Genshin Impact: I don’t have much time left, can we meet again?

Chapter 32 Stars are flowers blooming in the night sky
"I will continue to hide it from Keli." Mona nodded solemnly, and then said worriedly: "Poor little Keli lost her mother. I really can't imagine how sad and sad she will cry. . As Keli grows up, one day she will suspect that everyone is cheating on her."

"Conceal it as long as you can. This is also Ms. Alice's own wish. On the day she died, she entrusted Keli to Albedo and told him to wait until Keli grows up and has stronger psychological endurance. When the time comes, tell the truth.”

Albedo's master and mother, an alchemist known as "Gold", is one of the eight witches in the "Witches Coven" and has a very close relationship with Keli's mother Alice. To some extent, Abedo Bedo can be regarded as Keli's biological brother who is not related by blood.

Before Ms. Alice died, she handed Keli to Albedo, which undoubtedly showed her great trust in Albedo.

But in Mona's view, Ms. Alice has a better option. She rubbed her eyes and asked: "If Abedo takes care of Keli, Keli's safety will definitely be guaranteed. However, Alice Madam, you can also leave Keli to you. Little Keli has always liked you. She is your little fan."

Little Keli is loved by thousands of people. Apart from Master Fengshen, there are very few people that this little Loli can admire, and Mr. Su Luo is one of them.

Su Luo was immersed in the old days, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that day.

"That day, Ms. Alice's original intention was for me to be Keli's guardian. Later, she said that she changed her mind because she was afraid that Keli would drag me down because I was not married yet."

"So, Mr. Su Luo is not opposed to raising Keli?"

"Who would dislike Mondstadt's 'Little Sun'?"

While the two were talking, waves of fresh fragrance wafted from the flower shop. Su Luo's nose twitched and he said, "Miss Mona, you came just in time. I want to buy some flowers, please recommend them to me."

"I am very willing to serve Mr. Su Luo."

Astrology is an extremely boring subject, so Mona developed her second interest from an early age, growing flowers and grass.I dare not say that my understanding of flowers has reached an expert level, but it far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Surprisingly, her teacher had no objection to her hobby. Even though she skipped class many times to take care of the flowers on the windowsill, she was not severely punished afterwards.

The teacher once said that the stars are flowers blooming in the night sky.

At that time, she could not understand the beauty of the starry sky, but she only felt that the sentence itself was full of poetry.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized that what the teacher wanted to beautify was not the starry sky, but what he wanted to convey to her, the most important concept of an astrologer——

Only by living a simple and plain life can we gain insight into the nature of the world and get a glimpse of the truth of the world.

Playing with those flowers and plants is a manifestation of this concept.

Flora, the owner of the "Flower Language" shop, received the two of them very warmly.

Firstly, it's because Mona is a regular customer of the store, and secondly, it's still morning. Usually at this time, the store's business is relatively deserted, and there are only a few scattered customers in the sunny flower shop.

"Little junco, sweet flower, pinwheel flower, and Cecilia flower, which one does Miss Mona want?" Flora introduced the latest varieties bred in the flower shop.

Mona, who had just cried, was healed by the colorful flowers. She asked Su Luo for advice with a smile: "Mr. Su Luo, the little lamp grass will emit a faint fragrance on a moonlit night." The low light will make the bedroom warm.

"Sweet flowers, as the name suggests, can be made into a delicious dish."

Su Luo leaned on crutches and said "oh" calmly.

Mona realized that these two flowers did not meet Su Luo's expectations, and began to introduce the next one. "After the pinwheel chrysanthemum fully blooms, its four petals are like the windmills of Mondstadt, showing the enthusiasm and exuberance of life. There is a proverb in Mondstadt, 'Life is as gorgeous as a summer flower', which refers to the pinwheel chrysanthemum..."

"It would be great if Miss Mona could come to the store as a guide." Flora, the owner of the flower shop, cast an admiring look at Mona. There are many people who grow flowers in Mondstadt, but there are very few people who know about flowers. .

However, Mona suddenly stopped her voice, then her eyes dimmed and she muttered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su Luo."

It suddenly occurred to her just now that Su Luo was terminally ill and did not have much time left. Flowers with strong vitality could easily irritate him.

Su Luo smiled at her and said: "Windmill, I have an impression. Three years ago, when Traveler Kong, Paimon, I and I left Mondstadt, we passed by the crop fields near Dawn Winery and saw a large field covered with dew. Wet windmills.”

"Sora and Paimon were so fond of the scenery there that they took me to enjoy the flowers together. It wasn't until everyone's stomachs growled with hunger that they realized that most of the day had passed."

Mona Haha asked: "So, you forgot to go on your way to see the windmill chrysanthemums?"

"Well." Su Luo stared at the windmill chrysanthemums on the exhibition stand, "The original travel plan was affected, and the three of us had to return to Mondstadt and wait until the next day before setting off again."

Mona covered her mouth and chuckled.

The commander of the Seven Kingdoms Expeditionary Corps, Mondstadt's honorary knight Mr. Kong and Lord Paimon, such interesting things happened between the three of them.

"The Cecilia flower is a specialty of the Mondstadt region. It only grows on cold and windy mountains. This flower is worn on the head of Lord Fengshen, which symbolizes the true love of the prodigal son."

"It is said that the Canrians of the ancient country liked Cecilia flowers very much and built many wide and huge nurseries for this purpose. The area of ​​each nursery is larger than the vineyards of Chenxi Winery."

At this point in the introduction, Mona thought of her own experiences.

"Last month I went to the countryside to collect folk songs, and accidentally saw a tribe of Qiuqiu people dancing around Cecilia flowers. It seems that the legend should be true."

Su Luo got close to the Cecilia flower and smelled it. A fresh fragrance hit her, refreshing her heart and soul.

"Just want Cecilia flowers." Su Luo said to Flora again: "I don't want fresh ones. Are there any dried ones?"

"Yes. Last week, the spice shop in the west of the city ordered a large amount of dried Cecilia flowers. I kept some for myself and originally planned to give them to friends." Flora once again observed the sick man in front of her. Young man, "Are you an important customer of Mona? For her sake, I will sell you the ones I keep. However, the quantity is limited."

"Thank you, I want them all."

While Flora went to the warehouse to pick up the goods, Mona asked curiously: "Mr. Su Luo, why did you buy so many dried Cecilia flowers?"

Su Luo was silent for a few seconds, but still satisfied Mona's curiosity.

"It won't be long before...my skin starts to deteriorate."

"Dried Cecilia flowers can mask the smell of decay."
