Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Unmatched by Anyone (2)_1 Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Unmatched by Anyone (2)_1 Seeing all three happily playing together, Ruan Jiaojiao was also very happy, pointing to Changchong and introducing it to the Ruan family, âThis is Xiaobai.â
âNot bad at all,â the Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch nodded, praising with a guilty conscience.
âYeah, quite cute,â Ruan Jie also praised with a guilty conscience.
âIsnât that the case, hahaha, since Jiaojiao likes it, we might as well keep it. Dad will hire someone to come over tomorrow to raise the fence.â Ruan Jian|guo said.
Although Shu Jiao and Ruan Hao didnât speak, they both smiled with their eyes and nodded at her.
Now that everyone in the Ruan family had expressed their opinions, Ruan Jiaojiao was especially happy, but when her gaze fell on Xiu Xi, who hadnât said a word, her big eyes flickered, and she chose not to speak to him for the time being.
Instead, she told Xiaobai to stay put and not to run around before she followed Shu Jiao to take a bath.
The other members of the Ruan family dispersed, going about their own business.
Ruan Jie was actually very curious about Xiaobai and wanted to take a closer look, but since he wasnât familiar with it and everyone else had left, he didnât dare linger and hurriedly followed Ruan Hao upstairs.
This left only Xiu Xi, Changchong, and the three-haired Rou-Rou in the entire hall.
Rou-Rou was late to realize that the room was empty except for Xiu Xi, and with a howl, it ran off with its tail between its legs.
Sanmao lay on the ground as Xiaobai poked its soft belly, meowing loudly in annoyance, unable to free its tail and could only roll around on the ground.
And Xiaobaiâ
On the surface, it seemed no different, but it had actually gone cold all over. Its playful actions slowed down, its body stiffening up, and it was internally panicking.
Xiu Xi stared at it for a long time, finally withdrawing his gaze only when Ruan Jiaojiao came out from the bath.
And during this process, Xiaobai remained stiff and motionless the whole time, while Sanmao had long since run away.
Once Xiu Xiâs gaze was off, Xiaobai collapsed onto the ground like a useless snake.
âHiss hissâŠâ So terrifying, really terrifying!
There werenât sleepwear in this era, and wearing a comfortable sweatshirt after coming out of the bathroom, Ruan Jiaojiao saw Xiaobai lying on the ground, body trembling, and thought it was hot, saying, âXiaobai, find a place for yourself to sleep. If you feel hot, just go to the mountains. But be careful on your way back, donât get seen by anyone.â
ââŠHiss hissâŠâ Poor little thing.
Xiaobai spat out its tongue, feeling wronged. It wasnât hot, it was scared; could it possibly sleep with little cutie?
The answer was, of course, no.
Xiu Xi seemed to have read its mind, his icy eyes already sweeping over, scaring Xiaobai into quickly scurrying under the stairs and curling up to hide.
âHmm, that spot inside is indeed cooler; sleeping there is pretty good,â Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, agreeing that it had found a good spot.
ââŠâ Xiaobai.
Ruan Jiaojiao, looking at Xiu Xi who had been tensely pulling at Xiaojunâs face the whole time without uttering a word, asked curiously, âBrother Xi, arenât you going to take a bath?â
Xiu Xi glanced at her and stood up to walk outside.
In the summer, the men in the house simply took showers out in the courtyard, with the bathroom only ever being used by Ruan Jiaojiao, the Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch, and Shu Jiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched his huffy back, chuckled to herself, humming a tune, and went upstairs in high spirits.
She encountered Ruan Jie leaning over the banister, peering downstairs.
âBrother, what are you doing?â she followed his gaze downward.
