Chapter 1419: Forbidden Arts (7)
The Ruanlin Family prepared a separate pot for Ruan Jiaojiao, Xiu Xi only needed to take it up and boil it.
Duan Xin thought it was going to be some complicated dish, but it turned out to just be boiling a pot. He leaned against the side, bored, watching the servants pick vegetables while chatting with Xiu Xi.
"Do you remember that cheeky guy from last time, the one with the last name Tan?"
"Meow-ga!" I remember, I remember, that shameless guy, what about him?
Ruan Jiaojiao stood above the cooking table and immediately looked at Duan Xin when she heard this. She had forgotten to ask about the follow-up after returning from the hospital last time.
Duan Xin wanted to chat a bit with Xiu Xi, but he didn’t respond at all. However, seeing the little kitten next to him seeming to understand, Duan Xin felt a bit comforted and continued: "His family was investigated within two days, his dad was found to have embezzled public funds and got arrested. I heard he was just promoted in recent years, and this time he really hit a dead end."
"Meow-ga!" He deserved it!
A person with such a deceitful character capable of doing such dark things surely doesn’t have good family education.
Xiu Xi still didn’t speak, he just gently stroked the somewhat agitated Ruan Jiaojiao, soothing her softly: "Don’t get upset."
Ruan Jiaojiao has had three soul separations, Xiu Xi had already consulted that Master. He said her soul was initially guided in, and the greatest taboo would be intense emotional fluctuations, especially fear and terror, which would easily cause her to separate in an unconscious state.
All three of her soul separations were inseparable from the fright she experienced.
The last time it happened, he headed straight to the hospital, but encountered her halfway. After the incident, she forgot everything upon waking up, and even had nightmares for several consecutive nights, constantly kicking her limbs in the air like she was trying to escape something.
Such soul separations deplete her energy and spirit, and if luck isn’t on her side one time and her soul can’t be found, when the day comes, she would end up as a wandering ghost. Hence, the Master suggested she maintain a calm mindset and avoid even too much joy or excitement if possible.
Ruan Jiaojiao also understood her current situation and immediately took two deep breaths, calming her mood after hearing this.
Beside her, Duan Xin watched her human-like actions, his eyelid twitched.
Then he pointed at her and asked Xiu Xi in disbelief: "Why do I feel like she’s practicing breathing exercises?"
"She’s very smart." This time Xiu Xi replied, but his response made Duan Xin feel a bit uncomfortable.
He paused and took two deep breaths himself, not wanting his temper to scare this brother of his. After all, a brother who came after dozens of years, even if a bear, is still a brother and should be cherished well!
After taking a few breaths himself, in case he couldn’t continue the chat.
"And that kid from the Jiang Family, when we played basketball last time, why did I feel like he seemed hostile towards you? Have you two ever had any interactions?"
Since the start of the school year, Jiang Xun’s reputation was well-established in the school because he jumped three grades within three years to high school.
In their social circle, since they come from affluent families from a young age, they generally don’t strive hard in academics, so those with a good family background may not have good grades, those with good grades may not have a good family background, it’s rare to have both, and it’s even rarer to be excellent enough to skip three grades.
