Xiu Xi noticed that both Ruan Jiaojiao and the Ruanlin Family seemed startled by his reaction, and he realized he had overreacted. With his face a bit flushed, he stroked the soft kitten in his arms and explained, "No, it's fine now. I just…" He was just so scared that even the slightest disturbance would make him panic.
The Ruanlin Family saw his hesitation and flushed face, immediately understanding his feelings, and smiled with some empathy, saying, "Alright, if nothing's wrong, let's go inside. No need to stand out here."
With that, they led the way forward, Ruan Hao helping carry the groceries. Xiu Xi cradled Ruan Jiaojiao, with Rou Rou following behind. As they reached the door, the Ruanlin Family suddenly recalled something and turned back to ask, "Xiaoxi, is Jiaojiao the kitten of Sanmao?"
Xiu Xi nodded. When Rou Rou brought back the kitten, he noticed its resemblance and compatibility with Ruan Jiaojiao, which led to what happened next.
