Chapter 16 The Heroine Appears (8)
But now, seeing her sitting there peeling an egg, the egg white was white and plump, and it looked delicious, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
She had eaten a leftover sweet potato for lunch, and it was as small as it could be. Now, after all this, she was extremely hungry. She looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to her, then she stood up and slowly walked towards Ruan Jiaojiao.
Ruan Jiaojiao was lowering her head and peeling eggs seriously. She was hungry after walking so much, so she peeled the eggs very quickly. When she was about to finish, she felt a shadow suddenly cast in front of her eyes.
She raised her head and saw Wu Yiting's deliberately flattering smile.
"Jiaojiao, are you eating eggs?" She was deliberately chatting her up, as if the previous unpleasantness had instantly disappeared.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, looked at her, and silently asked: What else?
"Is it delicious?" Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao didn't answer, Wu Yiting asked again. Her hunger and desire for eggs made her forget the shame of not getting the plums to eat before.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao was speechless. She peeled off the last bit of the eggshell and split the egg into two. Under Wu Yiting's excited eyes, she directly avoided her hand that was stretched out to take the egg and walked towards Ruan Qing who was not far away.
"Xiaojiu, eat the egg." Ruan Qing was digging a bamboo shoot. He looked at Ruan Jiaojiao when he heard the voice. His eyes fell on her hand. Although he wanted to eat it, he still refused: "Sister, eat it yourself. Brother doesn't want to eat it." After a pause, he corrected her in a very serious tone: "Sister, you have to call me brother, not Xiaojiu."
Although he was only seven years old, Ruan Qing was determined to protect his rights as a brother.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't waste time talking to him and directly stuffed the egg into his mouth.
As soon as the fragrant and soft egg was stuffed into his mouth, the young Ruan Qing had no resistance at all and finished it in a few bites. His eyebrows were raised with joy, and he said in a docile manner: "Forget it this time, don't do this next time. This is for my sister to replenish her body, don't give it to my brother."
He swallowed the egg in a few sips, licked his lips with some satisfaction, and glanced at Wu Yiting with a face almost curled up behind her. He was a little surprised and asked Ruan Jiaojiao in a low voice: "Tingting, what's wrong? Did you have a fight?"
Ruan Jiaojiao ate the eggs in small bites while looking in the direction he was looking at. She answered nonchalantly, "I don't know."
Wu Yiting overheard the conversation between the two and her face turned red with shame. She couldn't hold it back any longer and yelled at Ruan Jiaojiao angrily, "Ruan Jiaojiao, you bad boy, I will never play with you again!" After
yelling, she ran away with red eyes and tears in her eyes. She looked as if she had been bullied by Ruan Jiaojiao.
"Hey, Wu Yiting, what do you mean by that? My sister is so well-behaved, how can she be bad?" Although Ruan Qing was young, he knew how to protect his sister. When he heard this, he got angry and dropped the spring bamboo shoots that had not been pulled out yet, and stood in front of Wu Yiting to question her.
Now Wu Yiting really started crying.
"Why are you crying? I didn't bully you." Ruan Qing frowned and looked at her.
He was only a few months younger than Wu Yiting, but he was much taller than her. Now seeing her suddenly crying, he felt speechless. It was obviously she who yelled at her sister, and he hadn't said anything yet, so why did she start crying first? It was just like grandma said, only my sister is lovely in this world! Other girls are so troublesome.
