Early in the morning, Ah Zhu looked at herself with short hair in the mirror with great discomfort. Her hand, which was about to tie her hair, was suspended in the air and then fell down.
"Doudou, go!"
Usually when Ah Zhu is not around, Doudou never barks, but now he does not restrain himself. He barks twice and runs downstairs with Ah Zhu. They move very quickly and knock on Xia Xiao's door. The latter comes out lazily, with untidy clothes and messy hair. Seeing Ah Zhu and Doudou come in, Xia Xiao falls to the ground again, mumbling, "Don't be in a hurry, it's not dawn yet, it's too hasty to go to the senior now."
Azhu and Doudou had to wait for a while, but it was boring to just sit there, so they went to Xia Xiao's side.
"Move inside and make some room for me."
Azhu pushed Xia Xiao, and the latter moved very obediently, feeling the other person under the quilt, and pulled him towards him.
Ah Zhu was secretly delighted, but Doudou's expression gradually froze. If it could speak, it would definitely scold Ah Zhu for being unfaithful to a woman. However, in order not to disturb them, it could only sleep beside them, not daring to make any sound.
Xia Xiao had an alarm clock to wake him up on time. When a beam of sunlight shone through the half-drawn curtains, he should get up. He opened his eyes and saw Ah Zhu touching his forehead. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he did not get up immediately. Instead, he kept getting closer to Ah Zhu. The rosy lips made Xia Xiao very yearning, so he moved closer and kissed him.
Ah Zhu hummed, making Xia Xiao's whole body tingle. Her little hand was placed on the latter's chest, but she did not push him away, just cherishing the warm feeling in the quilt. She opened her eyes and closed them again. The two lingered for a long time, making Doudou get off the bed with disgust. Young people nowadays really don't care about others.
When everything paused, Xia Xiao leaned close to Ah Zhu's ear and whispered:
"Good morning."
The candy-like beauty exploded in Ah Zhu's heart like fire, making him angry and annoyed, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"You're so annoying. We agreed to sign a spiritual contract!"
"Don't worry, we'll go find the senior now."
Xia Xiao got up, washed up, and was able to go out soon. As usual, they went to the cafeteria to get food first. The chicken patties and porridge were very tasty.
After finishing the meal, they arrived at the place. They knocked on the door and entered the yard. It was a good time. The lambs were eating grass nearby, and Dimuli was breathing in the air of heaven and earth. The atmosphere was extremely peaceful. Walking to the side, Dimuli threw two apples on the plate to Xia Xiao and Azhu, then sat on the wooden couch and said:
"I won't ask too much about the signing of the spiritual contract. If you don't know, just follow the instructions in the scroll. It's very detailed."
After taking a bite of the apple, Dimuli pushed a scroll to Xia Xiao and continued:
"After the spiritual contract is signed successfully, go back and practice quickly. You have missed too many things. Don't think about other things in this month. Find your own practice rhythm. Xia Xiao, the Fruit Realm requires a lot of accumulation. You have missed a lot during this period. Don't be obsessed with worldly things and miss the right path."
"Youngster understands."
"Azhu, you can't be lazy. If you fall behind in a month, I will punish you."
"Don't worry, senior. I will try my best!"
Ah Zhu was full of fighting spirit and even turned around to leave, but Xia Xiao grabbed him and asked Di Muli:
"Senior, there is something that has troubled me and Azhu for a long time. I think it's time to solve it."
"Tell me about it."
"Azhu's life experience has always been a mystery. Do you think there is any way to solve it?"
Xia Xiao felt that there must be a way. If the academy was helpless, who would dare to say that they had the confidence to solve this mystery? Ah Zhu looked at Xia Xiao, and then at Di Muli, hoping that he could let him know where he came from. Although Ah Zhu was not particularly curious about it, and did not want to find his biological parents, he just wanted to know what country he was from and where he came from, like an obsession.
Although the tangle in Dimuli's eyes was only for a moment, Xia Xiao saw it. Is there something he can't tell? Or did Dimuli already know Ah Zhu's life experience but couldn't tell it for some reason? All of these are possible, but in front of Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, Dimuli still spoke.
"Azhu's life story is rather special, so special that I can't believe it. But if you really want to know, go to the top of the mountain. There is everything you want to know on the top of the mountain."
This was too difficult. In the entire academy, only the vice-president and the senior sister had been there. But when Xia Xiao looked at the distant mountain top, he always felt that as long as Ah Zhu was by his side, he could get there. That kind of self-confidence was extremely blind, and it made him stare at the top of the mountain for a long time, as if he was already there.
"Just take care of the things at hand first. Don't rush into your life story. I don't think you will be happy to know the truth. After all, mysteries can be confusing, but it would be too torturous if the answers were the same."
The more they said this, the more fascinated Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu became. The truth might be something they could not even imagine with their wild imagination. But after they left the yard, they went to the peach forest first. The contracted beast that Hu Bugui prepared for Ah Zhu was waiting for her there, eager to have a sea of stars of his own.
No matter how beautiful the peach forest is, it is dead silent in winter. Xia Xiao and Azhu walked in it, and Doudou followed behind them, listening to their conversation.
"I didn't expect you to still remember my background."
"I'll keep everything about you in my heart and I won't forget it."
Doudou looked up at Xia Xiao. This boy was really good at flirting with girls. Then he looked at Azhu. He looked like a fool with his head down and laughing secretly.
"Like Senior said, we will focus on training for this month, and then we can talk about going to the top of the mountain."
"So long?"
"It's not easy to get to the top of the mountain. So far, only three people have been there."
"Dean, Vice-Dean and Senior Sister?"
"Now that you know this, you should practice hard for a while. Even if you want to create miracles, you still need a certain foundation."
"Okay, I don't want to go anyway since I just signed the spiritual contract."
What attracted Ah Zhu more than his life story was the spiritual contract. They walked eastward in the peach forest and came to a cliff in the mountains. The lonely tree that Hu Bugui mentioned was here.
The peach forest ends at a cold stream. On one side of the gurgling stream, there is a small place where only one person can stand. It is covered with dead grass and the trees are bare, without a single leaf. It is a desolate scene, as if abandoned, lonely and with only one person left. But with the arrival of Ah Zhu, it becomes much more lively, and the wind seems to sing. No matter how cold the place is, she, the sun walking in the world, will not abandon it.
Jumping over the stream, Ah Zhu grabbed the tree trunk with one hand and stretched the other hand into the misty air, as if waving to the big beast in the dreamland. This dangerous action made Doudou scream, as if it was a warning, but Ah Zhu would not listen. She was very bold. Xia Xiao was surprised by her action, but she was full of curiosity, and she should be there soon.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, an extremely loud and ethereal sound, as if coming from the distant sky, echoed throughout the place, making Ah Zhu so excited that he was about to jump up.
“Here it comes!”
