Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Discharged (2)_1 Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Discharged (2)_1 Ruan Jiaojiao found the voice familiar and curiously looked over to see a little boy sitting on Dr. Yuanâs chair. He had been facing away from her before, which is why she hadnât taken a good look, but now she realized it was a classmate from her class.
âRuan Jiaojiao, it really is you!â Yuan Xiaodong hopped down from the stool and hurried over to Ruan Jiaojiao, circling her with a face full of surprise, his eyes brimming with disbelief.
âYouâre actually still alive, everyone was saying you were deadâŠâ
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao smiled, her teeth practically grinding as she asked, âWho said I was dead?â
âIt was that guy from your village, called, called Xiu Cheng, thatâs right, the one whoâd been beaten up by your brother, he said you were dead, that you fell down the stairs and died, and that youâve been buried for several days now!â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
Her smile couldnât hold out any longer.
God damn, dead and buried for several days already.
This Xiu Cheng is so young yet so dark, she just doesnât believe that there could be rumors floating around the village about her being dead! It must be his own nonsense.
Ruan Jiaojiao was a bit angry and turned to head back to the ward, but Yuan Xiaodong quickly followed her.
âRuan Jiaojiao, have you seen my brother Xiu? Why hasnât he come to class for so long?â Regarding Xiu Xi, Yuan Xiaodong was truly admiring, speaking with respect in every word.
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him and pointed to the small villain standing at the door of the ward waiting: âIsnât that him over there?â
Yuan Xiaodongâs eyes lit up following the direction of her finger, and he was already running over.
Circling around Xiu Xi and chattering non-stop, his enthusiasm was off the charts: âBrother Xi, Brother Xi, I havenât seen you for so long, are you going back to school?â
Xiu Xi frowned, watching Ruan Jiaojiao slowly approaching, but his voice betrayed his annoyance: âYouâre very noisy.â
ââŠâ Yuan Xiaodong.
How was he noisy? Hadnât he just said a single sentence?
Xiu Xi waited for Ruan Jiaojiao to get closer and then took her hand to enter the ward, with Yuan Xiaodong hesitating for a moment before following them in.
Ruan Jiaojiao walked over to the Ruanlin Familyâs Ruanlin Family who was now able to sit up and took one of her hands to massage it.
Xiu Xi was also helping with the massage on the other side.
Yuan Xiaodong looked from one to the other and tentatively asked Ruan Jiaojiao: âRuan Jiaojiao, is this your grandma? Is she sick?â
Ruan Jiaojiao responded with a faint hum, turning her head to introduce him to Ruanlin Family. While doing so, she spoke with a sweet smile: âGrandma, this is Jiaojiaoâs classmate, called Yuan Xiaodong.â
Upon hearing this, Ruanlin Family turned towards Yuan Xiaodong, who immediately stood up straight, his voice ringing out crisply: âHello, Grandma, I am a classmate of Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi.â
Ruanlin Family nodded, and although her smile was still somewhat twisted, the laughter in her eyes made her look exceptionally kind.
Yuan Xiaodong touched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said with a smile: âI came to hang out with classmate Xiu Xi.â He finished speaking and looked towards Xiu Xi, gesturing outside: âBrother Xi, can we go outside to talk?â
In front of the elders, Yuan Xiaodong felt a bit constrained.
Xiu Xi looked at him expressionlessly, and Yuan Xiaodong immediately understood the meaning, his lips puckering in disappointment.
Around Xiu Xi, Yuan Xiaodong tasted the âbitterness and hardshipâ of life.
Because he came from a well-off family and was good-looking, he always triumphed among both adults and children, and it was precisely because of this that from a young age, his disposition was somewhat spoiled, not too fond of socializing, with people always coddling and flattering him.
