Chapter 431: Strategies to Conquer the Spiritual Magician (5)
"Mom, how old are you this year?" Emil couldn't help asking out of surprise.
"Silly child, you are really sick and stupid." Emil's mother touched her cheek, tears of heartache fell directly, "I am almost 45 years old. You are 20 years old this year, have you forgotten everything?"
"Ah!" Emil suddenly figured out something, but she couldn't figure it out. She grabbed her mother's sleeve and asked again, "What about Shi Yi? How old is Ai Shi Yi now?"
"Her?" Emil's mother didn't hesitate, "She is the same age as you, and she is also 20 years old."
"Mom, you go home first, I will go find Shi Yi." Emil ran to Shi Yi's home in her memory like a whirlwind.
"Open the door, open the door, it's me, Emil!" She ran to the door of Shi Yi's house in one go and stopped.
"Emil, why are you here?" The person who opened the door was Shi Yi. She looked at her with joy and said, "I was just about to go to the hospital to see you. Look, do you like the sweater I made for you?"
"Yes." Emil looked at the sweaters and gifts packed on the sofa, and then looked at her friend, and couldn't help choking up and said, "It's great to see you again."
"Look at you, you are so touched." Shi Yi pinched her cheek familiarly and joked, "If I make you another cup of coffee, will you marry me?"
"Well..." Emil felt that what had happened was not important, as long as she was alive and standing in front of her. As for what she said, it didn't matter.
"Are you really going to marry me?" Shi Yi happily hugged her and promised, "Then I will officially agree."
"Ah? What are you talking about?" Emil felt that her mind seemed to have recovered a little.
"You are so cute when you are so silly." Shi Yi did not repeat it again, but hugged her again. His curious eyes fell on the strange man standing at the door, and whispered in her ear: "Emile, look at the strange man outside the door."
Emil turned and looked outside the door. There stood a man wearing a complicated and exquisite robe, holding a magic wand in his hand, and wearing a mask on his face. The spirit mage, it was the spirit mage, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"Shh." The spirit mage made a silent gesture to her.
"Do you know that man?" It was not until Shi Yi poked her elbow that she came to her senses.
She shook her head and whispered: "I don't know who he is either."
"I thought he knew you. You two looked at each other for so long." Shi Yi seemed not to notice the abnormality between them, and asked her enthusiastically: "Then should we invite him in to sit down? Although he is a little strange, it feels pitiful to stand alone."
"No need. It's not good for you to live alone." Emil found a reason for her to refuse.
Although Emil didn't know what happened to make her like this, she would understand slowly.
So she chatted with Shi Yi for a while and then went back home. After returning home, she found that her life had not changed much from what she remembered when she was twenty years old. It can even be said that it was exactly the same.
Everything returned to its original state, but people didn't remember that there were spirit masters in this world, which was really strange. But as long as Shi Yi was still alive and stayed by her side, that was enough. She had a good sleep and woke up the next day at noon. She almost ran to the bookstore. There was no long line in front of the bookstore as she imagined. She ran to the bookstore counter and found that Shi Yi was already there.
"Hello, you are late again." She saw Shi Yi handing the book to the customer familiarly, and then pouted and smiled at her.
She also laughed, scratched her uncombed hair in embarrassment, and said coquettishly, "I accidentally overslept."
"Don't do that again next time. I came so early today because I suddenly wanted to bring you breakfast. It's just right for me to take your place for a while." Shi Yi left the counter and gave her his seat. This was originally her job, not to mention that she liked it very much.
"Shi Yi, thank you very much, really very much." Emil didn't know what to say.
"Don't be too touched. Come over for breakfast after you finish this time. This is not bad. You can eat it as breakfast and lunch together." Shi Yi winked at her and walked to the reading area with the lunch box.
Emil looked at the place where she sat and found a familiar customer. He was holding a book at this time, sitting quietly at the window, just facing Shi Yi's direction.
Emil thought today was a special day, but every day after that, no matter how many alarms she set, no matter how she reminded her father and mother at home to wake her up, she could never get up before noon. She was simply puzzled.
What made her even more confused was that the spirit magician would go to the bookstore every day and sit by the window waiting, rain or shine, and never missed a day. But he never took the initiative to talk to anyone. He didn't even say a word to Shi Yi.
She felt that the town was like a clockwork, and she and others were just accessories on the clock. Because every day in the town seemed to be repeated.
But she never got tired of a day.
Because her good friend Shi Yi often came to the bookstore to accompany her, bringing all kinds of carefully made food, handicrafts and even wreaths made of wild flowers collected from the roadside. Her good friend Shi Yi sometimes discussed with her about the weirdo sitting by the window. Every time she listened to Shi Yi's speech quietly, she found that the current Shi Yi seemed to be more lively and innocent than the previous Shi Yi!
Time passed like this for about five years, and the town suddenly returned to the past. The day she noticed the changes in the town was when she suddenly realized that she didn't see the spirit magician in the bookstore.
That day after work, she ran to Shi's house, wanting to see how she was, but found the figure of the spirit magician at the door.
"You're here?"
She found that he was covered in sadness, and the great grief even changed the tone of his voice.
"What happened to Shiyi?" She suddenly had a bad premonition. She almost ran into Shiyi's room.
The spirit magician followed her slowly, saying in a sad tone, "She's dead."
She stopped abruptly and looked back at him in disbelief.
"She's dead." He whispered, "After the battle with the Black Death Monster, she was cursed and will never live past the age of twenty-five. My spirit magic can only keep her life between twenty and twenty-five years old."
