After a while, Mother Hua made a vague sound again, "Why didn't it tell me?"
"If I knew..."
"I'll stay with it."
"Always stay with it."
"Why did I fall asleep?"
"Xiao Jin..."
Mother Hua was suddenly very sad.
Xiao Jin was by her side until the end of his life, but she was sleeping? !
After waking up, she was still blaming Xiao Jin for leaving without saying goodbye? !
How could she go so far? !
How could she...
...
Hua's father comforted Hua's mother, "You don't know either."
"It doesn't want you to know either."
"You are friends, aren't you?"
"It also doesn't want you to be sad."
...
Yes, Xiao Jin didn't want her to be sad.
Mother Hua knows.
However, after getting along for just one day, she has been accepting the other person's tenderness.
Xiao Jin praised her beautiful piano music.
Xiao Jin clearly understood half of what she said but still tried hard to respond to her desire for answers.
Xiao Jin said that it came to her because of the sound of her piano.
Xiao Jin said that if she stopped playing the piano, it would be a pity that it would not be able to hear her music in the future.
Xiao Jin said that since they already knew each other, even if she stopped playing the piano, they would still be friends.
...
"You are Mayfly's only friend in life."
Xiao Xiao's fingers rubbed the side of the teacup, "I think it hopes that your memories together will be beautiful."
"It's nice to meet you."
"And I hope you enjoy meeting it."
"and-"
He whispered, "Remember it."
.......
"I'm glad you saw me."
"Thank you for playing such a beautiful tune for me."
"I hope you remember me."
"At least...don't forget me so quickly."
"I am......"
"Xiao Jin."
...
This passage suddenly appeared in Mother Hua's mind.
This is......
Hua's mother covered her mouth with force again, and her vision became blurry and colorless.
She seemed to have heard these words in her sleep that day.
But she didn't care, she was too sleepy.
The next second, she fell into a dark and sweet dream again.
The next day, she had forgotten even these words.
She didn't think about it again until today.
What should I do, Xiaojin?
You clearly told me not to forget your words...
You clearly said...
I have forgotten you for so many years.
...
Would you be angry?
sorry.
I'm really sorry.
...
"Master Xiao, mayflies are monsters. Do they only have such a short life?"
Seeing Hua's mother sad, Hua's father couldn't help but ask.
"Not all monsters live long lives."
Xiao Xiao's answer made Hua's father silent.
In most people's minds, monsters can live for a long time.
At least, much longer than the short human lifespan of a hundred years.
However, this monster named Mayfly, just like its name, has a short life.
One day's scene completes its life.
...
"Xiao Jin..."
"Is it really dead?"
Mother Hua didn't want to believe it.
No matter how she recalled it over and over again, she didn't find that Xiao Jin showed any abnormality in front of her.
Xiaojin listened to her performance quietly.
Xiao Jin danced along with her playing.
Xiaojin studied the music score curiously.
...
Xiao Jin's performance was not to say that he was afraid, but there was not even a hint of hesitation about his death.
It so naturally agreed to what she said about playing the piano to it in the future.
He looked so expectant.
Her determination to practice the piano became even stronger.
Mother Hua covered her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and murmured in a low voice, "This little liar."
...
"If Xiao Jin were a mayfly, he would be dead."
Xiao Xiao said calmly, "If it is not a mayfly, then it should still be alive."
Unless there are racial reasons, monsters will not die so easily.
...
"Not a mayfly..."
Mother Hua repeated these words, looking a little dazed.
"Master Xiao."
She cried out and fell into silence. After a few breaths, she asked again, "Have you seen a mayfly?"
The question suddenly occurred to her.
He asked without hesitation.
...
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I met one before."
"That-"
Mother Hua pursed her lips, "Did you...see it...die?"
It was difficult for her to finish the sentence.
His eyes were fixed on Master Xiao.
But don’t know what you are expecting?
...
Death...?
Xiao Xiao was a little distracted.
Just for a moment.
"I watched it disappear."
Seeing Hua's mother looking apologetic and opening her mouth to speak, he smiled and said, "It was very happy when it left."
"very happy?"
Mother Hua's tone was confused.
"It finally saw the epiphyllum at the last moment."
That time he was really grateful to Agawa, "It was very happy."
"Although I'm a little regretful that I didn't let it see the process of blooming."
"Epiphyllum?"
Mother Hua couldn't keep up with Master Xiao's thinking.
Xiao Xiao chuckled a few times.
"The mayfly I met was very interested in the epiphyllum that looked very similar to itself."
...
"A ephemera that lives and dies, a ephemeral flower that appears briefly in the pan."
"They are very similar, but completely different."
"The mayfly dies, but the epiphyllum blooms again."
Xiao Xiao thought, there is actually a huge difference between ephemera and epiphyllum.
...
"At that time, in order to help it find epiphyllum, I went to all the surrounding flower shops."
"Because it's already sunset when you encounter mayflies."
"The flower and bird market is also closed."
"There is no one around me who raises night-blooming cereus."
"It's summer, but it gets dark very quickly. I haven't found the night-blooming cereus yet."
"Mayfly's time is running out."
"Just when I was anxious, my friend found Epiphyllum."
"I am very happy."
"But the body of the mayfly started to disappear."
"ah?"
Mother Hua couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"I have never been so anxious, and I even panicked."
He especially remembered that his heart was beating very fast at that time, "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it in time."
"Fortunately, I finally managed to catch up."
"The mayfly sees the epiphyllum."
Hearing this, Mother Hua couldn't help but smile.
"Then, it completely disappeared."
...
"Disappeared...?"
Mother Hua was a little lost, "It fulfilled its wish."
"There shouldn't be any regrets when it leaves, right?"
"But Xiao Jin..."
"Is it without regrets when it leaves?"
...
"It said goodbye to me."
"I remembered."
The native speaker sounded anxious, "I vaguely heard Xiao Jin's voice in my sleep."
"I obviously heard it, but I didn't wake up."
"I didn't say a final goodbye to it."
"I left him alone."
...
Mother Hua took a deep breath, her voice trembling a little, "Because I-"
"It hasn't seen much of the world."
"It has been accompanying me in the piano room and listening to me practice."
"I studied piano with my mother at night, but I didn't even talk to it."
...
"It obviously only has one day, but it spends the whole day accompanying me."
"But I didn't accompany it properly."
Mother Hua was filled with regret. (To be continued)
