Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: It’s My Cat (8)
But it was no use; she still felt like someone kicked her in the back of her knee, and in the next second, she lost control and fell forward.
Jiaojiao thought that this time she might not be so lucky. She could almost foresee her tragic state, possibly even dying, and if she was lucky, she’d still face a bone fracture.
She covered her face with her hands, just praying to be a little lucky and not ruin this face.
But a few seconds later, she felt her body, which had been leaning forward, return to its original position. There was a force pulling her shoulder and arm backwards.
"Jiaojiao, are you okay?" Yang Xiaona was so scared that her face turned white, and her hands gripping Jiaojiao’s shoulders were trembling.
"You little girl, you really aren’t afraid of death. At this height, anyone could easily step on you and squash you!" A familiar male voice sounded from the other side.
Ruan Jiaojiao was pulled into Yang Xiaona’s arms and felt safe enough to look up at the person holding her arm.
"Qin Yue?" Jiaojiao remembered that he seemed to be called that.
"I think you should call me your savior." Qin Yue snorted, looking down at the short little thing who barely reached his shoulder: "Where’s your brother? How could they let you wander around alone?"
The tone was as if Jiaojiao was a little pet that needed someone to accompany her for a walk.
Yes, she did need someone.
But the way he said it felt different.
"Qin Yue, what are you doing? If you have something to say, say it to us. If you dare touch my sister, don’t blame me for being rude." Ruan Lei and others came out of the classroom, didn’t see Ruan Jiaojiao in class two, walked over to this side, and saw this scene, thinking Qin Yue was bullying her.
"Nonsense." Qin Yue couldn’t be bothered to explain, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked away with the crowd.
Ruan Jiaojiao was still a bit shaken. She held tightly onto Yang Xiaona while explaining to Ruan Lei and the others, "Brother, Qin Yue wasn’t bullying me. I almost fell down the stairs just now, and he saved me."
"Fell down the stairs? Are you okay? Did you sprain anything? Move your legs, shake your foot..." Hearing that Jiaojiao almost fell down the stairs, Ruan Lei quickly ran a few steps up to her, checking her over.
"I’m fine, nothing happened, Xiaona and Qin Yue caught me." But thinking back, she still felt a bit fearful.
"Why were you in such a hurry? We can pick up the food." Lu Zishu frowned. They were in the first year on the third floor, normally Zhao Li and Ruanlin Family would deliver meals, and he and Ruan Lei would go down to get them. He thought Ruan Jiaojiao was rushing down to pick up the meals.
"Brother Xu went out in the second period and hasn’t come back for two periods. I’m a bit worried and wanted to go ask Mom."
"What’s there to ask? He’s a grown man, he won’t go missing." Ruan Lei rolled his eyes, but still, he and Lu Zishu walked one in front and one behind, protecting her as they descended.
By now, there were almost no students in the stairwell, most of them had left.
Ruan Jiaojiao clutched Yang Xiaona’s hand tighter, afraid of being careless, carefully watching every step.
In front, Ruan Lei thought she was scared from earlier, quickly comforting her, "Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid, walk boldly. If you fall, your brother will be here to cushion you, you won’t get hurt."
