Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Making Mischief (6)_1

His malnutrition had improved a lot, and his eyes were no longer as green as they had been at the beginning, but when he looked at someone so intently, it was still somewhat unsettling.

"Who is this?" Lu Xian asked, getting goosebumps from his gaze and touching his own arm to ask Ruan Jie.

"My family’s benefactor." Ruan Jie replied.

Actually, many times, Ruan Jie also thought that Xiu Xi’s gaze was a bit frightening, especially when he looked at someone with a blank face, it would make one feel their hair stand on end as if stared down by a wild beast, which was somewhat terrifying.

However, his gaze wasn’t like that when he looked at his little sister. Even though it was still expressionless, his eyes seemed to carry warmth; that terrifying feeling would dissipate as well.

It was just like it was now.

The uncomfortable gaze from a moment ago turned warm as soon as he saw Ruan Jiaojiao turn to look for him. When she took the initiative to hold his hand, his entire demeanor softened, like a docile puppy. If he had a tail, Ruan Jie imagined it would surely be wagging and even making circles!

"Do you want to eat this candy? It’s tasty, but you have to spit it out." Ruan Jiaojiao pulled the villain forward as she asked him.

The little villain glanced at the candy in her hand, tightened his grip on her hand, and frowned, shaking his head and looking away in a very awkward manner.

Ruan Jiaojiao was hurt by his grip; she tried to shake off his hand but couldn’t, so she could only glare at him. "What’s wrong with you now? You’re hurting me, let go!"

Hearing Ruan Jiaojiao’s somewhat angry words, the little villain turned his head back, his grip loosened, but his eyes looked somewhat aggrieved, as if he had been bullied.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

She didn’t know why the little villain was sulking over nothing again, waved her hand again, and repeated her question, "Are you sure you don’t want it?"

"Hmph!" The little villain turned his head away again, but this time he didn’t hurt her.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

Snorted at again, he was indeed a little villain with a peculiar temper!

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t be bothered with him; chewing her bubble gum, she walked towards Ruan Jie. The little villain followed behind with pursed lips, and halfway there, a barrage of firecracker noises suddenly burst forth. Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively flinched, and the next second, a pair of warm little hands covered her ears.

"Don’t be afraid."

She looked up and could see the little villain comforting her, but the sound of firecrackers was too loud, and she could only see his lips moving.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t scared. The shudder was just a reflex, but watching the little villain cover her ears with such earnestness distracted her thoughts once again.

It was probably her umpteenth year living in that forest when she found a cave on a high ground. The cave wasn’t large, only a few square meters in size, and there were claw marks all around it as if scratched by some animal. Initially, she thought it was an animal’s scratching post, but then she realized that wasn’t the case.

That cave was dug out by an animal using its claws, which is why it was in such an ideal location—not on the ground, but on a cliff—and the distance was just within her vertical jump reach.

She didn’t know who had made it, and with her small frame, she probably couldn’t defeat any animal, so she lurked nearby for nearly a month, confirming there were no animals living there before she jumped in to sleep.
