Under everyone's careful care, Ah Shu's body quickly returned to its previous state. It didn't take long for him to continue to help me with the affairs of the teahouse. So I started to be a shopkeeper again, sitting in my little chair and dangling every day, drinking tea while reading books or watching TV dramas.
The days of my life began to become dull, and although it was a little boring, I was very satisfied to see them all alive and round around me.
Although Bong Hyo and Ah Pu still show their affection in front of us without scruples, even though at this time, the single Lige always shouts loudly that he wants to find a girlfriend.
Everything seemed to come to an end, as if it was halftime for a stage play. But I haven't forgotten Ah Ye's sacrifice, so I found an opportunity to tell him the causes and consequences of Ah Shu's recovery. When Ah Shu knew that he was able to wake up because Ah Ye sacrificed himself, he asked me to let him plant a tea tree in the backyard of the teahouse as a way to express his gratitude to Ah Ye.
I understand Ah Shu's feelings very well, because the epiphany that bloomed for the sake of helplessness is still placed in my room and has remained open. So in order to support his decision, I deliberately made a corner for him in the backyard. It's just that to my surprise, Ah Shu didn't transplant a new sapling, but directly broke a branch from his own body and planted it there.
He told me that because Ah Ye was not like Naihe, she was now a part of his body, and he couldn't separate her, so he would create a new body for her.
I know that Ah Shu thinks that there is not only his bloodline in that branch, but also the essence of Ah Ye, so as long as he raises it, Ah Ye will always be able to come back one day. He told me that if ten years could wait for Ah Ye to come back, he would wait ten years. If ten years is not enough, he can wait for a hundred years, a thousand years, anyway, he has a much longer lifespan than mortals, he is not afraid to wait, he can wait as long as he wants.
I've always admired Ah Shu's patience, but some ideas don't come to fruition with patience. I watched Ah Shu seriously water the tea tree every day, looking forward to its growth every day, and I couldn't bear to tell him that no matter what he did, he would never see Ah Ye again.
That essence could only stabilize Ah Ye's magic foundation, and there was no way to condense her soul. Ah Ye's soul has already been scattered, as long as his soul is scattered, whether it is a human or a demon, it means that he will not enter the path of reincarnation again. In other words, he has completely disappeared between heaven and earth, and will not be reincarnated or reborn. Even if Ah Shu really raises a tea tree demon in the end, it is also a new life form, and it has nothing to do with Ah Shu.
I tried to tell Ah Shu about this fact several times, but in the end I endured it. Later, I discussed with them for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion - to keep silent.
Ah Shu's character has always been stubborn and stubborn, and if he doesn't see the result, no matter how much we say, he won't believe it. Or maybe he already knew the result, but he didn't want to accept Ah Ye's help just like that, and he had no other way to repay her for saving her life.
Years ago, I rescued Ah Shu from the hands of those demons so that he would no longer be abused. In order to repay the favor, he has always been by my side to take care of me and help me, and he has never complained for thousands of years, even if he wants to give his life for me, he will not hesitate at all. Now that Ah Ye has woken him up, it is equivalent to saving his life again, and he can't do nothing just because she is gone.
Besides, if he accepted her gift with peace of mind, then he would not be my Ah Shu.
