Su Lin curled her lower lip, and she said in a rough tone, “Don’t ask me. I don’t know either”
With that said, she faced away, looking as though she didn’t want to see Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t continue to probe. She was reminded of something else, and she said awkwardly, “I called Su Uncle and Su Auntie, but they weren’t in China, so they couldn’t come. But they have sent the butler.”
Su Lin’s head hung down, looking slightly dejected. She suddenly laid down and pulled up the blanket to cover herself, and she said gloomily, “I know.”
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her side and said to Su Lin, “It’s late. We’ll go back now and come see you again tomorrow.”
“Go then,” Su Lin said coldly.
Han Qiqing, who had been quietly standing at one side, then said, “Su Lin, have a good rest.”
Then, the group left the ward.
After a certain distance, Song Shijun couldn’t help but marvel and said, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that it actually happened! Su Lin actually saved Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao, aren’t you two enemies? Could it be that you have developed a bond with her after squabbling with her all this time?”
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin, looking serious in analysis as she said, “Actually, when we used to interact with Su Lin, we didn’t think that she was such a bad person. But for some reason, Su Lin and Xiaoxiao just couldn’t seem to get along. They would start quarreling the moment they come into contact. Perhaps it is their birth charts that are incompatible?”
Then, Han Qiqing and Song Shijun both turned to look at Yin Shaojie at the same time.
They were both thinking the same thing.
Perhaps Yin Shaojie was the biggest reason why Su Lin and Mu Xiaoxiao weren’t getting along.
Su Lin liked Yin Shaojie, but Yin Shaojie was closest and most intimate toward Xiaoxiao. It was only natural that Su Lin would feel enmity toward Xiaoxiao.
Han Qiqing recalled that in the four years when Xiaoxiao wasn’t around and Su Lin was hanging out with them, she was not a bad person. She wouldn’t be quarreling with them. During their birthdays, she would even take the initiative to prepare gifts for them.
Perhaps if it wasn’t because of Xiaoxiao, Han Qiqing wouldn’t even be hating on Su Lin.
Song Shijun mimicked Qiqing, rubbing his chin and ruminating as he said, “Did Su Lin push Xiaoxiao on instinct, or was it because she actually cared for Xiaoxiao?”
Han Qiqing recalled the scene that she saw at the time and analyzed, saying, “At that time… I remember that Su Lin was standing further inside. Given how far she was, it was impossible for her to run out in time. Was it because of this that she chose to help Xiaoxiao? Since she wouldn’t be able to escape anyways.”
Song Shijun shook his fingers and disagreed, saying, “It was such a desperate situation. How could she have time to consider so much? It was probably an instinctive reaction.”
Han Qiqing stared at him. “So what you are saying, that Su Lin is still a kind person?”
Song Shijun spread his hands open and said very impartially, “I don’t think she has done anything wrong except quarrel with Xiaoxiao, right?”
“Seems like it. Su Lin is only against Xiaoxiao.”
“Sigh. When love rivals meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. It’s only normal.”
Mu Xiaoxiao kept silent as she listened to the two talking.
Yin Shaojie held her hand. Without saying anything, he only wrapped his big hand over her little hand, warming her hand with the heat from his.
