Chapter 300 New Year's Eve

"Happy New Year, Xiao Pi!" Fang Xingyun said with a smile, stepping forward and gently hugging Jiang Xiao, patting him on the back.

"Uh... hello, Teacher Fang." Jiang Xiao blinked, glancing past Fang Xingyun's shoulder towards Hai Tianqing at the door.

Unlike Fang Xingyun's joyful expression, Hai Tianqing looked rather somber.

He looked at Jiang Xiao and forced a smile, "Happy New Year."

Jiang Xiao hurriedly ushered the two into the house, searching for slippers on the shoe rack, "The New Year is two days away, aren't you... going home for the New Year?"

"Silly child, the two of us are each other's family for the New Year." Fang Xingyun said with a generous smile, not shying away from the fact that she had been abandoned by her maiden family, "Xiao Hai's parents are both in Jiangbin City, we can go back anytime."

"Oh, oh, come in, come sit, I'll get you some water." Jiang Xiao said quickly.

This New Year was the most crowded one yet.

"It smells so good." Fang Xingyun looked into the kitchen and saw Han Jiangxue standing in front of the stove. Fang Xingyun took off her coat and hurried into the kitchen.

In the living room, only the silent Hai Tianqing and Jiang Xiao, who was carrying tea, remained.

*Click.*

The bathroom door opened, and Er Wei came out.

Hai Tianqing, who had just sat down on the sofa, subconsciously stood up, looked at Er Wei in surprise, and said, "Luan... Er... um, Hongying."

"Mm." Er Wei sat on the sofa to the side, looked at the uneasy Hai Tianqing, and found guilt and self-blame in his nervous expression.

Er Wei crossed her legs, propped her elbow on the sofa armrest, supported her chin with her palm, looked up at Hai Tianqing, and said in a hoarse voice, "You couldn't get an answer from me, so you came to make things difficult for my men."

Jiang Xiao felt a palpitation, *damn*, this aura...

"That." Jiang Xiao looked at the embarrassed Hai Tianqing and quickly said, "I told him everything."

Hearing this, Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao, then turned to look at Hai Tianqing, and said, "The murderer, and the person who gave the murderer the mission, have already been brought to justice."

Hai Tianqing opened his mouth, "I..."

"Sit, sit, sit." Jiang Xiao said quickly, reaching out and pushing Hai Tianqing, making him sit down on the sofa.

"Since you're here, don't be so depressed. Have a good New Year." Er Wei said, but then turned her eyes to the kitchen door.

Fang Xingyun came out, her face froze for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Ms. Luan."

Er Wei nodded slightly, seemingly not liking crowded environments. She glanced at Jiang Xiao and said, "Call me when it's time to eat."

Hai Tianqing looked at Er Wei's back and suddenly said, "I don't want you to be comforting me. They are members of the Hua Xing, the Hua Xing organization has been wreaking havoc around the world for more than ten years, no one has ever caught them, you said they have been brought to justice..."

Er Wei stopped and turned to look.

Hai Tianqing's face was extremely ugly, "Is there anything I can help with, anything at all? He was attacked after attending my wedding, I really hope to do something."

Er Wei raised her head slightly and nodded towards Jiang Xiao, who was pouring tea for Hai Tianqing, with her chin, "He's already done it all for you."

"Hm?" Hai Tianqing frowned and turned to look at Jiang Xiao.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Hai Tianqing's solemn expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, looking at Jiang Xiao, who was meekly pouring tea.

Fang Xingyun looked at Jiang Xiao with concern and asked softly, "You...revealed that mutated Bamboo Bear to lure the people from the Hua Xing organization?"

There are still quite a few smart people.

Jiang Xiao poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to Fang Xingyun, "Sit down, sit down quickly..."

"Xiao Pi, this method is too radical, and too risky." Fang Xingyun looked worried.

Seeing Jiang Xiao's appearance of refusing to respond to this topic, Fang Xingyun's eyes even showed some heartache, "You're still a child, you shouldn't bear such a heavy responsibility. There's no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. You may spend your whole life in fear, it's too dangerous."

Jiang Xiao grinned and said reassuringly, "I'm an adult now. I know what I'm doing, what decisions I'm making, and what kind of person I'm becoming."

Hai Tianqing: "Xiao Pi..."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Adults must be responsible for their actions. Whether they can afford it or not is determined by my own ability, and the consequences are borne by me, regardless of anyone else."

"There are 11 members left in the Hua Xing organization, if you want..." Jiang Xiao looked at Hai Tianqing and shrugged, the meaning was self-evident.

Fang Xingyun held the warm teacup and suggested, "Xiao Pi, after school starts next semester, move in with us."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Xiao was deeply moved.

The Hua Xing organization is no joke, it almost represents the top combat power of the Star Warrior world. Fang Xingyun didn't hesitate at all, directly inviting a "time bomb" to live in her home, what kind of courage and魄力did that require?

In the room, Er Wei, who was sitting alone at the small table, heard Fang Xingyun's words and thought highly of this woman.

Er Wei also didn't expect that Jiang Xiao's relationship with the two teachers would be so deep.

Hai Tianqing also hurriedly spoke, inviting Jiang Xiao, "Yes, Xiao Pi, after you return to school, move in with us."

"Teacher Hai, don't be deceived by my age." Jiang Xiao sat down on the sofa and said, "I am a formal member of the Zhuguang Squad. I have some missions recently, and I may not return to school next semester."

Fang Xingyun asked suspiciously, "Is it because of the general environment? Does your Night Watch have special missions?"

Jiang Xiao: "Hm?"

Fang Xingyun took a sip of tea and said, "I know, the situation is getting more and more tense. The Apennine Peninsula is already in chaos. The open Sacred Ruins are still spreading to the surrounding areas. The World Cup is in Will Country this year, I don't know if it can still be held."

Hai Tianqing said while thinking, "If the situation is not really bad to a certain degree, the World Cup should be held.

In any case, such a grand event will give people around the world some confidence, even if it is an illusion. Before the disaster level reaches a certain degree, many countries will hold on.

But if it continues to develop according to this trend, even if it can be held, this World Cup may be the last one."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand indifferently and said, "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. Soldiers like me, who specialize in taking on 'big jobs,' shouldn't think about things a few months from now. Let's take it one step at a time. Who knows what the earth will be like at that time, and what kind of mission I will receive."

Hearing these words, Fang Xingyun lowered her head slightly and gently rubbed her flat belly.

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, that subtle movement, was that subconscious?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiao's face lit up with joy and said, "Teacher Fang, are you pregnant?"

"Ah." Fang Xingyun exclaimed softly, her hand stroking her belly paused slightly, but she looked up and glared at Jiang Xiao reproachfully.

Jiang Xiao: ???

This is a great joy, what is this reaction?

Hai Tianqing, who was on the side, looked at Fang Xingyun blankly and said, "Wife, you... are pregnant?"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Fang Xingyun's face was slightly red and nodded, "My period didn't come this month. A few days ago, I used a test strip."

Hai Tianqing looked dumbfounded, "Why didn't you tell me..."

Fang Xingyun lowered her head and said softly, "I wanted to tell you on New Year's Day."

Seeing this scene between the couple, Jiang Xiao immediately fell silent. It seemed like... he had caused trouble.

The couple discussed it for a long time before looking at Jiang Xiao again.

Jiang Xiao was sitting on pins and needles, quickly stood up and said, "Teacher Fang, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you now! Sour jujubes? Hawthorn? Oh, right, tonight we have pork stew with vermicelli, it's all with sauerkraut."

Fang Xingyun glared at Jiang Xiao angrily, even her angry appearance was gentle and soft, "Shut up."

"Oh, I'll go see if Little Jiangxue has finished cooking." Jiang Xiao's figure disappeared in an instant, even in the living room at home, only a few meters away from the kitchen, Jiang Xiao blinked so happily...

After a while, Han Jiangxue came out. She stood two steps away from Fang Xingyun and said softly, "Teacher Fang, congratulations."

Fang Xingyun knew Han Jiangxue's temperament and didn't mind her purely polite and proper congratulations. Fang Xingyun reached out and placed her hand on Han Jiangxue's hand, gently pinching it, "Thank you."

Han Jiangxue released Fang Xingyun's hand and said, "The meal is ready, let's go in and eat."

Fang Xingyun: "Okay, teacher will taste your cooking."

Han Jiangxue beckoned Fang Xingyun and Hai Tianqing to get up and go to the kitchen.

As soon as they entered the kitchen door, they saw Jiang Xiao secretly eating braised pork. Caught red-handed, Jiang Xiao touched his lips stained with golden oil and quickly blinked away.

This scene was still a bit uncomfortable for Hai Tianqing and Fang Xingyun.

He really comes and goes like a phantom...

A few minutes later, Jiang Xiao came with Er Wei, and not only that, but he also had a huge stuffed toy - a Bamboo Bear.

On the Bamboo Bear's back, a cute little candle flame, with bright candle eyes, curiously looked at everyone in the room.

"Ying~"

"Wu?" The two cute pets followed the scent to the table.

The Bamboo Bear was also not polite, and stood up directly. The two teachers then realized that this guy was taller than both of them when he stood up...

Jiang Xiao helped Yingying Bear sit on the chair, took the apron that Han Jiangxue had taken off, and tied it around Yingying Bear's neck. He threw the little candle flame to Han Jiangxue.

Since the Black and White Candle Flame advanced to Platinum quality, its body became stronger and turned into a "little chubby", throwing it was no longer like throwing a balloon, but more like throwing a basketball, the feel was very good.

"Wu~" The little candle flame plunged its head (face) into Han Jiangxue's arms, and even rubbed back and forth like a spoiled child, but unfortunately... well... never mind.

Braised pork, cold dishes, sauerkraut pork stew with vermicelli, *Di San Xian* (stir-fried potatoes, eggplants, and green peppers), sweet and sour fish, boiled fish, pan-fried salmon, crucian carp tofu soup...

It can be seen that it not only has certain local characteristics, but also fish occupies a very important proportion.

Er Wei looked at the dishes on the table and glanced at Han Jiangxue thoughtfully.

But Han Jiangxue didn't pay attention to Er Wei at all, and didn't have time to pay attention to Er Wei. She reached out and grabbed the little candle flame, and quickly hugged it into her arms again.

She originally put the little candle flame on the table, wanting to feed it directly, but she didn't expect that this little guy was a bit greedy, its head (face) almost plunged into the crucian carp tofu soup, fortunately, Han Jiangxue was quick-witted...

A meal, not a New Year's Eve dinner, was better than a New Year's Eve dinner, and the host and guests were happy.

After dinner, Han Jiangxue and Fang Xingyun took the little candle flame and Bamboo Bear to play in the living room, and Er Wei also went back to the room to rest, leaving Jiang Xiao and Hai Tianqing to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Jiang Xiao stood in front of the sink and suddenly said, "Teacher Hai."

"Hm?" Hai Tianqing replied while cleaning up the piles of fish bones in a certain area on the table and pouring them into the trash can.

Jiang Xiao washed the dishes and said softly, "Forget what I said before."

Hai Tianqing: "What?"

Jiang Xiao: "There are still 11 people in the Hua Xing organization, forget this sentence."

Hai Tianqing put down his work and turned to look at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao seriously washed the dishes and chopsticks and said, "You're going to have a child, you're going to be a father. If Yi Wei was still here, I think he wouldn't want you to take risks either, he would also want you to protect your family."

Hai Tianqing was silent for a long time and said softly, "You've grown up, you've already started to educate me."

Jiang Xiao changed the subject and said, "Do you think Teacher Fang will have a boy or a girl?"

Hai Tianqing: "Both are the same."

Jiang Xiao: "Maybe they're twins."

Hai Tianqing smiled, happy and sincere, "Thank you for your blessing."

Jiang Xiao nodded, put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned around, leaned against the stove, and looked at Hai Tianqing.

His expression was serious and solemn, "Protect them, keep them away from danger."

Hai Tianqing silently looked at Jiang Xiao, and after a long time, nodded gently.
