CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306 XUANXUAN DOESN’T DISLIKE BROTHER ZERUI ANYMORE (2)

"All for me?" Xuanxuan looked surprised and somewhat disbelieving. After all, before she asked, she had already been prepared to be rejected. Moreover, in her mind, He Zerui was a bad guy, not a kind person!

"Yes." He Zerui turned his face away, his expression still cold, but his eyes flickered unnaturally.

"This is a birthday gift from Mom to you, I can’t take it all." Saying that, Xuanxuan pushed the cookie box in her hand forward and then added, "I’ll just take two pieces, the rest you keep for yourself."

But He Zerui did not accept Xuanxuan’s considerate gesture. He suddenly stood up and said impatiently, "Take it if I give it to you, don’t be so verbose!"

"It’s not right, I..." At this point, Xuanxuan wasn’t scared by He Zerui, nor did she think he was terribly mean. On the contrary, she felt a bit touched and grateful. She suddenly found He Zerui much more tall and admirable, not a bad guy anymore, but a good brother who was willing to share gifts with her.

"Why not? My stuff, I decide." He Zerui said forcefully and proudly. With that, he strode past Xuanxuan and headed straight for his room.

Xuanxuan’s gaze followed He Zerui, staring blankly at his back until his figure disappeared at the doorway and the sound of the door closing with a bang made her come back to her senses.

"Kabi, it turns out Xuanxuan has always misunderstood the big bad... no, no, I said it wrong, it’s brother Zerui. Xuanxuan has always misunderstood brother Zerui. Actually, just like Mom said, he’s a kind person." Holding the cookie box, Xuanxuan said to Kabi, who ran to her side wagging its tail excitedly. Her tone was mixed with annoyance and gratitude, clearly reflecting on herself.

But as usual, Kabi couldn’t understand Xuanxuan’s soliloquy. At this moment, it was only focused on tasting the delicious banana cookies, so it lightly and agilely jumped up, placing its two front legs on Xuanxuan’s knees, looking eagerly at the cookie box in her hand.

"Kabi, do you think Xuanxuan should apologize to brother Zerui? Should I get that ugly Voodoo Doll back and give him a birthday gift he would like?" Taking He Zerui’s cookies, Xuanxuan felt not just grateful but also slightly uneasy. Remembering her somewhat nasty attitude when she gave He Zerui the Voodoo Doll, she even felt some self-blame and shame. Usually, she always said He Zerui was impolite, but now she realized she wasn’t polite either.

"Woof woof."

Kabi’s entire attention was on the cookies and hadn’t noticed Xuanxuan’s troubled emotions at all. After waiting for a while and seeing that Xuanxuan had no intention of giving it the cookies, it barked twice impatiently as a reminder. But Xuanxuan was still lost in her thoughts, unable to make a decision, desperately wanting someone to give her some advice. Hearing Kabi’s bark, a spark of light flashed in her eyes, and she bent down, urgently and hopefully looking at Kabi, asking, "Do you agree that I should apologize, Kabi?"

"Woof woof——"

As Xuanxuan bent down, Kabi barked excitedly. The next second, after the bark fell, it suddenly leaped up, opened its mouth to bite the cookie box. With its weight coming down, the box left Xuanxuan’s small hand with a crash, and cookies scattered all over the floor!

It all happened so quickly and suddenly, Xuanxuan was totally unprepared and was stunned for a while. When she came to her senses and looked at the floor, she found that some of the cookies were clearly missing.

"Kabi!"

Looking at Kabi, who was eating the cookies with no remorse at all, a surge of anger rose to Xuanxuan’s chest, followed by a furious roar that shot straight at Kabi’s eardrums like an arrow, making it stop all its actions instantly.

"Awooo——"

Realizing Xuanxuan was angry, Kabi seemed to finally understand it had caused trouble. It whimpered, then looked up at Xuanxuan pitifully, showing a look of recognizing its mistake.

"These are the cookies Mom gave brother Zerui, how could you scatter them all over the floor?" Xuanxuan glared at Kabi, sternly admonishing it.

"..." Kabi didn’t make a sound, seeming somewhat afraid of Xuanxuan at this moment. Its eyes flickered slightly, and its cute ears drooped down a bit, making it even more endearing!

Seeing this, Xuanxuan softened a bit, but her tone still had a hint of exasperation, "Kabi, you’re too greedy, this time I’ll forgive you, but next time you can’t do this again, or I won’t pay attention to you. Now, eat all the cookies on the floor, don’t leave any before you go!"

Xuanxuan said it all in one breath, and after she finished speaking, Kabi’s ears drooped even lower, still looking at Xuanxuan pitifully, as if it didn’t know Xuanxuan had already forgiven it.

Feeling this way, Xuanxuan’s heart softened even more, "Alright, Xuanxuan’s not angry anymore, you can eat." Saying that, Xuanxuan stroked Kabi’s soft fur on its back with one hand, and with the other hand pointed to the floor, signaling Kabi to continue eating the cookies on the floor.

This time, Kabi was no longer so hasty and greedy. It didn’t rush to the delicious cookies immediately but instead licked Xuanxuan’s small hand and then rubbed its head against it, habitually being cute.

"I understand, Xuanxuan knows you know you did wrong. I’ll go downstairs to find Mom now, and after you finish eating the cookies, come down too." Xuanxuan gently and lovingly petted Kabi’s head, then stood up and walked steadily and quickly towards the staircase.

Returning from her stroll, the kitchen’s cleaning was already done by the housekeeper, so Mi Wan had nothing to do and sat in the living room watching TV.

To tell the truth, Mi Wan was a very knowledgeable woman. She rarely watched idol dramas, thinking their plots were exaggerated and melodramatic. Even if someone accompanied her to watch, she couldn’t get into it, so she usually watched legal or news programs. At this moment, when Xuanxuan came downstairs, she saw the TV playing the news.

"Mom, are you free now?" Xuanxuan walked to Mi Wan’s side, looking at her tentatively.

"Yes." Mi Wan withdrew her gaze from the TV and replied with a smile.

"Then... Mom, can you teach Xuanxuan how to make banana cookies? Kabi accidentally spilled all the cookies you gave brother Zerui onto the floor, so I want to make some to send back to him." Xuanxuan looked at Mi Wan, lowered her eyes after meeting her curious gaze, and said softly while looking at Mi Wan’s hands on her lap.

Hearing this, Mi Wan’s smile vanished instantly and she asked worriedly, "Was Zerui angry?"

"No." Xuanxuan shook her head.

No?

Mi Wan was secretly surprised. She knew very well that Zerui didn’t like dogs—he wasn’t just indifferent; he outright disliked them to the point of disgust. Therefore, he wouldn’t allow Kabi to get near him, and had always been very repulsed by Kabi. In places where Kabi was present, he would definitely stay far away. But despite all this, this time Kabi spilled his cookies, and he didn’t get angry?
