The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1670: Family? Friendship? Or Love? (12)
Cao Qiu was a bit worried: "I’ve heard from others that her family seems quite powerful, Jiaojiao, could she..."
"I’m not afraid. No matter how powerful her family is, they can’t twist the truth." In this matter, Ruan Jiaojiao had no intention of backing down.
"Don’t worry, Little One, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If she dares to bother you, I’ll beat her up!" Li Que said loudly. She was more interested in something else: "Little One, what’s going on with you and your brother Xu?"
What’s going on?
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know how to answer. She couldn’t exactly say she’d realized she had inappropriate thoughts about a friend, so she felt guilty, right?
Ruan Jiaojiao never answered. Li Que waited for a while and, not hearing anything, thought she had fallen asleep. She then raised her head for a glance and lay back down to sleep.
But in fact, Ruan Jiaojiao had trouble sleeping this night, not falling asleep until midnight, while Li Que was already snoring away by then.
When the bugle call sounded the next morning, Ruan Jiaojiao felt as if her whole body had fallen apart. Liang Wenjing had a similar reaction.
On the other hand, Cao Qiu and Li Que seemed unaffected. The former was used to doing farm work at home, and the latter was an athlete, so this level of exertion was nothing to her.
Ruan Jiaojiao was so sore all over that when she climbed out of bed, it was Li Que who helped her down by holding her small waist.
When Li Que set her down, she pinched her waist playfully, "Little One, your waist is really soft and thin."
Ruan Jiaojiao was ticklish, and her small body squirmed in Li Que’s embrace, pulling her limbs, which led to another round of hissing gasps of pain. Only then did Li Que release her, still amused.
The morning wash water was brought by Cao Qiu again. With experience from yesterday, Ruan Jiaojiao got ready quickly and noticed that everyone walked awkwardly today, unlike the rush of yesterday.
When Ruan Jiaojiao reached the first floor, Aunt Tang peeked out from a room and called to her, "Jiaojiao, come here for a moment."
Ruan Jiaojiao walked over, and Aunt Tang immediately pulled her into the room, whispering, "Jiaojiao, did you get into a conflict with someone? Yesterday, someone called me and said they wanted to deal with you."
In fact, Aunt Tang had wanted to tell Ruan Jiaojiao about it yesterday, but Ruan Jiaojiao had returned very late, and the dorm lights were going out soon. She didn’t want to disturb her rest, so she held off.
She specifically waited at the door this morning.
A little after 9:30 last night, a rather fashionable young girl barged in angrily to make a call. She had been tidying things up inside, and overheard the girl mention Ruan Jiaojiao’s name and saying ominous things about not letting her have peace.
Ruan Jiaojiao was initially taken aback but quickly understood who Aunt Tang was talking about. It must have been Zheng Jiaojiao.
Seeing Aunt Tang’s worried eyes, Ruan Jiaojiao felt warmth in her heart and reassured, "Aunt Tang, I know who you’re talking about. Don’t worry, she can’t hurt me. I’m going to the assembly now, but I’ll come by for lunch at noon."
Aunt Tang saw that Ruan Jiaojiao knew what was going on and felt relieved.
When Ruan Jiaojiao ran to the assembly ground, there weren’t many people yet, but Zheng Jiaojiao was there. Seeing her arrive, she gave her a cold smile, in stark contrast to her demeanor in the dean’s office yesterday.
