Today, next to him was not just a girl, but a little girl, and moreover, a beautiful little girl!
She looked to be only about fourteen or fifteen.
This was surely as unexpected as the sun rising from the west.
In this period, Chiang Xiao had sprouted up quickly, and with her inherently mature core, she no longer looked like a thirteen-year-old girl, but rather appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen.
When Meng Xinian saw Chiang Xiao take two steps back and stand behind, he extended his hand backwards and pulled her to the front.
"Little, call him Brother Kuang."
It wasn’t Brother Yun Xian.
Right, he had absolutely no wish for her to follow his calling in this regard.
She’d better only call him Brother Xinian and not address others that way. He clearly remembered her having a Yong Cong Brother, a Brother Lin Zi, and so on.
Calling people by their names in such a manner seemed too intimate.
Like calling Hu Xibing, Brother Hu, that was more acceptable. Hence, Meng Xinian subtly directed her to call him Brother Kuang instead.
However, neither Kuang Yunxian nor Chiang Xiao anticipated his petty thoughts on the matter.
"Brother Kuang, hello, my name is Chiang Xiao."
Chiang Xiao extended her hand.
This was a piece of etiquette she had learned as she grew up; what child knows about shaking hands?
So when Kuang Yunxian saw it, he still felt a bit surprised and immediately reached out his hand with a smile, ready to shake hers.
But before their hands could touch, another hand reached out from the side, grabbed Kuang Yunxian, and pulled him aside.
Chiang Xiao’s hand awkwardly hung in the air, and she couldn’t help but glare at Meng Xinian.
Hey, Tyrant Meng, do you have any manners at all? Huh?
"Xinian, do you have something you need?" Kuang Yunxian, noticing Chiang Xiao glaring at Meng Xinian, felt even more surprised. Their relationship seemed rather unusual.
"Yeah, a little matter, just a small favor for you. We want to go to your university library, could you lend us your library card?"
"Sure. When do you want to go?"
Kuang Yunxian apologized with a hint of regret, "I can’t do it right now, my ID is all at home, and I’m tied up with something over here, can’t get away. Are you in a hurry? If not, wait for me, it might be about an hour."
He hadn’t yet asked Chiang Xiao who she was to him, where he had picked up this little sister? Seeing Meng Xinian wasn’t offering any clear introduction, he decided not to ask.
When had Meng Xinian ever thought about going to the library to read? Knowing him all these years, his eyes were only on training and missions, guns and cars.
So, the person interested in reading books was this little girl named Chiang Xiao, wasn’t it?
It was truly surprising.
Meng Xinian looked towards Chiang Xiao.
He naturally didn’t mind, but he hadn’t yet asked Chiang Xiao whether she was in a hurry or what material she wanted to look up in the library.
Chiang Xiao had come to the city this time with the hope of finding a way to get into M City University’s library, but if that wasn’t possible, she was prepared to search bookstores instead, never fixated on success. Now that there was a solution, she wasn’t concerned about waiting an hour.
"Not in a hurry. Thank you, Brother Kuang."
"Don’t mention it, it’s a trivial matter," Kuang Yunxian said with a light smile.
"Alright then, see you in an hour," Meng Xinian said, looking at Chiang Xiao. "Do you want to go out for a stroll first?"
What could one possibly do in an hour?
Chiang Xiao shook her head, "Let’s just go upstairs."
As it turned out, when they went upstairs together, they found that the room Kuang Yunxian was headed to was right across from Chiang Xiao’s room.
