Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148 Fear of Death (9)
So at this point, when the three hurried to the classroom, their reactions to Ruan Jiaojiao varied.
Yang Men just felt that Xiu Xi was a hopeless case, wasting such a face. She was willing to lend a helping hand to pull him out of the mire, but he didn’t know to cherish it. It was simply a case of willing depravity, not worth sympathy.
Xu Jie was both envious and jealous of Ruan Jiaojiao. Her family wasn’t just wealthy, living in a big villa, wearing the best clothes and shoes, with a mother like Shu Jiao as a teacher. It’s said she has nine older brothers spoiling her since childhood, which is simply the life all girls envy.
As for Yang Xiaona, things were simpler. She just purely felt that Ruan Jiaojiao was really beautiful, and really nice. The candy Ruan Jiaojiao gave her yesterday, she was only willing to eat one piece, planning to take the rest back for her younger sisters.
She looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, her gaze involuntarily falling on her calf.
Ruan Jiaojiao walked a lot last night, so her wound tore open. Last night, the Ruanlin Family attentively applied medicine. Today it started to scab again, but since it had scabbed once before, scabbing again now made the scar look large, even somewhat unsightly.
A centipede-like scar on her fair, tender calf seemed so glaring to Yang Xiaona. Instinctively, she felt such a wound shouldn’t appear on her.
The entire first-year class knew how Ruan Jiaojiao got injured.
Xiao Yan was a student from a poor family. It’s said the tuition for high school was borrowed; the Ruan Family’s medical bill of just over ten bucks wasn’t a small sum for Xu Yan.
Many people knew Ruan Jiaojiao’s family was wealthy, giving out candy in large handfuls, a few bucks each. They felt the Ruan Family shouldn’t be so aggressive. After all, Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t seriously injured, and it wasn’t like they needed that ten-odd bucks; it really wasn’t right to hold it against Xiao Yan.
At first, Yang Xiaona thought the same way. Her family was also poor, so poor they couldn’t afford even a hot water bottle, though it cost only four or five bucks apiece. Even though at home there was an old one, her parents were reluctant to give it to her, wanting to save it for her brother to make gruel, so she didn’t have things everyone else had.
So at first, she felt that the wealthy Ruan Jiaojiao shouldn’t argue over this with Xiao Yan, but now seeing that gruesome wound on Ruan Jiaojiao’s leg, her thoughts changed.
Ruan Jiaojiao, being so fair and small, must be really afraid of pain, right? You see she’s in enough pain to not walk. She thought of the incident yesterday when Ruan Jiaojiao hurt her hand again while going to the restroom, and another thought came to her mind.
The class president was a boy, embarrassed to go in, Yang Tao couldn’t carry Ruan Jiaojiao, she thought she surely could with her large build. She decided to tell Ruan Jiaojiao later that she would carry her to the restroom, ensuring she wouldn’t get hurt again. After all, Jiaojiao had been so generous with the candies, how could she let her suffer in vain?
Ruan Jiaojiao was lying on Xiu Xi’s back, still talking with Shu Jiao, unaware of others’ thoughts. When they arrived at the classroom door, Shu Jiao, just as yesterday, personally escorted Ruan Jiaojiao into the classroom, kissed her on the forehead, then left with a breakfast pack for Ruan Feng.
Xu Jie, who came in alongside, was filled with envy. She wasn’t the only child in her family, having an older brother. Although her family didn’t favor boys over girls heavily, she couldn’t be as pampered as Ruan Jiaojiao was.
