As soon as he turned his head, he was immediately greeted with a sweet smile.

"..." Xiu Xi turned his head away, still visibly unhappy.

But the little pinky that Ruan Jiaojiao had hooked didn’t pull away.

Ruan Jiaojiao certainly knew what was bothering him; ever since he had seen Xiu Xun in the store, he had been frowning, even though Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t spoken a word to the other person.

They returned home with their pinkies hooked, by the time it got dark. After washing up and brushing her teeth, Ruan Jiaojiao said good night to Grandpa Shu and ran up the stairs to soothe her sullen little friend.

Her friend was sitting at the desk, with a drawer open, looking at something.

As soon as she came in, he immediately closed the drawer and looked up.

Ruan Jiaojiao placed her hands behind her back, tilted her head as she walked in, and in a suspicious tone asked, "Xiu Brother, what are you hiding in that drawer? Why don’t you ever let me see?"

"It’s nothing," Xiu Xi replied, locking the drawer with composure.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

Never mind, her little friend had always been this stubborn and it was his first time being human, so she wouldn’t hold it against him. She should be generous with him.

She took the gift box hidden behind her and handed it to him.

"Xiu Brother, this is for you."

Xiu Xi looked at her in surprise. The corners of his lips, which he had been pursing on purpose, began to uncontrollably curl upwards, bit by bit.

He carefully opened the gift box and when he saw the black pen inside, his originally somber eyes gradually lit up.

She had seen this pen in the mall and, knowing that Xiu Xi was recently practicing calligraphy, had bought it especially for him, using her own allowance. In fact, to buy this pen, she had spent half of her savings.

"Do you like it?" Seeing Xiu Xi holding the pen and just looking without speaking, Ruan Jiaojiao asked.

Xiu Xi looked up at her and nodded emphatically.

It was never about the things themselves that he cared about, but the fact that they came from her!

Ever since he returned to this world, he had watched her slowly becoming surrounded and cherished by more people, even possessed by them, and at times he was so agitated that he wanted to destroy everyone.

But he knew that she didn’t like him doing that.

So he restrained his wild nature, even though he pushed himself almost to the point of madness.

Of course, likewise, whenever he felt on the brink of losing control, she would always appear in time, gently soothing his restless heart and anxious emotions...

Sometimes he truly wondered if he owed her too much in a previous life to be so thoroughly tamed by her in this one!

"Then, if Xiu Brother is happy, can we not worry about Xiu Xun working in the store anymore, please?" Ruan Jiaojiao pulled up a chair next to him and sat down, explaining softly, "Besides, it has nothing to do with Jiaojiao. It was mom and dad who made him come; it has nothing to do with Jiaojiao at all." When it came to passing the buck, Ruan Jiaojiao was quite experienced, doing so without a shred of guilt.

Xiu Xi looked at her, remained silent for a while, then nodded again.

Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao completely relax, patting her little paw, and feeling that her ability to comfort someone was simply perfect!

The day Shu Lang arrived coincided with Ruan Hao’s day off. Shu Lang left for the holiday at the first chance he got, racing over, thinking he had gained an advantage and was over the moon. But as soon as he entered the yard and saw Grandpa Shu, who was sitting there basking in the sun, his joy instantly vanished without a trace.
