Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 Embracing the Ginkgo Tree

Shen Jingqi was somewhat stunned.

He could actually see information tags here!

Shen Jingqi blinked again and saw a large number of dense information tags in front of him.

[1-year white dandelion, in full bloom, about 10 months of fruit period after 2 months]

[1-year white dandelion, in full bloom, about 10 months of fruit period after 2 months]

[1-year white dandelion, in full bloom, about 10 months of fruit period after 2 months]

...

The content of all the information tags was the same.

The surroundings were a dandelion world.

They were still young and had many flowering seasons to come.

The sky full of information tags danced in the air, bringing the most primitive shock and surprise to Shen Jingqi.

Feeling the ginkgo leaves on his face, shaped like a small fan, laid on his face, with a slightly cool feeling.

Shen Jingqi held the leaf, placed it at the corner of his mouth, and gently spun it.

When he was little, he loved playing by spinning grass leaves like this.

He also remembered that every autumn, the elementary school campus would be covered with various fallen leaves.

The golden leaves represented harvest and joy, and also carried his happiness.

He would pick up various leaves from the ground with many classmates.

Some were placed in notebooks, others were made into something used for competitions.

Leaf stem pulling!

Cross two leaf stems together and pull fiercely, breaking the opponent's stem meant you won!

At that time, he would collect many, many leaf stems.

Shen Jingqi still remembers, at that time, some leaf stems were very powerful, defeating many others.

He kept these leaf stems in his pocket, treasured like gems.

In class, he would put his hand into his pocket, touching the soft leaf stems.

These soft leaf stems had lost most of their moisture, becoming very tough.

New leaf stems usually had outstanding battle records.

Throughout the entire autumn, Shen Jingqi would immerse himself in the joy of leaf stems.

After autumn, the clothes also changed with the season!

In places unknown to Shen Jingqi, the leaf stems turned black and hard over time.

His attention had already been drawn to other things.

The winter stove and heating, ice flowers on the window glass, occupied his gaze.

By the time the next year came, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few dry, hard leaf stems.

With a gentle grip, the leaf stems shattered.

Shen Jingqi didn't care at the time.

There would be new leaf stems every autumn.

It wasn't until after middle school that he stopped playing this game.

Attention returned to the ginkgo leaves.

Thin leaf stems connecting to smooth leaves, just thinking about it is beautiful.

Holding the leaf stem with his hand, the ginkgo leaf swayed slightly, like a yellow butterfly.

Shen Jingqi got up and groped around.

He moved forward about two steps, his fingers constantly touching around.

The index, middle, and ring fingers of his right hand together touched a smooth surface.

The trunk of the ginkgo tree!

To maintain balance underfoot, Shen Jingqi also placed his left hand on the trunk.

His fingers stroked the trunk, feeling the bark's temperature.

This tree was very young, full of vitality and energy.

The tree's skin was tight and flexible.

The smooth trunk was irresistible.

"Hello, ginkgo tree."

Shen Jingqi greeted the ginkgo tree.

It had just greeted him with its leaves, so he needed to reciprocate.

Soon, Shen Jingqi felt the branches and leaves above gently patting his head, providing a gentle yet powerful comfort. Silent, but giving Shen Jingqi a sense of safety.

It seemed to be telling Shen Jingqi, we're here.

Then the leaves collectively made a swishing sound.

The ginkgo tree responded to him!

Shen Jingqi was very pleased.

He extended his arms, caressing the ginkgo tree's leaves.

Countless leaves overlapped, creating a joyful rhythm.

Rustle rustle rustle!

Some ginkgo leaf stems detached from the branches and flew into the air.

On his shoulders and head, a gentle weight let Shen Jingqi know more leaves had settled on him.

As more leaves settled on him, Shen Jingqi felt increasingly peaceful.

He remained motionless, fearing disturbing the ginkgo leaves' reassurance.

If the ginkgo leaves' nerves were sensitive, he needed to remain extra quiet.

The leaves said nothing, only gently coming closer.

Shen Jingqi usually disliked unexpected disturbances, but this time, he enjoyed the ginkgo leaves' closeness.

He even wanted to say:

"You all come, I'm right here."

The leaves flew onto him, some even drifted to his feet.

Shen Jingqi felt his feet bearing the texture of life.

Those varying veins were the leaf's lifeline, even if time had drained moisture, the texture remained.

Shen Jingqi slowly lowered his hands.

Feeling the ginkgo tree before him, Shen Jingqi longed to give it a hug.

He naturally extended his arms.

Shen Jingqi embraced the ginkgo tree, pressing his ear against the trunk, feeling its heartbeat and breath.

An extraordinary connection occurred!

Shen Jingqi sensed the ginkgo tree's breath, and a signal from within it.

"Someone has been here!"

"I'm very happy!"

"I really like it!"

Shen Jingqi was immersed in the emotional world of the ginkgo tree, and was also affected by it.

His face pressed against the tree's smooth skin, feeling himself gradually connecting with the ginkgo tree.

The tree's breath made him feel relaxed.

Everything was utterly serene.

Shen Jingqi felt he didn't need to think about anything.

At this moment, quietly embracing the ginkgo tree was the happiest feeling!

Without time constraints, Shen Jingqi could freely enjoy endless freedom.

At some point, Shen Jingqi slowly woke up.

His arms were a bit sore, only then did Shen Jingqi realize he'd fallen asleep hugging the ginkgo tree.

He moved his arms slightly, shook them to relieve the numbness, then once again embraced the ginkgo tree.

It was just so smooth!

Touching it couldn't stop!

Most importantly, this ginkgo tree gave him a sense of reliability!

In this unfamiliar world, Shen Jingqi felt sufficient security and trust.

His fingers stroked the trunk.

Feeling every part.

Since he couldn't see, touch was the only sense and way to confirm.

While Shen Jingqi was deeply engaged, he suddenly felt a mark.

Around this mark were consecutive marks.

With his experience, Shen Jingqi quickly figured these marks seemed like writing.

Stroke by stroke.

Forming an imprint on the trunk.

Shen Jingqi held his breath, following along the strokes of the writing with exploration.

A horizontal, a vertical, a slash, a dot.

A hooked horizontal, a hooked vertical, another horizontal.

On top is a wood character, below is a child character.

Together, it forms a character!

Li!
