Song Yin couldn’t comprehend Song Kai’s intentions. If it wasn’t a serious matter, why would he offer to take care of her?
Conversely, if it was a serious situation, why wouldn’t he allow her to go along?
Suspicion nagged at her, prompting her to retreat to her room and make a phone call. “Find out where Song Kai is heading next.”
She instructed before shifting her attention to money transfers on her phone. Upon glancing at her dwindling balance, she let out a sigh, feeling the weight of recent financial losses.
Unaware that he was under scrutiny, Song Kai hurried back to the villa as fast as he could.
Upon returning, he moved his bedding into Song Fan’s room, declaring, “I’ll sleep on the floor here and keep an eye on you. You can call me conveniently.”
Song Fan couldn’t help but be amused by his persistence. She playfully kicked him and said, “Hurry back to your room and sleep. I’m not used to having people around.”
Song Kai wanted to argue, thinking that staying in Song Fan’s room would prevent others from getting too close to his sister. However, before he could speak, he met his sister’s gaze.
Song Fan’s eyes could be quite intimidating when she was angry, especially to someone who had killed before.
Song Kai wisely chose to remain silent and comply with his sister’s wishes, moving his belongings to another room.
Xu Yuan and the others had initially plotted to create opportunities for Gu Chen and Song Fan to spend time alone, hoping to further their relationship. However, Song Kai’s sudden appearance disrupted their plans.
He seemed to shadow Song Fan’s every move, leaving them with no room to maneuver.
Xu Yuan vented his irritation, muttering, “Since he’s acting like this, we won’t go easy on him.”
He then turned his attention to Song Fan, expressing concern for her well-being. As long as Song Kai was present, they would be too. The rest of the group followed Xu Yuan’s lead, demonstrating their concern for Song Fan and crowding the room.
Song Fan was growing increasingly agitated by their presence, wishing she could kick them out. However, their determination remained unshaken, impervious to her scolding.
“Song Kai, aren’t you supposed to be attending school?” Song Fan inquired.
Song Kai chuckled and rolled his eyes. “I’m a sports student. All I need to do is complete my daily training.”
“But how will you practice if you’re always here?” Song Fan queried, perplexed.
Song Kai raised an eyebrow with a hint of pride. “The PE teacher won’t care. As long as I pass the weekly test, it’s fine.”
His response only fueled Song Fan’s annoyance. “So, you’re skipping classes then.”
“Geniuses are always different,” Song Kai replied proudly, showing no shame.
For the first time in her life, Song Fan felt utterly helpless. She realized that shamelessness could make people nearly invincible.
Yet, this farcical situation didn’t last long because the doctor recommended that Song Fan should recuperate in a quieter environment with fewer people around.
In consideration of his sister’s well-being, Song Kai decided to attend his classes so he wouldn’t disrupt her rest.
Upon seizing this opportunity, Xu Yuan hurriedly ushered Gu Chen into Song Fan’s room and said, “Miss Song is in a delicate state right now. She got injured while trying to save you, so you should keep her company.”
Gu Chen remained mostly silent when he entered the room. He understood that Song Fan preferred solitude and was usually engrossed in work or reading.
Occasionally, he would inquire about her recovery progress. This silent companionship seemed to suit Song Fan, especially after the recent noisy disturbances.
Xu Yuan and the others leaned against the window and peeked through the slightly open door outside the room. However, they noticed that the two individuals rarely communicated with each other.
After leaving the room, they gathered in Xu Yuan’s quarters to discuss their next course of action.
Xu Yuan wore a somber expression as he stated, “We’ve set the stage, but Gu Chen isn’t reacting. They’re not even talking to each other. How do we foster their relationship?”
Xia Rui nodded and suggested, “Perhaps they’re just shy.”
Xiao Lei shook his head. “Both of them are capable of handling firearms. How can they be shy?”
“Why aren’t they saying anything then?” They all contemplated this question deeply.
Ultimately, it was Qi Shuo who broke the silence. “Don’t let your imaginations run wild. Gu Chen can’t be persuaded easily. He came to see Song Fan willingly, or he wouldn’t have come even if we had to drag him. He must have his own reasons.”
“Song Fan is my client, and I believe I know her well. She despises unnecessary trouble. If she didn’t appreciate Gu Chen’s company, she would have left long ago. ”
Upon realizing the truth in Qi Shuo’s words, Xu Yuan sighed in resignation. “I see..”
