Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Skipping Grades (6)_1

Shu Jie was a highly educated intellectual with a good family background. The education she received from an early age was different from that of the Ruan Family, who were fierce in nature and protective of their own, often judging people rather than situations.

Shu Jie, on the other hand, cared more about her own words and actions. Many things, if they didn’t cross her bottom line, she generally wouldn’t fuss over because her education taught her to be generous, steady, wise, cool-headed, and well-mannered.

It wasn’t just with children that she was unlikely to quarrel, but even with adults.

And now she was telling her that she would not let a child off the hook?

Ruan Jiaojiao was significantly shocked.

"Silly child, you’re your mother’s treasure. For you, your mother is willing to do anything. I will protect you and absolutely won’t let anyone bully you," Shu Jie said with a trace of sadness, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao’s astonished face.

Reflecting on herself, she wondered just how much she must have failed in the past for her daughter to think she wouldn’t take her side, but help others instead?

Ruan Jiaojiao bit her lip and looked at her, still somewhat unbelieving.

She was silent for a few seconds before breaking into a radiant smile.

With a wide grin, she sweetly called out, "Mom."

"?" Shu Jie looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had suddenly started laughing, and why she looked so adorably sweet while doing so.

Ruan Jiaojiao, however, leaned in and gave her a kiss: "Thank you, Mom."

"..." Shu Jie was frozen in place.

She could hardly believe that her daughter had actually kissed her!

As she looked at her, her eyes began to well up with tears again. Ruan Jiaojiao quickly said, "Don’t cry, Grandma says that if a girl cries too much, she’ll grow up ugly."

"Alright, Mom won’t cry," Shu Jie, choking up, replied, her heart already overflowing with joy.

This was her daughter, such a well-behaved daughter, such a sweet and lovable daughter.

She bent down and kissed her daughter’s little cheek in return, saying affectionately, "Mom also thanks you, my treasure." She had reignited hope, as she had thought that her daughter might remain distant from her for a lifetime.

But now she knew that, as long as she made the effort, her daughter would still be close to her heart.

Now it was Ruan Jiaojiao who felt somewhat shy. She stood up, looking at the sun outside the big tree, and deliberately changed the subject, "Mom, you should wear a hat or carry an umbrella next time you go out. Otherwise, it’s too sunny."

The summer sun was no joke; it could practically melt a person.

"Okay," Shu Jie agreed, straightening her daughter’s clothes, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and telling her to hurry to the classroom to rest. After watching her leave, she then turned and left the school.

However, once Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi entered the classroom, they started to regret it.

The scene had been too melodramatic, and she had forgotten to mention skipping a grade; but then she thought it was the same to bring it up after school—there was no rush.

Lunch break lasted forty minutes, and the classroom had no electric fans. Kids of their age didn’t like to sleep, so the whole classroom was generally noisy.

But Ruan Jiaojiao was used to taking a nap. Now, sleepy and hot and disturbed by the noise that made her head buzz, her little arm also had small red marks and sweat stains from being used as a pillow, she turned to Xiu Xi and whispered, "Xiu brother, I really miss our time in the forest."

"You don’t know how lucky I was. I found a small cave on a cliff, and no animals lived in it. I guarded it for several days, and it was as if it was tailor-made for me. The height was just right, the size was just right, and it was warm in winter and cool in summer—so comfortable."
