Dark Super God

In the familiar living room, I sat on the familiar sofa and watched the familiar TV, which played my father’s favorite news platform.

In front of him is a coffee table that has not been replaced for many years. The old walls around it have turned yellow. The white putty in some corners has even cracked and fallen off, leaving some gaps, revealing the solid wall inside.

And because the home is small but has a lot of things, every time the white putty falls off, it will be spilled on the shoe rack, the table, or the floor.

Gu Xing remembered that every time his mother Wu Ying was cleaning, she couldn't help but complain, and along the way, she would scold his father Gu Panhui and himself.

Now, looking at the scenes at home, what comes to Gu Xing's mind are all the memories of spending time with his parents.

Sometimes, he would also think, couldn't he just stay with his parents peacefully until they were a hundred years old?

But unfortunately, his reason told him, no.

Now that he has reached this point and established a "causal network", he has understood many things that he did not understand before.

When Zuo Kuang first took that step in Jincheng, in addition to being unable to break through the second state due to the break in the "time dimension", there was also something wrong with his psyche.

He always instigates others to try behind the scenes, but he himself has not dared to try and take that step for a long time. He has lost his spirit. Even if the "time dimension" is not broken, he will not be able to advance to the second state in the end.

As the saying goes, once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.

That's it.

If Gu Xing didn't take that step while his mind, body, and will were at their peak, he wouldn't have a second chance either.

That's how things are in the world.

There is always a choice to be made.

And Gu Xing had already made his choice.

…

"...I didn't expect you, Xiao Yang, to have known my son for a long time? What a coincidence! Let me tell you, my son..."

After inviting Gu Xing and Yang Qianyi into the house and learning that Yang Qianyi and Gu Xing had known each other for a long time, Wu Ying took Yang Qianyi's hand and sat on the sofa chatting happily about home affairs.

Yang Qianyi's deliberate overtures over the past few months have indeed narrowed the distance between her and Gu Xing's mother.

Gu Xing sat aside and retracted his gaze from looking at the home.

Gu Panhui sat on the single sofa next to him, looking at the TV, but he chatted with Gu Xing from time to time. He did not ask what Gu Xing had done in the past year, but I'm talking about some trivial things in Gu Xing's mother's life.

Finally, I didn't forget to say something like Gu Xing's mother missed him very much.

Men's emotional expressions are always so reserved.

Gu Xing just listened and occasionally smiled in agreement.

After chatting for about half an hour, her mother Wu Ying suddenly remembered something. She quickly stood up and looked at Gu Xing and said, "Xiao Xing, you haven't eaten yet? Look at me, I forgot about it in this excitement! I'll go and give it to you right now." practice!"

"Aunt Wu, it's okay, let me do it!"

Yang Qian recalled getting up and walked to the kitchen, eager to cook.

But Wu Ying quickly stopped her: "How can this be done? You are a guest, how can I let you do it? Sit down quickly! I'll come, Aunt Wu, I can cook very quickly!"

"mom."

Just when the two of them were arguing about cooking, Gu Xing spoke, and he said calmly: "I have something to tell you."

His words made Gu Panhui and Wu Ying look at him involuntarily.

Seeing the calmness on Gu Xing's face, they suddenly realized something.

A smile appeared on Wu Ying's face and she said, "Oh, if there's anything else, let's talk about it after dinner."

After that, she walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

Many times, even if people know what they are facing, they still want to delay it for a moment.

It's not that I don't want to face it, I just want to face it later.

Gu Xing looked at Wu Ying's back busy in the kitchen, and finally chose to remain silent.

Gu Panhui on the side also fell into silence.

The originally lively atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Yang Qianyi glanced at Gu Xing, said nothing, walked into the kitchen silently, and silently helped Wu Ying.

In the kitchen, Wu Ying, who was cooking, couldn't help but shed tears.

Time passes minute by minute.

Although I wanted to delay the separation, in the end, what was due came.

At dusk, the sun sets in the west, and the golden sunset shines thousands of miles away.

Wu Ying's meal was finally ready.

It's not very luxurious, just a simple home-cooked meal with four dishes and one soup, but these are what Gu Xing loved to eat when he was a child.

Just like he did when he was a child, Gu Xing consciously took the bowls and chopsticks and started to add food to everyone.

The family sat around the dinner table and finished the meal in silence.

Gu Xing, who had not eaten for a long time, finished all the rice and vegetables this time.

The three people who had already eaten were just looking at him blankly.

After he put down the bowls and chopsticks, Wu Ying subconsciously stood up to put them away, but was stopped by Gu Xing.

"Mom, let me take it one more time."

Gu Xing smiled and said, "The last time."

These words instantly made Wu Ying's tears fall silently again. In the end, she didn't move anymore and let Gu Xing finish putting away the dishes.

When Gu Xing came out of the kitchen, he looked at Gu Panhui and Wu Ying, who were still sitting at the dining table, staring at him blankly.

Without hesitation, he made a "pop" sound, and the white devil, who had terrified the whole world and never bowed his head even in the face of any powerful enemy, knelt down on his knees.

"Dad, Mom, it's my honor to have parents like you; it's your misfortune to have a son like me. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years! But please forgive my unfilial behavior, I... am leaving! This time... I may not come back!"

After saying all the farewell words in one breath, Gu Xing kowtowed three times.

As the saying goes, a man's knees are made of gold, and he kneels to his parents.

But he doesn't kneel to heaven and earth, but only to his parents!

This is what he owes them!

Gu Panhui and Wu Ying were silent after hearing his words.

Although they had realized it, and although Gu Xing had given them a tactful vaccination more than a year ago in Qianling Mountain.

When this day really came, they were still at a loss.

After a long, long, long time.

After a barely audible "hmm", Gu Panhui got up and left his seat, walked into the bedroom, and closed the door.

Wu Ying wiped the tears from her face, forced out a smile again, and said to Gu Xing: "Son, we understand, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry about us, we all have pension insurance. In the future... don't be stubborn in everything, try to pay attention to safety, understand?"

Just like the time at Qianling Mountain, she only wanted her son to be safe.

Even if she would never see him again.

Gu Xing silently looked at his mother Wu Ying's old face and gray temples, and finally nodded in agreement very solemnly.

...

When Gu Xing came out of the house, night had fallen.

The dim street lights on the old street lit up, and the light flickered.

Yang Qianyi came out with him.

The two walked side by side, without speaking all the way, and walked out of the community where the old house was located, and stopped at the intersection.

"Then I'll take you here."

Yang Qianyi smiled with red eyes and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them in the future."

Gu Xing looked at her, as he did during the day, and didn't speak.

Yang Qianyi seemed to be used to his lack of response. She smiled and waved her hand, then turned and walked back to the community.

Suddenly——

"Hello."

"Hmm?"

"Let's get married."

"……!!!!"
