Nine Star Burden - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: 127

Han Jiangxue obviously sensed something wrong with Xia Yan lately, especially her attitude towards Jiang Xiao . She felt as if the sky had risen from the west .

At this moment, Xia Yan was also cussing her heart out . The matter could have come to an end with Xia Shanhai teaching Xia Yan a lesson while Xia Yan taught Jiang Xiao a lesson .

Which immoral thing actually took a screenshot of those Weibo posts and let Jiang Xiao see the words that I wrote in the confession to myself? 

Besides, the words that she said were also extremely mushy, so much that even Xia Yan felt awkward and embarrassed about it herself .

Lately, she had become less assertive and domineering in front of Jiang Xiao .

Jiang Xiao was amused and infuriated .  This husky has really put in so much effort into getting Han Jiangxue’s attention .  

Both father and daughter are really generous .  

Jiang Xiao felt that it would be inappropriate for the matter to be dragged on . As a man, shouldn’t he shoulder the responsibility?

 Should I protect Han Jiangxue?

 Of course .  

So… 

Should I teach Xia Yan a lesson? 

Okay .  

That’s an issue… 

That night, the pair of siblings headed to the car park together with Xia Yan as usual . Jiang Xiao gave Li Qingmei a Blessing while Li Weiyi gazed at him gratefully, after which he watched as the couple drove away .

“Ka-cha . ” Xia Yan stuck her mobile phone out of the window and snapped some photos while seated in the driver’s seat of her own car .

Due to the fact that she had just received a Blessing, Li Qingmei was in an alluring state .

In the photo, Li Qingmei was seated in the passenger’s seat with her eyes glassed over as she waved at Jiang Xiao with a sweet smile on her face . Li Weiyi, who was seated in the driver’s seat, also nodded and smiled at Jiang Xiao .

The dim light from the street lamps elongated Jiang Xiao’s shadow as he stood outside the car with one hand in his pocket, waving the couple goodbye with the other .

The photo was simply too artistic .

 “Well, poor Xiaopi . ” A hundred thousand malicious comments and remarks formed in Xia Yan’s mind while she looked at the photo on the screen of her mobile phone .

 Han Jiangxue tilted her head and looked at the photo on Xia Yan’s mobile phone . Despite knowing that it was just a joke, Jiang Xiao did look a little lonely as he stood under the streetlamp and watched the couple leave in their car .

Xia Yan murmured, “The most perfect thing is that only Xiaopi’s back was photographed with his expression up for imagination . Oh my god, Xia Yan, you’re awesome . ”

“Put it away . If he sees it, you two are going to argue again,” Han Jiangxue said softly .

“I knew it . You still like me, Xuexue,” said Xia Yan, who quickly put away her mobile phone . She decided to publish it on Weibo once the current matter blew over .

She then turned around, only to see that Jiang Xiao had paused in his tracks while walking towards her .

“Shh~” Xia Yan whistled and said, “Xiaopi, hurry and get inside the car . It’s time to go home . ”

Jiang Xiao humphed in disdain but did not stride away .

It was because he saw a black figure standing beside a black car not far away from him .

Jiang Xiao did not wish to see that figure at all, especially her long and narrow eyes .

The large figure opened the car door and sat in the passenger’s seat . She then leaned forward and opened the door of the driver’s seat .

However, she was leaning against the chair with her back straight and staring at Jiang Xiao silently .

Jiang Xiao wanted to leave and pretend as if nothing had happened .

However, the events of the past flashed in his mind, reminding him that he may not be able to bear the consequences .

Jiang Xiao strode forward, placed his palm on the window of the Land Rover, and said to Han Jiangxue, “I’ll go back later . ”

“Huh?” Han Jiangxue asked in surprise before turning around to look at Jiang Xiao in bewilderment .

If it were a few months ago, Han Jiangxue would have just picked him up and pulled him into the car .

However, Jiang Xiao’s image in her mind had already changed completely at this moment . An attentive and good student who worked hard at training would never waste time by going out to play .

 Compared to the teachers and coaches, Jiang Xiao had stricter requirements for himself .

“What’s the matter? It’s late . Where are you going?” Xia Yan asked curiously without hesitation .

“An old friend is here to visit me,” Jiang Xiao said helplessly .

“You? Old friend? Your friend from middle school? I’ll go with you to take a look,” Xia Yan said, feeling rather interested .

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao thought about their personalities and the situations that might arise, after which he said, “Don’t . I’ll go home on my own . I’ll be back early . ”

Xia Yan turned her head to look at Han Jiangxue, feeling somewhat uncertain and indecisive .

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and did not respond .

 “I do have something to handle, but it’s not dangerous . I’ll be home as soon as possible,” Jiang Xiao said solemnly .

Han Jiangxue pondered for a while and agreed . “Okay, go home early . Keep in touch with me . ”

Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue in shock and bewilderment . “Wow, are you actually going to let him go out at night? Do you feel safe about it?”

“He’s more reliable than you . ” Han Jiangxue humphed and continued, “Drive . ”

“Psht . ” Xia Yan humphed in disdain and stepped on the accelerator, completely ignoring Jiang Xiao .

Han Jiangxue remembered the direction that Jiang Xiao was looking at . As she drove her car out of the parking lot, she carefully glanced out of the window and finally saw a black car that had its door open, parked in a lot .

After a brief moment of eye contact, Han Jiangxue immediately recalled who she was .

The Guardian Of The Night?

Why would such a high-level person be in contact with Jiang Xiao until now?

Xia Yan seemed to still be in the dark about it as she murmured and sped away .

Jiang Xiao strode towards the black car and glanced at the large figure helplessly . Pointing at the empty driver’s seat, he asked, “Are you sure?”

“It’s an automatic transmission, there isn’t much technique needed . It’s just like a toy . The left pedal is for the brakes and the right pedal is the accelerator . Remember to step on the pedal with your right foot . Your left foot should be free and idle . D for Drive, R for Reverse, P for Park . You don’t need to know about the other gears . ”

“Ah…” Jiang Xiao got into the driver’s seat . If it weren’t for the fact that he could drive, he would have really believed Second Last .

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Second Last, only to see that she was wearing a crimson windbreaker, with her hair pulled back into a low ponytail . She exuded a unique charm, especially with her cold and aloof aura .

The passenger seat was also pushed all the way back, but her long legs were still bent in an uncomfortable position .

1 . 7 meters is a good height for women . Any taller and it would be indeed a little troublesome .

 “Are you feeling uncomfortable because of driving?” Jiang Xiao asked with a chuckle as he dragged the car seat forwards by a significant length .

 Second Last pressed her elbow against the window and said, “Yes . ”

Jiang Xiao asked, “Can’t you drive a jeep instead?”

Second Last looked out of the window quietly and did not respond .

 Jiang Xiao asked helplessly, “Where do you want to go?”

Second Last answered in a hoarse voice, “Up to you . ”

“Are you in low spirits?” Jiang Xiao asked as he subconsciously flashed the right signal and gently stepped on the accelerator, after which he made a turn and drove out of the corner .

 Second Last raised her eyebrows slightly, unknown if it was because of the signal lights or because of what Jiang Xiao said . She said in a hoarse voice, “Find a quiet place where we can chat . ”

 *Screech*!

The car came to an abrupt halt and Jiang Xiao changed the gear to reverse back into the parking lot .

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Second Last and said, “We’re here . ”

Second Last remained silent .

“Why did you look me up?” asked Jiang Xiao, deciding to cut straight to the chase .

Second Last stared at Jiang Xiao with a smirk and extended her hand to tap on the screen on the dashboard in the middle of the car . She pinned a location on the map and said, “Go here . ”

“To the… bathhouse!?!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed, feeling rather startled when he saw the name of the location in the GPS .

“There is a barbecued meat shop opposite,” Second Last said casually .

 Jiang Xiao was speechless .

Second Last said, “You don’t like it . ”

Jiang Xiao denied . “Of course I like barbecued skewers . Next time, pin the exact location . You gave me a great shock . ”

Second Last looked out of the window and said, “That place is very small and run down . It can’t be found on the maps at all . ”

Jiang Xiao slowly stepped on the accelerator and understood the special meaning in her words .
