My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1278 Incentive

They organized volunteers to carry out environmental protection publicity and voluntary labor. They also launched a public welfare campaign called "Protecting Qingyou Valley" and called on more people to join them.

As time goes by, the "Protecting Qingyou Valley" campaign has achieved remarkable results. More and more people have begun to pay attention to this land and participate in the protection of the environment and culture. As a result, Qingyou Valley has become more beautiful and full of vitality.

The story of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue spread throughout Qingyou Valley. They became heroes and role models in people's minds, inspiring more people to pursue their dreams and happiness.

On a sunny day, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue came to the place where they first met again - the ancient stone bridge. Holding hands, they stood on the bridge and looked down at the stream and the mountains in the distance. Recalling the past, their hearts were filled with emotion.

"Ling Xue, do you still remember the first time we stood here?" Zhou Xing asked softly.

"Of course I remember." Ling Xue replied with a smile, "At that time, I was still a young tour guide, and you were just a strange tourist. I didn't expect that fate would allow us to meet, know each other, and fall in love here."

"Yes, everything is so wonderful." Zhou Xing said with emotion, "If we hadn't met that time, perhaps we wouldn't have come to this point today."

"But we are together now, and we will keep going together." Ling Xue said firmly.

Zhou Xing nodded and held Ling Xue's hand tightly: "Yes, we will keep going. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter ahead, we will face them together hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder."

After saying this, Zhou Xing gently kissed Ling Xue's forehead. They smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with longing and expectation for the future.

Years passed, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue still stayed on the land of Qingyou Valley, and they used their actions to interpret their love and persistence for this land. Their story also became a legend in Qingyou Valley, passed down by word of mouth and praised from generation to generation.

In the days ahead, no matter how the wind and rain change, or how the world changes, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue will go hand in hand and never leave each other. Because they know that true love is not just the romance and sweetness under the moonlight, but also the mutual support and perseverance in difficult situations; and true happiness is not just personal satisfaction and enjoyment, but also the deep attachment and selfless dedication to this land and the people here.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue can be seen every morning and evening in Qingyou Valley. They walk hand in hand on the forest path, or stand shoulder to shoulder on the top of the mountain and look into the distance; they tell ancient stories to tourists together, or participate in environmental protection and cultural protection activities together. Their smiles are as warm and bright as the sunshine in Qingyou Valley; their stories are as long and moving as the streams in Qingyou Valley.

In this way, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue wrote their own legendary story in the beautiful land of Qingyou Valley. They used their love and perseverance to prove that as long as there is love, dreams, courage and responsibility, you can create your own happiness and a bright future.

One day, Zhou Xing accidentally learned that Ling Xue's Internet cafe was in a small alley not far from his company. He walked into the Internet cafe with excitement, and the memories of the past instantly came to his mind. The Internet cafe was filled with the familiar smell of cigarettes and a faint aroma of coffee. There were still long tables full of computers, but the tables and chairs were a bit old, and the walls were slightly mottled. Ling Xue was busy sorting the goods behind the counter. When she heard the familiar voice, she looked up, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which was soon replaced by a complicated expression.

"Zhou Xing? Why are you here?" Ling Xue's voice trembled a little.

"Lingxue, long time no see. I heard you opened this internet cafe, so I wanted to come and see you." Zhou Xingxing walked forward and looked at Lingxue carefully. Time had left some marks on her face, but her eyes were still bright and firm.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you?" he asked softly.

"I'm fine, just busy every day." Ling Xue answered with a smile, but there was a barely perceptible hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Look, this is the Internet cafe I once dreamed of. Although it is not big, it carries too many of my memories and sweat." Ling Xue took Zhou Xing to visit the Internet cafe and told him about her experiences over the years. She talked about the difficulties and setbacks she had encountered, and also talked about the friends she made because of the Internet cafe. Zhou Xing listened quietly, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He saw Ling Xue's growth and strength, and also saw that she still adhered to her original intention in the face of reality.

"In fact, I have always admired you." Zhou Xing said sincerely, "You have not been defeated by the pressure of life, but have managed this small Internet cafe successfully."

"You're not bad either, Zhou Xing." Ling Xue said with a smile, "Your Internet company is now very famous. I've heard about your deeds."

The two smiled at each other, as if they were back in high school. However, behind the smile was a subtle sense of distance. Their lives have taken different paths. Zhou Xing's world is high technology, big projects, and business competition; while Ling Xue's world is the trivial affairs of the Internet cafe and the joys and sorrows of ordinary customers. This gap makes them feel a little embarrassed and uneasy in the joy of reunion. Since then, Zhou Xing often comes to Ling Xue's Internet cafe in his spare time. He will sit in the corner, open his laptop to handle some work, and occasionally chat with Ling Xue to listen to her ideas and stories. Ling Xue will make him a cup of hot tea, and watching him concentrate, she feels an inexplicable touch in her heart. In this world, it seems that only in this small Internet cafe can Zhou Xing temporarily forget the troubles and pressures in business and find back the tranquility and innocence he once had.

However, the good times did not last long. With the development of the city and the adjustment of cultural policies, the Internet cafe industry faced increasingly strict supervision and fierce market competition. Ling Xue's Internet cafe business was gradually hit, with fewer and fewer customers and a significant reduction in revenue. She began to get anxious and didn't know what to do. She tried to upgrade equipment and launch promotional activities, but the results were not satisfactory.

Late one night, after dealing with the company's urgent affairs, Zhou Xing came to Ling Xue's Internet cafe as usual. However, he found that there were only a few customers in the Internet cafe. Under the dim light, Ling Xue was sitting alone behind the counter in a daze.

"Ling Xue, what's wrong? Is business bad today?" Zhou Xing asked with concern.

"Well, business has been getting harder and harder recently." Ling Xue raised her head, her eyes full of fatigue and helplessness, "I don't know how long I can hold on."

"Don't lose heart, there must be a way to get through this difficult time," Zhou Xing consoled.

"Maybe I can help you with publicity and use the power of the Internet to make your Internet cafe lively again."

Ling Xue smiled bitterly: "Zhou Xing, I know you mean well, but this is not an easy thing to do. My Internet cafe is small and has limited funds. How can I compete with those big Internet cafes?"

"You can go the route of specializing in business." Zhou Xing said after thinking for a moment, "For example, hold some theme parties, cultural lectures and other activities to attract specific groups of people. I can help you contact some online media for coverage."

Ling Xue's eyes flashed with hope: "Is it really possible? But I don't know how to organize these activities."

"It's okay, I'll help you plan it." Zhou Xing said confidently.

With Zhou Xing's help, Ling Xue began to try to organize various special events. They held an anime theme party and invited some anime fans to the Internet cafe to interact and exchange ideas. They also held a literary creation lecture and invited local writers to share their writing experience. These activities attracted a lot of attention, and the Internet cafe's business gradually picked up. Ling Xue's face bloomed with a smile again, and she was full of gratitude to Zhou Xing.

On the edge of a bustling city, there is a famous travel agency that gathers tourists from all over the world and breeds countless travel stories. Zhou Xing is one of the highly praised tour guides in this travel agency. He is tall and handsome, with an upright posture and a pair of bright eyes that seem to hide endless curiosity and desire to explore the world. Whenever he stands in front of tourists, his confident and gentle smile can instantly bring everyone closer.

Zhou Xing has been yearning for distant places since he was young. The magnificent mountains and rivers and ancient legends in his textbooks planted the seeds of travel in his young heart. After graduating from university, he resolutely devoted himself to the tourism industry. With his solid knowledge reserves and excellent communication skills, he quickly emerged in the industry. Whether it is a historical city in China or a romantic capital abroad, he has left his footprints. Every experience of leading a group is like a unique adventure, and he has witnessed all kinds of life in his journeys.

On the other side of the city, there is a well-known ancient garden attraction, where pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, rockery and ponds complement each other, and the changing seasons bring different beautiful scenery, attracting many tourists. Ling Xue is a guide in this garden. She is slim and gentle, with long black hair often tied into a simple ponytail. She walks lightly and gracefully. Her voice is like a clear spring in the mountains, crisp and pleasant, and every word seems to carry the charm of history. She can tell every scene and every story in the garden vividly.

Ling Xue has a deep affection for this garden. She grew up nearby and listened to the stories of the garden's changes from her elders. She is very familiar with every plant and tree here. In order to better convey the charm of these cultural treasures to tourists, she studied historical materials diligently and constantly improved her interpretation skills. In her eyes, every tourist is a traveler who is about to embark on a cultural journey, and her mission is to be the key that leads them into the depths of history.

The gears of fate always turn quietly without anyone noticing. On a sunny spring day, the travel agency arranged a tour group to visit the ancient garden, and Zhou Xing, as a tour guide, naturally had to accompany them throughout the trip. At the gate of the garden, Zhou Xing met Ling Xue for the first time. At that time, Ling Xue was smiling and welcoming groups of tourists. She was wearing an elegant cheongsam embroidered with delicate floral patterns, like a graceful woman walking out of the misty rain of Jiangnan. Zhou Xing's eyes were immediately attracted by her, and Ling Xue also noticed this tall and clear-eyed man. When their eyes met, it was as if an invisible electric current passed through, and an imperceptible ripple instantly appeared in each other's hearts.

Zhou Xing led the tourists to slowly enter the garden, and Ling Xue began her wonderful explanation. She started with the history of the garden's creation, telling how the dignitaries of the past carefully built this paradise, the ingenuity behind the carved beams and painted buildings, and the profound artistic conception symbolized by the rockery and strange rocks. The tourists were all fascinated by her and gathered around her, exclaiming in amazement and praise from time to time. Zhou Xing watched Ling Xue silently from the side, and his admiration for her arose spontaneously in his heart. He knew that it was not easy to explain such a complex and profound cultural connotation so clearly, understandably and fascinatingly, but Ling Xue did it. Her professionalism and love for the garden were fully revealed in her words and deeds.

As the tour progressed, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had more opportunities to communicate. Under a quiet corridor, Zhou Xing took advantage of the time when tourists were taking a break to take pictures, walked to Ling Xue and said softly: "Your explanation is great, I can feel your love and respect for these cultures." Ling Xue blushed slightly and responded softly: "Thank you, in fact, every time I explain it, it's like I get to know this garden again, and there are always new insights and gains." They chatted naturally, from the cultural value of the garden to the development of the tourism industry, from their respective growth experiences to their visions for the future. Gradually, they found that they had many common hobbies and concepts, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time, without any barriers or strangeness.

In the next few days, the tour group continued to travel around the scenic spots according to the itinerary, and the friendship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue was quietly heating up. They would share the interesting things they encountered during the trip in their spare time, and would also discuss how to better convey the local cultural characteristics to tourists. Once, the tour group came to an ancient temple. The Buddha statues in the temple were exquisitely carved, but the history and culture behind them were little known. Zhou Xing wanted to give a brief introduction according to the conventional explanation, but Ling Xue took the initiative to offer to add some more detailed content to him. She started from the origin of Buddhism, and talked about the different Buddhist meanings represented by these Buddha statues and people's piety to religious beliefs in the social context of the time. Zhou Xing listened carefully, and looking at her focused and enthusiastic appearance, a warm current surged in his heart. At that moment, he realized that Ling Xue was not only an excellent tour guide, but also a partner with a deep understanding and perception of culture. He longed to spend more time with her and explore more unknown and beautiful things in this world together.

However, good times are always short-lived. The tour group's journey is about to end, and Zhou Xing is about to face a new mission. As the day of separation approaches, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue are reluctant to leave.
