Chapter 1 A Quiet Summer Night

A cool summer night, the moon bright and the stars few.

Inside a tastefully decorated café, in a small private room, a long-haired girl in a white dress was listlessly stirring the coffee in her cup with a small white porcelain spoon.

Across from her, a short-haired girl was firing on all cylinders, her mouth working like a machine gun, "dudu-ing" non-stop. The two of them had been chatting since noon until evening.

To be precise, the short-haired girl had been talking non-stop until evening, while Han Jiangxue occasionally responded with a word or two, looking absent-minded.

The short-haired girl didn't seem to mind much. She knew Han Jiangxue's personality, having grown up together, practically "childhood sweethearts," and knew each other inside and out.

In fact, the short-haired girl was already content that Han Jiangxue was giving her so much face, sitting here all afternoon listening to her pour out her woes.

"Cuckoo!"

With a cuckoo's call, Han Jiangxue, who had been propping her chin up and stirring her coffee boredly, finally changed her motion.

Han Jiangxue took out her phone from her bag, her expression a little strange.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did someone confess to you again?" The short-haired girl's interest was piqued, her eyes shining, and she quickly leaned closer to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue glanced at the message on her phone and quickly put it away, saying, "Xia Yan, I have to go home."

"Going home so early..." The short-haired girl, called Xia Yan, stopped halfway through her sentence, feeling a little embarrassed. It was almost eight o'clock, and Han Jiangxue had been listening to her complaints for half the day. "Alright, I'll take you back, but you have to tell me who sent you the message and what it said."

"Suit yourself," Han Jiangxue said directly, standing up and opening the door to leave.

"Hey, this little temper of mine..." Xia Yan watched her leave, quickly getting up and hypocritically chasing after her.

...

Three minutes earlier.

...

Jiangbin City, East District, Garden Residential Area, Room 701, Building 1, G7.

Jiang Xiao looked at the night outside the window, still a little worried.

In the memories Jiang Xiao had merged with, Han Jiangxue seemed to have never come home this late before. He didn't know where this girl had gone wild.

He called her twice, and Han Jiangxue casually "ummed" twice and hung up. When he called the third time, Han Jiangxue directly told Jiang Xiao to go downstairs and buy instant noodles.

Jiang Xiao: ???

If it weren't for the memories and emotions of the merged Jiang Xiaopi subtly influencing him, Jiang Xiao wouldn't have bothered with this woman, uh, girl.

Han Jiangxue was, after all, an Awakened One, so she shouldn't have any accidents, right?

But you couldn't say that for sure, because the danger level of this world had also increased. What if the criminal was also an Awakened One?

Setting aside the danger, what if Han Jiangxue went out to drink and sing karaoke, and someone took advantage of her?

Well, Han Jiangxue didn't seem like the type to go clubbing either.

Sigh, born with the fate of a younger brother, but with the heart of a father.

Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly. He had been searching for information at home all afternoon, deepening his understanding of this world, and also gaining a deeper understanding of the so-called Star Power. Only now did he remember that there was still a serious matter to take care of.

The so-called serious matter was to delete his dark history.

The so-called dark history, of course, was Jiang Xiaopi's Weibo.

Jiang Xiao entered his account password based on his memory and opened Weibo. The Weibo name was "Jiang Xiaopi Doesn't Want to Be Naughty."

Fortunately, the former Jiang Xiaopi had only opened the Weibo account today, and there were no posts on it at all. The self-introduction video from noon had not yet been released.

But before that, there was still a Weibo post:

I'm going to be a dad!

Jiang Xiao looked at the Weibo post on the screen and nodded silently. Sure enough, it was domineering enough, simple and clear.

Eh? There was actually a response below?

Jiang Xiao quickly clicked on the reply and found that it was from a person called "Suoliweng."

Moreover, it was replied 20 minutes after this Weibo post was released: "Delete the Weibo immediately."

Suoliweng? (Person in a straw cloak)

Jiang Xiao blinked. He knew this question. *Gu zhou suo li weng, du diao han jiang xue* (An old man in a straw cloak sits alone in a boat, fishing in the cold snow on the river).

Han Jiangxue?

Yo-ho?

The name was quite poetic.

It seemed that Han Jiangxue was still paying attention to how Jiang Xiaopi was courting death.

Speaking of which, why did he have 34 followers on Weibo, which was only opened today?

Jiang Xiao clicked on the followers one by one and found that they were all sellers and zombie followers matched by Weibo software.

Of these 34 followers, only 1 was probably genuinely alive, and that was Han Jiangxue.

There seemed to be some room for manipulation here?

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, deleted the only Weibo post, and tapped on the keyboard.

1 minute later, Jiang Xiao pondered the wording and clicked publish.

At the same time, in the café, Han Jiangxue's phone chimed.

Han Jiangxue had chosen to pay special attention to Jiang Xiaopi's Weibo, so she didn't need to unlock her phone. She directly saw the Weibo post on the screen:

Jiang Xiaopi Doesn't Want to Be Naughty

Just now from Weibo wb.

A boring night is so lonely, I really want to go out and party, just ten more minutes, if I can't hold back...

ps: I like Little Jiangxue on the 1st day.

In the café, Han Jiangxue put away her phone, pushed away Xia Yan who was leaning in front of her, and said, "I have to go home."

...

Back to the present.

...

The black Jeep roared back to the entrance of the Garden Residential Area, a sudden stop scaring the security guard at the entrance.

Han Jiangxue moved quickly, opened the car door and ran into the residential area.

"Hey! Xiaoxue, remember our agreement, I'll pick you up in three days, we'll go adventuring together!" Xia Yan opened the passenger window, leaned out, and looked at the quickly receding figure.

Han Jiangxue didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand casually.

"Hey! You, would it kill you to look at me more?" Xia Yan muttered angrily, slamming on the accelerator.

Han Jiangxue couldn't care less. Her younger brother had just shown some improvement, and now he was showing signs of relapse?

No, she had to stop him in time!

If that didn't work, then she would slap him!

Han Jiangxue quickly returned home, opened the door, and glanced at the clock in the living room. Fortunately, it wasn't 10 minutes yet.

This home...

So clean and tidy, this kid was doing a big cleaning at home?

Han Jiangxue looked around the living room and came to Jiang Xiao's door, pushing it open without hesitation.

What caught her eye was Jiang Xiao standing at the window, his back facing her, his body still a little thin.

At this time, Jiang Xiao stood at the window, in the dim environment, with starlight flickering around him, and wisps of thin Star Power surrounded him.

He was absorbing Star Power?

Where was there any sign of him wanting to go out and party?

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "You still know how to come back?"

Han Jiangxue: ???

Jiang Xiao: "Do you believe I can make you Yuxiang Rousi (Fish-fragrant Shredded Pork), Sweet and Sour Fish, and Potato and Beef Soup?"

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows, her voice tinged with sarcasm: "You?"

Jiang Xiao chuckled and turned around, saying, "Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, why don't you go cook?"

Han Jiangxue: "..."

Jiang Xiao turned around and said, "From now on, you'll cook at home, and I'll wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and wipe the house. It's settled then. Come home on time every day."

Han Jiangxue took a deep breath, feeling the veins throbbing on her forehead, and said, "Is your Star Power full again?"

"Huh?"

Han Jiangxue went to the closet, opened it, and casually took out a set of sportswear, saying, "Change into this."

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue with a wary expression: "What are you going to do?"

Han Jiangxue said coldly, "Your body is too weak, you can only condense so little Star Power. You need to exercise your body strength now."

"Now?"

"Yes, let's go for a night run," Han Jiangxue turned and walked out of the room, saying, "Five minutes, I'll go change my clothes."

"I'm still hungry," Jiang Xiao said dejectedly.

"No dinner, lose weight," Han Jiangxue's voice drifted over from afar.

Lose weight?

With my bamboo pole figure? Lose weight?

Are you a demon?
