Chapter 1048: Lantern Festival (3)
Jiaojiao wanted to eat sugar-coated hawthorn, so she couldn’t hold the lantern. She casually handed it to Ruan Jie beside her. Yu Rou glanced at Jiang Xun but didn’t have the courage to ask her cousin to take it for her. In the end, Jiang Xun proactively reached out and took it.
"Jiaojiao, I really envy you. Your brothers are so nice," Yu Rou mumbled indistinctly as she ate her sugar-coated hawthorn.
Jiaojiao beamed and nodded shamelessly. "Yep, my brothers are great. I also have seven cousins and two sworn brothers at home. Each one of them is amazing."
"Wow, you have over ten brothers?" Yu Rou widened her eyes in sheer amazement.
Jiaojiao nodded again. She didn’t have much else, but what she had in abundance was brothers—her most precious treasure, something she wouldn’t trade for anything.
"I’m really jealous of you. I only have one cousin, but..." Yu Rou’s voice lowered as she leaned closer to Jiaojiao’s ear. She glanced at Jiang Xun and, seeing that he wasn’t looking in their direction, continued, "Cousin Jiang Xun isn’t close with us. He doesn’t like us."
Jiaojiao followed her gaze toward Jiang Xun, but just as she did, Jiang Xun happened to glance in their direction as well. Their eyes met unexpectedly.
Jiang Xun’s gaze seemed to flicker with something, as if he wanted to say something, but another person suddenly blocked his view, cutting off their line of sight.
"..." Jiaojiao.
Facing Xiu Xi’s displeased stare, she silently withdrew her gaze.
Beside her, Yu Rou continued talking, "Although Cousin Jiang Xun doesn’t like us very much, he’s pretty nice to Zhou Yun. I’ve seen him helping her with her homework more than once."
"Zhou Yun?"
