Chapter 1091: Starting High School (5)
Xiu Xi’s response was somewhat abrupt, and as soon as his words fell, everyone’s gaze turned towards him.
"What does this have to do with you?" asked Lu Zishu.
Ruan Lei stared at Xiu Xi. He wasn’t a kid in his teens anymore, and quite a few of his buddies had found girlfriends. If he claimed he hadn’t noticed anything over the years, it definitely wouldn’t be true.
But he didn’t expect Xiu Xi to have such guts, to dare to say it directly.
He had to remember his sister was only twelve years old. Wasn’t he afraid the nine brothers would beat him to death?
Well, they might not be able to beat him, but wasn’t he being just a bit too brazen?
Sharing Ruan Lei’s sentiments was Ruan Jianguo, who, upon hearing Xiu Xi’s words, wished he could glare a hole through Xiu Xi. Sorry, he didn’t remember any of the reasoning Shu Jiao had analyzed with him; all he felt was that this kid made his teeth itch with anger.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t think much. She knew that, so far, he saw her as the only companion in this world, so she thought they’d surely live together like this in the future. She felt he was still young and hadn’t yet grasped certain emotions. Maybe later on, when he meets his right person, he’ll understand.
"Mom, Jiaojiao’s still so young, it’s too early to talk about these," said Ruan Jianguo, frowning.
"Yeah, Grandma, it’s still early," Ruan Lei added, making one last stand.
The response from the Ruanlin Family was to serve Xiu Xi a bun, saying sweetly, "Eat more."
Xiu Xi nodded, used his hand to tear off the skin of the bun, split it open, and took out the pickled cabbage to wrap in the bun skin, passing it to Ruan Jiaojiao.
Raised so delicately, Ruan Jiaojiao became a bit picky, eating only the bun skin, and it paired even better with pickled cabbage. Eating dumplings, she preferred the skin, so usually, Xiu Xi would separately pick these out for her to eat.
