Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Severing Ties (1)_1

In the evening, Xiu Xi was able to be discharged from the hospital, and he only needed to come back for a follow-up check in a week. Ruan Jianguo wanted to carry him down, but Xiu Xi refused, prompting Ruan Jianguo to laugh and say, "A half-grown boy already knows how to be shy?"

As he spoke, he turned around and picked up his own Little Jiaojiao, comforting himself, "At least I have my well-behaved treasure to hold."

Ruan Jiaojiao giggled at being teased, gave Ruan Jianguo a kiss, and clung to his neck with her whole heart.

For some reason she didn’t understand, even though she knew she had transmigrated into a book, she felt a natural closeness to the Ruan Family, as if they were her own family.

She especially liked being close to the Ruan Family members.

Her coquettish behavior caused Ruan Jianguo to burst into laughter, and he kissed her back before the four of them left the hospital.

When they returned to the team, it was not yet dark.

Before entering the yard, neighbor Liu Mei was again peeking out from her own hall, but as soon as she felt Ruanlin Family’s gaze on her, she immediately retracted, as if worried about being seen.

Ruanlin Family let out a cold laugh and turned to enter the yard.

"Xiaoxi, if you feel dizzy, go rest in Ruan Jie’s room. Jiaojiao, you can’t bother your brother Xi, Grandma will go cook something delicious." On the way back, she had purposely gone to the market to buy a fresh carp, planning to make some fish soup to replenish Xiu Xi’s body.

"Okay," Ruan Jiaojiao obediently replied.

She turned her head to ask Xiu Xi if he wanted to go sleep in her brother’s room, but Xiu Xi shook his head.

The boys were circling around Xiu Xi, curiously asking all sorts of questions. Xiu Xi wasn’t talkative, so they automatically embellished all the details with their imagination.

The boys practically idolized Xiu Xi, imagining him as a deity who could have any game in the front or back mountains roll to his feet!

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, indeed, the human imagination is unrivaled.

After dinner that night, Xiu Xi slept in Ruan Jie’s room, on Ruan Hao’s bed, which was conveniently available since Ruan Hao was studying in town.

The next morning came early.

Ruan Jiaojiao was woken up by noise.

Half asleep, she seemed to hear Ruanlin Family arguing with someone. Ruan Jiaojiao shivered, instantly woke up, rolled off the bed with a carp flip, and ran outside without even bothering with shoes.

Just as she reached the doorway, she was stopped by Xiu Xi, who had come in.

Somehow he knew she had woken up, came over to take her small hand, sat her on a little stool, squatted in front of her, rubbed the soles of her feet, and then put on her little socks and shoes.

All these actions were done with proficiency.

Ruan Jiaojiao was largely used to his behavior by now and didn’t find it odd. She just tugged at his sleeve, anxiously asking, "Brother Xi, who is Grandma arguing with?"

"Next door," Xiu Xi answered, pulling her up to go to the kitchen.

But Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to go outside to see what was happening, tugging at his hand in the other direction.

Xiu Xi looked at her, "Wash face, brush teeth, eat breakfast."

Rarely did he speak so many words at once.

But Ruan Jiaojiao was anxious. Even though she knew Ruanlin Family was a formidable force and was unlikely to come off worse, she couldn’t help worrying; she had to see for herself and had no time for those trivial tasks.

The two of them stood there, in an impasse between the kitchen doorway and the inner room.

In the end, Xiu Xi couldn’t bear to see her so anxious, relaxed his grip, and let her pull him outside.

There were quite a few people sitting in the outer hall, and all of them were influential in the team, even the Captain had come along, sitting like it was a court case from ancient times, each on one side.
