Lin Xiaoxiao's life is like a double-sided brocade. During the day, she is an ordinary college student, but at night, she transforms into a supernatural problem solver fighting alongside Gu sha. This dual identity fills her life with excitement and secrets, but it also brings increased pressure and loneliness.
One late night, Lin Xiaoxiao sits on the windowsill of her room, gazing at the twinkling stars outside. She fiddles with the silver pendant necklace she always wears, a symbol of her connection to another world and an unspoken agreement between her and Gu sha.
During this time, Lin Xiaoxiao has increasingly felt the cost of keeping this secret. She found herself growing distant from friends, and even family. Whenever they asked about her whereabouts at night, she always evaded the question, which made her feel a great sense of guilt."
On a previous quiet night, Lin Xiaoxiao had just returned home from a mission fighting alongside Gu sha, and her mood was unusually complex. As soon as she stepped through the door, her brother Lin Xiaodong came up to her, his brow furrowed.
"Sis, where did you go again? Every time I ask you, you say you went out with friends, but when I called your friends, they said you didn't go with them," Lin Xiaodong's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang in her heart. She knew her brother was very smart and cared a lot about her, but she couldn't share this secret. "Oh, um... I suddenly changed my plans and went to the library to study for an exam," she tried to say in the most natural tone, but she knew how forced this lie sounded.
Lin Xiaodong frowned incredulously, "The library? This late? Sis, I'm not a kid anymore. You don't have to keep hiding things from me. If you're in trouble or facing any difficulties, we can solve it together."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her brother's serious and caring eyes, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. "Xiaodong, I really appreciate your concern, but I assure you, everything is fine. I just have some special research topics recently, so I may be going out often."
She turned around wanting to enter the room, avoiding the topic, but Lin Xiaodong held her hand. "Sis, you know, no matter what happens, I will support you. I just hope you won't keep anything from me."
Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks, looked deeply at her brother, feeling extremely grateful, but she understood that there were some things she had to bear alone. "Xiaodong, I know, and I'm very grateful to you. But there are some things that I really can't say yet. But please believe me, I will be careful."
Looking at her younger brother, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt some reluctance, but ultimately chose to believe in his eyes. She felt a wave of powerlessness. She knew deeply that the path of her double life would become increasingly difficult, but in order to protect the balance of this world, she was willing to endure it all.
Turning around and walking into the room, closing the door, Lin Xiaoxiao leaned against it, taking a deep breath. She had to be stronger, not only for herself, but also for the one she loved and the people she loved. And for now, at least, she could only bear this secret alone.
At that moment, the phone vibrated, and it was a message from Gu sha: "Are you free tonight? There's something I need to talk to you about."
Lin Xiaoxiao read the message and felt a stir in her heart. She knew that Gu sha wouldn't disturb her at this time unless it was something really important. She quickly replied: "I'm free, let's meet at the usual place."
The old place is a secluded teahouse, a place where they discuss missions or gather privately. Walking into the teahouse, the warm lighting and faint tea aroma calm the mood. Gu sha is already there waiting for her, nodding slightly as she enters.
After Lin Xiaoxiao sits down, Gu sha gets straight to the point: "I noticed that you seem troubled lately. Is it because the mission is putting pressure on you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and said frankly, "It's not just the pressure of the mission, but also the fact that I can't be open with my friends and family about this job. I'm starting to feel like I'm living a completely opposite life."
Gu sha was silent for a moment, then said, "I can understand how you feel. This job itself is full of danger, and having to conceal your identity will indeed make you feel lonely and oppressed."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at Gu sha: "So what should I do? I don't want to hurt the people around me because of my own choices."
Gu sha gazed at her with determination: "We need to find a balance, perhaps by choosing to trust certain people and telling them the truth. Of course, this requires great caution, but I believe that instead of fighting alone, it's better to face it together."
Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, knowing that Gu sha was right. She needed to be brave to face these choices, perhaps only then could she lighten the burden in her heart.
"Thank you, Gu sha. I will consider it carefully," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile. In that moment, she felt stronger than ever before.
This late-night conversation gave Lin Xiaoxiao great determination. She realized that, although the cost of the secret was heavy, as long as Gu Sha was by her side, she would no longer face everything alone.
Lin Xiaoxiao decided to share this secret with the people she trusts at the right time. She believes that this decision will make her life brighter.
Gu sha, as her strongest support, has always been by her side. No matter what, they will hold onto this world and bear the secret together.
Following Gu sha's suggestion, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved. She could no longer escape and had to face and solve the problem. After careful consideration, she decided to confess everything to the person she trusted the most - her brother, Lin Xiaodong.
The next evening after dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao found a suitable moment and invited Lin Xiaodong to her room, with a serious expression, indicating that she had something important to share with him.
"Xiaodong, you asked me earlier why I always go out at night, why I always seem hesitant... I think it's time to tell you the truth," Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her tone tinged with a hint of hesitation.
Lin Xiaodong looked surprised, but quickly showed a concerned expression: "Sis, you haven't run into any trouble, have you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in her smile: "No, it's not trouble... it's a path I chose for myself. You know, I've always been interested in supernatural phenomena. In fact... I've joined a team that specializes in dealing with these issues."
Lin Xiaodong's eyes widened, and for a while, he couldn't speak. He had never imagined that his ordinary sister would have such an extraordinary identity.
"Lin Xiaoxiao continued, 'This job is very dangerous and hard, but I find it very meaningful. I've been hiding it because I was worried that you and our family would be concerned.'"
Lin Xiaodong fell silent for a moment, then said, "Sis, I can understand why you made this decision. But you can't bear all the burdens alone. I may not be able to help much, but I hope you remember that family will always be your strongest support."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes couldn't help but moisten. "Thank you, Xiaodong. I'm lucky to have a brother like you."
The understanding and support of her younger brother made Lin Xiaoxiao feel an unprecedented warmth. Even though the path of spiritual cultivation is difficult, as long as she has the support of her family, there is nothing she cannot overcome.
From that day on, Lin Xiaoxiao's mood noticeably became much lighter. She no longer needed to worry about hiding secrets, and even though she was between two worlds, she could walk her own path more firmly.
At the same time, Gu sha also noticed the changes in Lin Xiaoxiao, and he could feel the confidence and determination emanating from her. After a mission, Gu sha smiled and said to her, "It seems like you've been in a good mood lately."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, because I've realized that sometimes, honesty may be the best way to solve problems. I've learned that I shouldn't bear everything alone."
Gu sha A faint smile, that is a definite smile: "Your growth is comforting."
The relationship between Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha deepened gradually during the mission. The trust between them became their strongest support for each other.
As time passes, Lin Xiaoxiao truly understands the power of honesty and trust. Her daily life is full of excitement, but now she has learned to face it with a more open attitude.
One day, after completing a particularly difficult mission, the two of them sat resting under a quiet night sky. Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the stars and suddenly said, "Gu sha, have you ever thought about what we would be like if we didn't have these identities?"
Gu sha glanced at her and a pensive expression appeared on her usually calm face: "Perhaps, I would be an ordinary person, doing ordinary work, living an ordinary life."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed: "That would be too boring! I think you could totally be a superhero, always ready to save the world."
Gu sha couldn't help but laugh: "A superhero? Then what kind of character would you be?"
"As for me?" Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. "I might be an adventurer, exploring unknown worlds and seeking out new and exciting things."
Gu sha gave a slight smile and looked at her seriously: "No matter which world it is, I believe you will always be the person full of curiosity and courage to practice."
Lin Xiaoxiao was amused by this and lightly pushed Gu sha: "You said that pretty well, but don't think that this will make me forget about you leaving me in the midst of those souls during today's mission!"
Gu sha made an innocent expression: "It's necessary for the strategy. Besides, you're fine, aren't you? And I believe you can handle it."
Lin Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry: "Strategy? Next time, you'll see my 'strategy'!" After that, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In the laughter, Lin Xiaoxiao felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort. The reason why her relationship with Gu Sha could become so strong was precisely because of this trust and understanding where they could talk about anything. No matter what difficulties she faced, she was no longer fighting alone because she had a strong partner by her side.
Under the brilliant starry sky, the laughter of Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu Sha echoed for a long time, and the trust and reliance between them became their strongest support.
Facing the future, whether it's bright or dark, Lin Xiaoxiao is ready. As long as Gu sha is by her side, and as long as she has the support of her family, she has the infinite strength to solve any problem.
And the price of this secret has also become one of the most precious experiences in her life journey.
