Chapter 1144 Fear of Death (5)

Ruan Jiaojiao sighed again.

She retracted her gaze, looked up at the stars above her head, and murmured: "Grandma said that after a person dies, they will turn into stars and look at their loved ones from above. Brother Xu, you said that after I die..."

"You won't die!" The moment Ruan Jiaojiao said the word "die", Xu Xu interrupted her coldly: "I won't let you die!"

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him with sore eyes. She blinked, then closed her eyes, and her voice trembled: "I don't want to die either, Brother Xu... I really don't want to die..."

The night was so quiet, and her voice seemed to enter Xu Xu's ears along with the wind. His heart, which was already broken, was now blowing with wind, and it was sore and painful.

Even many years later, when everything was calm, Xu Xu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he thought of her words.

Ruan Jiaojiao was later carried back to Ruan's house by Xu Xu. She fell asleep, and Shu Jie and Ruan Lin dared to show up. When they returned to Ruan's house, the three people who were guarding the house did not go into the room or sleep. When they saw Ruan Jiaojiao being carried back, the three immediately came forward.

"Is Jiaojiao asleep?" Ruan Jianguo walked to Xu Xu's side and asked in a suppressed voice, with deep love and worry in his eyes.

Xu Xu nodded, without stopping, and continued to walk forward with Ruan Jiaojiao on his back, went upstairs, and with the help of Ruan Lin, carefully put Ruan Jiaojiao on the bed.

Shu Jie immediately went to the bathroom, washed a towel and came out to wipe Ruan Jiaojiao's hands and face. Ruan Jiaojiao cried too much and her whole face was a little stiff. When Shu Jie wiped her with a warm towel, Ruan Jiaojiao hummed comfortably.

Xu Xu squatted down beside the bed, untied the lucky rope on her hand, took off the Buddhist beads on it, and replaced it with the lucky rope he had woven himself.

Ruan Lin was applying medicine to Ruan Jiaojiao with a distressed look in her eyes.

Xu Xu tied the lucky rope for Ruan Jiaojiao, then raised his head and said to Shu Jie: "Auntie, from today on, Jiaojiao and I will sleep in the same room."

Shu Jie paused while wiping Ruan Jiaojiao, then nodded and responded with a choked voice.

After cleaning Ruan Jiaojiao, Shu Jie and Ruan Linshi left the room first. Before Shu Jie closed the door, she told Xu Xu to go to bed early.

Shu Lang was still waiting for her outside. Seeing this, he couldn't help but frowned: "Sister, Jiaojiao and Xiaoxu sleep in the same room?"

He was not old-fashioned, but Ruan Jiaojiao was twelve years old, and Xu Xu was fifteen, they were grown men. It was okay for them to sleep together when they were young, but now they were so old, even siblings should not sleep in the same room.

Shu Jie didn't expect him to be guarding outside the door. When she turned around, she hadn't even had time to wipe away the tears on her face, and she was seen by Shu Lang. The expression on Ruan Linshi's face next to her was not good-looking.

Shu Lang's heart sank and he was a little frightened.

What happened to the Ruan family that could make them like this in just one afternoon?

He didn't care about the fact that Xu Xu and Ruan Jiaojiao slept in the same room. He just asked worriedly: "Auntie, sister, what happened? Don't hide it. More people means more strength. Let's think of a solution."

Shu Lang said it sincerely, but Shu Jie was filled with despair. She covered her face and squatted against the wall, crying.
