This is the most lively New Year that Chu Zihang has ever experienced.
With Xia Xian's arrival, Su Xiaoyan canceled the trip to Northern Europe that she had originally booked with some of her best friends. Although her stepfather happened to be at home on the first day of the new year due to company matters, this was still expected.
things in it.
Until the fifteenth day, neither Xia Xian nor Su Xiaoyan stayed at home as Chu Zihang expected. Instead, they went out shopping every day and went on small tours in surrounding cities. In Xia Xian's words, he hadn't had a good time shopping yet.
After passing these places, although Chu Zihang was also puzzled as to why a person who grew up here was like this, Su Xiaoyan had already volunteered to be his tour guide.
The trip of three people is actually more like a sister taking two brothers.
After applying makeup, Su Xiaoyan not only couldn't tell that she was in her forties, but her voice was as crisp and tender as a twenty-year-old girl. The most exaggerated time was when a child called her sister.
But facing Xia Xian, Chu Zihang called him uncle.
Of course, what surprised Chu Zihang the most was Xia Xian’s drinking capacity:
Su Xiaoyan likes to drink, so she didn't touch alcohol for several days without the company of her best friend. But one night when the three of them went out to play, she couldn't bear it anymore and secretly ordered a bottle to the hotel room - Chu Zi
She was not allowed to drink while Hang was there.
But I didn't expect to be caught by Chu Zihang. To be precise, Chu Zihang and Xia Xian, who had just had a midnight snack outside, bumped into the waiter who was delivering the drinks.
Su Xiaoyan thought she couldn't drink anymore, so she watched with a grimace as Chu Zihang confiscated the wine, but she didn't expect Xia Xian to come out and kill him.
"Auntie, let me drink with you!" He took the wine from Chu Zihang's hand and sat down on the sofa in Su Xiaoyan's room.
The memory after this is no longer clear, because even Chu Zihang was given several drinks, and in the end it was Xia Xian who carried him back to the room - Xia Xian was the most sober from beginning to end, as if he was drunk.
From then on, Su Xiaoyan became more and more fond of Xia Xian. What is certain is that if Xia Xian was a girl, she would have probably asked Chu Zihang to buy a diamond ring to express her love.
...
"Auntie, uncle, thank you for taking care of me during this period."
Xia Xian and Chu Zihang stood at the door of their home. The former helped Chu Zihang push a box and said with a smile.
The winter vacation is short, Norma's reminder to return to school came as promised, Xia Xian and Chu Zihang will go back to Kassel College today.
"Xiao Xia, I will definitely come here more often in the future." Su Xiaoyan felt a little reluctant to see this boy who always smiled softly and spoke pleasantly.
"Okay, Auntie." Xia Xian smiled and nodded, "As long as Auntie doesn't rush to cook, I will definitely come more often."
Su Xiaoyan was not angry when Xia Xian teased her like this.
The stepfather on the side wanted to drive them no matter what, but Chu Zihang refused. In the end, the driver Lao Shun, who was wearing sunglasses, drove the two of them.
In the car, Chu Zihang was silent for a while: "Thank you."
"What?" Xia Xian said lazily.
"This should be the happiest year my mother has lived in the past few years." Chu Zihang said, "Thank you."
"You are very lucky to have such a mother, okay? Spend more time with her in the future." Xia Xian rolled her eyes at him, "I can't really come here every year, right?"
Chu Zihang nodded: "It's not impossible."
"That's an exaggeration." Xia Xian glared, "For someone like me who can earn up to a million dollars every minute, you treat me as your companion?"
"Master, we're here." Lao Shun parked the car steadily in the drop-off area of the airport.
"Uncle Shun, you can go back directly. There is no need to help us with our luggage." Chu Zihang got out of the car and picked up the luggage. The driver and bodyguard Lao Shun, whose neck was thicker than the average head, was a little embarrassed. After all, he felt that this was a lack of service.
Xia Xian and Chu Zihang learned wisely this time and did not intend to take the ordinary boarding passage. They made a special circle and went straight to the Kassel College's private jet apron.
They didn't know if there were other Kassel students in the same city, but at least they seemed to be the only ones on today's flight, because the boarding lane was empty...
Chu Zihang suddenly stopped and looked towards the end ahead.
Xia Xian also raised his head and looked forward.
A sweet girl wearing a brown coat and a white scarf was waiting for them with a smile.
Of course, that was not the flight attendant who picked up the plane. Xia Xian felt that her face looked familiar: "Are you...?"
"おはよう." The girl bowed in a very Japanese style, "I am Shude Aki, Xiajun, do you still remember me?"
"Jiu De Aki, assistant executive officer of the execution department," Chu Zihang said calmly from the side, "she also helped preside over the 3e exam when we were admitted."
Shutoku Aki said softly "Hmm".
Xia Xian suddenly realized: "I remembered it."
"Are you waiting for us?" Chu Zihang looked at the girl with white hair and red eyes and asked.
"To be precise, I'm waiting for Xia Xian," said Shude Aki. "Sorry, although I have graduated, I think calling you 'classmates' will make me feel younger."
"Wait for me?" Xia Xian was stunned.
"Yes." Shutoku Aki said, "I'm here to pick you up. Your return to school has been postponed, but Norma should be busy processing the return of students from all over the country, and it hasn't been processed yet, so
The account status on the college’s official website has not been updated yet.”
Seeing that Xia Xian still looked confused, she paused and said, "You are one of the participants in the Kuimen Project."
Chu Zihang glanced at Xia Xian, and he reacted first, "I understand, then you can go with her, I'll go back to Kassel."
"Is it so sudden?" Xia Xian scratched his head. Although he knew that he had been informed that the plan would start in the spring, he never expected that he would be picked up on the day he returned to school.
"Some of the precautions and arrangements for this plan will have to wait until you get there." Shutoku Aki said with a smile, "Actually, it's not too early. The school board is eager for us to swim in the sub-zero temperature in winter.
, it was Professor Manns who applied for an extension for us."
Xia Xian nodded, "Let's go."
What is supposed to come will always come.
At this point, Xia Xian and Chu Zihang parted ways again and boarded different special planes. On the plane, Jiu Deyaji introduced Xia Xian to the preliminary arrangements of the Kuimen Project, "Professor Mann's application for the Monyach was approved.
, this is a warship, and the storm is like nothing in front of it, which also shows that the executive department attaches great importance to this plan."
"The planned personnel arrangement is as follows," the sweet Japanese girl handed Xia Xian a list, "but what you need to know is that you are actually a candidate, so you may not need to enter the water."
"Then what is my role...?" Xia Xian was speechless.
"Professor Mance thinks you are very good at escaping. Maybe he can give you some advice if there is any emergency. After all, you are the one who survived from Samson's mouth." She smiled.
It took Xia Xian a long time to hold back a sentence: "Okay..."
I don’t know if this guy still has the heart to open his mouth to these members of the executive department after beating Samson like that last time...
But the question that comes next is: since he didn't have to go into the water at the beginning, how could he go down and get that set of alchemy swords?!
"It seems that I still have to find a chance to go into the water... But listening to what she said, is it possible that I can only go down if they are in danger?" Xia Xian looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and murmured to himself.
"What's wrong?" Jiude Aji heard Xia Xian talking to himself and asked.
"Nothing." Xia Xian smiled, "The commissioner who is wishing you all the best... safe and smooth."
