The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s
Chapter 972: The Whole Family Takes the Train (8)

Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips secretly and then withdrew her gaze. The train hadn’t started moving yet, and there was still some time. She could enjoy the fresh air a bit more. Once the train started, she would have to close the window to avoid the cold.

The mother and daughter duo on the other side also seemed to have realized that this family wasn’t one they could fool. After being rushed off the bed, they didn’t dare to make any further fuss and simply sat down in the aisle.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t have much of a cleanliness obsession, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable using a blanket that others had covered themselves with, so she climbed into the upper bunk of the Ruanlin Family. The bed, which had not been slept in, still had its bedding neatly arranged.

And Xiu Xi was on the upper bunk across from her.

The Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao each took a lower bunk.

Shu Jiao instructed Ruan Jiaojiao to finish her milk quickly and then go to sleep early before lying down herself.

At this time, Ruan Jianguo from the next compartment came rustling over.

He and Ruan Jie were on the upper and lower bunks of the next compartment. Ruan Jie was already asleep on the upper bunk, but Ruan Jianguo was restless and sneaked over to find Shu Jiao, hoping to sit with her for a while, but Shu Jiao was too tired for conversation and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Ruan Jianguo, with his large frame, huddled by the side of her bed, whispering for about ten minutes until the train began to move. Only then did he reluctantly stand up from the side of the bed, and upon seeing Xiu Xi sleeping above Shu Jiao, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xiaoxi, why don’t you go to the other side and sleep with your brother Jie?" He patted Xiu Xi’s shoulder as he asked.

Xiu Xi was lying on his side, facing Ruan Jiaojiao, and his gaze was fixed on her. He didn’t refuse but simply pointed towards Ruan Jiaojiao, the message clear: he wanted to stay by Ruan Jiaojiao’s side.

Fortunately, this time Ruan Jianguo had enough self-awareness not to suggest that he would keep watch instead, and he silently turned around to head back.

Resulting in the woman who had just jostled for a spot grabbing his wrist in the aisle. The woman, in her thirties or forties with some charm, grasped Ruan Jianguo’s wrist and smiled at him, her voice deliberately coquettish, "Big brother..."

"Who’s your big brother!" Being suddenly grabbed by a woman’s wrist, especially in front of his own wife, even if she might not have seen with closed eyes, startled Ruan Jianguo so much he almost jumped.

Showing no inclination to be gallant, he forcefully shook off her hand, with so much strength that the woman’s hand slammed into the bed’s headboard.

The woman howled in pain, apparently not anticipating there to be a man in the world so lacking in chivalry. She looked at Ruan Jianguo with a face full of grievances, her whining growing progressively more coquettish.

Ruan Jianguo felt the goosebumps rising.

And naturally, Shu Jiao on the side had already opened her eyes, watching them with a cold gaze.

"Wife, it’s not my fault, she’s the one who grabbed me," Ruan Jianguo immediately professed his loyalty upon seeing her reaction.

Shu Jiao’s expression remained stern as she sat up.

She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and used the hot water from her thermos to wet it, then gestured for Ruan Jianguo to come over.

Ruan Jianguo hurried over and crouched before her, aggrieved, "Wife, you have to believe me, it really wasn’t my fault; that woman just grabbed me."

Shu Jiao wasn’t blind and had seen everything. Still feeling upset inside, she took his large hand and wiped it vigorously with the wet handkerchief.

Ruan Jianguo endured the pain without a peep, only seeking to placate Shu Jiao, "Wipe some more, wipe some more, it’s too dirty, too disgusting."
