Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Events of the Past (9)_1 Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Events of the Past (9)_1 Yang Tao was already sitting behind and slightly diagonal to Ruan Jiaojiao. That sudden glimpse just now made her feel like she had seen something familiar.
She scratched the back of her ear and, while hunched over, sneakily made her way over. While Ruan Jiaojiao was puffing her cheeks and glaring at Xiu Xi, Yang Tao quietly reached out her hand.
Her hand touched Ruan Jiaojiaoâs, which was holding the milk bottle, startling Ruan Jiaojiao so much that her whole body jolted.
âLittle Frog, whatâs this? Itâs still warm,â Yang Tao asked, growing even more curious. She leaned in closer.
Ruan Jiaojiao was so scared by Yang Taoâs series of stealthy actions that she tried to push away Yang Taoâs hand with one hand, while protecting the milk bottle with the other. However, she was no match for Yang Taoâs strength and ended up having it fished out by her.
Seeing the milk bottle in her hand, Yang Tao was a bit slow to understand.
âLittle Frog, whose baby bottle did you swipe from home?â she asked.
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips.
Yang Tao seemed to have realized something, and her expression slowly changed, âOh my gosh, donât tell me, Little Frog, youâre not going to say that youâŠâ She didnât finish her sentence before Ruan Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hand.
âYang Tao, donât say anything, please,â Ruan Jiaojiao begged with her big eyes blinking and misty as if she were coaxing.
ââŠâ Yang Tao felt her heart melting under the gaze of those big eyes.
Gosh, this Little Frogâs coquetry is seriously lethal.
With no strength to disagree, she nodded vigorously, indicating she wouldnât tell. Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao relax her hand.
Xiu Xi had been watching the whole scene with a frown. Although he felt he should hold back, he couldnât help but intervene in the end. He took Ruan Jiaojiaoâs small hand, wet a handkerchief with water from his water bottle, and wiped her hand clean.
ââŠâ Yang Tao.
For some reason, she felt thwarted! Her mouth wasnât dirty!
But even if she was roaring inside, she didnât dare to say anything outwardly, especially when Xiu Xi looked over. She had to force a smile, showing she didnât mind.
âBig brother Xiu, itâs not dirty.â Xiu Xi was always like this, and she was used to it, but she was afraid Yang Tao might get the wrong idea, so she quickly pulled back her hand.
Yang Tao kept nodding on the side. Right, right, she wiped her mouth after breakfast, itâs not dirty!
But when Xiu Xi looked over again, all she could do was wave her hand sadly, indicating it was no big deal, go ahead. Faced with the class monitorâs presence, Yang Tao lacked even the energy to resist.
Ruan Jiaojiao then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, she heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps no one had noticed her bringing the milk bottle.
What she didnât know was that it wasnât just Yang Tao who had noticed. Many in the class had seen, but out of regard for Xiu Xi, no one dared to take a second glance.
As for the class monitor, they revered him from the depths of their hearts and souls. Even the most unruly boys in the class behaved extremely well in front of him.
âYang Tao, actually I donât use a baby bottle at home, I drink milk mixed in a cup,â Ruan Jiaojiao continued to try to explain, hoping to salvage her babyish image in Yang Taoâs mind.
But fate wouldnât give her a chance. Just then, the class bell rang, and all she could do was watch Yang Tao walk away with a look of âI understand, but I promise not to tell.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao, so frustrated!
Xiu Xi was still abusing his power though, âThe teacher isnât here yet, take a few sips.â
