Chapter 489 - 489 489 Birthday (5)_1

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Birthday (5)_1 Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Birthday (5)_1 This little tone, those big eyes — the Ruan Family felt their hearts melting.

Why couldn’t they!

Of course, they could!

The Ruanlin Family’s matriarch was the first to endorse, “Sure! As long as Jiaojiao wants it, we’ll raise it. It’s just a Changchong, isn’t it? We’ll keep it!”

She turned to the other Ruan family members, “What about you? Anyone opposed?”

“…” The others.

Dare not oppose, they all nodded with a smile, echoing, “Let’s raise it, whatever Jiaojiao wants to raise, naturally we should.”

Shu Jiao was a bit better off, at least she had received some vaccinations at the hospital, but Ruan Hao truly had no clue and hadn’t had time to respond yet.

Seeing the whole family agreeing and clamoring to raise it, he naturally dared not object, but he still hesitated somewhat, “This snake isn’t the same as Meatball. Meatball was raised from a pup and has adapted to humans, this snake…”

Maybe because the world’s portrayal of snakes has never been too positive, Ruan Hao worried that the snake might harm someone, after all, it was a cold-blooded creature.

“Jiaojiao guarantees, it really won’t hurt anyone. Big brother, once you see it, you’ll know, truly — Jiaojiao promises.” Ruan Jiaojiao clasped her hands, blinking her big eyes and ran up to Ruan Hao to act spoiled, “Big brother, please, can we?”

“You really are…” Ruan Hao didn’t know what else to say. The family had a cat and a wolf — the cat aside, the wolf already had the village talking. Now they were adding a snake. He wasn’t concerned for himself, but for what others would say about his sister.

After all, there were already many rumors in the village, especially since his sister was saved from the mountain. The theories ranged far and wide, the wildest being that his sister was transformed by a mountain spirit.

She was young now and didn’t remember much, which seemed fine, but he feared she would care when she grew up.

However, seeing that no one else in the family indicated any objection, he thought he might be overthinking it. Meeting his sister’s expectant gaze, he chuckled, “Alright, whatever Jiaojiao wants to keep, we’ll keep.”

“Thank you, big brother!” Ruan Jiaojiao leaned in for a big kiss and then happily jumped up, turning to run toward the backyard.

Ruan Jianguo felt somewhat jealous as he touched his own face. When had his daughter last kissed him? He was the first to agree, after all.

Watching Ruan Jiaojiao hop and skip to the backyard, so full of joy, the rest of the Ruan family couldn’t help but start laughing, and they all stood up to follow.

Xiu Xi, who had been ignored the whole time, followed behind with his handsome face tense, slowly moving toward the backyard.

As Ruan Jiaojiao opened the door on one side, Changchong had already crawled into the compound wall on the other, perched and peering into the Ruanlin matriarch’s room through the window, cautiously tilting its head to peek through the slightly ajar window. Since its head was rather large, it could only tilt it 180 degrees to stretch inside…

When Ruan Jiaojiao opened the door, Changchong’s head, which was already halfway inside, got startled by the noise and attempted to retreat hurriedly, feeling guilty as a snake. Because it was so flustered, it forgot to tilt its head back out, tried to pull straight out, and then… got stuck… caught by the window’s barred lattices!

“Clang!” That was the sound of the window pane being yanked open and then hitting something.

“Hiss, hiss…” Ouch!

That was the sound of a snake with its head trapped in the window grill!

“…” The Ruan family.

This Changchong doesn’t seem very bright.

Especially Ruan Hao, whose expression really said it all — beyond words. He thought, all his prior concerns were truly unnecessary; with this Changchong… what possible danger could there be?!
