My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1099: Small

Ling Xue often immerses herself in her writing and painting here, creating works full of emotion and depth. Her writing and paintings often reveal her love for life and pursuit of beauty.

Although their professions are very different, this did not hinder their relationship, but made their lives more colorful. They respected each other's work and learned from each other. Zhou Xing would quietly watch Ling Xue paint in her studio, and Ling Xue would wait for Zhou Xing in the garden of the chemical plant to listen to his latest progress in the factory.

Among the 1,881 tribulations faced by Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect, the 87th one presents a warm and lifelike urban neighborhood story. In this level, Ling Xue becomes the proprietress of a well-known restaurant, while Zhou Xing is the owner of the grocery store next door.

Ling Xue's restaurant is well-known in the community for its warm home-style decoration and delicious home-cooked dishes. Her daily life is busy and fulfilling. She goes to the market every morning to pick fresh ingredients and then returns to the restaurant to prepare for the day's business. Her restaurant is always filled with the tempting aroma of food. Customers here find not only delicious food, but also the warmth of home.

Zhou Xing's grocery store is located next to the restaurant, providing a variety of daily necessities and snacks. Although his store is small, it has everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt to daily necessities. Zhou Xing is a kind and amiable shopkeeper. He always patiently talks with customers and understands their needs, so he is deeply loved by the residents of the community.

The two met each other by borrowing and returning soy sauce between the restaurant and the grocery store. As such little things happened, they began to communicate more. Ling Xue would send her own snacks to the grocery store to share with Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing would help look after the restaurant when Ling Xue was busy. They found that they shared a common passion for providing the best service, and this resonance made their relationship heat up quickly.

Among the 1,881 tribulations faced by Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect, the 89th one brings them a scene full of drama and challenges. As a brave and combative general of Hao Qing State, Zhou Xing experienced ten years of battles and finally returned triumphantly, looking forward to reuniting with his beloved wife Ling Xue. However, he never expected that what awaited him was a heartbreaking scene.

Under the sunshine, the capital of Haoqing State was as prosperous as before. The people on both sides of the street were laughing and celebrating the triumphant return of General Zhou Xing. However, Zhou Xing felt extremely heavy in his heart. He found Ling Xue in a dilapidated corner on the outskirts of the city. The former beauty was now mad, ragged, and looked like a beggar. Zhou Xing felt heartbroken.

Ling Xue sat on the street corner, her hair disheveled, her face a bit confused and a bit terrified. When Zhou Xing slowly approached, her eyes were dull, as if she didn't recognize the heroic general in front of her.

Zhou Xing (choked up): "Ling Xue, it's me, Zhou Xing! I'm back, how did you become like this?"

But Ling Xue seemed not to understand what he said. She just muttered something to herself and occasionally let out a few meaningless laughs.

Zhou Xing could not accept such a cruel reality, and he was determined to find out the truth. He visited many servants and relatives in the old mansion, but learned that Ling Xue had encountered an unexpected change shortly after his expedition.

The old housekeeper (lowering his head and speaking in a deep voice): "General, not long after you left for the war, your wife fell seriously ill, and after the illness she became just like what you have seen."

Zhou Xing (brows furrowed): "Serious illness? Why didn't anyone tell me? Someone must have deliberately concealed it!"

As Zhou Xing conducts in-depth investigation, a shocking secret gradually surfaces - it turns out that during his campaign, there was a power struggle within Haoqing country, and because Ling Xue knew some secrets that she shouldn't know, she was secretly drugged and lost all her mind.

Zhou Xing (furious): "How can this be! I must avenge Ling Xue and make those treacherous villains pay with blood!"

In this world full of conspiracy and betrayal, Zhou Xing not only has to face external enemies, but also internal powerful officials. But the first thing he has to do is to find a way to heal Ling Xue and restore her former glory.

After countless hardships, Zhou Xing finally invited a mysterious doctor, who gradually awakened Ling Xue's consciousness with precious medicine. When Ling Xue recognized Zhou Xing again, the two hugged and cried, as if they had regained life.

Ling Xue (tearful eyes): "Zhou Xing, is it really you? I seem to have had a long nightmare."

Zhou Xing (stroking Ling Xue's hair, his voice gentle): "It's me, I'm back, everything will be fine, I swear."

Zhou Xing not only saved Ling Xue, but also cleared out the treacherous villains in the country and stabilized the country again. Their love has withstood the test of time and has been sublimated in suffering.

As time went by, the two gradually developed a deep affection through their daily interactions. Zhou Xing often helped Ling Xue clean and prepare for the next day's business after the restaurant closed. Ling Xue also held small wine tastings in Zhou Xing's grocery store to provide a space for neighbors to communicate. Their joint efforts made the two stores the center of the community and brought them closer together.

Eventually, their friendship turned into love, and they naturally came together. On a sunny afternoon, Zhou Xing proposed to Ling Xue in the restaurant, and the surrounding customers and neighbors applauded and blessed them. From then on, the restaurant and the grocery store were no longer fighting alone, but complemented each other and became a good story in the community, the simple happiness in daily life, and the beauty of finding love in the ordinary.

After getting married, their lives became more harmonious. They had a warm home in a corner of the city. The home furnishings were simple and artistic, and every item revealed their pursuit of quality of life. In the evening, they would take a walk together, enjoy a cup of coffee in a small shop on the corner, or go to an art exhibition together on weekends. Their lives were full of mutual support and understanding. When Zhou Xing faced work pressure, Ling Xue always used her art and warmth to relieve his worries; and when Ling Xue encountered setbacks on the road of art, Zhou Xing cheered her up with his firmness and encouragement. In this way, two seemingly different worlds, under the power of love, merged into a common world full of love and dreams.

Zhou Xingze is a mysterious female assassin agent who excels at covert operations and information warfare. His daily work is more behind the scenes, deciphering codes, gathering intelligence, and making secret plans. His workspace is even more hidden, a dimly lit room equipped with the most advanced computers and communication equipment, where he analyzes data, monitors targets, and plans assassinations.

Although they both work for the same organization, they have never crossed paths before, until they are assigned to complete a seemingly impossible task together: sneak into the headquarters of an international criminal group, destroy its core data and evacuate safely. This task not only tests their personal abilities, but also requires them to learn how to trust and rely on each other.

In the process of preparing for the mission, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing gradually began to understand each other's working methods and thinking patterns. Ling Xue discovered that Zhou Xing was extremely talented in technical intrusion and data encryption, and Zhou Xing was deeply impressed by Ling Xue's decision-making speed and on-site adaptability.

During the mission, the two showed their strengths. Ling Xue was responsible for breakthroughs and sabotage on the front line, while Zhou Xing provided support from the rear, cracking the security system and providing them with a retreat route. In a fierce firefight, Ling Xue successfully destroyed the core data of the criminal group, while Zhou Xing hacked into the monitoring system at a critical moment, buying them precious time to evacuate.

After the mission was completed, the two looked at each other in the safe house, and their eyes were full of new respect and understanding. They knew that this cooperation was just the beginning, and they would face more dangers and challenges together.

Their daily lives are full of such little sentiments and romance. Whether it is Ling Xue's busy figure in the barber shop or Zhou Xing's focused work in the office, they all constitute their ordinary and real life picture. On such days, they not only find a sense of accomplishment in their work, but also find a sense of happiness in each other's company, proving that even in daily life, the miracle and beauty of life can be found.

At night, on this strange planet, they would sit in the hatch of the spacecraft, looking at the star-studded universe and sharing their thoughts and feelings. These conversations deepened their relationship and made them cherish this unique experience even more.

Among the 1,881 tribulations that Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect have experienced together, the 87th one brings them a challenge full of life and humanity. In this level, Ling Xue becomes the proprietress of a well-known restaurant, while Zhou Xing runs the grocery store next door. As time goes by, the two unrelated individuals are gradually attracted by each other's charm and eventually fall in love.

Ling Xue's small restaurant is hidden beside a busy street. The decoration here is warm and lovely, full of home feeling. She is not only famous for her delicious home-cooked dishes, but also for her warm and hospitable attitude to attract every customer. During the peak hours at noon and in the evening, the restaurant is always full. Ling Xue's busy figure shuttles back and forth between the kitchen and the restaurant. Despite the hard work, she always smiles and patiently asks every customer about their needs.

Zhou Xing's grocery store is the first choice for neighbors to shop for daily necessities. From fresh vegetables to daily necessities, the store is small but fully equipped. Zhou Xing is a gentle young man who always greets customers in a calm voice, patiently listens to their needs and offers help. His store is clean and tidy, and the merchandise is displayed in an orderly manner, giving people a comfortable and reassuring shopping experience.

The two met because of the cooperation between the restaurant and the grocery store - Ling Xue needed to purchase some ingredients and daily necessities from Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing would occasionally come to the restaurant to enjoy a meal after a busy day. At the beginning, their relationship was limited to pure business dealings, but as time went on and the number of visits increased, they began to notice each other's uniqueness.

Ling Xue was touched by Zhou Xing's gentle attitude towards everyone, while Zhou Xing was gradually attracted by Ling Xue's unyielding spirit and sincere attitude towards customers. Their business interactions gradually evolved into private exchanges, from discussing business trivia to sharing personal preferences, and the relationship between the two quietly changed.

One rainy night, when Zhou Xing was helping Ling Xue close the restaurant, the two had a long conversation under the dim light until late at night. The rain hitting the window seemed to add a romantic atmosphere to this relationship. They finally expressed their special feelings for each other frankly, and at that moment, everything seemed so natural and inevitable.

Since then, the restaurant and grocery store are no longer their separate businesses, but part of their shared life and dream. They find happiness in the little things in their daily lives, whether it is developing new dishes together in the restaurant or planning special offers together in the grocery store. Through joint efforts and a common vision for the future, their lives are filled with sweetness and hope.

Finally, the mission was completed and they returned to Earth with rich data and samples. On the way back, the two had more time to reflect on the journey, and they had a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the universe and a deeper understanding of each other. This space journey is not only a physical journey, but also a spiritual leap. In the 81st tribulation faced by Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect, they were brought into a world of apocalyptic literature and became a mother and son struggling to survive. This is a chaotic and dangerous world with scarce resources and little hope. They face various challenges every day.

Ling Xue plays a tenacious mother who not only protects her "son" Zhou Xing, but also ensures that both of them can survive in this cruel environment. Zhou Xing is very sensible, and although he is actually Ling Xue's junior, he helps Ling Xue in this scene with a maturity beyond his years.

Their daily life is full of rush and uncertainty. Every morning, when it is light, Ling Xue starts to get busy. She carefully checks whether the shelter they live in is solid. After confirming that there is no danger around, she prepares breakfast with confidence. The food is usually simple and crude, sometimes some wild vegetables that can be found on the wasteland, and sometimes canned food that is collected with great effort. Although the diet is monotonous, Ling Xue can always make every meal full of the taste of home through clever combinations.

Under Ling Xue's guidance, Zhou Xing would be responsible for some work within his ability, such as collecting firewood, cleaning the house or looking for available resources nearby. Despite the harsh environment, Zhou Xing never complained, knowing that every bit of his effort was necessary for survival.

At night, Ling Xue would teach Zhou Xing how to identify the traces of various plants and wild animals, and how to protect himself when in danger. She also told stories about the world before the end of the world, when the world was full of color and light, and people lived in abundance and peace. Listening to these stories, Zhou Xing's eyes would always sparkle with a yearning for that unreachable world.

In such days, the relationship between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transcends blood ties. They depend on each other and are the most solid support for each other. Whenever Ling Xue feels desperate, Zhou Xing always encourages her with his optimism and courage.
