Chapter 1143 Fear of Death (4)
However, there were not many people along the way, so no one noticed.
Xu Xu and Rou Rou followed behind her, not too close, not too far. Xu Xu clenched his fists tightly, and it took almost all his strength not to go up and pick her up.
The sky was extremely beautiful in the summer evening, with sunset clouds filling the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.
Ruan Jiaojiao walked very slowly because of her leg pain. She raised her head while walking, as if attracted by the beautiful scenery of the sky, but no one knew that she was just stopping her tears from falling.
Ruan Jiaojiao could not accept the possibility that she could die at any time.
She even had to be very careful when eating, for fear that she would choke to death if she took a mouthful of rice without paying attention. She even dared not use force when breathing or crying, for fear of death!
She was afraid of death... but she had to be cautious even when afraid of death.
When Ruan Jiaojiao walked out of the street where her home was, the sky was getting darker and darker. There
were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and only occasionally a few people hurried past Ruan Jiaojiao in order to get home earlier. They did not notice Ruan Jiaojiao's abnormality and naturally did not stop.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know how long she had walked. She only felt that her injured leg seemed to be numb, so she slowly stopped and sat down on the side of the road.
She glanced at the three people and one wolf following her from a distance.
If it were normal, she would definitely not ignore it, nor would she be so willful.
But today, she really had no time to care about so many things.
The summer floor was still hot and not cold. After Ruan Jiaojiao sat down, she rested her head on her knees and stared blankly in one direction.
Xu Xu and Rourou came over from behind and sat down on both sides.
Xu Xu did not expect Ruan Jiaojiao to pay attention to him, he just wanted to accompany her.
But Ruan Jiaojiao spoke unexpectedly, and her voice was calm after settling down. She tilted her head and looked at the boy whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter in the night, as if she saw the wolf lying outside her cave guarding her many years ago.
At that time, she never thought that he was guarding her deliberately, she just thought it was a coincidence.
Thinking back to the things she couldn't see clearly before, Ruan Jiaojiao realized how stupid and ridiculous she was.
A wolf with ten thousand years of cultivation, a cat who is nothing, but arrogant enough to think that she can snatch food from the wolf's mouth, who knows who gave her the face to be so self-righteous.
"Brother Xu..." She sighed, met his focused gaze as always, and asked the question that had been bothering her since she knew the truth: "Why? Why are you so good to me, and want to defy the will of heaven and send me back."
Is it worth it?
Ruan Jiaojiao asked herself, will there be such a selfless day, destroying her ten thousand years of cultivation in an instant, and saying no, the answer is naturally no.
"I don't know." Xu Xu answered.
He didn't mean to hide it. He once told Ruan Jiaojiao that as long as she asked, he would never hide anything. It was like this before, and it is still like this now.
He himself didn't know.
But his "selflessness" was only for her. If it was for someone else, it would be absolutely impossible.
Sometimes he would think that maybe he really owed her a debt in his previous life, so he couldn't bear to see her unhappy or unhappy.
Ruan Jiaojiao stared at him blankly, and her tears had stopped flowing a long time ago, as if they had dried up.
