Chapter 862: Receiving the Award (8)
Midterm exams are looming!
Everyone lost their appetite upon hearing this news from the teacher; some even struggled to eat at all.
Xiu Xi, being a top student, naturally didn’t worry about anything.
Little Fatty didn’t care either. The Ruan Family, including Ruan Jianjun and Du Qing, never held high expectations for him. Ruan Jianjun, a chef by trade, had even considered a few times letting Little Fatty quit school to follow in his footsteps, especially since dropping out of junior high is pretty common these days.
