Epilogue

'Whatever I plant dies.' While taking care

of the vegetable garden, he could not help but mutter to himself incessantly.

The task of uprooting all the rotten plants took up the entirety of the

morning.

”Tang Shan, it's time to eat. Stop for

a while and continue after you've eaten,” Li Yuanyu walked out the door, calling

out towards Tang Shan.

”Alright, be right there.” Tang

Shan tidied up the tools quickly, removed his gloves and returned to the house.

Li Yuanyu's slender body leant against the door as he

watched Tang Shan go about his business. He waited till Tang Shan ambled over

to his side before drawing close to give Tang Shan a peck on the cheek.

Tang

Shan chuckled, not knowing what was going on in Li Yuanyu's mind yet again,

”What are you doing?”

”I'm

kissing you. I love you, Tang Shan,” Li Yuanyu answered truthfully,

helping him open the door.

”How

annoying can you get? I've gotten tired of all your honeyed words.” Tang

Shan entered and headed off to wash his hands, while Li Yuanyu was like a

shadow trailing behind him.

”But

I really love you.” Li Yuanyu looked troubled.

”Yes,

yes, I know you can't hold back your desires to display your love,” Tang

Shan spoke nonchalantly, heading over to the dining table in the kitchen, where

Li Yuanyu darted to pull the chair for him. Tang Shan couldn't hold back his

laughter at that. Even though they were already officially dating, Li Yuanyu

was still the same as always, constantly trying different ways to please him.

”You

really don't have to do this,” Tang Shan had attempted at persuading Li

Yuanyu hundreds of times but eventually yielded and gave up on halting the

displays of tenderness and thoughtfulness from Li Yuanyu.

Tang

Shan sat in the chair Li Yuanyu had pulled out for him as if it was the most

natural thing to do, and surveyed the dishes on the table. They were all his

favourite foods. Once Li Yuanyu, too, had taken a seat, they began their meal.

”I'm

going to the market to buy some new seeds. Are you going with me?”

”Of

course.”

That was

expected. Tang Shan beamed at him.

The two

of them engaged in small talk, discussing the terrible weather, the plants that

just could not survive, and whatever had been happening in the town lately.

After

the meal, they took a stroll to the market together, with Tang Shan wanting to

purchase some seeds and Li Yuanyu, some ingredients. The weather was great that

day, and neither of them had brought umbrellas.

Once

they arrived, they were met with an enthusiastic welcome from the residents. People

would occasionally come over to greet them. The stream of gifts from the stall

keepers had Tang Shan feeling fl.u.s.tered.

On the

way back, the two of them carried so many bags, to the point that the

patrolling officers that they pa.s.sed by took the initiative and offered their
