Chapter 126: Private Conversation

After Hai Tianqing came to look for Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao felt rather worried for a long time.

However, he soon forgot about it because he was overwhelmed with a heavy workload and a high-intensity training regime and was too exhausted to think about it.

Living in Xia Yan’s home did bring him plenty of benefits. First of all, he was fed well and had all of his meals provided for, from breakfast to supper.

Even though eating supper was unhealthy, Jiang Xiao was really famished.

Besides, he was still in the midst of puberty. Hence, he would never suppress his appetite for delicious food.

Amongst his current hierarchy of needs, gluttony was a desire that could be fulfilled the most easily.

Another benefit was the chauffeur sending him to and fro school every day for free.

Although a Land Rover was indeed a little too eye-catching and flamboyant for a kid, Jiang Xiao just had to get used to it.

Jiang Xiao carried his backpack and hung his head low while entering the classroom, feeling extremely stressed.

He clearly had three years to prepare for his final examination. Yet, he had no choice but to enter Year Three in advance for the sake of helping Han Jiangxue.

The three main major subjects were not too bad since Jiang Xiao had learned about it before in the world that he came from.

However, the Star Study test that was worth 100 points gave Jiang Xiao a huge headache.

Why did his team work hard to get bonus points for the college entrance examination?

They were awarded 10 bonus points in the provincial league!

Yet, what happened?

Previously, Jiang Xiao scored 30-something points in the subjects about different dimensions while Han Jiangxue scored 92 points…

To Jiang Xiao, what was the point of 10 bonus points?

Jiang Xiao’s mentality was constantly changing. After experiencing those events in the snowfield, he wanted to stay by Han Jiangxue’s side instead of staying in school and sending her to university.

In particular, he was even more affected by what happened on the cold stone steps in the backyard of Xia Yan’s home.

When Han Jiangxue stopped being stern and acting like his parent for a brief moment and rested her head on his shoulder…

At that instant, Jiang Xiao got a clear idea of what he wanted.

Indeed, Jiang Xiao wanted to go to the same university as Han Jiangxue and he didn’t want to stay in high school or join the Guardians Of The Night. He wanted to take good care of Han Jiangxue who had been shouldering everything by herself.

Morning lessons and self-study sessions at night were the rare rare times when Jiang Xiao could learn more knowledge from books.

Training sessions would occupy his time during the morning workout slot and practical classes in the afternoon and night.

At this juncture, what Jiang Xiao needed the most was a clone.

No, he would probably need an avatar. While he trained his body and honed his skills, his avatar would study in school and attend lessons. After he took his avatars back, his mind would be full of all the knowledge learned by the avatar.

He could imagine how pleasurable it would be.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao did not find such a Star Technique.

There were plenty of creatures of other dimensions that could become avatars, but from the feedback of users that had been posted on the internet, it seemed that the results were not as effective as imagined.

Jiang Xiao wondered if he could achieve the desired effect after upgrading the quality of his Star Techniques. There were rarely any “Avatar” Star Techniques in Beijiang Province, and the White Ghoul Witch’s “Decoy” could be considered one of them.

He wondered if the Star Technique “Decoy” could become more interesting after its quality got upgraded.

The Brass Quality Decoy would only create an illusory figure.

At this time, Jiang Xiao’s Silver Quality “Decoy” at least felt a little substantial and real.

If he were to continue upgrading the quality, would the clone have a physical body?

Would the physical body have its own consciousness then?

Jiang Xiao could now control the shadow and figure of his Star Technique Decoy and make it react the way he wanted it to.

It was just like Jiang Xiao controlling his own hands with ease and finesse. It seemed totally natural to him and he didn’t have to train or practice it much.

“Xiaopi! Xiaopi!” a voice chirped as she leaned her head closer towards him.

Jiang Xiao snapped out of his trance and discovered that it was Su Rou, the girl who sat in front of him.

Whenever Su Rou spoke to him that way, he knew that he had to work again.

Jiang Xiao sat on the seat and took out a book from his bag. “Which part of you hurts today?”

“Ah, did you grow taller again?” Su Rou stood up and raised her head to look at Jiang Xiao. She was about 1.65 meters tall and, perhaps because she was a live-stream host, she was rather sensitive towards others’ appearance.

In the past few months since school started, she had noticed some changes in Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao smiled and asked, “Stop trying to act like we’re close. Which part of you hurts?”

“What hurts? It doesn’t hurt. Hurry and come say hi to my fans.” Su Rou scurried towards him and placed her mobile phone in front of him.

“Ah, hello.” Slightly stunned, Jiang Xiao began to see several pop-up messages on the screen:

“My adorable little Pork Bun actually got rejected.”

“Oh wow, isn’t this our little toxic healer?”

”There’s my brother-in-law again~ Is your sister doing well?”

“Brother-in-law, let me test you on a math question. What’s your sister’s phone number?”

“Pork Bun’s thigh hurts today, hurry and help her massage it.”

“Ah, little Pork Bun has been rejected by the toxic healer.”

“How can the toxic healer say that? It’s your fortune to be able to heal little Pork Bun. Help me touch her ass and see if it feels good.”

A peculiar expression formed on Jiang Xiao’s face and he looked at the clock hanging on the wall beside the blackboard. “It’s 6:30 AM? Why are so many people watching the live-stream? Are they just bored out of their wits?”

Several question marks popped up on the screen.

Knowing that she had gotten into trouble, she frantically said, “I’ve invited them to watch the live-stream ever since I was washing up and doing my makeup in the morning. When I feasted on pork buns just now, I got plenty of compliments and I was told to order a few more dishes. Thanks to my fans, I got to eat eight plates of side dishes.”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Impressive.

Not only can you be nicknamed as “Pork Bun”, but you can also be nicknamed as “Side Dish”.

Why don’t you just call yourself “Breakfast”…

“Did you eat too much? Does your stomach hurt?” Jiang Xiao stretched his hand out and pressed it on her stomach with finesse, seemingly not hesitating at all because of the awkwardness. Due to the fact that she had been receiving treatment from Jiang Xiao for a long time now, he had long stopped feeling awkward.

Jiang Xiao did not stop casting the ray of light and instead, he filled his hands with white light and gently rubbed Su Rou’s stomach.

“Hey, hey, hey! Your hand! Your paws! Where are you touching? Let go!”

“R-rated streamer, I’ve started following you!”

“Move the camera downwards, I can’t see where the little toxic healer is touching you.”

“Host, please put away your pretty face!”

“Please stop making nasal sounds, please cherish your live-stream.”

Su Rou’s face turned awkward and her eyes twitched while she lowered her head slightly. However, her body seemed to be disobeying her, though she knew that it was the effect of Jiang Xiao’s “Blessing”.

“My stomach… does… does not hurt,” Su Rou murmured.

“Huh? Which part of your body hurts, then?” Jiang Xiao asked while retracting his hand.

“No part of my body hurts. One of my fans saw you on the screen just now and wanted me to come and talk to you,” said Su Rou, finally recovering from the shock and turning rosy.

“Oh.” Jiang Xiao sat down and said, “I’ve already greeted them. Hurry and go back before the teacher arrives.”

Su Rou said softly, “They wanted me to ask you if you’re serious about Xia Yan.”

“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked, feeling stunned as he wondered where those words came from.

“Someone published the post of you confessing to Xia Yan daily on Weibo for eight consecutive days. You confessed to her with different words every day too,” Su Rou said smilingly.

What the heck!?!

Jiang Xiao realized that something was wrong. I confessed to Xia Yan on Weibo?

That’s impossible.

Those are… confessions that Xia Yan made to herself using my mobile phone!

“Although you deleted them later, someone managed to take screenshots before you did.” Su Rou took out her mobile phone and managed to find the photos with ease.

Jiang Xiao grabbed it and realized that Xia Yan had already deleted the posts when he exposed her plans.

Now, Jiang Xiao was finally lucky enough to see how Xia Yan had posed as him and confessed to herself.

Oh my god…

Jiang Xiao was distressed.

Okay.

He was feeling sad for himself.

“Is this real?” Su Rou asked.

“This is really nonsense, who photoshopped this?” Jiang Xiao looked at the lens of the mobile phone and continued with a solemn expression, “If you have what it takes, why don’t you go out and sit for an interview for a movie effects specialist instead of staying at home and spreading rumors? The movies that China produces need your saving.”

Dong-dong…

Ye Lanxiang strutted into the room with a rhythmic pace and slapped a stack of papers against the table.

“Two of you, come up and distribute the papers. Read them early and improve your math.” Ye Lanxiang specially glanced at Jiang Xiao and said, “Jiang Xiaopi, keep it up.”

Jiang Xiao hurried forward to pick up the paper and said with a smile, “I will work hard, I think I have fallen in love with math. She makes me crazy and intoxicated. She’s allowed me to find the meaning of life.”

All of a sudden, everyone started jeering at Jiang Xiao. If it weren’t for the fact that the teacher was standing on the podium, the students would have thrown all their books, papers, and pens at him.

In the back row, the drowsy and sleepy Xia Yan shivered like a sick husky.

She stared at Jiang Xiao with confusion while he distributed the papers. Why did that sentence sound so familiar?

Strange, it seems like I’ve seen it somewhere.

From afar, Xia Yan noticed that Jiang Xiao was walking towards her with a set of papers.

Xia Yan was jolted awake and thought, If I change “Math” in Jiang Xiaopi’s sentence to “Sis Xia Yan”, wouldn’t it be the same as the sentence that I published on Weibo back then?

Jiang Xiao smacked the papers against Xia Yan’s table and glared at her.

Xia Yan’s smile was extremely awkward. At this moment, Han Jiangxue was seated right beside her.

Xia Yan’s ever-proud and arrogant face was finally graced with a look of agony. Staring at him pleadingly, she whispered, “Xiaopi, don’t be rash. Let’s talk in private, let’s discuss in private…”
