Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Birthday (4)_1 Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Birthday (4)_1 She hurriedly followed behind the plump body out of the house, and upon reaching the backyard, she saw Changchong stretching its body, peeping from outside the fence. Seeing her co out, it happily twisted its big head, hissing as it flicked its tongue.
Ruan Jiaojiao waved at it, signaling it to go back first, because she hadn’t greeted her family yet, and she was afraid of startling Ruan Hao and Shu Jiao.
Changchong cocked its head, looking at her skeptically, not understanding why she was asking it to go back.
anwhile, Shu Jiao had already walked over with confusion, asking, “Who is it, knocking on the back door?”
Ruan Jie, Ruan Jianguo, and the Ruanlin Family exchanged glances, all guessing in their minds; nobody would knock at their back door, only the animals would!
Fearful of scaring Shu Jiao, Ruan Jiaojiao quickly shut the door before Shu Jiao could reach her.
“Jiaojiao??” Shu Jiao looked at her puzzled.
Ruan Jiaojiao stepped forward, holding her hand, and walked towards the main room, saying, “Mom, wait a mont, I have sothing to tell you all first.”
She entered the main room and nudged Shu Jiao towards Ruan Jianguo, then she stepped back two steps to create so distance before she said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, Grandma, brother, Jiaojiao has sothing to tell you.”
… The Ruan Family mbers, none of them spoke, waiting for her to continue.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, feeling suddenly nervous under their gaze, and after a silence of two seconds, she continued, “Jiaojiao wants to introduce a friend to you, I hope you won’t be scared.” She said this while poking her little palm, truly feeling anxious, her gaze constantly on Ruan Hao and Shu Jiao.
Because as it stood, they were the only ones in the family who hadn’t officially t Xiaobai, and she was worried they wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“It’s okay, darling, go on,” the Ruanlin Family encouraged her, “We’re not that fragile, just tell us.”
“It’s, it’s… During this ti, all of our fruits, especially the waterlons, were delivered by them, mostly by Xiaobai. Though it looks a bit scary, it actually has a really kind heart, it doesn’t bite, and certainly doesn’t eat people,” Ruan Jiaojiao said.
“Xiaobai… waterlon…” At this mont, Ruan Jie was almost certain, and exclaid as he got up, “It’s that big python, isn’t it! The white one, so big, so long!” He spread his arms wide, gesturing to his family just how big, how long.
“Yes, that’s the one.” Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, seeing that neither Ruan Hao nor Shu Jiao had spoken, she grew even more nervous: “Jiaojiao wants to keep it, is that okay?” Her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible at the end.
Ruan Jiaojiao now truly wanted to keep Xiaobai; she knew Xiaobai really hoped she would. From the first ti she saw it, it had shown this longing, but back then, she had too many concerns, so she had never considered keeping it close to her.
But these days, thinking about all Xiaobai had done for her, for the Ruanlin Family, she really didn’t want to refuse it anymore.
“Also, the Lingzhi for Grandma was also brought by it, it is also a… a benefactor of our family,” Ruan Jiaojiao attempted to say ‘benefactor’, but rembering it was a snake, she awkwardly adjusted her words.
“So, Jiaojiao wants to repay it, to keep it, is that okay?” Ruan Jiaojiao blinked her eyes hopefully, looking at the Ruan Family mbers one by one: “Is it all right?”
