In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 91 90. Really growing up

When Baiyuan Immortal Tree woke up, it was already dawn.

The light curtain penetrated the curtains and tried its best to illuminate the small room.

He opened his eyes and found Qingqiu Mai's lovely face buried between the quilt and pillow, looking like she was sleeping at the moment.

She obviously fell asleep alone last night, but she wasn't sure when Qingqiu Mai climbed into bed.

The girl with shallow breathing remained motionless in the quilt. Baiyuan Immortal Tree stared at her face, letting his thoughts fly, and then, he slowly moved his face closer.

It was late at night under the quilt, and the light outside was as cold as moonlight. He deeply felt that the encounter at dawn was really incredible.

Perhaps because he was so close, his gentle breath blew on her cheek.

Qingqiu Mai opened her eyes drowsily.

"Good morning, Mai—" Baiyuan Xianshu said with a smile, "I'm by your side again."

Qingqiu Mai said with some confusion: ".What are you talking about?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree stretched out his hand to her waist and said: "About the procedures for adopting Liuli."

"Although I have financial resources, it's not that simple when I'm still underage. I just asked Liuli to live with me in Kanagawa, and the dean agreed."

Qingqiu Mai got up from the bed, her long silky hair sliding down her shoulders and smooth pajamas.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree did not speak, just looked at her quietly, the ball of his thoughts rolling in the fairway, but did not hit any pins.

"Would you like to return to Kanagawa with me, or go directly to Tokyo?" Mai Kiyoaki got out of bed without any hesitation and opened the curtains.

Baiyuan Fairy Tree looks out the window, the colors of the world become vivid, and the spring cherry blossoms are as motionless as mountains.

"I don't know."

"She asked you to go to Tokyo."

"That's it"

"Shaoai told me that she won't disturb us when we are alone, so I have to think about her."

"That's it"

"That child is very cute. The more I understand her, the more I like her. Maybe she will really be my unique partner in the future."

"That's it"

"Fairy tree?"

There was confusion in Qingqiu Mai's words, and Baiyuan Xianshu was a little scared.

"Yes?"

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

She sat on the edge of the bed again and stared at the Baiyuan fairy tree. The staff of the orphanage had already yelled for getting up early from downstairs.

"Like a post-mortem? Really?"

"Maybe, I just want to understand what the fairy tree thinks."

Baiyuan Xianshu touched his messy hair: "It's strange. I don't quite understand this feeling, but now I am really happy and satisfied."

The peaceful smile on Qingqiu Mai's face made Baiyuan Xianshu's chest tighten. The love between the three is not a one-way traffic.

"I just understand that it's great to meet you, and I'm so happy just like this. I don't want to hold back and waste time because of my patience. I want to try my best to do everything well, and have people who can support each other. I want to be normal because of it.”

Obviously there are a lot of things I want to express in my heart, but the words I said seem to have not been thought through by my brain.

But what he just wants to express is that living with important people is the meaning of reunion.

"ordinary?"

"I guess...real grown-ups, this ordinary."

Qingqiu Mai raised her hand and gently held the cheek of Baiyuan Immortal Tree with both hands. Their eyes met with the same color.

Feel each other's emotions of joy, sadness and love, merge into one in this moment.

"If everything means something to you, that would be great." A gentle smile appeared on Qingqiu Mai's face.

Her soft words completely filled the previously empty vase.

"It's good to be with you, thank you for willing to be with me."

"You are the first person I like in my life."

"Um"

"If there is a future, you must be the first to fall in love with me."

Qingqiu Mai's white fingers followed Baiyuan Immortal Tree's ears, gently touched his earlobes, caressed his cheeks, and touched his lips.

There is a sound in the kiss, which is the overlapping of rustling sounds, then gradually staggering, and finally moving away.

Baiyuan Xianshu never wanted anything dramatic to happen again.

Because there is a chance that they will disappear, there is no way to touch each other like this, and there is no way to hug each other even if they are sad.

Because eternal disappearance is such a thing as death.

The struggle in the heart, the painful tears, the few joyful days, and the sincere love desperately offered, all burned up in the sky.

◇

Want to have breakfast at the orphanage!

"Oh, oh, the fairy tree is really good, I didn't notice it before, I was too careless." Dean Ping Zhuo joked while eating the steamed buns.

When Qingqiu Mai came out of his room in the morning, the dean saw her, which made both of them blush.

"But I didn't expect Xiao Mai to be so bold."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I feel like there are a lot of things going on in the courtyard and I'm all in a hurry." Baiyuan Immortal Tree said with a bitter smile.

"By the way, you are still writing a novel, right? Is it a new book? When will it be published?"

"Probably after March, I will be the first to show it to the children."

"Listening to your hard work, it seems that our orphanage will be very stable in the future!"

"But making money is really hard."

"Yes, but now I realize that it feels a bit bad, but I have to be nice to little Mai."

"Should be."

The two chatted without saying a word, Baiyuan Xianshu understood that Dean Pingzhuo regarded Qingqiu Mai as his daughter, so he didn't say much.

After saying goodbye to Dean Heping Zhuo, Baiyuan Xianshu went to find Shui Jing Liuli who was eating alone.

She had a salad of fresh tomatoes and white mozzarella cheese.

"Little sister Shui Jing, we will train you well from now on." Shui Jing Liuli shrank her shoulders upon hearing this, and Baiyuan Immortal Tree continued,

"Your sister Mai and I are in love with each other. I am not a stalker. Of course I will do my best to favor you."

"I know, you don't look like a bad man."

"Is this a compliment to me?"

"It's a compliment."

Her sudden frankness made Baiyuan Xianshu stunned for a moment. He thought this girl was the same as Kurosawa Yaoai, but he didn't expect her to be surprisingly frank.

"Is it your privilege to be able to eat these?" Baiyuan Xianshu asked, looking at the tomatoes she picked up.

"I did it with my consent." Shuijing Liuli responded calmly at first, and continued after a while of silence, "Sister Mai taught me this. I am very smart and can remember it after seeing it once. Of course, I am not innovative, just Just do it.”

"But it looks delicious made by Mai."

"My cooking is also delicious." Shuijing Liuli said unwillingly, but she did not deny that Qingqiu Mai's cooking was not good.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree thought she was quite funny and said with a smile: "Then what is your wish?"

"My wish is that it can come true, what about you?"

She spoke boldly and seemed to really regard Baiyuan Immortal Tree as her peer.

Baiyuan Senshu tilted his head and said with a smile: "I hope that Mai and I can go to Kagoshima before winter comes."

"You will also take me there when the time comes."

"It's really greedy."

Baiyuan Xianshu stretched out his hand to touch her head, Shuijing Liuli shyly retracted her chin, but didn't say much.

The two chatted and ate.

"You eat a lot."

"Well, if you don't eat more now, you won't be able to eat more when you become a beautiful girl."

Her words made Baiyuan Immortal Tree laugh happily.

Just when the two of them were knowingly cultivating their feelings, a childish voice suddenly broke in.

"Liu Li!"

A little boy shouted energetically, his face flushed. He was wearing a faded and smelly coat.

Shui Jing Liuli raised her head and looked at him.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree knew that this little boy was buried by Shui Jing Liuli in his previous life because the ladder disappeared.

"What's the matter, Xiaoliu?"

"Liu Liuli! Sorry, I came here suddenly!"

"why?"

"Well. I know you are leaving with Sister Mai. I just want to talk to you. I'm sorry if you are unhappy, but"

For Xiaoliu, this was the surprise attack that took all his courage.

Shui Jing Liuli looked away, holding the silver spoon in her little hand, and the bright red juice was squeezed out of the tomato.

"Yeah." She said softly.

Xiaoliu suddenly froze on the spot, and soon his eyes were moving around.

Worried and not knowing what to say, he suddenly said something incredible.

"Liu Li, can we continue to quarrel in the future?"

"."

There was an eerie pause between the two of them.

Shui Jing Liuli looked at him dumbfounded, frowned and said, "I'm not arguing with you, I'm correcting your mistakes."

"Then can we continue to correct our mistakes in the future?" Xiaoliu immediately changed his words.

"Here he is, prodigy." Baiyuan Immortal Tree suddenly said with a smile.

Shuijing Liuli stared childishly at Baiyuan Immortal Tree, who realized that this was the child's own business, so he got up and prepared to leave.

I found Mai Kiyoaki at the door.

"Have you established a good relationship with Liuli?" she asked.

"That girl is very cute, I like her very much." Baiyuan Xianshu responded, holding his hand with Qingqiu Mai's.

Qingqiu Mai smiled softly, the guilt of being intimate with her boyfriend in front of immature children spread in her heart, but the sweet joy of being able to hold hands with the Baiyuan fairy tree overcame it.

"Wait to take a picture."

"Because for some people there's only one chance."

A few minutes later, Dean Pingzhuo brought the camera and called the children to take pictures.

Being surrounded by children, everyone was thinking about when they would be able to come again next time, and who would be missing next time. Everyone was laughing loudly and taking many photos of each other.

In the small courtyard of the orphanage, new skirts and new sneakers are dangling in the camera.

After taking pictures, Bai Yuan Xian Shu, Qing Qiu Mai and Shui Jing Ruri boarded the train.

There was an air of laziness in the carriage. Mai Qingqiu had been looking at the photos on her phone, feeling quite sentimental.

Baiyuan Xianshu originally sat by the window, but when he saw Shui Jing Liuli looking out the window, he took the initiative to let her sit.

"How did you answer that boy?" Baiyuan Immortal Tree asked curiously.

Shui Jing Liuli turned her head further inward, unable to see her expression at all.

"I don't like Xiaoliu, but he is very nice and familiar with some knowledge from books, so we have a lot of chatting, and we won't get tired talking and eating together."

“Empathy is important.”

"Do you think I should date him?" she asked suddenly.

——What kind of relationship is Guitou, who is less than ten years old, talking about?
After Baiyuan Xianshu smiled and complained in his heart, he immediately folded his arms, looked at Qingqiu Mai from the corner of his eye and said:
"People who are happy together have a high probability of falling in love with each other. I think it's not bad to try dating."

"When dating a boy, is there any way to stick to yourself?"

"That's not what we need to consider now. Love and time specialize in teaching people to change."

"baffling."

"Right."

Baiyuan Xianshu smiled like a child, and at the same time, he hoped in his heart that everything would go well for the child in the future.
