Chapter 720 - 720 720 Snatch (12)_1

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Snatch (12)_1 Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Snatch (12)_1 Xiu Xi was off-limits, but Lu Zishu dared to pounce on him with a howl, almost forcing Zishu’s dinner from the night before to make an unwelcome comeback.

The two of them tumbled into the flower bed beside the big tree, causing a ruckus.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched from the side, laughing uncontrollably.

“Jiaojiao, your brother is about to dive into a sea of flames, and you’re still laughing?” After finding some “comfort” atop Lu Zishu, Ruan Lei turned his head to see Ruan Jiaojiao laughing and asked with feigned sadness.

However, Ruan Jiaojiao thought it was better for Ruan Lei to dive into a “sea of flames” than for Xiu Xi, considering that if her little buddy truly got angry, he might actually bite someone to death!

But as a good sister, could Ruan Jiaojiao say that? Of course not.

She pretended to lament, “Yeah, Jiaojiao is so sad, so heartbroken that it’s turned into joy.”

“…” Little Fatty. If the smile on your face weren’t so joyful, I might believe you a bit more.

The group laughed and joked around, and soon it was time for class.

Hu Lanzhi walked into the classroom, holding a few brightly colored plastic flowers.

“Quiet down, everyone. After class, gather at the sports ground according to the teacher’s instructions, in the same formation as in PE class, got it?”

“Ruan Lei, Qi Weixin, take good care of these flowers. Okay, everyone, start self-study now, and I’ll come back to get you when it’s time. Class monitor, please maintain order.” Hu Lanzhi handed the flowers to Ruan Lei and Qi Weixin and then left.

“The school is so stingy, using plastic flowers,” Ruan Lei complained as soon as the teacher left, turning to pass the flowers to Ruan Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, play with them first.”

“Ruan Lei, this is serious business, you can’t just let people play with them,” Qi Weixin said disapprovingly, stopping him.

“Qi Weixin, there must be something wrong with you. Has anyone taken you to see a doctor? Otherwise, how can you be such a busybody!” Ruan Lei was puzzled, wondering why Qi Weixin always liked to oppose him.

“Big Brother Lei, it’s not really idle chatter, since you’ll be laying the flowers together soon. It’s like pairing up for a wedding. I heard that the couple from the second year are actually dating. Why don’t you and Qi Weixin pair up too?” Dai Min teased with a cheeky grin. Despite being a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth, his smile somehow managed to have a lecherous edge.

“Ugh! Spare me, please.” Ruan Lei, looking utterly ungrateful, clutched his chest and pretended to vomit.

Qi Weixin was infuriated but helpless as she always seemed to lose her footing in her battles with Ruan Lei, getting aggravated by him constantly.

Ruan Jiaojiao, on the other hand, was so amused she squinted her eyes to slits, but she also worried for Ruan Lei—being paired with Qi Weixin would surely make his pursuit of love quite challenging, wouldn’t it?

However, deep down she hoped Little Fatty wouldn’t fall for Qi Weixin. Not to mention the possibility of Qi Weixin falling out of love in the future, her parents alone were enough of a headache—difficult people indeed. If he ended up with her, Little Fatty would surely face a lot of trouble.

But they were all young now, and it was too early for such concerns, so Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t worry too much and just enjoyed the show.

About ten minutes later, the homeroom teacher came in to tell them to head to the sports ground.

After all these years, Xiu Xi had also learned from experience and, before getting up, he had Ruan Jiaojiao take a thinner workbook. They would be standing in different spots, so she needed something light to block the sun or fan herself when it got hot.
