun's legs. The way he acted was as if he could not wait to follow this man to go home.
Song Xing Xing quickly agreed. "Alright. I'll put him in his carrier. If there's anything, just tell me, alright?"
After making a few arrangements, Lu Xun finally left with Mr. Fluffball. Meanwhile, Song Xing Xing left with her cousin to stay at his place for a few days.
Seeing that Song Yi was concentrating on his driving and not saying a thing made Song Xing Xing grew anxious. She wanted to ask about his conversation with Lu Xun but was a little scared of this cousin.
"How did you get hurt?" Song Yi asked, breaking the silence between them. He glanced at her ankle and then turned to look at the road again.
"I tripped and sprained my ankle."
There was no way that she would mention Lu Xun's ex-girlfriend's involvement.
Although Song Yi can be a scary person and a little eccentric, he can also be a little protective. In her childhood memories, Song Xing Xing recalled that Song Yi had bullied her to do some menial task for him. However, once he heard that someone had bullied her or any of his younger cousins, Song Yi would protect them well.
"Cousin Brother, you won't tell my parents about Lu Xun, right?"
Song Yi chuckled upon hearing her words. "Are you really dating him?" To his knowledge, Song Xing Xing had never dated anyone before. He thought about their age gap and started to worry whether the two of them would be able to communicate well.
Previously, Song Yi had heard the news that Lu Xun had rejected a few girls who tried to get his attention. Moreover, there were also rumors that Lu Xun despised women. Song Yi did not expect that he would suddenly found out that his cousin was dating this man.
Song Xing Xing lowered her head shyly. "Un. I like him."
Since Lu Xun had admitted to Song Yi that they were dating, it would be useless for her to deny it.
It was just that… It was strange that Song Yi was the first person she tell about her relationship.
Song Yi glanced at his cousin and sighed. "Don't worry. I won't tell them. This is your private matter after all. I won't interfere with it."
Her eyes lit up and Song Xing Xing let out a breath of relief.
"Just remember that if he bullies you, you can come over and find me," Song Yi said. "Lu Xun might have a few powerful friends, but our Song family isn't that bad either."
Once they arrived at Song Yi's house, Han Yue Xiu was surprised to see that Song Xing Xing's bandaged ankle. She recalled that Song Yi's friend had seen Song Xing Xing getting treatment in the hospital and panicked. "What happened to you?"
"Just a sprained ankle." Song Xing Xing forced a smile. "The doctor said it will heal as long as I have enough rest. Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Han Yue Xiu gave her a look over and finally supported Song Xing Xing inside. "Fortunately, I asked your cousin to go over and look at you. Or else, we would not know that you are injured."
Song Xing Xing was sent to rest in the usual guest room she always stayed in. She laid on the bed and took out her phone to text Lu Xun.
His reply came a few seconds later. "I've arrived home. Are you resting well?"
"Of course. Don't worry about me. My sister-in-law is around to look after me. Mr. Fluffball did not cause trouble for you, right?"
"No. We get along well. It seemed that he liked it here."
Song Xing Xing was still typing her message when Lu Xun had sent her another message. This time, it was a picture of him and Mr. Fluffball together.
Her lips curled up as she saw the two of her favorite person in the same frame.
She deleted her reply and came with a new one. "Why does it seem as if you're keeping my cat as a hostage?"
"That's right. I'm keeping Mr. Fluffball as a hostage. Song Xing Xing, if you want your cat back, you better rest and get well soon. Later, you can come over and pick him up."
Song Xing Xing read this message and thought that this person was trying to trick her to come to his place again.
