Chapter 33 Chapter 33

On New Year's Eve, Xi Bai went out to see Zhuang Suan.

"Take the compass."

Zhuang Suan stuffed his ancestral compass into Xi Bai's hands, and Xi Bai held it nervously.

"I take it?"

Can he do it? He doesn't know any magic.

"Well, after dinner tonight, you and Gu Chi said you want to take a walk."

Zhuang Suan began to tell Xi Bai about his plan.

Although the compass can point to the evil spirit, it is not as easy as just holding it to detect it, especially according to Zhuang Suan's analysis. Xi Bai said that Gu Chi has body temperature and breathing, and looks the same as a human. If he is a ghost, he must have a very deep cultivation.

Therefore, Zhuang Suan also needs to "take advantage of the situation."

There is a mountain that can be climbed in the dormitory area of ​​Beicheng University. In spring and summer, when the sun has not set after 7 o'clock in the evening, people often walk there to digest their food. Everyone thinks that the hillside is very comfortable to walk .

According to Zhuang Shu's observations when he came to Beicheng University last time, that mountain is the "pulse" of Beicheng University and the core of Feng Shui.

Zhuang Suan's power is too small, and he alone cannot exert a strong power on the compass.

So this time, he wants to borrow the "power of the mountain spirit."

"After you finish your meal, say that you are a little full and want to walk on that mountain. I will set up a magic circle in the mountain. You only need to take the compass and approach Gu Chi. When he is not paying attention, burn this talisman paper."

Zhuang Suan said, and stuffed Xi Bai with a paper talisman written in cinnabar. To borrow power, one needs to arrange the formation. Zhuang Suan ’s

skills are not good enough, so he can’t borrow the power of the mountain spirit at will. He can only find a secluded place to meditate and arrange the formation. Therefore, the operation of the compass can only depend on Xibai. Xibai nodded, indicating that he understood. "Go back quickly, it’s time for you to eat." Zhuang Suan glanced at the watch and said. When Xibai returned to the dormitory, there was a paper bag on the table. Gu Chi poked his head out from behind the balcony door. "Is this for me?" Xibai took the bag, opened it and took a look inside. It was a sweater. Gu Chi nodded, "New Year's gift." When humans cross the New Year, they always like to give each other gifts to express their feelings - this is what Xie Bian told him. Xibai took out the clothes and found that it was a co-branded model of his favorite plush dog. He had seen the joint promotion on the Internet some time ago, but he had never had the time to go to the store to check it out. There was a familiar smell of pine detergent on the clothes, so they must have been washed. Xi Bai pinched the collar and took a look at the size, thinking that Gu Chi was quite good at shopping, how did he know that he usually wore this size. Gu Chi went into the bathroom and didn't know what he was doing. There was no one in the room, so Xi Bai put on the sweater directly. When his head struggled to get out of the collar, he saw through the few strands of hair stuck to his forehead by static electricity that Gu Chi had returned. He was still wearing the same clothes as him. The only difference was that the print on Gu Chi's chest was a smiling big dog, while the one on Xi Bai's chest was a sleeping big dog. The three words "couple outfit" rushed directly into his mind. Xibai stood there in a daze, while Gu Chi had already walked in front of him. Although they were wearing the same style of clothes, the sizes of their clothes might differ by two or three sizes. Gu Chi reached out and adjusted the hair that Xibai had stuck to his forehead, but his eyes were on Xibai's waist. "The size the clerk recommended seems to be just right." He said, while gesturing with his two hands clenched. Xibai: ... He seemed to have guessed how Gu Chi bought clothes in his size. Xibai was a restless sleeper, and sometimes he fell asleep with his back to Gu Chi, and when he woke up, his face was buried in his chest muscles. Occasionally, when he twisted and turned, Gu Chi would press his waist with his hands, and Xibai would be obedient. Xibai himself didn't know, but Gu Chi told him. When he first heard about his problem, the two of them were not that familiar with each other. Xibai blushed and kept apologizing to Gu Chi. Gu Chi just touched his nose and said it was okay. But now. Xibai's mind is full of Gu Chi stretching out his two hands to gesture with the clerk, saying something like "his waist is about this thin", and asking the clerk to choose the size of clothes for him. This guy is really good at it. "You bought the same one for me and yourself." Xibai bit her lower lip and said. Gu Chi hummed, "This one looks good." So it's just good-looking. Am I overthinking again? Xibai said, "Oh," and took out his cell phone. "Did I call a taxi?" "No need." Gu Chi held his hand, "I drove a car." "You can drive?" Xibai was stunned. Gu Chi didn't say anything. To be honest, I just learned it. Because I don't know how to explain, or what to explain, so he can only look straight at Xibai. But I don't know if it's because his appearance is too aura, so when he lowered his eyes and looked at Xibai silently, he seemed a little speechless after being questioned. Well, did he think that I underestimated him? Xibai smiled and tried to smooth things over, pushing the man out, "Let's go." He came to his senses and found that his hand had already grabbed Gu Chi's arm. Even though there were several pieces of clothes in between, he could still feel the innermost, strong muscles full of power through the pressure of his fingertips. It was a completely subconscious action just now. Xibai instinctively raised his head to look, but Gu Chi withdrew his gaze before him. Touching his nose, Gu Chi hummed and said, "Let's go."

Xibai saw that he seemed not to notice his actions, so he secretly held on to him for a while before letting go.

Gu Chi went to the parking lot to drive the car. Xibai put on the hood of his sweater, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhuang Suan.

[White: Gu Chi actually bought a car. I thought he couldn't drive.]

He saw that Gu Chi seemed to be out of touch with society on weekdays, and he didn't expect that he could drive.

One of the reasons why he doubted whether Gu Chi was a human before was because he didn't seem to know a lot about many modern things. Xibai also felt that Gu Chi was like a rich boy who was raised in a secluded paradise.

Zhuang Suan's focus was on something else.

[The Divine Calculator: What brand? ]

Xibai didn't know much about cars, but he recalled the time when Gu Chi took the key just now.

[White: It looks like two wings, a little flat]

Soon Zhuang Suan sent four or five car logos.

[The God of Calculation: Which one?]

Xibai chose one of them to reply.

Zhuang Suan: ...

A limited edition of Aston Martin.

Gu Chi's car drove over and Xibai got in the passenger seat.

He still had his phone in his hand, and as soon as he sat down, he lowered his head and said:

[The God of Calculation: If you marry into a wealthy family, don't forget your brothers]

A gaze came from the side, and Xibai was immediately stimulated.

He turned his head to meet Gu Chi's gaze, and his movements were a little stiff.

Gu Chi looked at him.

"Seat belt."

Xibai said, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fastened the seat belt, and he lowered his head again.

[The Divine Calculator: Hug me, rich woman]

Xibai closed his eyes.

When he calmed down and opened his eyes again, Zhuang Suan had already started to chant.

[The Divine Calculator: May Gu Chi not be a ghost tonight. May I marry into a wealthy family and become Mrs. Gu...]

Xibai: …………

[The Divine Calculator: I'm going to set up the formation, come on! ]

[White: Hurry up! ]

After thinking about it, Zhuang Suan went to set up the formation in the cold wind on New Year's Eve for him.

So the soft-hearted Xibai added another sentence.

[White: Remember to eat, keep warm]

[The Divine Calculator: My meal is not important]

[The Divine Calculator: The meal you and Gu Chi have is the most delicious! ]

Xibai: ...

You're still hungry!

Gu Chi drove the car and occasionally glanced at Xibai with his peripheral vision.

The thin boy sat next to him, looking at the phone on his lap.

Not knowing what he saw, Xibai's mouth twitched silently from time to time, and his ears turned red from time to time, smiling shyly. His

expression changed, rich and vivid.

Gu Chi stretched out one hand and touched the smiling big dog on his chest.

So cute.

※

Because Zhuang Suan was still waiting there, Xibai ate this dinner very quickly.

So when he hurriedly got up and wanted to tell Gu Chi to go back to school, there was still a lot of unfinished food on the plate in front of him.

Xibai sat down again.

"Xibai, what's wrong with you?" Gu Chi put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, "Is there something urgent?"

Xibai: "No! Nothing!"

He picked up the chopsticks at hand and picked up a piece of chicken for Gu Chi, "This one is tender, you eat this one."

Gu Chi hummed, picked up the meat Xibai gave him, and ate it seriously.

Xibai was a little worried about Zhuang Suan's situation, so he took the time to send a message.

[White: How is the progress over there? ]

Zhuang Suan is probably busy and hasn't replied for a long time.

Xibai held his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window boredly. His fingers on the table tapped lightly, causing ripples on the surface of the glass of water in his hand.

His eyes swept forward and paused.

He picked up the glass and took a sip.

Xibai suddenly realized that instead of being anxious, it would be better to appreciate Gu Chi's eating habits for a while.

Although he is a large dog, Gu Chi does not eat roughly. Instead, he is very elegant, which is completely inconsistent with his identity as a gym student.

Just like Xibai said, it feels like Gu Chi is a nobleman who grew up in a paradise.

The fingers holding the silver chopsticks are slender, and the nails are trimmed very neatly. Coupled with the face that looks particularly noble when he lowers his eyes and eats quietly, the bending and stretching of the fingertips are as artistic as a painting.

[The Fortune Teller: Not so soon, you are coming back?]

Xibai picked up the phone and typed.

[White: No, no hurry]

Glancing at Gu Chi who was still eating slowly, he sent another message.

[White: Can you go a little slower?]

The other side's plan:

"Do I need to eat faster?"

Gu Chi suddenly raised his head. Xi Bai was just thinking about his phone. The moment he raised his head, he was caught off guard and looked into his eyes.

"No, no."

Maybe it was because the lighting in the restaurant was dim. The pair of eyes that were extremely clear and clean in the past now showed a rare depth that was hard to fathom.

Xi Bai felt inexplicably guilty when he was looked at. He put the phone back on the table and added with a floating look.

"Anyway, it's just the two of us staying together tonight..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that this could be interpreted as a very ambiguous sentence.

But Gu Chi may not have understood.

He did not have any special reaction, similar to blushing and shyness. He was stunned for a moment, then bent his eyes and showed Xi Bai a big smile, showing his two pointed fangs.

"Well, tonight it's just the two of us celebrating the New Year together."

The smile was so pure that it was hard not to be moved.

But the attitude that can always be interpreted as "just good friends" also makes people hard not to be upset.

A New Year's Eve dinner lasted until nearly twelve o'clock in the evening.

Many stores do not close on New Year's Eve, and young people of this era seem to prefer to count down with friends of the same age to say goodbye to the past year that left too many regrets or memories.

Maybe it's because there are more carbohydrates in the food, or maybe it's because the heating in the house is too strong.

Xi Bai yawned in the wind when he went out, and a hint of coldness fell on the back of his raised hand as he stretched his waist.

Rain?

Xi Bai subconsciously withdrew his hand to take a look at the back of his hand, but his eyes first locked on Gu Chi beside him.

He was raising one hand, and in his palm, he caught a falling snowflake.

It was snowing.

Gu Chi stopped and looked at his palm.

His body temperature quickly melted the snowflakes like frost crystal petals and turned them into a drop of clear water.

The snow was falling fast, and in a few breaths, it turned from sparse snowflakes into goose feathers all over the sky, covering Gu Chi's long eyelashes.

White frost obscured his black pupils. Gu Chi stood in the snow that was gradually piling up. His tall figure and wandering eyes formed a painting that made people reluctant to disturb.

Xi Bai just stood beside him, looking at him quietly.

He didn't even notice the snow falling on his eyelashes.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Chi's eyes flickered slightly.

He turned his head to look at Xi Bai, who was also looking at him.

The thin boy seemed to be in a trance. Their eyes met each other's almost tacit understanding in an instant. At this moment, there seemed to be thousands of words to say, but when they were about to say them, they were hidden behind their eyes.

Gu Chi has seen many springs and autumns, and has gone through countless winters and summers.

But I have always been alone, walking alone in the years.

But this year seems to be different.

So, on this New Year's Eve in the deep winter, when the first snow is sending off the old year, Gu Chi is very serious and even a little devout to say to the person next to him.

"Happy New Year, Xibai*."

I also hope that I will still be by your side in the years to come.
