Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Turning Point (3)
Wu Le was initially stunned, then nervously averted her gaze, touching her ear with her hand: "No... no, what could have happened."
"Mom, whenever you lie you can’t look people in the eye and touch your ear. Don’t you realize?" Ruan Feng looked at her.
Wu Le was startled and widened her eyes. Was she really like this? She had never noticed before.
Standing beside them, Zhao Li was also a bit surprised as she glanced at Ruan Feng, amazed at how perceptive the kids from the Ruan Family were. Thinking of her own two rascals, she felt that even if she and Lu Zhiwei died, they might not notice, and she couldn’t help but feel even more disdain.
She said to Wu Le, "Xiaofeng’s mom, I’ll go have a look over there first. You can come find me once you’re done."
"Okay, okay." Wu Le hesitantly nodded.
On the other side, after sending Wu Le and Zhao Li out, Ruan Jiaojiao was about to go to the bathroom when Xiu Xi immediately crouched in front of her to carry her. By the window, Yang Xiaona, who was chewing on a steamed bun, saw this and instantly put down the unfinished bun, walking up: "Jiaojiao, are you heading to the bathroom? Let me carry you."
Yang Xiaona wasn’t willing to waste this rare opportunity. She always remembered Ruan Jiaojiao’s treat of spicy meat sauce, and she wouldn’t feel right until she had repaid her.
Ruan Jiaojiao was just about to lean onto Xiu Xi’s back when she saw Yang Xiaona crouching by her chair without a word, and awkwardly licked her lips.
"Xiaona, Brother Xi..."
"Jiaojiao, you’re a girl, and the class president is a guy. Let me carry you. Are you afraid I don’t have the strength? Don’t worry; I’m plenty strong enough to carry you."
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
Feeling that several classmates in the class were looking over, Ruan Jiaojiao grew more embarrassed. She was willing to let Yang Xiaona carry her since it wasn’t quite appropriate for Xiu Xi to carry her to the bathroom. However, reality didn’t permit it. If Yang Xiaona carried her, she might not even make it to the bathroom before something embarrassing happened, and that would be the real tragedy.
While Ruan Jiaojiao hesitated, Xiu Xi had already hooked her knees with his hands and lifted her: "Hold me."
Ruan Jiaojiao was startled, scared of falling backward, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
With Ruan Jiaojiao on his back, Xiu Xi stood up and started walking out, Yang Xiaona hesitated for a second before immediately following, shouting as she chased: "Class president, let me do it, class president I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the plaque with the class name above the doorway fall directly onto the heads of the pair in front of her, aiming precisely at the center above Ruan Jiaojiao’s head.
The plaque wasn’t large, but it was made of iron, hung by a rope on a nail, falling with one corner in a downward position.
If it had struck Ruan Jiaojiao’s head, this sharp corner might not have caused a hole, but Ruan Jiaojiao would certainly be injured. Without thinking, Yang Xiaona reached out to catch it.
Whether it was sheer luck or her speed was fast enough, she managed to grab the plaque just as it was about to strike Ruan Jiaojiao’s head.
"..." Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu, about to shout warnings, stared at her in astonishment, swallowing their words.
Damn, why did they feel the air of a hero in her moves?
