"Ah!"
Song Song looked up in surprise, her eyes vibrant and lively, but imdiately lowered her head upon eting the man’s stern face.
Mustering great courage, her voice soft and tender, she spoke, "...Uncle Xiao."
Actually, before the marriage, she had called him this way the few tis they t. Back then, she called him without any second thought—it ca out easily.
Now, she feels...
It feels a bit strange calling him that.
Could he really be seeing her as his niece?
The girl’s curled eyelashes cast a shadow, perfectly matching with a few strands of her bangs, making her appear soft and delicate, tugging at Xiao Jinghuai’s heart.
He said, "It’s good, just keep calling that."
Song Song was stunned for three seconds, her small hands supporting the seat trembling slightly. Oh no, he really sees her as a junior, but that’s okay... calling him Uncle Xiao seems a bit more, sowhat closer.
Always calling Mr. Xiao makes it feel like he’s miles away from her.
"Oh, okay..."
"Is your mother hospitalized?" Xiao Jinghuai raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes!" Song Song’s thoughts were simple, and she didn’t think much of it, "She’s been in for over a month now..."
Xiao Jinghuai’s lips curved, "Let’s find so ti and visit the hospital together."
"Ah!"
Oh shoot!
Song Song’s heart started thumping again, and she quickly said, "No, no need. Uncle... Uncle Xiao, you’re so busy, really no need. Besides, my mom will be discharged soon, probably in about a week!"
Thinking about the week ahead was already giving her a headache. What would she do by then?
Gosh! The situation seems to be getting more serious, and she was feeling a bit overwheld.
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile appearing on his handso face, "Then we’ll visit after your mother is discharged."
"Oh, okay..."
"What were you chatting so happily about with Jiang Yixiu at the hospital just now?"
Song Song internally panicked, why did he have to ask this too?
"Nothing much, just chatting casually..."
"Chatting casually and you’re so happy?"
"Well..."
"No..."
For a mont, Song Song didn’t know how to respond. It seed wrong whether she said "yes" or "no."
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly beca very unhappy, his expression so stern it was chilling, "So is it a yes or a no?"
Startled, Song Song pursed her lips, her small eyes full of innocence, and when Xiao Jinghuai looked over, her expression was exactly like Xiao Beibei’s.
"No crying!"
"I, I didn’t intend to cry..."
"If you didn’t intend to cry, why are you pursing your lips?"
"..."
Song Song imdiately lowered her head, inexplicably feeling wronged in her heart. Does he always have to talk to her like this?
She wasn’t a child...
After all, she was a teacher too.
She hadn’t intended to cry, but now she kind of wanted to.
Song Song, you definitely can’t fall for him, if you really do, you’re dood. You’ll be bullied to death by him, so don’t fall in love, don’t fall for him.
"What are you thinking about not speaking?"
Song Song wiped away the tears on her face, "Thinking about how to write the assignnt? I’ve only written 5000 words, and there are still 10000 words to go!"
Since she was a child, she had been a good student in the eyes of teachers and had never been scolded, let alone having to write an assignnt.
Now, she had to be cautious every minute not to get punished by having to write one...
Xiao Jinghuai almost couldn’t help but laugh, "Want to write a little less?"
"I do!"
Excitedly raising her head, her red, tear-stained eyes, yet those dark eyes were unbelievably bright...
