Chapter 896 Mayfly and Epiphyllum

"Xiao Xiao, thank you."

"Thank you for helping me find the Epiphyllum."

"Thank you for staying with me until now."

Xiao Xiao was about to speak when suddenly, "Buzz buzz buzz~"

这 是
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The name jumping on the screen is Chi Xiuchuan.

The mayfly flew up from Xiao Xiao's hand and looked at the glowing phone with curiosity.

Xiao Xiao answered the phone.

"Master Xiao."

Chi Xiuchuan's voice was filled with obvious smiles, "We found the Epiphyllum."

……

"Where are you?"

Xiao Xiao asked directly.

……

"Master Xiao, I'm in the car."

"Where are you?"

……

"I'll be there soon."

……

Looking at the darkened phone, Xiao Xiao raised his head with a smile, "蜉-"

His voice paused.

He didn't even see the mayfly at first!

Startled, his pupils contracted, and then he saw the almost transparent mayfly.

The scenery behind the little monster is in full view.

"ephemera!"

……

Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky hastily.

The moon is almost at its zenith.

……

The moonlight is very good tonight.

The moonlight on summer nights is always beautiful, and you can hear the chirping of insects in your ears.

However, Xiao Xiao felt that the moonlight tonight was a little too bright.

Because, the mayflies under this kind of moonlight...are almost melting away.

……

"Mayfly, did you hear that?"

Xiao Xiao stared at the mayfly with his eyes as if they had fallen into Yuehui's eyes, "I found the Epiphyllum."

"Yeah, I heard it."

Mayfly narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The joyful aura emanating from his body made Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

But then, a shadow quickly came over his heart.

He kept smiling, but his arms around Jiu tightened a little.

……

The little white fox half opened its eyes and glanced at him lazily. Its rosy red eyes were so stunning in the night, yet they were slightly cold and hard, without a trace of warmth or softness.

But at this time, no one and no monster noticed it.

It made no sound and made no movement.

Soon it closed its eyes again.

……

"So, wait a little longer."

Xiao Xiao's tone could not help but become more serious, "Mayfly, wait a little longer, and you will be able to see the Epiphyllum."

……

"..."

Mayfly was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Well, I'll wait."

"I'm about to see the night-blooming cereus."

"how come……"

How can I be willing to leave like this?

only……

The mayfly looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

gorgeous.

But... it means that it has little time left and its life is about to come to an end.

How to do?
It was a little reluctant.

Even... a little scared.

……

"ephemera!"

Xiao Xiao's cry exploded in its ears.

The mayfly suddenly came to his senses.

It was somewhat puzzled by the anxiety and worry that Xiao Xiao showed in front of it for the first time.

Then he seemed to realize something and looked down at his... body? Feet?
Ah, it has no feet anymore.

It is really leaving.

The world in front of it suddenly became so blurry that it could not see clearly.

……

"ephemera!"

This voice...

Mayfly laughed, "Xiao Xiao."

……

"Mayfly, now!"

"The night-blooming cereus is coming soon!"

"So, hold on a little longer!"

"It will be fine in a moment!"

……

Mayfly tilted his head in some confusion.

It also wants to hold on a little longer.

However, the smile on its lips was slightly bitter. It wanted to, but was powerless.

"Xiao Xiao."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

“Because I’ve seen a lot.”

"The sun, the trees, the flowers, the cats, lots of humans, and what human society looks like."

“And birds.”

"I had only ever heard them."

“So this is what they look like.”

……

Xiao Xiao wanted to tell Mayfly to stop talking.

He wondered if there was any connection between the two?
However, the body of the mayfly became lighter and lighter as it spoke...

Not only were the feet gone, but part of the body was gone as well.

Moreover, the disappeared part of the body is still expanding.

Although slowly.

If this continues-
Mayflies are really about to disappear!

……

However, seeing Mayfly's excited look with shining eyes as he recalled the flower and tree he had mentioned, he could not say anything.

With a smile on his face, he listened carefully to Mayfly's chatter.

Moreover, the sound of the mayflies...is getting softer and softer.

He was afraid that if he wasn't paying attention, he would miss what Mayfly said.

……

"Om-"

As soon as the phone vibrated, Xiao Xiao dialed the number, "Where are you?"

Chi Xiuchuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and reported his location.

It’s already very close to Xiao Xiao.

Chi Xiuchuan called just to confirm the exact location of Master Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone directly.

"Mayfly, come here."

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take you to see Epiphyllum."

……

The mayfly lay in the palm of Xiao Xiao's hand.

Very light body.

There is always a feeling that it will disappear completely in the next second.

But, I feel at ease.

A slight bumpy feeling, and the human body temperature coming from Xiao Xiao's palm, with a slightly cool air in it.

The gas circulated in its body, and the blurry vision seemed to become clearer.

……

"Squeak~"

The sound of the car braking suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

"Master Xiao!"

Chi Xiuchuan leaned out of the car window.

"Where are the flowers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao saw the Epiphyllum placed on the passenger seat.

The night-blooming cereus has bloomed.

At first glance, it seems as white as snow, clear and flawless.

It's so beautiful that it doesn't get stained by dust.

……

"ephemera!"

He looked down and raised his palm forward, "Look, Epiphyllum."

But the next second, he was stunned.

His palm had become empty without him noticing the trace of the mayfly.

The drooping hair cast a shadow.

For a moment, Chi Xiuchuan couldn't see clearly what Master Xiao's expression was at the moment.

He opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

……

"Well, I see it."

The voice that suddenly sounded in Xiao Xiao's mind made him raise his head suddenly.

ephemera!

……

“Epiphyllum, it’s really beautiful.”

……

ephemera!

Xiao Xiao looked around, and finally saw a pair of vague eyes on the petals of the night-blooming cereus.

Very light gold.

……

"Thank you, Xiao Xiao."

"I am very happy."

“I’m really happy.”

"Goodbye, Xiao Xiao."

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the color that finally disappeared, his expression a little dazed.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

The petals of the night-blooming cereus began to close slowly.

Then, he lowered his head.

Only a faint fragrance remains in the air.

……

Chi Xiuchuan picked up the Epiphyllum on the passenger seat and said, "Master Xiao..."

"Thank you, Achuan."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's amazing that you can find Epiphyllum in such a short time."

　ps: Thank you Ruo Luoye for the reward (*︶*)!
