Chapter 293 Strawberry Candied Haws

Yannan High School, in Xiang Qingtian's office.

The sun shines through the open door and shines directly on Xiang Qingtian's face, bringing him a touch of warmth in this winter.

Fortunately, the winter in Yannan is not very cold, otherwise Xiang Qingtian would have woken up from the cold last night.

"Um......"

Xiang Qingtian murmured and slowly opened his eyes. There was a young man sitting on the sofa not far away.

It seemed that the man had arrived a long time ago, but he did not disturb Xiang Qingtian's sleep, but sat aside and waited quietly.

"woke up?"

Yin Heng smiled slightly and said softly: "I thought you would sleep a little longer."

Xiang Qingtian glanced at him, stood up, and stretched slightly tiredly.

Then, he slowly walked out of the door, opened his arms, and felt the warmth of the sun.

"I haven't had such comfortable sunshine in a long time."

Xiang Qingtian couldn't help but sigh.

Yin Heng stood behind him, nodded and said, "Indeed, it is cloudy all year round here in Yannan, and the sun is quite rare."

Xiang Qingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his back to Yin Heng, and said, "Yin Heng, you also met that guy from Su Jiang yesterday. What do you think... of him?"

"Extremely courageous, brave and resourceful."

Yin Heng paused and then said: "Besides, I...can't see through him."

"This person acts without any rules. He seems to do things based on his heart, and he does whatever he thinks without considering the consequences."

"In my opinion, he is still a bit young and a little impatient. This person should not be a cause for concern."

Hearing Yin Heng's evaluation, Xiang Qingtian suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Is this your evaluation of Su Jiang?"

"Yes." Yin Heng replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Xiang Qingtian didn't speak anymore, but asked: "You came to me, what's the matter?"

"I just got news that Wei Liangping is on the move and is looking around for Su Jiang's hiding place."

Yin Heng said expressionlessly: "And Meng Jiangnan is also contacting the coalition forces in the capital. It seems that both parties intend to cooperate."

"I guess they want to take action against Su Jiang."

"Haha... Wei Liangping is quite fast." Xiang Qingtian said with a smile in his eyes, "It seems that the development of the situation is within our plan."

Yin Heng nodded and added: "But the problem is, Su Jiang seemed to realize that their hiding place was exposed, and they moved out of that place overnight last night."

Hearing this, Xiang Qingtian raised his brows slightly, which was somewhat unexpected.

Could it be because of myself?

Is that little guy so sensitive?

"Can we find their new hiding place now?" Xiang Qingtian asked.

Yin Heng shook his head: "Time is limited, so we can only check a general area. If we want to check each one accurately, it will take at least two days to determine their hiding place."

After hearing this, Xiang Qingtian thought for a moment and suddenly made a decision in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. Reveal Su Jiang's approximate location to Wei Liangping, and be careful not to let him notice."

"Also, let everyone get ready, it's time for us to take action."

Yin Heng did not hesitate and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

After Yin Heng left, Xiang Qingtian looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, slowly closed his eyes, and murmured to himself.

"Su Jiang, have you ever experienced the feeling of loss?"

"Human beings are a kind of creature that must lose something before they can gain enlightenment."

"Time... is running out. Let me take a good look at whether you have the qualifications."

...

At the same time, on a certain street in Yannan.

"Boss, a bunch of candied haws, I want strawberries."

Su Jiang was on his way to an appointment, standing at a roadside stall, buying candied haws.

Since there are no baked cold noodles sold in Yannan, the candied haws of sugar is not out of the question.

This thing is not sold in Jiangdu. It is rare to encounter it. Why don’t you try it in a bunch?

"Okay, ten bucks for strawberries."

The boss enthusiastically took out the candied haws, wrapped it in candy wrapper and handed it to Su Jiang.

Su Jiang took the Tanghulu and was about to pay for it when he suddenly felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes.

When he looked down, he saw a little girl with braids and thin clothes looking up at him with timid eyes.

"Brother, can you buy me a bunch of candied haws?"

The little girl obviously wore few clothes, and her little body could not help but tremble when the cold wind blew.

But she still clutched Su Jiang's clothes tightly, with pleading in her eyes.

"I, I swear, I will make money and pay it back to you in the future." The little girl said with a trembling voice.

"Hey, why are you here again?" The owner of Tanghulu had a headache when he saw the little girl.

He said to Su Jiang: "This little girl, this is not the first time she has done this kind of thing. She says every day that her mother is ill in bed and she wants her mother to eat candied haws."

"But in today's world, liars are everywhere. Who knows if those adults asked her to come out to cheat."

"Brother, I think you should leave her alone."

Hearing this, Su Jiang looked at the little girl quietly and ate a strawberry expressionlessly.

Well, let’s not talk about it, it’s really pretty good.

"Kid, are you asking for it?"

While chewing the candied haws, Su Jiang mocked: "You can't even afford clothes, how can you earn money to repay me?"

The little girl heard this, with a bit of fear on her face, and she loosened her grip on Su Jiang's hand.

Her eyes were red, she was holding back tears, and she choked up and said, "I'm sorry..."

"Pah!"

Su Jiang took out the twenty yuan that Wang Yingying had given him from his pocket and slapped it on the candied haws stall.

"Boss, another string of strawberry candied haws."

The boss took the money, took out another string of strawberry candied haws and handed it to Su Jiang.

After Su Jiang took it, he squatted down and looked at the little girl in front of him.

"What's your name?"

The little girl sobbed and said, "My mother calls me Xiaoxi."

"Xi in hope."

Hope?

Su Jiang smiled slightly, what a good name.

"How old are you?"

"Ten, ten years old."

Su Jiang nodded, then took Xiaoxi's hand and put the string of strawberry candied haws in her hand.

"You're so cute, it's just a bunch of candied haws, why do you need to borrow it?"

"Think of this candied haws as a treat from your big brother."

Su Jiang smiled, touched Xiao Xi's head, and whispered: "If I were you, I would go out and cheat people with this pitiful face every day, and eat and drink everywhere."

Xiao Xi blushed, holding the candied haws, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her face: "But, but my mother said that lying is not good."

"It doesn't matter, you are so cute, there will always be people who are willing to be deceived by you."

Su Jiang's eyes flickered, and he whispered softly: "In this world, especially in Yannan, being a principled person has to pay a price."

"Especially a principled good person, it is even more difficult."

Xiao Xi heard this, with a little confusion in her eyes: "Is it, am I wrong?"

"No, you are not wrong."

Su Jiang shook his head and whispered:

"It's not you who is wrong, it's this world."
