Chapter 451: Chapter 451 I am the Wolf (1)_1 Chapter 451: Chapter 451 I am the Wolf (1)_1 Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t even bother with feeling sad anymore; she stretched out her paw and yanked him inside before slamming the door shut with a bang.
Ruan Jie, who was about to check on them from the room next door, was dumbfounded, his eyes so wide they almost bored a hole in his own nose on the door.
“Jiaojiao, what are you and Xiaoxi doing in there, and why did you close the door!” Ruan Jie shouted as he pounded on the door.
Inside, Ruan Jiaojiao answered, “We’re talking about sothing, brother, you should go to sleep, you have school tomorrow.”
Because it was really late today, several of the older brothers including Ruan Hao had not gone to school but planned to head there early the next morning, with Ruan Jian/Guo driving them.
“…” Ruan Jie’s eyes were still wide open, not understanding why there was a need to discuss anything with the door closed, and besides, he was her real brother.
However, thinking this in his heart, Ruan Jie didn’t dare to say it out loud; he could only scratch his head and retire to the next room.
In the room.
After pulling Xiu Xi inside, Ruan Jiaojiao directed him to sit on the stool at the vanity table, and she stood in front of him, her large eyes slightly narrowed as she stared unblinkingly at him.
If it were soone else being stared at like this, they might feel a bit uncomfortable, but Xiu Xi didn’t feel any discomfort at all. Instead, he t her gaze as if competing to see whose eyes were bigger.
“Brother Xi, what did you an by the words you just said?” she asked, no longer vague as before; she felt she had nothing to lose anymore.
“It doesn’t an anything,” Xiu Xi replied, quite seriously.
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t want to ask what ‘it doesn’t an anything’ ant.
She changed her approach and asked, “Brother Xi, you said before that you understand animal language, right, that you were born with it, right?”
Xiu Xi nodded.
“Then why do you have that ability?”
“I was born with it.”
“…”
Alright, that was irrefutable.
Ruan Jiaojiao could only try another approach, “Then, Brother Xi, do you rember last ti at the hospital, when I told you I am Ruan Jiaojiao, and you said you knew, what did you an by that?”
Not waiting for him to answer, she continued, “I often told you about the nightmares I had, you rember them, right?”
Xiu Xi nodded again.
“I think those weren’t nightmares but rather a big secret about .”
“Now I am willing to tell you this big secret. Brother Xi, would you exchange it for your big secret?”
“I don’t have a big secret,” Xiu Xi imdiately replied.
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao felt a little tired inside.
She tried to smile, making an effort not to seem too irritated, and continued asking, “Is that so? Then how do you have those abilities, the Xiu Xi from before didn’t have them.”
At those words, Xiu Xi’s expression indeed changed.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes flickered, considering whether to press on with the attack, but then she heard him say, “I am not him, he’s dead.”
“!!!” Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock.
Though Ruan Jiaojiao had long suspected this possibility, hearing it firsthand still left her staggeringly surprised.
It took her a while to process this information, before she asked, “Then who are you?”
This ti, Xiu Xi fell silent once more.
He hadn’t planned on hiding it from her; it was just that he was also afraid she might not be able to accept it.
For the past decade or so, he hadn’t dared to truly appear in front of her. Wasn’t it all because he was afraid of scaring her?
“Brother Xi? Aren’t we best friends?” Seeing that Xiu Xi wasn’t talking, Ruan Jiaojiao pretended to be aggrieved, pouting her little mouth in a sad little display.
