Outside, the Ruanlin Family stepped out of the room and walked to their own door, gesturing towards Meat with their mouth, pointing at the guest room where Duan Xi was sleeping.
Meat immediately stood up, dragging its big tail, and walked to the door of that guest room, using its massive body to block the entire doorway.
Inside the room, Ruan Jiaojiao went to the bathroom, boiled hot water, and upon seeing it, didn't pay much attention. She wrung out a towel and bent down to wipe Duan Xi, doing this for the first time and fearing she wouldn't do well, she moved with extreme caution and attention, wiping each of Duan Xi's fingers individually.
She was so focused that she didn't notice the person she was caring for had already opened their eyes, watching her without blinking, the corners of his mouth nearly stretching to his ears. When Ruan Jiaojiao looked up again, he quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
