"In my life, I have only one regret: that I never got to meet you. I really wanted to see what you looked like, the one who has been with me day and night, and whether you were the same as the one in my mind."
“Lü’er…”
"..."
Others may not be able to see it, but Wan Jiao can.
Beside the old man was a beautiful woman dressed in green, smiling and crying.
Oh, or more precisely, it wasn't a woman, it was a female demon.
A... bamboo spirit.
The bamboo spirit must have truly fallen for the old man, as it cried uncontrollably and desperately tried to reach out and touch him, but its hand passed right through his face.
The old man raised his hand and made a stroking motion in the air. "Greenie, don't cry. I will ask the master to let us meet again."
Greenie shook her head at the old man with a heart-wrenching cry, "My existence is unacceptable to the world, and no one can allow us to meet. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you and caused you to die with resentment... Don't worry, if you die, I will never live alone. I am willing to leave this world with you."
"If you die, you'll have nothing left, but he has an afterlife. Are you really willing to accept that?" Wan Jiao spoke when Lü'er said she wanted to die with the old man. She stared intently at Lü'er in her green dress and asked her in a deep voice.
Greenie never dreamed that there would actually be someone in this world who could see her.
Her gaze shifted from the old man to Wan Jiao's face on the phone screen.
The moment their eyes met, Greenie's guess was confirmed: this female anchor really could see her.
Immediately, Greenie disregarded everything else and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Wan Jiao, "Master, since you can see me, can you also help us meet?"
"Master, please grant his wish and let him not die with regrets."
Greenie's head banged loudly.
Wan Jiao: "Get up first."
"Master, you've agreed?" Greenie was both surprised and delighted.
Wan Jiao: "He is my last lucky audience member today. We have a special connection. I will do my best to make his wish come true."
"Thank you, Master." As she spoke, Greenie stood up from the ground, looking somewhat like a well-behaved young wife, and stood behind the old man's wheelchair.
[Oh my god, am I hallucinating or just imagining things? I actually heard and saw the anchor talking to the air over there, near the old man's location...]
Brother, is it possible that you're not hallucinating or imagining things, but that there really is someone on the old man's side, and that you, me, and the old man just can't see them?
As a long-time fan, I know the streamer's abilities all too well. Since she can talk to thin air, it means that this thin air is not the same as that thin air.
[Oh my god, it turns out the old man wasn't crazy after all...]
My worldview has been shattered... Indeed, physicists were right, the end of science is metaphysics...
The viewers in the live stream went wild.
The old man was also moved to tears, "Master, did you see Greenie? She's right beside me, isn't she?"
Wan Jiao nodded, "Don't panic, I'll find a way to let you two meet."
"Good, good, good!" the old man said three times in a row. "I'm not in a hurry. I'm waiting to see Greenie."
What followed was a truly magical scene.
The bamboo spirit, Greenie, earnestly asked Wanjiao, "Master, could you please give me some time?"
Wan Jiao raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to do?"
"It's the first and last time I'll see him, and I want to dress up nicely."
Wan Jiao was speechless.
You're just a bamboo spirit, you can easily transform yourself, right? Why would you need any more time?
However, faced with Greenie's earnest and expectant gaze, Wan Jiao couldn't bring herself to refuse. She nodded, "Okay!"
Over the next five minutes, Greenie carefully dressed herself up, and when she was done, she was indeed more radiant and beautiful than before.
"Master, I'm all better now."
Wan Jiao used her spiritual power to draw a talisman, which she then projected onto the camera. She then chanted an ancient incantation.
After she finished reading, she opened her eyes. "Imperial decree!"
A scene even more amazing than movie special effects appeared: a stunningly beautiful woman in a green dress appeared beside the previously empty old man.
Her long hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, and her every move exuded an antique charm... She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
Viewers in the live stream were completely stunned, regardless of gender.
[So beautiful, is she a fairy?]
[Damn, this single guy is devastated! Why can 80- or 90-year-old grandpas have such beautiful lovers, while I'm stuck with just my phone?!]
[As a fellow single person, I have to ask: Even old men have partners, but I don't? What kind of human suffering is this...?]
[There's such a stunningly beautiful woman by the old man's side, yet they've never met. Why is that, streamer?]
[Oh right, host, what kind of psychedelic plot is this? Can you tell everyone about it?]
Wan Jiao: "As we all know, demons have physical forms. This Green Girl is indeed undoubtedly transformed from bamboo, but because she did not undergo a long period of cultivation, but was formed from the old man's longing for his deceased wife, she cannot appear in front of people. However, this is only temporary. Given time and diligent cultivation, she will surely be able to be like an ordinary 'demon'."
While Wanjiao and netizens were sharing their knowledge, the old man and Lü'er embraced and wept, pouring out their hearts to each other.
Unfortunately, beautiful moments are always fleeting. Just ten minutes later, the old man's life came to an end.
On his deathbed, he held Greenie's hand, repeatedly urging her, "Greenie, live well, wait for me..."
The old man meant that he would find Greenie in his next life.
Greenie understood, nodding like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, if you don't come, I won't leave, I'll wait for you here."
Having received Greenie's affirmative response, the old man felt no regret and passed away with a smile on his face.
Since no one on the old man's end had disconnected, Wan Jiao proactively clicked to disconnect.
I don't know why, but the old man and the girl Greenie had a really strong aftereffect on me, and I'm still finding it hard to move on.
"If you don't come, I won't leave. How incredibly touching! This kind of fairytale love can only belong to other people."
[With this plot, even the most devoted love lovers would be defeated and utterly humiliated!!!]
