Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Want to Change Desk Mates (1)_1 Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Want to Change Desk Mates (1)_1 âSitting with you?â
âYeah, boys sit with boys, and girls should sit with girls,â Yang Tao nodded, extending a warm invitation. âDo you want to sit with me? Iâll protect you in the future and often bring you something tasty to eat.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
After finishing the last bite of her small cake and looking at the enthusiastic Yang Tao, she couldnât help but waver.
She had been sitting with Xiu Xi since the first grade, for almost three years now. She always felt that Xiu Xi, being alone in this world, was too pitiable, so she thought she had to spend more time with him.
But now⊠Heâd been in this world for over two years, so he should be used to it, right?
She also wanted to sit with someone else and see what it was like.
And maybe because sheâd been overly protected by her older brothers since she was young, she hadnât made any really good friends. Even though her classmates had all been nice to her, it was more like doting on a younger sister than treating her like a friend.
She looked at Yang Tao, with her student haircut, lively and restless, and her little thoughts grew even more rampant.
ButââI need to discuss this with Brother Xi.â
âBrother Xi? Xiu Xi?â Yang Tao made faces, âIf you call him Brother Xi, and Iâm two years older than him, shouldnât you call me Sister Tao? Come on, call me that and letâs hear it.â
With that, she also tried to pinch her chubby cheeks that sheâd always wanted to pinch.
However, before she could touch them, Ruan Lei, who had come running in with a stack of books, stopped her.
With a huge pile of books in his arms, Ruan Lei ran in first. As soon as he entered the room and saw someone about to touch his sister, he placed the books on the desk of the front row and with the speed of an arrow rushed over, pointing at Yang Tao and shouting, âHey, what demon are you, daring to touch my sister! I wonât let you get away with it!â
In the past two years, televisions slowly became common, and âJourney to the Westâ was a TV series that remained popular every summer and winter vacation. The kids would often shout phrases from the show during their play.
Ruan Lei was a loyal fan of the series, and his favorite was Sun Wukong. However, Ruan Chi would often tease him, saying he was more like Zhu Bajie!
âCrazy!â Yang Tao rolled her eyes at him and then turned back to Ruan Jiaojiao, âRuan Jiaojiao, think it over, okay? Iâll wait for you,â she said before going back to her seat.
âJiaojiao, what was that person just talking to you about? What does she want you to consider?â Ruan Lei came up out of curiosity and asked.
Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head and didnât answer, only moving her gaze away guiltily when Xiu Xi came in.
Xiu Xi carried the most books, but he seemed the most at ease.
The first thing he did when he came in was to glance at Ruan Jiaojiao. Seeing her sitting in her place obediently, he then put the books on the podium, moving the ones that Little Fatty had placed on the first desk as well.
The class teacher came in afterwards, distributed books according to the class list, and instructed them to write their names on the books before dismissing class.
Dinner was served promptly at six oâclock in the school during summer. Ruan Jiaojiao, having just eaten a small cake, wasnât very hungry, so she followed the four boys to the cafeteria at a leisurely pace. On the way, they ran into Yang Tao, who waved and greeted her, âLittle Frog, Iâm waiting for your news.â
âWhat news?â Little Fatty, hearing Yang Taoâs words again, couldnât contain his curiosity, âWhen did you meet that girl, Jiaojiao? Why does she call you Little Frog?â
