Chapter 18 Loaded Kilometers
Chapter 18 Loaded Kilometers
Su Ming hailed a taxi at the school gate and went home. What happened inside the school was none of his concern.
"This has...not a good impact, is it?" The homeroom teacher of Class 4 finally managed to utter this sentence after a long while.
Lin Tian has a cold today and is resting. I wonder how he would feel if he knew that two people from his class were fighting in front of so many big shots.
The bigwigs from out of town all turned their gazes toward one person in the crowd.
The Han family is the most prominent family in Zhoucheng, so naturally someone came. And this person was no ordinary person; his name was Han Leng, the fourth most important figure in the Han family.
He must be Han Bing's uncle, the one who supported Han Bing in pursuing Jiang Shaoxu.
At this moment, his face was as black as charcoal, and he remained silent, cold and still, but anyone could sense that he was suppressing his anger.
If Han Bing loses face, then he loses face, and he loses face for the Han family.
Coldness burned on his face. Everyone present was a big shot, and the Magic Association Hunter Alliance was a global organization.
Even if it's just a branch, it's no less impressive than the Han family's.
If it were an ordinary person or a minor mage, they could be silenced by using the Han family's influence.
However, most of these people are not afraid of the Han family, so they cannot be silenced. This matter will surely become the topic of conversation among the people of Zhoucheng for some time after dinner.
The cold weather already gave me a vivid picture of my elder brother's fury.
"Su Ming, this is the kid." Han Leng said coldly, then waved his hand and left.
There were too many eyes around, and Han Leng couldn't afford to lose face.
……
Nothing else happened along the way, and Jiang Shaoxu stayed obediently in Su Ming's arms.
It's warm here, and she likes it very much. Right now, she has no energy and doesn't want to do anything, which is perfect because Su Ming can help her.
"Dad, I'm home," Su Ming called out before even entering the door.
"Here he is." Su Jianguo, who was busy in the kitchen, responded quickly upon hearing his son's voice, turned off the stove, and went out to greet him.
If Su Ming had come alone, he naturally wouldn't have come out. The problem is that there's also Jiang Shaoxu. He's the only elder in the family. If the child's mother were still alive, he wouldn't have needed to come.
Su Jianguo felt a little disappointed thinking about Su Ming's mother, but he quickly composed himself, put on a smile, and opened the door.
"Dad!" Su Ming shouted.
"Alright, alright, I heard you, she..." Su Jianguo pointed to Jiang Shaoxu in his arms, his eyes asking what was going on.
Su Ming grinned, "It's alright. The school has a magic casting component, right? Xiao Xu'er is a little weak after casting magic and needs to rest."
Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo stepped aside and quickly said, "Then hurry up, let me take you to your room to rest for a while. Dinner won't be ready for a while."
It's only 3 PM now. Su Jianguo spent a lot of money buying groceries. Some of them are quite troublesome to prepare, so he started preparing them several hours in advance, hoping that Su Ming could eat them as soon as he returned.
"You get some sleep first, I'll go help you," Su Ming whispered in Jiang Shaoxu's ear as he tucked her in.
"No~" Jiang Shaoxu whimpered, grabbing Su Ming's hand, "Don't go."
"Okay, okay, I won't leave." Su Ming patted Jiang Shaoxu's fair hand, trying to pull it away but found it was held tightly and he couldn't succeed.
"Don't go."
Jiang Shaoxu closed her eyes, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her fingers trembled slightly, as if she had a bad dream.
"Xiao Ming, don't come down and bother yourself. Just stay up here and keep me company," Su Jianguo called from below. He knew Su Ming's personality; he knew he would definitely come down.
"Understood," Su Ming shouted, making sure Su Jianguo could hear him.
Jiang Shaoxu held his hand, but couldn't even get him to put on a stool; squatting was too tiring.
Ring ring ring...
Xiaoqing suddenly ran out, wandering around here and there.
It's good to be here.
Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he called out, "Xiao Qing, bring me a stool. Yes, this is it. Bring this to me."
A whirlwind lifted the stool from the ground and placed it next to Su Ming.
Su Ming sat on the stool and found that he had to bend over to make sure he didn't let go.
Ugh, this is even worse than before.
Su Ming apologized to Jiang Shaoxu in his heart.
Then he turned around and lay down on the bed.
Su Ming's bed is very large; two people can lie down comfortably without any problem.
After Su Ming lay down, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly turned around and wrapped her arms around him.
Su Ming dared not make any unnecessary movements, even though his heart was surging with excitement.
He was worried that Jiang Shaoxu would kill him once she woke up.
He just wanted to sleep as soon as he lay down in bed; in fact, he hadn't slept in a long time.
I've always replaced sleep with meditation, and over time I've developed heavy dark circles under my eyes.
It's not summer yet, the weather is cool, and it's around 3 pm, which is really the time when people's energy is at its lowest.
This is when I feel most sleepy.
Su Ming slowly closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was Jiang Shaoxu who woke him up.
At this moment, Jiang Shaoxu had regained her energy, and her magical power had almost recovered as well.
I glanced at my phone; it was almost seven o'clock. Dinner is usually around six, so it's getting a bit late.
"Did you sleep well?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a grin, sounding somewhat cunning, like a fox.
"I slept well." Su Ming nodded. He was already dressed and could go out directly.
"Let's go." Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu didn't move, Su Ming turned around and called out.
"Fine, I'll deal with you later for my sake." Jiang Shaoxu snorted coldly, grabbed Xiaoqing who was studying writing on the table, and walked out.
Su Jianguo was reading the newspaper in the living room when he saw the two of them come out and said with a smile, "You're downstairs. I'll go heat up the food now."
Su Jianguo put down the newspaper and started working. It was already finished, but Su Ming was sleeping, so Su Jianguo simply let him sleep a little longer.
At the dinner table, the group chatted about everyday things, and the three of them were relaxed and laughed happily.
After finishing the meal, Su Ming wanted to help clean up the mess, but Su Jianguo chased him away.
"Go away, we don't need you here."
After being driven away, Su Ming could only come outside. It was already dark, and the surrounding shops were all lit up, making it no different from daytime.
"Would you like me to take you home?" Su Ming asked politely as he saw Jiang Shaoxu standing outside the door looking at the moon.
Jiang Shaoxu's eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of something very funny.
Jiang Shaoxu's body went limp, and she said sweetly, "Okay, Brother Xiaoming, can you carry me back?"
Uh……
I have a bad feeling.
"Then I'll take a taxi." Su Ming took out his phone, but Jiang Shaoxu snatched it away.
"I get carsick, can Brother Xiaoming carry me back, just like when we came?" Jiang Shaoxu blinked and made what she thought was a very reasonable request.
"Wait, let me think." Su Ming interrupted Jiang Shaoxu, gesturing in the air, "Your home and my home, it seems like we're separated by more than ten kilometers."
"I think so."
"You expect me to carry you back over ten kilometers?"
"Can't we?" Jiang Shaoxu said weakly.
She glanced at him and quickly looked away, seemingly afraid of Su Ming.
Su Mingyi refused firmly, "Of course not."
More than ten kilometers? Are you kidding me? He'd be exhausted from walking like that. Besides, Jiang Shaoxu would have to be carried like a princess by him. He wouldn't be able to walk a single step while carrying such a heavy load.
"Is that so?" Jiang Shaoxu snorted coldly, her voice turning icy. "Don't give me that. Did you think it was so easy for me to take advantage of you?"
"You have to leave today, whether you like it or not."
Jiang Shaoxu stared at Su Ming, her eyes seemingly glistening with tears.
Su Ming looked at her, his expression calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
"Fine, fine, it's my bad luck." After staring at each other for a while, Su Ming gave in.
Let's go then, it's only a dozen kilometers. He's a magician now, it's no big deal for a magician.
"Yay!" Jiang Shaoxu jumped up happily, hopping and skipping around Su Ming, just like Xiao Qing.
Su Ming rubbed his forehead and called out to Su Jianguo, who was busy inside the house, "Dad, I've taken Jiang Shaoxu home."
"Won't you stay a little longer?"
"It's getting late, you don't need to come out to see me off, I can do it for you."
Su Ming looked at Jiang Shaoxu speechlessly, then reached out his hand. She smiled happily and said, "Come on up."
"Yay!" Jiang Shaoxu excitedly pumped her fist and then jumped up. Su Ming stepped forward and caught her steadily.
"Can't you be normal for once? What if I can't catch it?" Su Ming was a little angry. He definitely couldn't have caught it with his previous strength. He only gained this power after becoming a magician.
"No, you'll definitely catch it," Jiang Shaoxu said confidently, a confidence that even Su Ming himself lacked.
"Let's go." Jiang Shaoxu adjusted her body to make herself more comfortable, put her hand around Su Ming's neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Let's go."
