Hu Xibing shook his head and said, "What's there to be courteous about? It's all trivial matters."
"Anyway, thank you. I'm heading back now."
"Go ahead, I've seen 'Big Master' and Grandma worrying about you the entire time."
Chiang Xiao nodded and quickly ran towards her home.
"Chiang Xiao!"
She hadn't even reached Osmanthus Alley when someone called out to her.
Chiang Xiao turned around, her eyebrows lifting in surprise.
Zou Xiaoling?
Zou Xiaoling had already run up to her, panting heavily, unable to catch her breath to speak. She had seen Chiang Xiao from a distance and had run so hard to catch up with her that her heart almost leapt out.
"Teacher Zou, is there something you need?"
Chiang Xiao thought she had no particular connection with Zou Xiaoling.
The only connection might be that she had changed Chiang Baohe's fate, which also affected Zou Xiaoling's. But Zou Xiaoling couldn't possibly know that.
