Chapter 127: Barbecue with Second Last
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
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.
