The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1693: Confession (10)
Seeing that Jiaojiao clearly noticed he was injured but still indifferently withdrew her gaze, showing no reaction at all even as others in the class came over to show concern, it seemed as if she was disdainful of even looking at him more. This only made his face look worse, and adding the earlier scuffle, his expression truly turned ashen. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Class leader, are you okay? How about I go with you down the mountain to see a doctor?" Zheng Jiaojiao hovered around Jiang Xun, looking extremely worried.
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and tried to wipe the wound at the corner of his mouth with a freshly washed handkerchief. But as soon as she touched the corner of his mouth, Jiang Xun let out a hiss, and then pushed her away directly, making her stagger and almost fall forward.
She let out a surprised cry, but Jiang Xun didn’t even glance at her and walked off in another direction with a grim expression.
Zheng Jiaojiao steadied herself, looking at the gazes coming from all around, only to feel her face burning hot. She bit her lip, forced herself to calm down, and in the end, chose to follow after him.
"Huh, Zheng Jiaojiao really has a thick skin. If I were her, I’d find a hole to crawl into. She goes around bragging about her family having longstanding relations with the class leader’s family, but is this how a longtime family friend behaves?" A girl in the class, having watched the scene, turned to another girl beside her to comment.
Jiaojiao happened to follow behind the two and, hearing this, thought for a moment before turning to look for Ruan Jie. "Brother, why did they fight just now?"
Ruan Jie was teaching some students how to light a fire, with his whole body sprawled next to the pit blowing on the firewood. Hearing Jiaojiao, he turned his head to reply, "It was just a verbal dispute that led to a fight due to youthful impulsiveness. It’s fine now, it’s been handled. You go sit over there, there’s a lot of smoke here; don’t let it choke you."
After saying this, he seemed to remember something and added, "There are two apples and some pears in the bag I carried earlier, along with two cans of eight-treasure porridge. The apples and pears have been washed. If you’re hungry, eat first, and don’t run around! And don’t go to find Xiaoxi!" The last part he emphasized particularly.
Jiaojiao pursed her lips, obediently acknowledged, and rummaged through his bag to find the fruits he’d brought.
Although Ruan Jie himself lived quite roughly, he was very attentive when it came to Jiaojiao. The apples and pears were not only washed but also dried and wrapped in clean paper bags.
There were two apples and two pears. Jiaojiao thought of taking one to Duan Xi, but she didn’t know where Duan Xi was. To avoid causing trouble for the class, she finally obediently squatted to the side and took small bites of an apple.
In late September, the midday sun was so bright it was hard to keep one’s eyes open. Not everyone could handle outdoor tasks well, and among the class, there were quite a few city folk, leading to some inevitable chaos. People’s moods had long shifted from excitement to irritability.
But turning to see Jiaojiao squatting on the side, holding a large apple and nibbling on it, looking absolutely adorable, everyone seemed to settle down in an instant.
After Jiaojiao had eaten most of her apple, the fires in the different groups the class had split into were all finally lit. Jiaojiao quickly handed the rest to Ruan Jie and ran over to help.
The class had a total of 35 people, divided into five groups. Jiaojiao was in a group with Li Yaoyao, Wu Huan, and others. Li Yaoyao was also a city native and hardly ever cooked, so she was helping out as an assistant with Jiaojiao.
They busied themselves for over half an hour before barely managing to prepare five dishes.
