The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s
Chapter 303 Recognizing a God Relative (8)_1

It took a whole day for the Ruanlin Family to arrange the new building, and all the belongings were moved into Ruan Jiaojiao’s room.

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t do much else, but she could help pass things around, so she and the little antagonist were busy all day. By evening, she was too exhausted to even think about dinner, and fell asleep with her little head drooping at the dining table.

The Ruanlin Family was both distressed and relieved.

Bending down, she picked her up and took her back to her room, with Xiu Xi following behind carrying a basin of water.

"Xiaoxi, you shouldn’t do these things anymore," the Ruanlin Family said after setting Ruan Jiaojiao down. The children were gradually growing up. Xiu Xi had been staying with the Ruan Family for almost four months; he wasn’t only well-cared for, but he had also grown quite a bit taller. Previously, Ruan Jiaojiao had been half a head taller than him, but now he had not only caught up but was even a few centimeters taller than Ruan Jiaojiao.

However, she wasn’t raising him to serve Ruan Jiaojiao.

Sometimes, seeing how he took care of Ruan Jiaojiao, she felt like she had unintentionally found a child husband for Ruan Jiaojiao.

"I’m willing," Xiu Xi answered, having already wrung out the towel and come over to wipe Ruan Jiaojiao’s face, his movements exceedingly practiced.

"..." The Ruanlin Family.

Well, she knew she was doing something futile, so she simply instructed him not to be too thorough and to come out to eat once he was finished.

Xiu Xi acknowledged her, but his hands continued their slow and gentle motions.

With many people in the Ruan Family, Ruan Jiaojiao’s attention was often divided.

She was no longer the cat that had eyes only for him, so he treasured every moment he spent with her even more.

"Brother Xiu..." Ruan Jiaojiao turned over, her little face toward the bedside, seemingly in a dream. Her mouth moved slightly, and Xiu Xi paused in his movements, staring at her, but Ruan Jiaojiao said nothing more, causing him to look down with a sense of loss.

And in her sleep,

Ruan Jiaojiao returned to the forest once again.

The deep cold of winter, a world blanketed in snow.

She was so hungry that her vision darkened, struggling step by step through the snow, trying to return to her own cave, but her poor sense of direction left her unsure of how long she had been walking; she only felt an overwhelming hunger and could no longer see the path clearly.

Finally,

she collapsed in the snow, the melting snow wetting her fur, making her shiver from the cold.

Huddled in the snow, she curled up, feeling confused and thinking she might freeze to death in this winter.

In a daze, she suddenly felt as though something had picked her up and placed her on its back before running wildly. She moved up and down with the warm body, unable to fall off the ridge of its back as if sucked onto it by some force.

She tried to open her eyes, but it was too cold, and she was too exhausted to manage it.

However, her consciousness lingered.

She didn’t know how long she had been carried on the back before she felt that the body under her stopped suddenly, and then she was placed down with great care.

Warm fur enveloped her.

She struggled to lift her head, her eyes opening a sliver, but all she could see was a pair of green eyes looking at her anxiously...

Those eyes.

Gleaming green...

They seemed similar to someone’s eyes.

With effort, she tried to think, tried to match them to someone’s eyes until finally, she matched them: "Brother Xiu..."

"I’m here." The familiar voice penetrated her layers of dreaming, reaching her ears and allowing her to close her eyes in peace.
