The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2311: Chapter 2311

And the more she laughed, the harder it became; her whole delicate body trembled along.

Jiaojiao lifted her head, laughing heartily, "Brother Xi, you’re not like a wolf at all, you’re like a rabbit."

"A rabbit?" Duan Xi couldn’t see how he resembled that pure yet foolish creature.

Jiaojiao turned around in his arms. Facing each other, Jiaojiao tilted her head up and explained, "You’ve heard of the idiom, ’a crafty rabbit has three burrows,’ right?"

Duan Xi immediately understood what she meant.

To deal with the Ruan Family, he had indeed created one hideout after another.

"Brother Xi, if we don’t go back tonight, do you think Dad and Big Brother will find us?" Jiaojiao asked playfully.

After all, she herself had never thought of this place before.

Upon hearing that, Duan Xi’s eyes lit up, "We can give it a try."

Jiaojiao’s face flushed, and she quickly shook her head, "Maybe not. Tomorrow is Xiaonian, and godmother and Xiaomeng are coming back. It’s better to stay at home."

Speaking of Zhao Li, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Since Lu Xian passed away, Zhao Li returned to her family home, seldom coming back, only occasionally returning to tidy up. Jiaojiao knew she was afraid the surroundings would stir up memories, and she hadn’t seen Lu Zishu and Lu Zhiwei for a long time, over a month since the last time.

Lu Zishu was in his fourth year of college, with fewer classes, eager to grow up quickly and take up Lu Xian’s position, so now he spent all his time in the company with Lu Zhiwei.

Duan Xi knew how much she was hurting inside, so he reached out to touch her back. Jiaojiao shook her head in his arms, deciding not to dwell on it, and closed her eyes to truly rest.

When they returned to the Ruan Family home, dinner hadn’t started yet, but a familiar figure had already appeared in the living room.

Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up instantly when she saw him, "Second Brother!"

She rushed forward and embraced him, "Second Brother, you’re back." Speaking of which, her eyes involuntarily reddened.

If anyone besides the Lu Family suffered the most from Lu Xian’s death, it would be Ruan Jie. Previously, he always managed to come back for a day or two off each month, but since Lu Xian’s passing, he hadn’t returned.

Jiaojiao knew he was deeply affected too.

Though as a man, unlike them, he couldn’t easily express it with tears; he chose to train and fill his schedule to the brim.

Ruan Jie hugged his sister who had jumped into his arms. His always resolute gaze turned soft, his big hand gently stroked her back, "Yes, Second Brother’s back."

Jiaojiao wiped her eyes, not wanting to cry on such a day and making the family worry, so she tried her best to smile and asked, "Is Second Brother back for the New Year? You’re not leaving soon, are you?"

"No, I have a month’s leave this time." Ruan Jie smiled, pinching her raised little chin, "Why do you seem thinner? Haven’t you been eating well?"

"I have not! I’ve always been like this. It’s Second Brother who’s lost a lot of weight, dark and skinny like coal." Jiaojiao feigned disdain.

But in fact, Ruan Jie, being the son of Shu Jiao and Ruan Dakuan, although darker, had impeccable features. Handsome and very manly, he resembled Ruan Dakuan greatly. With his years in the troops, he exuded an uprightness that ordinary men couldn’t compare to.

And soldiers, no matter the era, possess the most masculine charm in the eyes of women.
