Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Moving to the Town (7)

“…” Lu Zishu.

“Ah, that Lu Zishu just…”

“I’m giving this to you!” Lu Zishu gritted his teeth in anger.

“Well then, since that’s the case, I will reluctantly accept it.” Little Fatty said formally, then started putting slices of lotus root from his bowl into the other’s: “Come on, you wanted to eat lotus root, right? Eat up, I’ll get you more if it’s not enough.”

“Thank you.” Lu Zishu.

“We’re good friends, no need for thanks.” Ruan Lei.

“…” Lu Zishu.

On the other side, all Ruan Jiaojiao could see was the two of them huddled in a corner muttering to each other. Then she saw Little Fatty laugh, and Lu Zishu seemed to have an indescribably troubled expression. She couldn’t help but wonder what they were talking about.

“Eat.” Xiu Xi, who had approached her at some point, reminded her.

Ruan Jiaojiao responded with a hum and returned to her meal, but as she looked at the dishes in her bowl, she felt something was off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was strange.

Not far from her, under the eaves, Meat Meat stared at the extra slices of lotus root that had appeared in its bowl, feeling incredibly wronged. It scratched at the ground with its paws—it didn’t eat this stuff, it was a wolf, it only ate meat!

However, when Xiu Xi’s chilling gaze swept over it, Meat Meat didn’t dare show any reaction and lowered its head to eat the things that weren’t meant for it.

Xiu Xi watched Meat Meat dispose of the “evidence,” then turned his attention back to serving Ruan Jiaojiao until she said she was full and couldn’t eat anymore.

After dinner, as it was getting late and the next day would be busy, the Lu family went home early. Du Qing and Wu Le helped clean up the mess after the meal and also went home.

Ruan Lei didn’t leave with Du Qing and the others but instead went to the bathroom downstairs at the Ruan family’s house.

He squatted for almost ten minutes before coming out, leaning against the wall as he walked, with his legs feeling completely numb.

The Ruan Family’s restroom was next to the stairs leading upstairs. As he grabbed onto the wall and made it to the bottom of the stairs, he thought that he might have squatted for too long or might have been too tired from the day.

Because he started seeing stars! And one particularly large “star” even whooshed right in front of him towards the direction of the main room…

He rubbed his eyes and looked again—sure enough, the “star” was gone.

It seemed that he was really too exhausted.

Ruan Lei, thinking that Ruan Hao was not at home and there should still be an unoccupied bed in Ruan Jie’s room downstairs, decided not to walk back and climbed up the stairs, lying down on Ruan Hao’s bed to sleep.

But within a few minutes, his stomach started aching again, and he got up from bed and went to the bathroom. He turned the doorknob only to hear Ruan Jie’s voice from inside: “Go downstairs.”

There were two restrooms on the upper floor, but one was in Ruan Jiaojiao’s bedroom, so she definitely wouldn’t be using the restroom here. Ruan Jie, thinking it was Xiu Xi, told him to go to the lower floor.

Of course, even if he knew it was Ruan Lei, Ruan Jie would not have let him in.

Ruan Lei could only clutch his stomach and rush back downstairs. Before entering the restroom, he subconsciously glanced under the stairs next to him, and that glance left him stunned.

He covered his stomach with one hand, took a step back, blinked, blinked again, and then weakly called for the Ruanlin Family: “Granny, granny, I think I might have food poisoning!”

So, not only was he suffering from diarrhea, but he also started hallucinating—he actually saw a big yellow Changchong lying under the stairs!
