Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

Chapter 77 Paper Boat Floating in the Water

Xun Diexin planned to find Shurou today. She had already thought about how to apologize to Shurou. She put the apology gift she wanted to give to Shurou today into her bag and went out with a nervous mood.

The weather is sunny and rainless today. Shurou should still be sitting outside painting alone, and Xun Diexin is standing far away, still in the same place as when they first met.

When Ye Shurou saw her coming, she went into the house. While Xun Diexin was still thinking about her own problem, Ye Shurou appeared in front of her with a bag on her back.

Ye Shurou walked away from her without saying a word, and she followed behind.

Xun Diexin said, "Shurou, don't ignore me."

"Let's go to our destination first, and now we shouldn't talk."

"Oh!"

Ye Shurou brought her to a meadow in the mountains. The grass leaves were green, as if they had just grown. The only drawback here was that there were too many pools of water, so they had to be extra careful when walking.

When they arrived under a tree, Ye Shurou put her backpack under the tree, and Xun Diexin also put down her bag.

Xun Diexin said cautiously: "Shurou, can I speak now?"

"Well, tell me!"

"My brother said we were both right."

"He's right, both of us are right." Ye Shurou said, "Die Xin, have you ever thought about why we quarreled over this issue?"

Xun Diexin didn't dare to think about it: "I know, we are all affected by the environment. Shurou, you are right. Willpower cannot control my emotions at that time. I was wrong."

Ye Shurou said: "Die Xin, I have thought about it for a long time. I think that although we play together, we are still not from the same world."

Ye Shurou separated her and Die Xin, which made Xun Die Xin very painful.

Xun Diexin said: "Shurou, we don't have to stay in this world. We can go to the solar system, to any place in the universe. Outside this world, we still have many places to go. Outside this world is an infinite and vast world. We can fly forever and don't have to worry about anything. Shurou, when scientists figure it out, we will take a spaceship and leave this world."

Ye Shurou smiled and said, "Die Xin, it's great to have you in this world."

Xun Diexin's eyebrows opened: "Shu Rou, you smiled, I am so happy."

Xun Diexin clapped her hands after she finished speaking.

Ye Shurou apologized, "Die Xin, I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself and said something very harsh to you. I regret saying that now."

Xun Diexin said: "I have forgotten, Shurou, there is no distance between us."

"Well, there is no distance." Tears flashed in the corners of Ye Shurou's eyes.

"Shu Rou, I want to give you a few things." Xun Diexin put her bag in front of her.

"what?"

Xun Diexin took out Shurou's painting and said, "This is a painting of you that I drew. It took me a long time to draw it. I hope you like it."

Ye Shurou picked up the painting and unfolded it, saying, "Your painting is very beautiful. I like it very much, Die Xin."

"Wait, I have something else to give you." Xun Diexin took out the bouquet of ginkgo leaves she had prepared: "Shurou, at first you gave me a ginkgo leaf, and now we have many ginkgo leaves since we met. I picked a lot of them and made a bouquet."

Ye Shurou smiled and said, "You've almost plucked out all the ginkgo trees, but thank you for being so thoughtful."

Ye Shurou took the flower and said, "Thank you for considering me. If it gets bigger, the schoolbag won't be able to fit it."

"I originally wanted to hold it, but then I thought that a surprise should be invisible to others, and then I should take it out in an instant." Xun Diexin handed an empty flower to Ye Shurou.

"Hahaha! Diexin, I like you like this." Ye Shurou put the bouquet of ginkgo leaves aside, and then hugged Xun Diexin: "My Diexin, my brother told me that people who have been together for a long time will have conflicts. I know there will be conflicts between us, and then we will resolve them. Conflicts will arise again and be resolved again. The longer we are together, the more conflicts we will have. But it doesn't matter. I want to be with you. I will definitely not ignore you forever just because we quarrel. If I am angry, I will find a quiet corner, and then I will argue with you when I am not angry anymore."

Xun Diexin hugged Diexin tightly and said, "Shurou, I was wrong about this matter. I caused it. I shouldn't have argued with you about those things. Later I thought about it. In fact, there is no point in arguing about this issue. What's important is you and me. I just want to be happy with you and don't want to make you sad. I'm sorry, Shurou, thank you for forgiving me."

"It's okay. I also want to give you a small gift." Ye Shurou took out "The Little Prince" from her bag and took out two leaves from it: "Die Xin, these are autumn ginkgo leaves, golden yellow. It's a pity that you were not there at that time, otherwise you could watch the ginkgo leaves dancing in the wind with me, and then it would be golden and glittering in the sun, just like entering the beautiful scenery in an oil painting."

"Thank you Shurou, it's so beautiful. I will be free when I go to college, and my brothers will be free too. When we graduate, we will make money and buy a house. We will plant a ginkgo tree in front of the house, and we will be able to see it every day." Xun Diexin opened the painting tutorial book that Shurou gave her in her bag and put the ginkgo leaf between the books.

Xun Diexin was about to put the book in her bag when Ye Shurou gave her another ordinary leaf: "Diexin, this leaf fell on my head. Aunt Chen Juan told me that it represents good luck. I want to give it to you."

Xun Diexin did not take the leaf: "Shu Rou, thank you, this lucky leaf belongs to you, it is given to you by nature, I should not accept it, I have you is my greatest luck, I don't want any other luck."

"Die Xin, okay then!" Ye Shurou put the leaf back into the book: "Having you is my greatest luck, but when this leaf fell on my head, there was another leaf that fell into the puddle, and that was this one."

Ye Shurou gave the leaf that fell into the water to Xun Diexin: "Diexin, I saved this leaf. I hope you can protect it well. I think they are a pair of leaves, and we are also a pair. We will be together forever, and they will be together forever too."

Xun Diexin carefully spread the leaf in her hands: "Well, Shurou, I will protect this leaf well."

Xun Diexin continued, "Shurou, we've been here for so long, but it seems we haven't visited Aunt Chen Juan yet. How is she doing lately?"

Ye Shurou said: "Well, because you are here, I came to play with you. A few days ago, I went to her place and she was playing with shrimp strips."

Xun Diexin asked, "Did her children come back during the Chinese New Year?"

Ye Shurou said, "Well, Chen Juan prepared many delicious treats. It was a very lively day. The brothers and sisters also wanted Aunt Chen Juan to come to their place, but she still didn't agree. She seemed to have a lot of thoughts about this place. But she seemed to be living a good life every day. I often went to accompany her in the fall and winter. She was living a good life."

Xun Diexin said: "That's good, are we going to see her today?"

Ye Shurou said: "I want to play here for a while before leaving."

Xun Diexin pointed at the puddles on the ground and asked, "There are many small puddles here. Should we swim in them? I feel like we have to become little people, as small as the little prince, to be able to swim in the water."

Ye Shurou smiled and said, "Do we really have to go swimming? If we become as small as the little prince, the water will be too deep for us! Think about it? Will we drown?"

Xun Diexin covered her face and said, "Let's stretch our legs out like giraffes, so we won't drown in the water."

Ye Shurou laughed and said, "Hahaha! Die Xin, then you turn into a little person with long legs, and I'll watch you swim. That will be more fun."

"Shu Rou, stop laughing at me. So what do you think we should play here?"

Ye Shurou took out the origami she had prepared and said, "Let's make a boat!"

Xun Diexin was very good at folding small boats when she was with her brother: "That's too easy. I'm good at folding small boats with eaves."

"The one with eaves? I don't know how to fold it. I can only fold the ordinary ones. Please teach me!"

"Ah."

Xun Diexin began to fiddle with the small piece of paper: "Just like this, look, it finally becomes a boat with a roof."

Ye Shurou clapped her hands and said, "Wow, Die Xin, you're amazing."

Ye Shurou also showed her own boat: "I folded it too. Let's release the boat in that big puddle!"

"it is good."

They walked together to the big puddle, and the two small boats were gently rocking on the water.

Xun Diexin picked up a stick and gently disturbed the water: "Shurou, look, they are shaking."

Ye Shurou also used a stick to disturb the water surface: "Will they sink?"

Xun Diexin said: "We should do it gently and let them float."

"It seems that if I stir the water, they will float."

"Well, because of the ripples."

Finally, they let the two boats float quietly on the water, with the sky above the water blue and white clouds as their companions.

Xun Diexin looked at the boat next to them and said, "Shurou, does this look like a wishing lantern? Wishing lanterns also float in the water, but there is no fire on our boat."

Ye Shurou said: "I have never seen a wishing lantern, but we can make a wish here."

Xun Diexin asked: "Shurou, when is your birthday?"

"On January 1th."

"Mine is on December 12th, so our birthdays are quite close. So I can celebrate your birthday during the Chinese New Year next year?" Xun Diexin thought of the Chinese New Year.

Ye Shurou said, "It seems so! I usually don't celebrate my birthday because my parents don't celebrate their birthdays either. If my brother were here, he would quietly celebrate it for me, but I still want to thank you."

Xun Diexin said: "Don't be polite, we are all good friends. I will go back and think about what gift I should give you."

Ye Shurou said: "I may not be able to celebrate your birthday, but I can prepare a gift and give you a surprise when you come."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the Spring Festival." Xun Diexin's legs were numb from squatting, so she stood up and stretched them.

Ye Shurou also stood up: "Then let's make a wish to the boat."

"Ah."

The two girls placed their expectations and hopes for the future in the floating boat, but the boat floating in the puddle would capsize due to natural factors, just like they could not reach the other side of their wishes.

After making a wish, Xun Diexin asked, "Shurou, what wish did you make?"

Ye Shurou replied: "Die Xin, if you tell your wish out loud, it won't work. I can't tell you."

Xun Diexin thought: "That's right, I shouldn't ask, how about when the wish comes true, we tell each other that it was our wish?"

Ye Shurou said: "Okay! I will tell you when my wish comes true."

Xun Diexin asked again: "Then do we want to play other games?"

Ye Shurou said: "No, I brought you here today just to put this boat here with you, let's go to Aunt Chen Juan's house!"

"Ah."

Suddenly, there was a sound of a kitten. Xun Diexin looked into the bushes and saw a small black shadow. She said excitedly, "Xiao Hei, Shurou, it's Xiao Hei."

Xun Diexin ran over and hugged Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, why are you here?"

Ye Shurou also ran over to pet Xiao Hei: "Sometimes I meet him on the road, and he seems to know me."

"Yup!"

"How did it know we were here?"

"I followed you quietly when you came out!"

“She’s so smart.”

"Ah."

Ye Shurou said: "I want to hug it."

"Okay, here you go." Xun Diexin handed Xiao Hei to Shu Rou, and then said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, she is Shu Rou, and we are both your mothers."

Ye Shurou also said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, we are your mother."

Xun Diexin carried the two bags on her back: "Shurou, I'll carry your bag for you."

"Okay, thank you."

"no thanks."

Ye Shurou smiled and said, "Hahaha! Die Xin, your responses are always unexpected."

“I can also do the unexpected.”

"Okay, let's go!"

"Walk."

There were many puddles along the way. When they reached the forest, a leaf appeared in a puddle in front of them. Ye Shurou bent down and picked it up.

Ye Shurou asked: "Die Xin, where were we at first? Where were we at the end?"

Xun Diexin replied: "I don't know. If I think about the past, I will feel lonely."

"Die Xin, I'm the same as you, but after I told you this problem, I won't be lonely when I fantasize again, because you are by my side at the beginning and you will be by my side at the end."

"Shu Rou, we don't have to think so far ahead. There is a lot ahead of us and a lot behind us, but we are always together."

“It’s such a wonderful thing to be with you.”

"Well, let's think about the future."

"In the future, I will live with you and chat all day long, but only every once in a while, because the rest of the time, we will have to find things to share with each other."

“Philosophy, art.”

When Xun Diexin recalled the time she and Shurou spent that day, she always felt nostalgic. They would quarrel at that time, but things were fine later. Until now, she still didn't know what Shurou's wish was, and their promise was never fulfilled.

Did God ignore their wishes?

Xun Diexin thought it was her own fault. She really wanted to know Shurou's wish and then help her realize it in her limited life. Unfortunately, she would never be able to do so and could only guess.
