Chapter 422: Chapter 423 Try Your Kung Fu
Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, "If we are both wrong about this matter, and the medallion came into our hands just by a stroke of fate, then wouldnât you be at a loss?"
Feng Kexinâs face revealed two shallow dimples, her smile growing even sweeter as she said, "That wouldnât be a loss at all, at least then there would be someone in this world who cares about me."
Song Xiaodong asked, "Donât you have any other relatives? Iâm talking about your foster parents."
Feng Kexin sighed lightly and said, "Well, I did have an uncle and an aunt, but when my parents told me that I was not their biological child, they overheard and began claiming that since I wasnât their biological daughter, they should divide the inheritance, which made things very unpleasant, and now we hardly see each other anymore."
Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "Even if you are an adopted daughter, under normal circumstances, you should be eligible to inherit your parentsâ estate, right?"
"Anyway, they used some maneuvers, and in the end, the court awarded most of the assets to them. But it doesnât matter to me, I donât need that much money. As long as I have enough for my own life, thatâs enough. Besides, I can always make my own money in the future. Furthermore, they are my fatherâs siblings, so why should I argue with them over it?"
Song Xiaodong praised, "You really are open-minded."
"Itâs alright, I donât have much of a choice, after all, they are my parentsâ family. Why should I bother getting angry with them? But now they are always worried that I will come back to claim the inheritance, so they keep their distance. I guess I donât really have any relatives left."
Song Xiaodong said with empathy, "I can understand how you feel, at least I still have a sister whoâs been with me through thick and thin. You are all alone, seemingly more unfortunate than me."
"You have a sister? That really makes me envious. You must be very close with your sister, right?"
"Why would you say that?"
"You said it yourself, you rely on each other for survival. Such sharing of hardships canât be compared with anything else. Plus, when you mention your sister, thereâs such tenderness in your eyes, and your tone slows down, which further indicates how important your sister is to you."
Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, "I hadnât noticed that myself. Your observational skills are quite impressive."
"Then you wouldnât mind acknowledging me as your sister, right?" Feng Kexin chuckled lightly.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Fair enough. Then, Iâll consider you to be my long-lost cousin."
"Cousin!" Feng Kexin immediately beamed with a sweet smile. The first call seemed a bit awkward, but after a couple more tries, it came out quite naturally.
Song Xiaodong, with a smile, said, "Now that I suddenly have a cousin, I should give you a present, right?"
"I donât want a gift, just care about me a little in the future, treat me as your real sister."
Song Xiaodong laughed lightly and said, "Of course, thatâs not a problem. But you really are bold, allowing a big guy like me to come to your house when you are alone."
Feng Kexin immediately raised her little fist with pride and said, "Cousin, Iâve been practicing Karate and Taekwondo since I was young. I can take on three men by myself."
"That impressive?" Song Xiaodong looked at Feng Kexin with astonishment.
Feng Kexin appeared even more proud as she said, "Of course, would I dare to be so bold if I didnât have the ability to defend myself?"
Song Xiaodong shook his head seriously and said, "Since you acknowledge me as your cousin, Iâll tell you that itâs still too dangerous to do that. Donât think that the little Karate and Taekwondo youâve learned will be useful. When you really face danger, those skills might not be of any help at all."
"Ah, are you looking down on me?" Feng Kexin was not convinced and said, "Should we put it to the test then?"
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, "Alright."
He stood up in the middle of the living room and said, "Attack me now, however, you like. If you can make me move even a step, you win."
"That exaggerated?" Feng Kexinâs eyes widened as she looked at Song Xiaodong.
"Give it a try and youâll know," Song Xiaodong said, his hands hanging casually by his sides.
"Then here I come for real." Feng Kexin was dressed in casual clothes, which surely allowed her to move freely. She adjusted her hands in front of her chest, took a beginnerâs stance with one foot in front of the other, bounced lightly on her feet then threw a punch straight at Song Xiaodongâs face.
Song Xiaodong slightly tilted his head, easily dodging Feng Kexinâs fist, "Donât worry, you wonât hurt me, just show me what youâve got."
Having missed with her fist, Feng Kexin started to believe in Song Xiaodongâs abilities. She struck again, faster than before, her fist making a whooshing sound as it aimed for Song Xiaodongâs body.
Song Xiaodong raised his right hand, effortlessly blocked, and redirected her attacks. His movements didnât seem fast, but they effectively intercepted Feng Kexinâs fists every time, displaying the effortless grace of a true master.
"Wow, cousin, you really are amazing. Now Iâm going to use my feet; I donât believe I canât hit you or make you take a step back." Feng Kexin got a bit stubborn as she limbered up her legs before leaping towards Song Xiaodongâs waist.
Song Xiaodong swung his right hand, easily blocking her shin, and her kick was as ineffective as before.
"Ah!" Feng Kexin let out a cry, her right leg raised up high, her foot lifted above her head, as she executed a beautiful downward chopping motion aimed at Song Xiaodongâs head.
If she didnât have years of practice, she wouldnât have been able to perform such a move. Song Xiaodong also praised, "Nice!" but still, as he raised his hand, he had already caught Feng Kexinâs ankle.
Feng Kexin had used all her strength in that move, only to have Song Xiaodong casually catch it with one hand. A feeling of defeat welled up inside her; with her leg still raised, she stared at Song Xiaodong in shock, forgetting to put it down.
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Convinced yet?"
"Unconvinced!" Feng Kexin drew back her leg, and Song Xiaodong let go of her ankle accordingly.
Feng Kexin eyed Song Xiaodong, took two steps back, and let out another yell. With a bit of a run-up and two meters away from Song Xiaodong, she suddenly leapt into the air, her feet aiming for Song Xiaodongâs neck, executing a beautiful Deadly Scissor Kick.
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened, the move was a bit too aggressive. If he didnât step back and simply caught her feet, Feng Kexin might get hurt from the fall. It indeed gave him a bit of a headache.
