Chapter 615: College Entrance Exam Top Scorer (2)_1
Up front, Shu Jie and Ruan Jian|guo chatted from time to time, Ruan Jie occasionally threw in a comment, but only Xiu Xi beside her was quiet throughout.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t pay it much mind, as her little companion had always been quiet and reticent, but when she inadvertently looked back once, she saw him staring at her hand.
She leaned closer, looking along with him, but couldn’t find anything amiss and could only ask, "Xiuge, what are you looking at?"
Xiu Xi lifted his hand, the young man’s hand wasn’t large, but it was well-defined, slender, and fair, which Ruan Jiaojiao found nice as well. She said, "Xiuge, your hand is also pretty." Saying so, she reached out to pinch it, then pouted with a hint of regret, "My hand is not pretty, it’s too chubby."
"Not at all, it’s pretty," Xiu Xi said, and turned his hand to hold her plump little hand tightly.
"..." Ruan Jie.
He silently glanced at his own large hand, which wasn’t as dark as Ruan Jian|guo’s, but it was big, with large bones and joints... he quietly put his hand behind his back.
The small temple Ruan Hao had found on the outskirts had been so obscure that not many people knew of it, and Ruan Jiaojiao and the others had asked for directions all the way there.
However, as they neared the village and asked a man for directions, they learned of some startling news.
Ruan Jian|guo knew how to deal with people; he got out of the car and offered the man a cigarette, then started chatting. The man didn’t hold back and blurted out, "Wasn’t there a massive flood two summers ago? The temple got flooded, and there were only a few monks to begin with. Some drowned, and the rest left."
