Chapter 166: I’ll Stay Too
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Kai’s words were indeed reasonable. After all, Song Fan was a young lady, and it wasn’t quite appropriate for her to stay in a man’s house.
However, in their eyes, Song Fan wasn’t just an ordinary young woman; she was a formidable warrior who had faced battles on many fronts.
During the time they had spent apart from Song Fan, they had meticulously asked Gu Chen about every aspect of the battle over the phone. They now knew the entire sequence of events and held endless admiration for Song Fan in their hearts.
Consequently, they somewhat overlooked the fact that Song Fan was only 19 years old and wholeheartedly urged her to stay.
Upon feeling awkward, Qi Shuo stood up and said, “It’s true that we didn’t consider this properly. However, all of us stay here, and we won’t allow anything to happen to Miss Song.”
Song Kai couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking that with these people around, it might actually be more dangerous.
He stepped forward and stood protectively in front of Song Fan, and gazed at the men squarely.
Song Fan reached out and tugged at his sleeve. “I’ll stay here for my recovery, but you don’t need to worry about me. Even if they were all tied up, they still couldn’t beat me.”
While what she said was true, Song Kai remained concerned. “You’re already injured. What if they decide to take advantage of you?”
Xu Yuan couldn’t tolerate this any longer. “What do you mean by ‘taking advantage’? Who do you think we are?”
Knowing Xu Yuan’s short temper, Xiao Lei swiftly intervened and asked Qi Shuo, the most eloquent among them, to speak to Song Kai.
Qi Shuo adopted the air he displayed in court and asserted, “We all come from esteemed families and share some connections with the head of the Song
Family. We would never engage in such behavior.”
Only after Qi Shuo stated this did Song Kai reluctantly accept his reassurances. After all, these individuals weren’t foolish; mistreating Song Fan would provoke the ire of the Song Family.
Nonetheless, Song Kai remained in an awkward stance by the bedside, deep in thought.
Song Fan pulled him down and affectionately ruffled his hair. “Don’t overthink it. We’re great friends, and they’ll take good care of me.”
Song Kai, who had been assertive a moment ago, suddenly felt wrong. His eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Song Fan, acting as if he was about to cry. “They’re your friends, but I’m your brother.”
Upon seeing him in this state, Song Fan burst into laughter. She hadn’t expected Song Kai to be capable of acting so endearingly.
After observing Song Kai’s reaction, Qi Shuo smiled, recognizing that the situation was diffused. “Now that we’re all on the same side, why don’t you stay for dinner?”
Song Kai stood up and replied, “I’ll have dinner, but first, I need to return home and pack my things.”
Song Fan inquired curiously, “Why are you packing?”
Song Kai wore a smile as he declared, “Of course, I’m moving in to take care of you.”
The unexpected announcement left everyone wide-eyed. Xu Yuan swiftly nudged Qi Shuo, signaling the need for a plan.
If Song Kai moved in, it would be challenging to create opportunities for Gu Chen and Song Fan. The biological brother’s presence would hinder any progress in their relationship.
However, Qi Shuo found himself at a loss for words. It was only natural for the brother to move in and take care of his sister. Any objection might be misconstrued as having ulterior motives.
Gu Chen nodded in agreement and proposed, “I’ll have Su Yang prepare a room.
Miss Song will surely feel more comfortable with her family around.”
Song Kai admired Gu Chen’s gentlemanly demeanor and responded with gratitude. Then, he reminded Song Fan, “I’ll only be gone for a while. Take care of yourself.”
Song Fan impatiently urged him to leave. “I know. You should go back quickly.” Since he was staying at someone else’s residence. he didn’t want to bring too many personal items. Song Kai hurriedly went back to the Song Family to pack his belongings and clothing. As he was about to leave with a large bag on his back, he unexpectedly ran into Song Yin.
Song Yin asked in surprise, “Fourth Brother, where are you going?”
Song Kai honestly explained, “I’m going to look after Song Fan.”
Although Song Yin was in a foul mood, she maintained a polite smile. “I heard that Sister is on sick leave, so I wanted to visit her. But I have a lot of homework and have just finished. How about I go with Fourth Brother now?”
However, Song Kai couldn’t agree to this. He thought about Song Fan’s current situation and couldn’t allow her to go with him. If word got out that Song Fan was staying at Gu Chen’s house, it would undoubtedly fuel rumors. There had already been unfounded gossip about them, so they couldn’t afford any more speculations.
Song Kai replied vaguely, “It’s not a severe illness. You don’t need to go. Just stay home.”
With that, he swiftly departed, leaving Song Yin deep in thought and standing alone..
