Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 265 New Life?

What could Yu Shijiu say? Of course, he happily nodded in agreement.

Taking a walk with the young lady by the flowerbed is a great opportunity to not only digest our food but also find clues and maybe even get the big scissors she's hiding... It's such a good deal!

The young lady was also very happy.

The smile on her pale face deepened, a stark contrast to her expressionless face the day before.

Do you enjoy taking walks?

After the two stepped out of the villa, the dazzling, warm sunlight shone on them, feeling comfortable and giving them a soft, relaxed feeling.

"It's okay."

Yu Shijiu was fairly comfortable with taking walks. He smiled as he gazed at the vibrant flowerbeds in the distance and murmured:

"Since I turned eighteen, I have found taking walks to be a very enjoyable thing."

Before this, he had never had the freedom to take a walk after meals to digest his food... That makes sense, he wasn't even sure he could eat his fill, so how could he have time to take a walk to digest his food?

The young lady naturally didn't know what Yu Shijiu was talking about. She still held the roses in her arms and nodded slightly.

"That's good. I was worried you wouldn't like it."

"how could be."

Yu Shijiu turned her head to look at her; her well-behaved face was somewhat dim in the backlight, but it couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

"Sister, don't overthink it."

Miss:"……"

The young lady lowered her head in a panic, feeling as if her face had suddenly become hot again.

The other person is clearly a child about the same height as her, so why does she keep having these wild thoughts? Could it be that she's starting to have mental problems too?

The heat on the young lady's face turned cold at that moment. She pursed her lips, and when she looked up again, her gaze had returned to its usual indifference.

This time, however, she was a little hesitant to look at Yu Shijiu beside her.

Yu Shijiu was naturally sensitive to changes in other people's states, and he wasn't annoyed when he noticed the sudden change in the young lady's state. He simply walked with her in the villa's courtyard, step by step approaching the flowerbed not far away.

The closer you get, the clearer the intense fragrance of roses becomes.

The roses in the flowerbed looked exceptionally beautiful in the sunlight. Their sturdy stems and leaves, along with all the rosebuds leaning against the second-floor window, swayed gently in the breeze, like beautiful women in bright red dresses.

Yu Shijiu was startled by the adjectives that came to mind.

He then secretly praised himself.

That's amazing! You even came up with such anthropomorphic descriptions. It seems your cultural level isn't low.

Yu Shijiu, a semi-illiterate vagrant, was very satisfied with this.

"Nineteen, aren't the flowers all beautiful?"

The young lady suddenly spoke up.

Yu Shijiu stopped admiring his own mental climax and nodded with great satisfaction.

"They are so beautiful, they look like dancing women."

Miss:"……"

She clearly hadn't expected to hear such praise, and was momentarily speechless before finally speaking.

"...Nineteen, your description is indeed quite different from others."

She thought Yu Shijiu would highly praise the flowers growing in the flowerbed... after all, the guests who had come for walks with her before had all done so.

Why should we be the same as everyone else?

Yu Shijiu was clearly confused about this, "I am me and others are others, so our thoughts are definitely different."

The young lady paused for a second, then smiled.

“That’s true,” the young lady said with a smile as she walked to the flowerbed, squatted down, and planted the roses she had cut from the window, stem and all, into the soft, damp ground of the flowerbed.

"Everyone is different, so naturally their thoughts are different too."

As she spoke, the young lady gripped the rose stem tightly.

The sharp, untreated thorns on the rose stems pierced her palms, but she seemed oblivious, continuing to forcefully plant all the roses into the soil before letting go.

Yu Shijiu stood beside her, seemingly oblivious to the increasingly pale face of the young lady, and unconcerned about how bizarre it was that she was sticking the broken rose into the ground with her bare hands.

He simply stared at the shadows of the roses, their stems severed, standing upright in the flowerbed, and exclaimed in surprise.

"So beautiful."

Yu Shijiu said thoughtfully, "Indeed, the most beautiful roses are those that have already bloomed."

No matter how many times I looked at it, the rosebuds leaning against the second-floor window seemed so unripe compared to the fully bloomed roses in the young lady's hand.

Is there any connection between the two?

No.

Yu Shijiu quickly interrupted his thoughts.

Yes, there must be a connection.

"Of course the flowers are beautiful when they're in bloom."

The young lady, still squatting by the flowerbed, chuckled softly. A few barely noticeable drops of blood slowly dripped from her pricked fingertip and palm, gradually falling onto the rose petals.

The petal drooped slightly for a moment after being hit by a drop of blood, but quickly recovered.

Yu Shijiu didn't say anything.

He looked at the young lady's white dress lying on the ground, dirty with mud, and tilted his head in confusion.

Miss must be very clean, right?

"When the rose matures, it will naturally bloom in its most beautiful form," the young lady murmured to herself, gently stroking the rose she had just "planted" herself.

"But beauty is only fleeting. Once it has given its most beautiful moment, what will be left for it?"

"..."

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment: "A freshman?"

The young lady paused, looked up at the young man standing beside her, and asked with some confusion:

"newborn?"

"correct."

The boy standing next to her laughed upon hearing this, his snow-white teeth faintly visible in his smile.

"When flowers wither and rot in the soil, won't they then nourish the soil that nurtured them?"

"Shouldn't this be considered a kind of rebirth?"

Yu Shijiu really thought so.

A beautiful flower blooms and then decays, but it can indeed reappear in the world the following year.

Flowers and humans are different.

When a person dies, they are truly dead.

Players in the town in front of the screen: "..."

They stared at the earnest-looking boy on the screen and fell silent.

To be honest... why does Yu Shijiu's "normal" chat and heart-to-heart talk with the NPCs seem even stranger?!

Also, why is Yu Shijiu chatting and having a heart-to-heart talk with an NPC here?!

Some players quietly switched channels to watch other players' live streams, and fell silent again.

Everyone was busy looking for clues, including Lu Chusheng... Only Yu Shijiu was here chatting and talking with the NPCs.

That's outrageous!!!

Why does Yu Shijiu always look like she's on vacation?!

--------

After hearing Yu Shijiu's explanation, the young lady's eyes became somewhat dazed, and she hesitated before saying:

"Really? I didn't know it could be interpreted that way. That's a novel perspective..."

The word "new student" can actually be used here...
