Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao couldnât help saying, âBrother Xiu, rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, weâll remain the best of buddies.â
Ruan Jiaojiao always felt that the silly wolfâs series of actions were because he was unattached in this world, didnât know anyone, so he cared especially for her, the familiar cat, and held a different kind of possessiveness.

Once Ruan Jiaojiaoâs birthday passed, deep autumn arrived, and the weather became colder and colder.
With the change of weather, the business at the restaurant grew better and more prosperous, especially when the weather turned cold, and some days they could take in more than a hundred dollars.
Of course, this was inseparably linked to the wild game Xiu Xi provided; many people even came specifically for it.
When the restaurant first opened, Ruan Jiaojiao had proposed giving Ruan Jianguo the private earnings from Xiu Xi as a share of ownership, but Ruan Jianguo refused.
It wasnât about not letting Xiu Xi have a share, but rather they decided to use the wild game he provided in lieu of money, giving him a one-third stake in the business. That is to say, when it came time to settle the accounts at the end of the year, heâd get one-third of the profits.
Since he was still young, these earnings would be managed by Ruan Jianguo until he grew up a bit, or they would invest them in other projects later on for compound benefits.
Xiu Xi was indifferent to these arrangements; he followed whatever Ruan Jianguo said. After all, in his eyes, his money was all Ruan Jiaojiaoâs; as long as he could support her, he felt it was enough.
In the first days of early winter,
Xiaobai seemed somewhat listless at home, not much interested in wandering about, and mostly curled up sleeping under the stairs most of the time, one daytime sleep after another, without going out for food.
Ruan Jiaojiao initially thought it was sick and even dragged Xiu Xi along to ask about it, wanting to know where it felt uncomfortable.
It turned out that it was time for winter hibernation, but it didnât want to leave her.
It felt that the reason she suffered a serious illness and had a big hole in her head was because it hadnât been there to protect her, so it didnât dare to leave and even wanted to hibernate at home to be able to protect her at any time.
Ruan Jiaojiao, learning of its mindset, was very touched.
But humans are not the same as animals, especially snakes, which need to hibernate, while humans are active even in winter. It might not hibernate well here.
She squatted in front of Xiaobai, stroking its big head and persuading, âXiaobai, go hibernate. Itâs okay here; I have Rou Rou and Sanmao.â
âAo wuu ao wuu!â Rou Rou was nibbling on a bone in the hallway and timely let out a couple of barks at her words.
âSsssâŠâ No, that thing is not formidable enough to protect Little Cutie.
Both humans and snakes maintained a disdainful attitude toward Rou Rou; they both felt that relying on Rou Rou to protect her was as likely as a sow climbing a tree.
Rou Rou, whether it understood or not, bristled at the sound, bared its teeth, showing off the ferocious fangs it had just managed to grow, as if to signal its own fierce nature.
But after a leisurely glance from Xiu Xi, it instantly became timid, tucked its tail, and ran off with the bone. As it passed by Sanmao, it provocatively swept its tail across him, and the now fully grown Sanmao chased after, bounding and wailing through the yardâŠ
