Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: Extreme Misfortune Turns into Prosperity (7)

Shu Jiao’s gift consisted of two small pieces of clothing, plus two very ordinary floral plaid shirts, altogether costing no more than twenty yuan, but for Yang Xiaona, it was the most precious gift of her life.

Especially those two small pieces of clothing, Yang Xiaona blushed as she put them on, and didn’t know how Shu Jiao knew her size, but they fit perfectly.

This was the first time Yang Xiaona wore small pieces of underwear. She had grown up without her mother ever teaching her these things. She developed early, her chest emerged early on, so regardless of how hot summer got, she always wore a jacket to cover up. She once asked her mother for underwear, but her mother found them too expensive and tossed her an unwanted diaper from her younger brother…

It was after that incident that she lost all will to live, questioning her purpose in the world, even thinking as her mother often scolded, that dying early would be better… Then she met Ruan Chi, who told her that if she wasn’t afraid of dying, why be afraid of living?

Before leaving, he told her many wonderful things awaited her.

Yang Xiaona looked at the clothes she was wearing, tears uncontrollably filled her eyes. How she wished she could tell him that she had found the beauty she was waiting for.

Shu Jiao watched Yang Xiaona as she came downstairs wearing the clothes she had bought for her, her eyes briefly widened in surprise, and her smile grew even more sincere.

To be honest, when she bought them, she was quite afraid the other wouldn’t accept them, more fearful of hurting her self-esteem. At this age, children have the strongest sense of self-esteem; some things may not originally have that intent, but their sensitive and fragile nature could easily lead to misunderstanding.

Initially, she was indeed worried Yang Xiaona would be like that, but fortunately, she wasn’t.

She smiled as she watched her walk down and said, “Xiaona looks great in this outfit; Auntie’s taste isn’t bad, right?”

Yang Xiaona shyly nodded, holding onto the hem of her dress, sincerely replied, “Thank you.”

Shu Jiao smiled, patting her shoulder: “Alright, it’s getting late. We should go. I’ve already informed the dormitory supervisor, they won’t mark you down.”

“Okay.”

Yang Xiaona arrived at the classroom when the morning reading session had already begun.

Today’s morning reading session was in English. The high school English teacher was a young man, wearing glasses with a cultured demeanor.

Since aside from the class president, the remaining class officers and subject representatives hadn’t been selected yet, the morning English reading session was led personally by the English teacher, reading vocabulary words.

Throughout her junior high years, Ruan Jiaojiao was always the English class representative. Because Gu Zichen particularly liked her, she ran the English corner for three years, and her spoken English was significantly better than others.

She was sitting in the third row below the podium. The English teacher knew her English scores, and naturally paid more attention to students with good grades. When he walked by her side, he subconsciously paused to listen. Her pronunciation was standard, almost accent-free, which surprised him.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t initially notice Yang Xiaona, because the English teacher was hovering around her. When she finally did, Yang Xiaona had already moved to the side, waiting for Xu Jie to get up and let her sit down.

Xu Jie, looking impatient, stood up to let her sit inside.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her in surprise, had it only been a few minutes?
