Xia Ruan sleeps outside, and Yun Maomao sleeps inside.

Originally, Xia Ruan was a little stiff due to nervousness, but Yun Maomao was not nervous at all, nor did she dislike it at all, and subconsciously crawled into Xia Ruan's arms.

Chapter 89 Childhood 4

"Ruanruan, why have you grown so tall?" Yun Maomao rubbed against Xia Ruan's neck, her voice confused and yearning.

In the past six months, Xia Ruan's body began to grow, and she suddenly grew to over 1.6 meters tall. She was no longer as petite as before. She was taller than other girls of the same age, and even a head taller than Yun Maomao. In the past, Xia Ruan was often bullied by the children in the neighborhood because of her petite stature, but now not many people dare to bully her.

"No, I don't know." Xia Ruan also blinked and thought, "Maybe it's because... I eat better now than before?"

Ever since he got to know Yunmao, the little guy would steal bacon, sausages and other things from home from time to time. Xia Ruan's frequency of eating meat has skyrocketed.

"But obviously we all eat the same food, why don't I grow taller?" Yun Maomao pouted, puzzled.

"Because you haven't grown up yet." Xia Ruan thought for a while, "Maybe... it will take another two years."

"Ah..." Yun Maomao was disappointed.

Two years is a long time.

Xia Ruan ruffled her hair and asked, "Maomao, do you really want to grow taller?"

"Yeah!" Cloud Maomao nodded vigorously.

"How tall do you want to be?" Xia Ruan was curious.

"Hmm..." Yun Maomao thought about it seriously, "It's probably a bit higher than Ruan Ruan."

"Why?"

Yun Maomao said without thinking: "Because you said that if the sky suddenly fell, there would be tall people in front to hold it up. If I am taller than you, I can help you hold it up."

Xia Ruan was startled, and her palms suddenly felt hot. She turned over suddenly and looked out the window at the endless stars in the night sky, her eyes flickering.

Behind her, Yun Maomao opened her small mouth, blinked in confusion, and soon turned over with Xia Ruan, raising her hand to touch Xia Ruan's face: "It's so hot! Ruan Ruan, are you shy?"

Xia Ruan's knees shrank upward, and his whole body curled up into a small shrimp.

This made Cloud Maomao hug her and laugh.

The little girl's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, extremely pleasant to the ear. Xia Ruan thought it sounded really good, but at the same time she was so shy that her ears and cheeks turned red.

After a while, Xia Ruan managed to regain her composure, then turned over and hugged Yun Maomao, gently rubbing her chin on her hair.

Yun Maomao raised his head and gave Xia Ruan a silly smile.

Xia Ruan also laughed softly.

"By the way, Maomao, what book did you read during the day?" Xia Ruan suddenly remembered that Yun Maomao deliberately avoided her while reading during the day and did not let her read. She was a little curious at the time, but she kept it in and didn't ask until now.

"Hey... Ruanruan, do you want to know?" Yun Maomao hesitated, "You, you will be scared of the ghost story I read..."

Ruanruan is timid, afraid of ghosts, the dark, and thunder... and can be easily frightened to tears. Although Yunmao Maomao is still young, she occasionally can't help but think-how could Ruanruan be so timid after growing up in such an environment? When she was away, Ruanruan lived alone in such a gloomy little house. Wouldn't she often be scared to tears? So pitiful.

Xia Ruan bit her lip and struggled for a while: "Maomao, tell me."

Although she does get scared, she doesn't like the feeling of being separated from cats. She also wants to know some of the things Maomao knows, and she has to QAQ even if she is afraid.

Cloud Cat sighed arrogantly, and finally told a ghost story vividly.

Before she finished speaking, Xia Ruan cried and crawled into her arms, tears streaming down her face, and the fingers holding her clothes were trembling.

Cloud Cat: "..."

In fact, she was also afraid, but seeing Xia Ruan being so afraid, she felt that she was not afraid anymore. She just wanted to grow taller quickly and be able to hold Xia Ruan completely in her arms so that she would not be so afraid anymore.

In the end, after hugging and coaxing, Yun Maomao almost cried together. Finally, Xia Ruan was coaxed to stop her tears, but she still shivered in her arms.

"Ruanruan," Yun Maomao frowned, her voice sad, "What will you do when I'm not around?"

Xia Ruan subconsciously said, "I won't be afraid when you're not here."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because... you can't be afraid when you are alone." Xia Ruan clenched her fingers, because no matter how scared she was, no one would hold her, coax her, and tell her that they would be there to help her even if the sky fell. Block.

"Ouch..." Yun Maomao seemed to understand, but obediently did not ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the topic, "Ruan Ruan, in Chinese class today, the text we studied is the story of Cinderella... Also, And the story of the ugly duckling.”

Xia Ruan nodded: "Yeah."

She had read both stories.

Cloud Cat paused and continued to ask: "Ruanruan, do you like Cinderella or the Ugly Duckling more?"

Xia Ruan said: "The ugly duckling."

"Eh...? Why?"

Xia Ruan looked at the starry sky outside the window and whispered: "Because Cinderella only became a princess after meeting the prince. But the ugly duckling turned into a white swan by himself."
