Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Déjà Vu (3)_1

Ruan Jiaojiao was especially familiar with this expression of his.

Every time he gave her something or brought her the money from his hunting spoils, he would have this look, as if he was just waiting for her praise.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt a mix of sourness and warmth in her heart.

Then she thought of the way he had just bitten the snake to death, and her gaze grew somewhat obscure.

The two monkeys had witnessed Xiu Xi’s ferocity and didn’t dare to linger, so as soon as it was safe on the ground, they took off, chattering as they ran, and Changchong disappeared with a whoosh.

Several eagles circled from afar, as if they wanted to approach Ruan Jiaojiao but were wary of something. In the end, they still didn’t come nearer and flew away with a flap of their wings.

"Xiu brother, you..." She didn’t know what words to use to describe her feelings, and for a moment she was silent.

Xiu Xi looked at her, his eyes filled with confusion, as if asking why she didn’t finish speaking.

"It’s nothing." In the end, Ruan Jiaojiao said nothing. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let’s go back."

"Okay." Xiu Xi took the handkerchief from her hand, wiped his face roughly, and then stuffed the handkerchief into his own pocket.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t mind.

The two of them returned home in silence.

On the way back, Ruan Jiaojiao was lost in thought.

If before she was only suspecting, now she was almost certain that this little antagonist was definitely not the same one from her memory. It’s just that she couldn’t be sure what exactly had happened to him.

Had he been reborn? But then lost interest in the female lead?

Or—like her, had his soul been directly replaced?

She began to think back to the first time she met the little antagonist. It seemed that from the moment they first met, he liked to stare at her, as if he could never get enough.

At first, his gaze was exploratory and carried a hint of sharpness.

Later, his eyes gradually became warmer.

She had previously thought it was because their relationship was improving and, just like the book described, he had a special affection for those who had shown him kindness. But now that she thought about it, it didn’t make sense.

At the Ruan Family, she was the one eating without contributing; the one who was truly good to him was not her, but the original owner’s grandmother.

It didn’t make sense; he was indifferent to everyone in the Ruan Family, yet he was exceptionally good to her?

Why was this?

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t figure it out.

She remembered that ever since she met this little antagonist, he didn’t seem to talk much. At first, she assumed it was because he was naturally aloof and concise with words, but after spending several months with him, she felt another possibility was more likely.

Maybe he simply didn’t know how to speak well rather than being cold by nature.

After all, lately, he had been speaking more and more, and his speech was becoming more fluent.

But that wasn’t right either. Even if she was an animal turned human, she never had any trouble speaking; from the start, it was as if she was born with the ability. And many tasks she undertook seemed to be well within her grasp...

However long the walk back was, that was how long Ruan Jiaojiao pondered, but even after racking her brains, she didn’t dare ask Xiu Xi a single question.

—

When they arrived back at the Ruan Family home, the Ruan Family members were still not back. Ruan Jiaojiao went to fetch water, urging Xiu Xi to brush his teeth quickly. The snake lived in a cave; who knew how dirty it was? How could he bite it to death with his teeth?

Xiu Xi watched her buzzing around like a little bee, his gaze gentle, and brushed his teeth following her instructions.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat on a small stool, resting her chin in her hands, just watching him.
