Chapter 375: Chapter 375 Shu Jiao Almost Drowns (2)_1

Shu Lang gave a meaningful glance before hugging Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms, soothing her and changing the subject, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some fruit first, how about a peach?"

Ruan Jiaojiao clung to his neck and subconsciously nodded along.

There were some things she still only wanted to avoid and couldn’t bear to think deeply about, nor did she dare to.

Clinging tightly to Ruanlin Family’s neck, she whispered softly, "Granny, you will love Jiaojiao, right? You will always love Jiaojiao, won’t you? You won’t abandon Jiaojiao, right?"

Ruanlin Family held her in her arms.

Listening to her ramblings, her heart really felt as if it was soaking in vinegar, so sour she just wanted to cry.

Since that drowning incident, she had realized that Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t feel secure, particularly insecure.

She couldn’t sleep at night without being by her side.

Every now and then, she had to ask several times if she was the one loved most, whether she would be abandoned.

Ruanlin Family always answered patiently, as if nothing had happened, but her heart actually ached to death. If possible, she really wanted to take out her own heart, use it as a soothing medicine for her to swallow, to give her a bit more sense of security!

Perhaps Ruanlin Family’s words once again comforted Ruan Jiaojiao, who calmed down. While Ruanlin Family was cooking, she sat quietly on the side, watching intently without blinking.

Every time Ruanlin Family looked up, she saw her quiet and well-behaved look, and her heart... ached so much that she really didn’t know how to describe it.

After lunch, as usual, Ruan Jiaojiao took her nap. Xiu Xi knew she was feeling insecure, so as soon as she fell asleep, he stayed close by her side, vigilantly watching over her.

Meanwhile, Ruanlin Family was in another room talking with Ruan Jianguo.

Ruan Jianguo had already returned and had learned of the whole story, shockingly astonished.

The three of them talked for a long time in the room until Ruan Jiaojiao woke up from her afternoon nap, and only then did they come out of the room.

Ruan Jiaojiao saw their secretive looks and pretended as if she knew nothing.

But when no one was around, she and Xiu Xi sat on the steps of the backyard, looking at the lush green hills, when she couldn’t help but feel a bit distracted.

Shu Jiao had drowned before.

Shu Jiao brought back an amulet for her.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Shu Jiao, like her, had seen something because of the drowning? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly wanted to bring her an amulet.

This amulet, was it really protecting her?

Or perhaps she didn’t know that this body no longer had its original owner? Thinking that the amulet was protecting the original owner.

It was also today that she found out that the original owner feared water.

And the last time Ruanlin Family was so angry, it was also because she had been near water.

"Brother Xiu Xi..." Ruan Jiaojiao laid her head on Xiu Xi’s shoulder and let out a deep sigh.

If.

If Shu Jiao really knew something.

Then, perhaps... her return would be her doomsday, her doomsday in the Ruan Family.

"Hmm?" Xiu Xi responded softly, waiting for her to continue, but as he turned to look, he discovered that Ruan Jiaojiao had already closed her eyes, tears falling and wetting his shoulder.

Xiu Xi didn’t ask why she was crying, nor did he say anything else. He just grasped the hand beside him, as though vowing, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’ll always be here."

Even if they couldn’t overcome this tribulation, it didn’t matter, whether it be life or death, it didn’t matter; he would stay with her.

——

The next day.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi went to school with a few other kids.
