Song Xingyao quickly looked at Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, are you alright? I'm so sorry, I caused you to fall. Thank you!"
"It's alright, I'm still in good health, don't worry."
Aunt Zhang was a warm-hearted woman from the north who had been doing business here for a long time. She had always taken good care of Song Xingyao. She had long been disgusted by the way the Song family treated Song Xingyao, treating her like family without any regard for family, and even pretending to be hypocritical to everyone they met.
Song Xingyao didn't want to be stared at like a monkey here, so she looked at Bai Xiujin and said softly, "Thank you for helping me again."
She took out a pen and paper from her bag and left her phone number and name: "I'm sorry for the chaos today. Please contact me at this number if you need anything. I will thank you in person next time."
She even took a step back carefully and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you."
Bai Xiujin held the piece of paper in his hand and saw the woman's slightly limping back. She no longer had the elegant appearance he had last seen her, but her straight back still showed a bit of determination.
After everyone left, Song Qiao didn't say a word to him, and stomped her foot in anger before leaving.
When Old Xu saw his wife limping over, he was shocked: "This... Young Madam, what happened?"
"I'm fine, go back. I ran into a rabid dog and almost got bitten."
...
"Should we take it to the hospital? If it really is a rabid dog, it might need a vaccine."
Old Xu spoke earnestly, which made Song Xingyao laugh.
"No, go back home. There's a first-aid kit at home; you can take care of it."
When Qi Ma saw that Song Xingyao's clothes were all scratched up, she picked up her medicine box and felt very distressed: "Oh dear, what happened? Please sit down."
"How did such a large area get like this? And it's on her leg! Girl, you can't have scars!"
As Aunt Qi dealt with the condition, she kept nagging. Song Xingyao felt a warmth in her heart. An Suqin had never treated her like this before; she only cared about causing problems and never about treating them…
"It's nothing, Aunt Qi, you just fell and bumped your head."
Hearing Song Xingyao say this made her even more distressed. She also had a daughter of her own, whom she had doted on since childhood, only finding peace of mind after she got married. She was always frantic with worry when Song Xingyao fell, bumped into things, or was bullied.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Song Xingyao had never acted coquettishly or displayed any willful emotions.
Qi's mother must have had incredibly cruel parents to raise such a strong girl. Despite the dust and pebbles rubbing against her scraped skin, which stung terribly when treated, she didn't utter a single word of pain despite the large amount of pain from the fall.
Seeing that Qi Ma was about to burst into tears, Song Xingyao reached out to support her and said, "I'm really fine, Qi Ma, please get me a bowl of soup, I'm hungry."
"Okay, go change your clothes first, I'll wash my hands and serve you some."
For the next few days, she didn't go out. Under Qi's mother's care, her leg injury healed quickly. During that time, she received a WeChat friend request.
Hello, Ms. Song, this is the contact information you left for me.
After the request was approved, a message was sent to the chat window shortly afterward.
Is your injury feeling better?
I'm feeling much better. Thank you so much for your help twice. I will definitely thank you in person once I'm fully recovered.
It's nothing, no need to mention it. Miss Song keeps thanking me, which actually puts some pressure on me.
I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Bai Xiujin.
When Song Xingyao received this message, she stared at the three characters "Bai Xiujin" for a long time... Xiaobai seemed to be the same name, but she didn't know what the three characters of Xiaobai were, so she hesitated whether to ask.
After all, no matter how you meet him, his family background couldn't possibly have any connection to the orphanage.
After Bai Xiujin saw that Song Xingyao hadn't replied to the message, he couldn't quite describe his feelings.
The information sent to her by Zhang An on her phone indicated that after meeting Song Xingyao last time, she instructed Zhang An to investigate Song Xingyao based on the information on the note. The information for her biological parents was: Unknown? Tianxin Welfare Home?
Bai Xiujin finally understood the source of that familiar feeling from that figure—it was her. But would she still remember him?
When Bai Xiujin was 8 years old, he was kidnapped. The kidnapper thought that such a young child could not possibly escape from under his nose. So, while the kidnapper was eating, he did not tie him up. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiujin took advantage of the opportunity to escape.
Finally, the director of Tianxin Welfare Home found him on the road and brought him back. He stayed at the welfare home for a week without saying a word, which made the director so anxious that he called the police to say that he had picked up a mute child.
When the police arrived, they discovered that it was the Bai family who had reported their young master kidnapped. They immediately notified the Bai family to come and pick him up.
On the other end of the screen, Song Xingyao still sent a message: 【Do you know about Tianxin Welfare Home?】
After sending the message, Song Xingyao's hands trembled slightly. She hoped to find Xiaobai, but she didn't dare to have too high expectations, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Bai Xiujin sent two words: "Yao Yao." Upon seeing this, Song Xingyao burst into tears. She covered her mouth with her hand in excitement—it really was him!
Song Xingyao didn't reply, and Bai Xiujin became a little anxious, so he made a voice call.
"Yaoyao? You...don't you remember me?"
"No, Xiaobai, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect that we would run into each other here, and you even saved me twice."
A single sentence from Bai Xiujin brought them back to that night when Bai Xiujin arrived at Tianxin Welfare Home, not daring to say a word and extremely wary.
Song Xingyao was always the one isolated by the children in the orphanage. Her dinner was often taken away by the other children, so she often hid some food to eat secretly at night.
She noticed that Bai Xiujin wasn't sleeping at night and assumed he was hungry too, so she offered him half a cookie, but Bai Xiujin refused to take it.
