Chapter 33: The Little Villain (1)
Xu Xu looked at the chubby baby who was sticking out his chest and looked righteous, but with a hesitant look in his eyes. He was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and even hummed softly.
This really surprised Ruan Hao.
Ever since Xu Xu's mother died giving birth to her second child, Xu Xu had a stepmother and stopped talking. His temper was also very strange, like a little ghost. Normally, not only children but also adults would avoid him. Ruan Hao didn't expect that he would answer a question he asked casually.
Thinking of Xu Xu's current stepmother, and seeing the mice he was carrying, he was somewhat moved. He walked over, glanced at the quails under his feet, and whispered, "You probably won't be able to eat these if you take them back. If you trust us, how about taking them to our house? We won't eat them, so we'll cook them for you."
If it was before, Ruan Hao wouldn't be so kind, but he had just finished talking to Ruan Jiaojiao about Shu Jie, and he felt a little sympathetic to Xu Xu, so he couldn't help but feel compassion.
Before Xu Xu answered, Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Ruan Hao in surprise.
Thinking of the warmth that Wu Yiting had given Xu Xu, she immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, come to my house, Jiaojiao, let me do it for you!"
She remembered that in the original book, Ruan Hao eventually became a professor, famous all over the country. If he could help Xu Xu, she believed that he would be further away from the path of a villain.
This time Xu Xu did not say anything, but did not object. Ruan Hao put Ruan Jiaojiao down and let her walk in front, then bent down to pick up the quail on the ground. When he saw the mouse in Xu Xu's hand, his mouth twitched and he said helplessly, "Let's not take this."
Xu Xu raised his hand, and several mice squeaked and ran away.
When Ruan Lin returned to the Ruan family, she had won a great victory in the duel with Liu Zhaodi. She was in a very good mood. She was planning to cook something for the children at noon when she saw the two siblings coming back with quails.
Ruan Hao was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "This is for Xiao Xu. Grandma, please help to cook it."
Ruan Lin looked at Xu Xu and saw his thin figure. She quickly understood what Ruan Hao meant. She said, "Ah," and went to the kitchen with the quails to prepare.
Ruan Hao looked at Xu Xu who was still standing in the yard and had not come in yet, and said loudly: "Xiao Xu, come in and drink some water." Xu Xu
still stood in the yard and refused to move, but his eyes were always on Ruan Jiaojiao, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Ruan Jiaojiao tried to look natural, as if she didn't feel those gazes, and chatted with Ruan Hao in a random manner.
Seeing that Xu Xu was unwilling to come in, Ruan Hao didn't force him. He coaxed Ruan Jiaojiao for a while, then went back to his room to read. He was going to high school this summer, and he was determined to go to college, preferably to a good place, so he started reading high school books early to prepare for the entrance exam. Ruan
Jiaojiao's other brothers were playing outside at this time, and the adults were working, so Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu were the only ones left in the yard.
Xu Xu didn't say anything, and Ruan Jiaojiao didn't say anything either. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became quiet.
Ruan Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed. She picked up the large cup with flowers on it and drank a sip of water. When she put it down, she politely asked Xu Xu in the yard, "Do you want to drink?"
She thought Xu Xu would refuse.
But he nodded!
