Chapter 1087: Starting High School (1)
"Brother Xiu?" Jiaojiao’s little face was buried in the blanket. After a long pause without hearing a response from Xiu Xi, she suspiciously lifted her head, only to see his face looking unpleasant. The way he looked at her carried an indescribable sense, like the pitiful feeling of being abandoned by the whole world in an instant.
Jiaojiao’s heart suddenly twitched in pain.
She couldn’t care about being shy; she climbed out of bed, grabbed his hand, and looked up at him: "Brother Xiu, what’s wrong with you?"
"You don’t need me anymore, and we’ll never be best friends again." Xiu Xi said, his tone not a question, but a statement, filled with sadness.
This gave Jiaojiao a feeling like she was a worthless cat abandoning a little companion.
She hurriedly explained: "Brother Xiu, you misunderstood, I didn’t mean that. It’s just... that... it’s a very private matter, mom and grandma will help Jiaojiao with it, Brother Xiu, you don’t need to..."
"We are best friends, what’s so private that can’t be said."
"..." Jiaojiao frowned, speaking like this wasn’t wrong, but she always felt something seemed off.
"From now on, I’ll do it. We are best friends." Xiu Xi said.
"..." Jiaojiao.
Seeing Xiu Xi’s expression of having the matter settled like this, Jiaojiao really didn’t know how to refute. She always remembered that this little companion only had her in this world, unlike her, so she couldn’t let him feel lonely.
