Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

Gu Xi lay beside He Chengyuan and yawned a little.

The child was frightened and cried for a long time. He was so tired that his eyelids were fighting.

Seeing that he couldn't hold on anymore, Shang Xue wanted to hug him back and take him to sleep.

But as soon as she wanted to be taken away by him, Gu Xi would open her eyes wide, hugging He Chengyuan without letting go, crying until her heart broke.

Seeing that there was no other way, he could only leave Gu Xi here, and told Yun Zhu to pay more attention to the two children at night.

Yunzhu nodded to signal, and promised with confidence: "Master, leave everything to me!"

"If Gu Doudou dares to kick the quilt, I will tuck his quilt under the bed so that he can't kick it anymore."

Shang Xue: "..."

"Forget it, you'd better come out for me." The more Shang Xue thought about it, the more she felt that Yunzhu was unreliable, and ordered Li Fengye to lift Yunzhu up with the bed and the whole person, and ignored Yunzhu's strong protest, and took him directly go out.

The night grew dark.

It was quiet all around.

Gu Xi twisted her body in a daze, and found that He Chengyuan who was lying beside him was gone, her big sleepy eyes instantly became dark and bright, and she sat up anxiously to look for someone.

The child was wearing a bright red bellyband for sleeping, and his round buttocks were exposed outside.Sexually, he climbed down from the bed, barefooted, and searched for He Chengyuan's shadow in the room.

"He Chengyuan, where did you go?"

He searched all over the house for a long time, even got under the bed and searched, but he couldn't find anyone.

Yuanyuan's almond eyes were filled with tears, and she held back her small mouth in aggrieved and scared way.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

"Don't scare me, woo woo woo—"

He ran out while crying, wanting to ask Shang Xue to help him find someone, but when he went out, he saw a lonely shadow in the yard.

The boy's teardrops hung on his thick eyelashes, his big eyes blinked, he ran over on short legs, stretched out his hand and patted the shadow: "He Chengyuan, why did you run out?"

"What are you doing?" Gu Xi asked puzzled.

Seeing that He Chengyuan didn't respond, he stretched out his small hand, took He Chengyuan's hand hanging by his side, and led him into the room.

"He Chengyuan, don't run around, I'm so scared that I won't see you, I can't sleep."

He Chengyuan's eyelashes fluttered, and he took Gu Xi's hand back, holding it tightly.

It was windy at night.

He Chengyuan didn't know how long he had been outside, his palms were cold, and he couldn't get warm after holding them for a long time, which made Gu Xi shiver.

Gu Xi's chubby waist exposed outside the bellyband was twisted by the cold, she opened her mouth to let out a small breath of cool air, and led the people to run back.

"Are you unable to sleep?" Gu Xi climbed onto the bed with her calves lifted, and pulled up He Chengyuan who was standing on the ground. Worried that He Chengyuan would be cold, she covered the two of them with quilts, and used her little hands like Shang Xue usually did to him. Help He Chengyuan tuck the corner of the quilt.

He is a responsible little man who must take care of his friends.

What happened today was truly horrific.

He felt that He Chengyuan must have been frightened, that's why he couldn't sleep and stood outside.

Retracting under the blanket, Gu Xi hugged He Chengyuan's icy body tightly.

The boy's stiff body was like a big ice cube, so cold that Gu Xi couldn't help shivering again.

"Doudou, tell me, what is the truth of the world?" The movement of opening his mouth affected the wound, and He Chengyuan stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips, tasting blood.

Gu Xi frowned when He Chengyuan asked him, "The truth of the world? He Chengyuan, why are you talking nonsense?"

He Chengyuan didn't answer.

"He Chengyuan, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xi asked worriedly.

He felt that He Chengyuan seemed to be holding back a lot of things, and wanted to help He Chengyuan share his troubles.

He Chengyuan continued to answer with silence.

Finding that her little friend had become taciturn again, Gu Xi sighed a little.

He leaned his face against He Chengyuan's neck, arched his warm body into He Chengyuan's arms, and muttered softly: "He Chengyuan, don't be afraid."

"I will work hard to sleep, eat hard, practice hard, and grow taller."

"Then I will be your backer."

"A very, very powerful backer!"

"I don't need you to do it to me," He Chengyuan, who was originally silent, suddenly refused.

"Oh, what are you talking about, you want to be it."

"Go to sleep, you're all hurt."

The little meaty hand stretched out behind He Chengyuan's back, Gu Xi patted it like a little adult, and started singing nonsense, trying to lull him to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep, my best friend..."

"I'll give you all Doudou's jelly beans, all the magic weapons, and all the monthly money that Daddy stole..."

The boy sang more and more quietly, his eyelids closed little by little, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't help falling asleep.

"I don't want any."

Dimly, half asleep and half awake, Gu Xi felt a big cold block of ice clinging tightly to him, so tight that he couldn't breathe.

A hoarse and low voice spoke next to his ear:

"I just want Doudou."

***

On the tenth day of the comprehension conference, only the last five disciples remained to compete for the leader.

Many people who didn't have time to come here in the past few days, or who just wanted to see the final result, came to Lhotse Peak on this day.

It made Lhotse Peak crowded with people, and it was very lively.

The second day after Yunzhu was injured, he was alive and kicking, and even wanted to participate in the competition, but was stopped by Shang Xue and Gu Mingyuan, worried that he would leave hidden dangers if he didn't take care of his injury, so Yunzhu finally gave up the competition qualifications.

The young man's determination to win is too strong, his eyes turned red when he gave up his qualifications, he shut himself in the door and refused to see anyone, until he heard that Li Fengye had entered the leader battle, he ran out jokingly, ready to cheer for his third senior brother .

The nascent sun passed through the sparse branches and leaves, leaving fine spots like broken gold on the ground.

The white clouds, boundless, are slowly rolled by the wind, free and lazy.

On Lhotse Peak, with the start of the conference, the beating of drums and the simultaneous sounding of horns from all directions.Tens of thousands of spectators let out loud roars, and some sects whose disciples entered the championship battle were extremely nervous and kept making noise.

"Ahhhhh, brothers and sisters are amazing! Ahhhhh——"

Gu Xi, who was cheering for the disciples of Qianqingzong, danced excitedly.

The disciples on the stage were seriously drawing lots and selecting numbers. Gu Xi in the audience looked more nervous and excited than the disciples on the stage. He kept yelling, and the little bun on his head was also shaking come and go.

"He Chengyuan, look quickly!"

Gu Xi stretched out her small hand to grab her friend to share happiness with him, but He Chengyuan unexpectedly fell asleep sitting beside him.

He Chengyuan's head moved little by little, several times his head was too heavy and almost fell, but he swung his neck back and sat down.

His injury didn't heal at all, and he couldn't help feeling sleepy.

The unsteady head finally landed on Gu Xi's body, and Gu Xi froze in shock, not daring to move.

"...Fourth senior brother," Gu Xi tried his best to keep his body still, slowly stretched out his hand, slapped Yun Zhu who was beside him, lowered his voice, and said quietly, "He Chengyuan is asleep."

Yun Zhu, who had been helping Gu Xi to increase the noise output, turned around and grinned.

"Hey," Yunzhu said with a smirk on his face, and tiptoed over, pinching He Chengyuan's nose with his fingers, the child couldn't breathe, frowned uncomfortably, and was forced to open his mouth to breathe.

"Hurry up, hurry up, do you still have the spicy rabbit meat that my wife made for you last time, pour it in quickly!"

"He fell asleep, how should he eat?"

"You have to eat it while he's asleep. When he's awake, why doesn't he put on a stern face and refuse to eat?"

"But that one is so spicy..."

Worried that He Chengyuan would wake up soon, Yunzhu decided to make enough food and clothing by himself, reached out from Gu Xi's storage ring and took out his small mustard bag for food, and found out——

A big handful of jelly beans.

The colorful jelly beans soaked in various flower juices by Shang Xue are as beautiful as a rainbow under the refraction of the sun.

Gu Doudou, who loves jelly beans the most, was dazzled by so many jelly beans.

"Fourth Senior Brother," the child raised his head eagerly and swallowed, "I want to eat."

There is a restriction set by Shang Xue on the mustard bag, and Gu Xi can only take out five beans at most every day.

Now that he saw so many jelly beans, he didn't even have time to watch the competition between the brothers and sisters. He glanced at the stage for a while, and looked at Yunzhu's hands for a while, his eyes were almost overwhelmed.

Yunzhu couldn't stop laughing at Gu Xi's greedy behavior, and deliberately kept the beans far away, so that Gu Xi couldn't reach them.

Gu Xi wanted to get the beans, but He Chengyuan was still leaning on him who was asleep.

He didn't dare to move, he was so anxious that he complained to Min Zheng aggrievedly: "Eldest senior brother, fourth senior brother bullied me."

After finishing speaking, Xiaozui pouted vigorously in Yunzhu's direction: "Look, he stole my jelly beans!"

Yun Zhu, who was caught by the murderous look in his elder brother's eyes: "..."

Min Zheng frowned: "Yunzhu."

Yunzhu smiled apologetically: "Yes, senior brother!"

The young man who was so arrogant when he was bullying the junior just now, with his head down, he sluggishly divided the jelly beans in his hand into three, and after feeding He Chengyuan and Gu Xi into a pile, he threw the rest into his mouth.

He Chengyuan woke up from such a commotion.

He heard Gu Xi keep telling him that the sweet beans were so delicious, so delicious, so he started to eat them in a daze.

The three children sat in a pile and watched the competition while chewing the beans. The sweet and crunchy taste of their lips and teeth spread to their bodies along the tip of their tongues, making them squint their eyes happily.

It looks like three little cats leaning together to bask in the sun.

Because Mu Tingjiang was worried about He Chengyuan's injury, he kept paying attention to the movements of Gu Xi and the others.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he smiled lightly: "Master, look at how well these three brats are playing together."

"In the future, Gu Xi won't have to play alone on Lingyue Peak. With good friends to accompany him, it will be more effective when practicing spells in the future."

Mu Tingjiang could clearly see that since He Chengyuan would rather be beaten to death than recruit Qian Qingzong, Shang Xue's attitude towards this child has changed a lot.

Not only will he not forget to give He Chengyuan a portion every time he cooks for Doudou, but he will even add more meat and vegetables to He Chengyuan, almost treating He Chengyuan as his half-child.

only……

It's still a bit difficult to face.

After all, at the beginning, he kept trying to prevent people from entering the sect, but now he hastily changed it, which is really a bit embarrassing.

Hearing Mu Tingjiang's words, Shang Xue took a sip of tea, and replied in a low voice, her voice seemed to be untouched, but actually there was a hint of a smile on her lips.

She has already discussed with her husband, and when the Cultivation Conference is over, she will ask Gu Mingyuan to accept He Chengyuan as a disciple.

The two children will practice together in the future, and the adults will be able to worry a lot less.

The competition on the stage was in full swing.

After a fierce competition among the five disciples, the final highlight soon came

——The leader battle of the comprehension conference.

It is the most important battle to decide who will be number one in the world in the next ten years.

It is also the last node of plot restoration.
