Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Xiaobai Gets Injured (3)

Xiu Xi didn’t say anything, but his complexion looked a bit unpleasant. Just by the scent of the pen, he knew who had given it.

“Little sister, do you know who gave this to you?” Ruan Wei asked Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head. She picked up the fountain pen and examined it, noticing sothing else seed to be underneath it. She pulled it out and saw a sticky note with five words written on it: Wishing you well for the rest of your life.

For so reason, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly thought of soone.

But she felt it was unlikely. Why would he give her a fountain pen?

Shu Jiao also figured out who it was from, since Xiu Xun often did his howork in the store, and she recognized his handwriting. A few days after Xiu Xun had left, Jiang Bin had called the store, indicating that everything was going well, and there had been no contact since then.

She didn’t expect that he would still rember to send Ruan Jiaojiao a birthday gift.

“Now that it’s opened, just keep it. But this gift is a bit too generous. Next ti Mom will ask you for Uncle Jiang’s address, and we’ll send a gift back,” Shu Jiao said to Ruan Jiaojiao.

This fountain pen must be worth over a hundred dollars; it was too expensive. If it had been from Shu Lang or soone else, it would be okay, but Xiu Xun and the Ruan Family weren’t that close; there was no need to accept such a weighty gift.

Shu Jiao didn’t want Ruan Jiaojiao to get involved with Xiu Xun.

But it wouldn’t be nice to return the gift directly, as it might hurt soone’s feelings, so the only choice was to send back an equally valuable gift.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Xi finally looked a bit better, knowing that Shu Jiao ant she didn’t want Ruan Jiaojiao to get entangled with Xiu Xun.

Ruan Jiaojiao obediently nodded. Moreover, she couldn’t use such an expensive pen anyway, so she handed it over to Shu Jiao to put away.

It was past nine o’clock by the ti the gifts were unwrapped. The three adults went downstairs, and Ruan Wei returned ho after enjoying the excitent, leaving only Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi upstairs.

Facing each other in silence, Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to suggest going to sleep, but it was obvious that Xiu Xi had sothing he wanted to say but hesitated. Ruan Jiaojiao could only wait patiently for him to speak. But before he could, there seed to be sothing stirring in the mountains behind the house, and the noise was especially loud.

Ruan Jiaojiao hurried to her room to look, but it was too dark to see clearly. She could only make out several large trees in the backyard shaking violently, as if soone was forcefully shaking them.

“Big brother Xiu, did you call an animal over again?” Ruan Jiaojiao, recalling the gifts Xiu Xi had given before, could only think of this possibility.

Xiu Xi shook his head. After looking carefully and ensuring there was no danger, he said, “It’s Xiaobai fighting.”

“What?” Xiaobai is fighting… with who?

Ruan Jiaojiao looked toward the backyard again, but the night was too dark, and she could barely make out anything, only vaguely seeing what seed like two lumps pressing down on the branches, causing them to creak.

The Ruanlin Family downstairs also heard the commotion. Worried that the noise would wake up the neighbors and Ruan Wei, Ruan Jiaojiao quickly pulled Xiu Xi downstairs.

Ruan Jianguo, hearing such a loud noise, didn’t dare to go out carelessly. He stood behind the door, peering through a narrow gap.

When he saw Xiu Xi coming down, he hurriedly said, “Xiaoxi, go and see what’s happening quickly.”

Xiu Xi directly opened the door. The two lumps that were fighting fiercely in the backyard imdiately stopped. One of them glanced in the direction of the Ruan Family, locking eyes with the green glow of Xiu Xi’s pupils in the dark night, and frightened, it turned tail and ran off.
