For most people, adolescence is a time of troubles and confusion.

During this period, the ideal of plumpness and the reality of skinny become irreconcilable contradictions.

Maybe a second ago, you were still inspired by the chicken soup for the soul, eager to do something big in history;

But in the next second, you will look at your failed exam papers and the table with scholarships next to you, and you will have a strong sense of frustration in your heart.

As the saying goes, when a person matures, there are two transformations -

The first time was to realize that I was just an ordinary person.

The second time is to realize that you are a unique and ordinary person.

At this moment, Wang Yang is undoubtedly in such a painful period.

Gu Xu gave him moral support at most.

To get out of the pain, Wang Yang still has to rely on himself after all.

…………

After a while, Wang Yang wiped away his snot and tears, and said to Gu Xu with red eyes: "Lord Gu, I'm sorry, I was emotional just now, and I made you smile......

Gu Xu chuckled lightly and responded, "Wang Yang, you still call me 'Brother Gu' like before!" Now you are shouting 'Lord Gu' and 'Master Gu' all day long, which sounds strange and unfamiliar. ”

Wang Yang looked up at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered, "Brother Gu, thank you so much tonight......"

In Wang Yang's impression, Gu Xu has always been a busy man - he is either cultivating or doing tasks every day.

Usually, Gu Xu rarely participates in the dinners of his colleagues in the Exorcism Division.

Even in daily chats, Gu Xu often exchanged a few words of greeting, dealt with it casually, and left in a hurry.

But today, Gu Xu not only woke Wang Yang up from his coma, but also took time out to comfort him.

This made Wang Yang very moved.

"Between us, why be polite? As long as you are a little more stable in your cultivation in the future, and don't worry about me and Master Chen, I will be content. ”

Gu Xu straightened his clothes, got up slowly, and interrupted him with a smile.

The moonlight poured down like water.

His dark brocade robe contrasted sharply with his pale face.

…………

In the next time, according to the original plan, Gu Xu first went to the warehouse to find the hunchbacked old man and receive the "Changming Dan".

He then returned home.

As usual, he sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat.

Take the pill and close your eyes to practice.

In his world of consciousness, the road to Huangquan is still rugged and bumpy, and he can't see his fingers.

The wails of ghosts and demons were still heard in my ears.

Every time Gu Xu took a step forward, the lantern in his hand would become a little dim.

But he was as unfazed as ever.

Because the medicinal power of "Changming Dan" is constantly adding new fuel to the lantern in his hand.

Even if the wind roared on the Huangquan Road, the firelight was still strong and lit for a long time.

When the power of the third elixir was exhausted, it was dawn.

Gu Xu finally stopped cultivating.

He changed his clothes, got up, told the little scholar on the screen to boil hot water, and then went to the kitchen to make himself breakfast.

"Knock knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect that his humble snail house would one day have guests visit.

"Who's out there?" He asked, standing behind the door.

"Gu Xu, don't you even know me?" A soft and pleasant laugh rang out outside the door.

It turned out to be Shi Xiaohan, this girl!

Gu Xu smiled and opened the door.

"Lord Woman, if I'm not mistaken, aren't you on vacation to accompany Ling Zun at home today? What is the wind that brought you to me? ”

"My father is so nagging! He was talking in front of me all day long about how good the group of sons and brothers in the capital were, as if he was afraid that I would not be able to marry in this life and lose the face of the family! If I continue to stay at home, I'll be annoyed by him sooner or later! Shi Xiaohan frowned and complained.

Gu Xu understood her mood at this time.

After all, in his previous life, he was also urged by his parents to find a girlfriend all day long - although he always thought that girlfriends were not as fun as games.

"So you're taking refuge in my house?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes, by the way, come for breakfast," Shi Xiaohan crossed his waist, raised his chin and grinned, "I remember, you still owe me several meals." You said you'd pay it back. ”

She was wearing a light purple pleated skirt today, and her feet were plain and white embroidered shoes, and she did not wear powder or jewelry.

The whole person looks like a delicate lilac flower.

"Indeed," Gu Xu nodded with a smile, "It's just that the contemptible person's cooking skills are not good, and I hope that the woman will forgive me." ”

"Hmph, this woman is not a picky eater like you." Shi Xiaohan pursed his lips.

At the same time, she also took out three bottles of "Changming Dan" from her pocket and stuffed them into Gu Xu's hands.

"Gu Xu, congratulations on your promotion to the second realm," she looked up at Gu Xu at a forty-five degree angle, her apricot eyes were clear and translucent, "This is a reward for you." By the way, don't say no! ”

Gu Xu took the "Changming Dan" and said with a smile: "Then thank you to Shi Nuxia!" ”

At this time, he had deeply realized that there was only the first time and countless times to accept the favor of others.

When Shi Xiaohan gave him the pill for the first time, he still upheld the dignity of a young man and shirked it for a long time.

But now, he has been able to accept Shi Xiaohan's kindness without any psychological pressure.

He understood that if he wanted to cultivate to the seventh realm before the age of thirty, he needed many, many pills.

There's no need to be too pretentious about this kind of thing.

…………

A few minutes later, Gu Xu brought two "healthy breakfasts" to the table-

Two bowls of oatmeal with red dates, two boiled eggs and two apples.

Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly: "You have breakfast...... It's lighter than what my grandfather usually eats. ”

Gu Xu smiled: "You know, I've always been in bad health, and I can't stand heavy things...... When I go to a restaurant, I try to eat some. ”

Shi Xiaohan was silent for a long time.

"Gu Xu, I really admire you." She let out a long sigh and said.

"Why?" Gu Xu's eyebrows raised slightly.

"For me, I don't eat chili peppers and cilantro for a long time...... I'm going to die sooner or later," Shi Xiaohan licked his lips and replied, "It's really extraordinary that you can keep eating these things every day!" ”

…………

However, although Shi Xiaohan never forgot the chili pepper on her mouth, she still ate the "health breakfast" made by Gu Xu at all, and even licked the bottom of the bowl cleanly.

also praised Gu Xu from time to time for a few words, "good cooking".

It can be seen that she is philanthropic for all food.

After the two of them finished eating, Gu Xu called the little scholar on the screen portrait and told him to wash the dishes.

Shi Xiaohan stared at the little scholar for a long time, and said, "'Eye-catching Spirit'...... Gu Xu, I didn't expect you to master such a magical spell! ”

Gu Xu replied: "The tricks are ingenious, not enough to worry about. ”

Shi Xiaohan narrowed his eyes: "Actually, I thought that after you learned this method, you would draw a few beautiful maids for yourself!" ”

Gu Xu shook his head: "I don't want to be distracted while cultivating. ”

Shi Xiaohan sneered: "You guy, sure enough, you only have tasks and cultivation in your mind. ”

She paused for a moment, and then continued: "By the way, Gu Xu, after Lord Chen comes back, I want to apply to go to the 'Ming Zhi Hall' for a period of retreat, ready to break through the third realm." ”
