Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at Shu Lang, feeling a bit anxious inside. She couldn’t let him see this.
Ruan Jianguo hadn’t returned from the town yet, and she tilted her head back and called out to the Ruanlin Family matriarch who was still boiling water in the kitchen, "Nanny, the sheep in the backyard are bumping against the door!"
The Ruan Family’s kitchen was now in front of the building, not in the backyard. The Ruanlin Family matriarch was initially puzzled when she heard Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice, since Xiu Xi was around and all the livestock were behaving exceptionally well—how could they suddenly be bumping against the door?
However, she quickly thought of a certain possibility. Remembering Shu Lang in the front yard, her face changed color and she hurried out, saying, "Alang, keep Jiaojiao company, I’ll go take a look."
With that, she rushed toward the backyard.
Shu Lang felt her expression was a bit unusual, but he didn’t think too much of it and didn’t pay much attention. He smiled, nodded his head, sat back down, and continued to fan Ruan Jiaojiao.
Meanwhile, in the backyard.
When the Ruanlin Family matriarch opened the door, she indeed saw the small stairs in front of the door piled up with fruit, mainly watermelons and peaches.
Their building was particularly close to the back mountain, and when she opened the door, she also saw the large trees on the back mountain swaying, probably the commotion caused by those monkeys.
As for the one delivering watermelons—
The Ruanlin Family matriarch silently sighed.
When she first saw that creature, she was truly frightened; she had never seen such a large Changchong before.
But after two months of living together, she had started to view it with a fond eye.
Especially since it almost brought watermelons every week for their dear treasure to eat, it was clear that it had good intentions towards their family.
Looking at its body twisted like a pretzel and its snakehead cocked to the side, desperately trying to look backward, she could only helplessly lower her voice and say, "Jiaojiao is in the front yard with her uncle, she can’t come over for now. Can you come to see her another time?"
"Hiss hiss..." No good, it had specifically rushed over when that demon wasn’t home! How could it wait until another time?
"Hiss hiss..." Changchong nudged the big watermelon beneath it, indicating that it was a gift for visiting their home.
This was the best fruit it had found after climbing the mountain for a long time, and it had a hard time bringing it down the mountain, so how could it not get a glimpse of Little Cutie?
Without Xiu Xi maintaining order, Changchong was quite bold and tried to squeeze itself inside with its coquettish body twists. Although the Ruanlin Family matriarch was no longer as scared as before, she dared not let it get close and hurriedly stepped back.
Meatball rushed over from behind and stood in front of the Ruanlin Family matriarch, crouching down and continuously baring its teeth in a threatening manner at Changchong.
But this display was nothing to Changchong. It glanced at Meatball airily, thinking if it couldn’t get in through the door, surely it could climb the wall, right?
In the front yard, Shu Lang heard Meatball’s barking and became worried. He stood up and was about to go check on the situation, but Ruan Jiaojiao grabbed his arm.
"Uncle!" Ruan Jiaojiao called out in desperation, clutching his arm tightly, preventing him from going over.
Shu Lang turned around, looking at her puzzled, waiting for her to continue.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know what to say, panicked, her mind blanked out, and she blurted out, "Uncle, you’re really handsome!"
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao. She wanted to die.
Shu Lang chuckled, his elegant face suddenly becoming lively.
He turned around and rubbed Ruan Jiaojiao’s little head, asking with amusement, "Really? Does Jiaojiao really think uncle is the handsomest?"
