Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Recognizing Relatives (6) Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Recognizing Relatives (6) Little Fatty, half-asleep and half-awake at the time, was also poked awake by his deskmate. Dai Minâs original intention was simply to give Little Fatty a heads-up to stop him from sleeping, especially since the Director of Student Affairs was outside. But as soon as Little Fatty opened his eyes, he saw Ruan Jiaojiao standing up and Xiu Xi half-standing, so he thought the class was over.
He immediately stood up as well, wiped off his drool and blabbered at Ruan Jiaojiao, âJiaojiao, letâs go to window number three for food today. That auntie is super nice, she always gives you more food. If you canât finish it, you can give it to me. Iâm growing recently, I always get peckish at midnight.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
ââŠâ The whole class plus the teacher, and the Director of Student Affairs outside.
â!!!â Dai Min, covering his face, wished he could bury his head into his desk.
âPfftâŠâ Someone suddenly couldnât help but start laughing, and then the whole class followed suit. The laughter was thunderous.
Even the politics teacher didnât know whether to be angry or to laugh.
Little Fatty, totally clueless, looked around at his classmates wondering what was going on, why were they all laughing at him. He was just growing, wasnât he?
âBro, Iâm not going to eat, class isnât over yet. The teacher asked me to step out,â Ruan Jiaojiao explained amidst everyoneâs laughter, also covering her face in embarrassment.
â!!!â Little Fatty.
Upon hearing this, his eyes widened as big as gongs, and his chubby face reddened to the roots.
Just then, the âding-dongâ of the bell for the end of class rang. The politics teacher closed the textbook and, before leaving, said to Little Fatty, âAlright, the teacher will leave first and wonât delay student Ruan Lei from growing.â
âHa ha ha haâŠâ Another burst of laughter followed.
Little Fattyâs face turned purple from holding in his embarrassment.
After the teacher left, those who were close to Ruan Lei immediately teased him, laughing so hard that Little Fatty was absolutely furious. He had no liking whatsoever for Xiu Xun who had come to find Ruan Jiaojiao. If not for him, why would he become the laughing stock of the whole class and even the teacher!
The Director of Student Affairs took Ruan Jiaojiao to the office, and after confirming that her friend was there, scolded Xiu Xun a couple of sentences and then turned to leave.
Now the four of them stood in the office, staring at each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
It was Ruan Jiaojiao who first broke the silence, proactively asking Xiu Xun, âDo you need something from me, Xiu Xun?â
Xiu Xun looked at her, then glanced at Xiu Xi by her side, and after a while, shook his head.
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao, if thereâs nothing, then why come looking for her?
âDid you eat yet? How about going to the cafeteria with me for lunch?â Ruan Jiaojiao asked again.
Little Fatty instantly turned and bolted, while running he shouted towards Ruan Jiaojiao, âSis, big bro is going with Lu Zishu and Feng Ge to get food. If we donât hurry, thereâll be none left. Remember to come early, okay?â And then he disappeared without a trace.
Ruan Jiaojiao knew that Xiu Xi didnât like Xiu Xun very much, but Xiu Xun looked obviously emotional today. She knew that he had gone with Jiang Bin for some kind of verification; could it be that the results were out? Thatâs why Xiu Xun seemed so off.
But she didnât feel that she had much rapport with Xiu Xun. However, since heâd already come looking for her and clearly wasnât in the right state of mind, she couldnât just send him away. She had no choice but to say, âThen come and have lunch with me? If thereâs something on your mind, we can talk about it on the way.â
Xiu Xun still didnât respond, so Ruan Jiaojiao took it as consent.
Of course, Ruan Jiaojiao wouldnât forget about the possessive buddy by her side. She took the initiative to squeeze his hand before leading the two of them forward.
