Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Jiaojiao is a Little Lucky Star (9)_1

Zhao Li’s birthday was on a Thursday, and the night before, there had been a torrential downpour, which brought a hint of autumn. When they got up in the morning, the temperature had dropped, and it felt a bit chilly.

Shu Jiao dressed Ruan Jiaojiao in a pink dress, with white stockings and red little leather shoes underneath.

As the weather was no longer hot, and even a bit cold, Shu Jiao also paired it with a little white hat with lace trim, which just covered the patch of hair on her head that hadn’t grown back yet.

In that outfit, she looked so adorable, she could have been mistaken for a little princess.

When Xiu Xi came downstairs and saw her, he was stunned for a moment.

Ruan Jiaojiao asked with a smile, "Brother Xiu, do I look pretty?"

Xiu Xi came to his senses, nodded, and honestly replied, "Yes, you look very pretty." And then, to his surprise, his little face blushed.

Seeing this, Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family couldn’t contain their amusement. Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been quite confident, now blushed shyly.

In that era when resources were scarce and people commonly wore dull-colored, coarse clothes that turned greyish with wear, Ruan Jiaojiao’s outfit instantly captured everyone’s attention when she stepped out.

Ruan Feng, the Little Fatty, and the others escorted Ruan Jiaojiao to the classroom, their little chests puffed up with pride all the way.

In the past, they had taken pride in being undefeated fighters in the school, but now they were proud to have such a smart and pretty little sister.

When she was in first grade, although Ruan Jiaojiao was the youngest, the age difference was usually only two or three years. But now that she had moved up to the third grade, that difference had doubled.

In the eyes of everyone in the class, Ruan Jiaojiao, young in age, excellent in grades, and sweet when she smiled, occasionally even bringing candies for the whole class, was truly like a little fairy. Even the naughtiest student in class would naturally become gentle with her, treating her like their own little sister.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao entered the classroom, everyone gasped in surprise. Several girls, who were especially close to her, crowded around, asking all sorts of curious questions and occasionally reaching out to touch.

After Ruan Jiaojiao took off her hat, one of the tanned girls shyly asked, "Jiaojiao, may I try the hat on?"

"Of course," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded and generously said, "Anyone who wants to try can have a go."

The girls were instantly thrilled and began passing the hat around to try it on, but perhaps due to its white color, which was quite picky with complexion, most of them, used to farm work and sun-tanned, did not look as fair as Ruan Jiaojiao, and the hat didn’t suit them as well.

The boys started teasing, saying the girls looked like ugly ducklings in the hat, provoking a flurry of chasing and hitting around the classroom, filling it with laughter and joy.

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh as well.

It wasn’t until the bell for the morning reading session rang that everyone returned the hat to Ruan Jiaojiao and went back to their seats to start reading the text.

Zhao Li’s birthday party was to have the main meal at noon. Shu Jiao and the Ruanlins came to pick up Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi after their third period had ended. They were heading over for lunch and, if time permitted, would return to school afterward.

They also picked up Lu Zishu from the neighboring class, who was in fourth grade.

By the time they arrived, the Lu Family had already welcomed many guests. The Lu Family had a wide network of connections; this time, for Zhao Li’s birthday, she formally invited only a few households, the rest came on their own accord.

Zhao Li had been waiting eagerly at the door, and as soon as she saw Ruan Jiaojiao and the others arriving, she greeted them with great excitement.
