Chapter 975: Chapter 975: It’s the Season of Love (1)

Ruan Jie immediately pulled her into his arms, felt her forehead to make sure she didn’t have a fever, and then relaxed, softly coaxing her: "Bear with it for a while. Once Xiaoxi and Grandma get here, big brother will take you out for a walk, and breathing in some fresh air will make you feel better."

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded hastily.

However, once the Ruanlin family and Xiu Xi arrived, the task of taking her out for some air wasn’t his anymore. Xiu Xi amiably took Ruan Jiaojiao by the hand. They first went to the restroom, and then brushed their teeth and washed their faces. After all that, they got off the train together and took in some fresh air on the platform.

Even though the train’s windows would open from time to time for ventilation, Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been cooped up inside for an entire night, was still extremely uncomfortable. Now on the platform, even with cold winds blowing from three sides, she felt an immense relief, as if her mood had brightened alongside the crisp air.

After spending about more than ten minutes outside, Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao returned from buying breakfast, bringing everyone back to the carriage.

Ruan Jiaojiao was short and the train aisle was narrow, so she and Xiu Xi followed behind Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao. Upon reaching the carriage, they first heard a coquettish voice that could make one’s skin crawl: "Brother Xiaojie, what is this? I’ve never seen it before. What’s inside? It’s all white, is it something to drink?"

Then they saw on Shu Jiao’s bed, Ruan Jie sitting by the window looking outside, his eyes filled with urgency, probably searching for them, while beside him sat the daughter from the mother-daughter pair they saw yesterday.

She was tilting her head, gazing at the thermos cup filled with milk on the table with a curious face, and asking Ruan Jie with a particularly shrill voice.

"Milk." Ruan Jie replied impatiently.

Turning his head and seeing Ruan Jianguo returning with Ruan Jiaojiao and the others, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Xiu Xi would lose Ruan Jiaojiao. If it wasn’t for the need to keep an eye on the luggage and the Ruanlin family matriarch, he would have gone out to look for them already.

"You, move aside." Seeing that Ruan Jianguo and the others had returned and the girl beside him still hadn’t moved, Ruan Jie directly ordered her to leave. Like Ruan Jianguo, he had no cells for cherishing women, and didn’t care at all how embarrassed the little girl would feel after his blunt words.

The young girl blushed and got up, sitting alone on a small stool on the other side of the train. However, from the corner of her eye, she still glanced occasionally towards where Ruan Jiaojiao and the others were.

Ruan Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ruan Jie who was happily munching on a large bun he took from Ruan Jianguo, and then at the young girl who was shyly stealing looks at Ruan Jie, a phrase suddenly popped into her mind. How does it go again?

Spring is approaching, and it’s the season for love!

"Sweetie, what are you daydreaming about? Do you want corn or an egg? This is a tea egg, I’ve heard it’s pretty tasty, want to try it?" Ruan Jianguo, truly a man of means, bought several varieties just for breakfast, such as corn, eggs, porridge, meat patties... It was fully equipped, unlike others who were nibbling on dry rolls or hard cornbreads they brought from home.

Ruan Jiaojiao: "I’ll have the tea egg, and I’ll share the corn with mom."

"Alright." Ruan Jianguo nodded and began to peel the tea egg. However, before he finished, another person had already peeled the tea egg and handed it to Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Thank you, Brother Xiu Xi." Ruan Jiaojiao sweetly expressed her thanks, took a small bite, and found it quite tasty, indeed much better than boiled eggs, and she happily ate.
