The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1843: Silent Night, Burlap Sack (Part 1)

Duan Qianyang’s car wasn’t being driven for the first time; a few days ago, Duan Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao had taken it out for a drive. On the passenger seat, there was a teddy bear that Ruan Jiaojiao particularly liked.

As soon as she got in, she hugged the teddy bear tightly, tugging at its ears and tail, and asked Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, haven’t you noticed that Lu Zishu seems to have a crush on Xin Miao? Trying to get Miaomiao’s attention, so childish."

Back in the day, Lu Zishu was immature too, but not to this extent. His mouth was particularly annoying, making people want to smack him.

Xin Miao is a year older than her, and due to earlier issues, her schooling got delayed. Even though she’s sixteen, she’s only in eighth grade now.

Xin Miao somewhat resembles her mother. She looks like a girl from Jiangnan; her appearance is delicate and gentle, and she speaks with a hint of soft dialect. But in recent years, Ruan Jiaojiao has interacted with her more, knowing that because of past events, her personality doesn’t match her appearance, even leaning towards being cold and disinterested in life.

Lu Zishu’s character, put nicely, is carefree. Less flattering, he’s simple-minded. If these two with completely different personalities were really together, who knows if that’s good or bad.

Duan Xi didn’t answer her, and Ruan Jiaojiao knew he usually doesn’t like talking about others, not expecting a response. She was just mumbling, and as for other matters, she didn’t have much energy to spare; matters of the heart should just go with fate.

Ruan Jiaojiao mused for a while, but soon her focus drifted elsewhere.

Qin Yue attended a specialized school located in the suburbs, a somewhat remote area. As the car drove on, it passed through tunnels, small mountains, and several farms.

Ruan Jiaojiao came from Xiahe Village, and after moving to the city, she went back less and less. Although in her heart, as long as the family is happy together, it doesn’t matter where they are. But undeniably, the time they lived in the small courtyard, her brothers taking her up the mountain, down the river, roaming everywhere, was her happiest memory, the one she cherished most.

Unlike now, though life is increasingly prosperous, her brothers gather once a year. But in Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart, there’s still a fear of growing up, a fear of parting, and a fear that, as Shu Jiao said, in the future each will start their own family, and their relationships will become more distant...

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Duan Xi glanced at her, and she pulled her gaze back from the window, tilting her head to ask him, "Brother Xi, I suddenly miss Xiahe Village, do you? I wonder if we’ll ever have the chance to go back for New Year’s."

"No," Duan Xi replied. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Surprised, Ruan Jiaojiao asked him, "Why?"

Duan Xi was silent for a few seconds, resisting the answer until she was about to ask again, and finally said, "Too many embarrassing moments."

When he first arrived in this world, he was too weak and didn’t understand its rules, causing him much embarrassment. Especially at the beginning, this body was so weak he had no choice but to feed on the lowest creatures like mice, and every time she happened to witness it, just thinking about it was embarrassing.

Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t thought of those things, but he reminded her. Immediately, she remembered and couldn’t help but laugh.
