Chapter 53 Chance Encounter
Xiao Xiao took a few steps back and raised his hand to rub his temple. It was a familiar headache.

However, it is much better than the headache I had after summoning the duck.

He thought, on the one hand it was because the eel was more powerful, and on the other hand it was also because his own strength had increased, right?
Just like now, there is a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones, and finally all rivers return to flow into his lower dantian. Did the Gu Diao finish eating the fox tail?

The movements are quite fast.

Xiao Xiao put down his hands and felt relaxed all over. Even his headache was relieved a little. He opened and closed his palms, and the feeling of power was intoxicating.

After feeling it for a while, Xiao Xiao lowered his head to look at Su Youjin who had been very quiet.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

However, perhaps the psychological impact is more severe than the physical damage?

Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of what the fox demon had said before, Bodhicitta?
What is this? Is this why the fox demon is obsessed with this girl?
However, Bodhicitta is something that sounds very powerful just by hearing the name.

"Thank you." Su Youjin opened her eyes, her eyes were clear. She stood up with some difficulty and bowed solemnly to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao felt somewhat helpless and retracted his half-extended hand. Even though they had only known each other for a short time, he knew that this was a stubborn or very strong-willed girl.

So he accepted her thanks calmly.

"Ah."

"Can you still walk? I'll take you back to the dormitory." Even if I don't know the other person's true identity, he should be a student of this school, right?

"Okay, thank you for your help." Su Youjin hesitated for a moment and agreed. She didn't want people familiar with her to see her and worry about her. Everyone in the dormitory should be in class now, and she had been on leave for a long time because of the fox demon.

"It should."

"excuse me."

It seems that the other party is indeed a student of this school.

Xiao Xiao carefully held Su Youjin's arm and slowly walked out of the glass greenhouse.

There was no further communication between them until Xiao Xiao sent Su Youjin to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory.

Su Youjin was really tired and didn't have the energy to say anything.

On the one hand, Xiao Xiao understood Su Youjin's tiredness, but on the other hand, he didn't know what to say to a girl, so he simply said nothing.

Fortunately, Zhang Bo and his companions are not here, otherwise they would definitely beat their chests and stamp their feet, saying that he did not know how to seize the opportunity and was a stupid blockhead!

……

"Thank you."

"Well, can you go up by yourself? Do you want to ask your aunt to help you?" Xiao Xiao was a little worried that Su Youjin would fall down the stairs halfway.

"No, I can do it." Su Youjin refused. Her expression was as cold as usual, but because of her pale and weak face, there was a touch of fragileness that was touching and made people feel pity for her.

Then she seemed to feel that it was not right for her to treat her savior like this, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only say as if to make amends: "I'm feeling better now." A faint blush appeared on her face.

"Okay, then you go upstairs and have a good rest." Xiao Xiao smiled. He knew that the other party was just not good at expressing himself. Moreover, along the way, Su Youjin did not ask him any questions, which made him feel very good about her.

"Well, thank you, goodbye." Su Youjin bowed carefully again before turning and walking into the girls' dormitory.

"Goodbye." Xiao Xiao looked at the girl's gradually receding back, then he lowered his eyes and saw the ear mouse that had been following her.

But the Ear Mouse suddenly turned around and nodded to Xiao Xiao, and there seemed to be a flash of gratitude in his eyes.

Hmm? Xiao Xiao blinked blankly, and when he looked over again, the ear mouse had turned its head away, and its back was as arrogant as ever.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh, with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.

……

The next day, although he had no classes, Xiao Xiao still got up early, even a few minutes earlier than when he had classes. "Third brother, so early?" Zhao Luzheng poked his head out slightly, his eyes half-closed, and asked dazedly.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Go to sleep, I have something to do."

"Yeah." Zhao Luzheng crawled back into the quilt.

Xiao Xiao closed the door gently. The corridor outside was also silent and grey. Every door was closed and most people were still fast asleep.

Walking out of the dormitory building, even though it was still dark outside, the light was brighter than in the corridor, and Xiao Xiao felt as if his eyes were brightened.

The air in the early morning is clean and pleasant with a slight smell of dew and water vapor. Take a deep breath, and the coolness will penetrate your heart. There is also the subtle fragrance of green grass and trees, which will make you feel refreshed all of a sudden.

At this time, the mist had not yet dissipated, the morning light was just breaking, and there were even fewer people around. Xiao Xiao strolled along the paths in the campus. There was still some remnant snow from yesterday on the branches and walls. Everywhere he looked were light-colored ink paintings with clear and distant meanings.

Xiao Xiao lingered for a while and then quickly walked towards the station.

He got up so early just to take advantage of the early working day to go to Xiangshan to look for Egret.

He had many unanswered questions about what happened yesterday.

Although the duck is a monster, from previous contacts, it is obvious that it does not reject humans and is willing to answer some of his questions.

Therefore, Eel is the best person he can consult at the moment.

The only thing he was worried about was whether he could see the monster. After all, he came up empty-handed last time.

Xiangshan Mountain in the morning mist is like a shy girl who wants to speak but is too shy to do so, exuding a unique and charming beauty.

It snowed yesterday, and the red maple leaves in Xiangshan have almost all fallen. The thin and strong branches are warm in color, as if inlaid with a layer of gold, outlining their delicate and delicate contours. A few drops of plump water droplets are still rolling on the remaining leaves, which are crystal clear and reflect the blurred light.

A look of amazement flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes. He slowly climbed the stairs and wandered in this intoxicating beauty.

……

Although he arrived early, there were always others who arrived just as early, or even earlier.

Especially the elderly.

Xiao Xiao walked around a corner and saw the back of an old lady in front of him.

The old lady walked slowly but steadily, climbing up step by step.

"careful!"

Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward and just caught the old lady who was about to fall.

There are several stone steps here with a larger drop than the previous ones. The old man might not have paid attention for a moment and took small steps, causing his body to lean backward. If Xiao Xiao had not been quick to see the opportunity, he would have almost fallen down.

The old man grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand with quite a bit of force, and it was obvious that he was still frightened.

"Are you all right, grandma?"

"it's okay no problem."

"Thank you so much, young man."

"Guo Zhenren is old and his eyesight is not good anymore."

……

The old man was a little rambling, but his breathing gradually calmed down.

After the old lady calmed down completely, Xiao Xiao asked, "Grandma, are you alone?"
