Chapter 2192: Lu Meng (4)
"Well, this... I don’t know either. Maybe my brother said it? My brother wakes up really early now. It’s like he doesn’t need sleep, getting up before dawn every day. Maybe it’s him. But even though he gets up so early, my mom doesn’t let him do anything serious. She insists on dragging me to the market, claiming live fish are fresher and that they must be wild..." Lu Zishu was a bit resentful talking about it.
Yesterday was Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday, and the group didn’t disperse until midnight. He got home, took a shower, and was busy until around one o’clock before sleeping. By morning, he was awakened before six, not even getting five hours of sleep. Zhao Li grabbed him to take her to the market in a dazed state.
Clearly, he wasn’t the only one at home. Lu Xian got up early too, but with nothing serious to do. He just wandered aimlessly with his suddenly moody nephew but never asked Lu Zishu to drive them. Yet, he insisted on waking him up to act as a chauffeur!
Covering his mouth, he yawned, "Auntie, I’ll go back to sleep first."
"Alright, go ahead." Shu Jiao nodded.
Watching Lu Zishu’s staggering figure as he walked away made her increasingly anxious.
This matter seems truly related to Lu Xian, but it appears the Lu Family isn’t aware either. Shu Jiao really couldn’t figure out what happened to make Ruan Jiaojiao so distraught.
With a troubled mind, Shu Jiao didn’t go to the hotel but instead stood at Ruan Jiaojiao’s door for a while. Finally, she couldn’t hold back and took out her phone to text Duan Xi, asking him to come out.
Duan Xi saw the message, replied "okay," but didn’t rush out. Instead, he continued to keep Ruan Jiaojiao company.
Ruan Jiaojiao had fallen into a mental trap, believing she caused Lu Xian’s death, placing all the blame on herself and unable to forgive herself.
After she cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep, Duan Xi carefully exited the room.
However, what he didn’t know was, as soon as he left, Ruan Jiaojiao opened her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling. Beside her, Xiaobai looked at her in surprise.
"Xiaobai," Ruan Jiaojiao called, her voice raspy.
Supporting herself on the bed, as if to sit up, Xiaobai quickly slipped its tail under her back and curled a pillow there to support her. Once she was settled, it stretched its tail to grab a towel from the side, properly wiping her little face, flicking its tongue: "Hiss hiss hiss..." Little Cutie, just say it, say whatever you want! As long as you don’t shed any tears, make the snake do anything!
Ruan Jiaojiao pushed away its tail wrapped around the towel, her eyes bloodshot: "Do you know any way to resurrect someone who has died?"
"???" Xiaobai tilted its head.
What does this mean?
"You see, last time I was dead, and then a master allowed me to temporarily reside in the body’s cat, later I came back to life, didn’t I? Now someone is like that, I want to rescue them. If it requires some fortune, I have it, I’ll use all of mine. In the past, Qian Xiabai even said I was a person of great luck..."
"Hiss hiss hiss..." Little Cutie, I don’t have that ability.
Xiaobai spread its tail helplessly, indicating if it had such power, it’d rather die and be reborn as a human than continue to be a fat snake! It even had to sneak out to meet her, only able to visit when night was quiet.
