Chapter 4: Don't You Want to Be a Pig Anymore?

Suo Ruanruan frowned uneasily, "What brings you here?"

"Granny Chen was at my house talking to my grandpa about something. She was worried that you'd be scared at home alone, so she asked me to come and check on you," Xiao Chengjin said nonchalantly.

"Oh!"

Suo Ruanruan responded, but in her heart, she wondered why this didn't happen in her previous life.

What she didn't know was that in her previous life, Xiao Chengjin had also come.

He had just stood outside the door and heard her being coaxed by Liu Xiuli and Wang Aijuan, muttering "fool" under his breath, and then he didn't come in.

Although he didn't come in, Xiao Chengjin had been standing at Suo's door when Granny Chen returned.

In this life, not only was Suo Ruanruan not swayed by Liu Xiuli and Wang Aijuan, she also lied and sent the two of them away. Xiao Chengjin was pleased with this and naturally entered the house, saying the words he had just spoken.

"Your job has been secured. Your grandma was at my house discussing the household registration transfer with my grandpa," Xiao Chengjin said.

Suo Ruanruan replied, "Oh!"

"Why did you lie to them and say the job hadn't been secured?"

Suo Ruanruan blinked, "I didn't lie and say the job hadn't been secured. Do you mean to give the job to Wang Aijuan?"

Hearing Suo Ruanruan's words, Xiao Chengjin became even more interested.

He walked a few steps closer, looking down at Suo Ruanruan, "Didn't you used to call her sister before?"

"I don't want to call her that anymore."

"Why don't you want to call her that? Is it because you've realized you've been deceived all along and don't want to be fooled anymore?"

"..." Suo Ruanruan said, "Yes, you're right."

Xiao Chengjin smugly raised his eyebrows, "I knew it. If they come to bother you again in the future, you tell me."

Seeing Xiao Chengjin's smug expression, Suo Ruanruan also smiled.

Xiao Chengjin was only a year older than her, and now was the time of youth. What was she arguing with a little kid for?

After thinking for a moment, Suo Ruanruan smiled and asked, "Tell you, and then what?"

In the past, Suo Ruanruan always kept her head down and didn't dare to look people in the eye. Although Xiao Chengjin knew that Suo Ruanruan was good-looking, he hadn't paid much attention to her.

But now, being stared at so directly by Suo Ruanruan, he could almost see his own reflection in her clear, black-and-white eyes. Xiao Chengjin was actually a little afraid to meet Suo Ruanruan's gaze, and his face flushed.

"Then... then I'll have my grandpa deduct their work points."

Suo Ruanruan couldn't help but burst into laughter at Xiao Chengjin's words.

Hearing Suo Ruanruan's laughter, Xiao Chengjin's face turned even redder.

At this moment, he also realized that he had just said something foolish.

Xiao Chengjin was unlike the other boys in the village. His skin was fair, not much different from Suo Ruanruan's, and his features were exceptionally good-looking, especially his long, narrow eyes, which were exceptionally black and bright. When he smiled, they curved into a charming shape, making people feel itchy inside.

A boy who looked so good was now blushing with shyness. Suo Ruanruan felt an itch in her hand and wanted to go up and ruffle Xiao Chengjin's hair.

She thought so, and she did it.

Startled by the sudden ruffling, Xiao Chengjin took a step back in surprise, looking at Suo Ruanruan with astonishment, "What are you doing?"

"I'm thanking you!"

Unmarried girls in the village usually wore two twisted braids.

Suo Ruanruan, however, was different from them. She had a neat, black, and glossy short hair that reached her collar. There were a few stray hairs in front, and through the strands, you could see her smooth and shiny forehead.

Her round, fair face had delicate features, and her eyes were big and round, making her look younger than her actual age.

At this moment, she smiled, and her round eyes curved into a crescent shape, making Xiao Chengjin's ears turn red.

"Um... you go to sleep. I'll watch outside, and I'll leave when Granny Chen comes back."
