Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305: The Beloved Cat’s Life (Part 7)
Ruan Jie felt such bitterness in his heart, yet the other brothers didn’t care. As the years passed, their sister grew older. Although they still loved her just as much, she had become a young lady now, so it wasn’t appropriate to be too intimate. They could only watch helplessly as another guy hovered around her every day, which was indescribably sorrowful.
Now, having finally been granted another chance by the heavens, they could be affectionate with their sister again, and naturally, they intended to make the most of it.
Jiaojiao didn’t quite comprehend their feelings. However, she didn’t mind. She thought it might be the inherent bond between siblings that made her body still familiar with such intimacy and even long for it, despite having forgotten them.
She lay on Ruan Jun’s lap, enjoying his gentle massage, occasionally stretching out her little paws for a press. Such an agreeable life was beyond exquisite.
Meanwhile, Shu Jiao composed herself and headed to school. Along the way, many people greeted her. They had also heard about Jiaojiao’s situation and asked with concern. Shu Jiao patiently explained to each one, saying that Jiaojiao wasn’t dead but gravely ill. Now Shu Lang had taken her to Beidu for treatment, which explained Jiaojiao’s absence for the coming months.
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, that was Shu Jiao’s explanation. Upon arriving at the school building, she was specially invited into the principal’s office for a chat, only emerging shortly before class started.
As soon as she came out, she ran into Yang Xiaona, who was waiting outside the door.
Yang Xiaona was still wearing the clothes Shu Jiao had bought her, but her spirit was far from what it was before. Her face appeared slightly pale, probably from lack of rest.
Seeing Shu Jiao, she had been squatting by the corridor, wanting to rush over immediately. But her body issued a red alert at that moment, nearly causing her to collapse onto Shu Jiao.
Shu Jiao quickly caught her.
"Xiaona?"
"Auntie, I heard them say that Jiaojiao isn’t dead. Is it true?" Yang Xiaona clutched Shu Jiao’s hand tightly, as if grabbing onto a lifeline, and asked.
Jiaojiao’s death meant just one less classmate, one less friend, to others. But for Yang Xiaona, it was as if the light in her life had vanished.
She didn’t know how she got through these days. She thought about visiting the Ruan Family, but was afraid. Those painful scenes from Jiaojiao’s funeral were etched deep in her memory, unforgettable for a lifetime, bringing sharp pain whenever recalled.
She’d tormented herself to her current state. Once a robust girl, she’d lost over ten pounds in merely ten days. The clothes Shu Jiao had bought her were now too big, hanging loosely on her frame.
"It’s true, truly, she isn’t dead. She’s still alive." Shu Jiao was pained by Yang Na’s grip, but she didn’t care, feeling incredibly guilty as she looked at Yang Xiaona. With everything happening to Jiaojiao recently, she hadn’t had the chance to check on Xiaona until now.
"Really? Auntie, please don’t lie to me." Hearing this, Yang Xiaona immediately burst into tears, afraid of being deceived.
Shu Jiao felt even more guilty, pulling her into a hug and patting her back. "Auntie isn’t lying to you. It’s true, Xiaona."
"Then, Auntie, can I go see her? I really..." At this point, Yang Xiaona choked with emotion.
