"Xiangxiang, come back and stay here for the next few days. It's so far away, and it's such a hassle for your uncle to travel back and forth just to see you," the Alliance Leader said, looking at her with affection.
“Okay,” Xia Xiang nodded obediently. “Then I’ll go back and tell my mom and grandpa.”
"Alright, let your brother Jiuwu go with you." The alliance leader smiled, gesturing for Jiuwu to hurry up.
His "I'm rooting for you two" expression left them both speechless.
——
"How are you feeling?" After a long silence, the two waited for the driver downstairs before Xia Xiang finally spoke up, asking, "I heard I hit you pretty hard that day, are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Jiu Wu replied casually.
"The Alliance Leader is feeling much better; he looks much more energetic than before," Xia Xiang asked.
She hadn't seen the leader since the first day she returned and discussed her plan with him, but this time she looked even more energetic than before.
"Yes, it's quite good," Jiu Wu replied calmly.
"Where's Master? Didn't you say he'd be back soon? I want to go see him," Xia Xiang asked again.
"They should be back soon," Jiu Wu replied calmly.
The leader of the alliance, who was secretly watching from upstairs, sat in his wheelchair and asked Jiu Lai beside him, "Do you think they look like they're dating?"
“They didn’t talk,” Jiu Lai rolled her eyes and said, looking at the people downstairs.
"That's impossible. There's no misunderstanding anymore. Your brother, that persistent pest, hasn't been won over yet," the alliance leader said, frowning.
“Because they’re both crazy,” Jiu Lai shook his head. “Dad, you’re crazy too. Xia Xiang is only thirteen, and you actually allow her to have a relationship!”
"Hey, this shouldn't be considered puppy love," the leader disagreed. "First of all, they are both very rational people, and they are capable of bearing the consequences whether they are together or apart."
"Secondly, I understand them. If they didn't like each other, they wouldn't allow the other to cross the line. Just like that kid from the Gu family, he's been beaten so many times, but Xiangxiang doesn't even realize it."
"If it weren't for your brother's thick skin, Xiangxiang would probably only see him as a brother. Xiangxiang is really stubborn sometimes."
"Third, dating is dating. Early dating and late-life dating are both dating. As long as the relationship is positive, active, and mutually beneficial, it is just a closer friendship."
"In the end, it was actually your brother who was scared, which is why he desperately wanted to know his place in the other person's heart."
Jiu Lai: I'm impressed! You're really good at talking.
"Also, how's that rumor being handled?" the leader asked, frowning. "Xiangxiang is still a child. How upset she would be if she heard it. If she's so ashamed that she starts avoiding your brother, Jiuwu would be devastated."
"Don't worry about me handling things," Jiu Lai said impatiently.
"You're the one I'm most worried about. You're mature beyond your years and you can't make friends with people your own age. What will you do in the future?" the leader sighed.
"Uh, I'll die when I'm supposed to, don't worry about me so much." Jiu Lai lay down directly; he really hated adults who had no sense of boundaries.
Downstairs, Xia Xiang was really annoyed, wondering what he was angry about. It seemed that she needed to find a boyfriend who was emotionally stable.
She broke up with her boyfriend before the relationship even started. How sad! She needs to see a few more handsome guys to feel better.
"How many?" Jiu Wu gave her a cold, sidelong glance.
"Huh?" Xia Xiang feigned confusion, then quickly and silently erected an aura shield.
How could this person do this? How could they use mind-reading on her?
"Ha!" Jiu Wu laughed in exasperation.
"What are you angry about?" Xia Xiang asked weakly.
Jiu Wu's eyes were deep. "You can use mind-reading."
Xia Xiang: ...
"The car is here." Xia Xiang said, then opened the back seat and got in.
Jiuwu walked to the other side, opened the car door, and pulled the person out.
"Where are we going? Aren't we going back to my house?" Xia Xiang was pulled by him towards the backyard, and he told her to wait for him in front of the garage.
Jiu Wu, on the other hand, instantly teleported into the garage...
"Is it really necessary?" Xia Xiang muttered, kicking a small pebble under the flower bed.
A moment later, Jiu Wu stopped his motorcycle next to Xia Xiang and handed her a light blue helmet.
"Aren't we going home? Let's go."
"How can I ride a motorcycle while wearing a skirt?" Xia Xiang asked, taking the helmet and looking at her pleated skirt that just went past her knees.
