“I’m really glad to see you, Jiang Xiaopi, the legendary toxic healer,” Li Qingmei said smilingly while reaching her tender palm out to him.
Jiang Xiao shook her hand and asked, “Which cla.s.s do you belong to?”
“Cla.s.s 1.” Li Qingmei scanned Jiang Xiaopi from head to toe and said, “I’m not from the Awakened cla.s.s. I’m an ordinary person.”
Li Weiyi wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said softly, “No, you’re not ordinary. You are the most special in my heart.”
Li Qingmei turned her head and smiled as her eyes curved into a crescent shape. She looked absolutely beautiful.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
“If your Sis Li becomes an Awakened, your Brother Li wouldn’t be in this team,” Xia Yan explained while smacking Jiang Xiao’s wrist in a bid to get him to let go of Li Qingmei’s hand.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
She was the one who shook my hand, why am I getting smacked?
“Oh, let’s go, the dishes have all been served,” Li Qingmei said, pus.h.i.+ng Li Weiyi’s shoulder and skipping towards the private restaurant.
She was a true blue Beijiang girl, for she was rather tall and big-boned. She was at least 1.8 meters tall, but she had an extremely adorable face that made her look sweet and likable.
“I’ll tell you a secret, I’m a fan. I’ve been liking every Weibo post that you publish,” Li Qingmei said softly to Jiang Xiao as she leaned closer towards him.
Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Oh.”
“Let’s take a picture with you leaning on my leg later. My legs are just as long as that Eurasian girl’s,” Li Qingmei said, giving Jiang Xiao a shock.
This has really escalated, eh?
The netizens who have been posting negative comments on my Weibo’s post are probably girls like Li Qingmei.
Women really love to compete.
They should… step up!
“Let’s add each other on WeChat later. From now on, you must heal my Weiyi frequently in the future,” Li Qingmei said smilingly.
Jiang Xiao finally knew that eyes could smile.
She looks so sweet.
Jiang Xiao remained still and thought, All women are like pig trotters. Han Jiangxue is the only beautiful one.
Girls who are attached, go away. Long live Han Jiangxue!
Li Qingmei grabbed Li Weiyi’s arm and said, “This kid is quite cute, much better than that Gao Junwei.”
Li Weiyi nodded and said, “He’s a very strong Medical Awakened. Our team does not lack any attackers, and the addition of a member like him has indeed increased our team’s upper limit.”
Li Qingmei reached out and grabbed Li Weiyi’s wavy hair before saying, “You guys better strive for it. I have to study hard and try to get into the same university as you guys. We’ll be able to hang out with each other for another four years. By the way, which university are they thinking of enrolling in?”
“We’ll talk about that in the future,” said Li Weiyi avoided talking about it because it was a sensitive topic. He put an arm around Li Qingmei’s shoulder and strode into the room quickly.
Only a culinary expert can open a private restaurant.
The delectable spread that consisted of fish and meat made Jiang Xiao really happy.
Li Qingmei watched as Jiang Xiao wolfed down some meat, after which she lost her urge to ask him to look out for Li Weiyi. She thought, Why does it seem like Li Weiyi should be the one taking care of this glutton instead?
They added each other on WeChat and Weibo. The smiley girl’s internet moniker was “Qingmei” and Jiang Xiao again figured something out.
He finally knew who “59 Tulong Street” was. It turns out that it was Li Weiyi’s moniker. It was no wonder he dared to mock Xia Yan in Jiang Xiao’s Weibo.
Jiang Xiao even especially looked at the GPS map on his mobile phone and discovered that they were in a famous church that was regarded as a landmark in Jiangbin City. However, he was clueless about what Li Weiyi had to do with this church.
After a happy meal, Jiang Xiao soon managed to mix in and mingle with the crowd and agreed to heal Li Weiyi well after much persuasion by Li Qingmei.
When lunch ended, Li Qingmei actually requested that Jiang Xiao take a photo of himself leaning against her legs.
Her boyfriend, Li Weiyi, was the person who took the photo.
Li Weiyi did not show any signs of jealousy at all, though Jiang Xiao was unsure if it was because of their close relations.h.i.+p as childhood sweethearts or because Li Weiyi trusted her a lot.
After getting the photo, Li Qingmei happily uploaded it and bragged about it on Weibo, making Jiang Xiao feel absolutely dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiao did not feel happy at all, because he was clearly showing off his joy when he took a photo with Yi Lianna previously.
However, Jiang Xiao felt like he was purely a tool now, which was being used by Li Qingmei to show off her long legs.
How do I explain it…
Hmm…
Not too bad.
Through Xia Yan, Jiang Xiao learned that Li Qingmei’s parents were civil servants. Her father was an instructor in a police station in Jiangbin City while her mother worked in the Jiangbin City People’s Procuratorate. Although they were ordinary people, they had a certain social status.
Li Weiyi’s mother and Li Qingmei’s mother were colleagues, but Li Weiyi’s father was an Awakened who also served in the special forces.
When introducing himself, Li Weiyi did it briefly without giving a detailed explanation.
Lin LI reckoned that Li Weiyi’s father worked for a secret force of the country, just like Han Jiangxue’s parents. It would be better for those from such professions to keep a low profile.
The dishes were delicious and the guests and hosts enjoyed them.
Jiang Xiao and his team members returned to school and rushed into the cla.s.s before the bell rang.
As soon as Jiang Xiao stepped foot into the cla.s.sroom, he felt someone tugging the back of his collar.
It wasn’t forceful, but he felt a little suffocated.
Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned around to see that someone was squinting at him.
The man seemed to be about 28 or 29 years old and his black hair was center-parted, making him look scholarly.
The slender man was clad in a sapphire blue suit and a pair of gold-rimmed gla.s.ses that sat perfectly on his high nose bridge, appearing extremely elegant. He looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile and grabbed Jiang Xiao by the collar while dragging him out of the cla.s.sroom.
“I heard that we have a new impressive cla.s.smate who has directly joined the team of School Tyrants. I’d like to see who you are,” he said smilingly with a squint.
Jiang Xiao scanned him from head to toe and asked, “You are?”
“I’m the teacher of your practical cla.s.s, Hai Tianqing,” he said while staring at Jiang Xiao smilingly.
Hai Tianqing raised his left hand and stared at his expensive watch before saying, “There’s still another minute to go before the bell rings. I’ve been waiting for you here for 19 minutes.”
Huh?
Waiting for me?
Jiang Xiao felt slightly awkward. After all, it wasn’t right to make his teacher wait for so long.
However, they did not make any agreements with each other and Jiang Xiao had no idea that someone was waiting for him too. Hence, Jiang Xiao was not at fault.
Hai Tianqing definitely had an advantage since he was the teacher. As a student, Jiang Xiao had no idea how to answer.
Hai Tianqing scanned Jiang Xiao from head to toe and slowly opened his eyes which glistened beneath the lens of his gla.s.ses.
Jiang Xiao felt a cold chill down his spine and he casually threw out a “Bell”. In the cla.s.s, a ray of medical light suddenly shuttled and intertwined to form a net while a clear and sweet bell rang.
Ring-ring-ring…
“The alarm has rung. Teacher, it’s time for cla.s.s!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed frantically as he turned around and scurried into the cla.s.sroom.
“Jiang Xiaopi…” Hai Tianqing murmured gently while entering the cla.s.sroom with a smirk.
