After a while, two figures came from not far away, one of them supporting the other, and the two of them walked crookedly towards this side, talking incoherently nonsense.

The two of them didn't talk loudly, but the surroundings were very quiet, and Xu Xincheng could still hear them clearly.

"Big brother, I'm ...... I...... I can still drink it. ”

"We, we'll drink it again tomorrow night. ”

"I ......., I can still drink, now...... Drink now, drink. ”

"We ...... , first blow the wind here to breathe. ”

The two were clearly drunk, the one being supported was obviously drunk, and the other person who was holding him was no better.

Xu Xincheng immediately became alert.

Although the place is very secluded, even in the middle of the night, people still pass by from time to time, and it is not until around two o'clock in the morning that no one is there.

Last night, more than twenty people passed in front of them, and most of them just walked quietly, and at most they looked at them curiously.

There were a few people who would deliberately approach this way, and whenever this happened, he would be vigilant, and each time, he would sit up straighter, and only after making sure that they were just curious and not malicious will he relax, or smile and wave his hands, or whisper "It's all right", and then watch them walk away.

However, there were also those who had bad intentions, and there were three such men last night, and as soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately stood up and fixed his eyes on them until they were stunned, and until they walked away in disgust.

He had a hunch that the drunken two would be even more trouble.

The two men walked about 8 meters away from the girl, and the person who was holding him said, "Big brother, there is ...... , there are beautiful women...... , beauty, we ...... and asked her to accompany us...... and drank with us. ”

Hearing the third sentence of the man, Xu Xincheng immediately stood up, walked over quickly, walked about 2 meters away from her, and stood up in front of her, blocking the sight of the two people looking at her.

He was already tall and straight, and he stood straight, while the two were only of average height, and with a drunken and slumped body, they looked a whole head shorter than him.

Seeing the tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, the two of them were so frightened that they took several steps back, and the drunk man almost fell.

Xu Xincheng stood majestically facing the two men, his fists clenched. At this moment, he has changed from a companion to a guardian, a guardian warrior.

Of course, as a Guardian Warrior, he does not take the initiative to attack, nor does he need to speak, he just keeps his eyes firmly on them, and at the same time, he is mentally prepared to go into battle and fulfill his duties as a Guardian Warrior right away if needed.

It took a long time for the drunken man to stand firm, and he slurred his words, "You...... , you give...... Get the hell out of here. ”

The other seemed to sober up a lot, he bowed his head, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! He's drunk." ”

With that, he said, "Let's go," and helped the drunk man on, their pace still staggering, but noticeably faster.

The drunk man turned his head from time to time, and Xu Xincheng kept staring at them until the two of them walked 20 meters away, then he let go of his still clenched fists, slowly turned around, and looked at the girl.

She still didn't move, and although he could only look at it, he could still see that the expression on her face had not changed in the slightest, as if nothing had happened just now.

He shook his head helplessly, walked slowly back to the stone bench, still facing her, and sat down.

---------

With last night's experience, Xu Xincheng's mood tonight is relatively relaxed, he knows that she shouldn't do anything stupid on impulse, it is estimated that she just encountered some problems, and came here to sit and think.

He only had to look at her quietly, and in addition, he would keep those who had ill intentions at bay for her, so that they would not disturb her, that they would not be offended by her, and that they would not be allowed to do wrong.

He also knew, in reckoning, that she would sit here for a long time, just like last night, and since that was the case, he was using this time to think about things.

Today, for him, is a very important day, is a major milestone in his career, his heart can't help but have a lot of emotion, the mood is even more complicated, both joy, excitement, and a little panic.

In addition, he felt that there should be some new plans and new ideas for the next two or three years.

He has been busy with work all day, and has never had the time and opportunity to think about it, he really needs a quiet place and some quiet time, to settle down and think about it.

This place and this scene is the best place and scene, and this moment is the best time and opportunity.

But only after a while, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Xincheng felt that he was a little funny, the achievements he made today are not a big deal at all, and the progress he has made in the past two years is not worth feeling at all, and now he is like the faint street lamp in front of him, in this vast night, its light is simply as faint as a firefly.

As for the new ideas for the next two or three years, it is actually very simple, that is, to work hard as always, and now he is still far from the goals of the second and third stages, and it is far from the time when he can relax, and he must continue to work hard in the next two or three years, or even three or five years, and must go all out.

After thinking about everything, he decided to use this time to do something else, first, he didn't want time to pass in vain, and second, he needed to keep himself refreshed, otherwise, he would soon be sleepy and napping.

He took out his phone, clicked on Dragonfly FM, plugged in his headphones, and put both earbuds into his ears.

However, he immediately thought about it, felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately took off the left earbud. That way, if the girl says something or shouts to him, he can hear it, and if there is something special around him, he can hear it immediately.

He clicked on the download bar in the APP and clicked on one of the downloaded audio programs, "Three-Body Problem".

Reading novels, especially science fiction, is a small hobby of Xu Xincheng, which he cultivated during the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination.

After entering the first year of high school, until the end of the college entrance examination, because he wanted to spend as much time as possible on studying, he strictly controlled the time to read novels, only reading them on weekends, holidays, winter and summer vacations, and only read for three hours a day at most.

Moreover, he only reads the best quality novels, so that he can not only learn a lot from good novels, but also relax and entertain moderately, increase his knowledge, broaden his horizons, and reduce stress and relax his mind.

When he arrived at university, the pressure of studying did not decrease at all, and he began to plan and plan for his future life, and he found that people like him, poor people like him, were really very stressful to live in a big city.

Especially in the first two or three weeks after coming to Guangzhou, the pressure was so great that he was a little out of breath.

In addition to facing the pressure of study and life, in addition to constantly improving himself, in addition to constantly making himself stronger, he will also use running and exercise to reduce stress, and reading novels is also one of his ways to reduce stress.

On the second weekend after his freshman year, he searched through all the science fiction novels he could find in the library, but after all, Guangwai was a liberal arts school that focused on learning languages, and there were very few science fiction novels in the library.

Based on the original English books of foreign science fiction writers, there are only a few works of Chinese science fiction writers, and all Chinese and English works together are only 36, and the good and bad are mixed, and he has always only looked at the best works, such as Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov and other masters.

In the second semester of his freshman year, he finished reading all 13 high-quality works in it, and then began to use the money he earned from his part-time job to buy books to read.

Of all the science fiction novels he has read, Xu Xincheng's favorite is "The Three-Body Problem", he was deeply attracted by the grand universe built by Da Liu, and from the moment he turned the first page of the first part, he couldn't stop at all.

Starting at eight o'clock on Saturday night, he never ate until ten o'clock the next night, and in 26 hours before and after, he had read nearly 2,000 books, but it was the first time he had read books 26 hours a day.

After he finished reading the last page of the third part, when he looked away from that page and looked up at the starry night sky outside the window, Xu Xincheng seemed to feel that his gaze had suddenly passed through the entire galaxy and saw hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy; his gaze had passed through the entire universe and seen trillions of galaxies in the universe; his gaze had passed through the dimensions and seen the world and universe full of infinite possibilities under multiple dimensions; and his gaze had also traveled through time and seen the past, present and future of the entire universe.

Xu Xincheng looked up at the dark night sky, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "In the endless river of time, in the vast sea of stars, at this moment, all the lights on the earth are added together, and they are not just faint as fireflies. ”

He just tilted his head and stared blankly at the night sky.

After a while, he noticed that his mentality was a little negative, and immediately said to himself, "You have to adjust your mentality quickly." ”

He hurriedly lowered his head, took his mind back from the endless river of time, and retracted it to this moment, and retracted his eyes from the vast sea of stars, and retracted it to the Pearl River where he is now.

He saw the streetlights in front of him.

To the darkness of the night sky, the light of this street lamp was as faint as a firefly, but to him and the girl, it was as bright as a torch, and his persistence and protection were indeed insignificant, but to her, it was crucial.
