In the kitchen, Jiang Xiao was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he washed the dishes.
Although this body was a bit of a younger brother, Jiang Xiao was, after all, an adult.
After merging with the memories, Jiang Xiao felt even more sorry for Han Jiangxue, this strong girl. In his heart, he had already regarded her as his little sister. In the future, he would do more of the housework like washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and taking out the trash.
He would take care of this strong and independent girl as much as possible. Thinking about it, she was really pitiful. Her parents went out on a mission and never came back.
Not only did she lose her parents' support, but to make matters worse, she also had to deal with Jiang Xiaopi, such an insensible child.
Han Jiangxue, who was already helpless, had to become someone else's support. How unpredictable life was.
She not only had to go to school, cultivate her Star Power, and participate in various school activities, but also had to take care of Jiang Xiaopi when she got home. Fortunately, she was a young and energetic girl. If it were an elderly person, she would probably be exhausted.
The family could still maintain itself thanks to the help of her parents. Her father, Han Cheng, and her mother, Jiang Hongye, were both Awakened. As for what level they were, Jiang Xiao had no idea.
Although they were gone, they had left a lot of money for the family. The family's financial power was, of course, in Han Jiangxue's hands. Although Jiang Xiao didn't know how much money was left, they had braised pork for lunch today, so they should be able to manage for a while.
However, even a mountain of gold and silver would eventually be depleted if they only spent and didn't earn.
As an adult, Jiang Xiao naturally had a responsibility since he had entered this family. After all, it was a man's duty.
Jiang Xiao had hands and feet, and making money would never be difficult for someone who was physically and mentally healthy. It would only be difficult for those who were unrealistic and couldn't lower their faces.
Working as a waiter in a restaurant, delivering food, or standing guard at a gas station, all in the name of work-study or experiencing life, would all bring in some income.
However, now that he had awakened his Star Techniques, Jiang Xiao had more possibilities.
Jiang Xiao felt that he could wait outside the hospital for patients with minor injuries, whom he could completely heal.
What? You accidentally cut yourself with a kitchen knife?
Need ointment? Need stitches? Need bandages? Need time to heal?
Come to me. You don't need anything. Instant results!
You ask me how I'll heal you?
No, I won't heal you.
I'll bless you!
Brother, twisted your ankle playing basketball? Does it hurt? Is it swollen? Can't move around easily, right?
Want to get rid of the pain? I'll help you!
You ask me how I'll help you reduce the swelling and relieve the pain?
Heh, I'll bless you!
In this way, he could both practice his Star Techniques and grasp the extent of their abilities in practice, as well as see what effects they would have when facing real injuries and illnesses.
When he wasn't seeing any patients, Jiang Xiao could also work on his basic skill: Abundant Star Power.
It was a win-win situation.
It was decided then. He would set a small goal for himself first, at least to stop adding to the family's burden. He was too old to ask Han Jiangxue for pocket money.
Huh?
What happened to the vast world, the wandering to the ends of the earth? In the end, he was still heading to the hospital...
Inside the house, the girl's door suddenly opened. Han Jiangxue, wearing a white dress, matched with that exquisite and cold face, looked ethereal as she walked out.
As she passed by the kitchen, Han Jiangxue heard the clanging sounds inside. Clearly, Jiang Xiao was washing the dishes.
Under normal circumstances, Han Jiangxue wouldn't pay attention to Jiang Xiao. She would leave home directly to take care of her own business.
But today, her younger brother, whom she had slapped, seemed particularly well-behaved. Although he was still as mischievous as ever, he was only making a few harmless little jokes. He didn't act willfully, didn't make trouble, and even cleaned up the house. And now, he was even cleaning the kitchen.
This kind of younger brother made Han Jiangxue look at him with new eyes. On the one hand, she felt that her younger brother had really grown up, and on the other hand... well, maybe she should have slapped him a long time ago.
Sensing that her younger brother had suddenly come to his senses, Han Jiangxue stopped at the kitchen door, preparing to tell him about her plans.
"Jiang..." Han Jiangxue had just opened her mouth when she stopped. She not only heard the clanging of dishes being washed in the kitchen, but also the singing coming from inside.
She heard Jiang Xiao humming a song with great interest:
"There are three hundred and sixty-five sunrises in a year,
I send you three hundred and sixty-five blessings..."
Han Jiangxue froze in place, a sudden feeling of panic in her heart.
Three seconds later, she turned around, wearing white sandals with low heels, and walked out of the house without looking back.
Bang!
"Huh?" Jiang Xiao, who was in the kitchen, heard the door and put the washed dishes away. He wiped his hands with a paper towel and walked out.
"Han Jiangxue?" Jiang Xiao called out in confusion.
But there was no response in the big house.
"Han Jiangxue?" Jiang Xiao called out twice and looked around, but she was nowhere to be found.
"That girl, she doesn't even say goodbye when she goes out," Jiang Xiao said helplessly. "No, I have to set some rules in the future. It's okay in the afternoon, but if she goes out at night, she has to report to me. She's so young, she can't just do whatever she wants."
The slightly childish voice spoke very incongruous words, but Jiang Xiao didn't feel any sense of incongruity. He picked up the wet paper towel he had just used to wipe his hands, put it to his nose, and blew his nose hard.
Wait?
Can a cold be healed faster?
Jiang Xiao froze in place, mobilizing the pitiful amount of Star Power in his body, and pressed his right hand to his head. A white light enveloped him!
Jiang Xiao's face changed for a while because... it was really comfortable.
Bathed in the white light, Jiang Xiao only felt warm all over, his limbs were soft, his tense muscles were greatly relieved, and a trace of wonderful vitality poured into his body.
It was like standing in March, enjoying the breeze in the warm breeze.
It was also like bathing lazily in the warm sun in the early autumn when the cold had not yet arrived, lazily enjoying the beauty of life.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but hum like a satisfied pig: "Ah~"
In the end, Jiang Xiao still used it on himself!
While Jiang Xiao was finally healing himself, Han Jiangxue had already walked out of the elevator. Their house was on the 7th floor, and there were two households on this floor.
The door of room 702 was also a security door installed after the building was completed, and there was a small carpet at the door, indicating that someone lived there, but the owner seemed to be someone who rarely showed up. The siblings had never seen them.
Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao had always lived in the house left by their parents. It was a nice neighborhood, not very upscale, but at least it was shaded by green trees and very quiet.
The ethereal and aloof young lady walked out all the way, experienced the bombardment of the old men and women who were cooling off in the pavilion, and finally managed not to be dragged to be introduced to potential dates. After all kinds of hardships, she finally walked out of the neighborhood gate.
"You tell them you're only 18, you haven't graduated from high school yet!" A short-haired girl with a pretty face and a hot figure was sitting in the driver's seat of a Jeep. She was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and denim hot pants, showing off her proud figure.
The Jeep's door was wide open, and the short-haired girl's long legs were crossed and placed on the lowered window frame. She leisurely looked at the disheveled Han Jiangxue, and her voice was teasing.
Han Jiangxue glared at the short-haired girl coldly, without responding.
Didn't graduate from high school yet? 18 years old? Is that useful? The old men and women all said that when they were 18 years old, their children were already several years old...
"Oh, Xuexue is angry, how cute." The short-haired girl retracted her long legs, stepped on the ground, scratched her permed chestnut short hair with one hand, stood up, and hugged Han Jiangxue who was coming towards her.
Han Jiangxue pushed the short-haired girl away with disgust, but unfortunately, she was not strong enough, so she could only resign herself to being hugged by the other party.
"What did you call me out for?" Han Jiangxue tried her best to dodge, hiding the emotions in her eyes, which were more of a doting nature.
"To play, of course. It's a holiday. What are you doing at home every day? If I didn't ask you to go exploring, you wouldn't even leave the house." The short-haired girl took Han Jiangxue's arm and finally led her into the car.
