Lin Xiaoxiao stepped into the school library, where the quiet and scholarly atmosphere always lifted her spirits. Filled with enthusiasm, she wandered through the bookshelves, searching for books that would inspire her creativity.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated with a message from Zhou Le: "Hey Xiao Xiao, class is over. Want to grab a meal together?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her phone, pondered for a moment, and decided it was time. She replied, "Okay, I'll come over now."
Lin Xiaoxiao closed the book in her hand, hurried out of the library, and headed straight for the school cafeteria. Zhou Le and Zhang Siyao had already found a corner seat and were waiting for her.
"Why did you take so long to come? I almost thought you stood us up." Zhou Le pretended to be angry when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao.
After sitting down, Lin Xiaoxiao helplessly said, "I was just looking for information in the library and lost track of time."
Zhang Siyao asked with concern, "Looking for information? Do you have a new idea for a comic again?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and her expression became serious, "Actually, I called you out today because there is something important I need to tell you."
Zhou Le and Zhang Siyao looked at each other and felt the weight in Lin Xiaoxiao's words, immediately becoming serious.
"I've never mentioned this to anyone before, but after thinking about it for so long, I feel that you have the right to know," Lin Xiaoxiao said, her voice trembling. This was the first time she had shared this secret with anyone outside of her family.
"You said, no matter what, we will support you," Zhang Siyao said gently.
"In fact, there is a part of my life that you don't know..." Lin Xiaoxiao began to tell about her encounter with Gu Sha and her mission between the Yin and Yang realms.
Zhou Le and Zhang Siyao were stunned, completely unable to believe all of this. But looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's serious expression, they knew she wasn't lying.
"Wait, are you saying your boyfriend is the Judge of Underworld?" Zhou Le seemed to still be digesting this astonishing information.
"Not only that, I have also seen all kinds of creatures and phenomena that you can't imagine with your own eyes." Lin Xiaoxiao continued to explain, telling how she helped Gu sha deal with the case of the fleeing ghosts, and her own growth and changes in the process.
Zhang Siyao covered his mouth, shocked: "This... this is too incredible! But, Xiao Xiao, we believe you."
"Wow, this is more exciting than any movie!" Zhou Le finally reacted, still somewhat incredulous, but his eyes were filled with excitement. "So, those stories in the comics, are they all real?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. "Most of the inspiration comes from my own experiences."
Three people's conversation quietly took place in the corner of the cafeteria, and the surrounding noise seemed to have nothing to do with them. Lin Xiaoxiao's mood became much lighter after sharing this secret, she never thought that someone could accept her like this.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao, we will protect your secret to the end," Zhang Siyao said seriously.
Zhou Le also nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, in the future, whatever happens, we can discuss and solve it together."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them, feeling a warm surge in her heart. In this ordinary yet extraordinary afternoon, she felt the power of friendship and was also pleased with her choice.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt at ease and began to recount in detail the process from the first encounter with Gu sha to being involved in a series of supernatural events. She described how they faced adversity together and overcame seemingly unbeatable opponents. Her account was vivid and detailed, prompting both Zhang Siyao and Zhou Le to exclaim and sigh at times.
"Wow, Xiao Xiao, you've really become a superhero!" Zhou Le said half-jokingly, but with a look of admiration in his eyes.
Zhang Siyao is even more emotional: "I know you've always been special, Xiao Xiao. Hearing you say that, we should support you even more. There are many things in this world that we don't know, and it's great to have someone like you guarding them."
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, her mood seeming even more relaxed: "Thank you, I feel very lucky to have friends like you. Actually, I've always been worried that if you knew the truth, you might be afraid and leave me."
Zhou Le waved his hand and said, "How could I easily leave you? Have you forgotten? We have been good friends for many years. How could a little storm blow us down?"
Zhang Siyao firmly said, "No matter what we encounter, we will be together."
This conversation made Lin Xiaoxiao deeply realize that no matter how unusual her life path is, with friends like these by her side, she has infinite strength. On this ordinary yet extraordinary afternoon, Lin Xiaoxiao is certain that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, with this friendship accompanying her, she has nothing to fear. She deeply feels the power of friendship and feels gratified by her choices.
In a corner of the cafeteria, Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhou Le, and Zhang Siyao sit around a table, and the atmosphere becomes even more intimate after Lin Xiaoxiao shares her secret. Lin Xiaoxiao feels an unprecedented sense of ease, knowing that even such an unusual secret cannot break the friendship between them.
"To be honest, I've been thinking, it would be great if I could also meet an Underworld Judge like Gu sha," Zhou Le said half-jokingly, trying to lighten the mood after the heavy conversation.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "You? Learn how to deal with ordinary ghosts first. I don't want to receive a distress call from you in the middle of the night, saying there's some unidentified floating object in your room."
Zhang Siyao also joined in jest: "Yeah, Zhou Le, first clean up the 'ghosts' in your room—those messy things—before considering meeting Judge."
The three looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere became much lighter. Lin Xiaoxiao's mood also became cheerful, and she was grateful to have such friends who could accept the real her and provide unconditional support.
After lunch, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to tell Gu sha the secret, hoping to get his insight. After all, the secret is closely related to him, and she believes Gu sha will give her the right guidance.
That evening, Lin Xiaoxiao made a video call to Gu sha from her room. "Gu sha, I did something very important today."
Gu sha, at the other end of the screen, looked at her calmly and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed and then detailed how she revealed her secret to Zhou Le and Zhang Siyao. She noticed Gu sha's expression change from calm to slightly surprised, and then to thoughtful.
"You did the right thing," Gu Sha's voice was concise and firm. "Trust is the foundation of building relationships, whether it's in the Underworld or the human world. Your choice to be open proves that you have grown a lot."
Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Sha's affirmation made her feel at ease. "But I'm worried it might bring danger to them."
"We will be careful," Gu sha said, "and I will provide help when you need it. Your friends are my friends too."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling a strength she had never felt before. "Thank you, Gu sha. With you here, I feel invincible." Gu sha smiled slightly, a rare sight. Although his expression remained serious, the warmth in his eyes warmed Lin Xiaoxiao's heart.
After the call, Lin Xiaoxiao sat quietly by the window, contemplating her future. The road ahead in life was still long and possibly filled with various dangers, but at the same time, she was clear that with Gu Sha, Zhou Le, and Zhang Siyao by her side, she already had enough courage and strength to face everything.
That night, Lin Xiaoxiao slept particularly soundly. She dreamt of herself and Gu Sha, as well as her friends, going on a mission together.
In the dream, Lin Xiaoxiao, Gu sha, and her friends were standing on a vast land, facing a seemingly insurmountable dark forest. In the dream, Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed in battle armor, her eyes shining with unwavering determination. She turned to look at Gu sha and her friends, a confident smile appearing on her face.
"It seems that the difficulty level is quite high this time," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a light, teasing tone in her voice.
Gu sha nodded gently, with a steady gaze: "No matter how difficult the task, we must work together and overcome the challenges."
Beside him, Zhang Siyao clenched his fist and encouraged, "Yes, let's go together!"
Zhou Le rubbed his hands together with excitement, saying, "I've been wanting to stretch my legs for a while now. Let's show this forest what we're made of!"
In the dream, Lin Xiaoxiao led the way into the dark forest. The trees seemed to whisper around them, but she was filled with confidence. They overcame many difficulties along the way, encountering various obstacles, but none of them were insurmountable.
In each battle, Lin Xiaoxiao found herself not only fighting against external enemies, but also battling her inner fears. Every victory made her feel more fulfilled and happy than ever before.
Until the end of the dream, they finally stood at the end of the forest, facing a brilliant light. Lin Xiaoxiao looked back at her companions, seeing pure smiles on their faces and unspoken understanding between them.
The dream froze at this moment, and Lin Xiaoxiao smiled in her sleep. When she woke up, her heart was filled with warmth. No matter what difficulties she may encounter in real life, as long as she has faith and the companionship of friends, she will never be a lonely warrior.
