Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Drowning (2)_1

But even so, her clean and beautiful appearance made her stand out the most in the crowd.

Surrounded by so many brothers, with one carrying her and another hugging her intermittently, she truly seemed like the center of attention, like stars holding up the moon.

Many people quietly scrutinized her, but Ruan Jiaojiao had long been used to it and comfortably nestled on her second brother’s back with taro leaves on her head. Her feet dangled through Ruan Jun’s arms, bouncing along with his stride, which couldn’t have been more comfortable.

Ruan Jie, worried she might be hot, fanned her with a taro leaf.

Such princess-like treatment on her outings was bound to attract attention.

On the way there, they ran into many acquaintances, including the female lead Wa Yiting and the male lead Xiu Xun among them.

Xiu Xun had spotted Ruan Jiaojiao early on and wanted to come over, but when he saw Xiu Xi’s cold eyes glaring at him and the many brothers around her, he thought twice and didn’t approach.

Compared to Ruan Jiaojiao, who was the most pampered by her brothers yet had no interaction with others, Wa Yiting seemed to have more friends. She walked with a few girls of similar age, laughing and playing, appearing to fit in well with the group.

But even as she laughed happily, she couldn’t hide the jealousy deep in her heart, especially when her eyes occasionally turned cold looking at Ruan Jiaojiao.

The incident that occurred previously at the Ruan Family’s building made her dislike for Ruan Jiaojiao deepen, as she believed that it was because of her that no one adopted her.

Now, seeing Ruan Jiaojiao surrounded and cherished by so many brothers made her detest even a single glance at her, and she hurriedly looked away.

The sixth brigade wasn’t far from that river, and after being carried for a while, Ruan Jiaojiao got down to walk on her own. As they approached the river, the boys around her couldn’t contain their excitement anymore.

Their eyes shone brightly, filled with exhilaration.

Ruan Jie asked Ruan Hao, "Big brother, are you going in the water?" In Ruan Jie’s memory, his big brother always liked to keep clean and, as a child, he preferred to sit by a desk reading or doing homework rather than playing in the mud.

He found it hard to imagine his brother, who loved cleanliness and studying, joining them in the muddy pits to catch fish.

Ruan Hao indeed had no intention of going into the water. He had only come because his younger brothers were still little, and his sister had insisted on coming too.

He looked at the eager youngsters waiting for his response and instructed, "Big brother won’t be going in the water. You guys be careful and don’t go into the deep areas. We’ll play for at most two hours, then head back, understand?"

"Okay!" the boys shouted in unison, grabbing their buckets and running off like the wind.

Seeing Ruan Chi sprint with great speed, Ruan Jiaojiao, a bit anxious, tried to follow, but Ruan Hao picked her up in one swoop.

Ruan Hao chuckled and tapped her little nose, "Jiaojiao is a princess, you can’t go."

"Big brother! I won’t go into the water, I’ll just watch from the shore!" Ruan Jiaojiao pleaded anxiously, struggling in Ruan Hao’s arms.

As she looked at the murky river water, the image of Ruan Chi drowning surfaced in her mind, and she grew increasingly frantic. She felt that this might be the exact place where Ruan Chi drowned!

Her struggling became so intense that Ruan Hao could barely hold onto her. Seeing that she was about to cry, he reluctantly let go, but still sternly instructed, "Then you really can only watch from the shore, you can’t go in, got it?"
