Xiu Xi was nominally eight years old this year, which meant he should have been in third grade according to common practice. The past few years had been delayed by the Xiu Family, but given his exceptional intelligence and ambition, although she always wished he and Ruan Jiaojiao could be in the same class for mutual support, she also did not want him to fall behind because of this.
"No, I want to be with Jiaojiao," Xiu Xi shook his head, determined to be wherever Ruan Jiaojiao was.
Ruan Jiaojiao remained silent on the side. With the memories she inherited from her predecessor, it would actually have been no problem for her to skip straight to the third grade. However, she did not want to, fearing it would arouse the suspicions of the Ruanlin Family, who, in their eyes, saw her as having some potential, yet certainly not to an astonishing degree.
As for Xiu Xi, he was already considered exceptional, and being a bit more so wouldn't make much difference.
