How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Who chickened out? Huh? Who chickened out!"

Hongli stared wide-eyed at herself: "When have I ever been a coward? Who have I ever been afraid of!"

"Don't talk about things that are either true or false."

Hei Yang gave him a dead fish look: "If you're not scared, then go ahead and do it. Don't be the one who drags us down."

"I'm holding you back? Haven't I always been the one carrying the team?!"

Hongli retorted, "I'm lost because I've never been to where the elders live!"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Hei Yang pointed expressionlessly to the right side of the screen: "There's such a big arrow sign, are you blind? Can't you see it?"

Hongli: "!!!"

There was a road sign that had appeared by the roadside at some point, with text written on it.

[Elder Huo Le's Habitat: Follow the arrow forward 800 meters to reach the next landmark.]

[Kids, if you have any problems you can't solve, or if you're having psychological troubles, feel free to come to me, Elder Huo Le. I'm always here to listen to you!]

There's a smiley face drawn on the back!

"No, when did you suddenly appear here? Have you really been here all along?!"

Hongli pointed at the road sign and exclaimed in surprise, "No, you fucking... I fucking..."

So why would the elders specifically set up these road signs? Shouldn't the elders be very busy every day?

"Tsk tsk, let's just follow the arrows."

Hei Yang couldn't help but smirk: "Now you don't have any excuses, do you?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Hong Li pouted and reluctantly headed towards Elder Huo's hideout.

One step, two steps, small shuffles, stepping in place...

"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far!"

Hei Yang said speechlessly, "You're about to be overtaken by a snail, so hurry up."

"Okay! I got it!"

Hongli retorted angrily, "What's with the rush! You damned ghost, Heiyang!"

"I do not care."

Hei Yang snorted: "I'm going to the post station to see if there's a reply. You must get one before I get there, or you'll see!"

"Tch, who's afraid of you..."

Hongli pouted and quickened her pace: "I still say the same thing, life is only so long, why walk so fast..."

We should slow down, take in the magnificent scenery along the way, and observe the diverse people we meet...

Honestly, dating you is so unromantic!

So, marriage is indeed the grave of love? I reckon it's already halfway to the ground...

"Romance or something..."

Hei Yang muttered under his breath, "My mom said that from the day she got married, romance ended and reality began."

The topics of conversation between her and my dad changed from flowers and jewelry to who earns money and supports the family, who cooks today and who washes the dishes tomorrow, who takes care of the child, and what to do if the child cries...

Oh, back then, I was one of those extremely rebellious kids, probably even more of a headache for everyone. I'm so ashamed..."

"Ugh, stop reading, stop reading! I already feel like everything ahead is bleak, just listening to it makes my head spin..."

Hongli paused mid-sentence, then suddenly froze: "Wait a minute..."

"What's wrong?"

"We're fucking..."

Hong Li's lips twitched: "It seems like it's always been like this, isn't it? Who pays for today's meal? Who prepares tomorrow's snacks..."

Hei Yang: "..."

"like……"

Hei Yang also realized: "Is that really the case?"

"Damn! So we're just skipping the romance phase and going straight to the grave?!"

Hongli looked grief-stricken: "What jewelry, what flowers, I don't think I have any!"

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang turned his head away somewhat guiltily: "What do you need that kind of thing for? It's useless..."

"That's what I said..."

Hongli said unhappily, "But whether to use it or not is a different concept from whether we have it or not!"

"Isn't the end result the same anyway..."

"Does every path lead to the grave?"

"perhaps……"

"..."

Hongli remained silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "So, in that case, we don't need to be afraid of any conflicts after we're together, because these problems have always existed, and we're actually used to them?"

"That's right, their youth is as vibrant and passionate as a song..."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes: "When you and I are old and reminisce about our youth, we'll find that the act of reminiscing about youth can begin in our teens, because youth ends before it even begins."

"sad."

"Pity."

"sigh."

"sad."

"No, I feel we have to do something different!"

Hongli clenched her fists, looking indignant: "Does being a lazy bum mean you don't deserve a passionate romance?"

"Good idea, we need to make some changes."

Hei Yang said calmly, "So you promised, don't play dead tonight."

Hongli: "!!!"

"Actually, I think things are pretty good as they are now!"

"Tsk tsk..."

"Stop being sarcastic! Do you want me to use your own blood to paint your youth?!"

"whispering sound……"

Hei Yang looked at the post station in front of him and glanced at Hong Li: "So, I've arrived. What about you?"

"I...I arrived a long time ago!"

Hongli looked at the small wooden house in front of her. The sign on the door clearly read "Elder Huo Le's Home," constantly reminding her that she had not gone to the wrong place.

"Hmm, Elder Huo Le's residence looks rather unimpressive..."

Hongli muttered under her breath, "It's just like an ordinary room."

"Then why don't you go in?"

"I know, I know!"

Hongli waved her hand impatiently: "Then I'll knock on the door, I'm going to knock, I'm really going to knock!"

Chapter 172 When you feign illness to get a sick leave note from your teacher for an improper reason...

"Xiao Li?"

"what?"

"You don't have to go in if you don't want to."

"Really?!"

"fake."

Hei Yang replied expressionlessly, "Hurry up and go in."

"Wait a minute, let me get myself together!"

Standing under the window on the side of Elder Huo's room, Hong Li tugged at the hem of her clothes and tiptoed to peek inside: "I have to make sure the elder is here, right?"

"Just knock on the door, and everything will be solved."
