To the eternal you

It was dawn, and a little cold wind from early winter was blowing into the house.

Today is a holiday. After a week of non-stop work, Grandma Chun ordered her to rest for three days.

Qi woke up on the bed on time, and subconsciously wrapped some quilts tightly. The warmth and tranquility in the physical sense made people want to stay in bed until noon.

And every time the girl is alone like this, she always thinks of that night, when her mother hugged her tightly, pouring out her feelings that no one understood.

"It is because it is Qi that I will tell you."

As if being injected with some kind of rejuvenated vitality, the heart was beating passionately.

"I hope Qi will remain like this forever, don't change your current thoughts, don't fall in love with anyone, and just accompany me and Dao wife until eternity."

Mother's words carry a strong personal will that cannot be violated.

Obviously, when hugging, you can feel the warmth between the bodies, and you can even hear each other's heartbeat, but on the side that your mother doesn't see, what Qi feels is some kind of indescribable emotion.

Just try my best to pray back what this individual should do at this time, hug, listen, and finally wave goodbye to each other.

And agreed to meet again soon.

The girl didn't stay on the bed for too long, but quickly got up and started her daily grooming. The dim bronze mirror reflected Qi's expression at this time.

She tried to laugh, to be happy with how her relationship with her mother was going.

But no matter how hard she tried, it was futile, so she could only guess that maybe something went wrong, and it should be fine after self-repair.

Qi is not dissatisfied with the future described by Ying, she has heard a lot about Ying, about them, about Daozuma's bright blueprint for the future, and gives her hope.

She wants to give up a certain choice, just as her mother said, as long as she does her best, her eyes will stay on her for a while, and she just needs to keep going.

Does that mean... my wish has come true in a disguised form?

Qihui is the one closest to her mother.

However, she just wanted to give up thinking about the real meaning of that sentence now.

No... just self-deception, because when you really know that answer and affirm it, it means "out" from the relationship you have built so hard.

Qi walked out of the room, looking at the fallen leaves piled up outside the house, and the bleak wind blowing over the blue rocks, she looked at the red maple tree that was ten times her age.

Touching the rough and dry bark with her palms, she slowly raised her head, watching the withered and yellowed red maple leaves swirled by the wind like small spirals, and finally slipped away without a sound, leaving the leaves lingering Floating down, she didn't return to the house until the sunset.

During the holidays, the time of living alone like this slowly passed, and everything seemed to become dull.

There is no need to think about the endless paperwork, just wake up on time every day, wash and tidy up, and then look at the old red maple tree. It has lost all its maple leaves and only the bony branches are left. It seems that a day can pass by.

On the third day of the holiday an unexpected guest came.

It was Granny Chun, with a gentle smile, she always looked at the girl with such kindness.

"Pray, did you have a good meal during the vacation?"

Of course the answer was no. In the past two days, she has almost turned into a tree goblin who can breathe and walk, relying only on photosynthesis to survive.

Even the rituals that I usually pay attention to have fallen behind. When I can't figure out something, I don't want to do anything. I just want to solve it thoroughly before thinking about other things.

But she didn't want to deceive Granny Chun either, so she just shook her head with a sad face.

"Sure enough, it seems that I didn't make this meal for nothing." Grandma Chun was still following Huai, she changed her clothes unexpectedly today, from her original gray look to smart casual clothes.

When Grandma Chun was talking, she also lifted the food box in her hand.

Although the girl was in a daze for two days, the room and yard were cleaned up every day, and she led her mother-in-law to sit down in the house.

Seeing Huai take out food boxes one after another, and even started to stack them up, the girl quickly put her small hands on her chest and said, "There is a saying in ancient books, eating less and eating more is good for the body, eating less a day, but eating too much is easy." Infected with food disease!"

"This is my share." Huai just said calmly.

The girl was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said nothing.

Granny Chun on the side also smiled and said: "That's right, this child is just like you, a child who makes her mother-in-law worry, so today you two must finish eating well in front of her mother-in-law."

The food box divided into two is still within the range of the girl's acceptance, but it is Huai who makes her a little concerned.

After all, she hasn't taken off her mask even now, so she doesn't want to eat with a mask on, does she?

Taking the chopsticks from Huai, Qi thanked in a low voice, and then opened the food box, the mellow aroma of rice combined with the aroma of meat and vegetables wafted out immediately.

Huai calmly pressed a small mechanism on the chin part of the mask, and the chin area of ​​the Angry Tengu mask was folded and shrunk immediately, exposing the chin and slightly flesh-colored lips.

So he picked up vegetables and ate quickly with the momentum of wind and clouds, repeated the steps, the movements seemed to be almost gone, and he didn't even see the movement of chewing. When Qi just swallowed the fourth mouthful of rice, Huai calmly took out the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. She clasped her hands together to thank Granny Chun, who gave a helpless smile that she couldn't do anything about her.

After eating, Huai unexpectedly didn't leave, but just looked at her holding the food box.

"Well...if you're very hungry, I can share...you some."

The girl who couldn't bear this kind of sight blushed and said.

"I'm not hungry, I'm just waiting for you to finish eating."

She didn't know when she changed the mask back, and the big angry-eyed tengu mask made Qi's heart shudder.

"Because I have to wash the food box."

For the first time, Qi meets someone who can kill a chat.

Half ashamed and annoyed, she took a big bite of the rice, turned this emotion into the power to eat, and finished the meal at a slightly slower speed.

Needless to say, Grandma Chun looked at her with loving eyes of "my granddaughter finally had a good meal" the whole time.

After finishing the meal, which can be called punishment time, Huai took the food box and ran away in a hurry, while Granny Chun took the girl's hand and walked outside the courtyard for a walk.

"Qi, do you know that this maple tree was actually planted by my mother-in-law."

Granny Chun looked at the red maple tree and said in a soft voice.

"At that time, my mother-in-law, I was short and timid, and no other children would come to play with me. When I was wronged, I would run to hide in the red maple forest and cry secretly."

"That day, I met an adult who changed my life." Grandma Chun's eyes were full of nostalgia, "After hearing my complaint, that adult didn't wave me away, but told me, Chun, Tivat doesn't have a maple leaf are the same."

It was an autumn afternoon, the sun was setting, and the sun was as big as the mouth of a water tank, covering the top of the mountain.

The red maple forest below is bathed in such light, as if it is burning. I look at the red maple leaves dancing in the sky, and the shadows below are like ashes after being burned.

I got lost in that scene and saw the adult holding a paper umbrella.

Neither did she become impatient to listen to those trivial things, nor did she drive away the ignorant children, but took out the cakes she brought to taste together.

Watching the sun sinking gradually, the adult caught the maple leaves fluttering in the air, I held one leaf, she held one leaf, and compared them together.

"Every maple leaf is both the same and not exactly the same. Just like human beings, everyone has similar skin color and body shape, but their appearance, personality and background are different. There is no need to deliberately seek the approval and love of others. In my opinion, you are also unique. One of the many beautiful and lovely creatures that live in this land."

Granny Chun looked at the bare red maple tree with her hands behind her back, her eyes long.

As if she saw the evening of that day through the long river of time, she turned around gently and smiled and said, "When I wake up from the beautiful scenery, I hold a pack of small red maple seeds in my hand. Afterwards, I worked hard to learn, do, watch, and listen, and by chance, I entered the castle tower established by the Great Imperial Palace, and became an ordinary member.”

Finally, the seed was planted in the place where I was first arranged to live.

"As the years go by, my memory sometimes gradually becomes blurred, but every time I see this red maple tree, I can always recall the appearance of that adult."

She looked at the young girl who was listening to her story, the wind blew her long hair and robe, and she seemed to see the adult again in a trance.

"Pray, sometimes you think too much about others and you lose yourself."

"If you don't do the really important things, you will only slowly lose the best time to deal with the problem, but the problem will stay there until it becomes irreversible."

The girl asked subconsciously.

"But what if I can't think of a solution?"

A pair of old but still warm hands gently stroked her head, and the old man looked at her lovingly.

"At that time, whether you obey your heart or come to find your mother-in-law, when you are willing to spend time thinking about the problem, it means that you are half successful."

"Let's entrust the remaining half to someone you trust, and let's solve it happily together without leaving any regrets."

The quiet sunshine shone on them, just like the adult and her many years ago.

Qi is accompanied by inner peace and calmness, and the restless heart has been slightly comforted.
