Chapter 1565: Chapter 1567: Better to Improve Oneself than to be Improved by Others
Chiang Xiao waved her fist at them arrogantly and said, “Train harder, train harder! Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll lose embarrassingly!”
“Sister-in-law, pride cos before a fall!” The group of Supervisor Guards burst into laughter, and soone shouted out.
Chiang Xiao nodded with a asure of seriousness, “Hmm, that’s actually a good point.”
As they were all laughing, she coughed, then said earnestly, “But this isn’t pride, it’s confidence! So I won’t fall behind!”
They erupted into laughter again.
Zhao Xin chid in from the side, “Sister-in-law, you’re becoming more and more like our Great Officer! Both of you have such thick skin!”
Chiang Xiao shot him a glance and imdiately shouted, “Brother Xinian! Zhao Xin said you’re thick-skinned!”
Zhao Xin: “…” He bolted.
The others burst into laughter once more.
Chiang Xiao couldn’t stop smiling either.
Zhao Erleng, perpetually saying or doing the wrong thing, had been punished by ng Xinian so many tis that he was now genuinely terrified of him.
Wang Yi watched as Chiang Xiao navigated the Alliance District with such ease and comfort, nudging her enviously while lowering her voice, “Xiao Chiang, I really envy you.”
Chiang Xiao laughed as she asked, “What do you envy about ?”
“Your personality! You can talk and joke freely with them. I just can’t. Every ti I see them, I feel a bit nervous. I only respect and admire them but I don’t dare to joke around.”
Chiang Xiao glanced at her and thought for a mont—she could understand Wang Yi.
Wang Yi’s family was also politically involved, but she grew up close to her uncle, Director Jin of the art academy. Later, she studied literature and entered the art academy, so you could say she belonged to the arts and culture circle.
For Wang Yi, she was most familiar with literati and painters—gentle, scholarly types—which were completely different from the imposing Supervisor Guards.
She had her eye on Chen Yin, perhaps because he too carried that cultured and refined deanor.
In the past, Wang Yi had been a little intimidated by ng Xinian as well, but recently, as their bond grew closer, she had seen more of his gentle side toward her, and the fearful feeling had faded.
So, asking Wang Yi to find a Supervisor Guard as a partner might really not be realistic.
Although Chiang Xiao felt Chen Yin wasn’t a good match for Wang Yi, still, “You are not a fish; how can you know the joy of fish?”
So people don’t necessarily need to marry soone who loves them deeply—they might prefer to marry soone they deeply love.
Understanding this, Chiang Xiao patted Wang Yi’s shoulder and decided to let Wang Yi make her own decisions about relationships and let things take their natural course.
Everything that needed saying had already been said.
Still, she added, “Wang Yi, I think, no matter the situation, as long as we’re confident and ntally strong enough, whoever we face, whatever choice we make, and whatever outco we encounter—we won’t suffer too much and we’ll overco the challenges.”
Wang Yi seed thoughtful.
“Life is just a journey of cultivation—being cultivated by others is no match for self-cultivation.” Chiang Xiao winked at Wang Yi.
Self-cultivation?
“Xiao Chiang, you’re not even eighteen yet, how can you talk like such an old soul?” Wang Yi mused for a mont before bursting into laughter.
Chiang Xiao glared at her, “Wang Yi, are you indirectly implying I’m old now?”
“No, you’re just precocious!”
“Who said so? I’m still an innocent, adorable, intelligent, and beautiful teenage girl!”
The two laughed heartily together.
Just then, a Jeep drove into the camp gates. Sitting in the passenger seat was a handso young man dressed in a Supervisor Guard uniform.
