Meng Xinian's mood this time was truly awful.
The low tone of his voice allowed Chiang Xiao to detect it immediately.
"Brother Xinian, what's wrong?"
Meng Xinian wiped his face and said, "I have to participate in a special training."
"Haven't you attended many of those before? Is this time different?" Chiang Xiao felt disappointed as well; in fact, she had also been looking forward to the winter break because she wanted to see him.
Moreover, she had brought him a gift.
Meng Xinian responded in a heavy tone, "It's different, it's overseas."
Chiang Xiao was shocked. Overseas?
To participate in special training? In this day and age?
Meng Xinian said, "And it's for a year."
Chiang Xiao cried out, unable to hide her reaction: "A year?"
A year was just too long!
Meng Xinian thought the assignment was unexpected, yet on second thought, it seemed inevitable.
He wasn't supposed to be on the list for this task in the first place.
