Yu Xunge took the dead leaf of the golden tree and handed it to Tulan.
Tulan, who was playing games, immediately said, "I didn't help you in this game, so you don't have to share with me!" After a pause, she said, "The blue food tent at the end is nothing, you don't have to give it back to me!"
Yu Xunge took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily. She half-knelt beside the sofa and looked into Tu Lan's eyes. She said softly but seriously:
"This has nothing to do with contribution. I'm not doing this to thank you for helping me in the end, to repay a favor, or for fairness. I don't have any purpose... This is..."
She placed the dead leaf on Tulan's belly and patted it. "This is a gift. I have something good and want to share it with you, so I give it to you as a gift. That's all. It's no different from change, small toys, or ice cream. It's just a gift and has no meaning."
After saying that, she hurriedly rubbed Tulan's head a few times, took out all the delicacies below 2 stars from her backpack and placed them on the table, then Apparated back to the bedroom on the first floor to rest.
…
The living room was quiet for a long time.
Tu Lan held the withered leaf of the golden tree and stared blankly at the GAME OVER on the screen.
Fortunately, B8017913 doesn't have much competitive spirit, and doesn't have any obsession with playing games. It doesn't matter whether Tulan plays or not.
After a long silence, Tulan suddenly said to B8017913: "Do you know? After the last God Game, she gave me half of the harvest, a full three golden tree dead leaves."
"oh?"
"I thought I was happy enough that time, but this time, even though I only got one piece, I was many times happier than last time. I don't know how to describe it, and I can't explain why."
"Do you think she wasn't sincere enough last time?"
"No! Of course not!!!"
After a fierce rebuttal, Tu Lan held up the dead leaf of the golden tree and looked at the moonlight outside the window through it.
She whispered, speaking faster and faster, as if she had finally sorted out her chaotic thoughts and was afraid that if she didn't catch them quickly, they would slip away:
"It's like a magic formula. Her emotions are like a magic formula. You have to input this or that positive emotion, and she will slowly respond to you with the same positive emotion. You input 1, and she will respond with 0.5. She won't ignore you, nor will she make you feel like you're performing a one-man show. Everything you put in will be rewarded from her."
B8017913 thought about every moment he had spent with Yu Xunge in this game, and agreed: "Rich but stingy."
Tu Lan savored the two words carefully, nodded and added: "Real and cold, like a written program...but this!!"
The little ice dragon flew up holding the dead leaf of the golden tree!
It flew around the living room once, twice, and three times, and finally stopped at B8017913. She held the golden tree dead leaf, which was half the size of her body, in front of the mini magic square.
"Do you know what this is?"
"This is the first time she has actively signaled to me!"
B8017913 actually couldn't handle such complicated emotions, so it just said, "But she said that what she gave you is no different from change, a small toy, or ice cream."
Tu Lan did not refute this statement. She recalled Yu Xunge's emotions just now, so clumsy and so cautious, as if she put her hands together to hold a precious grain of sand in the water, trying to scoop it up, but afraid that if she moved a little too much, it would slip away with the water.
"Yes, that's the key. They are no different. They are all there to make me happy. It's not about calculating who pays more and who pays less. Making me happy is the meaning of their existence."
Tulan held the golden tree's dead leaves in his hands and said softly, "But this is different from snacks and toys. This is her sharing her glory and power with me."
She understands Yu Xunge better than anyone else. In Hou Xunge's heart, no matter how expensive the clothes, food, or toys are, they cannot compare to things that can bring power.
These are two completely different values in Yu Xunge's mind. No matter how gorgeous and rare ordinary items are, in Yu Xunge's eyes, they are just a pile of garbage that is of little use.
