The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"The other cherry trees in the yard are blooming and fading year after year, but this one seems to be dead, and it won't bloom no matter what."

Yuyuko's words were very light, but Wu Ye could feel the heavy attachment from them.

"Well, Miss Yuyuko, may I ask?"

Looking at the picturesque profile, Wu also tried to ask:

"Miss Yuyuko, is she trying to make the Saigoi Demon bloom?"

"Ah."

Yuyuko nodded without hesitation:

"For thousands of years, I have tried too many methods, but unfortunately..."

"..."

As soon as Youyouzi said this, the doubt on Wu Ye's face became more serious.

He admitted that such a big cherry blossom tree blooming is indeed very attractive, but is it a bit too much to be entangled for a thousand years just because of this?

As I said before, monsters are a bunch of "lazy" guys. It seems a bit difficult for them to be passionate about the same thing for thousands of years, right?

And the object of this obsession is just a cherry blossom tree, which is really...

"Feel weird?"

"..."

Youyouzi smiled lightly, once again she guessed what Wu Ye was thinking.

"Actually, although I have some expectations for the blooming appearance of the Westbound Demon, I am not so attached to it."

"Then why..."

"The reason is very simple. If the Westbound Demon blooms, I can see 'her'."

"……'she'?"

"Hehe, maybe it's 'he'."

Yuyuko put her ear on the sleeping cherry tree, as if she wanted to hear its inner voice from that peaceful posture, she said in a low and magnetic voice, like singing:

"I can know that 'she' has been sleeping under here, I want to see 'her', I want to meet 'her', my intuition tells me that 'she' must be able to give me what I lack I."

"What's missing?"

It is rare to see Youyouzi say such sad and elegant Wu also frowned inadvertently:

"what is that?"

"do not know."

She closed her eyes and shook her head, the meaning in the smile was incomprehensible, seemingly relieved or bitter, Youyuko knelt against the cold tree trunk and sat in front of Xixingyao, stroking the silent rhizome seemed to be able to pass through such Way to feel 'her' presence in general.

"...Does it have to bloom?"

Youyuko's expression made Wu Ye inexplicably worried, and his tone unconsciously carried an unwillingness that even he didn't notice:

"If you want to see 'her' sleeping under the tree, do you have to bloom?"

"right."

As if she didn't notice the urgency in Wu Ye's questioning, Yuyuko smiled faintly:

"This Westbound Demon has a special seal. If you want to wake up the sleeping 'her', you must unlock the seal, that is, let the Westbound Demon bloom."

"How can I make it bloom?"

"do not know."

I don't know which is the first "I don't know" that Yuyuko said, it is this endless spiral of doubts like a black hole that keeps her standing still for thousands of years:

"I have tried many methods, but none of them succeeded. Recently, I originally planned to collect the 'spring' in Gensokyo to make it bloom, but unfortunately..."

"It didn't work either?"

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Yuyuko shook her head lightly, with a subtle smile without regret on the corner of her mouth:

"Because there's no need to do that anymore, I've lost the chance to let it bloom."

Saying that, she left Xixing Yao, and looked at Wu Ye who was puzzled:

"Mu Ye-kun doesn't know yet, does he? In fact, you are not the only one who accidentally entered Gensokyo recently."

"..."

Eyes widened in surprise, hearing this absolutely explosive news, Wu Ye lost his words for a moment, Yuyuko caught Wu Ye's expression in his eyes unsurprisingly, and then said in a reminiscent tone:

"Remember that was not long ago, how old is Wu Yejun today?"

"...Seventeen."

"That's not too far away. That incident happened about 18 years ago."

Looking into the distance, Youyouzi restrained her smile, and the arc of her mouth was no longer warm:
