Partner?

Xiu Xi looked at her.

After musing for two seconds, he answered, "Not sure if it counts."

"What do you mean not sure if it counts? There is either a partner or there isn’t one," Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him confused.

"Don’t know." At least he felt that in that forest, they were the only ones with intelligence, different from the others, so perhaps they could be considered partners.

Before seeing her, those animals were merely food in his eyes and didn’t catch his attention.

The only thing he was interested in was seeing her in the forest.

A cat, yet possessing a human soul.

Out of curiosity and interest, he started paying attention. Who could have imagined he’d end up sacrificing his lifetime’s worth of cultivation for her?

"Alright then," Jiaojiao nodded, not pressing him further.

She thought to herself that he probably failed to win over a she-wolf but didn’t want to lose face, so he claimed to be unsure.

She wore an understanding expression, patting his shoulder in comfort, "It’s okay, you can find a partner here, but it’s different from there. We need to be over 18 before we start looking for one."

"Hmm." Xiu Xi looked at her again. He had read books; he knew the rules of this world, that one must be an adult at eighteen before finding a partner.

"So should I keep calling you Brother Xiu from now on?" Jiaojiao asked again.

"Hmm." Xiu Xi nodded.

"Hey, it still feels so magical." Ruan Jiaojiao chuckled, circling around him. The sadness and heartache that had been caused by Shu Jiao had long vanished, leaving only amazement.

Xiu Xi didn’t expect her to be so happy about him being a wolf; her eyes even lit up with delight.

He wanted to tell her that he was happy too, but Ruan Jie outside didn’t want to give him a chance, slapping the door with a series of loud knocks, "Xiu Xi, Jiaojiao, why aren’t you out yet? Hurry up, Xiu Xi, are you not going to school tomorrow?" He didn’t even call him Xiaoxi anymore, directly calling him Xiu Xi.

The other boys were also calling out, "Xiu Xi, come out here! What are you doing staying in my sister’s room?"

"Yeah, come out, you little rascal!"

"..."

"Ratatat..." More urgent knocking ensued.

Seeing how impatiently they were knocking, Ruan Jiaojiao had no choice but to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, several boys swarmed in, their eyes scanning over the two like radar, eventually settling on Xiu Xi as they asked in unison, "What are you guys doing? Why is the door locked!"

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled playfully, tilting her head coquettishly at one of the boys, "We weren’t doing anything. I’m going to take a shower now—is there a kindhearted brother who can help me pack my backpack, pretty please?"

How could it not be okay?

Little Fatty was the first to shout, "Sure, sure, sure, sister, you go ahead. I’ll pack it for you," afraid that someone else might snatch the opportunity away.

The other boys, who didn’t win the race, looked at Little Fatty with a tinge of regret and annoyance at his ability to curry favor and ingratiate himself.

Seeing that he had agreed, Ruan Jiaojiao bounced down the stairs.

Not until her figure had disappeared did the other boys snap back to reality, feeling a bit annoyed with themselves for being so easily fooled. It was bad enough to be hoodwinked, but they didn’t even get the chance to be the one tricked! Little Fatty had snatched it away from them.

In the end, they could only vent their frustration by turning their attention to Xiu Xi.

Several pairs of eyes fixated on him simultaneously—it was genuinely a bit frightening.
