Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Wolf’s Gift (6)_1

Then she saw Xiu Xi turn his head and walk out. Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, then blinked again, still not understanding what was happening, when she heard the sound of the living room door opening. The sleepiness instantly vanished, and without even bothering to put on shoes, she ran out barefoot and saw that Xiu Xi had indeed opened the living room door and was about to head downstairs.

Ruan Jiaojiao hurried to catch up with him.

"Xiu Brother, where are you going?" she asked in a low voice, not wanting to wake the two brothers next door.

"The prize, I’m taking it back," Xiu Xi answered expressionlessly, and attempted to continue on his way.

"Why take it back! I’ve already given it away; he brought me a birthday gift at noon today. His parents aren’t nice to him, and life is tough for him—those prizes must be really important to him. I couldn’t just accept his gift without giving something in return, so I gave him mine."

"..." Xiu Xi’s lips pressed tightly together.

"Xiu Brother?"

"I also brought you a gift, your prizes, mine," Xiu Xi said, his tone somewhat resentful.

Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, it took her a long time to digest his words and understand what he meant.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw his greenish eyes in the dark night filled with more resentment, "My parents aren’t good to me, the prizes are very important to me, and I gave mine to you."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao covered her face.

When he put it that way, it was indeed true.

Xiu Xi’s parents have always been unkind to him, and now they had outright abandoned him.

And he had given his prizes to her...

Well, his words were entirely accurate.

But!

"Xiu Brother, don’t be like this. How can you compare yourself with him? He’s an outsider; I need to reciprocate. We have such a good relationship that we don’t need to bother with these formalities, right? Or are you saying that when you give me something in the future, I have to immediately give something back to you?"

"..." Xiu Xi.

He was silent, his expression unreadable.

But Ruan Jiaojiao felt that this expressionless look on his face was very resentful.

She pulled him back to her room, cooing softly, "Xiu Brother, let’s just leave it be this time, okay? I promise you, from now on all my prizes will be yours, and I won’t give them to anyone else."

"..." Xiu Xi.

"Xiu Brother, please? I’m really sleepy. Can we just put this matter to rest?"

"And besides, Xiu Brother, I haven’t even asked you yet. Where’s my certificate? I said I was going to give it to my godmother, but it’s gone. Did you take it? I even noticed that you locked your room’s drawer; is it hidden in there?"

"..." Xiu Xi’s ears turned red in the darkness.

After a long silence, he finally uttered a word, "Yeah."

"Xiu Brother, that’s not nice. I had promised the certificate to my godmother, and you shouldn’t hide it secretly like this," Ruan Jiaojiao sighed, though she didn’t understand why he would want to keep those things.

But she felt that since he was now part of her world, she should teach him how to behave. She had been living off his family for over a decade, hadn’t she?

"Acting like this makes me seem unreliable. If you like them, I’ll give you my certificates from now on, but you can’t just take them secretly."

Xiu Xi was silent for a few more seconds, looking somewhat troubled as he watched her, then he nodded.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him, also feeling rather emotional.

In fact, she had realized long ago that this silly wolf was very stubborn, but no matter how stubborn, all she had to do was make herself the subject of the things he didn’t want to hear.
