Capítulo 1889: Chapter 1889: The New Neighbors Are Twins (Part 1)

“Grandma, why are you so wonderful.” After listening to Ruanlin Family, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but sincerely flatter: “I must have accumulated great virtue in my previous lives to be your granddaughter this life. In the next life, I still want to be your granddaughter. Grandma, you can’t favor others.”

“You child.” The Ruanlin Family was amused by her words: “You just know how to say nice things to make grandma happy. Alright, take this inside, I still have some work to do. If you get hungry, just tell grandma and I’ll make you some food.”

“Okay.” Jiaojiao nodded with a smile.

Watching Rou Rou and Xiaoxue follow Ruanlin Family closely, one digging a hole, the other burying it with soil, working in perfect harmony, but Jiaojiao always felt like something was missing.

But she couldn’t recall what it was until she returned to the house with the dustpan Ruanlin Family asked her to take inside and saw on the living room TV, a show about Changchong. Then she remembered, where’s Xiaobai? Spring has been around for a while, how come Xiaobai hasn’t come back this year?

According to Xiaobai’s usual hibernation timeline, it should have ended in April, around the time of Qingming Festival, but it’s already May this year, why hasn’t Xiaobai come out yet?

“Grandma, has Xiaobai come back this year?” Jiaojiao ran out to ask Ruanlin Family.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have forgotten. Neither Xiaobai nor Xiaohuang have returned this year. If you have time, let Xiaoxi check the situation.” Ruanlin Family suddenly remembered this and said with some concern.

Jiaojiao nodded, went back into the house, and sent Duan Xi a message, asking him to call her back.

Almost immediately after Jiaojiao sent the message, Duan Xi’s number rang back.

Jiaojiao immediately said, “Brother Xi, Xiaobai hasn’t come back this year. Do you know where it hibernates? Why hasn’t it come back yet?”

Duan Xi answered, “I don’t know,” then paused and added, “Don’t worry, there are no predators for it around here. Maybe something came up and delayed it.”

Jiaojiao acknowledged with a few “uh-huhs,” and they chatted a bit more before hanging up.

At that time, Jiaojiao wasn’t too worried because, as Duan Xi mentioned, Xiaobai is smart, and with no predators around, there isn’t much danger in this world. Perhaps something indeed came up, causing the delay.

But she didn’t expect this delay to drag on for over a month.

By June, the weather in Beidu started to get restless, and Xiaobai still hadn’t returned. Jiaojiao started to get antsy because if Xiaobai doesn’t come back in two more months, it would be time to avoid the summer heat!

On the weekend when they had a school break, Jiaojiao and Duan Xi drove back from school, and she talked about this the entire way.

“Brother Xi, don’t you think we should go look for Xiaobai? Do you know which mountain it hibernates on? Let’s search for it; otherwise, I really won’t be at ease,” Jiaojiao said.

Xiaobai is very sensible and usually rushes back immediately after hibernation, worried about missing out on a few days. It usually goes to the mountains to avoid the summer heat during the Dragon Boat Festival when it’s unbearably hot, and during this time, shortens its stay as much as possible to spend more days with the Ruan Family. It has never been like this, not returning by June.

Duan Xi was driving, and though he wasn’t worried at all, seeing Jiaojiao’s concerned expression, he could only comfort her by saying, “Alright, I’ll go look for it. You stay home.”
