[…The dew in the garden in the morning is still as heavy as usual. I have to get up every morning and carefully sweep the stone road in front of the house, otherwise the frost will easily make people slip.]

[Although this little frost is nothing to us, during the days when you were away, I found a lively and lovely maid to help me trim the flowers and plants. Her name is Afilia. It's a beautiful name, isn't it? You will definitely like her when you come back and see her.]

[The green vines we planted with our own hands have grown to dozens of meters high. They are like a big blanket covering the eaves of our wooden house. They are like an emerald in the sea of ​​flowers. They are very beautiful.]

[Oh, by the way, Afilia and I built a small wooden platform in the garden. You can recite poems and sing songs in the sea of ​​flowers. It must be a wonderful scene.]

[I haven't heard your singing voice for a long time. When you come back, I want to see you wearing the most gorgeous dress, wearing the wreath I made for you, standing in the sea of ​​blooming golden buds, singing the poems you wrote for me as a gift of reunion...]

[…When will you come back? ]

…

"I'm back...I'm back! Eden!"

Braki held the chrysanthemum in his arms and ran like crazy across the messy cobblestone road until he came to the wooden house standing under the thunderclouds.

The surface of the rotten wooden house was covered with moss. From a distance, it looked like a dark green monster crumbling on the ruins. The cold wind blew into the half-open dilapidated wooden door, making a low humming sound.

Squeak——!

Bragi, dressed in a formal suit, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the shabby wooden door, making a teeth-grinding sound.

The roof of the wooden house was covered with large broken holes. The dim sunlight shone through the thick thunderclouds, like several gray beams of light falling into the silent wooden house. A tattered long green satin was stuck in the jagged cracks of the roof, dancing wildly with the howling cold wind.

Braki stared blankly at the scene in front of him, raised one foot stiffly, and almost stepped on a big hole in the ground.

The wooden house, which had not been taken care of for a hundred years, had already decayed. Even when Braki walked on it with the lightest footsteps, it kept creaking and groaning.

"Eden...Eden!" Braki opened his cracked lips and called out softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, "Where are you...Eden?"

He kept pushing open the old wooden doors and walked into one room after another. Apart from the furniture covered with dust and moss, there was nothing else that caught Braki's eyes.

After searching almost all the rooms, Braki slowly moved to the door of the last bedroom.

He stretched out his trembling hand and placed it on the cracked wooden door...

"Braki!"

An anxious voice came from behind, and Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan landed outside the door of the wooden house from the sky.

When Lin Qiye saw Braki standing alone in the dilapidated wooden house in his best attire, he was startled at first, then he spoke again: "Braki..."

Squeak——!

The last wooden door in front of Braki slowly opened.

Amidst the endless gray and white, a touch of bright golden color appeared before his eyes.

Braki's pupils contracted slightly.

The biting cold wind passed through the big hole in the wall and whimpered into the bedroom. The moss-covered wooden floor was covered with golden golden buds, swaying in the cold wind.

A few petals were picked up by the wind and gently fell on Braki's cheek, like a delicate palm, gently wiping away the two lines of hot tears.

"Eden..." Blackie stood in front of the golden buds in the room, as if struck by lightning.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came back to his senses. He turned around abruptly, his red eyes staring at Lin Qiye behind him:

"Where is my wife Eden... Where is she? Why has this place become like this... This is different from what she said in the letter... This is different, Lin Qiye!!"

He ran to Lin Qiye like a madman amidst bursts of harsh creaking sounds, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and shook him vigorously:

“I wrote to her yesterday... Why did it become like this today?!

Where is she?

My wife Eden, where is she?! You must know, right?!

Lin Qiye... Dean Lin! Dean Lin... I beg you! I really beg you... Tell me! Where is my wife? ! "

Braki's roar was gradually covered by his crying. Finally, he looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of pain and pleading.

Lin Qiye's expression was extremely complicated. He looked at Braki's painful expression in silence. After a long time, he spoke hoarsely:

"Braki, there are some things I have been wanting to find a suitable opportunity to tell you..."

In the dead silence of the dilapidated wooden house, Lin Qiye told the truth about Eden bit by bit. Braki's expression changed from astonishment to confusion, and then he stood there like a sculpture.

He stood in front of the room full of golden bud flowers, lowered his head dully, raised one hand and gently placed it on the right side of his chest.

"She...she's dead?" Braki muttered mechanically, "She gave me her heart...but she died?"

"She is not dead. Her heart in you is still beating, and her soul is still with you." Lin Qiye said seriously.

“No… Impossible, this is impossible!” Braki took two steps back, widened his bloodshot eyes, and shouted, “She can’t be dead… She clearly said that even if she shared the fruits with other gods, there would still be two fruits of youth left! We each get one, why would she give me her heart!”

"The fog is more terrifying than you think... One fruit cannot save your life."

Braki stood there in a daze.

His lips kept trembling and his eyes were full of struggle. He held his head with both hands in pain and shook it vigorously, as if trying to get rid of something.

“No…it’s all fake…it’s all fake!

This is not our garden at all! Eden is still waiting for me at home... I know, this is a dream... This must be a dream!

Haha, I was wondering, how could I be released from the hospital so quickly... I haven't woken up from my dream yet! When I wake up, I will definitely still be in my ward...

After I wake up, I will take my medicine on time and rest well according to the director's instructions... When I recover, I can really leave the hospital and reunite with Eden! It must be like this!"

As Braki was talking, he suddenly burst into laughter, ran past Lin Qiye, and rushed out of the wooden house!

"Braki!" Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed, and he turned around and chased after him.

As soon as Braki rushed out of the wooden house, he stopped where he was.

At the end of the dilapidated and deserted garden, three figures were seen walking quickly towards here.
