"Nothing." Meeting Jiaojiao's questioning gaze, Duan Xi's expression eased a bit. He shook his head, then glanced at Rou Rou, who was sulking because the TV had shown a photo of her falling down, his eyes not looking very friendly.
Feeling the little knives in Duan Xi's gaze, Rou Rou's wriggling body stiffened. She squinted at him, and when she saw that he was indeed looking at her with cold eyes, she didn't dare make any more trouble. She turned around and went back to Xiaoxue's side to seek shelter.
In the next two days, Duan Xi's direct-PhD spot was finalized. He went to school to do the paperwork, while Jiaojiao lugged a bunch of bags over to the Shu Family, staying three days with Little Potato—who could already call her "big sis"—and with Old Master Shu, who supposedly missed her so much his heart hurt.
September 1st.
