111. Hope after despair
For the next few days, Ink Shadow continued to shut himself up in the room. Say it's not sad, say it's already put down, it's all fake, how can you not be sad, the person you like suddenly forgets about yourself, and it's selectively forgotten.
Although you know some things, you can't just put them down. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, that's the mentality of a saint, and there are a few ordinary people who can do it.
Xu Dongliu in the room was not depressed all the time, he was thinking about many questions, for everything that happened in the past, it became history and could not be changed. But the days go on, and if you keep drowning in the sorrows of the past, you really fail.
He is thinking about his future path, and the eyes of a truly strong man are always looking ahead. Xu Dongliu has probably found his direction, he wants to carry the Night Knight to the end, he wants to continue to temper himself and improve his strength, he doesn't want something like this to happen again, he doesn't want to experience the pain of being forgotten again.
Become stronger, become extremely powerful, can single out the bloodthirsty demon spider, and even if you encounter an existence more powerful than the bloodthirsty demon spider in the future, you still have the ability to face it and protect the important people around you. There has never been a moment when Xu Dongliu was so eager for power as he is now, almost reaching a state of madness.
"Brother, this is the latest dish that Sister Yuchen and I learned, sauerkraut fish. Come and try it. Shi Lei knocked on the door of Xu Dongliu's room, holding a large bowl in his hand, and as soon as the door opened, a burst of fragrance filled the entire room.
Xu Dongliu looked at Shi Lei, his melancholy eyes swept away, he had been autistic for so many days, they should be very worried about it for a while, it was time to cheer up and reassure them.
"Okay, it tastes so good when you ask, Xiao Lei, put it on the table, I'll taste it." I haven't eaten well for many days, and the sudden arrival of a sauerkraut fish made Xu Dongliu's saliva flow when he smelled it, which was indeed an appetizer.
The sauerkraut of the sauerkraut fish is not ordinary, this is specially purchased by Shangguan Yuchen, specially used to cook the sauerkraut fish. The fish is not grass carp or osmanthus used in ordinary hotels, but wild sea bass with delicious meat and few bones. It is worth mentioning the ingredients for sauerkraut fish, which Shangguan Yuchen and Shi Lei have discussed and developed together for a long time, how much red oil, how much pepper, how much ginger, onion and garlic are used, and at Shi Lei's insistence, they have been accurate to the gram to calculate. When graduate students encounter food, the sparks that collide are too dazzling.
Xu Dongliu had a full meal, this was the happiest meal he had in the past few days, not only because Shi Lei and Shangguan Yuchen's craftsmanship had greatly improved, but also because he had gradually come out of his bad mood. The gloom in my heart was swept away, and I was full of energy, and I was very eager for food.
Xu Dongliu ran out of the room as soon as he finished eating, but he still didn't forget to turn around and say to Shi Lei: "It tastes great, I'll have another meal tonight, I'll go out first."
Where can he go? Of course, he went to find someone, although he locked himself in his room for the past few days, but everything that happened around him was under his heavenly eyes, as long as he wanted to see, there was nothing he couldn't notice. In the past few days, that person has often stood at the door of his room, wanting to knock on the door and come in but hesitate, and finally turned to leave, that contradictory look, he really wanted to laugh when he saw it. It was as if she had something to say to herself, but whenever she mustered up the courage to say it, she timidly left. Therefore, Xu Dongliu planned to find her and Shangguan Yuchen.
"Hey, Miss, what's scaring you at my door these days?" Xu Dongliu saw Shangguan Yuchen who was about to go back to the room.
"Where?" Shangguan Yuchen was a little weak-hearted, but he also felt strange, how did he know about this.
"Where? I've seen it all, do you have something to look for me, don't worry, I'm fine, I can continue to work. Bodyguard, the driver goes to work normally today. Xu Dongliu patted his chest and signaled that he had no problem at all.
"Okay, there are no classes on the weekend today, but I want to call Xiao Lei to go to the mall together." Shangguan Yuchen has long wanted to go to the mall and buy things, although he uses it himself and eats a lot, but shopping in the mall is a hobby for most girls, especially a little girl like Shangguan Yuchen, who is active and savage, and likes to walk around.
"Okay, Miss, ready to go. Please command. Xu Dongliu placed his right hand across his chest and bowed to Shangguan Yuchen. It's too similar to the scene of the princess and the guard on TV.
This visit to the mall was a long time, but for them time passed quickly, as if in an instant, an afternoon had passed. Most of the time, Shangguan Yuchen is shopping, and for this little rich woman, she doesn't know what saving is, what is only buying the right one, and not buying the superfluous. For her, as long as she likes it, as long as they look at it a few more times, then buy it, buy it, because money is not an issue. The question was whether there was anything they liked, so soon Xu Dongliu and Shi Lei carried large bags and small bags in their hands. Of course, they can choose to deliver it to their door, but Shangguan Yuchen refused, he must let them carry it, especially Xu Dongliu, who has a full hand and a few bags hanging around his neck, and he didn't even let go of his mouth, and he still bites it in his mouth.
This is all requested by Shangguan Yuchen, she said that this is a punishment for his autism, Xu Dongliu did not shirk anything, he came as many as he could, and those who came did not refuse, as long as Miss Shangguan was happy and no longer angry. In this way, the three of them returned home tiredly, but they were all very happy, some people were happy to buy it, some people were happy to mention it, Shi Lei was a guy who was implicated, he was originally young and was pulled to do coolies, tired and sweaty, but he was also happy, because the eldest brother and Sister Yuchen were very happy. Shi Lei's heart is very simple, as long as the people around him are happy, it doesn't matter if he is tired.
Xu Dongliu completely liberated himself after this shopping, and after experiencing deep despair, he felt hope again, and this hope was doubled, because the previous despair also turned into hope. And the pain that follows the pleasure is also doubled, because the pleasure that precedes it deepens the pain. Therefore, everyone in the world says: first bitter and then sweet, sweet for a long time; First sweet and then bitter, bitter long.
