"This is too risky," Ruan Jiaojiao said, her eyes filled with disapproval as her small hand gently touched the edge of the gauze on his head, lightly tapping, "What would you do if you really injured your brain?"
Although she didn’t want him to walk down the path of the villain, to destroy the world, she also didn’t want him to become an idiot.
"That won’t happen," Xiu Xi said, grabbing her small hand that was moving over his forehead, and held it tightly.
He still had to continue protecting her as she grew up, getting her the best prey, and buying her the most and the tastiest candies to eat. How could he injure himself? These wounds were just scratches he had inflicted on himself, which made them look ghastly. Actually, there was nothing serious. It was just that for the sake of putting on a full act, he had conveniently starved himself for a few days.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao still bit her lip unhappily. She didn’t like seeing him injured at all; it made her heart ache. Before, her heart had room for the Ruanlin Family, and now there was Xiu Xi too, the little villain.
But sometimes, she also felt uncertain.
The more she cared for them, the less she could bear the thought of losing them someday.
After the Ruanlin Family had visited Qian Xiabai, they came back and put a peace charm on her. Touching the charm, she felt something akin to self-doubt for the first time.
Because she didn’t know if the Ruanlin Family, the Ruan Family people, truly loved her, the chubby cat, or the original owner.
If... if one day they discovered she was an impostor, would they still love her ? Would they drive her away, as if expelling a monster?
Ruan Jiaojiao only had to think about it, and her heart would pain. She wondered if the only thing in this world that truly cared about her, this cat, without any impurities, was only the small villain before her?
"Don’t cry." Seeing tears starting to fall from Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes, Xiu Xi’s expression suddenly changed. He paid no attention to the gauze still tied to his head and moved swiftly to sit up, trying to wipe away her tears, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt dizzy.
This feeling was like when he first came to this world.
This body was still too weak!
"Don’t move recklessly, it will give you a headache," Ruan Jiaojiao said, seeing him sway a bit before lying back down helplessly, she quickly supported him.
"Don’t cry," Xiu Xi said, reaching out to wipe her small face.
"I’m not crying!" Ruan Jiaojiao snorted, turning her gaze away. Her plump cat was not that fragile, not so easily brought to tears. She wiped her small cheeks and pressed him to lie down, "You should sleep a while. Later we can go back together..." she paused, then looked at him with some hesitation, "Will we go back together?"
She was referring to the Ruan Family.
Xiu Xi nodded, they would be able to be together forever from now on.
The Ruanlin matriarch was thinking about this matter. At first, she was furious, but after calming down, she felt this might be a good opportunity for Xiu Xi to leave the Xiu Family.
This time, almost everyone on the team knew how vile the stepmother Liu Mei was. And her plan to adopt this pitiful child seemed all the more justified.
"Jianguo, go find a doctor to write a certificate, and list down all the expenses, no matter how much it is," she instructed Ruan Jianguo, then, fearing it wasn’t enough, she added, "Buy more medicine for the brain, the more expensive, the better."
"What’s up? Are you planning to ask them for money? They wouldn’t give it to you," they had been neighbors for over a decade, wasn’t it clear what kind of people lived next door?
"You don’t need to worry about that," the Ruanlin matriarch replied, already having a clear idea in her mind about what to do once she got back.
Seeing her insistence, Ruan Jianguo didn’t say anything more and turned to get the certificate from the hospital, also picking up some nutritional supplements.
