God's Gift

"Who taught me?" Jianyue looked Yu Youyou up and down, "Then I won't tell you."

"What, you won't tell me?" Yu Youyou blinked her watery and harmless eyes twice, brought Jianyue closer to her, and said with a smile:

"If you don't tell me, I'll eat you right now."

Jianyue was stunned, and after staring at Yu Youyou for a few seconds, he quickly changed the topic:

"You were lying. How could I not tell you?"

"My friend in the wind taught me."

"A friend in the wind?" Yu Youyou was a little confused. "What kind of friend is this?"

Seeing that Yu Youyou didn't understand, Jianyue explained: "Friends in the wind always follow the wind and come singing."

Yu Youyou frowned and continued to ask: "Have you seen what this friend looks like?"

Jianyue shook the flower bud and said, "No."

"Okay then." Yu Youyou pursed her lips, and quickly put the matter aside. She put Jianyue on the ground and waved at it:

"Let's go, bye."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the flower bud shook a little, and the slender roots rubbed the ground. When the two turned around, they asked:

"Why are you asking me this? Do you want to be friends with it too?"

Lu Keming, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the man and the flower, heard this and his eyes flashed, and he looked sideways at Yu Youyou.

"Be friends?" Yu Youyou thought for a while and shook her head. "Not really, I'm just curious."

Having said that, she raised her foot and was about to leave.

"Wait." Jianyue spoke again to stop Yu Youyou. After hesitating for a while, he asked awkwardly, "Where are you going?"

"Go..." Yu Youyou held up her head and thought for a while, "The second ring..."

She raised her head and looked at Lu Keming, "What is that restricted area called?"

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's questioning gaze, curled up a smile, and leaned over to answer:

"No-go zone."

Yu Youyou smiled and shook her head, and the ponytail on her chest swung along, "Oh, by the way, it's a restricted area."

"The restricted area... is deep in the city of despair, right?" Jianyue's voice rose, as if he was a little surprised, and he spoke faster: "I want to go there too, take me with you."

"Take you with me?" Yu Youyou looked at Jianyue's rhizome. After leaving the soil for a while, the moisture on its rhizome had evaporated a lot.

Jianyue thought that Yu Youyou hesitated because she didn't want to take it with her, so she snorted coldly and said angrily:

"We rarely leave the soil. You tricked me out. Aren't you prepared to take responsibility?"

When Lu Keming saw Yue getting angry at Youyou, his eyes turned cold and he said in a sharp voice: “You can go back.”

Jianyue was frightened by the sound and her arrogant look just now disappeared. A few green leaves curled up together and moved in small steps to Yu Youyou's feet.

Yu Youyou didn't think too much about it. She held Lu Keming's hand, gently squeezed his palm, and then looked at Jianyue:

"If you leave the soil, won't you die from lack of water?"

"Of course not." Jianyue was a little proud when she heard this, "I am the unique and unrivaled Jianyue Flower in the world."

"I no longer need to rely on roots to absorb water."

"I stay here just because it's the most comfortable place. When I don't like it here anymore, I will get out of the ground and move to another place."

When Yu Youyou heard this, he touched his chin and said, "Then you are quite amazing."

Even flowers can leave the soil and run around. The mutation of these creatures is really interesting.

"Of course." Jian Yue's leaves, which had shrunk because of being frightened by Lu Keming, stretched out, and she proudly held the flower bud on her head. "Then can you take me away now?"

"Okay." Yu Youyou thought about it. It didn't matter to it anyway. Besides, this little thing talked a lot and was quite interesting, so she answered generously: "Then come with us."

"Youyou." Lu Keming didn't want to bring up such a variable, but when he looked at Yu Youyou's innocent eyes, his tone instantly compromised: "Okay."

Yu Youyou bent down with a smile and picked up Jianyue from the ground.

Jianyue shook her leaves happily and used her roots to wrap around Yuyouyou's wrist, but she quickly became reserved and said in a pretentious manner:

"I knew you would take me with you."

Lu Keming looked at Jianyue wrapped around Yu Youyou's wrist and pursed his lips.

But seeing Yu Youyou smiling, Lu Keming lowered his eyes, hiding the dissatisfaction in his eyes, holding Yu Youyou's other hand, and said in a cold voice: "You know this again?"

"I am the most beautiful flower in the City of Despair. I am the only one in the world, a moon-bearing flower. Even the moon rises for me every day. Who wouldn't like me?"

Seeing the moon's leaves fully stretched out, supporting the purple bud on top, his voice was full of pride.

"Right?" Jianyue patted Yu Youyou's arm with a leaf.

Yu Youyou sniffed the scent of Ye Li and others lingering in the air, took Lu Keming's hand, walked in that direction, and answered Jianyue.

"You are quite good-looking."

"Hmph." Yue Jian snorted proudly, pretending to be indifferent, but the shaking leaves revealed its happiness, "I knew it."

"But why do you feel that the moon rises for you?" Yu Youyou looked down at Jianyue wrapped around her hand and asked curiously.

Lu Keming also followed Yu Youyou's gaze and looked towards Jianyue.

"Of course it rose for me." Jianyue raised the flower bud and looked up at the sky, and answered shyly:

"Whenever the sun sets, the moon will rise from the east and accompany me all night long. I know it must like me very much. And I will sing for it every night."

"It's just a pity that it can't talk, so no matter how many times I express my love to it, it never responds to me."

Yu Youyou had a strange expression when she heard Jianyue's touching confession. "Of course it can't respond to you."

Jian Yue raised her bud in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Because it has already died." Yu Youyou answered seriously:

"He's been dead for a long, long time."
