Chapter 142 The Reunion

Jiang Xiao did indeed have a bold idea, but reality was dragging him back.

When Jiang Xiao wanted to go out, he realized that he was wearing pajamas, and there was a flower on his collar...

Even tattooing a flower on his neck would be better than embroidering one on his collar...

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Jiang Xiao's face lit up with joy. Had the clothes arrived? Teacher Fang had said earlier that she had ordered a few pieces of clothing from a nearby shopping mall.

Jiang Xiao hurried to open the door. On the video intercom, he saw a drowned rat, constantly pressing the buzzer.

Jiang Xiao opened the entrance door downstairs for her and turned to shout, "Little Jiang Xue."

"Hmm?" Han Jiangxue walked out of the study.

Jiang Xiao took two steps back and said, "Someone's looking for you."

Han Jiangxue was stunned for a moment, opened the security door and looked out, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps climbing the stairs.

Teacher Fang lived on the fourth floor, so the person probably couldn't wait for the elevator and quickly rushed up.

Jiang Xiao took two more steps back.

Here she comes, here she comes!

He only saw a soaked Xia Yan rush up.

She opened her teary, large eyes, looking aggrieved, pouting her small mouth, and hugged Han Jiangxue tightly, splattering rainwater everywhere.

Jiang Xiao dodged far away. Good heavens, he almost got splashed. And Han Jiangxue had just taken a shower, and her clean, soft pajamas were also "ruined."

Xia Yan choked softly, her cold face, wet with rain, rubbed against Han Jiangxue's face, her arms tightly wrapped around Han Jiangxue, as if she wanted to strangle her in her embrace.

Han Jiangxue didn't know what to say, and stroked Xia Yan's cold back with one hand. After a while, she whispered, "It's easy to get sick from being rained on like this and being so emotional."

"Mmm, mmm." Xia Yan didn't seem to be able to hear anything, just nodding constantly, her aggrieved little appearance like a abandoned kitten or puppy.

Behind them, Fang Xingyun silently watched this reunion, feeling infinitely moved. Back then, she also had a fixed team, and the team members had good relationships and feelings, but...

As they grew up and entered the workforce, her four-person team rarely got together. Everyone was busy, some working in offices and some joining the army. The next time they met was uncertain.

Fang Xingyun said softly, "Go take a hot bath. No matter how good your constitution is, you can't treat your body like this."

Han Jiangxue pushed Xia Yan away, reaching out to untangle Xia Yan's arms around her, but after trying slightly, Han Jiangxue gave up. She just looked at Teacher Fang Xingyun apologetically and smiled apologetically.

At that moment, Fang Xingyun's soft and sentimental heart seemed to truly understand such a scene and didn't blame them at all.

Han Jiangxue put one arm around Xia Yan's waist, picked her up, and walked towards the bathroom.

Such a scene left Jiang Xiao speechless.

Yes, from the outside, Han Jiangxue was a tall and slender urban girl, but don't forget, she was a Star River stage Star Warrior, and her strength was not a joke.

It was just that this scene... didn't look harmonious at all. Wouldn't it be more reasonable for Xia Yan to carry Han Jiangxue to the bathroom?

Jiang Xiao shook his head vigorously, throwing away the messy thoughts, and said to Han Jiangxue's back, "I'll be out for a while."

Han Jiangxue stopped at the bathroom door, turned to look at Jiang Xiao, and asked, "Where are you going?"

If it were normal times, it would be fine, but during such a crucial period, she really should know Jiang Xiao's whereabouts.

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "In the morning, Er Wei heard the news and rushed from the Northwest to the capital to collect my body. She's in the principal's office now. I called her just now to tell her I was safe, and she wants to meet me."

Hearing the name Er Wei, Han Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief. That was Jiang Xiao's teacher, and even more so, a Star Ocean stage King who had helped the two siblings countless times. She had rushed from the Northwest as soon as she heard the news?

Especially after thinking about the nature of Er Wei's work, Han Jiangxue could deeply feel how much Er Wei valued Jiang Xiao.

Han Jiangxue nodded in agreement, "Be careful, and come back quickly."

Fang Xingyun listened to this name curiously, guessing it was a code name. Who's surname was "Er"...

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Xiao finally changed into the menswear that had been delivered, and his mood improved a lot.

Shirt, jeans, sneakers, everything was complete. The clothes and pants fit well, but the sneakers were a bit too big, but those were minor problems.

Teacher Fang was really a considerate person. Whoever married her would be so lucky.

Jiang Xiao thanked Fang Xingyun repeatedly, and under Fang Xingyun's constant instructions, after being stuffed with an umbrella and a baseball cap, Jiang Xiao walked out the door jingling his car keys.

Half-Mountain Maple Forest Community, tsk tsk, the name was well-chosen. Looking at the greenery, it was estimated that it would be very beautiful here in late autumn.

This Half-Mountain Maple Forest was only a few stops away from the Capital Star Warrior University. The journey was not far and not too congested. Jiang Xiao drove Fang Xingyun's four-ring car, praying all the way not to run into a traffic police officer. He finally arrived opposite the school's south gate. After finding a parking space, he lowered his hat, put up an umbrella and walked into the alley.

The female receptionist at the Green Grass Express Hotel was not surprised that Jiang Xiao lowered his hat and spoke softly. In fact, she encountered customers like this sneaking around every day.

After asking for the room number, Jiang Xiao took the elevator to the 6th floor and knocked on the door of room 611A.

The door was opened by a huge figure, completely blocking the doorway.

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao pushed her in, turned around and closed the door. Only then did he finally take off his hat and turn around to see Er Wei, who was expressionless.

She... hadn't changed, she hadn't gained weight or lost weight, hmm... she hadn't grown taller either.

The two of them quietly sized each other up, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.

She was wearing black slacks, a white shirt, and a long black trench coat on the outside, which did look like the style for attending a funeral.

Suddenly, she moved. She reached behind her head with both hands, untied the very low ponytail, tilted her head slightly and shook it, re-tying her braid. Looking at this posture...

Normally, her ponytail was always tied very low, which gave her a unique lazy temperament, even when fighting to the death in the Snow Plains Holy Ruins, she was still like that.

So far, Jiang Xiao had only seen her tie a high ponytail once, and that was when she entered the Snow Mountain Domain. That seemed to represent her state of readiness for battle.

Jiang Xiao took a step forward and grabbed the braid behind her head, saying, "Let me tie it for you, okay?"

Er Wei raised her eyebrows, then released her hands, and her long hair fell down. She looked around, sat on the chair, and threw the hair tie to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao walked behind her and re-tied her hair into a low ponytail, making sure she wouldn't enter her transformed state...

Jiang Xiao said, "As you can see, I'm fine."

Er Wei said a faint "Hmm."

Jiang Xiao rolled his eyes at the back of her head and said, "What about you?"

Er Wei: "Alive."

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at the back of her head again.

After a long silence, Jiang Xiao said, "Looking at your black and white outfit, are you really here to collect my body?"

Er Wei said in a hoarse voice, "Coming out of another dimension and entering normal society, change your clothes to remind yourself to change your style of behavior."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao thought, there was some truth to that. Although normal society was also a world where the strong preyed on the weak, this was, after all, a civilized society, so various intrigues and open and secret struggles rarely involved bloodshed.

Completely different from the other-dimensional space, where they really fought, with blood on their faces with every slash...

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Thank you for coming to collect my body?"

Er Wei said faintly, "Hmm."

Jiang Xiao felt the veins on his forehead throb, and looking at the back of her head, he had the urge to slap it.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. Now was not the time to rebel. He said, "I'm a celebrity now. It's hard to chat without choosing a hidden place."

Er Wei: "Checked, the room is safe. Speak without worry."

Jiang Xiao suddenly lowered his voice, leaned close to Er Wei's ear, and whispered, "I absorbed the Space-Time Gap and the Calamity Shadow Ruins. It's also a one-star, two-skill."

Er Wei's body stiffened slightly, and she suddenly turned her head, tilted her face slightly, and her phoenix eyes widened a little: "Really?"

Jiang Xiao put on a calm and breezy look, imitating Er Wei's appearance just now, and made a faint nasal sound: "Hmm."

Er Wei: "..."

Yo-hoo! Comfortable! Refreshing!

Jiang Xiao forcibly turned her head back and continued to tie her ponytail, tying it very low to ensure that she was sealed in a lazy state.

Well, big cats are much cuter than lynx...

Jiang Xiao came to her side, sat on the sofa, and said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Er Wei: "Hmm."

Jiang Xiao whispered, "Can you take my Decoy away? My mind is connected to the Decoy. Although the Decoy can't upgrade the quality of star techniques, it can hone my various combat skills. The Decoy is also another me. Archery, swordsmanship, fists, and daggers, if the Decoy practices it, I'll also practice it."

Er Wei was silent for a long time, and said, "Leave the Decoy behind, and you come with me."

Jiang Xiao said helplessly, "That won't work. The Decoy can't use star techniques, so it's easy to be exposed. Although there are more liberal arts classes in the first year, going out for training is also common. It happens every now and then, and there's even nighttime training. The Decoy will definitely be exposed. It's better to be safe."

Er Wei didn't respond, just nodded thoughtfully.

Jiang Xiao said, "I just want to ask, my Decoy still looks like me, can you hide it?"

Er Wei said, "My team is relatively independent and has a lot of autonomy, so that's not a problem. Since you're planning this, I'll recruit the two apprentices they've always wanted to give me, and bring you along. With apprentices, I'll have even more autonomy."

Jiang Xiao's face lit up with joy. It was done!

Er Wei said in a hoarse voice, "Not having star techniques is also a good thing. It can allow you to focus more on honing your skills."

Jiang Xiao suddenly asked, "That's true, but my Decoy doesn't have star techniques, which is equivalent to your team carrying a burden. Will this hold you back?"

Er Wei said faintly, "If we're talking about burdens, there's no difference between you and the Decoy to me."

Jiang Xiao: ???
