Chapter 896 Mayfly and Epiphyllum
"Xiao Xiao, thank you."
"Thank you for helping me find Epiphyllum."
"Thank you for staying with me until now."
Xiao Xiao was about to speak when suddenly, "Buzz buzz~"
This is
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket.
The name that danced on the screen was Chi Xiuchuan.
The mayfly flew up from Xiao Xiao's hand and looked at the glowing mobile phone curiously.
Xiao Xiao answered the phone.
"Master Xiao."
There was an obvious smile in Chi Xiuchuan's voice, "I found the night-blooming cereus."
……
"Where are you?"
Xiao Xiao asked directly.
……
"Master Xiao, I'm in the car."
"Where are you?"
……
"I'll be there soon."
……
Looking at the dimmed mobile phone, Xiao Xiao smiled and raised his head, "蜉-"
His voice paused.
He didn't even see the mayfly at all!
He was startled, his pupils contracted, and then he saw the almost transparent mayfly.
The scenery behind the little monster is unobstructed.
"Mayfly!"
……
Xiao Xiao quickly raised his head to look at the sky.
The moon is almost at its zenith.
……
The moonlight is very good tonight.
The moonlight is always beautiful on summer nights, and you can hear the chirping of insects in your ears.
However, Xiao Xiao felt that the moonlight tonight was a bit too good.
Because, like this, the mayflies under the moonlight...are almost melting away.
……
"Mayfly, did you hear that?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes were fixed on the mayfly as if it had fallen into Yue Hui's eyes, "The epiphyllum has been found."
"Well, I heard it."
Mayfly smiled and narrowed her eyes.
The pleasant aura emanating from his body made Xiao Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
But then, a shadow quickly hit his mind.
He kept smiling, but his hands holding Ah Jiu couldn't help but tighten a little.
……
The little white fox half-opened his eyes and glanced lazily at him. The rose-red eyes were so stunning in the night, but they revealed a bit of coolness and hardness, without a trace of warmth or softness.
But at this time, no one or monster noticed it.
It made no sound or made any movement.
Soon it closed its eyes again.
……
"So, wait a little longer."
Xiao Xiao's tone couldn't help but become a little more serious, "Ephemera, wait a little longer, and you can see the epiphyllum."
……
"..."
Mayfly was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Well, I will wait."
"I'm about to see the epiphyllum."
"How could..."
How could you be willing to leave like this?
Just...
Mayfly looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
So beautiful.
But... it means that it has little time left and its life is about to come to an end.
what to do?
It's a bit reluctant.
Even...a little scared.
……
"Mayfly!"
Xiao Xiao's cry rang in its ears.
Mayfly suddenly came to her senses.
It was a little confused about Xiao Xiao's anxiety and worry that he showed in front of it for the first time.
Then he seemed to realize something and looked down at his... body? foot?
Ah, it has no legs anymore.
It's really leaving.
The world in front of him suddenly became a little blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.
……
"Mayfly!"
This voice...
Mayfly laughed, "Xiao Xiao."
……
"Mayfly, now!"
"Epiphyllum is coming soon!"
"So, hold on a little longer!"
"It'll be fine in a minute!"
……
Mayfly tilted her head in confusion.
It also wants to hold on for a while longer.
However, there was a bit of bitterness in the smile at the corner of its mouth. It has a heart but is... powerless.
"Xiao Xiao."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"Because, I have seen a lot."
"The sun, big trees, flowers, cats, many, many humans, and the appearance of human society."
"And birds."
"I used to only hear their cries."
"So this is what they look like."
……
Xiao Xiao wanted to tell Mayfly to stop talking.
He wonders if there is a relationship between the two?
However, Mayfly's body... became lighter and lighter as it spoke.
Not only were the legs missing, but part of the body was also missing.
Moreover, the missing part of the body is still expanding.
Although slowly.
If this continues-
The mayfly is really going to disappear!
……
However, he couldn't say anything when he saw that Mayfly was so excited and his eyes were shining because he recalled what he said about a flower and a tree.
With a smile on his face, he listened carefully to Mayfly's chatter.
Moreover, the sound of the mayfly...is getting softer and softer.
He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would miss Mayfly's words.
……
"Om-"
The phone just vibrated and Xiao Xiao dialed the number, "Where are you?"
Chi Xiuchuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and reported his location.
It is already very close to Xiao Xiao.
Chi Xiuchuan called just to confirm Master Xiao's specific location.
……
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone directly.
"Mayfly, come here."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his palm and said, "I will take you to see Epiphyllum."
……
Mayfly lay in the palm of Xiao Xiao's hand.
The body is very light.
There is always a feeling that it will disappear completely in the next second.
But, it's very reassuring.
There was a slight bumping feeling, as well as human body temperature coming from Xiao Xiao's palm, and there was also a slightly cool gas.
Gas circulates in its body, as if its blurry vision has become a little clearer.
……
"Squeak~"
The sound of a car braking suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.
"Master Xiao!"
Chi Xiuchuan leaned out of the car window.
"What about flowers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao saw the epiphyllum placed on the passenger seat.
Epiphyllum has bloomed.
At first glance, I just feel that it is as white as snow, as clear and flawless as possible.
It's so beautiful that it doesn't get stained by dust.
……
"Mayfly!"
While looking down, he raised his palm forward and said, "Look, Epiphyllum."
However, the next second, he froze.
His palms were empty without any trace of mayflies.
The hanging forehead hair cast a shadow.
Chi Xiuchuan couldn't see Master Xiao's expression clearly at this moment.
He opened his mouth, but finally chose silence.
……
"Well, I saw it."
The voice that suddenly sounded in Xiao Xiao's mind made him raise his head suddenly.
ephemera!
……
"Epiphyllum, really beautiful."
……
ephemera!
Xiao Xiao looked around and finally saw a pair of looming eyes on the petals of the epiphyllum,
Very light gold color.
……
"Thank you, Xiao Xiao."
"I'm happy."
“I’m really happy.”
"Goodbye, Xiao Xiao."
……
Xiao Xiao looked a little dazed as he watched the color finally dissipate.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
The petals of the epiphyllum began to slowly close.
Then, he lowered his head.
Only a faint fragrance is left in the air.
……
Chi Xiuchuan picked up the epiphyllum on the passenger seat and said, "Master Xiao..."
"Thank you, Achuan."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for being able to find Epiphyllum in such a short period of time."
ps: Thank you Luo Luoye for the tip (*︶*)!
