Chapter 1476: Chapter 1478: Already Known

"This car is borrowed, and I’m not quite used to driving it, so I have to drive slowly. But we’re not in a hurry, right?" Yun Xian asked while driving.

Chiang Xiao said, "No rush, Brother Yun Xian. I need to go home first to pick up a gift for Old Tang."

Originally, the gift was in her space, and she had planned to take it out when they were almost at their destination to avoid carrying it. However, she hadn’t expected Yun Xian to come pick her up, and now her backpack was somewhat flattened, clearly empty. The idea of using her backpack as a cover was no longer feasible, so she had to say she needed to go back home to get it.

"Mmm, alright," he replied.

Chiang Xiao glanced at Yun Xian, who was focused on driving, and suddenly didn’t know how to bring up his family issues.

"What’s wrong, is there something on my face?" Yun Xian felt her gaze on him.

Chiang Xiao shook her head and said, "No, it’s just that you don’t look very spirited, Brother Yun Xian. You have serious dark circles under your eyes."

Yun Xian chuckled and said, "Should I say you have sharp eyes, or ask if my ugliness is too obvious?"

"It’s not that you’re ugly, just lacking energy."

"Yeah, indeed lacking energy, I haven’t been sleeping well these days."

Seizing the chance, Chiang Xiao promptly continued, "Why? Is there something going on at home?"

"It’s nothing much, just that little girl Qingqing, she’s especially rowdy."

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip.

It seemed like Yun Xian still didn’t want to talk to her. However, she felt that if she didn’t speak up, maybe Kuang Qingqing or Kan Zhi would mention having met her at some point. When that happened, it might be even more awkward for Yun Xian.

"Brother Yun Xian, don’t hide it from me. I can tell there’s something bothering you, and it’s certainly not as simple as Qingqing being a handful."

"You noticed that, huh?"

"Mhm. Can you talk about it? See if I can help."

Yun Xian gave a wry smile and said, "You little rascal, I was actually pretending not to know that my uncle had looked for you."

Chiang Xiao: "..."

So, he actually knew that Kan Zhi had sought her out?

Yun Xian sighed and said, "It’s still early. How about, after we pick up the gift from your home, we find a place to sit down?"

Chiang Xiao nodded her head.

The distance from the art academy to the courtyard house was not far anyway.

They didn’t talk much during the drive.

When they arrived home, Yun Xian stayed in the car and said to Chiang Xiao, "You go ahead and get it. I won’t get out. I’ll rest here for a while, and you can take a shower and change clothes if you want, no rush."

"Alright, Brother Yun Xian, then take a quick nap here." After getting out of the car, Chiang Xiao walked a few steps, then turned back to see that Yun Xian had indeed leaned back and closed his eyes.

She returned home, quickly washed her face, changed clothes, and then took the gift for Old Tang out of her space and stuffed it into her bag before making a phone call to Xinian.

The phone rang for quite a long time, and just when she thought Xinian might not be in the office and was about to hang up, he picked up.

"This is Xinian."

"Brother Xinian."

"Little? Did you get home early today?" Xinian, looking at the time, "According to your school’s out timing and walk home, it should take at least another fifteen minutes for you to reach home."

So he was in a hurry to finish his tasks before this time, ready to call precisely around when she should arrive home.

Chiang Xiao was exasperated.

"Great Officer Meng, are you so free that you’re timing my schedule? What if I had plans and went out to play?"

He even calculated the time it would take for her to walk home.
