Chapter 612: Chapter 612 Graduation (9)_1

Xiu Xi, upon hearing this, did not speak but the color in his eyes deepened.

Not long after the two left the office, the principal’s voice came through the school broadcast, instructing all the students to carry their stools to the sports field to assemble for the upcoming award ceremony.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi exchanged a glance and both headed straight to the area designated for the sixth graders. As expected, they saw Little Fatty and Lu Zishu each carrying two stools their way. Seeing them approach, Lu Zishu rolled his eyes.

"Carry your own stuff!" he said as he put down the stools on the ground, and Xiu Xi immediately stepped forward to pick them up.

Little Fatty, of course, was reluctant to let his sister carry a stool, so he didn’t put it down. However, Xiu Xi, who was taller, leaner, and more handsome than him, stepped forward two steps and took Ruan Jiaojiao’s stool from him.

"..." Little Fatty. That annoying kid was still as disagreeable as ever. He hoped they wouldn’t be in the same class in the first year of middle school!

When they arrived at their class area, it was already filled with people. However, as they were seated according to their spots in class, their seats were a bit to the front, leaving space for them.

Today’s event was both a graduation and an award ceremony. The principal, the director, and outstanding teachers gave long speeches. However, considering the hot weather, the principal still tried to compress the time.

The awarding segment came around quickly.

Ruan Qun, in the fourth grade, won third place. Ruan Wei was in the fifth grade, the same class as Xiu Xun. Xiu Xun was ranked first, and Ruan Wei’s grades had improved a lot, earning him fifth place. It was the first time he received an award, and he was so delighted. Although Ruan Jiaojiao was already in the sixth grade, he was thrilled because he finally got a certificate and a prize before she graduated, and he eagerly presented it to her, relieving a regret.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were tied for first place and went up to receive their awards together. Throughout their years in elementary school, it had always been this way.

But this year was different.

They not only received awards but also wore big red flowers and took photos, which would later be displayed on the school’s publicity wall.

Xiu Xi was tall and slim, and even with the glaringly red flower, he looked like a beautiful youth who had stepped out of a painting. Ruan Jiaojiao... looked like a child dressed in adult’s clothes, comical yet cute, constantly adjusting the large flower.

The principal had invited the town’s photo studio to take pictures. Due to limited funds, they did not take individual photos for the two but had them photographed together instead.

Both adorned with large red flowers, one with plump little hands tugging at the strap below, appeared quite troubled, while the other, with a face slightly flushed and green eyes shining, displayed a subtle excitement.

"Alright, little girl, lift your head up and smile." Click, and the photograph was taken.

After taking a photo of the two, it was time for a group graduation photo with all the sixth graders. The girls stood in front, and the boys stood behind, elevated on chairs, with the teachers seated at the forefront.

Ruan Jiaojiao, being quite petite, would have been obscured among the group of female classmates. Thus, she was brought to the front, ahead of the teachers and crouched down in front of the principal for the photo.

During the photo shoot, everyone looked forward, except for one person who peered through the layers of dark heads at the little one in front.

"Hey, handsome lad, stop staring down there. No matter how much you stare, you won’t see flowers bloom. Come on, look forward, look at the camera." The photographer called out several times to look forward but noticed that Xiu Xi’s eyes were fixed on the head of the girl student in front, and he could only speak up and tease him.
