After a day of intense dating, Lingmei and I were walking towards home. When passing by a small garden on the street, Lingmei suddenly stopped.
He took me to a cluster of flowers.
"Amy, what do you think of this flower?"
"What do you mean? It looks pretty~"
"I'm asking you how this flower behaves."
"What does it mean to perform well?"
"Of course it's in the flowers."
"I don't understand what you are talking about. How do you behave? You are not acting."
"Really? Don't you think this gorgeous field of flowers is like a stage play performed by flowers together?"
"Uh...you mean this..."
"Yes, so what do you think?"
"It should be perfect. Everything designed by Sister Aiti pursues perfection. No matter a flower or a cluster of flowers, they all grow just right."
"What if we do this?"
Reimei reached out and picked one of the flowers.
"Oh my God, if you pick flowers, Sister Aiti will be mad! Isn't this just a missing piece?"
I was shocked by Ling Mei’s actions. You must know that in the City of Dreams, it is written into the law that landscape plants cannot be destroyed casually, because Sister Aiti cannot bear her carefully designed works to be ruined by others. There have been many fools before.
They brought the stinky diseases from the earth to the Dream City, and as a result, they were all punished indescribably by Sister Aiti herself. Therefore, nowadays, "cannot pick flowers" has become the most popular saying in the Dream City, just like "must die once".
One of its famous features.
"Yes, that's why this flower patch is so pleasing to the eye. The absence of any flower will destroy this beauty, and the misalignment of the flower arrangement will also destroy this beauty. The individual in the flower patch has the same importance as the whole, there is no
There is no problem if anyone is missing. Maybe a missing flower cannot be distinguished by the human eye from a distance, but this does not mean that this defect does not exist. You can spot it as long as you get close enough. The more flowers are removed, the more
The more defects there are in the entire flower bush, the more obvious they will be. When the number of removed flowers accumulates to a certain amount, the flower bush will no longer be a flower bush, but a broken branch and leaf. It no longer has ornamental value and needs to be eradicated.
Even if new flowers are planted, those still lingering in the grass will not be spared."
Reimei said as she handed the picked flowers to me.
"Uh...what do you want to express?"
I took the white flower that looked a bit like a tulip.
"Even if they are separated from the flower bushes, the flowers that are beautiful enough are also ornamental. They are also very good when placed in a vase or planted in a flower pot. But if there are no flowers in the flower bush, can it still be regarded as a flower bush~?"
Ling Mei waved her hand, and the colorful flowers instantly turned into something like weeds.
"Remi, you're crazy!"
"What are you afraid of? Just plant it again, right?"
Ling Mei waved her hand again, and the weeds turned back into flowers, but this time they didn't look as beautiful as before.
"This flower is of the wrong variety~ and it's planted crookedly..."
"Yes, low-quality flowers are randomly arranged together, even if they form a flower cluster, there is no beauty. So what about now?"
Lingmei continued to wave, and the flowers became uniform.
"It's much better, but these flowers don't look good, so it still won't work."
"How about this?"
This time, some of the beautiful varieties from before appeared in the flowers, but the number was so small that they could only be regarded as embellishments.
"It still doesn't feel good. It looks good but there are too few flowers and not enough momentum."
“So how do you make them look good?”
"Replace it with the original variety, and then install it in the original arrangement."
"like this?"
"Yes...no, there are still some unsightly flowers mixed in."
"That's right. Beautiful flowers stand out among inferior flowers, and inferior flowers are also very obvious among beautiful flowers. The quality of a flower cannot be concealed by other flowers. You can't see just Because I didn’t go close enough and didn’t look carefully enough.”
Reimei waved her hand again, and the types of flowers returned to the original ones, but the arrangement was chaotic.
"What now?"
"It looks very annoying. I want to pluck them all and plant them again."
"how about this?"
"Isn't this a step back? It's a mess, good-looking and bad. It's messy and ugly."
"So Amy can still like the way she was at the beginning, right?"
Lingmei took the flower from my hand, tossed it gently, and let it return to the restored beautiful flower bush.
"Well, it still looks good like this. The messy things are the most annoying."
I nodded.
"However, chaos is what is called nature. There are no rules for naturally formed flower bushes. The varieties and arrangements are chaotic, and there are even many weeds mixed in... But if no one goes to watch it, then no one knows about this flower bush. It is chaotic, because the flowers themselves have no concept of chaos. They think they are growing well, and no one cares if one or two flowers die occasionally. Anyway, the whole flower bush is still there, as long as you can be in it and not be blown away by the wind. Already."
"That's true."
"But you have to know that the vitality of weeds is much stronger than that of flowers. The more beautiful the flowers, the more delicate and delicate they are, and the more vulnerable they are. Growing in such a chaotic environment, they will be the first to die. A group of ordinary flowers have good vitality, but over time they will still be robbed of survival resources by raging weeds. They will either fail and wither in the competition for survival, or give up their essence and assimilate with the weeds. And the weeds themselves interact with each other. There will be competition among the flowers. The nutrients in the same piece of land are limited, and only the strongest ones can survive to the end. In the end, only a sparse weed remains in the once beautiful flower bush, and some unsightly flowers bloom. The small, eye-catching flowers are swaying in the wind. If they are uprooted by the strong wind, then the last flowers will disappear, leaving only the grass blades leaning on the ground. Although these non-flowering weeds can continue to reproduce vigorously, But this land will never be as beautiful as it once was."
“Then how can we keep the earth beautiful?”
"Assign a gardener there, a gardener who is strong enough and careful enough to take care of every flower and eradicate every weed. She may not necessarily water and fertilize the flowers, but she will carefully select the most gorgeous flowers. , cultivate the softest green grass, and then plant these flowers and plants in an artistic way. From time to time, she will prune some long and crooked branches, replace the dead plants with new ones, and eliminate the invasive plants. Diseases and insect pests blocked the violent storm on the other side of the mountain. As a result, the beautiful flowers appeared again, becoming far more beautiful than before. Every beautiful flower and every green grass can grow safely and live in peace. Live a lifetime. And the flower bushes they form decorate the land, bringing beautiful enjoyment to the gardener, making her feel very happy and want to take care of more flower bushes~"
"I understand Ling Mei, our goddess is the gardener, and the flowers are mortals."
"It's good that you understand. Remember, every flower is important. Losing any one will destroy the overall beauty of the flower bush. We have very good eyesight and will find such defects. Don't let inferior flowers
Or weeds are mixed in the flowers. Their vitality is much stronger than the beautiful flowers, and their increase in value will destroy the entire flower bush."
"I understand that every life is important, but don't those inferior flowers and weeds have the right to live?"
"Inferior flowers can be improved in quality through breeding, and as long as you work hard, they will eventually become beautiful. But for weeds, you must either eradicate them or plant them in a distant place where the flowers cannot reach them.
I think weeds also have the right to survive, so I chose the latter. However, I will never allow weeds to overgrow and destroy this beautiful flower bush, let alone allow the flowers to compete with each other for nutrients, causing the flower bush to become uneven.
Not even. I will find enough land to grow these flowers, and I will protect them and watch them grow more and more beautiful and prosperous, covering the whole world... I like flowers very much, but I hope that all flowers
Everyone can be beautiful, at least not too ugly. This is my mission and the goal I will always pursue. Amy, would you rather watch this land become overgrown with weeds, or become a gardener with me and protect it?
Those beautiful flowers~?”
Reimei stretched out her hand towards me.
"Do you still need to ask this kind of question? I have been eager to follow you since the first time I saw you."
I gently held her hand.
"Very well, this is how my lover should be. If you dare to choose to stand by and watch, then I will make your life worse than a weed."
Reimei's tone was extremely cold, but her face showed a smile of success. This strange look on her face was really cute.
"chu~?~!"
"Amy, what are you doing? This is the street."
"I swear allegiance to you~ Can't I?"
"You are not sincere enough, and I am not satisfied. I think that right here, we can remove the disguise and have a real fight with each other, and let the citizens passing by witness our feelings..."
"Ah, it's time to go home, it's time to go home, let's go, Reimei, let's go, it's going to rain if you don't go, let's go, let's go~~~!"
"Amy, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"Stop talking and come home with me quickly! Otherwise I'll die for you!"
