It was already the beginning of winter in the capital.
The bright moonlight outside the house shone in, as if a layer of cold frost had formed on the ground. He didn't know which window was not closed tightly, but a trace of cold wind blew in.
Although the three people in the house could no longer feel the cold because of their own power, the atmosphere seemed to be completely frozen.
Gu Ting didn't know what the Ai Ci and Espoir said. He only saw Espoir leave with a regretful expression and pain in his eyes.
When the Ai Ci removed the vacuum cover,
Her face had already turned from gloomy to sunny.
"Are you okay?" Gu Ting was a little worried.
"What could be wrong?" The Ai Ci looked at him with a smile.
There was nothing wrong with her expression.
Gu Ting thought for a moment.
He asked, "Do you want to drink Coke?"
The Ai Ci's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
Gu Ting had just curled up an imperceptible smile, but the Ai Ci's next sentence successfully made his face darken.
"Good boy." The Ai Ci praised him with a smile.
Her face was filled with the affection of an elder.
Gu Ting, who had just opened the refrigerator door, silently closed it again.
He turned around and crossed his arms as he looked at the Ai Ci with a cold face. "There's no more Coke."
"Children can't lie." How could such a little trick hide from the Ai Ci? She looked at Gu Ting with a smile and shook her finger.
Gu Ting's face darkened. "I'm not a child."
"Okay, okay, okay." The Ai Ci said perfunctorily.
She directly raised her hand and opened the refrigerator door through the air.
With a grab of her hand, a box of Coke flew directly towards her.
Since she had already confessed her identity to Gu Ting,
She became unbridled and unscrupulous.
The Ai Ci caught the box neatly with one hand.
With a beautiful spin, she sat down on the sofa.
She pulled the tab open.
She said, "Now that you know that I'm not human,
Don't worry about whether drinking iced Coke is bad for my body. Furthermore … "
She crossed her legs and took a sip of her cola. She looked at Gu Ting lazily and tapped at her side with one hand.
His eyes were bright.
His tone was unhurried as he said,
"I'm the elder.
Do you understand? "
Gu Ting looked at her expressionlessly and decided not to continue the conversation. He changed the topic and said, "You drink so much cola. Won't the carbon dioxide you produce make the greenhouse effect worse?"
"…"
When the Ai Ci heard this, she silently put down the coke can in her hand.
How could this person's ability to grasp the main point be so strong?
The Ai Ci paused for a while before saying, "There will be a little impact, but compared to the carbon dioxide emitted by humans, it's really negligible."
That being said, the Ai Ci felt a little uncomfortable when she drank the cola again.
She was actually the closest to humans out of all the Air Elementals.
Although she often said that she didn't care about air pollution and the greenhouse effect, these were the problems of mankind. But in fact, in the Air Elementals, the only one whose mood would be affected by the air quality was her.
Seeing that the Ai Ci was obviously hesitant and that her favorite cola was no longer drinking, Gu Ting couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by what he had just said.
Of all the topics to change, why did he have to change it to this?
Looking at the Ai Ci's obviously conflicted expression, Gu Ting suddenly stood up.
The Ai Ci looked up at him in confusion. Gu Ting explained, "I'm going to the study to make a phone call."
"Oh." The Ai Ci nodded randomly. After being reminded by Gu Ting, she was disappointed that she could no longer drink cola as she pleased. She didn't care much about what Gu Ting was going to do.
Gu Ting looked at her again before walking into the study.
"Hello, Xiao Li? It's me, Gu Ting … How's the operation of the charity foundation? "
Xiao Li was the person in charge of the charity foundation under Gu Ting's name. When he suddenly received a call from Gu Ting, he was obviously a little panicked. Why did the great leader suddenly call to inspect in the middle of the night?
Xiao Li hurriedly said, "Yes, the foundation has been operating in an orderly manner. Previously, there was Hope Primary School in City A and B Town, and …"
He listed a few projects. Gu Ting listened to him talk about the operation of these projects before saying, "Yes, very good. Xiao Li, it's like this, I want to start a new project. "
"What project?" The sound of Xiao Li opening a notebook and preparing to record came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Ting's low voice had a trace of almost imperceptible gentleness as he said, "Planting trees."
"Ah?" Xiao Li's voice was obviously a little surprised. "But President Gu …"
Xiao Li couldn't help but remind him, "We are an education charity foundation!"
Let them plant trees? Did he find the wrong person?
Gu Ting said, "Then set up another environmental charity foundation."
Xiao Li: "Ah?"
Set up a foundation just like that? Was it so swift and decisive?
Gu Ting: "You have experience, so I'll leave the matter of setting up a new foundation to you. I'll send you some of my current ideas later."
"…"
"Don't worry, I'm not being impulsive. This will definitely be a long-term project."
"…" On the other end of the phone, Xiao Li said a bunch of things again.
Gu Ting waited for him to finish before saying, "Money is not a problem, just do it."
Before hanging up the phone, Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "President Gu, why do you suddenly want to do this?"
Although Gu Ting's account had various donations flowing to different charity foundations every year, the charity foundation under his own name was currently only in the direction of education. It was really a bit of a surprise that he suddenly wanted to start an environmental protection project.
Gu Ting remembered how the Ai Ci loved to talk nonsense with a straight face. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and try to sound serious as he said, "It's so that my family can drink as much cola as they want."
Xiao Li:??? What the hell? Great leader, are you really happy to be mischievous?
Gu Ting didn't say anything more to Xiao Li. He hung up the phone and walked back to the living room. Seeing that the Ai Ci had only drunk one can of cola after such a long time, she looked listless.
Gu Ting said, "It's okay, just drink if you want."
He strode over with his long legs and sat down next to the Ai Ci. His tone was calm but inexplicably domineering: "I'll plant as many trees as you drink."
"Huh?"
The Ai Ci was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was going to plant trees to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by her drinking cola.
"Okay!" The Ai Ci slapped Gu Ting on the shoulder. "Xiao Ting is so filial!"
Gu Ting: "…"
Did he do all this just to be praised for being "filial"?!
…
Even though Gu Ting refused to be the junior of the Ai Ci, in the next few days, the Ai Ci still regarded herself as an elder and taught Gu Ting how to use the power in his body step by step at home.
The Ai Ci said, "First of all, let the Qi sink in your dantian. Do you know where your dantian is? "
Gu Ting: "I don't know."
"It's here." The Ai Ci placed one hand directly on Gu Ting's abdomen.
The heater was turned on in the room and both of them were only wearing thin T-shirts. The warmth quickly spread from her palm to Gu Ting's body.
Gu Ting felt that his mouth was a little dry.
Yes, it must be because the heater was too dry.
The Ai Ci didn't notice his slightly red cheeks and only asked seriously, "Did you find your dantian?"
"… No." All of Gu Ting's senses were focused on her palm. How could he find his dantian?
"Oh." The Ai Ci retracted her hand. Gu Ting was still a little disappointed when he heard the Ai Ci say in a relaxed tone, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if the Qi sinks in your dantian."
Gu Ting, who came back to his senses, "???"
Then what were you doing just now?
The Ai Ci explained, "I just saw on TV that masters must teach their disciples to let the Qi sink in their dantian. Only then can the disciple be initiated, so I used you as a test subject."
The Qi Spirits were self-taught, so the Ai Ci had never taught anyone how to use this kind of power. In order to teach Gu Ting, she could only learn from various teaching experiences.
Obviously, some of these experiences were very unreliable.
Gu Ting, the lab rat, was speechless.
In the end, he still reminded the Ai Ci, "Wuxia dramas where the Qi sinks in the dantian."
"Oh, right." The Ai Ci suddenly understood, "Okay, then just treat it as a warm-up. Let's officially start the class now."
Gu Ting, who was warmed up to the point that his whole body was hot, nodded silently.
The Ai Ci pointed out, "Close your eyes, like this … like this … Yes, feel it with your heart … You will feel the lines of the Qi flow, the strength of the Qi pressure, the composition of the Qi …"
…
When Lin Qing came in with Tian Qi, she saw the Ai Ci and Gu Ting standing very close to each other in the living room. Their bodies were almost stuck together, and their hands were clasped in an intimate manner. From Lin Qing's perspective at the door, it seemed that they were about to kiss.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Qing was shocked and tried to cover Tian Qi's eyes with the back of her hand.
Tian Qi was slapped in the face by his hand, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Lin Qing said righteously, "Children shouldn't look."
Tian Qi: "Then why are you covering my nose?"
"Oh, I miscalculated your height." The short-legged Lin Qing felt wronged and raised her hand to cover Tian Qi's eyes again.
Tian Qi: … But what's the use of covering it now! He saw it a long time ago!
However, the two parties didn't feel anything and let go of each other's hands calmly.
The Ai Ci looked at Tian Qi calmly, "Tian Qi, what are you doing here?"
Tian Qi replied, "I have a commercial performance in the capital tomorrow."
Lin Qing joked, "There are so many activities in the third year of high school, how can you become the provincial champion?"
The Ai Ci said, "As my disciple, you don't need to study all the time, and you can master all the knowledge perfectly."
Tian Qi was about to nod and support his master, but the Ai Ci turned her head and asked Gu Ting, "Right, Gu Ting?"
Tian Qi was a bit confused, "Huh? Why are you asking about Gu Ge?
Tian Qi was stunned for a moment, and a guess flashed through his mind. He asked hesitantly, "Master, am I not your only disciple?"
Ai Ci: "No."
Gu Ting: "Yes."
The two of them gave two completely different answers.
The Ai Ci turned her head and looked at Gu Ting, "Hmm?"
However, she thought about it again and realized, "How can I say that Gu Ting is my disciple in front of others? This is obviously illogical, and it will definitely arouse suspicion. "
The Ai Ci changed her words, "No, you are still my only disciple."
Tian Qi said, "Oh," and thought, "Why is she so happy all of a sudden?"
Tian Qi asked again, "Master, I only have one commercial performance in the next two days, can I stay here and learn from you for two more days? It was all video teaching before, and I feel a bit inconvenient. "
The Ai Ci and Gu Ting answered in unison again,
"Yes."
