The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1689: Confession (Part 6)

Before rejoining the group, Jiang Xun handed a bag to Ruan Jiaojiao.

This hiking trip required bringing a lot of things, and everyone had a little task assigned to them. Ruan Jiaojiao’s task was relatively easy, just a bit of vegetables.

Once the other classes had also gathered, the main group set out from the school at 7:00.

Compared to being cooped up in school for training, getting to go hiking and having a picnic had many people quite excited. Ruan Jiaojiao was someone who loved lively activities. In the past, she would have been very happy, but now, just thinking about Duan Xi made her feel uneasy.

Soon after they left the school gates, the bag in her hand was taken by Ruan Jie.

After what happened last time, all the freshmen in their year knew about the sibling relationship between the two, and the classmates in their class were no longer surprised by it.

Don’t be fooled by their instructor’s usual stern face, looking all fierce. But as soon as he faced their class, especially Ruan Jiaojiao, it was like he became a different person.

Some clever students even took advantage of their relationship to get some benefits. For instance, when the sun was too harsh, they’d bargain with Instructor Ruan, saying that even Student Jiaojiao couldn’t stand it, and suggested having a break or training under the shade.

And usually, at such times, their instructor would be exceptionally lenient.

So now in the class, Ruan Jiaojiao was truly the class favorite. Except for a few who didn’t get along with her, everyone else especially liked her and enjoyed doting on this classmate who was several years younger than them.

Ruan Jie helped Ruan Jiaojiao with her things. Initially, Zheng Jiaojiao would gossip about this with the two classmates she was close to, but she was soon retorted by a passing classmate, saying that if she was capable, she could find someone to help her too. After all, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t shirk her share of the task, she just had help.

Zheng Jiaojiao was speechless at that, and even the two classmates close to her quietly distanced themselves. Although they wanted to get in her good graces, they feared offending Ruan Jiaojiao more. Who didn’t know by now that Ruan Jiaojiao was Instructor Ruan’s own little sister, had a big brother coming to school to be a lecturer, and could even casually call the principal "Uncle Principal"!

Her background was much stronger than Zheng Jiaojiao’s.

Moreover, despite Ruan Jiaojiao’s solid background, she had an especially good personality. Unless someone deliberately provoked her, she was always smiling at everyone. Unlike Zheng Jiaojiao, who looked down on everyone, behaving arrogantly as if she wished to shout from a megaphone to the whole world that she had an uncle who was a doctoral tutor at the school.

By the time Zheng Jiaojiao realized it, there was no one around her, leaving her so angry she almost ground her teeth to dust.

She hated Ruan Jiaojiao, really hated her, but there was nothing she could do about her. In fact, even her cousin had repeatedly warned her not to provoke Ruan Jiaojiao!

It took only over twenty minutes to walk from the school to the foot of the mountain, and climbing up would take about two hours. If everything went smoothly, they could reach the top by 11 a.m., find a cool, open spot for a picnic, rest for two or three hours, and start heading down by about three in the afternoon.

Before hiking up, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain one more time to make sure no one was left behind before starting their ascent.

Ruan Jie, after all, was still worried about Ruan Jiaojiao’s well-being. Before they started climbing, he said to her, "If you can’t go on, just tell me, and I’ll pull you up, sis."
