Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Unmatched by Anyone (4)_1 Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Unmatched by Anyone (4)_1 “…” Xiu Xi just wouldn’t talk.

“My hand is a bit sore,” said Ruan Jiaojiao as she sat down next to him, throwing the towel over his head, gesturing for him to wipe himself.

But Xiu Xi didn’t take it, instead, he just looked at her with a pair of eyes. Although he didn’t speak, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know why she felt his gaze carried a silent accusation.

In fact, Ruan Jiaojiao felt that she somewhat understood Xiu Xi’s current feelings.

After all, she had once been to a strange place, without relatives, friends, or playmates, without anything… That feeling was too lonely…

She thought that Xiu Xi probably felt the same way now.

He had come into this world alone, without any companions, and he probably considered her his only playmate. That’s why he might care so much, afraid she would not play with him? Not be his playmate?

With this in mind, Ruan Jiaojiao took the initiative to take Xiu Xi’s hand that was next to her.

“Xiu Brother, don’t worry, you’ll always be my playmate,” she said solemnly.

She had a knack for comforting people: “From now on, we’ll be the best of friends, the best playmates, unmatched by anyone else.”

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to emphasize the special bond of their playmate friendship, unmatched by anyone.

But Xiu Xi focused only on the last few words. Upon hearing them, the originally dim Xiaojun’s face brightened with visible speed, “Unmatched by anyone else?”

“Yes,” Ruan Jiaojiao nodded seriously, “So don’t be unhappy, okay?”

“Hmm!” Xiu Xi nodded vigorously too, the ice and snow on his face completely melting. However, when his gaze swept over the toy she had placed on the table, a faint light flickered in his eyes.

The next day, Ruan Jiaojiao woke up to find her toy was gone!

Ruan Jiaojiao searched around the room but couldn’t find it, and Shu Jiao came upstairs to tidy up. Seeing her with her little butt perked up, searching everywhere on the floor, she curiously asked, “Jiaojiao, what are you looking for?”

“Mom, my toy is missing. Xiu Brother brought it back for me just last night, and I only played with it once,” Ruan Jiaojiao said, almost crawling under the bed.

“What does it look like? Mom will help you look for it.”

“It’s a pink game console, about this big,” Ruan Jiaojiao crawled out and gestured with her hands.

“Does it also contain some little circles and water inside?”

“Yes, did you see it, mom?” Ruan Jiaojiao asked excitedly.

“…” Shu Jiao was silent for two seconds: “Downstairs, Rou Rou is gnawing on it.” She had seen it when she got up in the morning and had been curiously looking at it for quite a while, because she didn’t remember having such a thing at home. She thought Rou Rou had brought it back from outside during his morning walk.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then ran downstairs. Shu Jiao called out worriedly from behind, “Slow down, don’t fall!”

“Okay!” Ruan Jiaojiao responded but was already far away.

Shu Jiao shook her head helplessly and turned to tidy up the room.

“Rou Rou!” Ruan Jiaojiao shouted before she even reached the first floor.

Downstairs, Ruanlin Family had just come out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron, and seeing her rushing down the stairs in a frantic hurry, she immediately ran over. “Jiaojiao, slow down, don’t fall.”

“Granny, where’s Rou Rou?” Ruan Jiaojiao asked, having come down the last flight of stairs, anxiously.

“There,” pointed Ruanlin Family towards the yard, where Rou Rou was tossing a pink object into the air, then leaping to catch it in his mouth, followed by another toss and jump to catch it again… Rou Rou was clearly enjoying himself immensely.
