A few seconds later, she pursed her lips in resignation and, under Gu Zichen’s encouraging gaze, nodded her little head.

Gu Zichen immediately clapped his hands and said, “Let’s invite Student Jiaojiao to sing the alphabet song for us, everyone, please give her a round of applause.”

“Clap clap clap…” The applause was enthusiastic, with Little Fatty clapping the hardest and even whistling twice, such a show of support.

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao’s face turned red, she stood up, turned around to give him a glare, and then focused herself.

“ABCD…” The lyrics were simple and so was the melody, making it easy to sing.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice was still a child’s and when she sang, it was soft and sweet, so much so that as soon as she began, the whole classroom fell silent, listening intently.

At first, Ruan Jiaojiao was a bit nervous, but as she continued to sing, she relaxed and even smiled at her teacher; after smiling, she remembered the gap in her teeth and became a bit self-conscious again, her embarrassment showing.

Gu Zichen, upon noticing her missing teeth was initially startled but then smiled even more joyfully.

He couldn’t help but find the little girl incredibly adorable.

When she finished singing, the teacher led the applause again and asked aloud, “Classmates, was Ruan Jiaojiao’s singing good?”

Everyone answered in unison that it was good, loudly, with Little Fatty almost wishing the whole world could hear him, looking immensely proud.

After Ruan Jiaojiao sat down, she turned to look at Xiu Xi next to her. Xiu Xi looked at her and gave a serious assessment, “It was particularly good to listen to.” The only downside was that everyone else heard it too.

“Then, shall we ask Student Jiaojiao to teach us the song, is that okay?”

“Yes——” Everyone drew out the last syllable.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao was actually somewhat reluctant, she didn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits, and the song indeed made learning easier, so she agreed.

She sang a line at the front, and the classmates followed with the next.

After repeating this several times, everyone remembered the song, because it really was simple.

Qi Weixin, sitting at the front, didn’t join in the singing, biting her lip all the while. Being young and not yet adept at hiding her feelings, her face was so sullen that the classmate beside her didn’t dare give her another glance.

After class, Gu Zichen spoke privately with Ruan Jiaojiao for a moment before leaving with his textbooks.

And once the teacher had left, several female classmates immediately surrounded Ruan Jiaojiao. Children of that age are mostly quite pure, and this was the first time they truly felt the wonder of the little Genius Child, expressing their amazement and envy.

Even though they were close to Ruan Jiaojiao, they didn’t dare to approach class monitor Xiu Xi, just gathering around Ruan Jiaojiao. Yang Tao stood among them, chin lifted, her expression even happier than if she’d been praised herself when they complimented Ruan Jiaojiao.

Not far ahead, Qi Weixin suddenly stood up from her chair with such force that it bothered the classmate behind her, who uttered an annoyed reprimand.

Qi Weixin didn’t apologize politely as she used to do, but instead bit her lip and ran out of the classroom.

“…..” Ruan Jiaojiao and the others couldn’t help but look over.

After a brief silence, Yang Tao sneered and continued chatting and laughing with Ruan Jiaojiao.

At dinner time in the evening, Ruan Jiaojiao, fearing she would not endure the evening self-study session, took a nap on the desk after eating, and sure enough, she wasn’t as sleepy that night.
