The weather is getting colder, and the last few dead leaves on the trees are finally falling.

Dowling tossed around in the dormitory for half an hour, cleaned up decently, and then went out the door humming a little tune.

He's in a pretty good mood, and he's been doing everything relatively well lately.

The preliminaries of the newcomer evaluation passed smoothly, and Gangyi didn't bother him anymore in the past few days, as well as today's date with Chu Qianxue.

Although it was only the beginning of winter, Dowling's heart seemed to have flown to spring.

This day is the day when he and Chu Qianxue have known each other for 100 days, and it is a very commemorative day, of course, only Dowling will calculate this date.

Dowling arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Chu Qianxue had just come out, today she was wearing a white jacket and jeans, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her skin looked like snow in such a season.

Dowling smiled and went up to say hello, then stepped forward and took Chu Qianxue's hand, and the two of them walked around the campus like this......

Chu Qianxue couldn't remember the first time she held hands with Dowling, and when she realized something, it seemed that it had become a habit for the two to hold hands together, a habit that made her look forward to it.

In fact, their relationship is very delicate, so far Dowling has not said a word of liking or anything like it, and Chu Qianxue doesn't seem to be ready to go any further, they are still good friends, just good friends who can hold hands.

The two walked side by side on the campus path like this, a beauty like Chu Qianxue is eye-catching everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a school flower, and Dowling obviously played the role of a rumored boyfriend, which made many suitors hate it.

Dowling couldn't understand why he was willing to maintain the current relationship, whether it was because Chu Qianxue had made it clear that he didn't want to have a boyfriend at the beginning, or because he didn't have enough courage to pierce the layer of window paper, in short, he felt that it seemed good like this.

Maybe when they graduate, the two are still friends, and then go their separate ways, and if they meet on the street ten years later, it will only be "better to see each other than to smile lightly".

Dowling was so painful and happy, dating Chu Qianxue, watching movies, watching sunsets, going to thousands of places, leaving thousands of memories.

Each time he sent her downstairs, then let go of her hand, waved goodbye, and watched her smile and back until the last moment.

Today has passed like this, Dowling did not go back to the dormitory, but went to the office of the steel hammer, although he didn't want to admit it, but whenever he had a question and couldn't figure it out, the steel hammer would definitely give him the best answer.

Dowling didn't knock on the door, and went straight into the office with the key, and the office was still the same, full of smoke, clutter, and a sense of home.

Gangyi was looking at the Dunjia Heavenly Book in his phone, he glanced up at Daolin, and said, "I can't answer your question."

Dowling was puzzled, "Hey, I haven't asked you anything."

"Don't you just want to ask, why can't you go further with your little girlfriend? Emotional matters have to be solved by yourself, and I am not an omniscient fairy, this matter can't help you, at most, I will tell you one sentence, the first love basically fails."

"Damn, I didn't ask anything, you know my problem, you're not an immortal? I said, how the hell did you do that?"

"Ah...... Men and women who have problems in their relationship are troubled like the little saliva left behind at the end of a large bottle of drink......

Dowling didn't let the steel hammer finish before he interrupted, "Okay, I won't ask you......

The two were silent for a while, and Gangyi lit a cigarette: "By the way, I may have to leave S City for a while at the end of the month, if there is anything at that time, you can find Uncle Wu."

Dowling thought for a few seconds and said, "Is it related to the message from your brother-in-law a few days ago?"

Gangyi spat out a puff of smoke: "You are quite sharp, indeed, I went to see King Chu Jiang."

"What? She's finally ready to rebuild with you?"

Gangyi sighed, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "On the contrary, this time she came to me, and it was an official duel."

Let's

Dowling was surprised: "What? I mean, what the hell is going on with you two?"

"A lot happened five years ago...... She still can't let go. In short, if she wins this time, I will have to give up the title of Steel, and if I win, she will recommend me to join the Ten Palaces as the new Emperor of Song."

Dowling asked again, "And what are your plans?"

Steelhammer took a deep puff of his cigarette, and instead of answering the question, he asked rhetorically, "What would you do if it were?"

Unexpectedly, Doring laughed, "Do you need to talk about it? Of course it's a towel, you think I don't know, the last time she beat you to a serious injury was because you deliberately released water? Uncle Ping Wang told me a long time ago, you can be very serious when you are serious."

Gangyi's eyebrows were deeply locked and fell into deep thought, he couldn't say a few words every time he saw Shui Yingyao, the last time he met her alone, he had a lot to say, but Shui Yingyao, who hadn't seen him for five years, was directly confronted by his sword, and finally when he was seriously injured, the other party decided to leave, and he was powerless to catch up.

Dowling continued: "After the New Year, you will be thirty, even if people are a few years younger than you, there is not much youth to wait for you, you should suffer a little loss as a man, you can rely on her whatever she wants, anyway, if you become a family in the future, you can say anything."

Gangyi smiled bitterly: "That's why I said that young people nowadays just don't understand anything, if only things were so simple, forget it, it's useless to ask you, it's too troublesome to be the king of the Ten Palaces and Yama, and you can't deliberately lose to her, hey!" I'd better think for myself......" he said and stretched, slumped into the broken office chair.

This night, two men who are also emotionally defeated have a night of drinking at the Black Cat Bar, and they talk like old friends until they are too drunk to wake up......

Also on this night, Jiang Ru, who arrived second in the first round of the preliminaries, had a dream, it was not the first time he had dreamed of that black shadow, a strange black shadow wearing a high-necked black trench coat and a hat, the last time he dreamed of this black shadow, the other party told him four words "Fangcheng Water".

This dream is so clear, and it is still vivid after waking up, so Jiang Ru went to check what the water of Fangcheng means, literally it may refer to the water of Xiangyang, which seems to have no meaning, he feels that he may be too careful.

Until the preliminaries of the next day, after he passed the test, the ghost hunter told him the clues of the location of the casino, and Jiang Ru was immediately stunned on the spot.

So when Jiang Ru dreamed of this dark shadow again, he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you know that?"
