Chapter 41 - Tokens
Gu Xingchen and Zhou Xiaoshan sat on the stone chairs on the hillside next to the supermarket, dividing the snacks they had just bought.
"Stardust, do you have anything else to do when you come to Shanghe City?" Zhou Xiaoshan asked casually, but felt that it was inappropriate and a little embarrassed.
Gu Xingchen naturally understood, and nodded with a smile, "I'm here to participate in the Divine Choice." ”
"Divine Choice!" Zhou Xiaoshan suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Xingchen, with shock in her eyes, "Is it the Divine Choice of the Chosen One?"
"Hmm. Gu Xingchen nodded, with some doubts in his heart, Zhou Xiaoshan seemed to worship the Chosen One, so it shouldn't be!
"Wow, it turns out that you are the Chosen One, so powerful, I like the Chosen one the most, they all have a lot of incredible abilities, just like those immortals in the movie. Zhou Xiaoshan was quite excited.
"Actually, the Chosen One is not so good. Gu Xingchen shook his head.
"How so? They are capable, and like stars, many of my classmates adore them. ”
"Every level has its own level of pain, and I think it's good to be an ordinary person. Gu Xingchen felt that he was also quite contradictory, on the one hand, he hoped to make the name of Spring and Autumn resound all over the world, and on the other hand, he hated fighting.
"Perhaps, grandpa often told me that the Chosen ones are particularly fighting, and they are just a group of mutated ordinary people. Zhou Xiaoshan lowered her head and remembered Zhou Lao's words.
"What Zhou Lao said is really incisive, it is true. Gu Xingchen took a bite of bread and agreed.
"Oh, by the way, does anyone in your school participate in the Divine Election?" The topic was a little heavy, and Gu Xingchen changed the topic.
"Well, our school is amazing, there are ten people selected, and there are a few of them who are the twelve geniuses. Zhou Xiaoshan nodded happily, and said with some regret, "But I haven't seen it much." The Chosen One has the privilege of being in the school under his name, and he doesn't have to attend classes. ”
"Are you like that too?" Zhou Xiaoshan asked.
"Pretty much, maybe I spent more time at school. ”
Zhou Xiaoshan's eyes suddenly became gossipy, "Wow, aren't you a celebrity in your school, are there many beautiful women looking for you?"
Gu Xingchen turned his head and thought about it, it seemed that he was really a beautiful woman, but they were all his acquaintances.
"Nobody, no one knew I was the chosen one, but now I know, after all, I participated in the competition. Gu Xingchen finished eating the bread and took out another one.
But don't be half-hearted, I'm saying it as a friend, let's be friends!" Zhou Xiaoshan looked at Gu Xingchen expectantly.
Gu Xingchen shook his head, which suddenly made Zhou Xiaoshan feel a little depressed.
"According to the seniority, I should be your brother, where is the friend. Gu Xingchen immediately said.
Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned, her mood changed for the better, and she feigned anger and said: Hmph, you still want to take advantage of me, I should be your sister!
"Call Brother Sheng to listen......" Gu Xingchen quipped.
"No, you have to call sister. ”
......
Between the two fighting, the relationship has become much closer!
Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoshan took Gu Xingchen to wander around, and didn't go home until Zhou Lao called in the evening!
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a kind old woman greet me.
"Grandma. Zhou Xiaoshan stepped forward directly and hugged his arm, his face full of affection.
"Oh, you girl. He patted Zhou Xiaoshan gently, and then turned his head to look at Gu Xingchen, "This is Xiaochen, come on, let grandma take a good look." ”
"Hello grandma. Gu Xingchen stepped forward.
"Good, good. The old man was very happy, and pulled Gu Xingchen to sit on the sofa and chatter.
Zhou Xiaoshan sat next to her, listening to the chatter of the old and the young, and occasionally interjected a few words.
"Are Changzhou and Xueqin all right?" asked Grandma Zhou.
"It's all good, they're talking about you too!" Although Gu Xingchen had never heard them mention it, he still pretended to hear it.
Gu Xingchen said, which made Grandma Zhou smile and shake her head, "Xiaochen, they shouldn't have preceded us, you kid." ”
"Huh?" Gu Xingchen was suddenly exposed, a little embarrassed.
"We had some old things with our father in Choshu, although ...... Forget it, don't mention it. Grandma Zhou gave a vague reason.
Gu Xingchen seemed to have discovered some incredible secrets, but he could only accompany his smiling face. And Zhou Xiaoshan on the side was even more confused.
"Okay, okay, girl, you can chat with Xiaochen for a while, and grandma will prepare food for you. ”
"Grandma, does she have any secrets!" Zhou Xiaoshan got up and sat down beside Gu Xingchen and said quietly.
"Alas, we don't care about their older generation. Gu Xingchen said with a smile.
"Hmph, you must know something...... Say it!"
Gu Xingchen didn't know anything except what Zhou Lao said this morning, so he could only shake his head vigorously!
Suddenly, Gu Xingchen realized that Old Zhou and his wife didn't seem to be ordinary people, but Zhou Xiaoshan didn't know anything!
"What's the matter, why are you stunned again. Zhou Xiaoshan shook Gu Xingchen.
"Ah, it's okay!" Gu Xingchen smiled.
Soon, the two old men came to the table with many dishes.
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat, little ones. Zhou Lao shouted happily.
"Wow, it's so rich, it's a blessing today. Gu Xingchen sat down in his position and exclaimed.
"Then eat more, and don't see outside, just like at home. Grandma Zhou was also very happy.
At the dinner table, Grandma Zhou kept putting vegetables on Gu Xingchen, which made Gu Xingchen a little embarrassed and felt very warm!
After a long time, the meal ended in a warm atmosphere, and Gu Xingchen said goodbye to the second elder!
Zhou Lao sent Gu Xingchen downstairs, "Xiaochen, this thing is for you!"
As he spoke, Zhou Lao took out a token from his pocket, which looked extremely simple and seemed to have experienced the precipitation of the years.
"What is this?" Gu Xingchen asked suspiciously, without taking the token.
Zhou Lao took Gu Xingchen's hand and stuffed the token into his hand, "A gadget, if one day, you encounter something that can't be solved, use it, no matter what!"
Zhou Lao focused on the five words "under any circumstances", which made Gu Xingchen tremble!
"Old Zhou, this is too precious, this ......" Gu Xingchen is not a fool, and naturally understands how "heavy" the token in his hand is.
"Take it, since Changzhou has chosen you, it proves that you are worthy!" Old Zhou motioned to Gu Xingchen and patted Gu Xingchen's shoulder, "Okay, go back, come and see our old man's house when you have time, don't see outside, this is also your other home!"
Although Gu Xingchen was a little foggy, he still nodded solemnly, put away the token, and left.
Looking at Gu Xingchen's back, Zhou Lao smiled!
