Chapter 435: Chapter 401 Bai Yi Enters Kaidan

"Fine, just give me Shi Shi back."

[Impossible, the Peach Wood Sword isn’t worth much]

After some haggling, Kaidan finally returned the Peach Wood Sword to Jiang Xiao.

Clearly, it couldn’t overstep the mark too much; it had to follow the rules, too.

┏(＾0＾)┛ "Bye-bye!"

Happily waving goodbye, Jiang Xiao went back to his room.

Uh...

Why did the weather suddenly cool down?

The chill on his back was intense; turning around, there were Sun Wei, Bai Yi, and Mu Xitang right behind him.

The former was looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"Jeez, how was that? Cute enough for your little junior? How does it feel to be getting love letters?"

"Cough, actually, it wasn’t that great; I felt a bit guilty inside. How should I put it? It was only moderately thrilling; truly, it was mainly seeing Wang Qiang and the others looking on enviously that made me feel..."

emm...

Why is it getting colder?

Sun Wei’s forehead twitched; this kid really couldn’t distinguish praise from criticism, still carefully appreciating and reflecting?

"Right, get me something to eat. I’ve been howling all day, only eating snacks from the school store—stuff even the worst cafeteria dishes wouldn’t look at."

Jiang Xiao lay back in his computer chair, still in contemplation.

"What’s so good about those snacks? Ate them for two days and my stomach was all acid reflux; Xi Tang and Bai Yi even got addicted?"

Speaking of the two minis, Jiang Xiao was amazed to find that their figures had slimmed down.

"Yo? Slimmed down so quickly? Come here, let me pinch and see if it was your mom who helped you slim down using some shady means?"

Mu Xitang and Bai Yi kept their heads down and fiddled with their sleeves, nodding in acknowledgment that it was Sun Wei who had helped them regain their shape.

"What’s wrong? You two seem a bit unhappy. Did something sad happen?"

Mu Xitang and Bai Yi looked at each other, nodded, then simultaneously shook their heads.

Dad is still the same as ever, completely clueless.

Mom’s eyes are practically shooting fire, and he’s still oblivious...

"No food, we’ve already eaten."

After saying this, Sun Wei picked up one of the minis in each arm and pinched them out.

"Hey? Leave one for me to play with tonight."

As Jiang Xiao pleaded, Sun Wei turned a deaf ear and quickened her pace.

I’m done~

So tired, and now I have to go out and find my own food.

"Uh, sorry Xiaozai, today’s meals are all served out, maybe you can come eat tomorrow?"

The cafeteria auntie said apologetically.

Jiang Xiao: "?"

If I could come eat tomorrow, why would I be here now?

"Oh, the stuff in the vending machine is sold out, and we’ll restock the day after tomorrow."

Even the vending machine at Qingshan Mental Hospital was empty.

Was he being targeted maliciously?

It wasn’t until dark that he hadn’t managed to scrounge even a bite of food.

Even the dinner was properly rationed; he surely couldn’t start snatching meals from the elderly, could he?

Jiang Xiao muttered to himself after a fruitless walk.

He thought about ordering takeout.

But despairingly realized he didn’t even have his own SIM card...

Should he go online and get one with unlimited data and no monthly fee...

Forget it, Jiang Xiao shook his head. If there’s no sponsorship, why should he promote it?

’Dong, dong, dong~’

Just when he was settling in to rough it out for the night, someone knocked on his door.

"Dad?"

"Come in."

Wow, Little Bai has even learned to knock on doors?

Before, she never had such polite behavior.

"Daddy, this is the cake I sneaked in for you."

Mu’s cake, the kind with a filling too.

"Can I, can I play on the computer?"

So that was her real motive for being so obliging, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Alright, go ahead~"

A little while later, the door was knocked on again, a loud ’thud thud thud.’

Outside was Mu Xitang, a step late. She too brought snacks, a whole bag of Good Friend snacks.

But before she could say anything, she noticed Bai Yi, who was eagerly playing games on the computer.

"Wow, Little Bai! We agreed to come together, and you took the computer all for yourself!"

"Hmph, like I don’t know you? Aren’t you also sneaking around behind my back? If I hadn’t anticipated this, I would be the one watching now."

"Humph!" Annoyed, she threw the Daliyuan snack at Jiang Xiao: "Let’s play Forest Fire and Ice People, come on, together!"

emm...

Not even pretending anymore, huh?

Peeling off the Daliyuan snack that was thrown onto his face, indeed, the two fundamentally hadn’t changed at all.

They had just learned that to achieve their goals, they could pretend to be good kids.

’Thud thud thud~’

Who else is there?

Mu Xitang and Bai Yi were startled for a moment and then frantically began looking for places to hide.

Jiang Xiao, obviously unbothered, directly went to open the front door.

This time it was Sun Wei, holding a lunch box.

Just like Mu Xitang, as the door opened, her gaze was immediately caught by the two little girls inside with fearful expressions on their faces.

"You... are playing games?! Line up and stand straight in front of me!"

After scolding the two little ones, Sun Wei immediately turned to scold the bigger one.

"Jiang Xiao! You actually let such young children play computer games?!"

.....

"So, you want me to take one?"

After knowing Sun Wei’s purpose, Jiang Xiao’s face looked terrible.

"What’s the matter? Why do I have to take one alone? You take one inside, and I’ll take one outside, just perfect."

Sun Wei’s words... were simply impeccable.

But they were met with fierce opposition from Jiang Xiao.

"Absolutely not, do you know how dangerous it is inside Kaidan?"

Sun Wei nodded, signifying that they were originally from the world of Kaidan, naturally understanding more than Jiang Xiao.

"That’s why I can’t take them! What if they meet bad people? You must know, in these times, a good person like me is bullied everywhere."

Sun Wei: ....

She wanted to say that it was precisely because Jiang Xiao is trouble incarnate, which is why she insisted on Jiang Xiao taking one of them inside.

Honestly, she had binge-watched Jiang Xiao’s past "brilliant maneuvers" all night yesterday.

How should she put it? She really couldn’t understand; that man on the screen could hardly be considered a person...

"Let me be frank with you, taking one with me can achieve at most a 99% success rate, rounding up, isn’t that akin to sending them to their death?"

Good news: Jiang Xiao was quoting classics and spoke confidently.

Bad news: Sun Wei hadn’t listened to a single word.

"Just pick one yourself, I can only take one anyway."

The two, meekly agreeing as "ones", both exhibited a strong desire.

They belong to a performative personality type; they really want to fiercely showcase themselves to the whole world.

"Xi Tang already went, it’s my turn now!"

Bai Yi raised her hand high, fearing she couldn’t compete with Mu Xitang.

"Alright, that’s settled then."

With those words, Sun Wei picked up the sullen-faced Mu Xitang and walked away, leaving Little Bai alone with Jiang Xiao.

"You better give Little Bai some pointers beforehand if there’s anything she needs to know."
