Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: It’s My Cat (2)
Seeing Ruan Lei’s expression was off, Lu Zishu felt anxious inside. He feared he’d ruin his brother’s first day of dating, especially at this moment when the bell rang, prompting Lu Zishu to quickly skedaddle, leaving Ruan Lei alone with this doubt to go to the classroom.
In Class Two’s classroom, Ruan Jiaojiao and Yang Xiaona had already arrived.
Yang Xiaona previously said she brought something tasty for Ruan Jiaojiao, but it was actually a sour pear.
Sour pears are picked in June and July when the skin is green, and by September, the skin turns brown, the flesh becomes coarse, and the texture is hard. To Ruan Jiaojiao, who’s used to eating the fruits Xiaobai brought back, this sour pear can’t be considered good.
If she were at the Ruan Family’s house, she probably wouldn’t touch it.
But this was brought by Yang Xiaona. She knew Yang Xiaona’s family wasn’t well off, and this sour pear might be the best thing for her. She was afraid if she didn’t accept it, Yang Xiaona might feel she was being snobbish.
So not only did she accept it, but she also happily thanked her and put it into her backpack.
Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t picky and even seemed to like it, Yang Xiaona was indeed very happy, happier than if she had eaten it herself.
She slept at the Ruan Family’s house last night, and as soon as she entered, she found three plates of fruit on the coffee table in the living room, including apples, bananas, grapes, and some fruits she had never seen before, all large and full.
She knew Ruan Jiaojiao’s family was well off and didn’t lack anything, and indeed, she didn’t have anything good to give her.
But this sour pear was grown in her backyard this year, and since her parents doted on her brother, they didn’t allow the sisters to eat. So before the fruits fully ripened, the four sisters each picked two and hid them away.
This sour pear stores well and doesn’t spoil easily. She ate one last month, finding it sour and sweet. To others, it might be the least valuable fruit, but to her, it’s truly the best thing she can present.
Having eaten one, she thought to bring the remaining one to Ruan Jiaojiao the first thing when returning home.
To her, this was something good, but she wasn’t sure if Ruan Jiaojiao, who had everything, would despise it.
She was a bit nervous when giving it out.
Now, seeing her happily accept it without a hint of disdain, she was really delighted, happier than if she had eaten it herself.
Xu Xi, sitting nearby, naturally witnessed this scene.
Thinking of how he gave so many things to Ruan Jiaojiao, never seeing her treasure them like this, and now seeing her cherishing a lousy pear from someone else, coupled with Shu Jiao’s attitude towards Yang Xiaona, his face, already looking unfavorable, turned even darker.
If at this moment Ruan Jiaojiao turned around to look, she would surely notice how off-kilter her friend was, but she was distracted by the extracurricular book in front of her and didn’t notice her friend’s unusual state.
It wasn’t until the bell rang for evening self-study that Ruan Jiaojiao snapped out of her reading, tidied up, and was pulled outside by Yang Xiaona.
"..." Xu Xi’s face was as dark as a pot’s bottom.
"!!!" Lu Zishu.
Seeing Xu Xi’s unpleasant expression, he practically ran off, too scared!
The group only separated at the school gate, during which Ruan Jiaojiao was flanked by Yang Tao and Yang Xiaona. The three girls chatted and laughed nonstop along the way.
