Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Snatch (14)_1 Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Snatch (14)_1 As soon as the class began, Gu Zichen, as usual, called her to read the dialogue aloud.
Ruan Jiaojiao read with deep emotion and flourish, but this time her partner was Xiu Xi. A large and a small, a boy and a girl, both with delicate features, they stood out amongst the many students.
Just then, the principal and others happened to be inspecting outside their classroom and couldnât help but stop in their tracks to look over.
Ruan Jiaojiao, with her head down looking at the book, didnât notice the crowd that had suddenly appeared at the door, while Xiu Xi, sensitive to the sharp gazes, took advantage of a break to glance up.
The onlookers were clearly taken aback by his green eyes, but they didnât show much on their faces, except for a flash of surprise in their eyes.
Xiu Xi caught that look but didnât care. Many people were surprised at first sight of him, and he didnât think much of it.
By the time Ruan Jiaojiao looked up, the onlookers had already walked away, so she didnât realize that there had been people at the door just moments before.
After all the morning classes were over, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi went to the canteen for lunch. Passing the teachersâ office, she glanced inside out of habit and then saw Zhao Li standing in front of the office classroom, as if waiting for someone.
Zhao Li brightened when she saw her.
âJiaojiao, come here quickly.â
âGodmother,â Ruan Jiaojiao ran over with a smile.
âEh, are you going to have lunch, Jiaojiao?â Zhao Li asked. She stooped down tenderly to straighten the hair by Jiaojiaoâs ear. Noticing Lu Zishu sulking at the side, she suddenly became furious âNow you are even more audacious, not even calling out to me when you see me?â
âMom.â Lu Zishu called out impatiently and then urged Ruan Jiaojiao âLetâs go eat. Otherwise, there wonât be any dishes left.â
âYou little-â Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao, Zhao Liâs heart softened, but looking at her own child, she couldnât help feeling infuriated and gave him a stern glance, âGo on then, itâs annoying just to look at you.â She then whispered to Ruan Jiaojiao âJust bear with it a few more days. Once godmotherâs friend leaves, Iâll bring you lunch every day. Itâs really pitiful; youâve lost so much weight.â
ââŠâ Lu Zishu rolled his eyes dramatically.
Ruan Jiaojiao obediently nodded her head, said goodbye to Zhao Li, and followed a few older boys toward the canteen.
But they hadnât gone far when they heard a commotion from behind.
Curious, Ruan Jiaojiao looked back and saw once again those long legs that drew everyoneâs attention.
Following those long legs upward, though the distance was quite far, she could still make out that the owner of the long legs had striking good looks.
Perhaps her stare was too focused because he seemed to feel it and also looked her way.
Then Zhao Li followed his gaze and looked over, her eyes brightening as she pointed at her, her expression as proudly as ever.
Ruan Jiaojiao gave them a big smile before turning her gaze away.
But in her mind, she kept replaying the image of those long legs, and she couldnât shake the feeling that he looked familiar. She tried hard to remember where she had seen him before, wondering if it was someone from the memories she had inherited, but she couldnât recall at the moment.
It wasnât until she was in the canteen, with a tray of plentiful food in front of her, that she suddenly realized who he was and where she had seen him!
