Parking the car in the parking lot in front of the restaurant, Gu Yuan opened the mirror and adjusted his hair style. He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Entering the restaurant, a waiter wearing a vest immediately walked up to him. Gu Yuan reported his reserved seat and was then taken over by the waiter.
Xia Youzhi, who was wearing a white loose sweater, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Her thin down jacket was hung behind the chair. When she saw Gu Yuan, she waved her hands vigorously, as if she was afraid that Gu Yuan would not see her.
When Gu Yuan sat down, Xia Youzhi watched the waiter walk away, then stretched his neck forward and whispered: "Why did you book this restaurant? I just took a look at the menu and was scared to death. It's so expensive!"
Gu Yuan looked at Xia Youzhi's expression at this moment and couldn't help but laugh, and took the menu from the other person's hand.
"It's okay, just treat it as a good meal. Besides, it's just a meal. How expensive can it be?" Gu Yuan glanced at the menu and felt a little bit in his heart.
Damn it! How expensive!
But then I thought about it, I have money now!
It's very reasonable to take Xia Youzhi to have a good meal!
Xia Youzhi looked around and found that most of the people who came here to eat were in pairs, so he asked curiously: "How do you know about this place? Who have you eaten with before?"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I've never been here before, this is my first time, I asked Fang Yu what's good about it, and he recommended this place to me - I'm so stupid, really, how could I believe him... …”
Although Gu Yuan is very rich now, his consumption concept is still the same as before. He will not save where he should spend, and he will not spend indiscriminately where he should save.
After saying a few words to Fang Yu, Gu Yuan took a sip of the black tea brought by the waiter. Everyone said that black tea is warm and nourishes the stomach, but he has never liked it very much. In comparison, he prefers green tea. Sweet and astringent taste.
After ordering a steak Wellington and another Austro dragon, Gu Yuan handed the menu to Xia Youzhi. Xia Youzhi hesitated and finally ordered a salad.
"You have lost weight recently!" She said to Gu Yuan with a smile.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to take the menu and order two more items before handing the menu to the waiter next to him.
Xia Youzhi drank the juice and asked doubtfully: "Is today a good day?"
Although Xia Youzhi is now working and starting to get paid, and the salary is not low, such a meal that costs two to three thousand is still too high in her opinion.
"Well... if you want to talk about a good life, I probably got rich a while ago."
"Suddenly rich? Did you get a bonus? How much did you earn?" Xia Youzhi suddenly became interested.
"you guess."
"Ten thousand?"
"Guess again."
"One hundred thousand?"
"Keep guessing."
"No more guessing, you started bragging." Xia Youzhi rolled her eyes at him.
Gu Yuan laughed.
If Xia Youzhi saw the balance of the card Yi Sanqiu gave him, he would probably have to persuade Gu Yuan to surrender on the spot and change his mind and become a better person...
During the meal, Xia Youyi would talk about his situation in the company, the interesting things he encountered in the past two days, and then talk about the grand occasion of Wenxin Temple in the recent period.
"Xiao Yuanzi, when we are done with this period of time, let's go to Wenxin Temple together!" Xia Youzhi said, "At that time, there shouldn't be that many people in Wenxin Temple, right? By the way, my mother also said I’m going with my second aunt, we’ll be together then!”
"Hmm...ok." Gu Yuan smiled.
Of course he knew what was going on at Wenxin Temple, but he didn't say it out loud. Telling the truth was not a shortcoming, except for being a disappointment.
After dinner, the two of them went to enjoy the wind together. Seeing that the New Year was coming soon, Star City was also getting colder.
Gu Yuan didn't feel anything wrong himself, but seeing that Xia Youzhi's clothes seemed a little thin, he immediately took off his coat and added another layer to her.
"Xiao Yuanzi, do you have something to say to me?" Xia Youzhi looked at him with a smile.
"ah?"
"Okay! Stop pretending. You looked absent-minded tonight. I saw it when we were eating. You hesitated to speak several times. Just say what you have to say!" You can’t hide secrets in front of me.”
Gu Yuan turned his face and looked across the road.
"Xiao Xia."
"Um?"
"Do you think this world is scary?"
Xia Youzhi was a little confused, but he was not in a hurry to ask, and just followed Gu Yuan's words first.
"No? Why do you say that?"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and gently held Xia Youzhi's cold hand.
"Before, I thought this world was pretty good, but since I became extraordinary, I found that this world is much scarier than I thought. Perhaps, the number of demons in this world far exceeds our imagination, but when we are still Ordinary people don't notice this at all, and of course, they don't need to care about it."
Xia Youzhi just listened quietly and did not interrupt Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan continued: "But after becoming extraordinary, entering the Martial Arts Academy, and joining the Demon Suppression Division, I felt that some powerful demons were too scary. So, sometimes it is really good to be an ordinary person, and there is no need to go If you think so much, you don’t need to deal with so much, what do you think?”
"What, do you think your current job is too tiring and dangerous? It doesn't matter. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. It's not like you can't find another job." Xia Youzhi quickly comforted her.
Gu Yuan glanced at Xia Youzhi.
The other party has completely misunderstood...
However, this cannot be blamed on Xia Youzhi, it is entirely due to his own expressive ability.
"Xiaoxia, I want to ask you, are you satisfied with your current life?"
Xia Youzhi was a little confused.
Gu Yuan's question was indeed a bit too abrupt.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I am satisfied. I think life is pretty good now. I go to and from get off work every day, nine to five, and I also learned a lot at work."
"real?"
"Of course! I have become familiar with my colleagues in the company now. Xiao Min's father, the boss of our company, still takes good care of me. This is also for your sake!" Xia Youzhi said , “In the past, my colleagues in the company felt that I was not qualified enough and were still a little unconvinced with me, but now they are very supportive of my work.”
Hearing Xia Youzhi's words, Gu Yuan suddenly felt much more relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"That's good."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's nothing. You still remember the last time we met Tiangong... Oh, it was that female swordsman. You were able to control her flying sword and hit the pillar with a bang."
Xia Youzhi chuckled: "Of course I remember it, but it's a pity that I didn't take it at the time."
"Well, some time ago, the master of the Sword Sect, one of my seniors told me that you are most likely to be some kind of Sword Spirit Holy Body, and you are very suitable to become a sword cultivator. However, that road is too dangerous. Life like this is quite good now. Yes." Gu Yuan said easily, "Now that I know what you think, I feel relieved."
As he was talking, Gu Yuan suddenly noticed that Xia Youzhi had stopped.
He turned his face and looked at Xia Youzhi.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I'm not afraid!" She looked at Gu Yuan, her voice filled with stubbornness and determination.
This time, Gu Yuan was stunned.
