When he received the news from Master Xiao, he was really confused.
Epiphyllum?
Where could he go to find this epiphyllum at once?
When he was distressed, Chi's father, who overheard him talking, said that one of his former patients had night flowers in his home.
It's just that time has passed a little long.
I don’t know if the other party is still raising Epiphyllum?
...
Hearing that it was Master Xiao who wanted Epiphyllum, Chi's father immediately called him.
Because the other party has often come to Chi's house to give gifts during the holidays in recent years.
Therefore, Chi’s father had the other party’s phone number.
...
Chi Xiuchuan explained: "It happened that one of my father's former patients had epiphyllum."
"And when I called him, I learned that his epiphyllum will bloom tonight."
"I felt so lucky at that time."
Having said this, Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but smile.
"But they have waited a long time for the epiphyllum to bloom."
"I'm embarrassed to just borrow Epiphyllum."
"We could only wait until they saw the Epiphyllum blooming and then hurried over with the Epiphyllum."
"Sorry, Master Xiao, am I late?"
Xiao Xiao's previous performance made Chi Xiuchuan vaguely guess something.
He had stepped on the maximum accelerator on the way here.
On the one hand, the time for the epiphyllum to bloom is extremely limited, and he was worried that Master Xiao would not be able to see the blooming epiphyllum.
On the other hand, he knew that Master Xiao was in a hurry.
It was the first time he heard Master Xiao, who was always unhurried, gentle and polite, speak so fast.
He also became more and more nervous.
But, hurry up and hurry up, is it still too late after all?
...
"No, you're not late."
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky.
When the moon reaches its zenith, the bright moonlight makes the summer night sky clearer and clearer.
The moonlight was like water, slowly flowing over Xiao Xiao's open palm.
...
Xiao Xiao slowly closed his palms.
The hands hang naturally at the sides.
"Thank you, Achuan."
Because of you, the mayfly saw the blooming epiphyllum at the last moment of its life.
...
He could clearly feel Mayfly's joy and satisfaction at that time.
However, Xiao Xiao felt a little regretful.
He originally wanted the mayfly to see the moment when the epiphyllum blooms.
But he also knew that he was wishing too much.
It is so difficult to find an epiphyllum, let alone an epiphyllum that is about to bloom.
...
However, he always thought that if he saw the epiphyllum blooming, he would be even happier than before, right?
Probably...he is greedy.
...
Chi Xiuchuan shook his head, with a smile on his face and eyes, "Master Xiao, I am very happy to be able to help you."
"It's good that it's not too late."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped smiling a little, "But, the flowers withered."
...
"It doesn't matter."
"It's already seen."
Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze from the moon, and then his eyes fell on Chi Xiuchuan, who was a little confused. The corners of his mouth turned up, "It is very happy."
This is enough.
Even though the result seemed imperfect to him, it still had some regrettable shortcomings.
But as long as the mayfly is happy, that's fine.
...
"Yeah?"
Chi Xiuchuan did not ask who it was.
"That's great."
He has become accustomed to ignoring some of Master Xiao's words and deeds that are difficult to understand.
If he should know, Master Xiao will tell him.
If you can't tell him, even if he asks, it won't help.
Because he knew that Master Xiao would not tell him softly.
...
"Achuan, please make a trip tonight."
"It's already very late, you should go back."
"Be careful on the road."
Xiao Xiao waved his hand and wanted to turn around and leave.
...
"Master Xiao, I'll take you back first."
Chi Xiuchuan's insistent look made Xiao Xiao shrug.
Without saying anything else, he walked to the door on the other side and got in the car.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Won't."
...
"Achuan, be careful on the road."
"goodbye."
Xiao Xiao stood at the entrance of the alley and waved to Chi Xiuchuan who was in the driver's seat.
"Master Xiao, goodbye."
This time, Chi Xiuchuan simply drove away.
...
Watching Chi Xiuchuan's car disappear from sight, Xiao Xiao, who was about to turn around, suddenly stopped.
He couldn't help but look up at the bright moon in the sky again.
...
The sky is vast and the stars are few and far between.
The moonlight is like gauze, as thin as cicada wings, and its bright clear light fills the whole world.
Everything is so quiet and beautiful.
...
After Xiao Xiao watched quietly for a while, he turned and walked into the alley.
The footsteps are silent.
The long shadow slowly disappeared into the darkness deep in the alley.
...
"Master Xiao Xiao."
White Snake stood up, and its bright-colored pupils were not charming at all. Under the moonlight, they showed a bit of crystal clearness and hardness.
"You don't have to feel guilty."
"You've done a great job."
...
"I don't feel guilty."
Xiao Xiao was stunned by White Snake's words, and then he shook his head with a bit of laughter.
He has tried his best.
If so, why should he feel guilty?
...
"I just feel a little emotional and sad."
Such a short life.
God is really too stingy.
Since life is given, why can't it be longer?
At least give the monster enough time to see what it wants to see.
Instead of such a rush and a sudden glance.
...
"This is Mayfly."
The little white fox tilted his head and looked at Xiao Xiao above, with a bit of confusion and matter-of-factness in his tone.
"Mayflies are such short-lived monsters."
There was a look on the fox's face that was quite disgusting with Xiao Xiao's expression at this time.
After so many years, human beings are still as sentimental as they remember.
How weak.
...
Xiao Xiao:......
He stretched out his finger and tapped the little white fox's head gently.
"I know."
From the first sight of a mayfly, you know that it only has one day to live.
At that time, he didn't have any deep feelings.
...
However, later he had to admit that knowing was one thing.
Emotional acceptance is another matter.
...
When he saw with his own eyes that Mayfly, whose life was about to come to an end but could not even realize his only wish, he became really anxious.
Even though the time we got together was short, "mayfly" was no longer just a noun to him.
But a living monster.
is his friend.
...
When he lost his spiritual power to the mayfly, he had this thought lingering in his mind.
If only his spiritual power could stop Mayfly's body from disintegrating.
If only his spiritual power could keep it alive longer.
How can one day be enough?
In such a vast world, he hoped that Mayfly could see more and more.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the four seasons change.
The rushing river, the towering mountains, the vast sea...
Also, the blooming of epiphyllum.
pity......
His spiritual power is almost useless.
In the end, the mayflies completely dissipated in this world when the moon was at its zenith.
