As time passed, Lin Xiaoxiao found herself feeling anxious under the pressure of keeping a secret. Her daily life seemed overshadowed by this secret, making her feel both heavy and lonely. On campus, her smile still appeared bright, but her eyes concealed an unspeakable secret. Whenever friends talked about everyday things, she could only smile perfunctorily, while a storm raged in her heart.
One afternoon, Lin Xiaoxiao sat alone in a corner of the school library, staring blankly out the window. The dappled sunlight outside reflected on her face, creating an interplay of light and shadow. She held a book in her hand, but her thoughts had long drifted away. She wondered whether her unusual relationship with Gu sha and her dual identity would bring her more trouble.
At that moment, her good friend Zhang Siyao walked over gently and asked with concern, "Xiao Xiao, what's been bothering you lately? You always seem so preoccupied." Lin Xiaoxiao was interrupted from her reverie by the sudden care and quickly composed herself, forcing a smile as she replied, "It's nothing, maybe I've just been a bit tired lately."
Zhang Siyao didn't buy it, sitting down beside her and gently saying, "If there's anything bothering you, you can tell me. Don't bear it alone." Looking at Zhang Siyao's caring eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao felt touched, but she knew there were some things she couldn't confide in her friend. She could only shake her head lightly and say, "I really am fine, thank you for your concern."
The next day, Gu sha suddenly appeared in front of her. His appearance was always abrupt, yet graceful. He looked at her coldly, his tone carrying an unquestionable seriousness: "Xiao Xiao, we need to talk. Your dual identity may bring you a lot of trouble."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a tightness in her chest, knowing that Gu sha was not speaking without reason. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the panic in her heart, and answered firmly, "I know this is not simple, but I am prepared. Whatever I may face, I will not back down."
Gu sha nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He said lightly, "I hope so. The boundary of the Yin and Yang realms is not easily crossed, you must be careful."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Gu sha's stern face, and a strange sense of confidence rose in her heart. This path would not be easy, but she had no retreat. She would face not only her inner struggles, but also the unpredictable dangers ahead.
He looked at her quietly, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes. Gu sha sat across from her and asked softly, " Lin Xiaoxiao, you seem to be troubled lately. Is there something bothering you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at him and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, just a little bit of a worry lately."
Gu sha noticed her hesitation and avoidance, but did not pursue further. He changed the subject, saying, "I'm becoming more and more interested in your world. There are many things in the human world that I have never experienced."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, then she smiled and replied, "If you're interested, I can take you to see our city and experience life here."
Gu sha nodded and his eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. He said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "I am looking forward to getting to know your world more deeply."
So, the two of them decided to go to the city center together that weekend. As they walked along the busy streets, Lin Xiaoxiao introduced Gu sha to various elements of the modern city: towering buildings, bustling crowds, and colorful neon lights.
Gu sha's gaze lingered on every detail, feeling amazed by this vibrant world. When they passed by a coffee shop, Lin Xiaoxiao suggested going in for a sit. The two of them sat by the window, ordered coffee and desserts. Gu sha tasted the coffee and furrowed his brow slightly, "Is this a drink from the human world? The taste is truly unique."
Lin Xiaoxiao explained with a smile, "Yes, this is a drink that many people enjoy. However, everyone has different perceptions of the taste."
Gu sha nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer. They chatted for a long time in the coffee shop, discussing their respective worlds and experiences.
However, as they were preparing to leave, there was suddenly a commotion outside. Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha quickly went out to see, only to find a group of people gathered around, seemingly watching something. As they approached, they discovered that it was a street performer doing acrobatics.
Gu sha seemed very curious about this kind of performance and asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "Is this a common form of entertainment in the human world?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, street performers are very common here. They bring joy to people with their talents."
Just then, a child accidentally knocked over the performer's props, causing a mistake in the performance. The child was scared and started crying, while the street performer appeared somewhat embarrassed and angry.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw this scene and couldn't help but feel nervous. She was worried that this situation would cause unnecessary chaos and even attract restless souls. She said to Gu sha, "We'd better leave here quickly."
Gu sha nodded, and the two of them quickly left the crowd. As they walked home, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a bit heavy-hearted. She began to worry whether her secret identity and abilities would ultimately become an insurmountable barrier between her and Gu sha.
She was silent for a moment, and finally said to Gu sha: "Gu sha, there's something I need to confess to you. I'm not just an ordinary student, I have another identity."
Gu sha looked slightly surprised, but he didn't interrupt her. Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "I am a Yin-Yang Master, responsible for maintaining the balance between the human world and the Underworld. It's a heavy responsibility and a secret I've been hiding."
Gu sha fell silent for a moment, then said, "I know you have an unusual ability, but I didn't realize your responsibility was so great. Lin Xiaoxiao, you don't have to hide anything from me, I will support you."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes as she softly said, "Thank you, Gu sha. With your support, I no longer feel alone."
That night, Lin Xiaoxiao was quietly contemplating at home. Her secret identity might bring her more difficulties, but at the same time, she felt a sense of comfort - with Gu Sha by her side, she no longer felt as lonely and helpless.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a determination rising in her heart. She must become stronger to face the challenges that may lie ahead.
The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao invited Gu Sha to go for a walk in her favorite park. The park was shaded by green trees, filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers, giving a sense of tranquility and peace. They walked slowly along the park's paths, occasionally stopping to admire the beautiful scenery.
Gu Sha looked at the scenery in front of her and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "This is truly a beautiful world."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yes, this is where I relax. Whenever I feel troubled and stressed, I come here to clear my mind."
Gu sha nodded and then asked, "Lin Xiaoxiao, as an onmyoji, you must face many challenges. How do you deal with this pressure?"
Lin Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and replied, "I try to turn these pressures into the driving force to move forward. Although I sometimes feel scared and uncertain, I know I can't give up. Because this is not only my responsibility, but also my way of protecting others."
Gu sha listened and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "You are very strong, Lin Xiaoxiao."
At that moment, a sudden commotion erupted in the park. The two quickly followed the sound and found a group of people gathered around, with a woman seemingly experiencing some kind of distress.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately sensed the unusual atmosphere and said to Gu sha, "That woman carries the aura of the Underworld. We must be careful."
Gu sha nodded in understanding, and then the two of them cautiously approached the group of people. Lin Xiaoxiao observed the situation around her and then slowly approached the woman.
The woman had a vacant look in her eyes, and her body trembled from time to time, as if she were going through some inner struggle. Lin Xiaoxiao said softly, "You'll be okay, I will help you."
She reached out and gently touched the woman's shoulder. A warm energy flowed from her palm, slowly entering the woman's body. The woman's expression gradually relaxed, and the chaotic breath began to dissipate.
At that moment, Gu sha sensed unusual movement around them. He quickly turned around and saw several shadows quietly approaching from the darkness. Gu sha immediately took a defensive stance and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Be careful, it seems we have attracted some unwelcome attention."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, knowing that these souls might have been attracted by the yin energy from the woman. She said to Gu sha, "I will handle these souls, you help protect the people around."
Gu sha nodded in agreement and immediately began guiding the crowd away from here to avoid any harm to them.
Lin Xiaoxiao focused her attention on those few souls. She closed her eyes and began chanting a spell. As her incantation grew louder, beams of light shot out from her hands, directly targeting those souls. The souls emitted sharp, agonizing screams and then, one by one, dissipated into the air.
After dealing with those souls, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Gu sha and found that he had successfully led the crowd out of the danger zone. She walked over to him and said, "Thank you, Gu sha. Without your help, I might not have been able to resolve these issues so smoothly."
Gu sha looked at her with admiration in his eyes: "You did very well, Lin Xiaoxiao. I am surprised by your ability and courage."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and responded: "It's my responsibility. With you by my side, I feel more at ease."
The two of them left the park together, both filled with trust for each other.
