My mother said that I shouldn’t cry when I encounter difficulties.
Grandpa said that as long as you work hard and persevere, you will succeed.
When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer , his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and his body empty...
Chu Yuanxi said he would take me to the beach to listen to dolphins singing.
But the troubling thing is that he has been in my room for 10 minutes and hasn't come out yet.
The reason is very simple. When I was drinking water just now, I heard Huangfu Dongchong, who came to my house to play, calling a beautiful woman and said in a sarcastic tone: "Beauty, come and smile for me!"
So, I unceremoniously sprayed out the water in my mouth. Unfortunately, Chu Yuanxi was sitting opposite me.
Huangfu Dongchong is my unlucky cousin. He came back from afar to visit me and my grandfather during the summer vacation.
However, I still feel that my brother is so unreliable.
"Chu Yuanxi, are you okay? Why does it take you so long to change your clothes?" I shouted at the door that had been silent for a long time.
No sound, how could it be possible? No response at all?
A bad thought flashed through my mind: Could it be that he had traveled through time?
A few days ago, my grandpa said that if I put something in, my "Super Crossing Magic Spirit" would allow people to cross without chanting any spells! So, I wanted to test it last night, so I put that thing in. This morning, I took out the potion bottle and studied it for a while. It seems that I forgot to lock it in the drawer!
ah--
The bad feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger, so I kicked the door open with a "bang". Chu Yuanxi's clothes fell to the ground, and the medicine in my bottle was bubbling and emitting a faint fragrance from time to time. The fragrance drifted in the air, a bit like the smell of air freshener.
Alas, none of this matters. What matters is where Chu Yuanxi has traveled to? What should he do? Without the spell, he can't come back!
Woohoo, what should I do? What should I do?
I walked around the room holding the bottle, like an ant on hot pot.
What should we do?
"Xia Cao, hurry up, why is it that changing clothes is like shedding skin?" Huangfu Dongchong said as he walked in. Seeing how anxious I was, he couldn't help but ask, "Xia Cao, what's wrong with you?"
I looked at him pitifully and said tremblingly, "Brother Dong Chong, I have some bad news to tell you. You must hold on!"
Huangfu Dongchong looked bewildered. Uh, with his expression, how could he possibly be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy? Moreover, he was only a freshman, but he was already a top student in the acting department?
Forget it, let’s get down to business.
"Brother Dong Chong, your favorite, most caring and most approachable future brother-in-law has suddenly disappeared." I said this very solemnly, and even shed a few pitiful tears. As a result, Mr. Dong Chong, the eldest master of Huangfu, did not say a word, and his two beautiful phoenix eyes gradually widened and widened, and finally suddenly turned 180 degrees and narrowed into a slit.
Then, he reached out and patted my head, smiling and said, "Dear sister , if you want to date alone, just say so. Why do you have to reject your brother in this way?"
What?
"Dear brother, it's really not what you think!"
Wow, do I look like I’m kidding?
Huangfu Dongchong actually doubted his sister like this. I held the bottle in front of him and said solemnly, "Brother, this contains the time-travel potion. Chu Yuanxi must have discovered it just now, so he accidentally traveled through time. The most important problem now is that I don't know where he went."
Huangfu Dongchong looked at me and said something that made me want to slap him twice: "Is this the legendary time-travel potion that can allow you to travel back to ancient times like in "A Step into the Past" and "Myth"?
I nodded vigorously. He was indeed my grandfather's grandson.
"Okay, dear sister, I won't go with you. What a lame excuse! Do you think your brother and I are a kid who hasn't even graduated from kindergarten?"
"Huangfu Dongchong, how can you doubt me like this? Do you want to try it?" Without waiting for Huangfu Dongchong to answer, I quickly opened the potion and chanted the spell. In an instant, Huangfu Dongchong and I traveled through time together.
Ugh, it's freezing cold. Why didn't I choose the tropics but the Arctic?
I looked at Huangfu Dongchong and said tremblingly, "Well, you, you should believe that what I said is true now, right?"
Dong Chong pulled his frozen mouth, nodded vigorously, and said tremblingly: "Are you sure this is not a mirage?"
"Oh my god, it's already so late, do I really need to joke? Forget it, let's go back before we get eaten by a polar bear!"
I chanted the spell again, and with a "bang", I landed safely in my room.
Huangfu Dongchong got up from the ground, touched his head, and murmured, "Xia Cao, I just had a dream. I dreamed of a polar bear."
"Bang, bang, bang--" A huge hammer hit me on the head several times. No wonder my grandfather said that Huangfu Dongchong was an incorrigible child. It turned out to be true.
It seems that I can only ask my grandfather for help with this matter.
But will grandpa pull out my tendons and peel off my skin?
I shuddered. I'll die, for Chu Yuanxi, I, Huangfu Xiacao, will go through fire and water.
Of course, if I really have to go through fire and water, then I'd better give up and let him fend for himself in a different time and space. Maybe a new "Dinosaur Hunt" or "Beast Hunt" will be born.
I ran to my grandfather's room at lightning speed and told him the truth.
He first closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and asked me, " Is what you said true?"
"Uh..." I nodded immediately and handed the bottle to him.
Grandpa said, "It seems that my exclusive secret recipe is really effective! Well, for the future happiness of our Xia Cao, I, your grandpa, decided to help you this time. However, there is a condition first."
"What conditions?" I looked at my grandfather's glowing eyes, and my voice began to tremble...
"You will be responsible for all the housework next month. Of course, there will be no salary because I helped you find Chu Yuanxi." Grandpa said as he took out a garlic and a parrot.
"To find Chu Yuanxi, we must use something of his as a clue, such as his hair, nails, or his fingers, arms, etc...."
Grandpa said as he walked, and then turned to look at me and said, "Do you understand?"
I nodded. There were definitely no fingers or arms, but hair was easy to find. I immediately ran into Chu Yuanxi's house at a flying speed, pulled several hairs from his comb, and then ran back panting.
"Grandpa, is this enough?" I handed the hair to my grandfather.
Grandpa didn't even raise his eyelids: "That's enough, put it in the bottle!"
All preparations were ready, and I saw my grandfather opening his mouth and chanting like Tang Monk. I don't know what he was chanting, probably like a shaman, something like "Heaven and earth, please show your power, Taishang Laojun, please show your power"...
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... Ten minutes passed, and grandpa was still reciting his scriptures, but I was already pacing around the room in anxiety.
Really, grandpa is so slow. What if Chu Yuanxi accidentally traveled to the dinosaur era and was eaten by a carnivorous dinosaur?
Or if you traveled back to the chaotic Qin Dynasty and were accidentally chopped to death, or if you were infected with the plague, what would you do?
"Grandpa..." I finally couldn't help but shout.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the mirror in front of grandpa.
It’s not mine, it’s not grandpa’s, it’s not Dong Chong’s, it’s, it’s…
Such a familiar scene, such familiar music, such familiar children, and who is that dancing on the stage?
"Grandpa, isn't this the scene where Xia Cao participated in the city-wide children's dance competition when she was in the first grade of the new year?" Dong Chong's words reminded me and I immediately remembered it.
My mother criticized me for not doing anything good during my summer vacation, so I went to learn dancing in a fit of anger. In the end, I won the first prize in the city.
However, the strange thing is that I injured my foot during the second game, and the teacher was also late. I didn’t even finish the competition. How was it possible that I won the first prize in the end?
"Look, that person looks like Chu Yuanxi! The one standing next to the stage!" As soon as Dong Chong finished speaking, he was slapped by his grandfather.
"Shut up, who can't see that person is Chu Yuanxi?" Grandpa said with regret, turned his head and continued to look at the mirror and said, "It seems that if Chu Yuanxi wants to come back, you must travel back in time."
"Me?" I looked at my grandfather. If I really went over there, wouldn't my identity be exposed? Chu Yuanxi would know my secret.
I have traveled through time and space to Jin Yixin's house to cause trouble so many times, he should be able to remember it if he thinks about it carefully!
I quickly shook my head, pointed at Dong Chong and said, "Let my brother go. He can bring Chu Yuanxi back when he goes."
Grandpa said without even turning his head: "With his wooden head, it would be better for me to go by myself!"
"Ouch!" I screamed in the mirror and almost fell on the stage.
"My foot hurts!" I couldn't help but shout.
"You were injured! But you still persisted. Grandpa knew that our Xia Cao was a very persistent child." Grandpa said with a smile, "Otherwise, a good boy like Yuan Xi would not like you!"
"No way, he likes me because I'm cute." I curled my lips proudly.
I continued to dance in the mirror, but I could clearly see that something was wrong with my left foot, and beads of sweat were dripping down my forehead. Despite this, I still insisted on finishing the dance.
Chu Yuanxi, who was standing at the side, looked at the stage with shining eyes. When I went to take a break, he suddenly ran out, and soon ran back, handed me the ice pack in his hand, and said with a smile: "Use this to cool it down, and it won't hurt so much."
I looked up at Chu Yuanxi, nodded, and thanked him politely: "Thank you, big brother!"
What?
I actually called Chu Yuanxi "big brother"?
He must be so happy!
Chu Yuanxi smiled and said, "You're welcome. Your name is Huangfu Xiacao, right? You dance really well."
I raised my head and said stupidly, "Really? Does big brother think I'm a good-for-nothing?"
Chu Yuanxi reached out and touched my little head, and said with a smile: "No , I think you are great. Even though your feet are injured, you still insist on finishing this dance. It's really amazing!"
I clapped my hands excitedly and laughed, "My grandfather said that as long as you persist, you will succeed."
The conversation between these two people is so emotional that it makes my nose sore. However, I am indeed a very persistent child. As long as it is something I like, I will work hard to complete it.
Grandpa suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, Xia Cao is really obedient. You always remember what grandpa said. You are such a good child. Xia Cao, just tell me what delicious food you want to eat, and grandpa will buy it for you."
No way, grandpa bought me delicious food just because of something I said when I was a kid? So I took the opportunity to list the things I wanted to eat. Grandpa's face changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the money will be paid!"
"Why me?" Dong Chong looked innocent.
Gradually, the children on the stage finished their first round of performances. When it was time for the second round of waltz performances, the host called my name on the stage: "The next contestant is Lin Ruqing. Please ask the next contestant Huangfu Xiacao to get ready in advance."
I stood outside the mirror and watched all this, my heart beating wildly. My foot was injured, and my partner teacher didn't come, so I had no dance partner!
I slowly lowered my head in the mirror and looked at my ankle which was swollen like a bun.
Chu Yuanxi frowned and asked worriedly: "Can you still dance?"
I nodded and replied, "Sure, I can stick to it!"
Chu Yuanxi looked at me with a very strange expression, and finally stretched out his hand and said: "I believe in you, I will cheer for you!"
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was a very simple text message. The content was as follows: "Xia Cao, I'm so sorry. The teacher encountered a traffic accident on the road and is dealing with it. I can't get to the scene in time."
"Ah——" I immediately looked at Chu Yuanxi with a sad face, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, my dance partner can't come."
"What? Doesn't that mean you can't participate in the next competition?" Chu Yuanxi looked at me with regret.
"But it doesn't matter, there will be next time. This competition is held every year. I'll wait for next year!" I pulled the corners of my mouth, but tears began to well up in my eyes.
"Hey, Huangfu Xiacao, why are you crying?" Grandpa suddenly asked.
"Ah, how could I cry?" I insisted, why couldn't I cry? My childhood dream was to be a dancer, but that unlucky dance teacher stood me up.
"Since you want that trophy so badly, go get it yourself!" Dong Chong's words were like a shot of adrenaline, and my eyes lit up instantly. I immediately opened the bottle and chanted the spell...
Why didn't I think of that? I am Huangfu Xiacao...
When Chu Yuanxi saw me, he couldn't help but be surprised. I was sitting on the chair and screamed, "You, you, who are you?"
I smiled and looked at my younger self who was sitting on the chair with his head down and an unwilling look on his face, and said, "Xia Cao, eat something first. You are tired too, go to the lounge and have a rest first!"
I handed Xiao Xiacao a bag of snacks and watched her walk towards the lounge.
Then he turned around and said to Chu Yuanxi: "Chu Yuanxi, come here!"
Chu Yuanxi looked confused, then said in surprise: "Xia, Xia, Xia..."
"Don't say 'Xia' anymore, it's my turn now. Can't you dance the waltz?" I said, and pulled him to change clothes. Finally, when the host called my name, the two of us went on stage arm in arm.
Now I finally know why I won the championship!
As the music started, Chu Yuanxi and I danced in front of so many people for the first time, and it was a very graceful waltz. But I hadn't danced for a long time, and I was a little nervous at first, not knowing whether to step with my left foot or my right foot.
"Relax, daredevil, it's okay, I'm here with you! Now that we are here, we must win this prize back for your childhood self. I won't let you down!"
Chu Yuanxi looked at me affectionately, making me forget for a moment that I was on stage. The noisy sounds in my ears gradually faded away, and the whole world was left with only this person in front of me, spinning me around and around...
With warm applause, the song ended and we had a perfect ending!
I originally thought that this competition would be the regret of my life, but unexpectedly I won the grand prize.
Chu Yuanxi, thank you, you really touched me.
I placed the certificate and prize next to Xiao Xiacao who was sleeping in the lounge, then chanted a spell and traveled back with Chu Yuanxi.
One day.
"Huangfu Xiacao, are you there?" Chu Yuanxi's voice, which was octave higher than usual, came from the balcony.
"What's the matter?" I walked over with my hair messy and my slippers clacking.
"Um, did we really travel through time that day?"
I rolled my eyes helplessly: "Chu Yuanxi, Chu Yuanxi, you have asked me N times!"
"So, I really saw you when you were in the first grade of junior high school?" Chu Yuanxi was still very excited.
Oh, God, you might as well let me die in a blaze of glory!
"Daredevil, I want to see what you looked like when you were younger!"
God, I want to be your angel!
"Huangfu Xiacao..."
Ahhh——
I want to travel through time. I want to travel to a place where Chu Yuanxi doesn’t exist!
I never want to see this nagging guy again!
