The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 848: Crazy Zoo (7)

In the eyes of the Ruan Family, what seemed commonplace was, to her, imbued with magic.

The little squirrel, after nuzzling Ruan Jiaojiao, held up its tiny paw and handed her a nut it had treasured, chirping to suggest she eat it.

Ruan Jiaojiao took the nut and after inspecting it, said helplessly, "I can’t crack it open."

It seemed the squirrel understood her, as it tilted its head, took back the nut with its little paw, and with a couple of crunches, cracked it open, rolling the nut around and revealing the white flesh inside.

It was a hazelnut.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t mind, she took a bite and then handed the other half back to the squirrel, which also started munching on it with chirps.

Above their heads, several other squirrels, seeing this, did the same, chirping as they ran back to their tree holes, brought out many nuts, and gathered together on the tree trunk, starting to peel the nuts.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene where about a dozen squirrels were gathered in the large tree, nibbling on nuts, while below them shells fluttered down like light rain.

Ruan Jie and Ruan Jun covered their heads and dodged out from under the tree, Lu Zhiwei and Zhao Li had their eyes wide with astonishment.

Ruan Lei, eager to try, ran beneath those dozen squirrels, stretching out his hands and shouting, "Hey, can you give me a few as well?"

The busy squirrels, hearing this, looked down, eyed the giant figure below the tree, and simultaneously made a move—tossing the peeled shells at him, thinking, who is this ugly monster daring to steal their food.

Ruan Lei didn’t expect this kind of treatment; he yelped in pain, covering his nearly bruised head, quickly ducking behind the members of the Ruanlin Family.

Seeing Ruan Lei hide behind others, the squirrels throwing objects finally stopped.

Then, holding the nuts they had peeled, they jumped down from the tree, lining up like dwarfs bringing treasures to Snow White, standing in front of Ruan Jiaojiao to offer her the nut meat.

Ruan Jiaojiao was delighted, squatting down to gently pat each of them, feeling as if her heart would melt.

"..." Xiu Xi, standing aside, was holding back so hard that his face was turning slightly blue.

Ruan Lei was incredibly frustrated, thinking how could these squirrels act like this, we’re all people, why is there such a difference!

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t want so many nuts from the squirrels, taking just one from each, and seeing many tourists drawn over by her closeness to them, quickly said, "Thank you for your nuts, you better go back up the tree."

Several squirrels reluctantly left, bouncing and interacting with Ruan Jiaojiao, until one of them accidentally saw Xiu Xi’s dark face and got scared, rushing up the tree, followed by the others, who belatedly realized as well, all scampering back up the tree, hiding behind leaves showing only their fluffy tails, and after a few seconds, peered out again, saw Xiu Xi was still there, getting scared and tucking their fluffy tails behind the leaves too.

"I didn’t mean to scare them." Xiu Xi immediately declared his innocence.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao looked at his face, speechless.

After distributing the nuts given by the squirrels to everyone, Ruan Jiaojiao continued walking forward, while Little Fatty, whose little heart had been wounded, felt somewhat healed by this single nut.
