The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s
Chapter 613 Graduation (10)_1

Even the onlooking members of the Ruan Family couldn’t help but join in, although as Ruan Jie chuckled, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his lips.

"Wife, I want to take a graduation photo with Jiaojiao too," he said to Shu Jiao, standing beside him, with a touch of wistfulness in his voice.

Zhao Li, who had hurried over, chimed in upon hearing this, "Definitely, we must take some photos. I’m going to take about a dozen with Jiaojiao."

Shu Jiao didn’t speak, but upon hearing the commotion she glanced at Ruan Jie. Seeing the big guy acting all pitiful in front of her made her feel both exasperated and amused. Then, under his expectant gaze, she nodded.

Such a normal request she would naturally not refuse.

Seeing her nod, Ruan Jie’s grin stretched so wide it almost reached his ears, and he waited eagerly for their turn to finish up.

After the graduation photos were taken, the Ruanlin Family had also arrived. Jiaojiao, holding a big red flower, flung herself into their embrace, "Grandma, this is for you, it’s the big red flower Jiaojiao received!"

The Ruanlin Family was so amused that their brows unfurled and their eyes crinkled with joy, "Really? Our sweet treasure is so amazing. Grandmother will hang it up in the house to look at it every day."

As soon as the students dispersed, Ruan Jie immediately trotted over to look for the principal.

At the sight of his rushed demeanor, the principal naturally understood what was going on. After all, it had been three years of the same routine, and he immediately said, "Jie, don’t worry, the certificates are printed out for you. As always, we’ve prepared extra..."

"No, no," Ruan Jie waved his hands hastily. He wanted the certificates, but there was something else he coveted even more, "I mean the photos..."

The principal suddenly had an epiphany, "That can be done, I’ll print out a few extra copies for you..."

"No, no, it’s not the photos I want. I was thinking, once you’ve printed what you need, could you give me the negatives?" He worried that no matter how many photos he printed, they would never be enough. The best thing would be to get the negatives, so he could print as many as he wanted.

"..." the principal.

After a few seconds of silence, the principal laughed resignedly, "Alright, I will give it to you once they are printed out."

Ruan Jie was satisfied, thanking the principal effusively and even offering him a cigarette. Not until Zhao Li and the photographer were ready to take photos on the other side did he hurry back, anxious not to miss out on his part.

They took dozens of photos, using up an entire roll of the photographer’s film.

Just a few days after Jiaojiao’s elementary school graduation came Ruan Hao’s big day—the college entrance exam.

The exams were on the 7th, 8th, and 9th days of the month. Ruan Hao wasn’t taking them at his own school but in Lin City. On the evening of the 6th, except for the Ruanlin Family who stayed at home, the rest of the Ruan Family made a trip to Lin City. To ensure Ruan Hao had a good rest, Ruan Jie booked three rooms at the guesthouse.

Ruan Hao had one room to himself, Ruan Jie and Xiu Xi shared another, while Jiaojiao, Ruan Jie, and Shu Jiao shared the third.

In truth, Ruan Hao felt he could handle everything on his own. He just needed Ruan Jie to drop him off at the guesthouse, but Jiaojiao wanted to come along. With her attending, Shu Jiao and Xiu Xi had to come as well. And with both Xiu Xi and Shu Jiao coming, it was naturally impossible for Ruan Jie and Ruan Jie to stay home, so they all ended up coming along, which explained the current situation.

But this was all for the best.

While Ruan Hao was off taking his exams, Ruan Jie planned to take his wife and daughter for a stroll around Lin City.

Jiaojiao had not left their city for the past three years. Moreover, Ruan Hao had previously gotten her a Peace Rope in Lin City. The Buddha Beads she was now wearing on her wrist were rumored to be incredibly effective. Whether they truly were, she didn’t know, but she did know she hadn’t had a single nightmare in over two years. She wanted to visit that temple and see for herself.
