Chapter 620: Chapter 620: College Entrance Exam Top Scorer (7)_1 Chapter 620: Chapter 620: College Entrance Exam Top Scorer (7)_1 âYou Zhipeng!â A beautiful girl heard this and immediately frowned and glared at You Zhipeng; she was sitting right next to the girl who had just asked the question.
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately looked over, guessing that this girl must be Wu Juan.
She was quite petite and delicate-looking, with her cheeks now flushed red â whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.
Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao looking at her, Wu Juanâs face turned red in an instant, and she quickly waved her hands, âNo, no, Jiaojiao, donât misunderstand, I never thought it was for me.â
Despite her words, Wu Juan was actually feeling very disappointed.
Originally, when these hand-woven bracelets became popular at school, Ruan Hao approached her to teach him how to make one, which surprised her, but she was also curious about who he intended to give it to.
Ruan Hao was academically excellent and handsome, with a gentle demeanor that nevertheless kept a certain distance from others.
She taught him for a whole afternoon, while guessing all the while. Her birthday was just a few days away, and she couldnât help but hope a little that maybe, just maybe, he had wanted to give it to her.
Because he had said, while learning from her, to weave one in her favorite style, or a style that girls liked⊠and throughout the whole school, he was only slightly closer to her than he was to other girlsâŠ
So she harbored that faint hope for days, but the birthday came and went without the bracelet being given to her. Her good friend Huang Xiaoxiao, the girl now sitting next to her, was well aware of her feelings. Wu Juan had even talked to her about it at the time. Later, when Ruan Hao did not give her the bracelet, Huang Xiaoxiao almost went to confront Ruan Hao, until Wu Juan firmly held her back.
Wu Juan was sensible enough to know that her interactions with Ruan Hao were limited. They only knew each other a little more than others because she was the study monitor, and he was the class president. Now, just because Ruan Hao had asked her to make a bracelet, she fantasized that it was for her â that was a daydream. If she were to question him for not giving it to her, that wouldnât just be a daydream; it would be shameless.
Moreover, she didnât know how the story had gotten out in the first place, but the class had started saying the bracelet was for her. She thought Ruan Hao had said so himself, which made her expect more. After not receiving it, her disappointment grewâŠ
Only later did she hear that he had given the bracelet to his younger sister, whose birthday happened to fall on those same days, and she completely let go of any expectation.
She hadnât expected Huang Xiaoxiao to suddenly bring it up now.
Witnessing Ruan Jiaojiaoâs puzzled and bewildered expression, Wu Juan felt so mortified she wished the ground would swallow her up.
Seeing Wu Juanâs face turn beet red with embarrassment, Ruan Jiaojiao knew she must feel awkward and did not continue to stare. However, the girl sitting next to her seemed unwilling to let the matter drop just like that.
She said to Ruan Jiaojiao with a smile, âLittle sister, you know, if it wasnât for you, this Peace Rope would have been your sister Xiaojuanâs. You should really thank her.â
Huang Xiaoxiao was smiling, but her smile and words made Ruan Jiaojiao feel very uncomfortable, as if she had taken something belonging to someone else, even though the Peace Rope was indeed given to her by her big brother.
âXiaojuan! What nonsense are you talking about!â Wu Juan hadnât expected Huang Xiaoxiao to say something like that and was so distressed she almost cried. She turned her head and scolded Huang Xiaoxiao before turning back to Ruan Jiaojiao and saying, âJiaojiao, donât listen to her nonsense!â
