In the kitchen, Jiang Xiao was in a good mood, humming a tune while washing the dishes.

Although this body was just a kid, after all, Jiang Xiao was an adult.

After integrating the memories, Jiang Xiao felt even more sympathy for the strong girl, Han Jiangxue. In his heart, he had already regarded Han Jiangxue as his little sister. In the future, he planned to do more household chores like washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and taking out the trash.

He wanted to take care of this strong and independent girl as much as possible. Thinking about her, she was truly pitiful. Her parents went on a mission and never came back.

Not only did she lose her parents' support, but she also had to deal with Jiang Xiaopi, an irresponsible child.

Han Jiangxue, who was already without any support, had to become a support for others. Life was indeed unpredictable.

She not only had to go to school, cultivate Star Power, and participate in various school activities, but also had to take care of Jiang Xiaopi after returning home. Fortunately, she was a young and energetic girl; if it were an elderly person, they would probably be exhausted.

The family could still maintain itself, of course, thanks to the help of her parents. Both her father, Han Cheng, and her mother, Jiang Hongye, were Awakened. As for what level of Awakened they were, Jiang Xiao did not know.

Although they were gone, they left a considerable amount of money for the family. The financial power was in Han Jiangxue's hands. Although Jiang Xiao did not know how much money was left, they still had braised pork for lunch today, so it seemed they could still manage.

However, even with a mountain of gold and silver, if they only spent and did not earn, they would eventually run out.

As an adult, Jiang Xiao, having entered this family, naturally had a responsibility. After all, it was a man's duty.

Jiang Xiao had hands and feet; earning money would never be a problem for a physically and mentally healthy person. It would only be a problem for those who were arrogant and unwilling to lower their pride.

Working in a restaurant, delivering meals, or working at a gas station, all under the guise of part-time work or experiencing life, would bring in some income.

However, since he had awakened Star Skills, Jiang Xiao had more possibilities.

Jiang Xiao thought he could wait at the hospital entrance. For patients with minor injuries, he could treat them.

What? You accidentally cut your hand with a kitchen knife?

Do you need to apply medicine? Do you need stitches? Do you need bandages? Do you need time to heal?

Come to me, you won't need any of that, it will work right away!

Do you ask me how I can cure you?

No, I won't cure you,

I will bless you!

Brother, did you sprain your ankle playing basketball? Does it hurt? Is it swollen? Are you having trouble moving in the short term?

Want to get rid of the pain? I'll help you!

Do you ask me how I can help you reduce the swelling and relieve the pain?

Ha ha, I will bless you!

This way, he could not only practice his Star Skill but also understand its capabilities and effects in real-life situations.

While waiting, if there were no patients, Jiang Xiao could also ponder the basic skill: Abundant Star Power.

Two birds with one stone.

So, he decided happily. He would set a small goal for himself, at least not to add more burden to the family. He was a grown-up and felt embarrassed to ask Han Jiangxue for pocket money.

Eh?

What about the vast world and wandering the world? Why did he end up heading to the hospital...

At home, the girl's door suddenly opened. Han Jiangxue, wearing a white dress, with her exquisite and cold face, exuded a fairy-like aura as she walked out the door.

Passing by the kitchen, Han Jiangxue heard the clinking sounds inside, clearly indicating that Jiang Xiao was washing dishes.

Under normal circumstances, Han Jiangxue would not pay attention to Jiang Xiao and would leave home to do her own things.

But today, her brother, who had been slapped, seemed particularly well-behaved. Although he was still as mischievous as ever, he only made a few harmless jokes. He did not act out or cause trouble, and even cleaned the house. Now, he was cleaning the kitchen.

This brother made Han Jiangxue look at him differently. On one hand, she felt her brother had grown up, and on the other hand... well, maybe that slap was long overdue.

Feeling her brother's sudden enlightenment, Han Jiangxue stopped at the kitchen door, preparing to tell him about her plans to go out.

"Jiang..." Han Jiangxue started to speak, but her voice trailed off because she not only heard the clinking sounds of washing dishes but also the sound of singing coming from inside.

She heard Jiang Xiao humming a tune:

"There are 365 sunrises in a year,

I send you 365 blessings..."

Han Jiangxue's movements froze, and she suddenly felt a bit flustered.

Three seconds later, she turned around, wearing white low-heeled sandals, and walked out of the house without looking back.

Bang!

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao, in the kitchen, heard the door and put away the washed dishes, wiping his hands with a paper towel as he walked out.

"Han Jiangxue?" Jiang Xiao called out, puzzled.

But there was no response from the large house.

"Han Jiangxue?" Jiang Xiao called out twice, looking around, but saw no one.

"This girl, leaving without saying a word," Jiang Xiao said helplessly. "No, I have to set some rules. It's okay in the afternoon, but if she goes out at night, she must let me know. She's so young, how can she just go out without telling anyone?"

His somewhat immature voice said something very out of place, but Jiang Xiao did not feel any discomfort. He picked up the wet paper towel he had just used to wipe his hands, brought it to his nose, and blew his nose hard.

Wait a minute?

Can a cold be cured faster?

Jiang Xiao stood there, mobilizing the meager Star Power in his body, placing his right hand on his head, and a white light enveloped him!

Jiang Xiao's expression changed, because... it felt really good.

Bathed in the white light, Jiang Xiao felt warm all over, his limbs felt soft, and his tense muscles were greatly relaxed. A sense of wondrous vitality seemed to flow into his body.

It was like standing in the warm breeze of early spring, enjoying the gentle wind on his face.

It was also like basking in the warm sun of early autumn, lazily enjoying the beauty of life.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but hum like a pig who had just eaten: "Ah~"

Finally, Jiang Xiao took action on himself!

On this side, Jiang Xiao finally blessed himself, while on the other side, Han Jiangxue had already walked out of the elevator. They lived on the 7th floor, and there were two households on this floor.

The door of 702 was also a security door after the handover, with a small carpet at the entrance, indicating that someone lived there, but the owner seemed to be a mysterious figure, and the siblings had never seen them.

Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao had always lived in the house left by their parents. It was a nice neighborhood, not particularly high-end, but with lush trees and a quiet environment.

The high-cold fairy-like girl walked out, enduring the bombardment of old men and women in the pavilion, but she was not pulled into matchmaking. After enduring many hardships, she finally walked out of the neighborhood gate.

"You can tell them you're only 18, and you haven't graduated from high school yet!" A girl with a beautiful face and a fiery figure sat in the driver's seat of a jeep, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, showing off her impressive figure.

The jeep's door was wide open, and the short-haired girl's long legs were crossed and resting on the lowered window frame, watching the disheveled Han Jiangxue with a teasing tone.

Han Jiangxue glared coldly at the short-haired girl without responding.

Not graduated from high school? 18 years old? Does it matter? The old men and women said that when they were 18, their children were already a few years old...

"Hey, Xue Xue is angry, how cute." The short-haired girl retracted her long legs, stepped on the ground, and grabbed her slightly curly chestnut short hair with one hand. She stood up and hugged the approaching Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue pushed the short-haired girl with some disgust, but her strength was not enough, and she could only resign herself to being hugged.

"What do you want me to come out for?" Han Jiangxue tried to move backward, but the emotion hidden in her eyes was more of a doting look.

"Let's have fun, it's a holiday. What do you do at home all day? If I don't take you out for adventures, you won't even leave the house." The short-haired girl linked arms with Han Jiangxue and finally managed to get her into the car.
