CHAPTER 1363: CHAPTER 1363: XIN MIAO, FENG NIANIAN (PART 2)

Ruan Jiaojiao felt her reaction was quite odd, as if she was deliberately avoiding eye contact.

She bit her lip, then squatted down to try to level with Xin Miao. She noticed Xin Miao’s eyelids trembling more fiercely, and the hand beside her tightly gripping the quilt, as if she were anxious and scared.

Ruan Jiaojiao squinted, lifted the corners of her eyes with her fingers, stuck her tongue out to one side, and tried to mimic a fierce ghost, then lunged toward Xin Miao: "Whoa..." The fierce ghost attacks, aren’t you scared?

"Very silly, like a fool." Xin Miao finally lifted her eyes but her words were slightly sarcastic.

Her mother behind her heard the commotion and immediately asked, "Miaomiao, what did you say?"

Xin Miao turned back and said, "Mom, I’m hungry, I want Lin to make fish soup."

"Alright, alright, Mom will call home right away and have Lin make it for you." Upon hearing Xin Miao wanted fish soup, her mother was overjoyed and immediately got up to leave.

At the door, she seemed worried and turned back to remind her, "Miaomiao, be good, okay?"

Xin Miao nodded, "Even if I wanted to be naughty, I don’t have the strength."

Her mother thought so too, and finally felt assured as she went outside to borrow the phone from the doctor’s office.

Meanwhile, Ruan Jiaojiao was still questioning her ghostly existence.

She was such a terrifying fierce ghost, yet she was called silly?

Once her mother left, Xin Miao asked, "Who are you, why are you here, are you here to take over my body?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

She coughed awkwardly, squatted down by the bed, shook her head, and said, "I’m not here to take your body. My name is Ruan Jiaojiao, I don’t know why I’m here, perhaps I’m dead..."

As she spoke, Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice grew quieter, the previous sadness flooding back.

Xin Miao frowned upon hearing, feeling as though she’d heard the name before, and looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, she felt like she’d seen her somewhere too.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao’s sad demeanor, despite usually not bothering, she felt an inexplicable pang and spoke, "You’re not dead."

"Not dead?" Ruan Jiaojiao lifted her head, looking at her with surprise.

Xin Miao nodded, looked at her, pointed at her, and said, "I’ve seen deceased souls, not like you. You’re... very strange."

Xin Miao couldn’t remember when she started seeing these things, just knowing that once the entity claiming to be Nianian inside her attempted suicide and failed, she suddenly could see them.

Especially when she was young, she was really scared and always kept her eyes shut tight.

But now grown, she got used to it. Generally, those things were gray and lifeless after death, whereas Ruan Jiaojiao here... glowed all over. If angels existed, she believed they were like her.

As for the fierce look she’d intentionally put on to scare, well, it was indeed fierce, but cute and fierce.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know what she looked like now, but she was sure she wasn’t a cat, so why was she strange?

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to ask more, but Xin Miao’s mother returned, her footsteps hurried, relaxed only upon seeing Xin Miao okay.
