Gu sha finally managed to break away from the busy affairs of the Underworld, stealing a few moments of leisure, preparing to go to the human world to meet Lin Xiaoxiao. Ever since the brief contact through the ancient mirror, he had been looking forward to this day.
The boundary between Underworld and the human world is unbreakable for ordinary people, but for a high-level Judge like Gu sha, there is a special passage. He stood at the entrance of that secret passage, took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the path that connected the two realms.
Exiting the corridor, Gu sha appeared outside Lin Xiaoxiao's apartment. He adjusted his attire to ensure his appearance wasn't too abrupt, then gently knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, Lin Xiaoxiao walked over and opened the door. When she saw Gu sha standing outside, she exclaimed in surprise, " Gu sha! How did you come here?"
"I said I would come to see you," Gu sha replied with a smile, a solemn yet gentle demeanor that instantly lifted Lin Xiaoxiao's spirits.
Unable to resist, Lin Xiaoxiao threw herself at him, giving Gu sha a hug, then pulled him inside, saying, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Upon entering the house, Lin Xiaoxiao busied herself with making tea, while Gu sha looked around the living room. The place was filled with Lin Xiaoxiao's lively atmosphere, in stark contrast to the cold and serious atmosphere of the Underworld.
Lin Xiaoxiao brought the tea to Gu sha and sat down, starting a casual conversation: "You're not here for a lightning visit again, are you? Disappearing in the blink of an eye."
Gu sha took the tea, gently blew on the hot surface, and then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "This time I will try to stay a little longer. I think we can have a good talk about our future."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately perked up: "Oh? Are you finally ready to talk business with me? Not here to tell me again that our story is 'to be continued,' right?"
Gu sha With a slight smile, he knew that Lin Xiaoxiao liked to joke to ease the tension between them: "No, this time it's not. I'm here to talk to you about how we can overcome all obstacles in the future and make our relationship more stable."
Lin Xiaoxiao became serious after hearing this: "I know that the relationship between us is not something ordinary lovers can compare to. You have your responsibilities, and I have my own life, separated by life and death. But I hope that no matter what happens in the future, we won't give up on each other."
Gu sha nodded, his eyes filled with determination: "I think so too, Xiao Xiao. Our relationship may be filled with challenges to overcome, but I believe that as long as our love for each other remains unchanged and we persist, there will be no obstacles that can stand in our way."
In the warm and quiet living room, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha sat on comfortable sofas, facing each other and talking. The soft indoor lighting added a touch of intimacy to their conversation.
Lin Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows slightly, looking somewhat worried. "Gu sha, can our relationship really overcome all the difficulties? After all, we come from different worlds."
Gu sha smiled faintly and looked determined. "Xiao Xiao, I know this path won't be easy. But I believe that as long as we persist and don't give up easily, nothing can stand in our way."
Lin Xiaoxiao muttered, "You're always so calm and composed. Sometimes I really envy your personality."
Gu sha raised an eyebrow lightly and put on a serious look, "Perhaps I am calm, but your frankness and bravery are what attract me. Your passion and honesty always help me see the more positive side of things."
Upon hearing Gu sha's words, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, with a hint of rare shyness in her laughter. "Well, since you put it that way, I guess I have to accept it. But honestly, sometimes I'm really afraid that our relationship will be affected by external pressure."
Gu sha reached out and gently held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand. "Xiao Xiao, our feelings are built on sincerity. No matter what the outside world brings, we have to believe in each other. Our love is strong enough to resist anything."
Lin Xiaoxiao was deeply moved by Gu sha's words, and tears shimmered in her eyes: "Gu sha, thank you. With your words, I'm not afraid of anything anymore."
At this moment, their eyes met, and they were filled with each other's presence.
The outside world is ever-changing, but in this small living room, the emotions between Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha are becoming stronger.
Then, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, looking as if struck by a sudden idea: "Gu sha, since you're here today, why don't we go out for a walk? I'll take you to see the most interesting places in the human world."
Gu sha was slightly stunned, then immediately showed his usual composure: "Okay, I'll follow you."
Lin Xiaoxiao took Gu sha's hand and led him out of the apartment. They first arrived at Lin Xiaoxiao's favorite old-fashioned record store. The store displayed all kinds of vinyl records, from classical to rock, everything was available.
Gu sha is curious about these modern artifacts. He picked up a rock band record and frowned slightly, "This is..."
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "This is one of my favorite bands. Their music is full of power and passion. You probably don't hear this kind of music in Underworld, right?"
Gu sha nodded and answered seriously, "Indeed, the music of Underworld is more for contemplation or ritual, which is completely different from this."
Later, Lin Xiaoxiao took Gu sha to a nearby comic book store. The store was packed with all kinds of comics and merchandise. Lin Xiaoxiao excitedly picked through the pile of comics like a child, while Gu sha quietly observed from the side.
"Look, the protagonist of this comic is somewhat similar to you, cold but kind-hearted," Lin Xiaoxiao excitedly picked up a comic and pointed to the character on the cover, saying to Gu sha.
Gu sha smiled slightly, "Is that so? I think he looks more heroic than me."
"Come on, stop it. If you're not a hero, then who else can be considered a hero?" Lin Xiaoxiao said as she handed Gu sha a comic book.
The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the window, freezing time for the two in the comic book store. Lin Xiaoxiao wore a constant smile on her face, while Gu sha had gentle eyes.
After leaving the comic book store, the two of them strolled on the streets in the city center. Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed to a small vendor ahead and said, "Gu sha, have you ever tried the snacks over there?"
"No," Gu sha replied succinctly as usual.
"Then you should give it a try today. I guarantee it will be a completely new experience." Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Gu sha excitedly towards the small food stall.
The two of them ordered a few snacks, and Gu sha tried them for the first time, looking somewhat surprised as he said, "This taste..."
"How is it? Is it very special?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him expectantly.
"It is indeed very special," Gu sha said, his eyes revealing an appreciation for this novelty.
Night falls, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha sit by a quiet river, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. The river sparkles in the light, as if the whole world exists just for the two of them.
Gu sha looks at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Thank you for showing me so much today."
Lin Xiaoxiao held Gu sha's hand and said with a smile, "No need to thank me, I'm happy to do this. Gu sha, no matter what we become in the future, I hope we can both remember this simple and happy time today."
Gu sha looked at her affectionately and said, "I will, Xiao Xiao."
At that moment, the two hearts seemed to be tightly connected again, without the need for many words, they could feel each other's deep emotions. And their story, in such moments, quietly weaved more warm and beautiful chapters.
The night breeze gently brushed by, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at the river, the shimmering water seemed to be telling an unknown story. She turned to Gu sha and said, "Do you know? Every time I feel lost or tired, I come here. The river gives me an indescribable sense of calm, making me feel that no matter how big the problem is, it's just a passing cloud."
Gu sha smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a deep admiration for Lin Xiaoxiao: "You always manage to find the beauty of life in simple things, that's one of the things I admire most about you."
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, as if thinking about something, then suddenly said, "Gu sha, let's play a game! Let's see who can find the brightest star on the other side of the river first."
Gu sha raised an eyebrow and accepted the challenge: "Fine, but if I win, you have to agree to a condition."
Lin Xiaoxiao brimming with confidence: "You're dreaming, I am the champion of this game!"
The two of them started their little game like this, and in the end, Lin Xiaoxiao won. Gu Sha said unwillingly, "It looks like I really underestimated you."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly, "Of course, don't forget who I am!"
Laughter and cheerful conversation echoed through the quiet night, making their moods even happier because of each other's presence. This night was a beautiful memory for them, and every moment they shared was filled with deep love.
The story of Gu sha and Lin Xiaoxiao is like a tranquil river, despite the ups and downs, it always flows towards a broader future. In every corner of the world, as long as there is love, it can bring forth endless hope and warmth. Their story is a testament to such love.
