Chapter 45: Girlfriends
Ye Yang didn't have to wait long at home before Yuan Dou got him a job as a waiter in another bar in the South District. Yuan Dou found Long Qiuyu at that time and asked him for help, hoping to help Ye Yang find a job, and Long Qiuyu readily agreed. At first, it was a bar with a gladiatorial arena underground, but Yuan Dou didn't think it was too good, so he arranged for him to another ordinary bar.
For this reason, Ye Yang also specially came to thank Yuan Dou when he went home to see his mother on Saturday, because this was Ye Yang's first serious job since he had been away from home for so long, and he felt very down-to-earth.
Ye Xi was also very happy after knowing Ye Yang's work, because along the way, Ye Yang always did things that made her frightened, and she was always injured for this, which made her very uncomfortable. Today's waiter work, although he earns very little money, can make Ye Xi not have to worry about Ye Yang, for this, Ye Xi is also grateful to Yuan Dou.
It's just that after that incident, Ye Xi was always on guard against Yuan Dou and treated him like a pervert. This made Yuan Dou very sad, after all, it was not Yuan Dou's intention, it was just an instinctive reaction. At the same time, it is not without benefits, although Ye Xi in the past will not keep his distance from Yuan Dou, he will be nervous and speechless. Although there is a misunderstanding about Yuandou now, he can already talk to Yuandou fluently. In this way, although there are flaws, the relationship between the two seems to have made great progress, after all, Ye Xi has completely accepted Yuan Dou and does not treat Yuan Dou as an outsider.
At noon, after class, Yuan Dou looked at Ye Xi and said, "Ye Xi, come to the cafeteria with us." ”
"Wait for me, right away." Ye Xi replied naturally.
In recent times, all three of them have gone to the cafeteria to eat together. After getting acquainted with Ye Xi, Yuan Dou felt that Ye Xi was still very easy to get along with. Now Ye Xi is no longer expressionless when facing Yuan Dou and Lian Yan, not only that, but sometimes Yuan Dou and Lian Yan's jokes will make her smile. At this time, Ye Xi was like the little sister next door, and her smile was particularly sweet.
After Yuan Dou and Ye Xi got acquainted, Yuan Dou once asked Ye Xi why his expression was so serious when facing strangers. She said because she didn't know what kind of expression to use. Yuan Dou felt that she should have never had friends or playmates since she was a child. After all, having the strength of a grandmaster at such a young age is her talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must be related to her efforts. Maybe when other children were enjoying their innocent childhood, she was still practicing. In this regard, Yuan Dou felt that Ye Xi was very worthy of sympathy and decided to care more about her. Therefore, Yuan Dou will call her during dinner, hoping that she can make more friends and not be lonely anymore.
This effect is also obvious, at the end of this semester, Ye Xi is completely different from when he first met. Although Ye Xi will still feel nervous about people he doesn't know, he won't be as hostile as before. Now when Ye Xi is with Yuan Dou and Lian Yan, he is already like an ordinary person, laughing and getting angry. It's just that Yuan Dou doesn't know what's going on, when she and Lian Yan became friends, the relationship between the two was so good that they whispered together all day long, and looked at themselves with smiling eyes from time to time. Is this what becomes a best friend, the relationship between women Yuan Dou can't understand.
For the final exam, Yuan Dou passed it smoothly, and although the results were not the best, they were okay and barely acceptable. When Yuan Dou told his mother about the results, his mother didn't say anything. As she once said, her mother gave Mototo full trust by letting him decide which path he wanted to take. This feeling of free choice makes Yuan Dou feel like a lion who has just grown up, with a little loss and confusion, but also longing, looking forward to his first hunt.
After the final exam, it is the beginning of a painful long vacation for Yuan Dou, because whenever the long vacation comes, Yuan Dou has enough time to be drilled by the master. The hard training made Yuan Dou make rapid progress, and only halfway through the winter vacation, Yuan Dou felt that he was about to advance. Compared to others, it is already very fast, after all, the martial artist has only been at the high level for half a year.
There are still five days left before the Chinese New Year, and today Yuan Dou is going to officially advance to the Grandmaster, and after a day of rest, Yuan Dou has adjusted his state to the best. After lunch, Mototo locked himself in his room. There was already a large bath bucket in the middle of the room, and it was not filled with clear water, but with red medicinal soup. This is the medicinal herb that the master prepared for Yuan Dou's promotion, and he can help Yuan Dou and make it easier to advance.
Although it is not difficult to advance to a Grandmaster, it takes a very long time for ordinary people to advance to a Grandmaster, because Grandmaster cannot be achieved overnight. When you reach the advanced level of martial arts and train your Ming Jin to the peak, you can advance to the Grandmaster. There is a process in this, and that is to strengthen the internal organs. There are two ways to do this, one is a set of combinations, the kind that, like yoga, has to be maintained for a long time. The action is not difficult, but the person is very uncomfortable, and it requires water grinding kung fu and persistent exercise to slowly reflect the effect. Basically, you need to practice once a day, and practice uninterrupted for a year to achieve results, and then you can be considered successful. This method is passed down from the ancestors, and the effect is slow, time-consuming, and laborious.
The second method is the method that Yuan Dou is about to use, which is stimulated by special drugs, so that the internal organs can reach sufficient strength in a short period of time to complete the promotion of the grandmaster. Moreover, the results are usually better than regular exercise, and people with good physical fitness are able to improve more, which is not the effect of the first method. Despite this, there are still many disadvantages, one is that the medicinal materials are very expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people, and the second is that the drug stimulation is very painful, and I heard the master say that it is the same pain intensity as during childbirth.
Yuan Dou, who was already ready, first applied a layer of ointment on his body, which was the essence extracted from the venom of a rare mutant poisonous snake, which could temporarily block the neurofeedback signal on the surface of the skin and slightly reduce the irritation response of the drug from the skin into the body. After the ointment penetrated the skin, Yuan Dou walked into the bathtub.
The cold medicinal soup made Yuan Dou feel straight, and there was no imaginary pain. Slowly, Yuan Dou felt the change, and the medicinal soup seemed to be heating up, constantly increasing the temperature. Yuandou feels more and more comfortable, like taking a hot bath, which makes people warm. But Yuan Dou forgot that he had already applied ointment on his body to make his skin lose its ability to perceive, and the warmth at this time was not a real feeling.
