Chapter 148 New Year's Eve

Jiang Xiao was indeed a bit confused. The 30th, 31st, and 1st were indeed three consecutive days off for New Year's.

To be precise, it was a holiday for awakened students. Ordinary high school seniors were still attending classes...

It seemed they only had one day off on New Year's Day itself.

Jiang Xiao was happy to sleep in, having spent the past month in the snowfield, exposed to the elements, constantly worried and afraid. He really hadn't had a good night's sleep.

This was also why Han Jiangxue was letting him indulge like this.

One should know that ordinary awakened students probably wouldn't even go to the snowfield.

Class 1 of Senior Year 3, as a key class, only had two teams choose to participate in the snowfield training, even with teachers accompanying them. This was the best example.

Few people could truly live for themselves. Everyone had families, parents, and too many things to consider and interfering factors.

Even those trainees who weren't afraid of danger or hardship would only stay in the snowfield for three to five days at most.

And what actions had Jiang Xiao taken?

He had lived in the snowfield for more than thirty days!

This was no longer just a matter of courage, but also a display of tenacious willpower.

How firm must his heart be?

The intensity of this training probably reached the level of the regular Chinese army.

Even if there were no other-dimensional creatures in the snowfield, surviving in such an extremely harsh environment for more than a month was already a sign of a very outstanding person.

Han Jiangxue was both moved and heartbroken. As she had said, Jiang Xiao should have been steadily improving his strength in his first year of high school, but she had dragged him to the third year. Moreover, he had always been so diligent and hardworking, not only completing all the goals she had set, but even completing goals far beyond what he should have been capable of at his age.

Most importantly, he had never complained.

People's words could be varied and colorful, but actions could not be faked.

Han Jiangxue sat on the side of the bed, carefully tucking in the corners of the blanket for the sleeping Jiang Xiao, and then silently stayed by his side.

She uncharacteristically didn't seize the time to train or study. Her mood was very chaotic at this moment, and she didn't know what to do.

Since her parents had passed away, she had long been accustomed to silently enduring and giving unilaterally.

Fortunately, everything had changed in the week before he entered high school. What troubled her was that she didn't know how to express her inner feelings.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Jiang Xiao slowly woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, Jiang Xiao almost shouted "Ghost!" again. Why was Han Jiangxue still sitting here?

Could it be that the progress bar for conquering her had really grown?

The young lady was getting more and more clingy. This was a good thing.

Jiang Xiao sat up, looked at Han Jiangxue, and said, "Are you here to keep me company for the New Year's Eve?"

Han Jiangxue: "..."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

"Li Qingmei is taking us out for lunch. Don't forget," Han Jiangxue stood up, concealing her emotions, and said, "I can't get in touch with Xia Yan. Try it later."

Jiang Xiao was secretly happy. Could it be that Xia Yan had really turned into Xia Xiaosong (Little Coward)?

"Hey, Little Jiangxue, it's almost 2016. Get me a new phone." Jiang Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong and repeated, "Get me a new phone, please."

Of course, Han Jiangxue didn't understand the dirty thoughts in Jiang Xiao's head. She only thought that he was repeating himself twice to express his desire for a phone.

However, should she indulge him?

Han Jiangxue was a little hesitant. She really wanted to be nice to Jiang Xiao, but she was also afraid of spoiling him.

Should she buy this phone or not?

He had brought back fifty thousand yuan, but she had already confiscated the money, not leaving a single cent for Jiang Xiao, for fear that he would go out and spend it extravagantly and learn bad habits.

"Your phone should be replaced too. It's been used for so many years. It's almost New Year's, let's buy some new clothes too. Your down jacket is already very old. When I wore it this morning..." Jiang Xiao's words stopped abruptly, "Let's... let's go out and buy some new clothes, shall we?"

Girls should all like to buy clothes, right?

Jiang Xiao thought to himself that his phone should also be replaced. This was a weapon for flirting and had to be a good one.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's careful appearance, Han Jiangxue's heart softened. She shook her head with a smile and said, "What phone have you taken a fancy to?"

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up and he said, "When I was training in the snowfield, I saw that Huawei released an 8? It seems to have been released on December 9th?"

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile that wasn't a smile. December 9th? Saying the date so accurately, he had obviously checked it out. He had been planning this for a long time and was still pretending.

Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Your allowance next month will be halved."

"Uh." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "I brought back tens of thousands of yuan..."

Han Jiangxue glared at Jiang Xiao coldly: "I'm saving it for you. When you grow up, I'll use it to get you a wife."

Jiang Xiao: ???

......

At noon, Jiang Xiao walked into a restaurant called Yu Mi Ren Jia (Fish and Rice Family), carrying several clothing bags in his left elbow, containing newly bought clothes and pants, and fiddling with his newly bought phone with both hands, leisurely and carefree.

Silver, noble, cold, and tasteful.

After Jiang Xiao's persistent persuasion, Han Jiangxue finally changed her old phone and chose a silver one that she liked.

In fact, Jiang Xiao wanted a gold color scheme, but in order to match Han Jiangxue's couple style, he could only buy the same one as her.

Jiang Xiao followed Han Jiangxue forward, looking down at his phone, when he heard a familiar voice in front of him: "Long time no see, Little Pi."

"Ah?" As soon as Jiang Xiao looked up, he was gently hugged by that person.

Jiang Xiao was already bending his arms to play with his phone, so he pushed the other person's chest and looked up, only to see that it was Li Weiyi, that handsome guy.

Underneath a head of dark natural curly hair was a handsome face full of smiles: "You must be exhausted these days. You've really worked hard."

In fact, other than Jiang Xiao, the other three members of the team had the same thoughts. Li Weiyi and the others all knew why Jiang Xiao went to the snowfield for training. If possible, Li Weiyi would have been very willing to accompany Jiang Xiao.

However, Han Jiangxue said that Jiang Xiao had more excellent teachers and partners and didn't need Li Weiyi's help, so he suppressed his thoughts, but he was full of emotion in his heart.

For this team, this junior who skipped a grade, was really risking his life.

Most importantly, Jiang Xiao wasn't even taking the college entrance examination this year, so he was doing this entirely for the team.

Jiang Xiao didn't know what the other person was thinking. To be honest, he really wanted to take the college entrance examination this year. Originally, he wanted to hang out in high school and get some skill points by competing in the fish pond.

But now he had broadened his horizons and felt that the skill points from high school competitions were too few.

"Yo, Little Pi, why are you so thin? You don't even look human anymore." A person walked out from behind Li Weiyi's tall figure. It was his girlfriend, Li Qingmei.

Jiang Xiao: ???

Listen to what they're saying!

Li Qingmei came over, her sweet face full of pity, and pinched Jiang Xiao's cheek with one hand: "This child doesn't know to feed himself more milk. He's almost turned into a bamboo pole, looking malnourished. Come in, come in..."

Saying that, Li Qingmei pushed Jiang Xiao's shoulders and pushed him into the private room, hurriedly saying, "Don't wait for Xia Yan, eat some meat first. Here, sweet and sour pork."

Saying that, Li Qingmei turned the dining table and turned the sweet and sour pork to Jiang Xiao's side.

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Li Weiyi also came in and said, "Eat first, Little Pi, don't wait for others."

My goodness, this is amazing.jpg

My pockets are full of new clothes, and I'm holding a new phone in my hand, but you two still treat me like a refugee?

Sure enough,

Is temperament from the inside out?

What made Jiang Xiao speechless was that Han Jiangxue, who was hanging her coat on the coat rack, also turned her head and said, "Eat first."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao put his phone in his pocket, picked up his chopsticks under the gaze of everyone's expectant eyes, and said, "Then I'll eat?"

Li Qingmei hurriedly said, "Eat, eat, I'll order more if it's not enough. You guys are really working so hard."

Saying that, Li Qingmei turned her head and looked at Li Weiyi with resentment.

Li Weiyi smiled and said nothing.

At some point, the private room door was opened a crack, and a figure hid behind the door, carefully looking inside through the crack.

She only saw Jiang Xiao gobbling down his food, and three senior students giving him tea and water.

Xia Yan pursed her lips and quietly sized up Han Jiangxue. Her state seemed very stable, especially the way she looked at Jiang Xiao eating meat. There was no coldness from the past, but rather gentleness.

This seemed like a good opportunity?

Take advantage of her good mood?

Xia Yan pushed open the door and repeatedly said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Li Qingmei smiled and waved, "Yan Yan is here."

Han Jiangxue looked at Xia Yan and asked, "I called you twice this morning. Why didn't you answer?"

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat. She tried to calm herself down, but her voice weakened: "Didn't, didn't hear it. Um, didn't hear it."

Han Jiangxue looked at Xia Yan suspiciously. Why did she look so guilty? What was going on?

Han Jiangxue: "What's wrong with you?"

"Eh?" Xia Yan blinked and looked at the confused Han Jiangxue, seemingly realizing that something was wrong.

Then, Xia Yan looked down at Jiang Xiao, who was gobbling down his food, and gently kicked his stool leg, saying, "You're doing pretty well, huh?"

Jiang Xiao turned his head and beckoned to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and leaned down.

Jiang Xiao leaned close to Xia Yan's ear and whispered, "My body is covered in whip marks. Endure it for a while, and I'll give you a few more Bell Tolls and Blessings. It'll be much better."

Xia Yan shuddered and almost couldn't stand still.

Jiang Xiao continued to whisper: "There's no such thing as an insurmountable obstacle in life. Don't say anything. Eat something first."

Xia Yan pursed her lips, muttering, "This is too unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Reason? With a woman?" Jiang Xiao snorted and said, "What are you standing there for? Eat quickly. While you still have an appetite, eat your fill and then go on your way."

Xia Yan's face changed colors, her eyes darting back and forth between Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, plopping down on the chair without even taking off her wool coat, and directly rolled up her sleeves and picked up the chopsticks.

She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into her mouth, saying vaguely to Jiang Xiao, "Pass me the braised pork over there. I want to see if the pork skin is thick."

Jiang Xiao: "..."
