Xiao Linghan, who was standing by, saw his eighth brother turn around and follow that woman Song Li out like a fool, and he felt quite disappointed, "Second brother, how could you... um..."

Before Xiao Linghan could finish his words, someone covered his mouth from behind.

Xiao Moqing covered someone's mouth and said, "Speak less, Eighth Brother is not a child anymore, he can make his own decisions!"

"Mmmmm..." Xiao Linghan's mouth was covered by his second brother's hand until he saw Lao Ba and Song Li leave the yard, and then the hand that was covering his mouth was released.

"Ahem..." Xiao Linghan couldn't help but cough a few times as the restraints on his mouth loosened. He said angrily, "Second brother, I've been with Eighth Brother longer than all of you. That idiot Eighth Brother isn't a scheming person to begin with, but he almost gave up his heart to that woman, Song Li. I felt from the beginning that Song Li wasn't a good person. Even if she and my sister came from the same place, so what? What she did was essentially no different from the real Song Li. Knowing what kind of person she is, why did you push Eighth Brother towards that woman?"

"I didn't push Eighth Brother towards anyone. You also know that Eighth Brother likes her. If you blindly stop it, it will only backfire. If Song Li really had no feelings for Eighth Brother, she wouldn't have come today."

Xiao Moqing spoke word by word, "She didn't have to do this. She'd read the entire story and knew clearly that according to the original trajectory, she was originally on the same team as the male protagonist, Shen. Even if Shen Junze's body was taken over by destiny, so what? The male protagonist is always "Shen Junze". Who cares who is inside him? This will not affect her becoming a member of the male protagonist's harem in the future. But she still came today. Why did she come? What is the reason? I believe we all know in our hearts."

After hearing what his second brother said, Xiao Linghan was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Moqing patted Xiao Linghan on the shoulder and continued, "Since she's here, it means her heart is with us and she hopes we win. I know you're worried about Eighth Brother, but Eighth Brother is grown up now. There are some things he can make his own decisions about, and he also hopes we can let him make his own decisions. Sister, is what Second Brother said right?"

Xiao Moqing looked at the little kid standing beside him, looking like a spectator eating onlookers.

Wanwan nodded slightly, "Second brother, today you look the most like a brother that I have ever seen you look!"

Xiao Moqing: "..."

Little brat, are you praising him? Or are you praising him?

Wanwan: "And you too, Seventh Brother. Eighth Brother has grown up and doesn't need you to protect him all the time. Besides, haven't you noticed recently that Eighth Brother doesn't stutter as much as before?"

stammer?

After listening to Wanwan's words, the two brothers discovered that Lao Ba had indeed stopped stuttering recently.

Xiao Linghan said, "It seems that Lao Ba has indeed stopped stuttering recently and speaks like a normal person."

"No wonder I've felt that Lao Ba is a little strange recently, but I can't put my finger on why. It turns out he's not stuttering anymore." Xiao Moqing asked, "Sister, did you do something to Lao Ba?"

"Hehe." Wanwan smiled, "I just gave the starling a pill."

[I bought this with Xuanqi's luck points. It's called a Little White Pill. After taking it, Bage stopped stuttering and slowly became a normal person. Yeah!]

Forest path.

Song Li was walking on the way back, Xiao Lingzhou followed behind her. The two kept a distance from each other and no one spoke.

The two walked for a while, one in front and one behind. Song Li stopped first and said, "You don't have to follow me. I know the way back!"

Xiao Lingzhou stopped and said, "You took the wrong path yesterday."

He followed her all the way yesterday and watched her take the wrong turn at a fork in the road.

"I was hurt yesterday...wait." Song Li turned to look at him and asked, "How did you know I took the wrong road yesterday? You...you followed me yesterday?"

Song Li thought about how she was so sad yesterday that she cried almost all the way to the end. Her tears blurred her eyes and caused her to take the wrong turns at several intersections.

Not only that, she was squatting on the ground yesterday, crying while drinking the pot of medicinal soup.

She cried so ugly at that time, and he saw it all?!

Facing the woman's questioning, Xiao Lingzhou pursed his lips and said, "I didn't follow you. I just wanted to send you home safely."

"That's also stalking!" Song Li's face flushed with anger, and she said with some embarrassment, "Don't follow me!"

Song Li felt ashamed to face people, so she turned around and tried to run. However, because she was too nervous, she didn't pay attention to the stone under her feet and fell flat on her face.

"ah--"

With a scream, she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingzhou hurried over, watched Song Li fall to the ground, and covered his ankle with his hand.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Lingzhou's eyes fell on her feet.

Song Li's face showed some pain, and she covered her painful ankle, "I think... I twisted it."

Xiao Lingzhou quickly lifted up her trouser legs and his eyes fell on her slightly red and swollen ankles.

The next second, he bent down and picked her up sideways.

"Ah - what are you doing?" Song Li didn't expect him to do this. She was so scared that she subconsciously reached out to hug his neck.

"Take you to see a doctor." Xiao Lingzhou said.

"Doctor?" Song Li struggled and said, "Put me down first!"

"No! You need to see a doctor now!" Xiao Lingzhou said in a very firm tone.

Seeing that he refused to let her go, Song Li subconsciously pulled his ear and said, "You idiot, I am a doctor. By the time you find a doctor, my foot would have healed long ago!"

The woman's hand grabbed his ear, and the slight pain made Xiao Lingzhou stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until his gaze turned towards her and Song Li's eyes fell on the hand that was pulling his ear that she realized what she had just done. She was so scared that she quickly let go of her hand, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "You... put me down first."

"Yeah." Xiao Lingzhou responded and followed her instructions to put her on a stone where people could sit.

Song Li lowered her eyes, touched her slightly sprained ankle with both hands, and said, "It's just a little twisted."

After she finished speaking, the next second Xiao Lingzhou heard a cracking sound from her ankle.

"Okay." Song Li said.

"Is it okay now?" Xiao Lingzhou was a little unconvinced and subconsciously reached out to hold her ankle and take a look.

Seeing that her ankle could move freely, he finally believed that she was really healed.

Originally, he just wanted to see if her ankle was okay, so he held her ankle. Now, when he realized what he had done, he realized that his behavior seemed to have crossed the line.

Noticing her gaze on him, he quickly let go of her hand and said with an unnatural expression, "I'm sorry."
