"Miss, I'm back!"

"Hey, how's it going?"

Seeing that Gao Xi finally came up, Gao Ran immediately greeted him and asked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The hand involuntarily grabbed the sleeve of his shirt, which was still dripping at the moment.

"Well, Miss was right! There was a passage in the depths of the waterhole, but I didn't go in to investigate, so I didn't know how deep it was...... But don't worry, young lady, I have a basic idea of where the water is going, so we can look in that direction from here. In this way, it will also be safer. ”

Gao Ran thought about it and felt that what Gao Xi said was reasonable. After all, even if there was indeed a wonderful natural isolated valley on the other side of the passage, if there was only that passage that could be passed, then I am afraid that she would only be able to watch and not be able to go there - who told her not to do anything "closed qigong"?!

Besides, if she really found the retreat she dreamed of, then in the future, she would still have to take You Song to live with her. But he doesn't know martial arts, and it seems unlikely that he will dive through the "waterway"!

Therefore, Gao Ran is willing to try to walk the dry road with Gao Xi to find out if there are other passages to enter the mysterious "other side"?

Even for this reason, she may have to set up all kinds of maze and poison arrays around that area in the future to prevent outsiders from entering at will, which is better than having no other way to go except the "waterway"!

Otherwise, she would have to give up unwillingly......

Thinking like this, Gao Ran agreed to Gao Xi's suggestion.

"Okay, then we'll leave at noon! Let's go back first! Your clothes are soaking wet, and you need to change into a clean one.

"Although I know that you can also dry it with internal force, it is better not to use internal force on such trivial things when you are out and about!

"Internal force is used to save your life, not for you to waste casually!"

"Hmm. I know, then I'll change it and take it to dry. It's windy in this area, and by noon, the clothes are almost dry. ”

"Hmm. Let's go! Let's go back!"

"Wenxuan, let's go!"

Before leaving, Gao Ran did not forget the existence of Fu Wenxuan, who had been ignored by her and Gao Xi just now.

"Ahh ”

Fu Wenxuan obviously hadn't recovered from the conversation between Gao Ran and Gao Xi that he had just heard, he only knew that Gao Ran called his name, so he reflexively responded, and then saw that the two were about to go back...... Only then did I realize that they were going back. He quickly answered and quickly followed.

But in his mind, he was still thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now.

Fu Wenxuan was obviously confused, he couldn't figure out what Gao Ran was going to do, what kind of place was the place she asked Gao Xi to explore?

But looking at Gao Xi's appearance, he didn't seem to know exactly what Gao Ran wanted to do, he just didn't think much about acting according to her wishes.

However, it seems that Gao Xi knows Gao Ran quite well, knows what she explains, and generally pays more attention to the result than the process! Therefore, Gao Xi will temporarily give his own more practical suggestions to help Gao Ran achieve the goal she really wants with greater certainty.

In addition, after watching the real attitude and way of communicating between the two of them as an observer for the first time, Fu Wenxuan would not fail to see that this Gao Xi did look like the "personal guard" that Gao Ran had told him on the surface, but when he stayed by their side and observed the most real interaction between them up close, he felt more and more that their "master and servant" relationship was just a surface.

"It seems that this Gao Xi is not simple! Moreover, between him and Xiao Ran...... It's not easy!"

At least, Fu Wenxuan can still see this point!

"Xiao Ran, do you have any plans, does it have anything to do with the place you want to find?"

Fu Wenxuan took a few steps to catch up with Gao Ran, and then asked directly.

"Well, yes, but, until I've found it and confirmed something, then I can decide whether or not to tell you about my plans, depending on the circumstances. ”

Gao Ran didn't intend to hide anything from him.

In fact, from the moment Gao Ran decided to try to be a friend with Fu Wenxuan, she decided, "If you are suspicious, you will not be suspicious!"

Between friends, trust is the most important thing!

So, if he really wanted to know, she couldn't tell him the truth, but she had to wait until the time she thought was right!

"Hmm. Well, the day is long, and if you will, you'll tell me eventually. But even if you don't want to say it, that's okay. I believe that you have your reasons for everything, and I just need to choose to believe in you!"

As he spoke, Fu Wenxuan raised his hand and patted Gao Ran's shoulder, and said to her seriously, "If you need my help, just tell me! I can help, I will definitely help!"

After saying that, Fu Wenxuan turned his head and walked away on his own.

Gao Ran didn't expect this!

Before that, she thought at most that Fu Wenxuan would not betray her, betray her, or deliberately hinder her, but she never thought that he would also want to help her!

However, there was no calculation in his eyes when he said that just now, it seemed that he really didn't have any purpose, just wanted to help her!

After a slight pause, looking at the back of Fu Wenxuan, who had already surpassed him and walked in front of him, Gao Ran suddenly felt that maybe it would not be bad to make a true friend!

At least, having such a friend by her side, even if it doesn't help much, at least it will make her feel "reliable" in her heart. This will make her feel a kind of peace of mind somewhere she has never felt before-it seems that even if she really has nothing one day, someone will be willing to take her in unconditionally and give her a "safe haven" where she can rest and heal her pain...... Even if it's only temporary...... That's good too!

For a moment, Gao Ran suddenly remembered a sentence - "I am fortunate to have it, but I will not die!"

She didn't remember what that sentence was referring to, but, at least at this moment, she felt that it could be used to describe her feelings after meeting such a reliable friend!

Indeed, such a friend is hard to come by! His real role is not how much substantial help he can provide her...... For Gao Ran, the real role of such a friend lies in his existence itself!

It seems that as long as he exists well, a certain part of Gao Ran's heart will be very steady, and she can get a steady stream of encouragement and support from there, so that she has the courage and strength to keep moving forward - because she knows that even if she eventually becomes nothing, she will have a place to stop temporarily, and there will be people who are willing to sincerely take her in, understand her, and even support her as always.

Even if it's only temporary, but for Gao Ran, it's good to have such a place in her life, and she is very content!

Even if once activated, it quickly exhausts that "temporary" expiration date!

What's more, with her character, she will never let herself be easily reduced to the point where she has to use this last "habitat"!

She hopes that this "habitat" will be treasured forever and that its expiration date will never be activated, so that this friendship may be able to be maintained for a lifetime!

"For a lifetime?!"

Gao Ran couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

She never thought that there would be times when she would want "for the rest of her life...... Moreover, the frequency of similar ideas seems to be getting higher and higher recently-whether it is for Gao Xi, or Fu Wenxuan, or Qiao'er, Zhao Yi, You Song, or even An Yujie......

She did not know whether the number of people who would be involved in this "lifetime" would continue to increase in her future life? But, at least one thing she was sure of: she seemed to have changed! At least, her character, and even some of her underlying will, seemed to have changed significantly! Otherwise, she would not have realized so clearly that she had changed!

Gao Ran doesn't know, is this a good thing or a bad thing?!

But, at least, what reassures her is that no matter what she will eventually become in the future, she will still keep her original heart, and will still persistently pursue the freedom she wants, so she is willing to make any change for the sake of this original intention - as long as the original intention remains the same, she can continue to approach it step by step as always, then everything is worth it!

Therefore, in the face of his own quiet change, and in the face of his own people who have begun to have the idea of wanting to implicate "for a lifetime" for other people, although Gao Ran was a little surprised by his own change, he was not alarmed, but felt that his heart seemed to be gradually warming, and he gradually became more reassuring and down-to-earth!

If she hadn't felt this "temperature" in her heart, she probably wouldn't have known that her heart was actually almost no "temperature" - perhaps, it was really a comparison that could clearly feel the existence of "difference"!

However, Gao Ran knows that she likes her current self and likes her changes.

At the same time, she also discovered that it seems that being tied to others, or even entangled for a lifetime, is not necessarily heavy and troublesome. Perhaps, it may be warm, powerful, and can make you stronger!

And these are the people who have long been left in her heart now, taught her!

In this regard, Gao Ran only felt that there was only one word to describe the strongest emotional feedback she wanted to express to them: gratitude!

She understood that none of this could be taken for granted, not because she deserved it, but because she wanted to!

So, she's grateful! )
