Ruan Jie usually loved to tease her a bit, but his affection for her was no less than for anyone else. Seeing this, he lost the mood to joke, sat down beside her, rubbed her little head, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell your brother. Did someone bully you? Just say the word, and if I can't beat them, I'll bring a cannon to school and blast them away!!"
Ruan Jiaojiao was so amused and exasperated by his words that she looked up at him speechlessly, "How can you, after so many years in national defense, casually say you can't win?"
"That depends on the person," for instance, that kid Duan Xi. They had compared skills among brothers before, but couldn't beat him.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, unwilling to fuss over this with him, and snuggled up into his arms.
Ruan Jiaojiao wasn't considered short among women, but among the Ruan brothers, she was truly petite and delicate. Now, curled up in his arms, it made Ruan Jie's heart melt.
