God's Gift

Chapter 260 Sweet

After hearing Lu Keming's answer, Yu Youyou leaned on Lu Keming's shoulder, glanced at his profile, then slowly retracted her neck and buried her head in his back, not speaking for a long time.

Seeing that Yu Youyou didn't say anything, Lu Keming also calmed down. He just carried Yu Youyou on his back and walked step by step along the canal.

"In fact, human life is much longer than that of an ordinary dog, so it is often the dog that dies first."

"Will humans be sad too?" Yu Youyou buried her face, her voice a little unclear.

Lu Keming stopped walking, the light flickered in his eyes, there was a little bit of residual warmth, he replied: "Maybe."

"But just like Youyou said, human life is too long. There will be many things that may make you sad for a day or two, but you will soon forget them."

"Time is so long, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will eventually fade away with time."

Yu Youyou fell silent again and grabbed Lu Keming's clothes and held them in her hands.

Lu Keming sighed softly, and the sigh soon dissipated in the wind.

“No.” After a long time, Yu Youyou suddenly said, “No matter how long it takes, I will always remember it.”

Lu Keming paused, a smile spread across his eyes, and he replied softly, "Okay, I'll always remember it."

Yu Youyou nodded on Lu Keming's back, and the two stopped talking. The street was still crowded and brightly lit.

The night breeze brought a faint scent of flowers. Lu Keming looked up and saw that a willow branch above his head had grown a few small white flowers, emitting a not-so-obvious fragrance.

They turned out to be some early blooming catkins.

Perhaps this spring is much warmer than in previous years, and the willow trees were deceived by the warm spring sun and bloomed early.

There was a hint of surprise in Lu Keming's eyes, and he subconsciously called Yu Youyou on his back.

"Yuzu."

"Hmm..." Yu Youyou responded after a long while. There was an unconcealable sleepiness in her voice, and she answered Lu Keming in a daze.

When Lu Keming heard her sleepy voice, he quickly shut his mouth and stopped calling Yu Youyou, and his pace also slowed down a lot.

He glanced at the catkins with tenderness in his eyes, and walked towards the general's mansion with Yu Youyou on his back.

He walked across the bluestone bridge and crossed the long street until the noisy voices and bright lights gradually faded away, and then he arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.

Yu Youyou was still sleeping soundly on his back, her soft face resting on his back, and the warmth passed through the fabric to his vest.

Lu Keming stood in front of the door, looking at the lantern hanging on the eaves, and mosquitoes were flying around the fire core.

After a long time, a cool breeze blew by, and Yu Youyou slowly woke up. She looked up and found that she was already outside the general's mansion. She rubbed her eyes and asked dazedly:

"Why didn't you call me?"

"It's only been a while." Lu Keming put Yu Youyou on the ground and said, "I didn't see the sugar painting grandma you mentioned along the way, so I brought you back here directly."

"It's okay." Yu Youyou stood on the ground, stretched, and said, "There's plenty of time anyway. We can always find it."

When Lu Keming heard her say "we", although he did not respond, the smile on his face deepened and he nodded slightly.

"Then I'm leaving." Yu Youyou waved to Lu Keming and said, "Keming, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow." Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou waving goodbye to him and nodded.

Then he watched Yu Youyou walk around the main gate as if she was familiar with the place, go straight to the corner of the courtyard wall, crawl into a dog hole, and enter the general's mansion.

Lu Keming twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, took a deep breath, and then turned and left.

When he returned to the long street again, the lanterns were still bright, and people were still coming and going under the lights, but he suddenly felt lonely.

In fact, in the past hundred years, he has always been a loner, with no friends or relatives, and the only person who saved him only regarded him as a knife.

Lu Keming has long been accustomed to it.

Yu Youyou's arrival changed everything. When he walked alone into the bustling street again, looking at other people's joy and excitement, he began to feel lonely.

This reminded Lu Keming of the beautiful dreams he had in the past few days.

The dream was chaotic and illogical. After waking up, I had forgotten what happened in the dream, but those broken pictures were deeply imprinted in my mind.

She smiled at him, turned and fled into the dark forest.

Under the starry sky, the moonlight danced among the vines, and her body was surrounded by glowing plants. She was like an elf living in a cave, far away from the world. She smiled, took his hand, and led him to climb the ladder to heaven.

In the black fog, she stood in front of him.

Those absurd and bizarre images kept circling in his dreams, tearing his world apart and making him wander on the edge of fantasy and reality.

But after he woke up from his dream, throbbing, suffocation and pain came one after another.

It seemed that he had loved her for a long time without him knowing it.

But this was clearly the first time they met.

Lu Keming stood on the long street, noisy sounds constantly pouring into his ears, and a bizarre world reflected in his eyes. His brain began to tear apart again.

As his world was spinning upside down, a somewhat old and deep voice reached his ears.

"Young Master, would you like to buy a sugar painting?"

Lu Keming turned his head and looked at the stall next to him, where an old woman with a kind face was sitting with several ready-made candies on the stall.

Lu Keming pressed his brows and looked at the old woman, only to find that this was the sugar painting lady that Yu Youyou was looking for. He responded.

"Ah."

"Okay!" When the old woman heard Lu Keming's agreement, she immediately set up the iron pan and asked while heating the sugar, "What shape do you want to make?"

Lu Keming looked at the sugar painting templates, thought for a long time, and said:

"A fish..."

"Okay." The old woman nodded and immediately started to work. After a while, she made a lifelike carp and handed it to Lu Keming.

Lu Keming picked up the carp silently, frowned slightly, and whispered: "It doesn't seem to be the case?"

"What kind of fish is it, grass carp?" the old woman asked in confusion, "Or sweet-scented osmanthus fish, catfish?"

Lu Keming lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, but still didn't know what kind of fish he wanted. He shook his head silently, handed the old woman a few coins, and turned to leave.

The golden sugar painting shone under the light. Lu Keming picked up the sugar painting and put it in his mouth and took a bite. The hard sugar quickly melted in his mouth and the sweetness spread in his mouth.

too sweet.

Yu Youyou likes to eat this?

Lu Keming walked in the night holding the sugar painting. The cool breeze from the river bank made the sugar painting melt in his mouth.

In this cold night, the candy is as sweet as an illusory dream.
