golden age

The sunshine in the summer afternoon sprinkled the entire courtyard sparsely. Between the fine leaf gaps, light and shadow intertwined with each other. When the wind blew, it swayed violently in an instant.

Buer and I sat quietly, watching the old man seriously study the pot of orchids.After all, I am not someone who understands flowers, nor am I from the Xiyuan Temple family.Those flowers and plants, knowing their old owners, maybe in this life, I will not be able to see them bloom for me.

Between heaven and earth, are these vegetation the most affectionate, and also the most ruthless?

Jinzheng, I am not you after all, but do you know that in this world, there are still many people who remember and miss you.I can't be you.So you become a legend.stay in the memory of those people.

But if I'm not you, who am I?

I looked up at the blue sky with floating clouds.I still can't seem to be comfortable being myself.In this world, I seem to be someone who should not appear.The me that everyone sees is not me, but Jin Zheng.They will naturally use the standard of Jinzheng to measure me, and they will naturally compare me with the previous Jinzheng.But who knows the real me?Me who is completely different from Xiyuanji Jinzheng?

Jin Zheng, your departure is a tragedy.Maybe you should wait.In this way, you will meet Atobe, and then he will help you return to that world.I think, in his heart, Xiyuansi Jinzheng is still a perfect existence, and he is still willing to fulfill your marriage contract.You're supposed to end up with him anyway, and when you've met him, you'll know how compatible you are.Although he is a bit too much for you, but after you get to know him, you will definitely feel that he is a good partner.At that time, the right and wrong, kindness and resentment, could not be clearly explained, and the reasoning was still chaotic.

But maybe you won't forgive him either.After all, you are a proud person, how could you accept grace and mercy casually.Moreover, you have suffered a lot because of him.Then it depends on what the trace department does.To be honest, it's really hard to impress you.But Atobe will understand you.Essentially, you are a very similar kind of people.

"Xiyuan Temple?"

"what?"

"You've been looking up for a long time, what are you thinking? Doesn't your neck hurt?"

"Oh?" Why did I stare at the sky for so long without knowing it?He also left Bu Er aside, as soon as he said, my neck really hurts a bit.

"That, I'm sorry." I rubbed my neck and smiled at him apologetically.

"Is there anything in the sky? I don't seem to see anything except the sky and white clouds?"

"When... of course it's nothing."

"I thought you saw something that I couldn't."

"There is nowhere."

The girl in front of Buer is always in a trance unconsciously, with a sad expression on her face from time to time.What was she thinking, thinking of her father?Miss her past?However, when she talked about her past, although she was sad, it was more of pity.What she said seemed not to be her own, but also seemed to be all from her own experience.

Buer suddenly felt that he couldn't see through her.There seemed to be a cloud of mist on her body, sometimes thin and sometimes thick, but she couldn't get close to it completely.Sometimes, Buer feels that he has seen her clearly, but sometimes, she can make people feel elusive.

I don't know when I started to like to figure out everything about her.Probably since the first time I saw her.He didn't know that there was anyone in this world who could be so stupid as to hit a trash can directly, but still look in a daze.What's more, she is Xiyuansi Jinzheng.

The more we get in touch, the more we find that she is completely different from the rumored one.Except that her appearance was as beautiful as in the legend, she was no different from an ordinary junior high school girl.She also laughs and romps with Ruomi, and sometimes she likes to tease Ochizen when she is excited, she will stare fiercely at someone when she is angry, and she will have a very sad expression on her face when she is down.I can also laugh so brightly and brightly, and I can dance with my hands and feet.She doesn't look like a lady from a family at all, just like an ordinary girl who grew up in an ordinary family.Not to mention indifference and arrogance, it is rare to see elegance and restraint.Is it because she has always just used those as a cover-up, or has she really changed.Or, she has always been like this.Was it just a moment of depression because of family changes?Bu Er found that he really couldn't figure it out after guessing and guessing, but he was still very interested and never tired of it.

I really want to know what kind of person you are, Xiyuansi Jinzheng.

The old man seemed to have finally figured it out.He put down the pot of orchids and walked to us.

"How long have you been raising this orchid?"

"I have raised it for 5 years, and my father has raised it for 5 years, a total of 10 years."

"This kind of orchid grows in South Africa, and the climate and soil are completely different from here, so it is very difficult to raise it. It is already very rare for you to keep it for ten years."

"It was always good when my father was alive. But it hasn't bloomed since 5 years ago, and it has always been a little sick. A few days ago, it suddenly became more and more withered. This, what is going on? thing?"

"Orchids like shade, and they have high requirements on the soil. It must be fertile. I don't think you have changed the soil for it in these years, have you? However, even if you change the soil, the soil should be dug from the mountains. Soil with humus. Otherwise it is difficult to feed."

"I didn't change it much, because I didn't know much about it, and I was afraid that I would hurt its roots."

"But I think that your pot of orchids probably has a lot of affection for your father." The old man sighed and said something appreciative.

I bowed my head and remained silent.

"Then Grandpa Yamazaki, can you save this pot of orchid?"

"Hmm..." The old man seemed to be in trouble, "Although this potted flower has not completely withered, it is not easy to revive it. But since you have come to me, of course I will do my best. For. Don’t worry. Besides, it’s rare for me to see such a precious orchid, so how can I just let it die like this.”

"Old man," I glanced at the pot of orchids, most of its branches and leaves were withered and yellow, drooping listlessly, "I think, if you don't mind, I'll put this pot of orchids by your side. In fact, I don't know anything about flowers and plants, and I have never been able to take care of them well. Instead of letting them die in my hands, I might as well leave them here with you. You can definitely take care of them better than me."

I looked at him pleadingly.For some reason, I can't face this pot of orchids.It always tells me that in fact I am not Jinzheng, not from this family.

"You... want to keep it with me?" The old uncle obviously didn't expect me to say that, "Do you mean to keep it with me forever? Even if it comes back to life later, you won't take it away? "

"Well, yes." I nodded, "You and father are both people who understand flowers. It will be willing to let you take care of it. I think this pot of orchids probably doesn't like me very much. Because I have never understood it."

"You have to think clearly, this pot of orchids is very precious. Not to mention Tokyo, even the whole of Japan, you can't find a few pots."

"I know. However, no matter how precious a flower is, it loses all its precious value in the hands of people who don't understand it. Only in the hands of people like you can it have its meaning."

Jin Zheng, maybe this is the best.This old man will definitely help you take care of this pot of orchids.I think it must be missing you and your father too much, that's why it's like this.No matter how hard I try, it just won't accept me, and I can't seem to understand it.So, just let me do it, and you'll say yes, right?

"Xiyuanji, have you really thought about it?" Fuji looked at me with some concern, "Although you can rest assured that you will give it to Grandpa Yamazaki, after all, this is your father's favorite flower during his lifetime."

"It is precisely because my father loves it, so I can't let it die in my hands. I think my father will agree with me to do this. Both he and the old grandfather are people who love flowers, and they will rest assured to hand them over to me. For the old man. Right, old man, if it were you, you would definitely do the same."

"It's rare that you can figure it out so well. Since you have said so, don't worry, I will definitely bring it back to life and take good care of it." The old man showed a kind smile on his face.

"Well, I'll leave everything to you. I hope next spring, it can bloom brilliant and bright flowers." I am looking forward to it.

"Okay, okay, then you have to come and see."

"It will." I nodded vigorously.

On the way back, Fuji and I were a little silent.

"Xiyuan Temple, it's okay, I feel that you are a little absent-minded from just now."

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about the pot of orchids. By the way, I also want to thank Senior Fuji this time."

"you are welcome."

"Will I treat you to dinner next time?"

"I've already eaten once, do you want more?"

"Don't seniors like the Chinese cuisine last time?" I specially ordered a lot of Sichuan dishes for the sake of unique taste. Pity myself, I can only eat a few dishes that are not spicy.

"Not really. The food last time was delicious."

"Then how do you want me to thank you this time?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, so I owe you a favor first."

"Senior Fuji is really cunning, human feelings are the most difficult thing to explain. What if you think of something weird in the future, I can't do it." I remembered the plots in novels on TV before, and it would definitely be very difficult in the end. Troublesome, so do not hesitate to refuse.

"No, there is absolutely nothing you can't do. I promise. It's just that I can't think of it for a while."

"Then..." I looked at him, the guy in front of me must be very careful, "Let's say it first, if I can't do it then, I can refuse."

"Well, of course."

"By the way, senior, did you enjoy your bowling this morning?" If the dried vegetable juice wasn't really scary, I really wanted to see it with my own eyes.

"Very nice, it's a pity you didn't come with me."

It's a pity that I didn't drink green vinegar, Bu Er Zhou Zhu!

The unique breath of summer permeates the air, making people feel a little lazy unconsciously.We walked in the quiet alley, except for the occasional dog barking, everything was so quiet that we could only hear our each other's footsteps.

Buer probably took my useless body into consideration, so he walked very slowly.

"Xiyuan Temple, you don't seem to come to the tennis club very much recently, and you didn't come to our match last time."

"Ah? Oh, that's because I have great confidence in the seniors. Didn't you successfully enter the semi-finals?" I said with a smile.

Since returning from Ice Emperor last time, I haven't been to the tennis club much.This time Ruomi didn't force her so much, she just let me do what she wanted, which was beyond my expectation.

In fact, I have been in a low mood recently, and I always think of the words I said to Atobe in front of the school gate of Hyotei.I don't know how Atobe sees me now.He seemed to feel that the current me was completely unworthy of Xiyuan Temple's surname.Yes, if it was the real Jin Zheng, she might be able to do that.Xiyuan Temple Jinzheng, no matter how the external things change, the nobility and elegance in the bones will not change.

But Atobe didn't know the reason, and I couldn't tell him.Where is the Jin Zheng in his memory now?If possible, I still want her to return to her own body.At least in this way, some of the aura and pride that originally belonged to Jinzheng of Xiyuan Temple can be preserved.

"Senior Fuji, before you knew me, what kind of person did you think Xiyuansi Jinzheng was?"
