Chapter 110 More for the rexxxx Alliance Leader 1/10

Han Jiangxue clearly sensed that Xia Yan had been acting strangely these past few days, especially her attitude towards Jiang Xiao. Han Jiangxue couldn't help but feel that the sun had risen in the west.

At this moment, Xia Yan was cursing inwardly. Originally, this matter was supposed to end with Xia Shanhai reprimanding Xia Yan, and Xia Yan then dealing with Jiang Xiao.

But some good-for-nothing had been so meddlesome as to take screenshots, and Jiang Xiao had ended up seeing those love confessions she had written to herself.

And some of those love confessions were incredibly cheesy; Xia Yan felt embarrassed just looking at them now.

She had toned down her imposing manner in front of Jiang Xiao quite a bit lately.

Jiang Xiao, on the other hand, was amused and annoyed. It seemed that Xia Shiqi was really going all out to get Han Jiangxue's attention.

Both father and daughter should change their names to Xia Goes All Out.

Jiang Xiao felt that things were going in a slightly wrong direction. As a man, shouldn't he bear the responsibility on his shoulders?

Shouldn't he protect Han Jiangxue?

The answer was definitely yes.

So...

Shouldn't Jiang Xiao straighten Xia Yan out?

Hmm,

That was a question...

That evening, the siblings went to the parking lot with Xia Yan as usual. Jiang Xiao wished Li Qingmei well, and with grateful eyes from Li Weiyi, watched the couple drive away.

"Click." Xia Yan sat in the driver's seat of her car, held her phone out the window, and took a picture.

Having just been "blessed," Li Qingmei was indeed in a somewhat tipsy state.

In the photo, Li Qingmei was sitting in the passenger seat of the luxury car, her eyes hazy, a sweet smile on her face as she waved to Jiang Xiao. Li Weiyi, in the driver's seat, leaned forward, nodding and smiling at Jiang Xiao.

The dim streetlights stretched Jiang Xiao's solitary figure long, as he stood outside the car, one hand in his pocket, the other waving goodbye to the couple.

The photo was simply too artistic.

"Oh, poor little Pi." Xia Yan, looking at the photo on her phone, had already conjured up a melodramatic novel of hundreds of thousands of words.

Han Jiangxue tilted her head and looked at the photo on Xia Yan's phone. Although she knew it was a joke, under the dim yellow streetlights, the smiles of the couple in the luxury car and Jiang Xiao's lonely figure did look a little bleak.

Xia Yan muttered to herself, "The most perfect thing is that only Little Pi's back is in the picture, so you can imagine Little Pi's expression however you want. Oh my god, Xia Yan, you're really amazing."

"Put it away, if he sees it, you two will argue all the way home," Han Jiangxue said softly.

"I knew Xuexue still liked me." Xia Yan hurriedly put away her phone, planning to post it on Weibo when the fuss had died down.

Xia Yan turned her head, only to see Jiang Xiao, who was walking towards them, stop in his tracks.

"Psst~" Xia Yan whistled, "Little Pi, get in the car, let's go home."

Jiang Xiao "harrumphed" with a look of disdain but didn't move.

Because he saw a tall, dark figure standing next to a black car not far away.

Jiang Xiao really didn't want to see this figure, especially those long, narrow phoenix eyes.

The tall figure opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, leaned forward, stretched out his arm, and opened the driver's side door.

Then, the figure sat up straight, leaned against the seat, and silently stared at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao really wanted to leave, and also wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.

But scenes from the past swirled in his mind, reminding Jiang Xiao that he might not be able to bear the consequences of doing so.

Jiang Xiao took two steps forward, rested one hand on the window of the Land Rover, and said to Han Jiangxue, "I'll be back later."

"Hmm?" Han Jiangxue turned her head in surprise, looking at Jiang Xiao in astonishment.

If it had been a few months ago, Han Jiangxue would have dragged him into the car directly.

But now, Jiang Xiao's image in her mind had completely changed. Such a diligent student and hardworking trainee would not want to waste time going out to play.

Compared to the teachers' and coaches' demands on Jiang Xiao, he was even stricter with himself.

"What's wrong? Where are you going to wander off to in the middle of the night?" Xia Yan asked, curious and straightforward.

"An old friend is here to see me," Jiang Xiao said, rather helplessly.

"You? Old friend? Your junior high school classmates?" Xia Yan became interested and said, "I'll go with you."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao thought about the personalities of the few people and the possible situations that might arise, and still said, "Never mind, I'll go myself. I'll be home early."

Xia Yan turned to look at Han Jiangxue, a little unsure.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, not responding.

"I really have something to do, it's not dangerous, I'll be back soon," Jiang Xiao said, emphasizing his tone.

Han Jiangxue pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, come home early, keep in touch by phone."

Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue in utter surprise, muttering, "Wow, you're so carefree letting a kid go out to play at night?"

"He's more reliable than you," Han Jiangxue snorted, "Drive."

"Tch." Xia Yan snorted dismissively, completely ignoring Jiang Xiao, and stepped on the gas pedal and drove away.

Han Jiangxue remembered the direction Jiang Xiao had been looking at just now. As the car drove out of the dim parking lot, she carefully searched outside the car window, and finally saw a black car with its door open in a parking space.

Their eyes met briefly, and Han Jiangxue instantly remembered who this person was.

Someone from the Midnight Team?

Why would such a high-level figure still keep in touch with Jiang Xiao?

Xia Yan seemed completely unaware, grumbling to herself, speeding all the way.

Jiang Xiao walked to the side of the black car, rather helplessly saw the huge figure inside, and pointed to the empty driver's seat, "Are you sure?"

"Automatic transmission, not much skill required, just a toy," Er Wei said, "Left pedal is the brake, right pedal is the accelerator, remember to use your right foot to press the pedals, the left foot is idle. D is forward, R is reverse, P is park, you don't need to know the other gears."

"Ah..." Jiang Xiao got into the driver's seat. If he didn't know how to drive, he would have really fallen for Er Wei's nonsense.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Er Wei. She was wearing a deep red trench coat, her ponytail still tied very low, coupled with her cold temperament, giving off a unique charm.

And the passenger seat she was sitting in had been pulled all the way back, her long legs still curled up aggrievedly.

A woman around 1.7 meters is tall enough, being too tall is indeed a bit of a hassle.

"Is it because you're uncomfortable driving?" Jiang Xiao slid the driver's seat forward a large distance and asked with a smile.

Er Wei rested her elbow on the car window, her voice still without inflection, "Mm."

Jiang Xiao, "Won't drive a jeep?"

Er Wei silently looked out the window, not responding.

Jiang Xiao was a little helpless and said, "Where to?"

Er Wei said in a hoarse voice, faintly uttering a word, "Anywhere."

"Bad mood?" Jiang Xiao subconsciously turned on the right turn signal, gently stepped on the accelerator, and drove out, turning the car.

Er Wei raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing if it was because of the right turn signal or because of Jiang Xiao's words. She said in a low voice, "Find a quiet place to chat."

Screech!

The car stopped abruptly, Jiang Xiao shifted into reverse, and backed back into the parking space.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Er Wei and said, "We're here."

Er Wei, "......"

"What do you want from me?" Jiang Xiao asked directly.

Er Wei looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. She reached out her hand, tapped the screen in the center, and located a place, "Go here."

"Bath...bathhouse!?" Jiang Xiao was taken aback when he saw the name of the place on the GPS.

"There's a barbecue restaurant across the street," Er Wei said casually.

Jiang Xiao, "......"

Er Wei, "You don't like it."

Jiang Xiao, "Of course I like skewers, you should locate it accurately next time, you scared me."

Er Wei silently looked out the window and said, "It's very small, very dilapidated, you can't find it on the map."

Jiang Xiao slowly stepped on the accelerator, hearing a special meaning from her words.
