Chapter 1661: Family? Friendship? Or Love? (3)

Thinking of this, Jiaojiao felt a bit restless. Jiang Xun was singing in front, and she frowned and sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Ruan Jie looked at her. "Don’t know what talent to perform?"

Jiaojiao pouted, "A bit annoyed."

"Hmm?" Ruan Jie looked at her seriously. "What’s bothering you? Tell your brother."

Jiaojiao thought of his clueless behavior, just like Ruan Dakuan’s, and shook her head slowly, "Bro, you wouldn’t understand."

"..." Ruan Jie.

He felt that he saw disdain in Jiaojiao’s eyes!

He wanted to say more, but then Jiang Xun finished, and everyone started to urge Jiaojiao to go on stage. Jiaojiao wasn’t pretentious; she stood up, patted her bottom, and went up.

She couldn’t dance, so she could only sing. As for singing, she couldn’t handle difficult songs, so after thinking it over, she chose a currently popular children’s song, "Catch the Loach."

As soon as she started singing, almost everyone’s attention was drawn to her.

It wasn’t that she sang particularly well, but she looked noticeably younger than her peers, was very pretty, and had a sweet voice with a delicate softness only a young girl could possess.

If people were described with flowers and plants, then the eighteen or nineteen-year-olds would be a bunch of fully blooming flowers and green leaves, boldly showcasing their proudest traits to the world.

At fifteen, Jiaojiao was like a bud about to bloom, still tender and dewy, enticing people while making them unwilling to harm her, only wanting to protect her better.

Watching her stand in the center of the playground, singing a children’s song, everyone’s agitated hearts, stirred by the summer heat, calmed down, as if her song took them back to a carefree childhood, playing in the fields.

The children’s song was short, and the lyrics simple. Jiaojiao didn’t repeat it, finishing in under two minutes. After singing, she smiled and bowed to the crowd, then jogged back with a flushed little face.

As she bent down to sit back in her seat, Ruan Jie affectionately ruffled her hair.

"Ruan Officer!!" Jiaojiao glared at him, feeling shy with so many people watching.

Ruan Jie looked at her amusedly, "What, just because I’m your officer, does that mean I’m not your brother anymore? As for the little wish to catch loaches, your brother will definitely help you with it!"

The other classes were far away, unable to hear what was happening. They only saw Ruan Jie’s affectionate gesture and, though a bit surprised, didn’t think much of it. After all, everyone saw that Jiaojiao was just fourteen or fifteen; it was pure affection, nothing ambiguous, just that Jiaojiao was indeed endearing.

But for Class Four, especially the first few rows, almost everyone heard what Ruan Jie said, and recalling their previous interactions, everyone looked shocked.

This... they’re siblings?!

Oh, my!

They looked at Ruan Jie, who was tall and rugged, then at Jiaojiao, who was fair-skinned and petite, like a delicate flower. They really couldn’t believe they were siblings.

Li Yaoyao, who was quite tall, stood in the last row. She was far away and didn’t hear what Ruan Jie said. She only saw people around him start talking in disbelief and immediately leaned forward to ask the classmates in front what happened.

"Ah, didn’t you hear? Jiaojiao and our officer are actually siblings, but, they probably aren’t biological siblings." That classmate said.
