Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Want to Change Desk Mates (8)_1

Principal Chen had originally intended to decline, but Shu Jiao had already opened the chess box. Being a chess enthusiast himself, he couldn’t let go of the pieces once he saw them. After hearing Shu Jiao’s words, he nodded in agreement without any pressure, "Alright, alright, alright, then we’ll wait for you to come down and play, and we must have a good couple of games."

He had been transferred from the province years earlier. This place was poor; most people even struggled with meals, let alone have the leisure to play chess. As a chess enthusiast himself, he had not been able to find an opponent for many years and had to play against himself. Now, finally having someone knowledgeable to spar with, he was naturally overjoyed.

After sending off Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo, Principal Chen continued to gaze at the set of white jade Go pieces, unable to take his hands off them.

Outside, Ruan Jianguo looked up to his wife in complete admiration, but glancing at the tobacco and liquor in his hand, he asked in confusion, "Isn’t this supposed to be for the principal?"

Shu Jiao shook her head, explaining that Principal Chen was an intellectual who didn’t care for tobacco and alcohol; he preferred painting and chess, something she had inquired about early on. The tobacco and alcohol were gifts for the other school leaders.

Ruan Jianguo followed Shu Jiao on visits to the other school leaders, and by the time they were done, it was almost time for the morning reading class. Shu Jiao looked into the classroom and saw, as expected, Ruan Jiaojiao holding a textbook but nodding off behind it. She had been hesitant, wondering if what she was doing was inappropriate, but now she was completely convinced: as long as it was for the good of her daughter, it was all worthwhile.

Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao did not disturb Ruan Jiaojiao’s napping during the morning self-study and quietly left.

As soon as the morning self-study ended, Ruan Jiaojiao woke up.

Her classmates were all getting up and running out, with Little Fatty running the fastest. Ruan Jiaojiao, still groggy from sleep, was slow to react until Little Fatty reached the classroom door and yelled back, "Sis, I’ve got eggs for you!" It was then she realized they were heading to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Ruan Jiaojiao had actually brought eggs for herself and also for Ruan Feng and Lu Zishu. It was just that she had been too sleepy in the morning to tell Little Fatty, but considering their appetites, she figured they could probably finish a few extra eggs.

She rested her head on the desk for a while, opening her eyes halfway to wake up, when suddenly someone approached her, casting a shadow over her desk. Instinctively, she looked up.

"Monitor, come out for a second, I need to talk to you," said Qi Weixin, standing in front of Ruan Jiaojiao’s desk, addressing Xiu Xi beside her.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s sleepiness vanished instantly, and she became extremely alert.

Xiu Xi, upon hearing this, didn’t even lift his head. He was busy using scrap paper to peel an egg, his expression earnest as if engaged in a serious task.

"Monitor! Did you hear me talking to you?" As Xiu Xi didn’t respond, Qi Weixin raised her voice, her tone becoming somewhat sharp.

Ruan Jiaojiao immediately poked Xiu Xi’s waist with her tiny hand, gesturing for him to respond. However, Xiu Xi took the opportunity to grab her plump hand and put a pale, tender egg in it, coaxing her, "Eat."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

"..." Qi Weixin’s face turned red with anger; she glared at Ruan Jiaojiao before walking away, clutching a piece of paper and running toward the teachers’ office.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, nibbling on the egg. Was she inadvertently caught in the crossfire?
