Chapter 1565: Chapter 1567: Better to Improve Oneself than to be Improved by Others Chapter 1565: Chapter 1567: Better to Improve Oneself than to be Improved by Others Chiang Xiao waved her fist at them arrogantly and said, âTrain harder, train harder! Otherwise, Iâm afraid youâll lose embarrassingly!â
âSister-in-law, pride comes before a fall!â The group of Supervisor Guards burst into laughter, and someone shouted out.
Chiang Xiao nodded with a measure of seriousness, âHmm, thatâs actually a good point.â
As they were all laughing, she coughed, then said earnestly, âBut this isnât pride, itâs confidence! So I wonât fall behind!â
They erupted into laughter again.
Zhao Xin chimed in from the side, âSister-in-law, youâre becoming more and more like our Great Officer! Both of you have such thick skin!â
Chiang Xiao shot him a glance and immediately shouted, âBrother Xinian! Zhao Xin said youâre thick-skinned!â
Zhao Xin: ââŠâ He bolted.
The others burst into laughter once more.
Chiang Xiao couldnât stop smiling either.
Zhao Erleng, perpetually saying or doing the wrong thing, had been punished by Meng Xinian so many times that he was now genuinely terrified of him.
Wang Yi watched as Chiang Xiao navigated the Alliance District with such ease and comfort, nudging her enviously while lowering her voice, âXiao Chiang, I really envy you.â
Chiang Xiao laughed as she asked, âWhat do you envy about me?â
âYour personality! You can talk and joke freely with them. I just canât. Every time I see them, I feel a bit nervous. I only respect and admire them but I donât dare to joke around.â
Chiang Xiao glanced at her and thought for a momentâshe could understand Wang Yi.
Wang Yiâs family was also politically involved, but she grew up close to her uncle, Director Jin of the art academy. Later, she studied literature and entered the art academy, so you could say she belonged to the arts and culture circle.
For Wang Yi, she was most familiar with literati and paintersâgentle, scholarly typesâwhich were completely different from the imposing Supervisor Guards.
She had her eye on Chen Yin, perhaps because he too carried that cultured and refined demeanor.
In the past, Wang Yi had been a little intimidated by Meng Xinian as well, but recently, as their bond grew closer, she had seen more of his gentle side toward her, and the fearful feeling had faded.
So, asking Wang Yi to find a Supervisor Guard as a partner might really not be realistic.
Although Chiang Xiao felt Chen Yin wasnât a good match for Wang Yi, still, âYou are not a fish; how can you know the joy of fish?â
Some people donât necessarily need to marry someone who loves them deeplyâthey might prefer to marry someone they deeply love.
Understanding this, Chiang Xiao patted Wang Yiâs shoulder and decided to let Wang Yi make her own decisions about relationships and let things take their natural course.
Everything that needed saying had already been said.
Still, she added, âWang Yi, I think, no matter the situation, as long as weâre confident and mentally strong enough, whoever we face, whatever choice we make, and whatever outcome we encounterâwe wonât suffer too much and weâll overcome the challenges.â
Wang Yi seemed thoughtful.
âLife is just a journey of cultivationâbeing cultivated by others is no match for self-cultivation.â Chiang Xiao winked at Wang Yi.
Self-cultivation?
âXiao Chiang, youâre not even eighteen yet, how can you talk like such an old soul?â Wang Yi mused for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Chiang Xiao glared at her, âWang Yi, are you indirectly implying Iâm old now?â
âNo, youâre just precocious!â
âWho said so? Iâm still an innocent, adorable, intelligent, and beautiful teenage girl!â
The two laughed heartily together.
Just then, a Jeep drove into the camp gates. Sitting in the passenger seat was a handsome young man dressed in a Supervisor Guard uniform.
