Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Little Wolf Rou Rou (2)_1 Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Little Wolf Rou Rou (2)_1 âXiu Xi, here, have some.â Ruan Jiaojiao became interested and stuffed the bowl in Xiu Xiâs hand before squatting down to pet the little wolf.
âAw awâŠâ The little thing lifted its tender pink nose and snuggled into the palm of her hand, whimpering pitifully.
âItâs really chubby.â Ruan Jiaojiao laughed, poking its little body to see it stagger backwards several steps, her giggles ringing out as she looked up at Xiu Xi, âXiu Xi brother, are you going to sell it?â
âIâll give it to you,â replied Xiu Xi as he ate his popsicle. After finishing, something occurred to him and he said with a stern little face, âBut youâre not allowed to like it.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
He wants to give it away but doesnât want her to like it.
Whatâs the point of giving her something he doesnât want her to like?
Ruan Jiaojiao didnât care; she really liked the little thing, especially its soft fur, which was her favorite. In her previous life, she had very thick hair because she ate well, and it was especially glossy. She had seen cats a few times in this world, but none were as good-looking as in her past life.
Moreover, the cats in this world clearly hadnât awakened their intelligence and couldnât converse with her, so after a few attempts, she lost interest.
But this little wolf had unexpectedly caught her fancy.
She cradled the little wolf in her arms and cooed to the Ruanlin Family, âGrandma, can Jiaojiao keep it?â
Nowadays, few people kept pets. She had only ever seen a black dog at the entrance of her village at the Li Familyâs house; she hadnât seen any others, probably because people begrudged them their food. After all, keeping one meant providing for it for over a decade, and right now, everyone could barely manage their own subsistence, let alone spare food for pets.
âIf you like it, then keep it,â said Ruanlinâs matriarch. She didnât mind the bit of food, and besides, she had previously considered getting a dog to guard the house and protect the courtyard once they moved into the new building. That would be nice.
âHmm! Then this is Jiaojiaoâs Little Wolf,â said Ruan Jiaojiao happily as she got up with the wolf in her arms, heading to the front yard. She mumbled to herself about what name to give it, completely forgetting the presence of a certain individual.
ââŠâ Xiu Xi. The forgotten individual, his little handsome face darkening, had already chased after her.
The Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch watched the two youngsters with indulgence, shaking her head, then turned to the ewe and lamb nearby, joking, âLooks like youâve fallen out of favor.â In the past days, Ruan Jiaojiaoâs favorite was the little lamb; she would feed it tender grass every day. From now on, her new favorite would probably be the little wolf.
Xiu Xi had brought this little wolf back, first, to provide the Ruan Family with a guard and protector for Ruan Jiaojiao, and second, because it resembled his past self somewhat, and he wanted to see if she remembered it and if she would like it.
Now that he had brought it back and saw that she liked it, it made him uneasy.
He disliked her paying attention to other living beings.
Pouting and following behind her, his little face clouded over, but Ruan Jiaojiao was so engrossed in toweling off the Little Wolf that she didnât notice him at all.
Since the newly born Little Wolf was frail, Ruan Jiaojiao found it a bit dirty, but she dared not give it a bath and could only use an old towel to wipe it down simply.
The Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch also came out of the inner room with scissors, helping to trim the fur around the little wolfâs face to reveal its green, watery eyes, then smoothed down its body fur.
âIt turns out to be quite good-looking.â The Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch laughed as she watched Ruan Jiaojiao, âHave you thought of a good name for it, Jiaojiao?â
