Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Gu Ling was about to refuse when he suddenly heard Xu Yanqing's voice: "Gu Ling."

Xu Yanqing looked straight ahead, ignoring Chen Guan, and spoke to Gu Ling: "Didn't you say you were going to eat? Let's go."

Chen Guan got angry when he saw Xu Yanqing, and his stomach seemed to be aching again. Not only did Xu Yanqing not avoid him, but she even dared to come to him?

"Xu Yanqing!"

"My classmate." Gu Ling smiled and blocked Xu Yanqing behind him, "Do you have any opinion about my friend?"

The tall and slender girl was not as noble as Xu Yan, nor did she look as strong as him, but she stood firmly in front of him, protecting him like a guardian.

Xu Yanqing stroked the peach wood bracelet on his left wrist, a little absent-minded.

Chen Guan emphasized the word "friend". Looking at Gu Ling's protective attitude, he felt indignant, but could only say, "Of course not. If you figure it out, you can contact me anytime."

Gu Ling stared at the business card in front of her, thinking that it would be better to keep the unstable factor under her nose, but before she raised her hand completely, the person she was protecting behind her suddenly moved, as if to leave.

So she raised her hand but didn't take the business card. Instead, she grabbed someone's wrist. This time, she controlled the strength of the hand and made sure not to make the wrist red.

Gu Ling smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested. We have something else to do. Let's go first!"

Chen Guan watched the two people go away, squeezed the unsent business card tightly, and threw it on the ground, his face gloomy: "Xu, Yan, Qing!"

Xu Yanqing let Gu Ling pull him out of the school gate, thinking: Once again, Gu Ling chose him without hesitation.

Having dinner together was just an excuse. During this period of time, it was Gu Ling who took the initiative to contact him, and there was no such thing as a dinner appointment.

When he saw Gu Ling and Chen Guan talking, he walked up and said those words in a fit of anger. He felt a little regretful, but when he saw Gu Ling defending him, he felt a rare ripple in his heart.

But this ripple disappeared without a trace when he noticed that Gu Ling wanted to take Chen Guan's business card.

He would not accept someone who was on good terms with Chen Guan as his friend.

Xu Yanqing looked at Gu Ling holding his hand, and suddenly felt that maybe it was a good thing to have such a friend.

Maintain you, protect you, choose you.

No one can refuse such a friend.

At this moment, Gu Ling was secretly proud of herself: Fortunately, she noticed in time that Xu Yanqing was unhappy and did not accept the business card, otherwise how could she have the opportunity to stick to him?

System: "Bah! You are just greedy for beauty!"

Gu Ling: "Everyone loves beauty, but you, as a system, won't understand."

Gu Ling in this world is an absolute face-controller. She can beat up Wang Daniu, so naturally she can be more considerate of Xu Yanqing because of his looks.

There is a difference between task objects and pretty task objects.

Hot pot restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with people and filled with steam. This kind of environment with a strong atmosphere of fireworks gave Xu Yanqing a great sense of security. However, Xu Yanqing had never had the experience of eating out alone with a friend, especially when the other party was a girl.

After sitting down, Xu Yanqing always felt a little uncomfortable. He said "OK", "No problem", "All right" to everything Gu Ling asked him. His eyes were a little erratic, and suddenly they were fixed on one place, which was a family of three eating hot pot diagonally opposite.

The little boy, about seven or eight years old, had a greasy mouth and in his left hand was holding a children's toy given by the hot pot restaurant. His parents looked at him lovingly and fed him from time to time.

Such a warm and ordinary scene made Xu Yanqing feel uncomfortable. If he didn't have this inexplicable ghost-absorbing physique, he would have grown up carefree like that little boy, instead of being forced to stay away from his family and being cautious even when approaching them.

He was so absorbed in watching that when he came to his senses, he found that Gu Ling opposite him had disappeared. He frowned and looked around, and the corner of his clothes was gently tugged. He lowered his head and saw a teddy bear doll wearing a red sweater.

The doll was about the size of two adult's palms and was held by Gu Ling to block her face. A strange voice came from behind the little bear.

"Hello! My name is Xiaohong. Do you want to take me home?"

Xu Yanqing didn't react, and Gu Ling was a little embarrassed, but as long as Gu Ling reacted fast enough, the embarrassment would not catch up with her.

Before Xu Yanqing could figure out the situation, Gu Ling stood up from his squatting position, stuffed the little bear into his arms, and said to himself, "As long as you agree, this bear is yours."

Xu Yanqing: ???

Gu Ling ignored him and started putting ingredients into the pot. He caught a glimpse of Xu Yanqing smiling and said smugly, "I knew you liked it."

It was worth her running all the way to the store to buy this bear. There was no other way, because the adults didn't have any children's toys to give away.

Xu Yanqing touched Xiaohong's head and looked at the little bear's red sweater, lost in thought: "Um... can I give it a new name?"

Gu Ling was silent, Gu Ling was sad, and Gu Ling felt wronged.

Isn't it good to call her Xiaohong? What a fitting name!

Xu Yanqing clenched his fist and put it against his lips, hiding the corners of his lips that kept rising, and his tone could not hide his smile: "Forget it, it's actually quite cute."

Whether it is people or things.

The young man, who always had a gloomy look in his eyes, relaxed his brows and raised his light-colored lips into an upward arc, as if a black and white painting was painted with color. Everything around him was blurred, leaving only the young man's smile.

Gu Ling suddenly lowered his head and drank the iced sour plum soup in the cup in one breath, calming down a little.

Really, why are you smiling so beautifully?

It was already late when we finished eating hotpot. The dreamy sunset covered the sky with a colorful glow, and pedestrians on the road were hurrying.

Night is coming.

Ghosts are about to appear.

Xu Yanqing: "I..."

"I heard there's an event at Xingcheng Square tonight." Gu Ling looked at him, "Want to go and see it together?"

In just a short while, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon. Although the clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, the sky suddenly darkened.

Xu Yanqing clenched the little bear in his hand, and the soft doll was slightly deformed by his squeezing. He loosened his grip as if awakened. The peach wood bracelet on his wrist swayed slightly due to his movements. He suddenly remembered Gu Ling Tianshi's identity, so he nodded slightly.

Xingcheng Plaza is some distance away from here, so they first chose to take a taxi.

After a while, a yellow taxi slowly stopped by the roadside. Gu Ling walked up and knocked on the car window. A hidden golden light flashed. She turned around and said to Xu Yanqing seriously, "The windows of this car are of poor quality. Let's wait for the next one."

Gu Ling complained in his heart, are ghosts so dedicated these days? They are out doing business just after dark?

Xu Yanqing keenly sensed something. He glanced at the driver's window, silently took a step back and nodded, while Gu Ling silently let go of the evil spirit on his body.
