The next morning, Jiang Xiao and the national team members had lunch together in the cafeteria and saw some of their teammates whom they had not seen for a long time.
The students went forward to congratulate him one after another, and Jiang Xiao thanked them profusely.
There was only a small problem when she was talking to Xin AIAN. The young lady might be a little shy and had probably said everything she wanted to say on the phone. She didnât know how to face Jiang Xiao either.
Jiang Xiao greeted her and didnât make things difficult for her. He didnât interact too much with her.
After all, she had lost the game, so her mood couldnât be much better. At this time, she had to grasp the extent of her naughtiness âŚ
Unsurprisingly, most of the students who made it to the top 82 did not return to their teams. Xie Xie, Yu Jin, and hou Ming were all resting and recuperating, but Wu Xiaojing had rushed back.
Jiang Xiao only found out later that Wu Xiaojing had rushed back to comfort Xin AIAN.
Of these two girls, one came from the southwest and the other came from the East China. The distance between their regions was extremely far, but this did not prevent the two from becoming best friends.
âLong legs of frost, comforting the cute tree loli?â
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao couldnât see such a scene and he couldnât follow the two girls to take photos either. He could only secretly imagine it.
âŚ
The hotel was filled with members of the national team and related staff, each of whom was fiercer than the other. If Jiang Xiao dared to do anything sneaky, he would probably be hung up and beaten.
However, it didnât matter. Jiang Xiaoâs long legs were here!
Uh, donât get me wrong, itâs not Han Jiangxue. Sheâs still preparing for the competition with the team and has no time to bother with Jiang Xiao.
Xia Yan is finally here!
On the 8th of June, she finally finished her final exams and quickly flew to Japan.
Of course, Xia Yanâs first priority was to visit Han Jiangxue, and then ⌠After that, Xia Yan was denied entry.
She was ruthlessly rejected by the team staff and chased out of the training ground. She could only call Han Jiangxue in sadness. The problem was âŚ
Han Jiangxue still took some time to say a few words to Xia Yan before returning to the auditorium to study the tactics of other teams with the help of professional analysts.
The sad Xia Yan did not see Han Jiangxue and finally thought of the âspare tireâ.
And then, she came âŚ
She stood at the entrance of the hotel and waited for more than half an hour before she finally managed to contact Jiang Xiao. After waiting for another hour, Jiang Xiao applied for a travel permit and the two of them finally met in the night.
Xia Yan stood at the entrance of the square outside the hotel and was kicking stones in boredom. From time to time, she would glare at the paparazzi around her.
When she saw Jiang Xiao walking out of the hotelâs revolving door, she immediately forgot about her fatigue and waved her hands excitedly.ââXiaopi! Xiaopi!â
Jiang Xiao hurriedly walked over.
Xia Yan was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of denim hot pants. She exuded a youthful and beautiful aura. However, she was wearing denim hot pants after all, so her long legs were very eye-catching âŚ
Jiang Xiao walked out smilingly and apologized profusely.ââI didnât mean to make you wait so long. The management here is too strict, eh? Eh? What are you doing? Let me down!â
Husky Xia couldnât contain his excitement. He put his hands under his armpits and lifted him up.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded!
He was really dumbfounded!
Was he being lifted high up?
âThatâs great! Xiaopi!â Not only did Xia Yan lift him up, but she also shook him back and forth.âAll I could think of during the exam was your fighting scenes. I failed all my subjects!â
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
You didnât f * cking learn well and failed your exam. Donât blame me?
This reason was amazing!
Although the streets were brightly lit, the light from the cameras was very eye-catching because it was dark.
Jiang Xiao felt that the series of flashes almost blinded his eyes, and the shutter sounds were heard one after another.
The staff member behind Jiang Xiao turned pale and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.ââMind your image, you two mind your image! Put it down, quickly put it down. â
Xia Yan stuck out her tongue and put Jiang Xiao down before putting her arm around his shoulder.
This action was still considered normal, and the young man behind him did not say anything more.
Jiang Xiao could understand her excitement and agitation. After all, they had not seen each other for a few months. Besides, Jiang Xiaoâs results were still so good. Besides, she was originally a Husky. Hence, Jiang Xiao resisted the urge to kick her in front of the camera.
The two of them strode away and Xia Yan hurriedly asked,ââYou donât have any matches these days. What have you been doing? Youâre staying in the hotel every day?â
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said,âIâm studying their tactics. Iâm watching the video of the competition. Itâs already the top 82 now and there are fewer participants. The team has found me some stronger opponents so that I can get familiar with their battle tactics.â
Xia Yan nodded and couldnât help but turn around to look at the young man behind her.ââHeâs just following us like this?â
Jiang Xiao said helplessly,âitâs not just him. There are so many other people with cameras and mobile phones.â
âThen, shall we take a taxi?â Xia Yan asked.
Jiang Xiao nodded.
After a while, Jiang Xiao and the young man got into a taxi and left.
However, Jiang Xiao could already guess what kind of news would be on the internet the next day.
âYour hair has grown out?â In the car, Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan and said smilingly,â
The last time she went to the black stone Mountain to train, her hair was burnt, so she had to cut her hair into a buzz cut. After a few months, she had grown a lot.
âYes, yes. Oh right, this is your reward. The competition was very exciting!â Xia Yan took out a box from her bag and handed it to Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao didnât even need to open the box to know what it was.âCell phone?â
âYeah, didnât you say that youâre not used to the fruit system?â Xia Yan asked.
While opening the box, Jiang Xiao said,ââThat was when I first got it. Iâm used to it now.â
Xia Yan spread her hands.âI donât know how to reward you. Take it. Itâs new. Use it to scare people.â
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Wow, itâs the Huawei P10 Plus.
Alright, there was no time like the present, letâs start today!
The two of them took a resentful light bulb and wandered around the congested city. Under the introduction of the driver, they came to a barbecue shop.
Xia Yan couldnât stop talking along the way, even when she was eating barbecued meat. She didnât stop eating and chatting.
He could tell that she was genuinely happy for Jiang Xiao and might even be proud of him.
âWhat? Have you never met xuexue before? Oh, alright. â
âEh, your saber skills are really too dazzling. Not only is it dazzling, but itâs also very effective. When I was teaching you, I never thought that you would be able to train it to this level. â
âMaple Leafâs Captain is too hateful. If it were me, I would have cut her into eight pieces!â
âThat Captain of sun never sets will also be chopped into eight pieces!â
Jiang Xiao stopped picking up the meat with his chopsticks and looked at Xia Yan in a daze.ââWhat happened to her? Why did you chop her up?â
âUh,â Xia Yan scratched her head and said,âIâm fine.â
Jiang Xiao chuckled and said,âletâs work hard. We still have two years to prepare. In the next world Cup, song chunxi and the other two will be gone. Itâs time for the three of us to take over. Weâll find a better shield warrior then.â
Upon hearing his words, Xia Yanâs eyes lit up and she nodded.
Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yanâs eyes that were filled with yearning and sighed secretly.
Xia Yan was definitely a competitive person. She watched as her best friend fought for the country, as well as Jiang Xiao, who was supposed to be a few years younger than her. There was no doubt that she felt a little lonely while she was happy.
However, Jiang Xiaoâs words were 10000 times more comforting and encouraging than any other words.
âOh, thatâs right.â Jiang Xiao said,âIâve also prepared a gift for you. This is an out-of-print star bead that I brought back from abroad. Itâs already out of print in the dimensional space.â
Xia Yan blinked her big eyes and suddenly said,âLast time, I used my mobile phone to exchange for the White Mountain snow feather star bead. This time, I got another star bead thatâs out of print?â
Jiang Xiao threw a piece of sizzling roasted meat into his mouth and said in a muffled voice,ââThen what are you waiting for? hurry up and buy more phones. What if I have more?â
Xia Yan was speechless.
Jiang Xiao said,âhowever, you only have one star slot left that you can use. Although the STAR technique in this star bead is more suitable for you, you shouldnât think about it for now. By the way, do you have a star pet you like?â
Xia Yan pursed her lips and shook her head.âDonât talk about liking me. Iâm still not sure what kind of star pet I want. Many teachers have suggested that I look for a star pet that can provide medical support. But when I think of you, I feel that other Medical PetS are boring.â
âAh?â Jiang Xiao asked.
I treat you as a teammate, but you treat me as âŚ
âPfft!â At the side, the young man immediately lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of drink. At first, he thought that they were siblings and later thought that they were a couple. However, after hearing Xia Yanâs words, he suddenly had some strange thoughts.
Jiang Xiao patted the back of the young man and asked,ââBrother, whatâs your name?â
âAhem.â The young man took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and said,âgood.â
Jiang Xiaoâs voice suddenly became gentler as he rubbed the young manâs back and said,ââGood, youâre already a mature third wheel. You have to learn how to sneaky.â
Good was speechless.
Xia Yan glanced at the third wheel in disdain and continued to look at Jiang Xiao.ââWeâre drawing lots tomorrow, right? I wonder who heâs going to hit this time. â
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said,ââIt doesnât matter if weâre leaders or not, as long as no ordinary students come. I can fight anyone with the word âGodâ in their name. â
Xia Yanâs lips curled up slightly and she finally couldnât help but laugh out loud. However, her arrogant look didnât make anyone feel disgusted.
Goodâs eyes widened.
Sigh, this is an evil era of looking at appearances âŚ
Jiang Xiao continued,âIâve discussed with the staff for a long time just now. Thereâs no way to make an exception. You can find a hotel nearby to stay in.â
Xia Yan waved her hand casually and said,âyes, you donât have to worry about these things. Iâll go and buy the tickets after watching your drawing tomorrow.â After watching your match the day after tomorrow, Iâll go watch xuexueâs match the day after. Sheâs great too, sheâs already in the top 65 in the world. â
Jiang Xiao said,âyou donât have to buy a ticket. Iâll talk to the leader of the team. As my team of friends and family, I can bring you in directly.â
âSure,â Xia Yan nodded.
Jiang Xiao whipped out his new mobile phone, got up, and sat down beside Xia Yan.
âWhat?â Xia Yan asked.
Jiang Xiao raised his mobile phone and pointed the screen at the two of them.ââTake a photo. Download the software and post it on Weibo when youâre back at the hotel.â
âOh.â Xia Yan put down her chopsticks and pressed her head against Jiang Xiaoâs temple, making a funny face.
Kachaa!
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Yanâs funny appearance, which made him burst into laughter.
This girl was a little too excited today. Although it was usually a Husky, it was probably a Husky that was tearing down a house.
Besides, Jiang Xiao could clearly sense the psychological changes in Xia Yan. In the past, she used to regard herself as Han Jiangxueâs best friend and wanted to help and take care of Jiang Xiao. She had always treated Jiang Xiao like a little brother.
But now, it seemed that she had abandoned that identity and those thoughts.
Therefore, all the fancy tricks were useless.
After all, men should use their strength to speak!
Jiang Xiao explained,âa lot of photos were taken in front of the hotel just now. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? instead of letting others make up stories, I might as well self-destruct first.â
Xia Yan widened her eyes and asked,âeh? Self-retribution?â
âYes, self-destruct,â Jiang Xiao said.
âWhat are you signing up for?â Xia Yan asked.
Jiang Xiao drew a line in the air with his finger and said,ââInfatuated Yan chased me from thousands of miles away to Japan to save her love.â
Jiang Xiao drew a horizontal line below and said,ââHeartless skin is focused on the World Cup, his heart is like a rock, unmoved.â
Xia Yanâs face turned dark and the two chopsticks in her hand creaked.
âGoode!â Jiang Xiao hurriedly sat back down on the bench opposite him and said,âbe careful, sheâs going to hurt the World Cup participants! Immediately! She was gathering power! Her anger was soaring! Quick, letâs switch seats, Iâll hide inside âŚâ
