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

During this period, plump ideals and skinny reality became irreconcilable contradictions.

Perhaps a second ago, you were inspired by Chicken Soup for the Soul and longed to do something great that would go down in history;

But the next second, you will look at the test papers that you failed and your classmates with scholarships next to you, and you will feel a strong sense of frustration.

As the saying goes, there are two transformations for a person to mature -

For the first time, I realized that I was just an ordinary person.

The second time is to realize that I am a unique ordinary person.

At this moment, Wang Yang is undoubtedly in such a period of labor pain.

The most Gu Xu could give him was moral support.

To get out of the pain, Wang Yang still had to rely on himself.

…………

After a while, Wang Yang wiped away his nose and tears, and said to Gu Xu with red eyes: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I was so emotional just now that I made you laugh..."

Gu Xu chuckled lightly and responded: "Wang Yang, you should just call me 'Brother Gu' like before! Now you call me 'Mr. Gu' and 'Mr. Gu' all day long, which sounds strange."

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 practicing or doing tasks every day.

Gu Xu rarely attended the dinner gatherings held by colleagues from the Exorcism Department.

Even in daily chats, Gu Xu usually exchanged a few pleasantries, dealt with them casually, and then left in a hurry.

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

This moved Wang Yang very much.

"Why should we be polite between us? As long as you are more steady in your cultivation in the future and don't let Master Chen and I worry about it, I will be satisfied."

Gu Xu adjusted his clothes, stood up slowly, and interrupted him with a smile.

The moonlight is like water, pouring down on him.

His dark brocade robe and pale face formed a sharp contrast.

…………

In the following time, Gu Xu followed the original plan and first went to the warehouse to find the hunchbacked old man and receive the "Eternal Brightness Pill".

Then he returned home.

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

Take the elixir, close your eyes and practice.

In his conscious world, the road to hell was still rugged and bumpy, and he couldn't even see his fingers.

The whining sounds of ghosts and ghosts are still coming to my ears.

Every time Gu Xu takes a step forward, the lantern in his hand becomes a little dimmer.

But he looked calm as always.

Because the medicinal power of "Eternal Brightness Pill" is continuously adding new fuel to the lantern in his hand.

Even if the dark wind roars on the Huangquan Road, the ray of fire still shines brightly and for a long time.

When the third pill was exhausted, it was dawn.

Gu Xu finally stopped practicing.

He changed his clothes, stood up, told the little book boy on the screen to boil hot water, and then walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself.

"Dong dong dong!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He never imagined that one day his humble shack would be visited by guests.

"Who's outside?" he asked, standing behind the door.

"Gu Xu, don't you even recognize me?" A light and sweet laughter sounded outside the door.

It turns out to be this girl Shi Xiaohan!

Gu Xu smiled and opened the door.

"My Lady, if I remember correctly, didn't you stay at home with your father on vacation today? What gust of wind brought you to me?"

"My father is so nagging! He talks in front of me all day long about how outstanding the young men in the capital are. He seems to be afraid that I will not be able to get married in this life and lose the face of the family! If I continue to stay at home,

Sooner or later I will be annoyed to death by him!" Shi Xiaohan complained with a frown.

Gu Xu understood her mood at this time very well.

After all, in his previous life, his parents had been urging him to find a girlfriend all day long - although he had always felt that a girlfriend was not as fun as games.

"So you came to my house to take refuge?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yeah, let's stop by for breakfast," Shi Xiaohan put his hands on his hips, raised his chin and said with a smile, "I remember that you still owe me several meals. You said you would pay it back."

Today she was wearing a light purple pleated skirt, plain white embroidered shoes, no makeup or jewelry.

The whole person looks like a delicate lilac flower.

"Indeed," Gu Xu smiled and nodded, "It's just that my cooking skills are not good. I hope you can forgive me, Heroine Shi."

"Hmph, I'm not as picky as you, this heroine." Shi Xiaohan curled his lips.

At the same time, she also took out three bottles of "Eternal Brightness Pill" from her pocket and stuffed them into Gu Xu's hand.

"Gu Xu, congratulations on your promotion to the second level," she looked up at Gu Xu at a 45-degree angle, her almond-shaped eyes clear and translucent, "This is a reward for you. By the way, don't refuse!"

Gu Xu took the "Eternal Brightness Pill" and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Heroine Shi!"

At this time, he has deeply realized that accepting favors from others can only happen for the first time and countless times.

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

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

He understood that if he wanted to reach the seventh level before he was thirty, he would need many, many pills.

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

…………

A few minutes later, Gu Xu put two "healthy breakfasts" on the table——

Two bowls of red date oatmeal porridge, two hard-boiled eggs and two apples.

Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly: "Your breakfast...is lighter than what my grandfather usually eats."

Gu Xu smiled: "You know, my health has never been good, and I can't stand heavy-flavored food... I will try to eat some when I go to restaurants."

Shi Xiaohan was silent for a long time.

"Gu Xu, I really admire you." She sighed and said.

"Why?" Gu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"For me, if I don't eat chili peppers or coriander for a long time... I will die sooner or later," Shi Xiaohan licked his lips and replied, "You are really persevering to insist on eating these things every day!"

…………

However, although Shi Xiaohan was obsessed with chili peppers, she still ate every bit of Gu Xu's "healthy breakfast" and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

From time to time, he would also praise Gu Xu for his "good cooking skills".

It can be seen that she has a great love for all food.

After both of them finished eating, Gu Xu called the little book boy on the screen and asked him to wash the dishes.

Shi Xiaohan stared at the little book boy for a while and said, "'Enchant the eyes'... Gu Xu, I didn't expect you to master such a magical spell!"

Gu Xu replied: "Fantastic skills and ingenuity are not worth mentioning."

Shi Xiaohan narrowed his eyes: "Actually, I thought that after you learned this kind of magic, you would draw yourself some beautiful maids!"

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

Shi Xiaohan chuckled: "You guy, you really only have missions and training in your mind."
