Chapter 1386: Chapter 1388 Always Wandering Chapter 1386: Chapter 1388 Always Wandering Although ng Xinian felt that Chiang Xiaoxiao knew the difference between right and wrong and would protect her secrets well in front of others, this was her first ti getting drunk, and it was better to be cautious.
So he even wanted to avoid Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, just in case the girl got too drunk and let sothing slip.
Chiang Songhai said, “It’s quite a walk, how about we flag down a cab together?” He is usually very frugal. The walk would only take about twenty minutes, and they would normally never consider taking a taxi, but for Chiang Xiao, Chiang Songhai didn’t want to be too thrifty.
He was also worried that carrying her for more than twenty minutes would be too tiring for ng Xinian.
Taking a taxi would be more troubleso too, with a taxi driver present.
ng Xinian shook his head, “It’s okay, you go ahead, I’ll carry her.”
At this ti, Chiang Xiao leaned on his shoulder, waved her hands at them with a drunken gesture.
“Grandpa, grandma, take care! Goodbye, grandpa, grandma! Be careful on the road!”
“Ah! Ah! We got it,” Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao quickly responded.
“Grandma, hurry ho and I’ll cook so sobering soup for you.”
ng Xinian was sowhat amused.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao went ahead, and ng Xinian slowly walked back along the road with Chiang Xiao on his back.
Chiang Xiao leaned on his back, and began to hum a song softly.
“Do not ask where I co from, my hotown is far away, why wander, wander far away…”
This song was considered a very old one for Chiang Xiao in her previous life, but it was actually popular these past two years. ng Xinian had heard it too.
However, he had never heard Chiang Xiao sing before.
Although Chiang Xiao’s singing was soft, ng Xinian felt there was a sense of vicissitudes in her voice.
This sense of vicissitudes was very different from her age and appearance, making ng Xinian feel a bit strange. In her singing, he was reminded of the first or second ti he t Chiang Xiao.
The first ti was just watching her from afar, observing how she calmly and logically re-enacted a “case scenario,” and the second ti he brought her into that mission. At that ti, he felt her behavior was totally unbecoming of her age, very mature and steady.
Although later he reflected on himself, feeling that it was wrong to bring a young girl into such a task, his heart still felt fortunate for that ti, or he would have missed her.
If it weren’t for that action, would they ever have crossed paths in life?
After all, even though they were betrothed as childhood sweethearts, he had always resisted it.
“For the birds that soar in the sky, for the gently flowing streams in the mountains, for the prairies in dreams, wander far away…”
Chiang Xiao continued singing.
ng Xinian truly did not expect her to get so drunk from such a little alcohol. But later, he glanced at the bottle, fifty-three percent…
That bottle of alcohol had been brought by Liu Guoying himself.
This was definitely a teacher exploiting a student’s vulnerability.
But did this count as a way for him to see a completely different side of Chiang Xiao?
“Thinking of wandering?” he asked softly.
The dinner had taken quite a long ti, starting at seven o’clock and now it was probably about nine-thirty.
There were hardly any pedestrians on the street.
Fortunately, Chiang Xiao’s singing was pleasant, and it wasn’t loud, but gently sung, blending with the cool night breeze, creating a unique flavor.
But where did her sense of vicissitudes spring from?
“It’s not about wanting to wander, but being forever in wanderlust,” Chiang Xiao replied seriously, lying on his shoulder and stopping her singing.
It was being forever in wanderlust.
ng Xinian’s heart skipped a beat.
