Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Forgotten Eighth Child (Part 1)
She hadn’t realized that her actions and behavior had become a bit cat-like, her big round eyes darting around.
Seeing Xiu Xi come out drying his wet hair with a towel, she immediately put down her little paws and struggled to stand up on her round body.
“Meow meow…” Brother Xiu, what exactly happened these days? Quickly tell me.
Xiu Xi was exhausted yesterday, utterly drained, so he let the doctor apply medicine for him, but he actually does not like others to touch him, even the Ruanlin Family. So now he was taking medicine from the table, applying it to himself while softly recounting the events of the past few days.
The things he said seemed simple and understated.
But Ruan Jiaojiao listened with tears welling up, she could almost imagine the state of everyone in the Ruan Family after she left, and how this silly wolf had tirelessly roamed the mountain forests, searching for a Thousand-year-old Ginseng for her.
“Meow.” Brother Xiu, thank you.
“No need to thank me, as long as you’re okay.” Xiu Xi put down the medicine, turned to pat her little head, cupped her in his hands, kissed her forehead, and said, “Don’t worry, I will help you return to your body, and I will stay with you for these almost three months.”
“Meow!” Ruan Jiaojiao was so touched, her little companion truly was the best companion in the world.
Watching him place her down on the table and struggle to apply medicine to himself, she regretted not being able to help and could only gesture outside.
“Meow meow.” Brother Xiu, let big brother help you with the medicine.
Her big brother is such a gentle person; his movements when applying medicine must be very gentle too.
Upon hearing this, Xiu Xi’s eyes flickered, he turned his head and said, “It’s okay, I can manage by myself, besides, I don’t like others touching me.”
As he spoke, he skillfully applied medicine to several wounds on the inside of his arm.
After he was done, Xiu Xi carried Ruan Jiaojiao out of the room again.
Outside the room, Ruanlin and Shu Jiao were already relieved and had gone away to do other things, Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie were downstairs.
When Ruan Jiaojiao was carried down, she couldn’t help but squint happily when she saw Ruan Hao. She loved this gentle big brother. In the past, she was too old to comfortably cuddle into his arms, but now that she’s turned into a cat, it’s much easier to be affectionate.
Ruan Jiaojiao stretched out her little paw, making a hugging gesture toward Ruan Hao.
“Meow.” Big brother, hug me.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s action was too obvious that even if Xiu Xi didn’t translate, everyone understood what it meant.
So Xiu Xi could only helplessly hand her over, watching her nuzzle into another male’s arms with a face full of bliss, feeling extremely sour inside.
However, he always masked his emotions well, so no one else noticed anything, but it was Ruan Jie who was so jealous that he almost couldn’t control his expression.
He cast a reproachful look at Ruan Jiaojiao, both upset and aggrieved, “Jiaojiao, I’m your second brother, why do you only recognize big brother?”
Ruan Jiaojiao pulled her little head out from Ruan Hao’s embrace, and due to the nuzzling, her forehead fur was all messed up, making her look silly and foolish.
Ruan Jie’s eyes lit up when he saw her, he had never particularly loved cats, the tabby at home wasn’t close to them, he never knew that little kittens could be so adorable. She was so cute that he just wanted to hug her tightly and give her a good rub!
