"You've been staring at your phone for more than an hour, aren't you tired of staring?" Su Mu was lazily half lying on the sofa as usual.

"Hmph, I don't believe she won't call."

Xu Nanxing squatted in front of the coffee table with his hands on his chin, staring at the mobile phone in front of him.

Yes, that's right, he was waiting for Gao Qingzhu to call at the moment, but it had been almost a day, and there was still no response.

"Isn't it common for young couples to quarrel with each other? Isn't it okay to admit your mistake? Su Mu took a sip of tea.

Xu Nanxing glanced at Su Mu and asked him to admit his mistake, it was impossible, so he only heard him say angrily: "Where did I make a mistake?" Eh, Sumu, you said she wouldn't be really angry, would she? I was impulsive yesterday for her sake, you see it's getting dark, she doesn't really want to break up with me, right? ”

"Don't ask me about this matter between men and women, let me guess the thoughts of women, I really don't know about living for so long, but ......"

"But what?"

"What you said is really hurtful, not to mention that she is a girl, so she is always uncomfortable." Su Mu admonished, "I still advise you not to toss around, if you really her off, it is estimated that it will be difficult to chase her back." ”

"Cut, you just said you don't understand women's minds." Xu Nanxing glanced at him, then picked up his mobile phone and looked at Gao Qingzhu's number.

Qingzhu, Qingzhu, please call quickly.

Seeing Xu Nanxing staring at the phone, Su Mu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Young man, since the other party is a good girl, then you have to cherish it, don't regret it until you lose it." ”

"This sounds a little familiar, have you watched too many TV series?" Xu Nanxing glanced at him, "But listening to you, what have you experienced?" ”

After thinking about it, Su Mu is more than 3,000 years old, and he must have experienced more personal accidents than himself, so he naturally has some right to speak.

But since he met him, he never seemed to be close to a woman.

Xu Nanxing guessed that he was either too single-minded or only liked men.

"What are you staring at me like that? Don't wait for a call? Su Mu's eyes were closed, and he opened his eyelids slightly and glanced at Xu Nanxing.

"Then you used to ...... Ever loved someone? Xu Nanxing stepped forward and asked about Su Mu's emotional history, such an old bark, he was really a little curious about his past emotional experience.

Asked like this, Su Mu's closed eyes slowly opened, and he looked at the roof of the pavilion for a while.

After a while, he spoke: "Love is not counted, but I regard him as very important and a friend I cherish." ”

"Friends? Male or female? ”

"Male." Su Mu responded lightly.

Xu Nanxing seemed to have grabbed some handle from him, and smiled slyly: "Oh~ Man, aren't you ......?" ”

"Isn't it?" Su Mu smiled sideways, "It was he who planted me, he is more like my benefactor than a friend, it was he who brought me back to this world when I was dying, so I am very grateful to him, but it's a pity that he is a human and can't always accompany me, so many years, he has long been turned into dust." ”

Being more and more sad by what he said, Xu Nanxing frowned, but he was even more curious about Su Mu's story.

Su Mu saw that the other party cast a puzzled look, so he drank the last sip of tea in the pot, and said in a free and easy tone: "It's okay to talk to you." ”

The two have been working together at Linhai Station for a long time, and it is the first time they have talked about Su Mu's past.

Xu Nanxing sat upright and listened patiently.

……

More than 1,000 years ago, at noon on a sunny day, the sun was not so strong, on the contrary, it was somewhat soft.

The chirping of birds echoes in the ears, and the wind blows, bringing a faint scent of grass.

A blue-eyed boy with blond hair planted a small tree and planted the first green plant on the empty lawn.

He carefully buried the roots of the tree, covered it with light hands and feet, and finally sprinkled it with water.

"That's it! Finish! The blonde boy clapped his palms, got up and wiped the mud off his feet, and finally finished his "work".

The tree he planted called the purple shirt was a flower shop owned by Uncle Ben's daughter, whose name was Susan, and she was a girl who loved flowers, and when she told her that the yew tree could grow very tall, he gave it to the boy as a birthday present.

The boy was Evans Turner, the son of Peters, a carpenter, and his family was poor, and every year his mother would make him a simple cake with some flour, but the gift was a luxury for him.

And this year, Susan's gift of the yew tree to him was an unexpected surprise.

For this reason, he cherished this gift very much, and hoped that it would grow up soon.

"Evans! Time to eat! In the distance, from the wooden house, the voice of her mother, Ava, was standing in front of the kitchen window waving to him.

When it was time for lunch, the smell of rice wafted into the nostrils.

Evans sniffed, as if he had been captured by food, eager to fill his stomach as quickly as possible.

So, with brisk steps, he ran home.

It's just that the young Evans didn't know that there was a pair of eyes behind him silently watching him......

At this time, Evans was only thirteen years old, and he was still a child who had not grown up.

……

Three years later, when he was sixteen, Evans had learned his father's good trades and was an adult who could help the family share the pressure.

To do this, he became more responsible, and the yew trees thrived under his care.

On this day, Evans was lying under a tree thinking about things.

The family's daily expenses, the wages he earned for his father, and the rent for the shop......

Alas! The more I think about it, the more troublesome it becomes, Evans doesn't understand, why do people always have to live for money?

He scratched his short golden hair in anguish, and his face was full of sadness.

"What's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, a young man's voice came to his ears, clear and calm with a hint of laziness.

Evans was startled and bounced straight off the ground, he looked around vigilantly, but there was no figure in sight, except for the yew tree the size of a house behind him.

"Who?" He asked aloud.

However, no one responded.

Did you hear it wrong?

As if to make sure again, Evans circled the thick trunk again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no one.

"Are you looking for me?"

When Evans relaxed, he heard the nearby young voice sound again, which frightened him, he had never encountered such a strange thing.

He even thought he had seen a ghost.

I was about to run back and tell my mother, but I didn't expect that my foot had just taken half a step before I felt a lot of force restraining me.

I felt that the scene in front of me was all turned upside down, and when I came back to my senses, Evans realized that he was hanging on a tree branch, his feet were bound by branches, and the whole person was in an upside-down state, and his head was very congested and dizzy.

"Let go, let go of me! Who is a prank! Come out! With difficulty, he squeezed a word out of his throat, waving his hands and feet wildly, trying to break the branch that had held him.

But no matter how big his movements were, the soft branches were like a thick hemp rope, and he couldn't break free.

"It's me." The crisp juvenile voice sounded again, and this time, it was on the side!

Evans snapped his gaze to the left, and a young man who looked slightly older than him appeared in his sight, looking slender and wearing a clean white shirt.

Everything looks very ordinary, but the hair color of this strange boy is really strange, and the ends of his black hair are elegant green, which is unusual.

Evans had seen blonde, white, brown, black, and even red hair before, but this was the first time he had seen hair of this color.

After only being puzzled for a while, he quickly got up and patted the dust off his body, pointed to the young man's nose and said angrily, "Did you do it just now?" Why scare me?! ”

The young man with his strange hair on his head showed a calm face, and explained in a hurry: "If you don't run, I won't catch you." ”

Evans looked him up and down a few times, he didn't look like a bad guy, but his behavior just now was too rude, if he accidentally fell off the tree, this would be the end of the game if he broke his neck.

Thinking back to the scene just now, I'm still a little scared......

Evans shuddered, and took a few steps back vigilantly, ready to run at any moment's notice.

After all, the origin of the young man in front of him is unknown, and he still doesn't know what kind of person he is.

Seeing that he was attentive to himself, the young man with strange hair color said, "You don't have to be afraid, I just want to thank you for appearing." ”

"Thank me?" Evans was still backing away, "Did I help you?" ”

The young man smiled and pointed to the tall yew tree on the side: "You have helped me for many years of careful care." ”

"Years of ......" Evans looked at the yew tree and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, you don't want to say, you're this yew tree, right?" No kidding, I think you're crazy, right? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, in order to confirm his identity, the young man's slender arm was lightly raised, and the branches of the yew tree suddenly became longer and began to dance.

Looking, it's like a person with uncoordinated limbs dancing.

Seeing this strange scene, Evans staggered and fell to the ground, and sat on the grassy lawn.

He was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he crawled back at least ten meters in a row, and finally gave up running when the branch grabbed his ankle.

"You, what kind of monster are you! No, devil! It's the devil! Evans yelled.

"Shh The boy crouched down in a silent gesture, but actually cast a spell on Evans that prevented him from speaking.

So after he finally quieted down, the boy began to introduce himself solemnly.

"I'm not a devil, my name is Su Mu, I am a monster who has lived for nearly two thousand years, when you planted me a few years ago, I was seriously injured at that time, and I could only turn back into the appearance of a sapling and slowly recover, it was your care in the past three years that brought me back to life."

"Hmm! Hmmm! Evans was already shocked after listening to the other party's explanation, and his eyes showed even more fear, at this moment he had no way to speak, so he could only desperately "shout" with his mouth closed.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Because in the eyes of her mother Ava, who was drying clothes in the distance, there was only Evans alone; And Su Mu, she can't see it.

After confirming that the other party had listened to his explanation, Su Mu snapped his fingers and untied the spell that had been applied to Evans.

"Now, can you trust me?" He asked.

"Believe ......," Evans got up, "believe you, a ghost!" ”

With that, without leaving a trace of mercy, he fled.

Su Mu didn't chase him, because he knew that in the eyes of humans, he was always an outlier.
