Jiaojiao’s action had Xiuxi wishing he could smack it right onto the ground.

In the past two years, he had not skimped on giving her gifts, but due to a lack of discerning taste, most of what he had given her was stuff Ruan Jiaojiao already had or had seen. Not like this music box which had just become popular. They weren’t yet available for purchase in their city, and he didn’t even know such a thing existed.

Once Ruan Jiaojiao reached Shu Jiao’s office and saw that there were indeed no teachers inside, she sat down at Shu Jiao’s desk, propped her chin on the edge of the table, and opened the music box to enjoy it.

“Xiuxi, listen, this song is so nice to listen to.”

“It’s not nice,” said Xiuxi.

“What’s not nice about it?” Ruan Jiaojiao disagreed.

Frowning, Xiuxi thought for a moment and said, “It sounds like Ruan Lei, like a quacking duck.”

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao was at a loss for words. How could this beautiful melody resemble Little Fatty’s duck voice!

Ruan Jiaojiao felt that he had no appreciation whatsoever, and without bothering with him anymore, she played with the music box by herself, utterly delighted.

By the time Shu Jiao finished her class and returned, Ruan Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep on the desk, accompanied by the lovely sound of the music, while Xiuxi stared with a look of immense suffering at a music box on the table.

Upon entering and discovering her daughter asleep, Shu Jiao lowered her voice and asked him, “Xiaoxi, where did this music box come from?”

“Lu Xian gave it,” Xiuxi replied.

Hearing that, Shu Jiao nodded, not particularly surprised as she had grown accustomed to it.

However, Xiuxi added from the side, “Auntie, isn’t this kind of inappropriate?”

“Hmm?” While arranging the materials for the third class, Shu Jiao looked at him puzzled.

Xiuxi stopped the music box, bringing the melody to a halt before continuing, “Men and women should not touch hands, and moreover…” pausing, Xiuxi added, “Lu Xian has a girl he likes.”

“Ah?” Shu Jiao was amazed, now not even giving a second thought to what he said about men and women not touching hands, only asking, “How do you know?”

“Just saw it in class. The girl who sits in front of him.”

Shu Jiao tried to recall who sat in front of Ruan Jie and his friends, but couldn’t think of it after a while.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiuxi continued, “We got used to it as kids, but if it doesn’t change as we grow up, it could hold him back.”

“…” Shu Jiao was speechless.

If she couldn’t discern Xiuxi’s subtle intentions at that moment, she would be a teacher in vain.

She was torn between laughter and tears.

With no choice, she offered, “Xiaoxi, it’s okay, they’re just like siblings, others won’t think too much about it.”

“It’s not good,” Xiuxi said earnestly, “It’s bad for Jiaojiao’s reputation.”

“…” Shu Jiao was speechless.

Shu Jiao had known Xiuxi for more than two years, and she had seen how he was with her daughter. She was well aware of his possessiveness, yet she still allowed such a person to be around her daughter. That was because she knew, even if it cost him his life, this boy would never harm her girl.

She was a selfish mother, willing to accept anyone who was good to her daughter.

Although she had never had a heart-to-heart talk with Xiuxi, she knew that to protect her daughter, she couldn’t do it alone; she needed him by her side. Just like the incident with the Yuan Family, if Xiuxi hadn’t told her, she never would’ve known.

Now, seeing Xiuxi care so much, she could only reassure him, “Don’t worry, the things you’re concerned about will never happen.”
