Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149 Fear of Death (10)

She said with a slightly sour tone, “Jiaojiao, Teacher Shu treats you so well, she even kisses you at your age.” She emphasized the words “your age”.

“What’s the matter, are you jealous? If you’re jealous, go back and get a kiss from your mom! Saying something like that here… nonsense!” Lu Zishu’s seat was just behind Ruan Jiaojiao. He was originally resting on the desk, but upon hearing this, he immediately lifted his head and retorted. He almost let out a swear word, but considering Ruan Jiaojiao was right there, he forcefully changed his words halfway through.

This task used to always be Ruan Lei’s, but now that Ruan Lei was in a different class, it had become his and Ruan Jiaojiao’s class. He thought about it and felt he should take on some responsibility too, not letting others think the Lu Family was easy to bully. After all, Ruan Jiaojiao was his god-sister, and bullying his god-sister was like bullying him.

Before Lu Zishu met Ruan Lei in his early years, he was actually a gentle and scholarly teenager. But since he started hanging out with Ruan Lei, he’s grown more similar to him, especially with Lu Xian as a role model. Lu Zishu departed from his scholarly image long ago, and with good childhood nutrition, he was among the tallest after Xiu Xi.

Now, with an impatient face, he talked back, rolling his eyes dramatically, and indeed looked quite intimidating.

At least Xu Jie, after being retorted, didn’t dare to say another word, only muttering something unintelligible to the others and turning back to read his book.

“Is your hand feeling better? And your leg?” Lu Zishu, now mostly awake, asked Jiaojiao, yawning with his hand over his mouth, then added, “Oh right, the books of you and Brother Xiu are in the desk. Check if there’s anything missing.”

“Okay.” Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, taking out the breakfast she brought, and said with a grin, “This is a thank-you gift. Thanks, god-brother, for helping out earlier.”

“Tch, who wants your thanks.” Lu Zishu sneered, but his hands honestly took the breakfast she handed over and asked, “What’s for breakfast today, is it meat buns?”

The Ruanlin Family’s meat buns are top-notch, and Lu Zishu loved them. He never missed a chance to have some during holidays.

“Yes, I brought five. You can share them with Brother later.” Ruan Jiaojiao said. Beside her, Xiu Xi handed her a thermos cup. She took a sip and then started pulling out the books from the desk, counting them one by one to make sure the number was correct. Only then did she take out a Chinese book to read, while Xiu Xi sat beside her, writing their names on the books.

At this point, most of the classmates had already arrived in the classroom and began their morning reading.

This era had a lack of materials and very few entertainment activities, so even the little stories in textbooks could capture Ruan Jiaojiao’s attention.

While reading the Chinese book, Xiu Xi finished writing the names and was watching her. He didn’t believe what Shu Jiao said earlier that morning, but he wasn’t sure if Ruan Jiaojiao believed her. Considering he couldn’t solve the situation himself, he found it hard to believe someone else could.

But with Ruan Jiaojiao’s current appearance, did she believe it?

Xiu Xi uncertainly thought.

Perhaps Xiu Xi’s gaze was too focused, as Ruan Jiaojiao felt it and looked up from the book to meet his eyes, smiling as she asked, “Brother Xiu, what are you looking at?”

Xiu Xi didn’t answer, just lowered his head and held her small hand, “I made this.”

Following his gaze, Ruan Jiaojiao finally noticed that the Luck Rope she used to wear had been replaced. The one in front of her now wasn’t woven as well as the previous one, but it was much newer.
