It was late at night, the streetlights dim. Chu Chu stopped and looked into Su Rong's sincere eyes. An inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart. She sighed, but found that she couldn't clearly explain the source of this inexplicable unhappiness. "I don't know, maybe I'm just tired. I'm really not unhappy, I just really want to go home and rest now. I've tried my best to solve your problems. As for the rest, let it go."
Before she finished speaking, Chuchu's tone suddenly became a little stiff, even a little unhappy: "Su Rong, everyone has their own space and emotions. I don't need to report my emotions to you, right? What? Now you want to interfere with my emotions? I suddenly feel that it is better for us to keep some distance." After that, she turned and left without giving Su Rong any chance to refute.
Su Rong froze for a moment, as if frozen in place by an invisible force, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion. He watched Chu Chu dust herself off, and realizing she had no vehicle, he resolutely set out on foot.
Chuchu's figure gradually receded, each step appearing resolute and calm. Until she reached a corner, her figure cleverly disappearing into the blind spot of vision. At this moment, Chuchu looked around, making sure no one was paying attention. Then, she gently unleashed a mysterious power and instantly vanished from the spot, as if blending into the air, leaving no trace.
Su Rong regained consciousness and hurriedly drove after her, his heart surging with an unprecedented rush and curiosity. He stepped on the accelerator, speeding through the empty streets, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no trace of Chuchu. Streetlights flickered by, and the city under the night sky seemed especially quiet and mysterious. Chuchu seemed to have evaporated from this world, completely vanishing from his world.
At this moment, an idea in Su Rong's mind became increasingly clear and firm - Chu Chu, she is definitely not an ordinary person.
Su Rong walked in the night, returning to the apartment building with mixed feelings. He immediately caught sight of the unusual light in Chuchu's room, which was like the brightest star in the night sky, attracting all his attention.
An indescribable urge drove him up the stairs again, his heart beating faster with every step, until he stood in front of the familiar door, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
The door slowly opened, and Chuchu's figure came into view. There was a hint of amusement in her eyes, as if she had already anticipated his arrival.
Su Rong didn't hesitate at all and asked directly, "Chu Chu, you clearly don't have a car, yet you managed to get home before me. How can I not be confused? Who are you? Are you a god high above, or an evil ghost hiding in the shadows?"
A faint smile played across Chuchu's lips, a smile that carried a hint of otherworldly arrogance. She folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the doorframe. Her tone was relaxed, yet it revealed unquestionable strength. "Whether I'm a god or a demon, what do these labels mean to you? I've existed in this world for hundreds of thousands of years, and to me, you're no different from an ant. A slight pinch would dissipate you into nothingness. So, curiosity can sometimes be fatal. You'd better put away that inquisitive mind."
Su Rong was speechless at Chuchu's directness and power, but the fire in his heart didn't die; instead, it burned even brighter. "So, do you have a noble mission in the human world? To uphold justice and rid the world of evil?" He tried to understand Chuchu's existence from another perspective.
Chu Chu heard this, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, as if she felt a little helpless about these problems of mankind. She yawned lightly and shook her head: "The human world is too complicated and too boring. I came here just for the sake of novelty, to see the lives of you short-lived beings. As for the great righteousness you mentioned, I am not interested. Besides, I have completed all the favors you asked me to do before. Our accounts are settled. From now on, I hope we can be like two parallel lines, not interfering with each other."
However, Su Rong did not seem to be ready to give up easily. His eyes flashed with determination: "No, Chuchu, I want to follow you, whether as your partner or assistant, I am willing. I also want to be like you, with the ability to slay demons and protect the world. Please give me a chance."
Chuchu's gaze lingered on Su Rong's face for a moment. In that instant, she seemed to see a familiar figure from her past—Rong Lin, the Heavenly Lord she once admired but ultimately disappointed. But it was only a fleeting moment of detachment. She quickly recovered and shook her head firmly, "No, Su Rong, your path is different from mine. I'm used to being alone and don't need anyone's company. Besides, slaying demons isn't as simple as you imagine. It's fraught with danger and sacrifice. You're not ready yet."
After saying that, Chuchu no longer gave Su Rong any chance to respond. She gently closed the door and isolated him outside.
Su Rong looked at the closed door with mixed feelings, but he knew that he would not give up.
Chuchu lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Others are like fools who want to join the just war.
Fame, wealth and power have long changed the human soul.
It seems that the only reason she is still in the human world is to protect the Gu and Song families.
I fell asleep without realizing it, but I didn't know what time it was in the early morning.
…
As the morning sun quietly peeked through the window, Su Rong's cell phone rang happily, and the caller ID of "Ding Family" flashed on the screen.
I picked up the phone, and the excited and joyful voice of Ding Xiaoyang's mother, Sun Li, came from the other end: "Arong, thank you so much, and that amazing friend! I can't believe it! Xiaoyang... she's completely healed! This morning, she got up earlier than us, which was unprecedented, and the whole family had a warm breakfast together. She was not only full of energy, but also offered to go back to school, saying that her illness had made her miss so much over the years. She also apologized to your Uncle Ding and me, saying that her health had caused us so much trouble in the past. Hearing this, we felt a mixture of emotions, but mostly gratitude and happiness."
Su Rong couldn't help but smile as she listened to Sun Li's words, feeling a surge of warmth and relief. "Auntie, this is truly wonderful! I'm happier than anyone to hear that Xiaoyang has recovered. Seeing her regain her life makes all the hard work worthwhile. You and Uncle Ding can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy every moment with Xiaoyang."
Sun Li's tone was filled with gratitude and anticipation. She continued, "Today is the weekend, and my family has specially prepared a sumptuous meal. I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your friends. I wonder if you could do me the honor of coming over for dinner? It's also a way to celebrate Xiaoyang's new life!"
