Chapter 122 The Acacia Tree
what is love?
If you cherish it, it will be the most precious thing in the world, a priceless treasure, worth everything you give.

If you don't value it, it will be worthless, and it will feel fake and boring, deceiving your efforts and expectations.

Its existence lies in the persistence of both lovers in love. It is a conceptual object and has no entity. It only truly exists in each other's hearts when both lovers have immense faith in it.

When either party no longer believes in it and no longer insists on it, it will gradually fade away. It is not possible to own it forever once you get it.

At this moment, Wang Xuan and Ling Chen could both clearly feel that love did exist, beating between their hearts like the sun, warming everything about them.

The joyful Lingchen still went into the bathroom and began to put on her makeup. Women dress up to please themselves, and she wanted to leave a better impression on Wang Xuan.

When she came out, Wang Xuan realized that Lingchen was glowing all over. Lingchen took his arm and said, "Let's go. We can't stay in the lab today. This is too boring."

On the first day of confession, everything about them was joyful. What they wanted most at this moment was to stay together and say sweet words.

It's childish and time-consuming, but for two hearts that want to get closer, it's really meaningful and a happy time.

"Summer is almost over. We have known each other for six or seven years. I still remember the first time I saw you. As a senior, you were really stunning. It was then that I realized that there were such beautiful women in the world."

Wang Xuan and Ling Chen walked to their alma mater. This long-established university was not crowded in the summer, and the students had not yet reported for school.

"Really? Why do I remember that you were so taciturn back then, like a little old man." Ling Chen giggled.

Wang Xuan stayed in this school for four years, and Ling Chen stayed there longer. After all, Ling Chen was a woman with a doctorate degree and was one or two years older than Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuanwu sighed: "Really, I was shocked to see you, but you saw me when I was lonely. I really want you to know how charming I was when I was arrogant and wanton."

Compared to the early morning, he was too bleak in the past. This was also the reason why he had never expressed his feelings.

Every woman hopes that her ideal man is a peerless hero who can come to marry her on a colorful cloud, and Wang Xuan also wants to appear in front of her as a peerless hero.

The two of them took photos in front of each landmark, because they didn't have such time during their time in school, and it was nice to make up for it now.

"You know what? A girl from your major had a crush on you and even asked me what to do.

I said, look at that Wang Xuan, he is stupid, has no money and no looks, how can he find a girlfriend? And you are so beautiful, if you ask him to go to the movies, he will definitely go there happily. " Ling Chen remembered many interesting things in school and told them to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan also thought of that girl: "She seemed to have asked me out, but I happened to be busy that day, so I declined."

"Yeah, you refused, and the girl was very sad." Ling Chen said. The girl has now joined a big company and is about to get married with her boyfriend.

"I was really quiet at the time. I didn't have the mood to fall in love, and I didn't know when I would die, so I didn't want to waste other people's youth."

Wang Xuan looked at Heze in the pond, jumped up, walked on the water, picked a lotus flower, turned around and walked back on the water.

With his lightness and strength, walking on the water is no different from walking on a steel plate. Things like floating on the water are already very easy for him.

"For you." Wang Xuan presented a lotus.

Ling Chen accepted it shyly and played with it in her hand: "It would be embarrassing if someone saw it."

An old man with an armband on his arm walked over from a distance and said expressionlessly: "You are not allowed to pick lotus flowers in the lotus pond. If you violate the rules once, you will be fined fifty yuan."

Wang Xuan then remembered that this old man was a well-known scoundrel in his college days because he always came out to spoil the fun and talk about the school rules and regulations, destroying the fun of couples.

After paying the fifty yuan fine obediently, the old man staggered away, looking for the next person to pick lotus flowers to show his courtesy to his girlfriend.

"Haha, you didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to you, did you? In the past, when someone was fined, they would always make a fuss about it in the circle of friends." Ling Chen chuckled.

Wang Xuan pinched her cheek and said, "I picked the lotus flowers just to give to you, right?"

They walked past the stadium, the library, the comprehensive hall, the teaching building, and then through the path where couples strolled, and came to a big tree.

This is a large banyan tree with a huge crown. It is really quite old. It seems to have existed before the school was built and it is still lush and green.

On the branches of the big banyan tree, there are red ribbons hanging one after another, reflecting a red glow, or like the tree is covered with red flowers, and the flowers are in bloom 365 days a year. These are all tied by lovers, who make beautiful wishes here one after another. "This acacia tree has witnessed countless love stories. I still remember that when young couples in the department were in love, they would make wishes here, praying for a happy love."

It’s just that some people keep moving on, while others can only come back to reminisce.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but think of the three guys in the dormitory. It seemed that they all said sweet words to female classmates under this tree, but two couples broke up and only one couple stayed together until the end.

Last year, I attended their wedding and gave a gift. The guy was all smiles. He had originally thought of getting married in a few years, but his girlfriend got pregnant, and abortion would hurt his health, so he decided to get married right away.

His child must have been born by now, and the family is enjoying the happiness of family life.

"Then let's make a wish here too!" Ling Chen said happily.

"Okay."

Wang Xuan walked to the pavilion at the corner of the wishing tree, where an old woman was dozing off. There were not many people in the school in the middle of summer, and even fewer people came to tie red ropes under the wishing tree.

"Old man, old man? Please help me get a red ribbon." Wang Xuan said.

The old woman woke up, looked at Wang Xuan's tall body, then looked at Ling Chen's relatively delicate body. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this was a combination of beauty and the beast.

But the probability of love continuing has a much higher chance of not being related to appearance.

"How many years will it be hung?" asked the old woman. There will be a metal plate on the red belt, which can be engraved with words and will be removed when the couple breaks up.

Similarly, there are too many red ribbons hanging on the wishing tree, and some of the faded ones are removed every few years. If the corresponding fees are paid, the management will regularly replace the red ribbons and hang the metal plate.

"How many years has the longest love card here been hanging?" Ling Chen walked over and couldn't help asking.

The old woman thought for a moment. After all, her memory was not good due to her age. Then she said, "About four hundred and thirty years. They are still alive."

A couple who could live for such a long time must be cultivators with extraordinary cultivation. If they are not earthly immortals, they must be at the Vajra realm. Moreover, as figures from the early mythological era, their current status is probably unimaginable.

No wonder the acacia tree has existed for so many years and is still here intact, without falling down despite wind and rain. It probably has a lot to do with the care of the couple.

"A hundred years, it means a happy marriage, and one hundred and twenty to thirty years is also the approximate lifespan of my current cultivation level.

If we can come back a hundred years later, we can continue for another hundred years, until the day we die of old age." Ling Chen said solemnly.

"A hundred years? If you don't come back after a hundred years, your love cards will be buried under this acacia tree until it melts and returns to the earth." said the old woman.

It is free for the first ten years, but after ten years it will be cleaned up and buried in the soil. The longer it is retained, the more fees will be charged.

The two received love cards and personally engraved each other's names on them.

"Early morning."

"Wang Xuan."

"Two thousand five hundred and eighteen."

Wang Xuan’s power was very good, and he carved a sky full of stars on it, which set off the names of the two people and their simple portraits.

Taking the red ribbon, the two of them tied it to the branch with their own hands. The love cards swayed in the wind, and one love card after another collided, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Wang Xuan and Ling Chen looked at the acacia tree and made wishes silently.

"Let's go!"

Wang Xuan hugged Ling Chen and held her in a princess hug. The two of them left while talking and laughing. The crisp jingling sounds behind them seemed to be whispering one beautiful wish after another.
