The next morning, after the sun had risen, Jiang Xiao bade farewell to the couple.
Well, farewell was superfluous, as the couple had reverted back to being NPCs by that time.
Having learned from Wang Dayong that the food was inedible, Jiang Xiao certainly wouldn't foolishly join the couple for breakfast.
...
Eagerly awaiting since before dawn, Wang Dayong had been standing at the entrance of the private school, finally spotting the person he had been longing for.
"Hey, Jiang Xiao bro! Why'd you only just arrive? The food I made for you is getting cold, want me to warm it up for you?"
"No need, I'll just grab a bite and go."
Hmm?
"Bro, you're leaving?!"
Did happiness come this suddenly?
Wang Dayong hadn't managed to be happy for long before Jiang Xiao's next words chilled his heart by half.
"Mmhm, I'm off. I'm going to Sunset Mountain to see if I can find any clues. Make lunch as usual, less salt and oil, okay?"
Wang Dayong: ¥%¥#*&!
So much for his excited mood.
