Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126 Conjoined Twins (4)
Xu Jie lowered her head and looked at the new sportswear she had just bought for the start of school, feeling a bit bitter inside, losing even the thought of talking.
Next to her, Yang Xiaona was holding the bunch of candies given by Ruan Jiaojiao, her face flushed with nervousness, her voice trembling slightly: “Thank you… thank you, Student Jiaojiao.”
Yang Xiaona was seventeen this year, half a year away from eighteen. Her family was not well-off; her parents had more children to have a son, giving birth to two more sisters in a row. It wasn’t until the fifth child that they finally had a son.
For this son, when her third sister was born a few years ago, the family was fined a lot. Not only were the furniture moved out, but even the doors of the house were dismantled. The family was truly dirt poor.
She was sent to high school mainly because her parents wanted to marry her off as soon as she became an adult, to marry into the city and get a sizable bridal gift, hence allowing her to attend a year of high school as a facade.
She hadn’t seen a single candy during the New Year celebrations, but now, given so many by Ruan Jiaojiao, her eyes reddened with emotion. Afraid of dirtying the candies, she cautiously stuffed them under her black, grimy desk.
“No need to thank, we will be classmates from now on.” Ruan Jiaojiao waved nonchalantly, smiling broadly. Naturally beautiful and delicate, her smile made it impossible not to look.
Yang Xiaona was mesmerized for a moment, her face turning crimson, feeling like she had never seen anyone more beautiful.
Yang Xiaona’s intense gaze was too obvious, making Ruan Jiaojiao find it amusing. Xiu Xi next to her turned his face serious, finally lifting his eyes to glance warningly at the person nearby, startling Yang Xiaona to quickly retract her gaze, though her face grew even redder.
“Little Frog,” Yang Tao beside them murmured while chewing on a fried dough stick, asking jealously, “Now that I’m not in the same class with you, does that mean I won’t get candies?”
Ruan Jiaojiao’s family was well-off, and the Ruanlin Family was thoughtful. Therefore, during her three years in middle school, each birthday she stuck to tradition, giving out candies and colored eggs to classmates for good luck.
Yang Tao, being in the same class, naturally knew this.
Seeing her making friends upon arrival and ignoring herself, it was only natural to feel a bit jealous.
“Here, take as much as you want.” Ruan Jiaojiao pointed at her desk, showing a “do I really have to hand the candies to you?” expression, making Yang Tao feel happy inside, all bitterness vanished completely.
Next to them, Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu exchanged looks and both rolled their eyes dramatically before continuing to eat the breakfast Ruan Jiaojiao had brought.
Yang Men entered the classroom while Yang Tao was talking to Ruan Jiaojiao about the girl who almost hit her yesterday.
“That girl is in my class, named Xiao Yan Yu. Yesterday, when that kettle almost hit you, she first denied ownership of it, then her dorm mates pointed to her and she claimed it wasn’t placed there by her. Ridiculous, she was the only one in the dorm at that time. If it wasn’t her who put it, was it a ghost?”
During the argument with Xiao Yan Yu yesterday, Yang Tao initially didn’t have the upper hand; it was only after Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu came to support her that the girl gradually softened.
“Little Frog, Auntie just left in a hurry, and I forgot to ask, how should we handle this?” Yang Tao asked.
