Even if she faced that person, it was very likely that she would be at a disadvantage. If he fired, she estimated that she could only enter Space to save her life. However, by doing so, her Space would be exposed.
So, no matter how dangerous it was in front of that person, she had to firmly remember not to rely on Space as the last resort. She must not enter Space.
Chiang Xiao always had an instinct that she absolutely couldnât be exposed in front of that person.
Otherwise, she would be in great danger.
Leaving the school, Chiang Xiao walked home with a heavy heart.
As she walked, she suddenly had a feeling and looked up sharply, only to see a man standing under a tree not far ahead with burning eyes, opening his arms to her.
Chiang Xiao was startled and immediately ran towards him.
Meng Xinianâs lips curled into a smile, waiting for her to leap into his arms so he could lift her up.
But unexpectedly, while Chiang Xiao indeed ran over, she didnât jump into his arms at all. Instead, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into a wild run.
Whatâs going on?
Meng Xinian ran alongside her, watching her.
He noticed that her expression was quite solemn.
"Chiang Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Is this how she welcomes his return after half a month?
"Whatâs wrong? Did something happen? Is someone chasing you?"
"Letâs run first, weâll talk after weâre far from the school."
Helplessly, Meng Xinian ran with her.
Once they were far from the Art Academy, Chiang Xiao pulled him into a candy shop, taking him to sit in a corner as she let out a long breath.
At this point, she also felt she was being a bit overly nervous.
"Boss, two bowls of sweet soup please." Meng Xinian waved.
"Sure thing, coming right up."
The steaming sweet soup was brought over, and Meng Xinian looked at Chiang Xiao, "Can you talk now? What happened?"
"Itâs a long story."
"Thatâs okay, I have three days off."
Chiang Xiao immediately widened her eyes and gave him a reproachful look.
"You were gone for half a month!"
Meng Xinian reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing fondly, "Hey, is my wife finally starting to have some boudoir complaints?"
Whatâs with the boudoir complaints...
Chiang Xiao grumpily slapped his hand away.
She really did miss him these past two weeks, more than at any time before.
Maybe itâs because too much has happened, and she was holding too much inside. She wanted him to be by her side.
Chiang Xiao used to think she wouldnât have such a dependency, but she truly tasted it recently.
"I came from the hospital, visited Dad."
Meng Xinian sat next to her, put an arm around her shoulders, and said seriously, "Youâve worked hard, my dear wife, youâre amazing."
The first thing he did upon returning from his mission was to call home and ask about Ah Liuâs surgery.
Upon learning the surgery was successful and Ah Liu might be discharged in a couple of days, Meng Xinian finally breathed a big sigh of relief.
Then he hurried to the hospital, initially thinking Chiang Xiao would still be there. But to his surprise, Ah Liu said she had started classes at school today and would visit at noon, asking him to wait.
How could he wait?
Of course, he went to the school to wait for her.
He saw her walking out from afar and waited for her there, watching her step by step towards him. That feeling filled his heart with warmth and fulfillment.
"Did you get hurt on this mission? Why were you gone so long?" Chiang Xiao asked.
Meng Xinian shook his head and said, "No, I wasnât hurt. Itâs just that this time, the mission location was far away, so it took longer to come back."
Chiang Xiao acknowledged softly.
Anyway, he couldnât talk about his mission, and now that heâs already back safely, there was no need to ask further.
