The Runaway Princess: The Story of the Moon

Chapter 134 Sunflower's Lonely Love

"Yunxuan, it's so boring to write poems all the time. How about I tell you a story. Do you know the legend of the sunflower?"

"The legend of the sunflower? This is new. I've never heard of it. How come there is a legend about this flower?"

"Of course. But let me declare first that I also heard this story from others, so if you find it strange, you can't blame me." I still have to vaccinate Yunxuan first, after all, I want to The legend told him was about the water goddess Clitai and the sun god Apollo.In this time and space where Buddhism and Taoism are believed, there is no Roman mythology or Greek mythology at all.

"I see." Yun Xuan was obviously very interested in the legend of the sunflower. 
"Actually, this is not a happy story. A long time ago, there was a water fairy, Curly Tai, who one day met Apollo, the sun god who was hunting in the forest. She was obsessed with Apollo's beauty and strength, and fell in love with him madly. However, Apollo is a proud and noble sun god, and he left without even looking at Curly. From then on, Curly has hoped every day, eagerly looking forward to the day when she can talk to Apollo, However, her status was low, and since then, she has never met him again. Therefore, she can only look up at the sky every day, watching Apollo drive across the sky in a resplendent and resplendent sun chariot. Curly stared at Apollo intently. Every day, she just sat there like this, ignoring her disheveled hair and her complexion getting more and more haggard. When the sun rose, she looked at the sun. The gods were moved by her affection Moved and pitied her for her elusive and hopeless love, so she was turned into a big golden sunflower. Her face became a flower plate, always facing the sun, following Apollo every day, her gaze Follow him and tell him about your eternal love." (This story is taken from Baidu Encyclopedia Sunflower, slightly adapted)
"Why is Apollo unwilling to accept the water goddess?" 
"Because Apollo, the sun god, loved Artemis, the moon goddess."

"At first I thought that sunflowers represented the sun, symbolizing light, vigor and prosperity, but now listening to you say that, it made me feel its bravery, not being afraid of difficulties, never giving up, and daring to pursue happiness. Although she didn't To get Apollo's love, but she can still watch him and be with him forever, this may be another kind of happiness for Curly."

"Yes." However, Curly Tai's persistence only set off her sadness.A person's love is doomed to be fruitless, and a lonely one-man show is doomed to be accompanied by hopelessness.
"Yueya, thank you." 
"no need thank me?" 
"Thank you for not making me another Curly."

"Yes, yes, you are not Curly, you are the head office of Artemis."

It turns out that worrying about gains and losses is a common problem for all people in love.No wonder people always say that people in love have zero IQ.No matter how good you are, once you fall in love, you cannot escape the curse of love.
