Xia Chujian's words did not seem to comfort Small Nine Xiang at all. He cried even harder.
His wailing was like a Mind-Penetrating Devil Sound; even the soundproof cabin door could not block it.
Ning Zheng next door heard him and started crying too.
The two of them cried all the way through security check.
Xia Chujian, Xia Yuanfang, and Ning Sa fumbled about as they took the two bawling children through Guiyuan Star's checkpoint.
Because they were crying so fiercely, the checkpoint staff only wanted to send them on their way as quickly as possible, so they gave them the green light across the board.
Xia Yuanfang and Ning Sa exchanged smiles, feeling that this was an unexpected blessing.
Though they had not brought any contraband, being repeatedly questioned when entering the Spaceport had still left them quite annoyed.
Now, everyone was happy.
Ning Sa and Xia Yuanfang parted ways at the Spaceport outside the atmosphere above Mulan City on Guiyuan Star, each boarding the flying vehicle that had come to collect them.
Ning Sa wielded considerable influence in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, so naturally she had loyal subordinates.
Xia Yuanfang had Aunt Chen as well.
Aunt Chen drove the flying vehicle and happily picked them up to take them home.
Along the way, Aunt Chen kept talking about how much she had missed them. Only at the end did she say, "You managed to get back before Yingying's College Entrance Exam. Yingying must be so happy!"
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Could Yingying have Exam Anxiety Syndrome?"
Aunt Chen said, "It's not quite that serious, but it's close."
"The house is so big, and there were only the two of us. Sigh, it really wasn't very pleasant."
At the end of the day, humans were social creatures.
