Chapter 1028: Xin Miao (6)
He had always been like an invisible man since childhood, often with his head bowed, so later, people barely retained any impression of his eyes.
The Duan Family, without a doubt, was selfish.
With the Duan Family’s abilities, they couldn’t have failed to locate Xiu Xi in the previous life. Perhaps it was just that he wasn’t outstanding enough, so they chose to abandon him. That’s why, in the past life, the little antagonist was left behind and never sought out by anyone.
But in this life, the foolish wolf inherited this body and excelled from beginning to end, which is why they now focus their attention on him.
Jiaojiao found this approach disgusting, but the foolish wolf had inherited this body, and it wasn’t realistic to expect him to completely ignore the Duan Family.
When Jiaojiao snapped out of her train of thought, she saw Duan Qianyang scrutinizing her with knitted brows. She glanced at Xiu Xi and noticed he was handing Duan Qianyang a packet of powder ground from the Lingzhi Xiaobai had found during the winter.
"This can cure you. Mix it with water and drink it," Xiu Xi said, handing a small paper packet to Duan Qianyang.
Duan Qianyang’s complexion retained its sickly pallor, a tone of bluish white. Hearing this, he let out a low cough, covering his mouth with his hand as if trying to suppress the sound. Yet his throat itched too unbearably, and he couldn’t hold it back, his face growing even paler as he coughed.
Jiaojiao watched him for a few seconds, then, unable to bear the sight any longer, walked over to the nearby table. Spotting an insulated kettle, she picked it up, intending to pour a glass of water. But as soon as her hand touched the kettle, Xiu Xi pinned it down with his hand.
"I’ll do it," Xiu Xi said, lifting the kettle and pouring out a cup of hot tea. Thinking she wanted to drink it, he handed the cup over to her.
"..." Jiaojiao tugged at his sleeve and gestured with her lips toward Duan Qianyang, still coughing nearby.
