Chapter 2251: Chapter 2251
Duan Xi opened the door and only caught the afterimage of her disappearing at the doorway. When he turned his head he saw her fluffy slippers still left by the sofa. The corner of his mouth hooked up; he went to double-lock the front door first, made sure all the doors and windows were closed, then came back to the sofa.The phones belonging to him and Ruan Jiaojiao were lying side by side on the table. He picked them up to check the time, then not only pressed the power button to turn them off, he even pried out the batteries, put both phones into the drawer, and only then picked up the slippers by the sofa and went back to the bedroom.
In the bedroom.
Ruan Jiaojiao had already burrowed under the quilt. She was pricking up her ears to listen for any movement; as soon as she heard the doorknob turn, she immediately squeezed her eyes tightly shut.
But the thing she’d imagined didn’t happen, and the room stayed completely silent.
She couldn’t help opening her eyes again, peeking out at the outside world through the thin quilt.
With the heating on, the indoor temperature could reach around thirty degrees, so the quilt they used was very thin, the kind that let light through.
But when she looked outside through the thin quilt, she couldn’t see anything at all.
Where did he go?
Ruan Jiaojiao was puzzled.
Puzzlement plus holding her breath—her hand had just lifted the quilt when she heard a teasing voice from behind her: "Not hiding anymore?"
"Xi-gege? How did you—"
Before she could finish, her little mouth was blocked.
For the time that followed, Duan Xi didn’t give Ruan Jiaojiao any chance to talk. He treasured the time so much he was unwilling to waste even a single second.
All Ruan Jiaojiao could do was sink and float with him; she couldn’t think at all.
As for everything Shu Jiao had told her, she didn’t remember a single bit of it.
That night was destined to be a night full of love—
Ruan Jiaojiao had a dream.
In the dream she was back in the forest. In the forest she was still that little kitten she’d been at the beginning, and Duan Xi was still that wolf from back then.
