Chapter 2426 - 2362: Seems to Be Injured

How could it be that Meng Xi didn’t see them?

Of course, as soon as he returned, the first person he looked at was Chiang Xiao. Who would pay attention to those few rough fellows?

Now that Ding Haijing had coughed twice, he finally raised his eyes and glanced over at them.

"Officer Meng."

Luo Yongsheng and Guan Tiezhu greeted him simultaneously, but Ding Haijing’s gaze was intense, "Officer Meng, care for a match?"

"Not interested, you’re not my opponent." Meng Xi said calmly, not sparing any feelings.

He knew long ago that Ding Haijing had fought with Wei Yixi but had never won against him.

On land, even Wei Yixi wouldn’t be a match for him now, let alone Ding Haijing.

"How would you know if you don’t try?"

"It’s obvious at a glance."

Meng Xi replied, "Hang on, let me take a shower and change my clothes before we talk. Little, come inside and find some clothes for me."

He earnestly pulled Chiang Xiao inside, shutting the door with a backhanded motion, then immediately leaned in close.

Though she said so, Chiang Xiao still embraced his waist.

However, Meng Xi was also worried that the scent of his clothes would really bother her.

After releasing her, his eyes lit up as he said, "Have you grown taller?"

Chiang Xiao was momentarily stunned, then looked at him; indeed, she noticed she didn’t have to tilt her head as much as before to meet his eyes.

"I hadn’t noticed myself, but maybe I’ve grown to this height now."

There’s a chance she might not grow any taller.

"Not necessarily, you might grow until you’re twenty." Meng Xi reached out to ruffle her hair, "Is there anything urgent you need to tell me? If not, wait until I’ve showered and we can talk."

"No, there’s not."

"I do." Meng Xi gazed at her intently, "I missed you."

Chiang Xiao: "...."

Isn’t that a bit cheesy?

Meng Xi, however, didn’t find it cheesy at all.

Even though they’ve known each other for over five years, could it really count when she was just a little girl?

Back then, even thinking a bit more would make him feel like a beast.

A genuine relationship, truly having feelings for her.

Besides, the time they’ve spent together each year isn’t much. Previously, even less so. It’s really only in this past year that they’ve seen each other more frequently.

He felt he could never tire of Chiang Xiao.

"I’m going to take a shower."

Meng Xi chuckled lightly, noticing the slight blush on her cheeks.

See, even though she finds it cheesy, every time he earnestly says he missed her, she still blushes.

Chiang Xiao fetched a clean set of clothes for him, watched him enter the bathroom, patted her face, and went back to the living room.

Ding Haijing looked at her.

"I didn’t expect Officer Meng to be like this with his fiancée. I heard he’s quite cold and often like a zombie."

Chiang Xiao: "..."

Since knowing Meng Xi, she never thought of him as a zombie face; he was just more of a tyrant.

It seems the old Meng Xi really gave others a wrong impression.

"However, Officer Meng seems to have an injury."

Guan Tiezhu suddenly said.

Chiang Xiao was startled, injured?

How did she not notice?

"You might not have seen it, just when you threw yourself into his arms..." Guan Tiezhu felt a bit embarrassed when he said this, but still continued, "You might have bumped into his chest, I saw him frown slightly."

At that moment, Chiang Xiao was nestled in his arms and didn’t see his face, so naturally, she didn’t notice it.
