Xiu Xi, who had been silent beside them, flickered his gaze for the first time. He did not protect Ruan Jiaojiao as usual but instead, somewhat guiltily, averted his eyes, and his ear tips also turned red.
However, the Ruan Family's attention was not on him at that moment, so no one noticed.
That night, whether it was because of persistent thoughts during the day leading to dreams at night, Ruan Jiaojiao dreamt again of Ruan Qun's death. This dream was different from the last one; she saw Ruan Qun as if he was following someone. The person in front was walking quite fast, and he was trailing behind, desperately trying to keep up. He even fell once, but quickly got back up and chased after the person, shouting something.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't hear what he was saying; she could only try hard to decipher it from the shape of his mouth.
It seemed to be a double-syllable?
