Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Why Are You Taking My Daughter!! (2)
She has been doing farm work for years, and she also raised several younger sisters and a brother. Holding Ruan Jiaojiao was effortless for her, let alone the fact that Ruan Jiaojiao was just leaning against her chest, not requiring much strength from her.
Ruan Jiaojiao felt very comfortable like this. Seeing that it wasnât difficult for her, she nestled in her arms with a clear conscience.
Next to her, Xiu Xi was holding her hand, frowning and looking over. He tugged at her wrist, trying to pull her out of Yang Xiaonaâs arms, but even before he exerted any force, Ruan Jiaojiao already started whining: âOuch, Brother Xi, let me lie for just a little while, just a tiny bit, my back is sore.â
âNonsense, where do kids get backs from?â Lu Zishu quipped from behind. He actually learned this phrase from Zhao Li because every time he complained about back pain in the past, Zhao Li would say that kids donât have backs.
Now he was using this newly acquired wisdom on Ruan Jiaojiao.
âExactly.â Ruan Jiaojiao pinched her tiny waist. She started getting taller in seventh grade, and now, apart from her chubby face, the rest of her was thin and small, especially her wrists and waist were particularly slender, always giving the impression they could be snapped with a pinch.
So, when she whined, Xiu Xi, even though he was displeased with her crawling into someone elseâs arms, dared not use force, fearing heâd accidentally snap her wrist.
âThatâs not a waist; itâs more like a sparrowâs leg,â Lu Zishu spared no effort in teasing her.
Ruan Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost crawled out of Yang Xiaonaâs arms to scratch him.
Even if she didnât take action, Xiu Xi avenged her by giving Lu Zishu a cold glare. Then, Yang Xiaona also glared at him and turned her head to speak to Ruan Jiaojiao in such a gentle tone it gave him goosebumps: âJiaojiao, ignore him.â
Xiu Xi was one thing, after all these years, he was used to it. But what was up with Yang Xiaona?
Clearly, it was him who helped her today!
Lu Zishu couldnât figure it out, but little did he know, there would be more things he couldnât figure out in the future. These were nothing now.
After the school opening ceremony ended, everyone went back to their class once more. The class teacher gave a brief instruction and reminded them a few times about the time to come back at night, then dismissed them.
When the classmates cheered and rushed out of the classroom, Ruan Jiaojiao didnât hurry to get up. Her home was nearby anyway, so there was no need to rush back and forth.
Yang Xiaonaâs home was a bit far, so she had to go back for a bit. Although she was reluctant, she still left the classroom early.
When she went out, she ran into Yang Tao and Ruan Lei who were coming to find Ruan Jiaojiao. Yang Tao blinked in confusion, and Ruan Lei, standing next to Lu Zishu, asked in surprise: âYouâre sitting with a girl?â
âWhat else can I do?â Lu Zishu briefly recounted what happened in the morning.
It was just his luck to end up with such a step-sister and such a troublesome friend.
Ruan Lei chuckled, giving him a hearty pat on the shoulder: âYou really know your way, buddy. Donât worry, next time we play a game, Iâll let you win a round.â
âPfft! Who cares!â Lu Zishu sneered as the two of them moved forward, playfully chasing and hitting each other.
Yang Tao saw Xiu Xi carrying Ruan Jiaojiaoâs backpack and thought about it a bit more than the boys. She held Ruan Jiaojiaoâs arm and asked: âWill Xu Jie bully you in the future?â
Ruan Jiaojiao didnât care and snorted: âWho knows who will bully whom.â After all, she had nine brothers, two stepbrothers, and even a Beast King buddy!
