The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251: 610 Divine Assist (Second Update)

At the hour of the rooster, Xiaoba returned from Guozijian after school was over.

"Jiaojiao!"

His first action upon entering the door was to fling his bookbag aside and flap his little arms around, searching for Gu Jiao everywhere.

Lately, the household had been plagued with sickness, with Gu Jiao staying at home unless called out for a severe medical condition.

Not finding Gu Jiao in the courtyard, Xiaoba went to her east room.

The room was empty as well, and Xiaoba, not giving up, searched around it, even under the bed. Squatting on the ground, he scratched his little head in confusion, "Eh? Where’s Jiaojiao? Where did she go?"

Xiaoba decided to continue searching in other rooms, but as he was about to rise, he unexpectedly spotted a little thing lying on the ground.

Blue, and somewhat familiar.

Xiaoba picked up the soft little blue bottle, "Wow! It’s something tasty!"

To help Xiaoba grow tall, Gu Jiao had tried everything, such as giving him calcium supplements to drink.

However, they had only lasted for half a month before they ran out.

Xiaoba dearly missed that sour-sweet taste.

"Slurp~" Xiaoba salivated at the thought.

Jiaojiao would only let him have one bottle at a time, but here were two bottles. Mmm, he should hide them!

Xiaoba sneakily stuffed the two little bottles into his pocket.

His secret stashing was just like how the Empress Dowager hid her preserved fruits.

Having hidden his treasure, he placed his hands behind his back, tilted his head upward, and walked out as if nothing was amiss, with a gait mirroring that of an old aunt, "Old Zhao! Ready to play cards?"

With more and more people at home, and the side being too cramped, they were lucky to have broken through to the neighboring house, whose rooms and courtyard were being utilized to their maximum potential.

The reason Xiaoba couldn’t find Gu Jiao was that she had gone to the Backyard next door to construct a rehabilitation area for Huangfu Xian.

Xiaoba caught the sound of ding and dong and his eyes lit up, "Jiaojiao!"

He dashed towards the Backyard, which was now conveniently interconnected between the two houses.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun were busy among the wood materials, and seeing him running over, Gu Jiao hastily said, "Xiaoba, don’t come here! There are nails all over the ground!"

"Oh." Xiaoba, disappointed, halted his steps and, peering over a pile of wood on tiptoes, watched Jiaojiao.
