Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124 Conjoined Twins (2)
Ruan Jiaojiao’s leg injury isn’t serious, nor particularly painful. Her movements aren’t restricted, but when she went to wash up, Xiu Xi carried her there anyway, worried she might strain herself walking and tear the wound, which would extend the recovery time.
Once Xiu Xi brought her to the bathroom, he left. Ruan Jiaojiao thought he had gone downstairs for breakfast or something else. She squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush, just inserting it into her mouth when she saw Xiu Xi walk in with his own toothbrush and cup.
“???”, Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him full of confusion.
The villa they bought was big enough, every room has a bathroom. She didn’t understand why Xiu Xi came to her room to brush his teeth.
“Just getting used to it.” Like he saw through Ruan Jiaojiao’s confusion, Xiu Xi answered.
“…,” said Ruan Jiaojiao.
Alright then.
Ruan Jiaojiao silently moved to the side.
It took them thirty minutes to finish washing up and have breakfast. Considering the twenty-minute distance from the Ruan Family to school, Xiu Xi walked fast even with Ruan Jiaojiao on his back, reaching the school in just fifteen minutes. Today Shu Jiao didn’t let Ruan Jianguo drive them; she accompanied them instead.
Upon arriving at the school, it was just the time for students to hurry to their classrooms. Ruan Jiaojiao on Xiu Xi’s back, accompanied by Shu Jiao, stood out in the crowd.
Occasionally, someone passing by Shu Jiao would greet her with a “Teacher Shu” and discreetly observe Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi.
Ruan Jiaojiao was well accustomed to such scrutiny; she simply pretended not to notice it, chatting with Shu Jiao along the way. When they reached the entrance of the teaching building, Ruan Jiaojiao said, “Mom, you don’t need to accompany us.” She reached for the bag Shu Jiao was carrying, which contained her medicine and the breakfast she brought for Ruan Lei and the others.
“It’s okay, I have a little time. Mom has things to discuss with your class teacher.” Shu Jiao replied. After Xiu Xi mentioned Ruan Jiaojiao’s condition yesterday, her nerves had been tense, having almost stayed up all night talking with Ruan Jianguo.
Now she was as anxious about Ruan Jiaojiao as when she had just returned, fearful that in the blink of an eye, something might happen to her, especially since Xiu Xi couldn’t guarantee her safety.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her, then nodded obediently.
She had felt something was off from the moment she woke up. Her family was obviously tense around her, that kind of tension seemed like they needed to keep their eyes constantly on her.
Yet she still didn’t understand why they were like this.
She couldn’t figure out what on earth was making them so nervous.
Could it be someone was coming to steal her body again?
Ruan Jiaojiao was lost in random thoughts, when Xiu Xi carried her to the third-floor classroom door, where Ruan Lei, Lu Zishu, and Yang Tao were already waiting.
“Jiaojiao… are you feeling any better?” Yang Tao asked, circling behind her to look at her leg injury, finding it awkward to call her by her nickname with Shu Jiao present.
“It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt. Here’s the breakfast I brought for you guys, want some?” Ruan Jiaojiao answered with a big smile. After Xiu Xi put her on a chair, she pointed to the bag Shu Jiao was carrying.
Shu Jiao smiled at the three, handing them the bag. While they rummaged through it for food, she squatted in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, softly saying, “Jiaojiao, I’ll head down now; I’ll come back to pick you up at noon.”
