The plastic bag was truly tiny. If it were an adult, they could cover the package of puffed rice with both hands cupped together—it would probably yield no more than two small bowls’ worth.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched Ruan Wei’s excited demeanor and, for some reason, felt an inexplicable sense of heartache, particularly heart-wrenching.

When Ruan Jiaojiao came out, Ruan Wei immediately approached her and handed over the puffed rice, "Sister, you eat. Mom just gave this to me."

"Brother, have you eaten?" Ruan Jiaojiao took it from him and asked.

Ruan Wei shook his head, somewhat shyly, "Mom brought this over for me, said she brought it all for me. I wanted to share it with my sister, so I didn’t eat it on the way."

Ruan Wei had left early in the morning and hadn’t had breakfast yet. When he got the bag of puffed rice, he really wanted to eat it. But when he thought of Ruan Jiaojiao, he restrained himself, fearing that once he started eating, he wouldn’t be able to stop until it was all gone, leaving none for his sister.

Now Ruan Jiaojiao truly felt her heart aching for him.

She stood on tiptoes to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling so distressed that she couldn’t find any words to say.

His expectations for Liao Zhaoji were too high; so high that even though he was given just a little bit of puffed rice, he was overjoyed, as if he had gained the whole world.

If she were to tell him at that moment that Liao Zhaoji treated him this way just to snatch him away, what would he think?

Would he be moved and immediately follow her, or... would he feel heartbroken?

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know, and she didn’t dare to say.

She didn’t even dare to tell him that there was now a lot of puffed rice at home. She was afraid that he might draw some comparison and start feeling unhappy.

But Ruan Qun, who had not paid attention from within the house, blurted out as soon as he came out, "Where did this come from? Sister, did you sneak it out from the dairy just now?" By the end, he even made a little expression suggesting he would keep her secret.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Do we have some at home, too?" Ruan Wei immediately asked.

Ruan Jiaojiao could only nod helplessly, "Yes, just so happens someone who pops rice came by, and mom popped some."

"It’s not just some, there are many, many bags," said Ruan Qun.

Because there were many boys in the Ruanlin Family and they didn’t lack that bit of rice or money, the family had popped almost one jin of rice, filling several bags. Two of the bags were for the Lu Family, and another two were to be sent to the high school for Ruan Jun and the others to eat.

"I see," said Ruan Wei, his excitement visibly fading as he lowered his eyes.

Finally, Liao Zhaoji had given him something to eat, and he was truly happy. He wanted to share it with his sister, but the outcome...

Thinking of something, Ruan Wei then asked Ruan Qun where the puffed rice was. After Ruan Qun pointed him in the right direction, he ran to take a look and indeed saw six bags of puffed rice on the Ruanlin Family’s table.

"..." Ruan Wei didn’t want to say anything, and with his head hanging down, he left Ruanlin’s room.

Seeing the bag of puffed rice in Ruan Jiaojiao’s hand, the excitement he had felt before was gone.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know how to comfort him. Ruan Qun scratched his head, completely puzzled, not knowing what he had said to make him suddenly become like this.

Ruan Wei was truly disappointed; he thought Liao Zhaoji had finally started to care for him, and he was eager to share his joy with someone. He didn’t expect it would turn out this way.

Especially when he looked at the clearly contrasting bags, he felt a very bad feeling, but he couldn’t quite specify what it was. Anyway, he just felt very uncomfortable.
