Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

The weather on Wednesday morning was different from usual. There was no sunshine anymore, the sky was overcast, and the air was full of autumn coolness. As they walked through the campus path to the back mountain, it started to rain lightly. The rain was so light that it was difficult to leave traces on Aecilia's school uniform jacket. Most of the students had no intention of covering up the rain.

Lucius murmured in her ear about the strange news in the back mountain, and the surrounding classmates also came over to listen curiously. Later, they talked about which cafeteria had the best steamed pork ribs. When two female classmates argued about "adding salt to steamed pork ribs" "It's best to just put lotus leaves in it." Caleb suddenly patted her shoulder.

"Esilia, why have you been silent all this time? Is it because you don't like this rainy day?"

Aecilia shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, Professor Albinia, who was walking in front, stopped, stretched out her hand, broke off a leaf the size of a cattail leaf on the roadside, and covered it above her head.

This kind of plant is very common on the roadside. The students following the professor followed suit and picked the larger and more beautiful green leaves to cover their heads.

Caleb cut off the stem of a large green leaf and handed it to her:

"Take this to cover up."

The green leaves that suddenly stretched out blocked most of her sight. She took two steps back slightly, said thank you and then raised the green leaves. She saw that more than 90% of her classmates were pinching green leaves or holding up green leaves. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that they each had their own. Thousands of ways to use magic to escape the rain.

Continuing to walk forward silently, a female classmate named Anna Solo softly hummed a popular song. Her voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly, and the discussion gradually subsided. Albinia looked back, smiled and joined Anna Solo.

"Water hibiscus swaying in the rain..."

"The wind knocked off the white petals..."

"Our shadows are reflected on the lake..."

"Huayeshui is entangled with us..."

The crowd crossed the boundary between the cement floor and the mountain forest, and more and more voices joined in the chorus. The melodious and lyrical songs floated and echoed in the jungle. However, the silence and tranquility of the back mountain were not broken. The birds on the treetops He lowered his head and watched people passing under the trees.

Aecilia has been keeping quiet. She can only tell that this song is very common in the streets and alleys. She can hum a short piece of music or two or three lyrics in the chorus, but the singing outside this part It's all a bit strange to her.

She was not familiar with this song. Even when it came to the parts she understood a little bit, she didn't hum aloud, or in other words, she never intended to speak from the beginning to the end.

Lucius flicked the green leaf he was holding in his hand, humming the complete tune softly as he walked, looking at her from time to time. Caleb was already walking ahead excitedly, squeezing in beside Anna Solo and singing loudly with her.

The soft and elegant female voice is mixed with the bold and off-key male voice. In the slightly funny scene, people's smiles are light and warm.

The branches on the roadside scratched her arms, leaving a cool and translucent drop of water on her sleeves. The water droplets gradually turned into water stains, and in the mountain forest exuding the fragrance of green plants, the small group of people stepped on the soil and gravel and kept moving forward.

Aecilia has never told anyone that she is the most relaxed and comfortable in the rainy and slightly cold mountains and forests. She focused on the various common and rare plants on the roadside and even the animals that jumped out and then quickly disappeared. The moment the singing faded away, the sound of thin discussions began again.

“There are a lot of out-of-season plants here.”

"Be careful not to damage the control cultivation magic on the plants."

"There is a snake here..."

As soon as these words came out, they attracted the attention of many students. Professor Albinia put down the chrysanthemum she had just sniffed and walked over to check the situation. Aecilia was a little far away from the place and could not clearly see what the snake looked like. However, she saw the weak-looking Professor Daisy holding the seven inches of the snake with one hand and picking up the whole snake, motioning for everyone to look over.

"This is a fifteen-month-old red gall asphalt snake. Its venom can cause numbness, convulsions, and fainting. Its fangs are often used to prepare Hustronor's potion. The effects of snake skin and snake gall are..."

Everyone was listening, and many of them lowered their heads and took notes. Aecilia saw a classmate next to her even picked up a pen and sketched the red-gallbladder asphalt snake.

Afterwards, the professor instructed several students to kill the snakes, remove the bile and peel the skins, and then clean and preserve them.

They continued walking and came to a place with a wide view.

"Everyone needs to disperse here first. At least two people must form a team to find the medicinal materials I just described. No matter what the harvest is, we must all gather here in thirty minutes."

After the professor gave the order, the students all formed teams to explore in different directions. Lucius pulled Aecilia, and she walked aside with him obediently.

After staying away from the professor's sight, Aecilia pulled back the hand he was holding.

"I'm going over there."

She pointed in a direction.

"I follow you."

Lucius continued.

Aecilia shook her head:

"I go by my own."

Lucius squinted his eyes, then looked down at the sudden sound of the Wisdom Network, nodded and said:

"That's fine."

He quickly walked in another direction. Aecilia pursed her lips and walked in the direction she originally wanted with a stern face.

As she walked, identifying and collecting medicinal materials, she took all the notes she needed to take and took all the photos she needed to take. She stood up and turned to look behind a tree.

With long black hair flowing in the air, Ernest turned to look at her with a handful of medicinal materials and smiled:

"What a coincidence."

Aecilia didn't reply, she just walked towards him, squatted down, took a few photos of a purple mushroom at his feet, and then said to him:

"Please excuse me, I want to dig up medicinal materials."

She took out the shovel and gloves and started working. Ernest took two steps back obediently, and after a while, he squatted down and watched her dig out the medicinal materials.

After she put the purple mushrooms completely into the storage bag, Ernest said slowly:

"I'm leading the herbal medicine class this class, and the two classes happened to bump into each other. I didn't mean to come to you."

Aecilia looked up at him, her light blue eyes met those calm and steady amber eyes, and then she smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

None of this matters.

She stood up and walked in the other direction without saying a word.

Ernest patted the soil on the root system of the medicinal herbs on his hand, put it away in the storage bag, and followed her leisurely.

The two of them walked into a forest where white roses were in full bloom. The beautiful snow-white flowers dotted almost the entire field of vision, and a sense of holiness arose spontaneously.

In Ernest's eyes, the background around Esilia walking in front was replaced by pure white and beautiful white roses. He could only see her back, her gray hair blending well into the surroundings.

The wind gently blew the treetops, and in the silence between the two of them, the living forest was buzzing with hidden emotions.

Next to the wall of the ruined courtyard where the two passed, there was a wooden sign covered with moss and vines that read "White Rose - Pure Love". The two of them did not cast their eyes on it, and walked for a while. Ernest said:
