Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: She Will Die (9)
Even though today is the first day of school, there’s still night study as usual, but Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi didn’t go. After dinner, Shu Jiao instructed Ruan Jianguo: "Separate Xiaoxi’s room in the school apartment with a wooden partition to divide it into two small rooms."
"Why?" Ruan Jianguo asked, turning his head.
The apartment is quite big, with three bedrooms and a living room, over 180 square meters, and the renovation is already completed. The Ruanlin Family is currently moving daily necessities inside.
Xiu Xi’s room is over 40 square meters, it’s quite spacious for one person, but partitioning it into two small rooms would make it too cramped.
"For Jiaojiao," replied the Ruanlin Family. Shu Jiao had already discussed it in the afternoon. Compared to Ruan Jiaojiao’s reputation, those things are insignificant. Moreover, in the minds of Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family, Xiu Xi’s identity is essentially recognized; they just haven’t openly discussed it yet.
However, Ruan Jianguo hadn’t been informed yet. As soon as he returned, he went to find Ruan Jiaojiao. Now hearing this, his face immediately turned grim—it truly looked unpleasant.
Even if Xiu Xi, that brat, is to become part of the Ruan Family in the future, Jiaojiao is still so young. They say boys and girls shouldn’t share seating at six years old, and although times have changed, twelve and fifteen is even greater, even if they’re biological siblings, there’s no reason to sleep in the same room.
Ruan Jianguo was not the only one shocked; even Ruan Jiaojiao was a bit confused when she heard it. She turned to ask the Ruanlin Family: "Grandma, wasn’t it decided that I’d sleep with you?"
Even though she might not understand matters between men and women, she knew at her age, she already had her period. How could she sleep with Xiu Xi?
"Grandma is old, not feeling well, coughs at night, could disturb you, or worse, pass an illness to you, and that’d be bad," explained the Ruanlin Family. "Your health isn’t strong; don’t let it affect your studies."
"Grandma, are you not well?" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the Ruanlin Family with concern. Xiaobai likes to go to the mountains and knows some medicinal herbs, so over the years, Xiaobai often brought back things to the Ruan Family. Even the Lingzhi, the Ruanlin Family would occasionally eat some. Ruan Jiaojiao thought the Ruanlin Family appeared healthier than before, even the graying hair had turned black again—how could there be health issues?
"Grandma, every year, Grandpa goes for a full-body check at the hospital. This year, when we go to Beidu for New Year’s, you should get a check-up too, alright?"
Ruan Jiaojiao grew increasingly anxious, wishing she could take the Ruanlin Family to Beidu right now for a full-body check-up.
She couldn’t imagine what her life would be like if one day the Ruanlin Family left her.
"No worries, no worries, Grandma’s fine, Grandma just mentioned it," the Ruanlin Family said. The intention behind those words was to find a reason for Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao to live in one room, but they hadn’t expected Ruan Jiaojiao to focus solely on the health concern.
The Ruanlin Family appeared nonchalant, but inside was filled with sweetness, only feeling that their little darling was truly different; so considerate!
"Oh, well, Grandma, if you’re ever unwell, be sure to tell Jiaojiao. We’ll go see a doctor. Jiaojiao is still waiting for you to accompany her to university too."
"Alright." The heart of the Ruanlin Family felt truly sweet.
Ruan Jianguo can let Xiu Xi keep an eye on his little cabbage under his own roof, but he couldn’t bear the thought of his tender little cabbage being taken away before she even grows up, still thought it was just about insufficient space.
