Chapter 887: Little Fatty’s Hellish Life (2)
Ruan Jiaojiao was indeed sleepy, and without insisting on staying up, she went to her room and lay down. However, after lying down, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she might have had something to do when she went out, but then again, maybe not. In the end, she fell asleep still wrapped in that confusion.
The next day.
When Ruan Jiaojiao got up, the other members of the Ruan Family were already awake. The Ruanlin Family had gone out early to buy fried dough sticks and pancakes because the kitchen wasn’t cleaned up yet and couldn’t be used, so they had to buy breakfast outside. It was also an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the neighborhood.
Ruan Jiaojiao got up later than Ruan Jie. Her school was now very close to home, so she didn’t need to ride with Ruan Jianguo’s car; she could reach the school within less than ten minutes on foot.
Ruan Jie had already finished breakfast and was preparing to go back to school with Shu Jie, as the monthly break was ending.
As he passed by the stairwell, he kicked a metal box hidden behind a column on the stairs. The box tumbled down the steps until it reached the bottom, and from inside, a very peculiar object rolled out.
It looked like a stone but not a stone, and like a gemstone but also not quite right. He stepped on it and muttered skeptically, "What is this thing? It’s so hard. It almost looks like a tooth?"
Just as he finished speaking, Xiu Xi, who was sitting across from Ruan Jiaojiao eating breakfast, immediately lifted his head and looked at what was under Ruan Jie’s foot, his face instantly turning sour.
He approached with an air of hostility, surprising Ruan Jie who took a step back due to the height difference.
"Xiuxi... What are you doing?" he asked, trying to sound imposing while staring at the discontented Xiu Xi.
