Chapter 19

Listening to her soft words, a corner of Pei Hanying’s heart caved in.

She rubbed Ning Song’s hair. “Then stay.”

“Ning Song, will you listen to me from now on?”

She stared at the little villain and asked the final question.

Through her blurred, tear-filled eyes, Ning Song saw Pei Hanying’s face clearly. She nodded hard.

“I’ll listen to everything Yingying says.”

As she spoke, she hugged Pei Hanying all at once again.

“Yingying.” After calling Pei Hanying’s name once, the sense of security in her heart seemed to grow a little.

Her originally crumbling emotions slowly began to recover, and even the trembling of her shoulders gradually became smaller.

Pei Hanying lowered her head and looked at the little villain buried against her chest. The mood that had been tangled for many days finally became clear in an instant.

In the end, after going around in circles and struggling for so long, the answer she [unauthorized copy]wanted was still this one.

She wanted to help Ning Song. What was more…

Pei Hanying thought, the little villain was very obedient.

Obedient and cute to an unreasonable degree. Anyone who saw her would soften their heart.

She hugged Ning Song back. Only when her palm touched Ning Song’s damp hair did she belatedly remember her purpose just now.

Releasing the hand on Ning Song’s back, Pei Hanying said, “Go back under the blanket first. Your body is still so cold.”

Ning Song lifted her eyes and looked at her with reddened eye sockets.

Perhaps the things Pei Hanying had said today had given her courage, because she actually dared to ask the question she had never been able to ask before.

She asked, “Are you leaving again?”

Hearing her words, Pei Hanying froze slightly.

Then, after reacting, she felt somewhat helpless.

“Where can I go? Am I supposed to give my room to you?”

Ning Song’s fingers curled. She said softly, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before she could finish the rest of her words, Pei Hanying interrupted her.

“You what? Hurry up and get under the blanket properly. I’m going to get the hair dryer and dry your hair.”

After hearing this, Ning Song stared at Pei Hanying blankly, then obediently crawled back under the blanket.

So Pei Hanying did not hate her and was not leaving.

She was going to get the hair dryer to dry her hair.

How could Yingying be so good?

Ning Song thought this as she watched Pei Hanying’s figure gradually disappear from her sight.

There were not many electrical appliances in Pei Hanying’s room. All dangerous items had been separately put away by someone under Pei Yuan’s orders, so she could not easily come into contact with them.

She searched carefully before finally finding a hair dryer and quickly carried it back to the room.

After having Ning Song put on a coat and ​unauthorized copy​sit properly on a stool, Pei Hanying stood behind her and dried her hair.

The hair dryer whirred as it ran, warm air pouring over the top of Ning Song’s head.

Ning Song looked at the reflection in the mirror in front of her. The little princess with long hair was drying her hair, and for a moment, her heart went dazed.

Everything that had just happened felt like a dream to her.

Even the way Pei Hanying was drying her hair now made her feel overwhelmed by favor.

She blinked. After coming back to herself, she said softly, “Yingying, I can dry it myself.”

Beneath the faint mechanical noise, Pei Hanying still caught Ning Song’s delicate words.

Her hands did not stop moving as she continued drying Ning Song’s short hair.

“Your arm will get sore later.”

It had been a while since Pei Hanying had dried her own hair, and naturally, she had never dried someone else’s hair either.

Her movements right now were somewhat unpracticed. Fortunately, her arms were steady, and drying hair did not require much technique.

After hearing Pei Hanying’s words, the corners of Ning Song’s lips curved slightly. Her [read the original at bailiantales.com]long lashes lowered, hiding the light in her eyes.

Yingying was really so good.

So good it was unbelievable.

Pei Hanying naturally did not know that the little villain was currently praising her to the skies in her heart.

After reaching out and feeling that the ends of Ning Song’s hair were dry, she turned off the hair dryer and, while she was at it, rubbed Ning Song’s hair.

“All right. Hurry up and lie down on the bed.”

She found a dry pillow. After watching the little villain get onto the bed, she put the hair dryer away and climbed onto the bed from the other side.

Now that she had already decided to let Ning Song stay, Pei Hanying naturally did not need to avoid suspicion with her anymore.

She actually did not have the habit of hugging things while sleeping, but every time she had hugged Ning Song these past few days, she had slept well.

Ning Song was soft all over. She was just too thin, so she felt a little bony to hold. It would be better to fatten her up a little later.

Thinking this, Pei Hanying pulled her into her arms, pressed close to her hands and feet, smelled the scent on her body, and closed her eyes.

It was not early anymore. After fussing around for half the night, she had long been sleepy.

At this moment, even her voice carried drowsiness as she said lowly, “All right, sleep.”

In the darkness, Ning Song’s eyes also slowly closed.

In truth, she was a little unable to sleep.

Even now, the little girl’s mind was still hazy.

It did not feel real at all.

Was she really going to keep living in the Pei family together with Pei Hanying?

Were the things that happened tonight really not a dream?

Actually, if it was a dream, Ning Song already felt very satisfied.

She instinctively buried herself deeper into Pei Hanying’s arms, showing a somewhat dependent posture.

The breathing beside her ear gradually became soft and gentle. Pei Hanying seemed to have fallen asleep.

Ning Song’s eyes, which had originally closed, [stolen content]opened again. In the darkness, she moved a little closer to Pei Hanying’s face.

She said in a very small voice, “Yingying.”

Pei Hanying did not lift her eyelids and could not be bothered to respond to her.

Why was this little brat talking so much at night instead of sleeping?

Thinking this, more than ten seconds later, soft lips suddenly pressed against her cheek.

Very quickly, the other girl’s lips moved away from her face.

Ning Song knew that there were many ways to express liking someone, and kissing was one of them.

She could not say too many words to actively express gratitude and fondness, so she really wanted to kiss Pei Hanying.

After kissing her, today’s events seemed to gain a little more sense of reality. She closed her eyes, found a comfortable spot in Pei Hanying’s arms, gently rubbed her cheek against her, and then peacefully fell asleep.

Pei Hanying was left behind, inexplicably attacked by her once again.

She opened her eyes and vaguely saw the outline of the person in her arms. In the end, she took a deep breath.

This little villain!

How had she learned to take advantage of people at such a young age?

So bad!

After grumbling and cursing in her heart for a while, Pei Hanying finally tired herself out and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Ning Song still had not woken.

Pei Hanying reached out and touched her forehead. Sure enough, it was burning hot.

She had already thought yesterday that this might happen and had prepared herself mentally in advance, so today, Pei Hanying did not panic much.

Ning Song’s body was already weak to begin with, yet she had deliberately insisted on tormenting herself. It would have been strange if her condition had not worsened.

She furrowed her brows, dressed herself, and got up, asking Xia Ting to call the family doctor over again.

At this moment, Pei Yuan was making a phone call in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Pei Hanying walked over and waited for her to finish.

Seeing her daughter come over, Pei Yuan stroked her little head. In a few brief sentences, she finished arranging things, then hung up the phone.

Bending down to pick Pei Hanying up, Pei Yuan kissed her cheek.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

Pei Hanying looked at her and spoke seriously.

“Mommy, I want Ning Song to stay in our family.”

“I like her very much.” Only now did she tell the truth.

Pei Yuan’s eyes curved.

“As long as our Yingbao likes her, then it’s fine. Have you truly decided? Can you take responsibility for Xiao Song’s life?”

Pei Hanying patted her chest and said, “I’ve decided, Mommy.”

“I’ll definitely discipline her properly!”

She used the word discipline because she wanted to make sure the little villain would not walk the old path from the original plot again.

If Ning Song felt warmth and love in this life, surely she would not turn dark, right?
