As Ruan Jiaojiao's good friend, Wa Yiting always managed to get a taste of a few ripe fruits, although she hated this kind of "charity" from Ruan Jiaojiao. Yet, for someone who could hardly get enough to eat, it had to be considered a delicacy.
So now, as she watched Ruan Jiaojiao holding another untouched plum in her hand, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva repeatedly, her eyes filled with longing.
If it had been the original owner of the body, given her relationship with Wa Yiting, the plum would naturally have ended up in her mouth.
Unfortunately, she was now dealing with Ruan Jiaojiao.
As a plump cat, Ruan Jiaojiao was fiercely protective of her food, so the idea of getting any snack from her mouth was unthinkable.
Ruan Jiaojiao, as if she hadn't seen Wa Yiting's desirous gaze, continued to smack her lips contentedly and hummed in response, "All right."
"All right then, do you want to come with us to pick mushrooms on the back hill? I heard there are lots of them popping up. Even if not, there's plenty of bamboo shoots. Do you want to join us? The boys have formed a group too, and even a few of your brothers are going," she offered, then pursed her lips, unable to restrain herself due to her young age, and asked, "Is that plum tasty? Can you give me one to try?"
She thought that, considering her friendship with Ruan Jiaojiao, after what she had just said, Ruan Jiaojiao would certainly give her one, but unexpectedly, Ruan Jiaojiao wrinkled her little nose and shook her head in refusal, "No, this one is saved for my brother to eat; I can't give it to you."
Boom, Wa Yiting's face turned red all at once.
It was from embarrassment as well as anger.
She hadn't expected Ruan Jiaojiao to actually refuse, feeling extremely humiliated and annoyed, yet she didn't know what to say, and she fell silent.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't speak either, continuing to eat her own food as if she hadn't noticed Wa Yiting's discomfort.
Although in the original owner's case, the female protagonist and she were irreconcilable enemies, to her they were at most strangers, and she had no intention of engaging in any revenge.
Furthermore, the girl was too young to hide any emotion effectively—it was simply not her turn to take action, and she had no interest in that troublemaking male protagonist either.
If she were to do anything at all, it would probably be to prevent the little antagonist's plans to destroy the world.
To stop the little antagonist from destroying the world, she had to stop him from falling in love with the female protagonist, and that meant preventing their interactions as a priority.
The reason the little antagonist fell for the female protagonist was that she gave him a wormwood rice cake. It seemed that for him, who had an unhappy childhood, this was a rare warmth, one that others had not offered him before.
But just a few days ago, the Ruanlin Family had just provided the little antagonist with a bowl of rice. Did this mean that the little antagonist's original trajectory was already changed? After all, the reason he fell in love with the female protagonist was that wormwood rice cake she gave him.
Of course, the little antagonist wouldn't fall for the Ruanlin Family because of this. Ruan Jiaojiao thought, it seemed she would have to work harder in the future to keep the little antagonist and the female protagonist apart—she definitely didn't want to finally become a person, only to be destroyed by his plans.
Wa Yiting waited for Ruan Jiaojiao's response for a good while but got nothing, which made her even more angry.
Young and unable to mask her feelings, her eyes started to redden too.
She glared at Ruan Jiaojiao, somewhat annoyed, and said aggressively, "Are you going or not?"
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at her, still looking unruffled, and slowly shook her head, "No, I'm not going."
