Chapter 1195 Not even afraid of blood
Everyone inside the house was laughing, but it was Ruan Shi who spotted Shu Yu outside and exclaimed, "A Yu is back!"
Shu Yu walked quickly forward, and everyone except her younger brother, who was still studying at school, surrounded her.
Ah Ning hugged Shu Yu's waist, holding up a jade pendant in her hand, "Second sister, second sister, Master gave this to me, Ah Ning has a master now."
"Yes, A-Ning will study hard by Master's side from now on." Shu Yu patted her head and smiled.
The Lu family was overjoyed to see Shu Yu return. Even though they had already heard a lot about what was happening in the capital from Zhao Xi, they still surrounded her and asked her all sorts of questions.
The old lady noticed that it was getting late and waved everyone away, saying, "Alright, it's already noon. Ayu rushed back in such a hurry that she probably hasn't eaten yet. Don't block the way here, go and eat."
Everyone else had already eaten. They thought Shuyu might stay at the estate for a while and wouldn't be back until at least noon. Unexpectedly, she arrived just after noon. It was obvious that she had set off without having lunch.
Shu Yu and the others were then escorted to the flower hall.
Ah Ning lingered by Shu Yu's side for a while before the old lady finally pulled her away.
Then, she saw Xiao Song Le.
The little girl stared at him with her round eyes and asked cautiously, "Little Lele?"
Shu Yu noticed with her sharp eyes that Xiao Song Le had started hiding behind her again, keeping her head down and not even looking at A Ning.
Shu Yu is now certain that Xiao Song Le is not afraid of adults arguing or fighting, but she is afraid of children.
She recalled the child's original living environment. The Hong family's children were all a bit older than Xiao Songle, and because of the influence of Aunt Hong's daughter-in-law, they were not friendly to Xiao Songle.
If they had hurt Xiao Songle in the past, then his fear when facing children would not be surprising.
Sometimes, the younger the child, the more direct and unscrupulous their malice, and the greater the harm they cause.
On the contrary, because Aunt Hong was there, even if her daughter-in-law disliked Xiao Songle, she wouldn't actually hit her. At most, she would just curse and refuse to feed her; her real target was Aunt Hong.
As for Aunt Hong, needless to say, she was an even more revered figure in Xiao Songle's heart, protecting him.
The two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, often quarreled, which seemed commonplace to Xiao Songle.
Therefore, he was not afraid, and even watched with great interest when he saw Aunt Zhou and Li arguing.
After all, he had been traveling with them all this way and hadn't seen such a scene in a long time; he might even miss it.
Thinking of this, Shu Yu felt it was necessary to discuss with Dr. Zhao later whether it was possible that Xiao Song's reluctance to speak was related to his fear of children.
But when A Ning saw that Xiao Song Le was avoiding her, she felt a little sad.
She tugged at Shu Yu's sleeve and asked softly, "Second Sister, does Xiao Lele not like me?"
"No, he's just in an unfamiliar place and he's feeling uneasy."
Ah Ning suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I understand him so well now. I used to be like that too, wanting to hide myself when I saw strangers. But I'm not afraid now, I'm not even afraid of blood."
Extremely brave.
That's exactly what Master praised her for.
Shu Yu nodded repeatedly. A Ning wanted to say something, but the old lady grabbed her by the collar and took her away.
"Don't disturb your second sister's meal."
