love across the three realms

Chapter 18 "Second Act" The Stunning Beauty in the Dreamland (8)

"Doctor Ling, why do you treat patients like this? I came to you for psychological counseling." He Xing sat down across from Ling Hualan, and suddenly became interested in Epiphyllum in front of him. "What are you looking at? So addicted to a pot of things with only one small flower bud?"

"I'm a surgeon, but I don't know much about psychotherapy. You've come to the wrong place." Ling Hualan reached out and snatched Epiphyllum, which He Xing had pulled to her eyes for observation.

"Doctor Ling, is this called Epiphyllum?" He Xing didn't care about her attitude and words at all, and directly shifted to the question of Epiphyllum, "Why do you like this kind of flower so much? I see you have several pots at home, Xiao Xun Say those are your treasures. But I don't see any good for this kind of flower, at least I haven't seen them bloom once."

"Flash in the pan, it still blooms at night, it's just a momentary bloom, few people have the patience to wait for it." Ling Hualan treasured the flower pot to avoid the chasing of the sun's glare.

"The epiphyllum must be beautiful when it blooms, right?" He Xing asked longingly.

Ling Hualan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "Yes, it's beautiful."

"Doctor Ling, if there is a chance, can you take a picture of the blooming epiphyllum for me to see, I think it must be a very happy thing to see such a beautiful thing." He Xing pleaded.

"Happiness?" Ling Hualan repeated in a daze, her eyes became distant.

"Isn't it? You see, although Epiphyllum only bloomed for a moment, it has fulfilled its wish to show its beautiful side to the world. It is a kind of happiness for both herself and the people who watch it." He Xing said seriously.

"Little girl, with so much talk, can you really understand what happiness is?" Ling Hualan's beautiful watery eyes flashed an imperceptible sneer, "Epiphyllum is not a kind of happiness flower! Didn't you hear that?" Ever had a legend about Epiphyllum?"

"What legend?" He Xinger immediately became interested. He changed his position on the chair, changed his position from sitting to kneeling, crossed his hands and fingers together and begged Ling Hualan, "I like listening to stories the most. Doctor Ling, tell me soon." I'll tell you, please!"

Ling Hualan took a deep look at the jade-colored epiphyllum with tightly closed buds in the pot, as if immersed in her own thought world: "The epiphyllum is also called Weituo flower."

"Wei Tuo Hua? What a strange name." He Xing couldn't help but interjected, "Wei Tuo, is that the pretty guy standing behind the Bodhisattva in the temple?"

Ling Hualan ignored her, and continued to tell her in a cold tone: "It is said that there is a sad and lingering story between Epiphyllum and Venerable Wei Tuo under the Buddha's seat, so Epiphyllum is also called Wei Tuo Flower. Wei Tuo Flower is very special, always It will bloom at dawn when the morning dew first condenses. Legend has it that Epiphyllum is a naive and beautiful flower god. She blooms every day and is brilliant in all seasons. A young man waters her every day and weeds and takes care of her. The meticulous care made her more beautiful and charming. Later, she fell in love with this young man and lived with him every day, only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals. To break up this pair of mandarin ducks."
