"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you apart from other plants."
Chu Zehuai rubbed his temples, looked at the leaves of the green plants, and then at the white and lush vines. He felt that he must have not slept well last night to make such a low-level mistake.
"It doesn't matter. I'm sure I'll be able to tell them apart later."
At worst, he would just crawl into the other person's clothes a few more times. He didn't believe that he couldn't leave a deep impression on Chu Zehuai.
Seeing that the atmosphere was still a little tense, Bai Yu simply changed the topic:
"I just heard Captain Chu, you want to make breakfast? There's no need for that. Grandpa has already made breakfast. I just went over to help him prepare the ingredients."
He couldn't fall asleep lying in bed anyway, so when he noticed the noise in the kitchen, he simply went over to help.
Grandpa Chu was really kind. He not only asked him what he liked to eat, but also asked him what he liked to do, what kind of environment he liked, what kind of colors he liked, and what kind of people he liked.
"I should have gotten up earlier."
Chu Zehuai muttered to himself and wondered again why he slept so deeply last night.
...
...
It's a bit rude to ask guests to prepare food so early in the morning.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go eat first."
Bai Yu's eyes flashed and he naturally ended the topic.
He asked the system to look for some information last night and found that if humans do not sleep or do not get enough sleep in the middle of the night, they will develop very serious and diverse diseases. So he simply condensed a hypnotic flower quietly.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least Chu Zehuai didn’t notice it.
The plant came to the restaurant with careful thoughts in mind, and just as it sat down, there was a knock on the door of the old house.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and resigned himself to opening the door. The moment he saw the person coming, his eyes lit up.
He ran back into the house, forcibly grabbed Chu Zehuai's hand and ran out, directly pulling his confused brother to the door.
“Happy New Year, Grandpa Shen! Come on, tell my brother about his future relationship. I don’t believe that his relationship and marriage will be all green!”
When he asked Chen An to predict his brother's feelings, and the prediction came out to be green, this matter became Lin Mo's obsession.
It must be that Shen An’s ability to predict the future is not good enough, so he just doesn’t believe it. How could his brother’s love be green?
After hearing this, Chu Zehuai:......
“Grandpa Shen, don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense.”
The person who was forcibly pulled over was enough to make his brother burst into tears, and he sighed.
"In fact, I could sense that the little black bird was going to ask this before I came here, so I was already prepared."
Grandpa Shen stroked his long beard and said.
"My feelings aren't a big deal, so there's really no need for you to activate your abilities."
Chu Zehuai looked helplessly at the smiling old man in front of him.
"No, no, no, this is very, very important."
Grandpa Shen looked unfathomable.
Chu Zehuai slowly typed out a question mark.
Before he could even ask a question, two booklets were stuffed into his hands.
"Follow your heart and let it guide you in the right direction. No matter where you end up, it's all destiny's arrangement."
Grandpa Shen said a long string of confusing words, patted Chu Zehuai on the shoulder,
"I have something to talk to Lao Chu about. You guys can just play in the yard by yourselves."
Chu Zehuai: ....It seems that they are no longer old enough to play in the yard.
The two books in his arms lay quietly. Curious Lin Mo took one and opened it, and Chu Zehuai opened the other one.
The Thorn Birds
This is a fairy tale book for children. The pictures are large and the words are small. You can read the whole book in less than a minute. It tells the story of a thorn bird.
A long time ago, a thornbird finally found the thorn that belonged to it. It loved the thorn tree so much that it inserted its body into the longest and sharpest thorn. Amidst the hot red tears and blood, it expressed its everlasting love with its poignant swan song.
Chu Zehuai finished reading the fairy tale booklet with a frown.
Grandpa Shen seemed to still treat him as a child. After he could read by himself, he never read such fairy tales for children again.
Not to mention this is a dark fairy tale.
In contrast to his extremely fast reading speed, Lin Mo next to him read word by word, taking out his mobile phone to search from time to time, his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
His booklet was written entirely in ancient Dongzhou language. It looked familiar, but in fact, he didn't recognize a single word of it.
In order to understand the above text, Lin Mo had to search the Internet one by one. After searching, he had to translate it based on his knowledge of ancient Chinese which he had long forgotten.
Fortunately, there were not many words in this booklet and the sentence order was relatively simple. With the help of the Internet, Lin Mo barely understood the meaning.
"She is virtuous and prudent by nature, gentle and wise with a righteous mind... Wow, your prophecy seems to be the edict of the ancient Dongzhou feudal dynasty to confer the title of empress. Brother, your status is indescribable!"
Chu Zehuai:......

In the side room
“Actually, I suspect something has affected the Shen family’s prophecy. The results given by Grandpa Shen and Shen An are a bit strange.”
Chu Zehuai put away the two booklets and briefly told Bai Yu, who had just finished his meal, about the scene that had just happened.
"Hey, I think it's pretty good, brother, that's the fate of a queen, so noble."
Lin Mo sat cross-legged aside and said.
"This blessing is for you, do you want it?"
Chu Zehuai glanced at his brother who was smiling foolishly with his head propped up.
"Are the Shen family's predictions so accurate?"
Bai Yu blinked, still a little bit skeptical about this ability to predict the future.
If what will happen in the future can be predicted so easily, then what kind of future is it? What's the point of it?
"Anyway, I think it's quite accurate, and the Shen family has a very good relationship with our family. Since the previous generation, our family's name has been chosen according to the prophecy given by Grandpa Shen."
Lin Mo nodded, pulled out a piece of paper from somewhere, and drew a simple family tree with a pen.
At the top is Grandpa Chu, and below him are three lines, connecting Chu Yungui, Chu Yunrou and Chu Yunsheng in turn.
"This is my uncle's name. Grandpa Shen said that my uncle would go to a very far place where no one could find him, and there would be no news from him ever since. The word 'Gui' represents everyone's hope that he would return one day and go home again."
Now it seems that Chu Yungui and his wife died together in the mouth of the A-level pollutant "Sky Devourer", and they really went to a distant and untraceable place.
"When my mother was born, Grandpa Shen said, 'This child will be strong all his life.' Too much strength will break easily, so he gave my mother the word 'soft'. But I think this is of no use at all. My mother is still very strong, whether at work or at home."
Lin Mo didn't know what past he recalled. The feathers on his back trembled and he looked like a little quail.
“As for Chu Yunsheng, Grandpa Shen only gave a famous quote ‘When he stares into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at him’, saying that he will fall into the abyss one day, so he was named ‘Sheng’, hoping that he can fly out of the abyss. Now it seems unlikely.”
Chu Zehuai took over Lin Mo's words. Compared with the latter, he knew this little uncle better.
“I see.”
Bai Yu rested his chin on his hand and looked at Lin Mo.
"Then your name, does it mean..."
Lin Mo nodded sadly: "When I was born, Grandpa Shen said that I would have no cultural literacy in the future, so my mother gave me a name so simply and crudely."
Bai Yu couldn't help laughing out loud. After noticing the resentful look from his friend, he immediately stopped laughing and turned to look at Chu Zehuai: "Does Captain Chu's name have a deep meaning?"
Chu Zehuai nodded: "When I was born, Grandpa Shen said that there are too many flames in my fate. If the fire is too strong, there is a risk of self-immolation, so I need to use the word next to the word water to suppress it."
It turns out that he will indeed have to live with extremely strong flames throughout his life.
Whether it is the sun bird of animal awakening or the flame of elemental awakening, the fire energy is too strong. One character next to the word "water" is not enough, and two must be used.
"I see. I've read the Dongzhou Five Elements Feng Shui Theory briefly before."
Bai Yu nodded to show that he understood, and continued,
"So the reason for choosing the two characters 'Ze Huai' is that we hope that Captain Chu can be more capable, right?"
Chu Zehuai:......
Lin Mo: ......
That's exactly what it means, but why does it sound so strange?
