Chapter 106: Midnight Crisis
Yan Xiao laughed teasingly and said, "What can I do when Han Yi keeps such a tight watch? Look, just a little while after not seeing her, he has already gone looking for her."
Bai Kairui stared at Yan Xiao incredulously, "...Keep your voice down." Are you trying to get us killed? I want to live, what if he takes it out on me...
Xiao Jian chuckled and said nonchalantly, "He’s just itching for some action; he needs to find something to fuss about every few days."
Yan Xiao was not pleased and put down his bowl, speaking with righteous indignation, "How can you say I’m just itching for action? Don’t you think Jiaojiao is being controlled too much? Don’t you have any sympathy? Think about what you were like at seventeen or eighteen, would you be comfortable if someone controlled every aspect of your life? As Jiaojiao’s close and good older brother, it’s my duty to help her grow up healthy and proper—"
Xiao Jian snorted, "You just want to be controlled by Han Yi, but Han Yi can’t be bothered with you. It’s a case of mutual consent between the two of them, why are you exerting yourself, just eat your noodles."
Bai Kairui looked around and played peacemaker, "You both make sense, let’s eat our noodles, Han Yi and Jiaojiao are coming back, let’s stop talking about it."
Looking up, sure enough, he saw Han Yi leading Han Jiaojiao back.
Han Jiaojiao followed behind Han Yi, looking very happy, her face beaming with smiles. She bounced over, picked up her bowl of noodles, and started eating. She couldn’t stop smiling even while eating.
Yan Xiao was almost done eating and seeing her smug little face, teased, "Yo—what’s making you so happy? Share it so we can all be happy too."
At that, Han Jiaojiao smiled mysteriously, thinking about revealing her progress with her "Ability" but held back as the words reached her lips. She thought, if she mentioned her minor water-absorbing ability, Yan Xiao would surely tease her again. It would be better to practice more, become even more impressive, and then reveal it for a big surprise.
