Chapter 527: Chapter 527: The Other Three Spoiled Brats (10)_1

Xiu Xun?!

Ruan Jiaojiao propped herself up from Ruanlin Family’s embrace and looked in the direction Du Qing was pointing, indeed spotting a little boy standing outside, it was Xiu Xun.

Seeing that she had woken up, Ruanlin Family set her down on the ground.

Ruan Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes, still not quite awake, her first few steps were staggered and unsteady, startling Zhao Li into quickly steadying her, "Careful, child."

With that, she took her small hand and led her to the doorway, and once she was more or less alert, Zhao Li turned and went back inside.

"Did you need something from me?" Ruan Jiaojiao curiously asked Xiu Xun, genuinely puzzled as the two of them didn’t have much to do with each other, and she wondered why he was looking for her.

Xiu Xun pressed his lips tightly together; he seemed to have grown a bit taller recently, as Ruan Jiaojiao needed to tilt her head slightly to look at him.

And as he was looking down, Ruan Jiaojiao could almost see every expression on his face.

She saw his embarrassment.

That made her even more curious, what exactly did he want with her?

After a few seconds of silence, just as Ruan Jiaojiao was about to ask again, Xiu Xun slowly took his hands from behind his back.

"This is for you," he said, handing over two exercise books, two pencils, and an eraser to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise, "For me?" She recognized the "Award" imprinted on the exercise books and knew naturally that these must be the prizes he had received for coming first today.

"Mhm, it’s for you," Xiu Xun confirmed once more, now starting to look at her. Seeing no scorn or disdain on her face, he finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

In fact, when he had seen Ruan Qun give his prize to her during the award ceremony, he had wanted to do the same.

But watching her other brothers, and Xiu Xi, give their prizes to her, he had felt too shy to offer his, afraid she wouldn’t care for it.

After returning home, when his foster mother saw the award he had received, she wanted to keep it, saying it would be saved for his brother to use for school. At that moment, he thought if it was destined that he himself wouldn’t use it, why not give it to her?

So he had snatched the prizes and, ignoring his foster mother’s scolding, dashed all the way to the Ruan Family’s home.

But when he arrived, the Ruan Family was having a meal, and not wanting them to think he had come to mooch food, he waited outside for a long time. Only after they had finished eating and cleared the table did he walk up to the front door from the side of the wall.

The exercise books and pencils were the rewards, and the eraser was the only thing he had bought with a little bit of pocket money.

Ruan Jiaojiao used to live at the old residence where he had taken notice of her, so he had always known her birthday, and the eraser had been prepared well in advance.

It might not be expensive, but it was all he had.

Ruan Jiaojiao regarded the eraser and exercise books in his hand with a complex expression.

She looked at him, pondered for two seconds, and then said, "Wait here for me."

She then turned and ran back inside to find the prizes she had received, a fountain pen and a notebook. She also asked Ruanlin Family for two red eggs and grabbed a large handful of candy before gasping for breath as she ran back outside.

Xiu Xun’s face had already turned somewhat dim outside, thinking Ruan Jiaojiao must have run back because she looked down on his gift. But seeing her return with her arms full of things made him freeze in surprise.

"You gave me this, so I’ll give you this, okay? This fountain pen, you’ll be able to use it when you get to third grade," Ruan Jiaojiao said with a smile.
