Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: Don’t Steal My Brother Xu (8)
However, in the dim night, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t notice his unusual behavior.
The two of them walked and stopped along the way, chatting occasionally, and soon reached the road at the corner of the Ruan Family’s villa.
Ruan Jiaojiao had good eyesight and spotted a yellow-orange figure jumping down from her home’s wall from a distance, then strutting towards them.
As it got closer, Ruan Jiaojiao clearly saw that it was holding another chicken leg in its mouth!
And behind the wall, the mournful howling was almost ear-piercing, obviously annoyed and embarrassed after repeatedly having its chicken leg stolen.
“Sanmao?” Ruan Jiaojiao heard the urgent howling from inside the wall and looked at Sanmao, who had stopped upon seeing them, squatting down curiously.
Sanmao wasn’t particularly close to the Ruan Family, but it was fond of Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao squatted down to pet it, and it stood obediently but did not let go of the chicken leg in its mouth.
“Sanmao, where are you taking that chicken leg?” Ruan Jiaojiao asked.
Sanmao paused, as if remembering something, looked up at Ruan Jiaojiao, and then dashed away with the big chicken leg without hesitation, disappearing into the night. Even if Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to chase it, she couldn’t catch up.
Ruan Jiaojiao stood up, even more puzzled: “Brother Xi, what do you think is up with Sanmao?”
“There’s a cat outside.” Xiu Xi replied, not caring about Sanmao or the cat outside, and continued leading her home.
But Ruan Jiaojiao found the phrase “there’s a cat outside” rather bizarre.
Nevertheless, Sanmao was six years old this year and male, so it’s not unusual for there to be a cat outside. On the contrary, poor Rou Rou inside the wall seemed a little pitiful.
In past years, the meat vendor uncle would often ask her about breeding Rou Rou, but he hasn’t asked much lately, possibly giving up.
The family pet Xiaobai also had a significant other, which was that large yellow snake. It rarely came to the house, but she had seen it a few times, though Xiaobai was always the one bullying it.
But anyway, both Xiaobai and Sanmao had others, yet Rou Rou was still alone.
Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly felt a bit sorry for Rou Rou.
After she entered the yard, Rou Rou rushed over from the other side, circling around her excitedly, without a care in the world, and she wondered what it was so happy about all day.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked down at it: “Rou Rou, do you want a wife?”
If it wanted one, she would ask Xiu Xi to bring another she-wolf back from the front mountain to accompany it.
“Awoo!” Upon hearing this, Rou Rou hopped backward with its bottom sticking out and jumped again.
“Awoo awoo!” It then responded with an especially vigorous howl.
All while pointing its front paw outside, looking very anxious.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t understand animal language, but seeing its reaction, she understood and immediately felt she might have had a momentary lapse of reason.
This kind of creature, only concerned about its chicken leg being stolen by Sanmao, needed no wife!
It would probably just end up fighting with its wife for a chicken leg every day.
Rou Rou was indeed in a hurry. The Ruanlin family wasn’t short on money, and the Ruanlin Family pampered it, so it got to eat chicken legs three times a day.
But this past week, it hadn’t had any chicken leg because Sanmao always managed to snatch its chicken leg with lightning speed.
