Double world undercurrent

Chapter 40 Chapter Forty Concerns
On the bay window sill of Jasmine's bedroom, the light blue bay window cushion is moderately soft and hard, with the legs tucked on the cushion, and the back leaning against the pillow. Through the gap between the window screens, one can see the street garden across the road downstairs.Although it was blocked by green plants and the details could not be seen clearly, the tragic scene in the garden square last night was still deeply imprinted in Gu Xiaoxing's mind.

After Jasmine woke up, Gu Xiaoxing told her about her life experience and the experiences of the past two or three months.She sat by the bed and listened, sometimes her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were wide open, and sometimes her brows were lowered and her eyes were serious. From surprise to worry, after a long time of reflection, she regained her strength and cast her incredulous eyes on Gu Xiaoxing.

"Xiaoxing, you may be in danger at any time now, yet you still act so calm! Aren't you afraid?"

"...I probably got used to this kind of life...I'm afraid it's useless, where else can I hide?"

Gu Xiaoxing picked up the water glass and took a sip of warm water, not knowing when the heavy heart would be relieved.Those bad things last night were lingering in her mind, especially the indescribable pain in her heart when she confronted Leng Yi at the end...

Are the father and mother still there?Why not come to her?Are they... still there?

"If I were you, why would I still be working? It's not safe to even stay at home. I'll find a special hidden place to hide, and then..."

Jasmine thought about it herself, and slowly shook her head.

"...and then what?"

Gu Xiaoxing turned to her gloomyly.

"Then……"

Jasmine thought about it carefully, as if Gu Xiaoxing really had nowhere to hide, even if she was surrounded by dozens of bodyguards like in gangster movies, it still couldn't stop Leng Yi from emerging from her soul to deal with her. The Wu Clan will also find ways to find her, unless she never goes out to contact the outside world.But that doesn't mean you're under house arrest...

"I can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, Jasmine, do you really think I'm a princess on the run? I'm at most a down and out princess... no...'princess' is just a joke to me..."

Gu Xiaoxing smiled wryly.The huge gap between the past and the present made her resent the nominal identity of "princess".Does this identity still have meaning and value?Although she didn't care about those fame and fortune things at all, but after witnessing the sharp contrast between her past and present, her heart was inevitably out of balance.

In the past, Leng Xin could do many things without any scruples, because she had enough confidence and strength...but now she...what else...

There is no harm without comparison...

She doesn't want to quit her job anymore, it will make her even more depressed, she urgently needs to find her own value now, the value of being an ordinary Gu Xiaoxing...

"Xiaoxing, why do you think it's a joke? You are a princess from another world, no matter the past or the present, no matter what you have become, aren't you still you?"

"But I..."

I am not as good as before...

she said in her heart.

How could Mingshuo like her in the dark? He liked her in the past... If he took off the filter of the past, would he see her differently?
Heh...he is the king of another world now, and she just exists in the real world, the ordinary Gu Xiaoxing, the distance between them...is already very far away, isn't it?Now, why should she have extravagant hopes for him?
The trajectory between them will be two lines that go farther and farther...

Now it's just because we have to face those things together that we are together, isn't it?

"Xiaoxing...why are you so unhappy!"

Jasmine saw that Gu Xiaoxing was gloomy, caressing the jade bracelet in her hand in a daze, her emotions falling to the bottom of the valley almost froze the afternoon sun, so she couldn't help but leaned over to look at her, her eyes fell on her bracelet, and her eyes lit up.

"This bracelet is so beautiful, it suits you very well... The relationship between the Demon King and you must be unusual..."

Gu Xiaoxing had mixed feelings in his heart, and smiled coldly and bitterly.

"Think about it, Xiaoxing..."

Jasmine comforted her, looking forward to it like a nympho:
"...If there is such a handsome man who falls from the sky, saves me time and time again, and even gives me such a beautiful... amulet... I must take him... Take him first and then talk..."

"Handsome but can't be eaten..."

Gu Xiaoxing said without thinking.

Jasmine was radiant, and blurted out:

"Although Shuai can't be eaten as a meal, but... can be eaten as a snack! Hee hee!"

Gu Xiaoxing pursed her lips and cast a mocking look of disdain.

Jasmine paused for a moment, her eyes turned, and a gossiping smile suddenly appeared on her lips:
"Xiaoxing... Are you really not with the Demon King yet?"

Gu Xiaoxing shook her head silently, feeling a big exclamation mark standing on top of her head!
Jasmine raised her eyebrows and said:

"Ah... No, you two are like that... Not together yet... Why?"

"...how about us...the horoscope hasn't been written yet..."

Gu Xiaoxing's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of Mingshuo's various ways of hugging her, his face burned to the base of his ears...

"Tsk tsk, look at you blushing. When you were in college, the president of the student council used different tricks to block you at the door of the dormitory. I never saw you blush before."

"Well...it can't be compared...it's a shadow..."

Gu Xiaoxing recalled the scene when the student president of the school stalked and pursued him, and the scene was so embarrassing. The boy was as confident as a black hole...

Jasmine smiled, with a clever light in her eyes and said:
"Xiao Xing... I think you and the Demon King are only a short distance away from drawing that 'one stroke'...you are beaten by your brother..."

Seeing Gu Xiaoxing's eyes darken, she paused, cleared her throat, and then continued:
"When you were... sealed up, I witnessed the process of the demon king saving you. Although he has been casting spells there and basically didn't speak, I can feel how nervous you are in my heart. Standing behind you, I can feel it. Before you were rescued, for a moment, he seemed to be about to collapse, I don't know what happened to you at that time... He looks so calm..."

"……Oh, is it so……"

Gu Xiaoxing felt like a hot spring was flowing through his heart, and a ray of clear light rose from his depressed mood.

Although she felt that even if Mingshuo cared about her, it was because of her aura of indifference, but Jasmine's words still warmed her heart. She would rather believe for a short time that Mingshuo was only doing this for ordinary her. Worry, removed that glossy filter.

"Hey, Jasmine, don't just talk about me, talk about you and that male radio anchor..."

Gu Xiaoxing looked at Jasmine's excited appearance, her emotions were affected by her, and asked with concern and curiosity:
"What's the situation with you now, are you still 'buddies' who talk about everything?"

Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, Jasmine showed a trace of unhappiness on her face.

"Cough...don't mention it, it's useless."

"why?"

Seeing her bright eyes, Gu Xiaoxing seemed to quickly sort out her thoughts in her mind before saying:
"Yesterday at noon, he came to the editing room to look for me. He insisted on telling me to go to the corridor with him alone, saying that he wanted to tell me a secret... I was so happy, I thought he was going to confess to me...the result..."

"...What was the result?"

Gu Xiaoxing listened carefully to her vivid narration.

"...In the end, he told me that he has been lying to me all this time. He said he has a girlfriend..."

"Oh... let me just say..."

"...He said that he had been talking with that girlfriend for three years. They had a quarrel the day before yesterday, and they ignored him all day. He told me that he was so sad, so sad, and wanted me to give him advice. Back to that girlfriend..."

"I go……"

Gu Xiaoxing picked up the water glass and wanted to flush the unbearable greeting back into her stomach with warm water, one can imagine how aggrieved Jasmine was at that time.

"...I was in that mood... I was still holding on at the time, and told him that it didn't matter, the girls just need to be coaxed more..."

Jasmine said with a speechless expression:

"Then he said that his girlfriend had a bad temper and was not easy to coax. He coaxed him all night but didn't come back...asked me if there was a better way, and wanted me to help him coax his girlfriend back...and said his My girlfriend is very special, you want to show me the photos..."

Gu Xiaoxing picked up the water glass again...

"...I was really...before he showed it to me, he made me mentally prepare...whispering...afraid that I wouldn't be able to accept it..."

"I thought it was because of how ugly he was, he couldn't show it, and he comforted him and said, 'It's okay, even if you find an alien wife, I can accept it'... Then he gave the picture of his girlfriend to I read……"

Jasmine recalled the scene at that time, with a confused look of "who am I and where am I?":

"...his girlfriend...is a muscular man..."

"puff……"

Gu Xiaoxing couldn't hold back, and almost wet Jasmine's clothes, but fortunately, the other party was quick.

His girlfriend... is a muscular guy...

Big temper... not easy to coax...

This steep information is still floating in her head...

"...I knew you would react like this, Xiaoxing, at that time, I almost didn't come up...I choked..."

While casting spells to remove the water stains on the ground, Gu Xiaoxing lowered her head and suppressed an unkind smile. She felt that this matter was both exasperating and inexplicably happy. She couldn't help but comfort Jasmine and said:
"It's hard for you, Jasmine, but there's nothing you can do about it... Think about it, at least he might really regard you as a 'buddy'..."

"Cut... I've already removed him, completely... he had a 'girlfriend' and didn't tell me earlier, and asked me to coax him... Or... I'll go... really blinded my golden eyes... "

Gu Xiaoxing expressed her understanding and sympathy from the bottom of her heart, complaining about her grievances, but this matter, even if it makes people feel itchy, it is not good to ask others to argue about it.

At this time, the text message rang, and Gu Xiaoxing took out his mobile phone to read it. It was the news that the department had temporarily notified him to return to the company to work overtime.

Due to the "typhoon and riot" last night, the interior of the building where the company is located was damaged. Today, except for the senior leaders, everyone is resting at home and waiting for orders.Now the head of the department is notifying to go back to work overtime. It seems that the damage to the company is not serious. I don’t know if anyone was killed when the dark energy ghoul attacked the company building last night...

A small ray of sunshine just rising was covered by the haze...

Gu Xiaoxing got up, wanting to use Jasmine's bathroom to wash her face, sober up, and then tidy up, so that she doesn't look so depressed.

"Go, Xiaoxing, your face is really not very good."

"Oh……"

In the bathroom, the warm yellow light shone on his face, Gu Xiaoxing saw that he looked a little tired in the mirror, the ponytail that used to be high in the past was now loose, and the scattered hair was messy.

She looked at herself listless, shook her head helplessly, then turned on the faucet, and washed her pale face with hot water...

After that, she raised her head, wiped off the water stains on her face with a face towel, and saw that she had regained a trace of blood in the mirror.

She moved her eyes to the right, picked up the comb in the box, and moved back to the mirror——

"--Snapped!"

The comb is shocked!
The self in the mirror...is Leng Xin!

The black hair is lightly pulled, and the long black silk hangs on the waist of the willow, the crescent eyebrows are lightly swept away, the apricot eyes are like stars, and the peach blossom powder is like a demon and a fairy...

Leng Xin in the mirror was motionless, watching him silently...

What's the situation? !

Gu Xiaoxing raised her hand, but she in the mirror was still motionless, just... staring at herself silently.

Her heart skipped a beat!It's so scary!

She braced herself again, touched her hair, face, and looked at her clothes... She was still the ordinary Gu Xiaoxing, but she in the mirror... was still cold and heartless!It's Leng Xin who doesn't move in sync with himself!

No, that's not Leng Xin...

I am Leng Xin myself!
She is not herself in the mirror...

"Who are you?!"

Gu Xiaoxing stared at the weird and kind, strange and familiar self in the mirror, as if the filter was fully turned on, and the glamorous self that repulsed her dim self, asked loudly.

But Leng Xin in the mirror still didn't respond at all.

Suddenly, a sour and deformed voice emerged from the bottom of my heart:
This is Ming Shuo's favorite look...

A veritable princess from another world...

If he was still like this, wouldn't Leng Yi be more gentle, so that he wouldn't almost strangle himself to death?
is not it?
"Xiaoxing, what's wrong with you?"

Jasmine heard the sound and came over, seeing her staring straight at herself in the mirror, she asked in surprise.

"Jasmine... look in the mirror..."

Gu Xiaoxing raised his finger to the mirror.

"What's wrong? Is there something in the mirror?"

Jasmine in the mirror was in a daze, looking at herself and Leng Xin beside her, there was no difference.

"...What do I look like in the mirror?"

Jasmine said in bewilderment:

"Xiaoxing, aren't you just staring at yourself and asking me... Don't worry, my mirror is not distorted at all. Whatever you look like now is what you look like in the mirror."

"……Oh"

Gu Xiaoxing was extremely astonished, only she could see Leng Xin in the mirror!
She felt inexplicable fear, horrified, and stared at herself in the mirror in horror.Just when she blinked in bewilderment, suddenly, she saw herself in the mirror, and gradually changed from Leng Xin to Gu Xiaoxing's appearance...

Is it... possible... just an illusion?
She thought blankly...
