5 Chapter 5
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you mute?"
Zeng Yun was brought back to his senses by the voice and he quickly looked around.
Where is the garden? It's just a desert with only a few green shoots.
But the feeling just now didn't seem like an illusion.
And it's like, it's really experienced.
Seeing that Zeng Yun ignored her for a long time, Gu Yue stamped her feet, and then hurried to tidy up the seedlings that were twisted by the water.
Zeng Yun looked in the direction of Gu Yue's movements, and then he realized that he seemed to have caused a big disaster. The green plants that were just growing majestically now fell down pitifully, looking like a defeated army.
Seeing how Gu Yue cared for the seedlings, he probably wouldn't answer his question unless he took good care of them.
There was no way, Zeng Yun could only put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and help Gu Yue loosen the watering area little by little, and cover it with dry soil to ensure that the seedlings could stand up.
Zeng Yun felt tired and exhausted as he replanted the seedlings bit by bit, even though he knew it was a dream. He looked at Gu Yue and couldn't help but admire her persistence.
After all this was done, Zeng Yun finally felt it was time to ask, but when he turned around, Gu Yue took out a new bag of seeds from somewhere and started a new round of seedling cultivation.
Zeng Yunke was dumbfounded. He was afraid that if he didn't ask, another night would pass, so he quickly said, "Gu Yue, I have a question for you."
But Gu Yue's hands did not stop moving. She seemed to know Zeng Yun's question. She shook her head and said, "I can't answer what you want to ask."
She looked up, and there was a complicated expression in her eyes that Zeng Yun could not understand, but Zeng Yun did not understand anything. He just felt that the world was ridiculous.
Zeng Yun insisted, "Is my missing memory because of you? What is your relationship with me? Why doesn't anyone around me recognize you?"
The barrage of questions received no response. Gu Yue quietly looked at the seedlings she had planted earlier and said lightly, "Look, they're growing so fast."
"What do you mean by quick..."
Zeng Yun was halfway through his words when he fell silent the moment he saw a plant with branches and leaves growing on the ground.
Just now, these flowers and plants seemed to be just sprouting?
Now leaves have grown and flower buds are starting to droop.
How is this done?
Gu Yueyou said: "Do you really want to know the answer?"
Of course! Who wants to lose part of their memory for no apparent reason?
But Gu Yue's tone just now made Zeng Yun inexplicably uneasy.
It was like, after he knew, something bad would happen.
Zeng Yun was stunned for a moment and did not reply.
Gu Yue just said to herself: "If you really want to know, please wait a moment."
"Waiting for what?"
Gu Yue's gaze swept over the flowers and plants that were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wait for the flowers."
Zeng Yun didn't seem to understand, "What?"
"When all these flowers bloom, I can tell you the answer."
As the days passed, the flowers and plants that had been planted grew more and more lush.
Zeng Yun discovered that Gu Yue rarely talked about the past, and whenever he talked about things in K City, Gu Yue didn't seem very surprised.
But when he talked about his college days, Gu Yue became curious and kept asking about the follow-up.
Especially when he talked about his accommodation troubles and his roommates, Gu Yue always blinked her eyes and pricked up her ears to listen to him attentively.
He mentioned Ji Qiang and said that Ji Qiang had participated in a college league some time ago and won a championship for their university.
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Zeng Yun also talked about Shen Sinian, saying that this roommate will go abroad as an exchange student next year.
"Overseas, I wonder if it's as interesting as in the book!"
Sometimes he would mention Lu Yuanxi, sigh and shake his head and say that the young master was really difficult to get along with, his little mouth was like poison, and what he said was always choking.
At this time, Gu Yue would also be filled with righteous indignation and say: "How can this be! This is too much!"
In short, no matter what Zeng Yun said, Gu Yue always had something to say.
Sometimes, Gu Yue would take the initiative to ask Zeng Yun some questions. Although most of them were related to flowers, Zeng Yun always felt that Gu Yue was not talking about flowers.
The question that Gu Yue asked most often, and which Zeng Yun least understood, was probably about the blooming and falling of flowers.
"Zeng Yun, why do you think the flowers fall?"
Zeng Yun felt strange. Even children would know this kind of question, right?
"Because it's the law of nature, right? After the blooming period, the flowers will fall, right?"
Gu Yue nodded, seeming to agree with Zeng Yun's opinion. "So, do you think it's a pity for flowers to fall?"
Zeng Yun paused for a moment while pruning the branches. He had never considered such a problem.
"That's right. Many poets have lamented the falling of flowers. Although we all understand that beautiful things are not durable, it always makes people sad to see beautiful things fade away with time."
After finishing speaking, Zeng Yun asked in confusion: "Why do you ask such a question? Are you in a bad mood recently?"
Gu Yue shook her head, her lively face showing no trace of sadness. She looked at the emerald green before her and said, "Looking at these flowers and plants that haven't grown yet, I was just feeling emotional for a moment."
Although there was nothing wrong, Zeng Yun felt something was a little strange.
Who would think about the scene of flowers falling before the flowers and plants have grown yet?
"But I think that although the life of flowers and plants is short, they have grown and bloomed, so there seems to be no need to be sad."
This is a positive thought, but Zeng Yun still replied: "In fact, many people don't care about flowers and plants, but they see themselves in them, so they can empathize with them."
That's why it's a pity.
There is not much time for such relaxing chats. Ever since Gu Yue took out batches of seeds, there is almost no place to stand on this small piece of land.
There are more and more flowers and plants that need to be taken care of, but Zeng Yun doesn't know much about flowers and plants, so the situation is often a complete failure.
"Oh no, I can't water the sunflowers anymore! Sunflowers only need moist soil, otherwise the roots won't be able to breathe!"
"Hydrangeas should no longer be exposed to fluorescent lights! Hydrangeas love water and shade, and they will fade if exposed to too much sunlight."
"The rose leaves are burnt. Please give me the kettle and the shade cloth."
As time went by, Zeng Yun almost forgot his previous problems, and he began to feel that such dreams were not boring.
But sometimes, Zeng Yun was also curious, "Why do we need to plant flowers and plants?"
Gu Yue had just finished removing insects from the roses. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's really ugly here, bare as it is, and I don't know how to do anything architectural."
"Maintaining flowers and plants is probably the easiest way to change the environment, and it's also one of the few things I can actually show off."
This was a pitiful statement, but Zeng Yun felt that he was not as good as Gu Yue. Gu Yue had the ability to turn a desert into a garden, but Zeng Yun could not do it.
Zeng Yun once again imitated Gu Yue and thought about the items he wanted in his mind.
Anything will do, a drawing board and brushes, or your own textbook.
But when I opened my eyes, there was still nothing in front of me.
Why can't he do it?
Gu Yue looked at Zeng Yun and knew that he had just tried again.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe you just used up your wishing privileges without realizing it."
At the moment when the first sunflower bloomed, Zeng Yun looked at Gu Yue's lively eyes and suddenly remembered the agreement between them.
But at this moment, he was not worrying about himself.
He suddenly wanted to meet her.
Such words are too offensive, Zeng Yun cannot say that.
But as long as he can remember the past, he can follow his memory and understand her better.
"Old Moon, the flowers are blooming."
Gu Yue looked at the flowers, then at Zeng Yun, and gave a cunning smile like a fox.
"This one has bloomed, but the others haven't."
Nothing has changed here, just a little flower.
So, it’s not enough.
Zeng Yun widened his eyes, looking at Gu Yue's expression, and said in disbelief: "You you you——"
Gu Yue took an inch and took a step closer, "I, I, I—what's wrong with me?"
Gu Yue was now like an old friend, acting completely as she pleased. She said with considerable ease, "Xiao Yunzi, put yourself in your proper place. You need something from me, but you can't offer anything else in exchange. Of course, I have the final say!"
Although the other party was acting so blatantly, Zeng Yun didn't get angry. Instead, he found it extremely cute.
The next second, he was ordered around by Gu Yue to take care of those precious flowers and plants.
Even Ji Qiang, a rough guy, could see the changes in Zeng Yun.
"Boy, you've been so cheerful lately, could it be that something has happened behind our backs?"
Zeng Yun blushed upon hearing this, and then, trying to hide the truth, she said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
But the next second Ji Qiang grabbed Zeng Yun's hand. Ji Qiang, the sports student, relied on his own strength and Zeng Yun's "fear of using the right weapon" to easily take out the sketchbook from his hand.
One watercolor after another, with brilliant and soft colors, records the growth of flowers and plants.
There are others.
Although there are no faces drawn, each one is lifelike, especially the sparse spots of light, which make the scene look even more gentle and bright, showing the painter's intentions.
Ji Qiang remembered that Zeng Yun had said before that there was no visible light of the sun and moon in dreams.
These lights were given to the girl by him.
"I'm telling you, don't tell me you've been possessed by a female ghost."
Turning around and seeing Zeng Yun's somewhat angry expression, Ji Qiang quickly said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I spoke without restraint!"
Zeng Yun took the sketchbook back in a bad mood, but Ji Qiang was really worried and asked again, "Don't you think this is very strange? No matter who she is, why did she appear in your dream for no apparent reason? You said it happened once or twice, but if I dream about the same person every day, I'm going to wonder if someone has cast a spell on me."
"Don't talk nonsense, Gu Yue is not that kind of person."
“Don’t…”
Before Ji Qiang finished speaking, the two of them suddenly looked at each other and realized something.
"You can remember her name!"
Zeng Yun couldn't quite believe it. He muttered it several times to make sure that he really hadn't forgotten it. Then, as if he had found a treasure, he wrote Gu Yue's name solemnly on the sketchbook.
Ji Qiang: "Now that we know the name, it's easier to find this person!"
Zeng Yun didn’t remember anything before, and couldn’t even describe the character’s characteristics clearly. Isn’t it like looking for a needle in a haystack?
Zeng Yun thought the same, so he went to ask his family and friends again, but still no one told him, and everyone still said they didn't know.
Once again we were at a stalemate, and still no news of this person was found.
Zeng Yun even looked through his high school and junior high school graduation photos, but didn't see Gu Yue.
At this point, even Ji Qiang had to ask again: "Did you really get stained with something dirty?"
I thought I could find the person if I knew the name, but I didn't expect to find nothing.
Zeng Yun didn't believe that the other party was a bad person. If he was really a bad person, he must have some motive, right?
"Think about it, the ghosts in stories either attack directly, leaving people completely defenseless, or they take their time and use benefits to bribe people. You see, I don't have much influence now."
"Just make up an excuse for them! If something really happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Although Ji Qiang was serious, he continued, "Why don't you post something online and look for it?"
Zeng Yun knows how powerful the Internet is now, but precisely because of this, he is reluctant to use it casually.
Firstly, it is easy to find the wrong person, and such a large scope of dissemination may cause trouble to others.
Secondly, such behavior is not polite. Even if the person can be found, it will be suspected of moral kidnapping, and the other party will not have a good impression.
"Forget it, let's just consider it as not being destined enough."
Zeng Yun said this, looked at the latest line drawing, and then closed the sketchbook.
Gradually, the desert in the dream turned into a garden, without any trace of its former desolation, but there was no conversation between the two recently.
Gu Yue didn't say it on her own initiative, and Zeng Yun didn't know how to bring up the matter.
He just had a feeling that even if he asked, the other party might not tell him.
Zeng Yun looked at the flowers again. Now the flowers of different seasons and temperatures were competing with each other for beauty, which was a rare scene in reality.
He had long known that those so-called "planting techniques" would probably have little effect here.
After all, it is not logical for these flowers to bloom here.
Both of them had their own thoughts and no one was in the mood to appreciate the flowers today.
