Chapter 346: Chapter 346 Firefly (1)_1

Zhao Li, wiping her watermelon-juice-covered mouth, asked curiously, "Ruan brother, where did you buy this watermelon? How come the ones I buy aren’t as sweet?"

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

Uh, this question was difficult to answer. He could only vaguely respond, "Just last time when I went to the city, I saw someone selling them and bought two. If you think it’s tasty, take one home; there’s still one left."

"That would be too embarrassing, only one left; you keep it for your family to eat," she said.

"It’s fine, you always bring things to our place, and we offer you a watermelon, but you won’t accept it. That’s really unnecessary," Ruan Jianguo said as he went inside to fetch the watermelon.

In fact, all these watermelons were delivered by the unusual white worm. It almost delivered one daily without fail. Initially, he was somewhat frightened of the worm because it was huge, but thankfully it seemed to understand humans somewhat. It probably knew they were scared, so it would leave right after delivering the watermelons without lingering.

After observing for a month or so, he gradually got used to the sight of it, and sometimes he even found the creature quite pleasing to the eye.

Since Ruan Jianguo insisted, Zhao Li had no reason to refuse and happily accepted the watermelon.

However, before she left, she held Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms, reluctant to let go, lavishing kisses on her little cheeks, not minding the heat, "Jiaojiao, aren’t you going to visit your godmother? Let me tell you, godmother has a refrigerator at home filled with lots of ice cream and soda; you will love it there."

A refrigerator was truly a rarity in that era. Zhao Li had gone through quite a bit of effort to acquire one. She bought it with the thought of filling it with ice cream, popsicles, and soda, hoping to entice Ruan Jiaojiao to stay at her house for a few days so she could cuddle with the soft and squishy little girl as she slept.

But this lure wasn’t strong enough for Ruan Jiaojiao, and she still declined.

Ever since they moved into the new building, the ice cream vendor would come every three to five days. So whenever she felt like having a popsicle or ice cream, she could have it.

Seeing this, Zhao Li’s disappointment was evident, and she could only leave listlessly.

Nighttime.

Suddenly, there were two electric fans in the house. One was placed in the room of Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin family, while the other was in the room of Ruan Jun and Ruan Jie. Little Fatty, wanting to enjoy the electric fan, also slept over.

Fearing that Xiu Xi might be too hot, the Ruanlin family suggested he join them on the floor in their room, but he declined. As soon as it got dark, he went out to the back hill, nobody knew what for.

But knowing that he was capable, and that the front and back hills were his territory, the Ruanlin family was not worried. They went to bed early with Ruan Jiaojiao to enjoy the feeling of having an electric fan.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t sleepy that day. Her eyelids heavy, she chatted with the Ruanlin family on and off. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a noise that sounded like something falling in the backyard, followed by a gentle knock on the door.

The Ruanlin family knew it was Xiu Xi returning and immediately got up to open the door.

As the door swung open, before the Ruanlin family could get a clear look at him, they saw him rushing into their room with a shiny bottle in hand. She muttered in surprise and locked the door again.

Meanwhile, inside the room.

Ruan Jiaojiao was feeling drowsy when suddenly a figure appeared, cradling a bottle like a treasured item and eagerly handing it to her with anticipation all over his face.

Ruan Jiaojiao, somewhat bewildered, stared at the bottle for several seconds before she could make out what was inside.
