Chapter 545: The Last Days of Life
Translator: Alfredo Poutine Soup Editor: DesTheSloth
‘I have no na and I don’t know who I am. I got awareness unconsciously.’
‘I can see many people passing by my side. They sotis stop here and talk with each other— finally, I found out they were humans.’
‘Gradually, I found that I enjoyed their words, from which I could know many things, so things were interesting, so things were good and so things were bad.’
‘I would listen to all those things carefully, even though they were not aware of this.’
‘But I still enjoyed this so much, because... I couldn’t leave this place.’
‘I know that I am a tree. I took root here deeply and will go deeper and deeper in the future...Suddenly, I wish to walk around soday if possible.’
‘I would go to those places that were ntioned in their words and have a taste of those foods.’
‘But, when can I leave this place?’
‘It’s hot in the sumr, so I like the rain. But it’s cold in winter and my leaves will fall down. I hate that.’
‘When can I leave this place?’
‘How many... years has it been since I have been here.’
‘I am so lonely.’
...
‘Recently, there is another annoying thing! Ahh, it’s really annoying! What are these human beings throwing on !’
‘They are so heavy that they may damage my branches. I hate them! I hate them so much! Would you stop doing that?’
‘Humph! I would never help you to achieve your wishes!’
‘How... how can I help you with that... When... When can I leave this place?’
‘It’s winter again, I hate it.’
‘Where are the sparrows? Why don’t they co here... People don’t go out often now. I hope that sumr will co soon.’
‘When can I leave this place?’
...
‘Then for the first ti I t a person who could talk to ... Oh yes, she said that she was not a person, but a monster, a kind of living creature.’
‘She said that her family na was Long, and she would stay here for a long ti.’
‘She told that I was a tree monster. She allowed to stay here and said I would be able to leave this place soday.’
‘I finally know who I am! I am so happy and I look forward to the day I could leave.’
‘Then, fifty years passed.’
‘Just like Miss Long said, I am able to move... but just a little, within a field of about ten ters around.’
‘But I am very happy with that, really happy... Just one thing—people keep putting more and more of those things on !’
‘The old ones fall down, then the new ones would co up again.’
‘Alright, don’t worry about this. I would like to keep practicing how to move further and further!’
...
‘Haha! I can finally move so far! Today, I reach a place ten kiloters away from here—This is the first ti.’
‘Another fifty years passed during that ti.’
‘As per the human saying, am I an old lady now? Not at all!’
‘When would you stop throwing these to ? I really can’t help you... So, don’t bla , okay?’
...
‘There is a mischievous boy, he is so mischievous... I have never soone like this before! What are you doing! He even climbs on my body!’
‘Although many people did this for these years, they are not the sa as you—You even stood on and peed down on people under the tree!!’
‘Pee! On !! It is unbelievable!!!’
‘He is so bad! So bad!!’
‘Haha! You are punished? You naughty boy!’
‘Does that hurt? You know what you did wrong? You deserve it! I am so happy to see you cry! Hahaha!!’
‘He is Xue Shao.’
...
‘I have never seen such a naughty boy! Xue Shao, do you know how many new leaves and branches are damaged with you climbing up and down?’
‘But, I will forgive you as you since you helped removed these decorations!’
‘Humph, you should say thank !’
...
‘Today... Xue Shao didn’t co.’
‘It feels that sothing is missing and I am unhappy.’
...
‘You caught a cold... Humans are so weak. But you seem to be a little taller.’
‘Ah, you’d better grow up quickly and don’t bother all the day!’
‘I worry about you all day that I can’t focus on my practice now.’
‘Ah... You little bastard, how could you climb so high, you are going to die! You... you really fell down!! Little bastard! !’
‘I bit my teeth and broke my own branches. I finally hooked this little bastard!’
‘It’s hurt, so painful!’
‘You little bastard! You always cause trouble!! It hurts !!’
‘But... you are alright now, it’s fine.’
‘Don’t climb so high next ti, little fool.’
...
‘Hey, you little bastard, why don’t you climb up today? So you learned a lesson yesterday? Not bad.’
‘Wait! What are you doing!! How dare you throw that on , too?’
“Big tree, Mom said that God saved , but I think it was you. Thank you! Let make a wish for you!”
‘No one... no one did this for before.’
“Never.’
‘Why I am crying?’
‘Little bastard!! I hate you!! You made cry!!’
‘But, thank you.’
...
‘Today, Xue Shao didn’t co.’
‘I am unhappy.’
...
‘He ca today... then why not stay a little longer.’
‘He didn’t co here a lot recently.’
‘You... you start... going to play sothing else, football, video gas! Humph! Just play with them!! It is best not to co!!’
‘I hate you! I hate Xue Shao!’
‘Will... will you co here tomorrow?’
...
‘What will happen if I show up in front of you?’
‘It’s so annoying.’
...
‘Since you won’t co here, then let find you there. I have practiced for so many years!!!’
...
‘This is Xue Shao’s junior high school. How is it like to study here?’
‘Ah, don’t run so fast!! You are playing football, don’t be so rude!! See!! You fell down!!’
‘Does that hurt?’
...
‘Xue Shao!! Co on!! Yes!! Co on!! Goal!!’
‘I am so happy that I jumped up! No one could see .’
‘How great it would be if... if I could join them and throw you up?’
...
‘Your mother shouted at you? You always cause trouble.’
‘Humph! Let help you. There is a tree hole here, say anything you want!’
‘Just a tree hole... it won’t hurt!’
...
‘You rarely co here now.’
‘You are a senior high school student.’
...
“Xu Jiayi, I love you!”
‘What are you talking about? Who...who is Xu Jiayi?’
‘I don’t want to hear this. Please, don’t say that.’
...
‘I know you like her, you follow her quietly each day! I don’t want to see you!’
‘Don’t walk this way!’
‘I don’t want to see you!!’
‘If you like her, then go and chase her! Bastard!!
...
“Wishing tree, I heard that you can make people’s dream co true! Before leaving I wish I could be admitted to a good university in the future!”
‘Why do you... make a wish here?’
‘You ca here for the first ti and you want to help you? Are you kidding !! You ugly girl!!’
‘What about Xue Shao! He hasn’t confessed to you!’
‘Please. don’t leave, he will be sad, please.’
...
‘Little fool, she will leave soon, you don’t know that yet!’
...
“She left and went abroad.”
‘I know that... Little fool.’
“I am so sad, I am so sad. I want to cry...”
‘You are crying now.’
‘Xue Shao, don’t cry, please...please don’t cry...’
‘I would do anything you want. Please just don’t let see your sad face.’
‘Please...’
...
“Would you please. help ?”
‘I couldn’t stand the painful look of Xue Shao. In the past few days, I have quietly looked at him hiding in the house alone.’
‘So I decided to refer to Miss Long for help.’
‘But she was unwilling to help , so I kept asking and bothering her!’
“Just for this ti!”
‘She told seriously, ‘We all have boundaries, no matter human beings or monsters. If you break them, you will get punished.”
“No, I won’t regret it!”
‘She helped to seal Xue Shao’s mory of Xu Jiayi’s going abroad, so that he couldn’t rember this thing.’
...
‘Today, I put on a very beautiful dress. For the first ti, I showed my appearance in front of human beings... No, it is just the appearance of another human being.’
‘It is Xu Jiayi.’
‘I lean on myself and waited there for a long ti, I am so nervous.’
‘I see him!’
‘I am very nervous, and I am afraid that he may find out sothing. ‘Xue Shao, would you please buy a piece of cake?’
...
‘All the other students think I am Xu Xin, except Xue Shao, I am Xu Jiayi when he sees .’
‘Thank you, Master Long, for helping so much...’
...
‘I can stay with Xue Shao every day now.’
‘This little bastard, you should already hold my hand! Be brave! Do you want to take yours first!!’
‘Let... let hold your hand first.’
‘ Damn it!! I really want to die... I actually held his hand first!!’
...
‘Every day we spend together, every store we go to before, every...
‘We are always together.’
‘You placed the second decoration on and wished that you can always be with Xu Jiayi.’
‘I am not... Xu Jiayi.’
‘I also want to be with you all the ti.’
‘Forever and ever.’
‘But... you don’t know, I am not her.’
‘It hurts so much...’
‘I really regret it. I don’t like such a feeling. I don’t want this!!’
‘But.’
‘As long as you are happy...’
...
‘One day, I fell suddenly when Xue Shao left.’
‘I never felt like this before... I try my best to get into my body. I am so tired. It feels like I am about to explode.’
‘I didn’t manage to say anything before I lost my conscious.’
‘When I woke up, I saw Master Long frowning and she looked at , saying, ‘I really should not have promised you. You should stop now, and go back to your body to practice. Do you know that a human’s love is a kind of disaster for you... If you continue, you will not be able to go on practicing.’
“No, I won’t!’
‘I am not going to continue my mistakes, no matter whether you agree or not... I will correct that boy’s mory and remove all traces of you in the human world!’
“Master Long, do you want to see to destroy myself right here now?’
“Are you threatening ?”
‘I know she is angry and I almost cannot breathe under her huge strength.’
‘I was crying, “Yes, I will.”‘
‘She didn’t say anything and let leave... I knew she was very disappointed in .’
‘I am thinking about a present for Xue Shao, since his birthday is coming.’
...
‘Just as Master Long said, I got weaker and weaker day after day. It seems that there is sothing devouring my strength and life within my body...’
‘I feel that it will get bigger and bigger. And I will disappear when it swallows ... then sothing bad will co out.’
‘I am scared.’
‘I am not able to rest... I got weaker and weaker.’
...
‘Today... what did I do today!!’
‘I am scared. Trembling!!’
‘I held Xue Shao’s neck!! I don’t know what I was doing! I tried to kill him!!’
‘It was that thing!!’
‘It’s my instinct... my instinct doesn’t want to be swallowed up by it, the instinct drove to kill... kill Xue Yu and let it disappear!
‘My instinct...’
‘I am scared... Xue Shao... I am so scared.’
‘Because I also know that it has grown to the point where there is no way to eliminate it... My instinct is just putting up so final resistance.’
‘But... why did I do this?’
...
‘If... If I were to be swallowed up and forget about you, I would rather... kill myself.’
‘I dug out my heart.’
‘This contains all my strength, what I live on. In this case, even if it eventually swallows , nothing can be obtained.’
‘It will also die when I die.’
‘I made the heart of the tree a crescent and gave it to him... the only man I have ever loved in my life.’
...
‘Gradually, I couldn’t keep going and I stayed with him every day before I disappeared.’
‘I told him that I would like to go to a very good university. I want him to study hard and also go to that university... I hoped he can have a good future.’
‘I preserved until the human college entrance examination.’
‘I can’t hold on anymore.’
‘I slowly lted into my body, and my consciousness could no longer leave my body. Gradually, I couldn’t see anything or hear anything.’
‘I sotis wake up and sotis fall asleep and I don’t know when I will wake up again.’
‘Whenever you pass by, I will open my eyes, I definitely will... even if it is just one more glance at you.’
‘I know that you were admitted.’
‘I know...’
‘I know that...’
‘I know that...’
‘I... know that.’
...
“You don’t have to do like this.”
‘At last, I heard master Long’s voice. She was beside .’
“You will never be able to recover again after digging out your own tree heart, your consciousness will dissipate slowly and finally beco a common tree... You won’t even know who you are in several years.”
‘I said, ‘I am Xu Xin... My heart exists for him.’
‘Master Long stood in front of for a long ti. Finally, she sighed and said softly to , ‘I won’t erase the mory of the human being for the few months. I will handle the things when you disappeared. I will make him have a dream.”
“Thank you, Master Long...”
“Silly child.”
‘Finally... I could not hear anything or see anything.’
‘I don’t know if he is doing well. I don’t know if he will co to again when I disappear and talk to my tree hole.’
‘I won’t know these.’
‘It feels dark... heavy.’
‘Sothing is locking . I know, I can’t leave this dark place anymore.’
‘Xue Shao, will you have a good life...’
‘Will you co across a girl you like...’
‘Xue Shao... I want to see you again.’
...
...
‘All of a sudden, I woke up one day. I could see everything and hear so sounds. And I felt pretty warm.’
‘The evening of that day, I saw a very beautiful light flashing over the night sky, like fireworks. Those star lights fell on my body, which helped gain a little energy.’
‘I am amazed that I could even wake up by myself and not forget the things that happened a few days ago... but I cannot leave this place... Just 2 to 3 ters and I would feel tired, just like before.’
‘I was still very weak... those star lights just brought a little bit of energy.’
‘The surroundings changed a lot... many days must have passed.’
‘Xue Shao... did he grow up? And did he get older?’
‘I probably slept for many years; slept and woke up, woke up and slept, so it seed that I could hold on for a little more ti.’
...
“Xue Shao!”
‘Suddenly I heard this na being shouted from a woman’s mouth— it shocked and woke up! This na woke up!’
‘I opened my eyes and I saw him!’
‘He really got much taller! But I can recognize him at first glance... Brat, you beca so fat!’
...
‘I know 11 years passed.’
‘I know you’re getting married very soon and you bought clothes for the wedding and took photos in the wedding dress store opposite the road.’
‘Oh, move a little aside, the curtains stopped from seeing you!’
‘You’re smiling happily... and the woman you are holding must love you very much.’
‘I am a little bit jealous.’
‘However... it is good to see you again.’
‘I want, to hold your hand one more ti...’
‘I really really want that.’
...
‘But I found that it is good to see him like this.’
‘I always gaze at the wedding dress store and waited for him when I woke up... but this cannot be maintained for long.’
‘I think, the power from those star lights will fade soon... and I may go back to the dark place again.’
‘Then I will not wake up anymore.’
‘But, thank you... for letting see you again.’
...
“Ms. Xu Xin, would you please co out for a second?”
‘I slept for days and suddenly such voice was heard... I was even able to open my eyes and see a guy wearing a mask.’
‘He asked if I wanted to see Xue Shao again and Xue Shao wanted to see . Then he told the reason.’
‘I agreed.’
‘I agreed without thinking.’
‘Xue Shao... this is your last request, how could I deny it? How could I bear to see you lingering in the past... I must see you happy in the future.’
‘I will.’
‘I feel so happy for doing one thing for you, for the last ti.’
‘So, I will show up in front of you with the identity of Xu Jiayi... Finally, let help you with the dream 11 years ago, OK?’
‘Brat.’
‘I... I am really eager to do it once more.’
‘Oh my god, I cried again.’
...
‘We had a wonderful vacation.’
‘Brat... you even said you will introduce your wife to . You want to see cry?’
‘But, I forgive you for the sake that you held my hand on your own!’
‘Xue Shao... have you put down the past forever?’
‘I know you’ve grown up and not the mischievous brat.’
‘At the very end, I still left without saying goodbye... After all, who asked you to spend the tree heart that I sent you!!!’
‘And... I dare not to say goodbye.’
...
...
It didn’t only express a simple answer, but her whole life, Xu Xin’s whole life... All her mories and emotions, her pains and sorrows.
Plus her happiness.
Xue Shao found his tears were dropping down when he ca to his senses. And he had never had a mont like this where he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
She said she was lonely, that was the first cut.
She said he was a brat, that was the second cut.
She said, you didn’t co today, and she was not happy, the third cut.
She said, she t you again, the fourth.
Xue Shao felt his heart was like a sifter with thousands of pale holes. No matter how it beat, it could not provide him with enough warm blood to his whole body.
There was a girl... though it was not a person but a tree soul.
There was a tree soul, who had been staying with him since his childhood, seeing him grow up, experiencing his sorrowfulness and happiness with him.
“You’re fool... is it worth it to do so for ?”
His eyes turned red and said in a hoarse voice, “Is it worth it... I would rather, rather that I never appeared in your life. I don’t want you to die...”
Guilt and pain destroy all his sensibility and had him forget everything important to himself. He looked at the club owner with despair, and said hoarsely, “Tell , you can let Xu Xin go back to before! Tell , what do you want to get from ... everything! Anything!!! I don’t... I don’t want her to die!”
He knelt down, much tears dropped from his eyes, “I cannot forgive the 11 years, 11 years... but I didn’t know that she was Xu Xin... or those things she did for secretly... why not tell ? What was the difference between a human and a monster? I only know that I hurt her! I hurt a girl who paid and spent everything of hers to be around silently... My life, my soul, whatever, whatever.”
“Yeah...” Luo Qiu suddenly asked, “Custor, don’t you care about the thoughts of your fiancée?”
Xue Shao raised his head and asked back, “If you were , what would you choose? The one who was found of and paid everything... or the other one who shred my burdens and relief in tis of poverty with . If you were , which one would you choose? Tell your answer!”
“Sorry, I cannot imagine this situation.” Luo Qiu shook his head.
Xue Shao said sorrowfully, “I cannot treat it as I didn’t know about it. I cannot treat it as I wouldn’t know about that in my life... The long-lasting suffering and guilt will eventually swallow as ti goes. And it is the most unfair thing to Zishan. But no matter how... either way, I am wrong, I should not chase after my previous dream... No! No! if I didn’t chase after it, I wouldn’t even know all that happened! I wouldn’t even know everything Xu Xin did to !”
He looked at Luo Qiu while crying, “Life is most cruel to her than anybody else. So... I cannot forgive myself for not doing anything, or pretending to that nothing happened, and continue with my life... I cannot, hurt two girls I love at the sa ti.”
“I understand.”
Luo Qiu nodded, “Then, let’s talk about this in detail... Custor, as a tree soul born in the world, Xu Xin is too precious, a price that will exceed an ordinary person’s. So, even if you paid everything you owned, it will increase a few years of her lifespan.”
“How many years?”
“30 years.”
“30 years... 30 years...” Xue Shao stood up by holding his legs, “She may find Master Long in 30 years, so she may have more opportunities... 30 years! You were with for 30 years and now I’ll give 30 years back to you. Xu Xin, I won’t let you die! Boss, the trade, I...”
Don’t—!
...
“Don’t!!”
Soone sprung toward his body from the back and hug him tightly, “Don’t, Xue Shao... Don’t, don’t do that!”
“Xu Xin!”
Xue Shao tried to turn around; he could only see a pair of hands on his chest... which was emitting a slight fluorescent light and would disappear soon.
“Don’t turn, please, don’t turn around.”
“Why? Don’t you want to see the real you?”
“Don’t, you know I’m strong-willed. If you turn around, I will not co out forever.”
Xue Shao grasped her hands softly and then nodded. He found that the shop owner vanished... as if he was giving them a little ti to talk.
They hugged for a while... there seed to be nobody else except them in the street.
He ignored it, just hoping ti could beco longer.
“Xu Xin... I finally know your na.”
“Yeah, it’s my na.”
“You’ll be alright very soon, trust .”
That pair of hands suddenly pulled out from his hands then covered his mouth tightly.
He felt her embracing him tightly from the back and heard the sad voice at this ti.”
“I will end my life, yeah I will.”
Xue Shao was shocked by her words.
“I am really going to do that.”
Xue Shao couldn’t stop shedding tears.
Why did she say that so easily...
“It is unfair. I did so much but Xue Shao, you didn’t do anything for , stingy guy!”
Why... why did she say that so easily... why?
“Xue Shao, can you do sothing for ?”
He drew her hands away from his mouth and knew what she wanted him to do for her.
“I can’t see you leave this world. I don’t want that to happen.”
“Do you want ... to leave with regret?”
“No, I don’t... I really don’t want that! Boss!! Now you...”
The hands covered his lips again, very slightly.
“Xue Shao, I am crying and my tears can’t stop... Do you know, that I can end my... Don’t you... want that?”
Why, do you still say that to the end... . You are so cruel to . Xu Xin, are you aware of that?
“So, can you promise ?”
Xue Shao promised with a crying voice.
“You don’t seem to be sincere.”
Xue Shao nodded firmly and said ‘I promise’ loud.
“Then...” she put down her hand, embracing his chest. Her face dropped on his shoulder and she said softly, “Stop thinking of , and go back to your life.”
Xue Shao clenched his fists, his whole body quivered slightly, “Is this... your last wish?”
“Yes, it is!”
“I...” Xue Shao said gently, “I... I don’t know a Xu Xin, I just had a major crush on Xu Jiayi in high school... but she got married and had a kid... I... I don’t know Xu Xin... Is that alright for you?”
“Yes, perfect.”
“I don’t know Xu Xin. I just love one girl and she is my fiancée, we are going to get married soon, O...OK?”
“O...K.”
“I don’t know Xu Xin... Later... later, I will tell the stories of how I fell in love with their mother to my kids... Is that alright...”
“Alright, very good.”
“I don’t know Xu Xin... and later... I won’t... won’t pass by this place... never ever, never ever again... is that alright?”
“Alright...”
Her hands vanished gradually and the feeling of being hugged started vanishing, becoming intangible.
‘Alright’—Her voice lingered around his ears.
Xue Shao could not see the girl from the beginning to the end... he stood there in a daze and knew that nobody was embracing him from the back.
He dug out the soil under the tree, buried the box carefully in the soil; then he sat down and leaned against the tree.
“I will rember this promise forever... Xu Xin.”
He leaned against the tree, falling asleep.
A little fluorescent light started to spread from the place Xue Shao sat, to the whole wishing tree. In a twinkle, all the remaining yellow leaves dropped together.
They dropped, as if grasped by a girl’s hands and covering the sleeping man softly.
One layer after another, like many blankets.
Until the last yellow leaf fell, until the fluorescent light faded, until the sumr firefly vanished from the tree, and gathered together, turning into a figure.
A girl’s figure.
“Boss, can you please co out for a second?” She called to him in a soft voice.
...
“What’s the matter? Ms. Xu Xin.”
“What a mysterious boss, you co as soon as I called you.” As a tree soul, she opened her eyes wide, and said incredibly, “Oh my god, if I t you earlier in the past, I’ll probably not be so miserable like today.”
Luo Qiu found Ms. Tree Soul was really a soft girl...
“I’m just kidding.” She chuckled, “Seriously speaking, let’s discuss one thing alright? You must promise ! Because I’m very good at acting coquettishly and torturing people! Are you afraid of that?”
“As long as it is the custors request,” Luo Qiu said softly.
“Thank you for the star lights from last ti, so that I feel better than before.” She said after a while of thinking, “I thought to reserve a little bit, so that I will not vanish so soon. But now, I’m a weak tree soul, can I buy sothing from you?”
“Yeah... a custor that I admire asked to make it disappear.” Luo Qiu suddenly added, “To let itself be scattered around the city and brought all flowers, grasses, and trees so power of growth.”
“Really... no wonder.” She shook her head, “Let’s talk about the thing we need to discuss, alright?”
“Yes, please.”
She suddenly cried, tears dropping quietly. She sobbed, “Damn it... I cried again... Damn it! Boss, can I buy Xue Shao’s happy childhood?”
“Of course you can.”
“Can you... bless him to live happily with his wife in the future?” She shed tears over so loss.
“Yes.”
She wiped her tears vigorously again and again, but she could not stop her tears from dropping, “Can you... can you... can you let him forget... all the mories about ?”
“Are you sure you want to do that?” Boss Luo asked quietly.
“Don’t... don’t let ... say that again... alright?”
She choked with sobs.
“I understand.” Boss Luo nodded, “Everything will be done as your wish, dear custor.”
...
She ca to Xue Shao, wiping off all her tears to make her look clean; then she stooped down and kissed Xue Shao’s lips.
That was a kiss that froze ti.
“Xue Shao, thank you for being with , keeping away from agitation in sumr and coldness in winter. And you make my heart beat once after another, thank you...” she said in a soft voice, “Don’t rember , please don’t rember ... and rember, I love you the most when you are not with .”
Finally, she looked up to the sky, taking a deep breath and opening her arms, “Ah... I’m going to leave this ti, I’m reluctant to leave you! Hahaha~”
How much happiness and sadness was hiding in that laughter?
Watching this scene, Luo Qiu suddenly pinched his forehead, before shaking his head slightly along with a deep breath.
He walked to Xue Shao, opening his hand. A heart-shaped pendant was placed on his palm.
The tree soul, Xu Xin, gazed at the boss’s behavior with astonishnt... He pushed his hands to send out this pendant, which was hung on Xue Shao again.
“Isn’t that necklace...”
“Just take it as...” Luo Qiu said softly, “a gift.”
The tree soul suddenly faced Luo Qiu, with both hands closed and made a deep bow to this mysterious boss, “I really... really... really thank you very much. At last... at last... thank you!”
Thank you for treating him so gently.
...
Later at 10 p.m., quietness faded from the long street. So people showed up there.
A man was sleeping under a tree with leaves that emitted light... He seed to sleep very well with a smile. Maybe he had a good dream.
But why were there tears?
...
...
‘Ah, I feel like I’m dying.’
Xue Shao felt his head was extrely heavy... He woke up in the hospital.
The doctor said that he fell asleep in the street while hugging a tree and was exposed to the rain, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in ti, or the situation would be much worse.
So for him, it was lucky that he just had a fever.
He still felt his head heavy... why did he hugged the tree while sleeping for the whole night? He could not rember the reason... he felt he forgot sothing important.
He subconsciously played around with his crescent-moon necklace—where did this necklace co from?
‘Forgot it, I should have been wearing it for a long ti. Just leave it here... I feel cool and comfortable anyway.’
At this ti, Wan Zishan pushed open the door.
“How are you feeling?” Wan Zishan asked softly before putting a big bag near the sickbed.
“I’m fine and should get well and leave the hospital in 2 days.” Xue Shao smiled, “It won’t influence our wedding! What’s this? Such a big bag.”
Wan Zishan smiled mysteriously, then moved out the thing from inside... it turned out it was a flowerpot, with a naked root sticking in the soil.
“This is...” Xue Shao suddenly felt a little amazing.
Wan Zishan chuckled, “I don’t know why you held the wishing tree for a night! But it was cut down. I went there and found this root didn’t die yet, so I brought it here secretly! If you’re unwilling, plant it in the flowerpot. Luckily I acted quickly, because at that ti there was a guy, who wanted to pick it up too! I thought I t him sowhere before... in the wedding dress store? I cannot rember that.”
Xue Shao didn’t hear the last part of Wan Zishan’s words, but just looked at it in a daze.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Zishan lay on Xue Shao’s shoulder and asked.
Xue Shao caught Wan Zishan’s hands, shook his head and smiled, “Nothing, but I decided that I’ll tell the story between the wishing tree and I in the future.”
“Yeah, so you need to have it grow up quickly.”
“Yeah, let’s plant it!”
Xue Shao suddenly untied the crescent-moon necklace from his neck, and hung it on the little root.
He felt they matched each other.
