Chapter 21


    The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was always so unpleasant, no matter how many times Tian Yin had been there, she could never get used to it.


    Especially outside the emergency room, it was always filled with the anxiety and panic of the family members, along with all kinds of prayers to gods and Buddha.


    However, whether she liked it or not, in her seventeen years of life, more precisely, in the short span of thest three years, this was already the fourth time she was standing outside the hospital’s emergency room waiting for results.


    The day when her parents went to visit the mountainous area and both encountered a mudslide;


    The day when the idea of adopting her was truly proposed, and her foster mother, who treated her like her own daughter, passed away;


    The day of the car ident not long ago;


    And then there was today…


    After returning from the police station, she did not hide anything from the two old people andid out all the things for the first time.


    She could certainly disguise herself as an innocent person, she was confident that the two old people would believe her, and then, they would treat the enemy who killed their son as a loved one–then, she would be a person like her foster father who deceived everyone with the skin of a good father and a good teacher.Therefore, Tian Yin chose to be honest about her conversation with Li Fufeng, allowing the two old people to judge for themselves.


    Although she did not admit anything detrimental to herself in front of Li Fufeng, the hidden meaning in her words was very obvious.


    When she chose to calmly repeat it in front of the two old people, instead ofining to them about Li Fufeng’s nder and telling her own grievances, the answer became even more obvious.


    After a bout of irrational reprimand, Mrs. Gu fell first, and Mr. Gu followed closely behind.


    So, Tian Yin appeared at the entrance of the emergency room for the fourth time.


    She paced back and forth in the corridor, her eyebrows furrowed.


    The atmosphere in the hospital was always gloomy, the smell of despair mixed with the smell of disinfectant permeated the corridor, someone covered with a white cloth was pushed past from the side, suddenly there was a loud cry, and the surroundings became noisy all at once.


    In the midst of chaos, Tian Yin suddenly walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open a window, as if she could vent out the heavy air umted in her chest.


    The sky outside the window was gloomy, and the damp rain mixed with the smell of earthy musk drifted in, suddenly assaulting her.


    A nurse appeared behind her with good news. “The patient’s condition has improved and has been transferred to the general ward 307, family members can visit at any time.”


    Tian Yin let out a sigh of relief, and under the guidance of the nurse, she arrived at the ward, but suddenly stopped.


    Her feet seemed to be glued to the ground, standing still.


    ——She didn’t know if she should go in.


    The person lying inside was her benefactor, but she was their enemy, perhaps they didn’t want to see her?


    Tian Yin’s gaze drifted back to the window.


    The rain was getting heavier, the visibility through the rain-blurred ss window was extremely low, making the buildings outside and the hurried passers-by be blurred, the whole world seemed to be soaked in water.


    Just then, she suddenly noticed that a flower shop had appeared across from the hospital.


    The decoration style of the shop was very ordinary, simr flower shops could be found in Yuanyang City at least a dozen times.


    Perhaps the only thing that set it apart was that this shop had no name, the ce where the sign should be was filled with clusters of fresh flowers.


    But Tian Yin’s gaze was inexplicably attracted.


    At some moment, a strong thought arose in her heart.


    <i>……Should I go take a look?</i>


    <i>……Perhaps, visiting a patient requires bringing a bouquet of fresh flowers?</i>


    Not knowing whether it was an excuse to dy time to avoid visiting the sick, or from the inexplicable attraction she felt in her heart, Tian Yin unconsciously walked out.


    The not-sorge flower shop stood in the rain, and when she got closer, it seemed even more ordinary. Tian Yin tried to recall, she didn’t seem to see this flower shop on the way to the hospital? It seemed to have popped up suddenly.


    <i>However, such an ordinary shop front, being subconsciously ignored seemed to be a matter of course?</i>


    With this thought in mind, she pushed open the ss door.


    The ceiling, the walls, the area around the floor, were all covered with fresh flowers, all kinds of flowers seemed toe alive, all stretching their bodies in one direction.


    At this moment, Tian Yin felt like she had stepped into a kingdom of flowers.


    A person was standing in the sea of flowers with his back to her, holding a small watering can and watering an unknown flower.


    Hearing the noise, he turned his head and showed a smile.


    “Wee, fortunate guest.”


    “——What can I do for you?”


    Tian Yin’s heart suddenly calmed down.


    All the previous anxiety, unease, worry, and trouble seemed to dissipate at the moment she saw this smile.


    The young shop owner had the same characteristics as this shop front.


    His appearance was ordinary, simr to any passerby on the street, but his smile had a kind of inexplicable affinity.


    It made people almost subconsciously let down all their defenses and anxieties, as if they had met an old friend they had known for many years, and had a desire to pour out all their troubles to him.


    His extremely affable smile seemed to tell every customer who came in that he was very willing to share their hearts with them.


    Tian Yinposed herself. “Excuse me, do you have flowers suitable for visiting the sick? I might be going to visit two patients who may not wee me, but I sincerely wish them to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.”


    “Is this the deepest wish in your heart, dear guest?”


    “……What wish?” Tian Yin was taken aback.


    “Yes. Every fortunate guest whoes here has a wish that has never been spoken. I believe that every flower is a special friend, a sincere wish will cultivate the most beautiful flower, giving hope and blessings to the guest.”


    The unknown shopkeeper gave a slight smile. His soft xen hair draped over his eyelids, and those eyes that belonged to a young man seemed to have the gentleness and tolerance of an elder.


    It made anyone involuntarily believe what he said.


    Tian Yin blurted out without realizing it. “I want to meet someone, I want to thank him in person, I also want…to be a person like him, to dissolve more people’s misfortunes.”


    As soon as the words came out, she was taken aback.


    ……Even she hadn’t realized that such a thought had been hidden deep in her heart all along?


    The shopkeeper also seemed to be taken aback, a moment of surprise shed in his eyes. But it was only a moment, and he regained hisposure.


    He turned around and took out a small ss bottle, at the bottom of whichy a seed that looked quite ordinary, and handed it to Tian Yin.


    Then, there was a card with instructions on how to cultivate the flower. On the exquisite card were only a few short lines of small print.


    <i>[Sunflower seeds cultivated by the flowernguage speaker themselves.]</i>


    <i>[Required fertilizer: enough devotion, sincere desire, determination at all costs, courage to take action.]</i>


    <i>[Other: Bury it in the soil and water it.]</i>


    <i>[Note: This is a blessing for the brave.]</i>


    Tian Yin took the ss bottle.


    Although she felt that what was written on the card was unreliable, a mysterious seed speaking in riddles, it was like a simple and crude scam; but she inexplicably found it interesting, just like some temples would sell meaningless peace charms, often just to give people peace of mind. Perhaps this was the unique creativity of this flower shop?


    It must be said that in this short moment, the troubles that had originally settled in her heart had been swept away, and Tian Yin felt a sense of relief, as if she had really received some kind of blessing.


    She asked for the price. “May I ask what the price is?”


    Just for the shopkeeper’s ability to soothe people’s hearts, as long as it wasn’t too expensive, she was willing to pay for this “blessing”.


    “You have already paid enough.”


    The shopkeeper raised his finger and shook it, his smile somewhat mysterious.


    His palm stroked a branch of flowers hanging down from the ceiling, his body slightly leaning forward, and he took a light sniff.


    The deep red flower suddenly bloomed even more passionately.


    “——Your sadness and troubles are the best fertilizer for these flowers.”


    “——I wish you get what you wish for.”


    ****


    Until she walked out of the flower shop, Tian Yin was still a bit dazed.


    Today’s episode made her doubt whether she had met a weird person who spoke in riddles, but she inexplicably believed what the other person said. This trust was simply unfounded.


    “Did I get what I wished for…” She murmured, looked at the beautiful ss bottle in her palm, and couldn’t help but look back.


    She suddenly widened her eyes.


    “——It’s gone?”


    All she could see was clearly an old hardware store, someone was welding, the sparks flying made people dizzy, where was the shadow of that flower shop?


    Tian Yin stood in ce for a good while, subconsciously put the ss bottle into her pocket, and then walked towards the hospital in a daze.


    She had rushed out too hastily earlier without bringing an umbre, and now the pouring rain hadpletely soaked her. Under the heavy night sky, vehicles wereing and going, andte-returning pedestrians hurried past.


    Tian Yin almost bumped into someone in her daze, but luckily the other person stepped aside in time and passed by her.


    She quickly turned around, about to apologize.


    But she saw that the person was hurrying along, in the blurred vision of the heavy rain, his ck clothes and ck umbre blended into the night, only a strand of light golden hair was gently fluttering under the umbre.


    <i>[Flower Language Speaker★☆]</i>


    <i>[Seemingly ordinary flower shop owner]</i>


    <i>[Unfortunate person, I listen to your heart’s voice ande]</i>


    <i>[What is your wish?]</i>


    In the distant old city area, a hand gently flipped, and a card that turned from virtual to real in his palm was put away.


    “Ah, what a surprise. Just routinely collecting legend degrees, and I actually found an acquaintance?”


    He withdrew the [Flower Language Speaker], and began to control the [Ghost in the Rainy Night] card he had just equipped, Bai Yi was quite surprised.


    When not ying games, he would asionally equip the [Flower Language Speaker] to brush up on legend degrees. Now there are already quite a few rumors about mysterious flower shops on the inte.


    Of course, there were also people who didn’t believe it andined about encountering a flower shop scammer and cleverly didn’t fall for it, but unfortunately, they couldn’t even find the shop address in the end, and theinants naturally got a good lesson from the relevant departments.


    Meeting Tian Yin this time was really a coincidence.


    What’s more coincidental was that Tian Yin’s wish was actually rted to him.


    His fingers were flexible, flipping the card quickly. Just like a student who didn’t listen carefully in ss and doodles with a pen.


    “Hmm, could this be called…I’m just greedy for your legend degree, but you’re actually greedy for me?”


    Bai Yi hummed a song, and finally came to a happy conclusion.


    “——Indeed, it’s worthy of me.”<hr>
