Chapter 457: Chapter 457: The Brothers Group Up to Boost Morale (2)_1 Chapter 457: Chapter 457: The Brothers Group Up to Boost Morale (2)_1 All the boys wanted to mooch off the electric fan, but aside from the grown-up Ruan Bo and Ruan Jun who had already left, the rest were still here, sprawled out asleep in the rooms of Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie.
By the time Ruan Jiaojiao came upstairs, most of them had already fallen asleep, and those who hadnāt didnāt get up, afraid of waking the person next to them.
To ensure ventilation, none of the room doors were closed.
When Ruan Jiaojiao came up, she also tiptoed along with Xiu Xi, not wanting to disturb them.
Standing in front of the doorway, Ruan Jiaojiao waved her little paw at him, āGood night, Brother Xi.ā
āGood night,ā Xiu Xi nodded in response.
Only after he saw her enter her room did he follow suit and went into his own.
Ruan Jiaojiao wasnāt as bothered by the heat, so she closed her room door. Still excited, she couldnāt fall asleep at all. She turned off the lights and tossed and turned in bed, thinking about many things.
Of course, what she thought about most was her time in the forest with the silly wolf. Even now, those memories from long ago seemed extraordinarily vivid, making her laugh out loud.
For some reason, she couldnāt help but feel happy whenever she thought about the little antagonist actually being that silly wolf.
It even made her forget all the distressing matters concerning herself.
āKnock knockā¦ā
As Ruan Jiaojiao rolled over once more and lay on her back facing away from the window, she heard a familiar knocking sound on the glass. Hugging her thin blanket, she sat up and looked out.
Indeed, she saw a long, dark shadow twisting outside her window. Hmm, it was twisting quite seductively.
When it noticed her looking, it stopped moving and tilted its large head to meet her gaze.
If it wasnāt Lingzhi, who else could it be?
The night was rife with mosquitoes, and unlike her thick-skinned brothers who could sleep with the windows and doors open, Ruan Jiaojiao couldnāt do the same, especially since their house was behind a mountain, where the mosquitoes were even more abundant. So, her window was usually closed.
Seeing Lingzhi still twisting outside, afraid it would attract the attention of the brothers next door, she hurriedly got up and opened the window.
Lingzhi took the opportunity to slither in.
There was a gift on the tip of its tail, a bunch of purple flowers that Ruan Jiaojiao didnāt recognize but found quite pretty.
āHiss hissā¦ā For Little Cutie.
Lingzhi placed the purple flowers by her side and began twisting its body, seeking praise.
Ruan Jiaojiao genuinely liked it now and said with a smile, āThank you, Xiaobai. Last time you brought me dates and Reishi mushrooms, especially the Reishi, which was very good for my grandmotherās illness. Thank you.ā
āHiss hissā¦ā Xiaobai?
Lingzhiās body twisted into a question mark, its head tilted as it looked at her. Was this its name?
Interestingly, Ruan Jiaojiao usually couldnāt understand its language, but today, watching its movements, she actually understood what it was doing.
She smiled warmly at it, āYes, Xiaobai, thatās the name Iāve given you. Do you like it?ā
āHiss hissā¦ā Itās a bit silly.
Lingzhi looked down on the name, but then it remembered this was a name given by Little Cutie. Not even those ugly monkeys received such treatment, so it became excited again and enthusiastically nodded its large head.
Ruan Jiaojiao, who couldnāt sleep either, wished she had someone to talk with, and since there was no one else around, Lingzhiās company was more than welcome.
As she lay back in bed, Lingzhi coiled itself at the edge, cautiously moving its snake head closer. Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao didnāt resist allowed it to rest its head on the bedās edge, its eyes shining with excitement.
If it were appropriate, it would rub its head back and forth along the bedās edge a few times. This was Little Cutieās bed, and it had managed to snuggle up to it; it was in bliss.
