As they rode, Luo Kai suddenly slowed down and said softly, "Let me tell you a story."
Lu Qing didn't say anything. She muttered to herself, "Who wants to hear a story? What kind of story can a boorish guy like you have!"
"Once upon a time … No, a long time ago, there was a boy who was very good at his studies. After graduation, he stayed in school to teach. He even chased after the prettiest girl in school. His life should have been very happy, but human society always revolved around money and power. He gradually became dissatisfied with his ordinary life and began to chase after money and power …"
At first, Lu Qing decided not to listen to Luo Kai's lousy story, but as she listened, she felt that Luo Kai's words were a little sad, so she calmed down and listened.
At this time, Luo Kai suddenly stopped, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.
Lu Qing couldn't help but say, "Go on. Did he become bad later on?"
“
Luo Kai came back to his senses and nodded bitterly, "Yes, he became very bad. He focused on getting to the top and even had a few lovers outside."
"Then what about his original girlfriend?"
"They were already married. His wife even gave birth to a cute little daughter for him."
Lu Qing suddenly pinched his waist and said fiercely, "You men are really bad!"
When they arrived at Lady Hua's small courtyard, just as they opened the courtyard door, a gray shadow rushed out. It stood on Lu Qing's shoulder and bared its teeth at Luo Kai. It was the Blood Monkey. The difference was that its red hair had turned gray, similar to a normal monkey. It looked like it had been dyed.
In the blink of an eye, this guy had forgotten its savior and dared to bare its teeth at him. Luo Kai fiercely raised his fist as a threat. The Blood Monkey was so scared that it slipped off Lu Qing's shoulder and hurried into the house.
Lu Qing angrily said to him, "Why are you scaring Little Gray!"
It seemed that Lu Qing didn't know what happened that day. Luo Kai innocently spread out his hands. "It bared its teeth at me first."
Granny Hua stood in the courtyard and looked at them lovingly. "Qing 'er, quickly invite the guests in and sit down."
Lu Qing angrily walked into the house, ignoring Luo Kai.
Lady Hua said helplessly, "This girl has been spoiled by me. Come in and sit."
Luo Kai first looked at the purple flower. Although it was snowing, the purple flower was still blooming. It seemed to have sensed Luo Kai's arrival. The stamen moved slightly to welcome him.
Walking into the house, Lady Hua brewed a cup of flower tea. The fragrance permeated the air. Luo Kai took a sip and felt his entire body was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Even his pores seemed to emit the fragrance. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What kind of tea is this?
It smells so good! "
Lady Hua smiled and said, "It's made from the petals of Zi Lan. If you like it, come here often."
Luo Kai really liked the fragrance. He smiled and said, "Granny, don't be so stingy. You might as well give me some."
Lady Hua shook her head. "Zi Lan likes you very much. That's why it shed a few petals. If you want to drink it, you have to come here."
Luo Kai couldn't help but point outside. He was stunned and said, "Granny, what do you mean? It … it likes me?"
"Yes, young man. Don't underestimate the wisdom of plants. They just don't know how to express themselves."
Luo Kai got up and walked to the window. He looked at the delicate flower. It seemed that in this world, not only animals had high wisdom, but plants also had wisdom.
Lady Hua followed him to the window and said softly, "Zi Lan blossoms and bears fruit every year. Its one year is equivalent to a human being's one hundred years old. Now, it's time to bear fruit. However, it lacks a certain factor. That's why it hasn't borne fruit yet."
"What factor?" Luo Kai was puzzled.
Lady Hua's expression was serious. "Plants are also divided into male and female. It lacks a certain male factor."
"Hmm … Do we need to find another species for it?"
Lady Hua shook her head. "Zi Lan doesn't have another species. Even if it does, it's very likely that it's in the mountains inland. That's a forbidden area for humans."
"Then what should we do? Wait another hundred years?"
Lady Hua sighed. "Zi Lan's lifespan can only be extended when it bears fruit. If it doesn't bear fruit, its lifespan will gradually burn out."
Luo Kai couldn't help but feel sympathy. If it were an ordinary plant, he wouldn't care. However, it was different for a plant with wisdom. He thought for a moment and asked, "Granny, you must have a way."
Lady Hua looked at him deeply and said softly, "The way is to pass it on. My master passed on Zi Lan to me. Now, I must pass on Zi Lan to someone else. This isn't just a traditional inheritance. It's a life inheritance."
Luo Kai realized something from Lady Hua's gaze. He pointed at himself in surprise. "Granny, what do you mean?"
"That's right. You're the person I'm looking for."
Luo Kai rubbed his hands. This was really a little strange. He pointed at Yang Qing who was eavesdropping at the door. "Qing is your granddaughter. Can't you pass it on to her?"
Lady Hua turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes were filled with love. "Alone Yin and Yang cannot grow. If Zi Lan wants to bear fruit, Yin and Yang must complement each other. Qing can't do it alone."
Luo Kai scratched his head. Why did it sound like he was speaking in riddles with this old granny? He said, "Granny, just tell me what you need me to do. It's the same to me whether it's saving a life or saving a flower."
Lady Hua smiled. "I like it. In the future, help me take good care of Qing. This girl's background is pitiful. Her parents weren't by her side when she was young."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Qing rushed out and said loudly, "Granny, what are you doing? Who … who asked this bad guy to take care of her?"
Luo Kai was completely confused. What was going on? They were just talking about how to save the flower, and now the topic was about Yang Qing. He hurriedly waved his hand. "Granny, Yang Qing is already an adult. She has the right to pursue her own happiness. I … I'm used to being undisciplined. I'm not suitable for this. Moreover, I promised you to save the flower."
This time, Yang Qing was even more annoyed. She was born beautiful and had always been the moon surrounded by stars. Listening to his words, she, a pure and innocent girl, was giving her to him and he didn't want her. She was ashamed and angry. Her eyes turned red. She stared at Luo Kai with hatred. "Who wants you to take care of her? Leave. My family doesn't welcome you." She stepped forward and tried to shove Luo Kai out.
Luo Kai had long wanted to escape, so he took advantage of the force to walk out.
Lady Hua didn't persuade him. She followed him to the small courtyard. She asked Luo Kai's back a strange question. "Young man, do you believe in fate?"
Luo Kai had already reached the gate of the courtyard. At this time, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he couldn't help but look back.
Lady Hua walked over slowly and said to Yang Qing, "Qing, you go back to the house."
Qing glared at Luo Kai fiercely, then turned and went back to the house.
Lady Hua walked to Luo Kai and whispered in his ear, "Don't you realize that Zi Lan is Qing, and Qing is Zi Lan?"
Luo Kai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He said in shock, "Granny, what do you mean?"
Lady Hua looked at the sky with her turbid eyes and sighed. "Qing was injected with Zi Lan's genes when she was born. At the same time, Zi Lan also has Qing's genes. This is the inheritance I'm talking about. According to recent theories, they are twins, or in other words, genetic entanglement. Any psychological change in one will be reflected on the other. Zi Lan had a good impression of you from the beginning, and now she likes you so much. This means that deep down, Qing also likes you very much."
Luo Kai hadn't recovered from his shock when he was shocked by Lady Hua's next words.
"And the only way to make Zi Lan happy is for you and Qing to be together!"
"Granny, I can't. I really can't. Bye-bye."
Luo Kai stuttered and turned to run. He was so frightened that his heart beat faster and he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Lady Hua looked at Luo Kai's fleeing figure and a smile appeared on her wrinkled old face. She was very confident in her granddaughter's appearance. She didn't believe that there was a man in the world who could resist such temptation. Luo Kai's initial rejection made her like this grandson-in-law even more.
