Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: Let Her Stay With You (Part 3)
Ruan Jianguo even directly said, "Sweetheart, why not just rest at home for a day, this class is never-ending, missing a day or half a day won’t make a difference."
Shu Jiao was holding Ruan Jiaojiao, and upon hearing this, she glared at him, and Ruan Jiaojiao said, "Dad, if you do this, you’ll spoil me."
After speaking, she snuggled into Shu Jiao’s arms again, whispering, "I’m okay, I just had a nightmare."
"Hmm, if you really feel unwell, remember to come find mom." Shu Jiao gently patted her back, speaking softly.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, feeling like she could persevere a bit more.
When they arrived at school, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were earlier than usual; there weren’t many students in the class yet.
Yang Xiaona was seated doing problems, and seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi’s figures, her eyes immediately lit up.
But she quickly furrowed her brow in worry, asking with concern, "Jiaojiao, are you sick?"
Ruan Jiaojiao groaned in pain, complaining, "It’s worse than being sick, I’ve got insomnia."
"Insomnia? Is it that you can’t sleep?" Yang Xiaona had never experienced insomnia and didn’t understand the feeling, she just saw Ruan Jiaojiao looking weak and pale, which made her feel a bit sorry.
She said, "It’s still early, why don’t you lay down and nap for a while."
Ruan Jiaojiao weakly shook her head, worried that once she laid down, she wouldn’t be able to get back up.
She began the school term missing three days of classes, and now in the second week, she’s sleeping during morning reading class, it was really inappropriate; she didn’t want the class teacher to think she was relying on Shu Jiao to do as she pleased, with such an improper attitude.
Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao persisting, Yang Xiaona, despite feeling bad, didn’t continue to disturb her, just occasionally lifted her head to check on her condition while doing her exercises.
A few minutes later, the classmates began to trickle into the class.
Lu Zishu was the last to enter, perhaps waking up too late, only having time to wash his face and brush his teeth—the hair was unkempt, with a few strands sticking up in the middle of his forehead, looking particularly silly.
Walking while checking his hair with a small mirror, occasionally using his hand to press it down, he casually glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao when he reached Xiu Xi’s seat.
"Whoa, Jiaojiao, tell me, you guys missed last night’s self-study, right? Were you secretly off stealing something? Look at those dark circles under your eyes, they could rival a panda’s!" Lu Zishu exclaimed dramatically, pointing at the dark circles on Ruan Jiaojiao’s face, and annoyingly held his small mirror close to her face.
Ruan Jiaojiao weakly glared at him, not even bothering to answer.
She propped her chin with her hand, staring at the open textbook on her desk, but hadn’t read a single word.
Meanwhile, the faint sound of reading gradually filled the surroundings.
Ruan Jiaojiao never realized how effective these reading sounds were for hypnosis; she tried hard to stay awake, yet the sound of the reading felt like a lullaby, making her eyelids heavier and harder to keep open.
Seeing her so sleepy but still not resting, Xiu Xi put down his book, coaxing her, "Just nap for a bit, or you’ll be even more tired in class later."
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him sluggishly, tearfully yawned, thinking what he said made sense, and thought it better to take a quick nap now, otherwise staying like this during class would truly be a loss.
