Chapter 1 The Next Day

The next morning.

Xia Yan had a wonderful sleep. She pulled open the curtains, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining on her body.

After indulging in the laziness for a while, she tidied her slightly curly chestnut short hair and began to wash up.

An hour later, Xia Yan, having finished breakfast, arrived at the basement and saw Jiang Xiao covered in sweat, sitting on the ground. Faint starlight flickered around him, clearly indicating that he was absorbing star power.

"Ready?" Xia Yan didn't enter the basement. Although there was a ventilation shaft here and the effect was not bad, the smell wasn't pleasant.

Last night, Xia Yan had come to Lei Jin and explicitly informed him that she would be taking Jiang Xiao out for a walk today.

Without saying a word, Lei Jin directly approved the leave request, practically showering her with gratitude. He vanished last night, probably to indulge in some skewers.

Lei Jin had mentioned several times these past few days that he wanted to eat street barbecue.

Jiang Xiao restrained his star power, looked up, and said to Xia Yan with a half-smile, "Okay, by the way, give me your phone. I'll tell Han Jiangxue."

Xia Yan panicked inwardly and covered up her guilty conscience with an angry voice: "I've already told your sister! Just come with me!"

"Okay, fine." Jiang Xiao thought for a moment, then got up and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "Give me 10 minutes."

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Jiang Xiao smiled and shook his head. She was still a child after all. Sometimes her thoughts and actions were quite amusing.

Yesterday, Xia Shan Hai had specifically requested the three people at home not to tell Xia Yan that he had visited.

As Xia Yan's father, making such a request, the three of them had nothing to say.

Jiang Xiao could guess what Xia Yan had done with his phone. It wasn't hard to deduce from Xia Shan Hai's words that Xia Yan was confessing on Jiang Xiao's behalf.

I confess to myself!

Are you scared?

In this world, most behaviors are purposeful. So, what was Xia Yan's purpose in doing this?

Jiang Xiao thought and thought. A goddess of her level definitely didn't lack admirers and didn't need a young Jiang Xiao Pi to inflate her vanity.

Then the few remaining benefits would be for Han Jiangxue, who was extremely concerned about Jiang Xiao.

When Han Jiangxue discovered that Jiang Xiao was confessing to Xia Yan again and again, what would Han Jiangxue do?

Either severely punish Jiang Xiao or apologize to Xia Yan.

Since Han Jiangxue hadn't come yet, the situation was self-evident.

While taking a shower, Jiang Xiao pondered how to deal with this matter.

Jiang Xiao could tolerate these inconsequential matters, but Han Jiangxue was suffering. She was probably still pleading with Xia Yan. Thinking about such a aloof woman having to yield to Xia Yan because of him was truly a sin.

Thinking back, Xia Yan's nature was definitely not bad. It was probably that she had been "frozen" by Han Jiangxue all these years, which led to such a prank.

No, he absolutely couldn't let Han Jiangxue continue to suffer like this! He couldn't let this woman, Xia Yan, continue to run wild!

Should he confront her directly? Wouldn't that be letting this hateful woman off too easily? He had to think of a way to deal with her.

After showering, Jiang Xiao put on a set of clean sportswear and walked out of the basement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the basement, a phone came flying towards him.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly caught the phone and found that it was his own.

This hateful woman actually returned the phone to him? What was going on?

"Call her. It's better if you tell her yourself," Xia Yan said indifferently, having obviously composed herself.

"Oh." Jiang Xiao took the phone and dialed the number without looking at Weibo.

After only three rings, the call was picked up on the other end, silently, without even a "hello."

Jiang Xiao couldn't stand the silence and spoke first, "Um, Xia Yan is taking me out for training today. I'm telling you, I've been doing well here this week. You don't have to worry."

"Mm." Han Jiangxue's faint voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, saw Xia Yan's monitoring gaze, and said, "How have you been these days? Are you okay?"

Han Jiangxue finally spoke, "Your military training leave has already been approved. You can go to class in half a month. Train hard with her, concentrate, and remember your promise to me. Don't overthink meaningless things."

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, but ultimately just said, "Mm."

And over there, Han Jiangxue had already hung up the phone.

"What did your sister say?" Xia Yan asked anxiously.

"What else could she say? Educating me, of course. Telling me to train hard with you." Jiang Xiao took the phone and opened Weibo. "No, I have to post a Weibo to tease her and regain some face."

Xia Yan didn't seem worried at all and said, "Heh, you deserve to be taught a lesson like that. But to be honest, your performance these past few days has been really good. It's impressive."

"I have to live up to the coach you hired for me, right?" Jiang Xiao opened Weibo and found that his Weibo was empty, still only one post. But he had a few more followers, having broken through the one hundred mark. They were probably all here to watch the show.

This girl deleted all the posts she made? No wonder she's so fearless.

Jiang Xiao believed his judgment. Xia Shan Hai had no reason to lie. This bad woman must have posted a lot of love letters in his name.

"We're going to the snowfield today. Be prepared," Xia Yan said with a smile, moving closer to Jiang Xiao.

"Snowfield? Just the two of us? Not looking for Han Jiangxue?" Jiang Xiao raised his head in confusion.

"Yeah, just follow my plan. Stop talking so much. Post it quickly. I want to see how you go against your sister." Xia Yan urged.

Jiang Xiao mumbled, "Go against what? I just like her." As he said that, he quickly posted a Weibo.

Jiang Xiao Pi Pi Bu Pi (Jiang Xiao Mischievous Not Mischievous)

Just now from Huawei Maimang C199

What is loved is separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas cannot be leveled.

ps: Liking Little Jiangxue for the 11th day.

"This poem... the tone is a bit heavy, right?" Xia Yan said with a strange expression. "Little guy, are you really not afraid of her getting angry when you tease her like that?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged indifferently and exited the Weibo account.

Xia Yan's smile froze. To log back into the account, she would have to enter the password...

"Speaking of which, I've been here for 8 days. How does my phone still have so much battery?" Jiang Xiao muttered to himself. "Is the standby time that long?"

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed, "The chargers at home are universal. What if someone's looking for you? I'd better be able to notify you immediately."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao sneered inwardly: Whether you notify me or not, I don't know, but I've already notified your dad.

I wonder what Xia Shan Hai's reaction will be after seeing this Weibo?

Jiang Xiao thought about it, but still didn't set a lock screen password. That thing was just for show, it couldn't stop anyone who wanted to open it.

Jiang Xiao threw the phone on the coffee table, considering it handed over again, and said, "Shall we go?"

Xia Yan nodded, not realizing that Jiang Xiao had pulled off a smooth operation right under her nose.

At the same time, in an ordinary residence in the center of Jiangbin City.

Xia Shan Hai, who was sitting on the balcony reading a newspaper, saw his wife walking onto the balcony with a strange expression and handing him his phone.

Xia Shan Hai took it and looked at it carefully, startled.

Yesterday, after confirming that Jiang Xiao's phone had been taken away, Xia Shan Hai roughly knew that those love confessions were sent by his precious daughter. He didn't know what her motivation was.

At this time, what was undoubtedly true was that this Weibo post, issued in Jiang Xiao's name, was also sent by his precious daughter, Xia Yan.

But look at what she posted?

"What is loved is separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas cannot be leveled?"

What does that mean?

Xia Shan Hai repeatedly confirmed that the second line of the poem was "cannot be leveled," but he could still feel the strong resentment in the poem.

What emotions the original poem expressed was no longer important. What was important was that Xia Shan Hai had already imagined his daughter's tone in his head.

What does this mean? Was his whereabouts yesterday exposed?

Was his precious daughter angry? Did she know that he was interfering?

Although it said "cannot be leveled," Xia Shan Hai felt that she wanted to "level" him...

Xia Shan Hai sighed in his heart: No, it's time to have a frank and open conversation with his daughter. No matter what kind of one-woman show his daughter was putting on, no matter what spring dreams she was having, he had to have a good talk with her.

He couldn't let his daughter continue to indulge in self-gratifying fantasies!

Even if he had to go all out and agree to this marriage, he couldn't let his daughter suffer from those psychological and mental illnesses.

After all, health was the most important thing. As for happiness, it could be created. He would let Jiang Xiao become a live-in son-in-law! He would let him be managed by the Xia family! If this kid dared to disobey his precious daughter in the slightest, he would break his legs...

At the same time, in a residential building in Garden Community, the sound of a "cuckoo" bird call came.

Han Jiangxue frowned. She heard this sound every day, but every time she opened it, her mood would worsen. What kind of mess was her troublesome younger brother getting into again?

Unexpectedly, this time, Han Jiangxue opened the message, but was slightly stunned.

Different people would answer this poem from different angles.

Xia Yan thought Jiang Xiao was referring to the teacher-student, family-like, and sibling-like relationship between him and Han Jiangxue.

Xia Shan Hai thought that Xia Yan was venting resentment and releasing anger, as if it was a prelude to being possessed.

But Han Jiangxue thought that Jiang Xiao had been hit hard.

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows: This poem... this kid was hit hard? Was he taught a lesson by Xia Yan? Did he realize the reality?

Not bad, not bad. It's good to realize the reality sooner rather than later.

How could the Xia family's eldest daughter take a liking to you.

Han Jiangxue saw the ps content at the back, and her breathing paused slightly: He counted the days quite accurately. She would tentatively consider it him coming to his senses and turning back to the shore.

Han Jiangxue threw away her phone, looked at the lush trees outside the window, and whispered, "Heh, men."
