Jiang Xiao's friends and dorm mates gathered, making for a lively atmosphere. Xie Landi, invited by Jin Lei, was also present, showing signs of emotional recovery. As Jiang Xiao prepared to serve food, a strikingly handsome young man named Wei Yixi arrived, calling out to her. Jiang Xiao recognized him from a previous phone call and was surprised by his appearance, as Meng Xinian hadn't mentioned inviting him.

"I’m Wei Yixi."

Seeing Jiang Xiao looking at him but not saying anything for the moment, Wei Yixi thought she didn’t know who he was, so he smiled slightly and introduced himself.

Even though the iron gate to the yard wasn’t locked, Jiang Xiao still wouldn’t let him just push it open and come in by himself.

She quickly walked over, pulled the gate open, and stepped aside.

"Please come in, Young Alliance Official Wei."

Although she recognized right away that it was Wei Yixi, he really was more handsome than she’d imagined.

He really did look like a Desirable Male Partner of the Alliance.

"Just call me Wei Yixi."

As Wei Yixi walked in, he also gave Jiang Xiao a glance.

If beauty is like a flower, then Jiang Xiao is definitely that one blossom in the bunch that draws the eye the most.

And she really is exactly his favorite type.

If there were no Meng Xinian, he might really have made a move.

But the problem is, there is Meng Xinian.

So naturally he wouldn’t let himself have any thoughts about Jiang Xiao that he shouldn’t.

"Brother Xinian!"

Jiang Xiao called out toward the house.

Meng Xinian was still inside, chatting with the elders at that table. She’d already talked to him today, said he should sit at the inner table while she stayed at the one outside.

After all, her roommates were out here; with Meng Xinian around, they all got a bit uncomfortable.

Even Wang Yi, who knew him so well—she was still a bit stiff in front of Tyrant Meng and talked a lot less.

Wang Yi had told her that the iron-blooded coldness on Meng Xinian made them subconsciously clam up, not daring to joke around freely.

When Jiang Xiao was beside them it was still okay, but if she wasn’t there, Wang Yi really felt a bit pressured in front of Meng Xinian.

After calling out, Jiang Xiao turned to Wei Yixi and said, "You go inside and sit with Brother Xinian and them, okay? They’re going to have a bit of alcohol today. Our table is just drinking orange soda."

Jiang Xiao didn’t politely ask whether he’d eaten or not; she just arranged it directly, and that made Wei Yixi feel very warmed.

"I think I’ll sit at your table. I’m still under strict orders not to drink," he said, and walked over.

Jiang Xiao froze for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant.

He must still be injured.

Meng Xinian had already come out quickly; seeing Wei Yixi, he raised his brows and swung a fist into his shoulder.

"What are you doing here? Not staying home lying low like an injured man?"

"It’s not like I’m hurt so bad I can’t walk. With my clothes on, who can tell I’m an injured man?" Wei Yixi looked at him, then at Jiang Xiao, chuckled, and said, "You’re having a welcome-and-dusting-off feast? Not giving me a wash while you’re at it?"

"Got some nerve, huh? Your family’s not exactly poor—still have to come freeload at my place?"

Standing to the side listening to the two of them, Jiang Xiao could tell right away that their relationship was very good.

Looks like the time they spent together in Ke Ku Li really forged a bond.

The feelings between Alliance teammates are probably the most genuine—fighting side by side, going through life and death together, being able to hand your back to the other person.

"Why not? Anyway, looks like I really do have a blessing today. I only bit into one steamed bun before I came; my stomach’s still totally empty."

"Look at you." Meng Xinian slung an arm over his shoulder. "Come on, go in. We only just got started."

"I already told Xiao Chiang I’m sitting at this table. But going in with you to say hi to everyone is fine."

As Wei Yixi spoke, he reached out and picked up the glass of soda at the empty seat at that table. "Let’s go."

Jiang Xiao glanced at the soda in his hand.

Big brother, that was hers...
