Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Three Naive Ghosts (6)_1

She didn’t want to trouble the teacher again next year, so she thought she’d just take the final exam with the fourth graders this year. If she passed, she could start the next year with them.

Xiu Xun came looking for her during the second break, and right on his heels was Yuan Xiaodong.

But Yuan Xiaodong was looking for Xiu Xi, and Xiu Xun was looking for her.

He stood outside the window and had a classmate relay a message, asking her to step outside.

At that time, Ruan Jiaojiao was being teased into laughter by Ruan Wei, and only after a nudge from a classmate did she look over.

Xiu Xun?

Ruan Jiaojiao was somewhat surprised.

It had been half a year since he last gave her a birthday gift, and there had been no interaction between them ever since. She had no idea why he was looking for her again.

She thanked the classmate who had reminded her, stood up, and walked out, unaware that as she left, the person sitting next to her turned pale.

"..." Yuan Xiaodong, just entering through the classroom door, caught sight of Xiu Xi’s grim expression. He shuddered, thinking that even though Xiu Xi had never been particularly kind to him, he had never seen him look this bad.

Frightened, he didn’t dare to enter and stood frozen at the door, wondering if he had done something lately to anger Xiu Xi. But after racking his brain and coming up empty, he cautiously walked in.

He asked, "Xiu Xi, are you and Sister Ruan planning to skip a grade again?"

Yuan Xiaodong, being seven years old, was actually more than a year older than Ruan Jiaojiao, but he didn’t dare call her "little sister," let alone "Jiaojiao." Using her full name seemed even worse, so after much deliberation, he settled on this term of address. After all, he had even called his young auntie as such, so one more "sister" wouldn’t make a difference.

Xiu Xi’s response was to push him aside, staring outside with a stony expression.

"..." Yuan Xiaodong, pushed quite a distance away, had no comeback. He tiptoed back, yet this time he didn’t dare to block Xiu Xi’s view.

Following Xiu Xi’s gaze outside, he felt that his brother’s eyes were particularly fierce at that moment. Of course, he knew the ferocity would not be directed at Sister Ruan, so it must be toward the other person.

"Bro Xiu Xi, do you want me to teach him a lesson!" he offered, feeling quite chivalrous. After asking, he answered his own question, "We brothers have strength in numbers. After school, we can corner him and giving him a beating is absolutely no problem!"

Xiu Xi looked at him as if he were an idiot, and this time Yuan Xiaodong didn’t dare to speak out of turn again, and just silently joined him in staring down that brat!

Meanwhile, outside.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked perplexedly at Xiu Xun, who had come to find her, yet remained silent for such a long time.

Just as she was about to run out of patience, she finally heard Xiu Xun ask, "You’re skipping a grade again?" His voice carried an indiscernible melancholy.

"Yes," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, still not understanding what this had to do with him.

"I’m moving up to third grade next semester," Xiu Xun lifted his head and said.

"???" Ruan Jiaojiao.

Blinking, as she looked at his somewhat desolate expression, an astonishing thought suddenly popped into her head. Could it be that Xiu Xun was moving up to third grade because of her?!!

"Why are you skipping a grade? You’re not doing this because of me, are you?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked, somewhat in disbelief.

What terrified her even more was that she actually saw him nod!
