Chapter 428: Abrasions

It was the fourth day of the siblings return to school, the second day after the wasteland reclaimers selection battle.

Song chunxi personally invited Jiang Xiaos team of three for dinner.

Of course, Jiang Xiao and song chunxi were in a team of three. He Xu, the support Warrior, and Wu Yao were also present.

It was the same hot pot restaurant and the same people. However, when Jiang Xiao stepped into the private room in just a week, he felt as if it was yesterday.

Seven days ago, they had been drinking and talking here, thinking about the world Cup and the future. It was so wonderful.

Seven days later, they returned to this place again, but with different feelings and different states of mind.

Everyone in the world was growing at different costs.

Jiang Xiao was just glad that they were still alive.

This meal was indeed a little dull at the beginning.

After a few bottles of wine, song chunxi finally started talking to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan could barely be considered a little alcoholic. Although she was usually very restrained and didnt drink all the time, she did like to drink. Song chunxi did not like to drink, but she drank more than anyone else today. It was probably to her liking.

Just like what officer Qin w.a.n.gchuan had said, in three days, even if you have to pretend, you have to put on a good show!

To her delight, both song chunxi and Xia Yan were not pretending.

Their first gla.s.s of wine immediately silenced the entire room.

Song chunxi stood up alone and raised her gla.s.s at Xia Yan.Im sorry to compete with you for the same position. I want to be in this team.

Xia Yan also stood up and downed her gla.s.s of wine before saying,Youre just and open. If Im not in a good mood, its not because of you, but because of myself.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue knew Xia Yan well and knew that she wasnt the kind of person to talk like that. However, the fact that she did it meant that there was something wrong with her mentality.

He Xu quickly took over the conversation to avoid an awkward silence.

When Jiang Xiao returned to school, he had apologized to him more than once.

However, it was completely unnecessary for Jiang Xiao, because it was his choice to return to the judges office. As an adult, he would be responsible for his own choice.

Besides, he Xu did it out of good intentions. However, Jiang Xiao would probably be really angry if he Xu had really stopped him back then.

He Xu asked,your future plan is to join the wasteland reclaimers? Is this your dream?

Yes, I am. The two of them Han Jiangxue sighed and said,its more to accompany me.

Xia Yan was displeased and retorted,what do you mean by accompanying you? I want to prove that I can do better than Xia Shanhai!

Everyone had their own unique growth experience, and every family had its own difficulties.

However, Huaxia was a relatively traditional country. To outsiders, Xia Yan never called Xia Shanhai dad and kept calling him by his name, which was very easy to be attacked.

Others wouldnt care about what happened between Xia Shanhai and Xia Yan, nor would they have time to explore Xia Yans growth process over the past ten years. As long as they put a label on her, it would be difficult for Xia Yan to make a comeback.

Fortunately, Xia Yan didnt really manage Weibo and didnt have the tendency to become an internet celebrity. Hence, she could avoid being criticized by people.

Jiang Xiao smiled and explained,Xia Yans father is also a pioneer.

He Xu nodded thoughtfully and did not pursue the matter.

How about you? Wu Yao sat in a bold and unrestrained manner. He was also the type to drink large bowls of wine and eat large mouthfuls of meat. He was forthright and carefree. He did not think too much about it. Your dream is to become a wasteland reclaimer too?

Half and half, Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said,I want to be a pioneer in society.

Wu Yao laughed and said,I understand what you mean. It seems that both of you regard your parents as role models and goals. Good luck then, little brother xiaopi.

Whats the matter?Jiang Xiao asked.

Wu Yao said matter-of-factly,its not easy to be a wasteland reclaimer, and you still want to be a.s.sistance to the wasteland reclaimers? You should know that it requires a very, very strong ability to do that.

Wu Yao used the word equivalent to describe the explorers who were not working.

Just as Wu Yao had said, it was the same for the wasteland reclaimers. For regular missions, the wasteland reclaimers would not look for you. The soldiers on duty would be able to solve the problem. Only when the mission was truly dangerous would the military Order you to be dispatched. To a certain extent, this was a kind of request for help.

Ah Han Jiangxue sighed in her heart.

This indirectly showed how powerful the Han couple was. Of course, it also showed how dangerous the Dragon Cave was. If the Dragon Cave was Han Jiangxues ultimate goal, she would still have a long and hard time ahead of her.

She was not afraid of hards.h.i.+p.

The journey was long, but she could still move forward step by step.

What she was afraid of was that she would never be able to reach the end in this life.

Jiang Xiao could sense that Han Jiangxue was acting strangely. He reached under the table and gently held Han Jiangxues cold palm.

You and I grew up together and advanced together.

This was a beautiful thing.

Who cares if the world is far away, or if the flood floods reach the sky,

He just had to take the saber in his hand and leave!

Han Jiangxue didnt know what Jiang Xiao was thinking. There were so many people around and she couldnt help but roll her eyes at him.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly retracted his hand and picked up his chopsticks before reaching into the steaming hot pot in front of him.

Eat meat, eat meat! He ate big mouthfuls of meat!

Why was Jiang Xiaos goal to be a wasteland reclaimer? This was because being a wasteland reclaimer could only be his part-time job and he could only do his best to make adjustments to help Han Jiangxue achieve her goals.

Jiang Xiaos original duty was always to be a night watchman, or rather It could only be second lasts lighchasers.

Jiang Xiao was selected as an apprentice wasteland reclaimers because of his own utilitarian heart, which he didnt deny.

There would definitely be a lot of practical lessons for wasteland reclaimers, and he wanted to be by Han Jiangxues side and escort her on her journey.

However, this was also irresponsible to the wasteland reclaimers and Qin w.a.n.gchuan. Regardless of whether they thought that Jiang Xiao was a gift or not, judging from Qin w.a.n.gchuans personal relations.h.i.+p with the Han couple and his att.i.tude, it was obvious that he had made up his mind to train Jiang Xiao well.

However, Jiang Xiao only came in as a study companion?

Hence, in order not to be a sc.u.mbag apprentice, Jiang Xiao changed his target to being a Social Explorer, killing two birds with one stone.

Wu Yao and he Xu did not partic.i.p.ate in the wasteland reclaimers apprentice selection. They had clear plans for their future and did not want to join the wasteland reclaimers.

According to Wu Yao, regardless of whether she was selected for the World Cup, she would go and achieve her goal after graduating this year.

First, he would travel through the mountains and rivers of China, then he would travel to every corner of the world.

She said that she hoped that when she was old, she could return to da Meng, to her hometown, to look at the stars in the sky, and to recall the scenery she had seen, the people she had met, and the stories she had experienced in her life.

After that He had died under the starry sky.

This surprised everyone. They were all young people around the age of 20. Even if they wanted to die, they would have died in a dangerous mission. No one at this table had thought about the last days of their old age.

Even her teammates, song chunxi and he Xu, were shocked. It seemed like Wu Yao had never revealed his goal to them.

It was his last year in his fourth year of University. Wu Yao had found an opportunity to say it.

Influenced by the atmosphere, he Xu also stated his goal. After graduation, he wanted to continue to study in Beijings star Warriors Academy. However, the Imperial Star Warriors Research Inst.i.tute was located in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital.

Although they were in the same city, there were a lot of people here. If you didnt specifically ask to meet him, he could only be another person living in your address book.

These were words that should have been said in the second semester of their fourth year, or even when they parted, but because of the special occasion and topic, a few seniors in the upper grade said it.

Wu Yao excitedly talked about the route she had already planned and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

After three rounds of drinks, song chunxi and Xia Yan finally had a gla.s.s of wine alone.

Song chunxis cheeks were red and she looked a little tipsy.Dual battle style, its not common, but there is. I hope we have a happy cooperation.

Xia Yan clinked her gla.s.s gently and said,Alright, he said.

This meal could not be said to be a happy one, but it was at least a peaceful and friendly meal.

At the end of the meeting, Xia Yan gave Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue each a gift.

There were two new fruit 7 Plus phones that had just been released in September.

Jiang Xiao held the bag in his hand and couldnt help but open the box inside.

It was Friday night. Although Jiang Xiao had returned to school four days ago, he did not have his mobile phone with him due to his heavy homework and the selection process.

He was still thinking of buying a mobile phone on Sat.u.r.day the next day. To his surprise, Xia Yan actually sent it over?

At first, Han Jiangxue tried to decline the offer, but after Xia Yan pulled her along and mumbled to her, she accepted her kindness.

Xia Yans exact words were,did you know that I crushed eight of xiaopis white Mountain snow feather star beads?

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

Xia Yan whispered,that star bead cant be exchanged for no matter how much money you have. Im afraid I wont be able to repay you in my life. Just let me do something.

Han Jiangxue said,everyone is mutual. If you didnt do your best to help him, he wouldnt have treated you like this. Help him find a coach, accompany him to the snowfield, and buy him those star beads

Xia Yan interrupted Han Jiangxue and said,Look, look at how happy he is using it.

Han Jiangxue turned around and saw Jiang Xiaos confused look.

Was this happy?

Obviously, Jiang Xiao was still in a state of exploration.

Jiang Xiao had always been a loyal user of the Android system and Huawei mobile phone.

Of course, it didnt have anything to do with patriotism. Jiang Xiaos first mobile phone in his previous lifetime was Huawei, and he was used to it. Hence, he didnt change the series of mobile phones.

Jiang Xiao had to spend some time on the fruit 7plus.

Jiang Xiao fumbled around with his new mobile phone while following the rest of the team. However, he ended up walking on the small path at the South Gate of the school again.

When Jiang Xiao stepped onto the road, he couldnt help but stop in his tracks.

The others also had their own thoughts. No one spoke and their footsteps also slowed down.

Jiang Xiao looked at the dim yellow street lights around him and thought for a while before raising his hand to take a photo and posting it on Weibo.

Jiang xiaopi, are you naughty?

From fruit 7plus just now

Other than life and death, there were only bruises.

(Picture)

The photo below showed the path at the South Gate.

At this moment, the path had been completely renewed. The cracks on the ground had disappeared, as if to show that the wounds had been healed.

The healing of the wound didnt mean that he was hiding the truth, nor did it mean that he turned a blind eye to it. Jiang Xiao would always remember everything that happened on this road.

Oh, he Xu. Jiang Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence.

Whats wrong, xiaopi? He Xu thought that Jiang Xiao was reminded of the past and asked with concern.

Jiang Xiao said,Ive made up my mind. Im going to take part in the world Cup. You have to show your best side. Otherwise, Ill take your place in the team.

He Xu was obviously taken aback.

However, as a Star Warrior, he also had his own pride. He smiled and said,Of course, but what if you cant take the place?

With a determined look in his eyes, Jiang Xiao said,then Ill go to another team! If the other teams dont want me, Ill form my own team! If I cant find anyone, then Ill go and partic.i.p.ate in the individual compet.i.tion!

Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around. They saw the slightly blurry figure under the dim yellow street light.

People could feel the determined heart hidden under that tender face.

Pa!

Wu Yao threw away the metal lighter and lit the cigarette with his finger. He raised his head and blew out a cloud of smoke. He laughed,I like this child. Hehe, he Xu, you have to hold on.

He Xu strode forward and retreated while looking at Jiang Xiao from afar. He raised his right hand and said,Ill keep you company.

Jiang Xiao also smiled and looked down at his mobile phone before continuing to walk forward.

What touched Jiang Xiao a little was that most of the comments on his Weibo were encouraging words. People were very happy to see Jiang Xiao face everything bravely and walk out of the haze.

After all, there were still many friendly people.

This group of toxic milk powder even lined up in formation.

Other than life and death, its all bruises.
