Chapter 530: The Wolf’s Gift (3)_1
Eventually, there was no other choice, and Shu Jiao could only say that she would ask for an extra copy for Zhao Li when Ruan Jiaojiao’s brother went to school to get backups the next day. It was only then that Zhao Li somewhat reluctantly left.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been silent throughout the ordeal, but inside, she harbored a suspicion. It seemed very much to her like something Xiu Xi would do.
After Zhao Li had gone, she dashed upstairs to check Xiu Xi’s room.
She seldom entered Xiu Xi’s room because most of the time, he came to play in her room. Today, she was surprised to discover that his desk was locked!
The desk had been purchased with the private savings he had set aside, and she remembered clearly that the drawers of this desk didn’t have locks!
Ruan Jiaojiao circled the desk, her curiosity piqued. Why was it suddenly locked?
What kind of secrets could that silly Wolf Eye possibly have?
Her puzzlement continued even after taking a bath. The silly wolf still hadn’t returned, but since the family was well aware of his capabilities, they weren’t worried and shut the doors at the usual time.

Shu Jiao came upstairs to help Ruan Jiaojiao tidy up the gifts. She kept her company for a while and seemed hesitant to speak as she was leaving, but Ruan Jiaojiao was still preoccupied with thoughts of the silly wolf’s locked desk and didn’t notice her unease.
By seven in the evening, the sky had gradually darkened.
Ruan Jiaojiao was getting impatient. With a huff, she thought about not giving him a gift for his next birthday. She then climbed onto her bed, grumpily, and squinted her eyes, preparing to sleep.
