Kang Jian found himself a way out like this . Even if Sheng Yize did let him take the gun, he wouldn’t be bold enough to take it!
His dark eyes lingered on An Xiaxia . “Xiaxia, I need to talk to you . ”
After that, Kang Jian led An Xiaxia to one side, ignoring Sheng Yize’s opinion on his action .
“Are you two still together?” Kang Jian smiled mildly .
An Xiaxia hesitated, then shook her head . “Something happened between us… We broke up a long time ago . ”
Kang Jian acknowledged it with an “oh,” then said, “But he must care about you very much, or he wouldn’t have come to such a dangerous place . ”
“Maybe…” An Xiaxia wasn’t sure about Sheng Yize’s feelings for her .
They chatted for quite a while until An Xiaxia realized something was off . “Kang Jian, are you alright?”
His tanned face was covered in sweat and An Xiaxia handed him a tissue . Kang Jian was a little surprised, but he wiped away his sweat immediately and chuckled . “I stink, do I? Why, don’t give me that disdainful look . ”
“I’m not . I just think you look weird…”
Kang Jian smiled broadly, flashing his white teeth, then rubbed An Xiaxia’s head again .
He had been a tall boy to begin with and had grown quite a bit over the years . He was now over twenty centimeters taller than An Xiaxia and almost looked intimidating .
“Xiaxia, call my name again . ”
“Kang Jian?”
“Like you used to . ”
An Xiaxia found his request strange . “Worthless Kang?”
Kang Jian smiled . “Yup . ”
An Xiaxia was sure something was off now . She grabbed his sleeve and demanded, “Hey, what on earth is going on?!”
Kang Jian was evasive . Instead, he said, “Can I call you like I used to?”
“Hm…?” An Xiaxia was at a loss .
Kang Jian had already whispered it . “Xiaxia Wifey . ”
Pfft —
Why did he still remember that name?!
The two of them used to play house when they were little as husband and wife . She would call him “Jianjian Hubby” and he would call her “Xiaxia Wifey . ”
From childhood to adolescence, he had called her his wife for many years and wouldn’t stop even if he got beaten up for it .
She had only thought it a mischievous thing, but the nickname had a sorrowful feel to it now .
There was no traveling back in time .
Kang Jian heaved a sigh . “That’s it . I’m back to safeguarding the country and you should go back home with your lover boy now . Do send me an invitation when you get married!”
An Xiaxia bit her lip . “You’ll have to come, then . ”
Come back safely .
“Sure . ” Kang Jian smiled brightly, just like when she had first met him when they were little . Back then, he had also smiled like a fool and greeted her while hopping around . “I’m Kang Jian! As in Jian Kang backward! Lalala! You can call me Brother Kangkang, Brother Jianjian, or Brother Handsome! Lalala~”
A valiant Su Xiaomo had then kicked him away and huffed, “Ignore him! He’s an idiot!”
Kang Jian turned around and soon disappeared into the distance .
Sheng Yize looked displeased . He took An Xiaxia’s hand and said coldly, “I’m taking you back . ”
Zhou Shiqiao then handed the baby to An Xiaxia and said earnestly, “Go ahead . I’m going to stay here for a couple more days . About Wen Qing and He Dongyang… Please inform their families after you get back…”
The helicopter rose into the clouds and a massive explosion went off in Zhu County .
At that time, An Xiaxia still hadn’t realized that some deaths were determined by fate .
After she landed, she received a message from Zhou Shiqiao . Kang Jian was dead .
