Chapter 1288 I beg you ……
[…… The dew in the garden in the early morning is still as heavy as usual, and I have to get up every morning and carefully clean the stone path in front of the house, otherwise the frost that has formed could easily make people slip.]
[Although this frost is nothing to us, but during these days of your absence, I have found a lively and lovely maid to accompany me in trimming the flowers and plants, her name is Ephilia, a beautiful name, isn’t it? When you come back and see her, you’ll surely like it too.]
[The green vine we planted with our own hands has grown to dozens of meters tall, it looks like a big blanket over the top of the eaves of our wooden house, it looks like an emerald in the sea of flowers, it’s beautiful.]
[Oh yes, I’ve built a small wooden platform in the garden with Ephilia, from now on you’ll be able to recite poems and sing songs amidst the sea of clustered flowers, it’ll be quite a wonderful image.]
[I haven’t heard you sing for a long, long time, when you come back, I want to see you wearing the most gorgeous gown, wearing the garland of flowers I made for you, standing in a sea of blooming goldbuds, and singing the poems you’ve written for me as a reunion gift ……]
[…… When are you coming back?]
”I’m back …… I’m back! Eden!”
Bracky hugged Scale Togu and ran like a madman across the wretched stone path to the log cabin that stood under the thunderclouds.
The surface of the decaying wooden house was covered with moss, and from afar, it looked like a dark green monster staggering over the ruins, and the cold wind poured into the half-hidden, dilapidated wooden door, emitting a low, whimpering sound.
Creak-!
Bracky, dressed in a gown, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the dilapidated wooden door with a toothsome sound.
One piece after another broken big hole, spread all over the roof of the wooden house, dim daylight through the heavy thunderclouds, as if a few gray beams of light sprinkled down within the dead silence of the wooden house, a tattered green satin was stuck in the roof of the uneven cracks, along with the whimpering cold wind wildly dance.
Blakey stared blankly at the image in front of him, and stiffly raised a foot, but nearly stepped on a large hole in the ground.
The wooden house that had been left untended for a hundred years had long since decayed, and even as Bragi walked on it with the lightest of footsteps, it constantly creaked and groaned.
”Eden …… Eden!” Blakey’s dry, cracked lips flicked open and he cried out in a small voice, as if afraid of disturbing someone, “Where are you …… Eden?”
He kept pushing open the old wooden door, approaching room after room, nothing more than dust and moss covered furniture ever registering in Blakey’s eyes.
After searching nearly every room, Bragi slowly moved to the last bedroom door.
He reached out a trembling hand and pressed it against the cracked wooden surface of the door ……
”Blakey!”
An anxious voice came from behind, and Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan, landed from the sky outside the wooden house door.
Lin Qiye was first stunned when he saw Braki, who was standing alone and dressed up inside the dilapidated wooden house, then spoke again, “Braki ……”
Creak-!
The last wooden door in front of Bragi slowly opened.
Amidst the endless gray and white, a bright golden color appeared in front of his eyes.
Bragi’s pupils contracted slightly.
The piercing cold wind passed through the large hole in the wall and whimpered as it rolled into the bedroom, and on the moss-strewn wooden floor, brilliant golden golden bud flowers were blooming, swaying in the ragged cold wind.
A few petals were swept up by the wind and gently drifted down on Bracky’s cheeks, like a delicate palm lightly brushing away the two lines of hot, rolling tears.
”Eden ……” Blakey stood in front of this room of gold bud flowers, like a lightning strike.
I don’t know how long it took, but he finally returned to his senses and turned back violently, those reddened eyes staring deathly at Lin Qiye behind him:
”Where is my wife Eden …… Where is she? Why has this place become like this …… This is not the same as what she said in her letter …… This is not the same ah Lin Qiye!!!”
As if he had gone crazy, he ran to Lin Qiye in a burst of ear-piercing creaks, grabbing his shoulders with both hands and shaking them vigorously:
”Obviously I wrote a letter with her yesterday …… Why has this place become like this today?
Where is she?
My wife Eden, where is she? You must know right?
Lin Qiye …… Dean Lin! Dean Lin …… I beg you! I really beg you …… you tell me! Where is my wife?!”
Bragi’s roar was gradually covered by sobs, and in the end, his eyes were filled with pain and supplication as he looked at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye’s expression was incredibly complicated as he silently looked at this agonized expression on Bragi’s face for a long time before he hoarsely spoke:
”Bragi, there are some things that I’ve been trying to find the right opportunity to tell you ……”
In the dead silence of the dilapidated wooden house, Lin Qiye told the truth about Eden, little by little, and Bragi’s expression first changed from dismay, to disbelief, and then he froze in place like a statue.
He stood in front of a room full of goldbud flowers, dully lowering his head, one palm raised and gently placed on the right side of his chest.
”She …… she’s dead?” Blakey murmured mechanically, “She gave me her heart …… and died herself?”
”She didn’t die, her heart inside you is still beating, her soul, still with you.” Lin Qiye said seriously.
”No …… no way, this is impossible!” Bragi violently took two steps backward, widened his bloodshot eyes, and shouted, “It’s impossible for her to be dead …… She clearly said that even if she divided it up among the other gods, there are still two Fruits of Youth left! The two of us have one each, why would she give me her heart!”
”The mists are more terrifying than you think …… One fruit won’t save your life.”
Bragi stood frozen in place.
His lips kept trembling, his eyes were full of struggle, and he clasped his head with his hands in pain, flinging them around with great effort, as if he wanted to get rid of something.
”No …… it’s all a lie …… it’s all a lie!
This isn’t even our garden! Eden she’s still at home waiting for me to get back …… I know, it’s a dream …… This must be a dream!
Haha, I told you, how could I have gotten out of the hospital so quickly …… My dream hasn’t woken up yet! When I wake up from my sleep, I must still be in my hospital room ……
After I wake up from my sleep, I’ll be sure to take my medication on time and rest as the Dean instructed …… When I get better, I’ll be able to actually get out of the sickbay, and I’ll be reunited with Eden! It has to be!”
As Bragi spoke, he suddenly laughed out loud, pulled his leg up and swept past Lin Qiye, rushing towards the outside of the cabin!
”Bragi!” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he turned around and chased after him.
Bragi’s figure had just rushed out of the wooden house when he stopped in place.
Only to see that at the end of the broken and deserted garden, three figures were heading towards this place, walking swiftly.
