Today they were in the forest.
Xiao Daoshi was practicing his sword techniques while the refined sunflower sunbathed on a large rock. Half-way through his training, the small priest happened to glance over at the refined sunflower sitting on the large rock.
A breeze whispered through the forest, gently lifting long dark strands of the refined sunflower’s hair. At this moment, the refined sunflower’s face looked soft and white as jade, even more attractive. Xiao Daoshi unconsciously took a few steps towards the unsuspecting sunflower, his heart beating beating like a wild drum.
The refined sunflower suddenly turned around to face Xiao Daoshi. He tilted his head, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Daoshi came out of his daze. His face turned red, “Nothing, it’s nothing. I was just a bit tired.”
The refined sunflower patted his lap invitingly, “It’s cooler here, come lie down and rest for a while.”
Xiao Daoshi nodded and jumped onto the rock. He carefully laid his head in the refined sunflower’s lap and closed his eyes.
The refined sunflower used his sleeves to wipe off the beads of sweat on Xiao Daoshi’s forehead. He said, “This place must be even more beautiful when the pear trees are in full bloom.”
Xiao Daoshi wanted to reply but hesitated. Remembering that the sunflower didn’t like hearing him say other flowers were beautiful, the small priest replied, “They look alright.”
The refined sunflower smiled, “Are you afraid I will be jealous?”
Xiao Daoshi shifted uncomfortably.
The refined sunflower had seen straight through Xiao Daoshi’s words. He said, “I am not jealous. If it makes you happy, then naturally it is a good thing. Look at this new spell I learned.”
Xiao Daoshi looked up from where he was lying on the sunflower’s lap.
The pear trees, whose flowering period had long passed, had buds slowly sprouting from its branches. Under the refined sunflower’s powerful commands, the petals gradually opened. Ten thousand tree blossoms flowered at once, the pure white pear flowers blossoming in this late summer and early autumn season. The countless pure white pears blossoms blooms decorated the scenery like wisps of clouds.
A gentle breeze came by. The pear blossoms drifted down, like a sudden shower of crystals. They fell one by one, covering the forest floor bit by bit, until it looked like a path of snow.
Xiao Daoshi lifted his head and sat up, looking at the scene with wide eyes, not wanting to miss a single moment.
The refined sunflower stretched his waist and complained, “That used up so much of my spiritual energy, I’m so tired.”
Xiao Daoshi was lost in his own fascination at the scene, “Yes.”
The refined sunflower said, “The pear blossoms are very beautiful.”
Xiao Daoshi, “Yes!”
The refined sunflower, “I will rest for a bit. In a few days, I will do this for you again.”

The refined sunflower was unhappy, “You’re not allowed to take it back. You humans have a saying for this: if you lie, then you’ll be a dog.”
Xiao Daoshi laughed, “This saying is not used in this way.”
The refined sunflower moved closer to the small priest, “I don’t care. Come kiss me.”
Xiao Daoshi was embarrassed. He licked his upper lip and bottom lip nervously before quickly pressing them against the sunflower’s cheek. After achieving contact, Xiao Daoshi hurriedly jumped down from the rock and ran away like a rabbit being chased.
The refined sunflower touched the place that Xiao Daoshi kissed and smiled. He picked up the sword the Xiao Daoshi dropped, and followed after him.
Ever since he ran back from the forest of pear blossoms, Xiao Daoshi wasn’t able to relax. By consequence, as soon as night fell, the refined sunflower was banished from Xiao Daoshi’s bed, ordered to revert back into his flower form and stand inside the flower pot.
Each time, the refined sunflower protested loudly. But when the refined sunflower demanded to know what he had done wrong, Xiao Daoshi only silently looked away. So every time this happened, the refined sunflower could only stand in the flower pot, and angrily shake his head.
Left in the flower pot everyday, the refined sunflower dejectedly played with his own leaves, “Be honest, don’t you like me a little bit?”
Xiao Daoshi was lying on his bed. He muttered in a low voice, “Not at all. Stop speaking nonsense.”
The refined sunflower forced a sunflower seed out of his flower, “Oh, I’m speaking nonsense? Then explain why you don’t let me change back into my human form. It must be because my human form is so beautiful that you are afraid of losing control when you see it.”
Xiao Daoshi pulled the covers over his head, “Anyways, I still don’t like you!”
On the same day, at the end of class in the morning, Big Brother asked Xiao Daoshi to stay back. Big Brother said, “Xiao Daoshi, do you still remember the pot of orchid that you gifted to me?”
Xiao Daoshi looked up at Big Brother, inwardly worried that Big Brother’s orchid had also taken a human form. Xiao Daoshi replied uneasily, “I remember…what about it?”
Big Brother’s face showed some worry, “The orchid’s flower bud has already long grown, but the orchid hasn’t blossomed. After such a long time, the flower only grows bigger and bigger but never blooms. I was worried that this was because I wasn’t taking care of the orchid properly, and wanted to ask you for help.”
Hearing this, Xiao Daoshi sighed in relief. He said, “I think I have a book in my place that writes about what to do in a situation like this, Shixiong can come back with me and… Ah, nevermind. I’ll bring it over for you when I’m free.”
Big Brother, “It’s alright, I can come with you right now.”
Xiao Daoshi quickly said, “You can’t.”
Big Brother narrowed his eyes, “Why does Shidi not want me to go?”
Xiao Daoshi looked flustered. He said, “It’s not that I don’t want you to go.”
Big Brother said, “Then I will go.”
Xiao Daoshi said, “You can’t.”
Big Brother frowned, “I must go and take a look. You must be hiding something in your house that breaks the rules of righteousness.”
Xiao Daoshi could only give in to Big Brother’s request. He proceeded to lead Big Brother back to his house and into his room, hoping that the refined sunflower would be obediently standing in the flower pot.
However, as soon as the gates to Xiao Daoshi’s home opened, both of them froze at the scene.
Big Brother’s draw dropped on the floor in shock. He looked on at the beautiful man sunbathing naked in the middle of the yard. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, this handsome person… it was a spirit, a monster!
The refined sunflower innocently waved to Big Brother with great enthusiasm.
Xiao Daoshi couldn’t bear to look at Big Brother’s face.
Big Brother angrily turned to him, “Shidi, you actually dared to do such an outrageous thing!”
Xiao Daoshi started to cry, “Shixiong, I can explain…”
Big Brother cut him off, “What reasons can there be? You actually dared to raise a demon, a monster! In your own house! What a righteous Shidi!”
Xiao Daoshi whispered, “He only needs sunlight and does not eat people. He is not a harmful monster…”
Big Brother drew his sabre, “What a load of bullshit. How can demons not be harmful? I am going to get rid of this monster right here, right now!”
The refined sunflower raised his eyebrows, untroubled by Big Brother’s sabre. He was only looking at Xiao Daoshi, as if he was more concerned about Xiao Daoshi’s reaction.
Xiao Daoshi ran in front of the refined sunflower and stuck his arms out protectively. He faced Big Brother and said, “He is harmless!”
Xiao Daoshi’s big brother was angered to the point where he was almost speechless, “Shidi, have you lost your mind? If Master finds out, you will be beaten to death!”
Xiao Daoshi said, “I won’t let Master see him.”
The refined sunflower made a huffing sound from behind Xiao Daoshi.
Big Brother, “…”
Xiao Daoshi could only tug on his big brother’s sleeves pitfully, “Shixiong, can’t you just pretend you didn’t see him? I promise you, he will not hurt anyone.”
Big Brother sheathed his sabre with a black face, “I cannot. But in the name of our strong brotherhood of many years, I will give you some time to get rid of this demon yourself. If he is not gone when I come back in three days, do not blame this elder brother for being ruthless.”
After saying these words, Big Brother left the house.
The refined sunflower went over to Xiao Daoshi and took him gently into his arms, “Do you want me to go away?”
Xiao Daoshi immediately shook his head, tears dripping down his face.
The refined sunflower wiped Xiao Daoshi’s cheeks with his fingers, “And you said you didn’t like me. Be obedient, give me a baby sunflower.”
Xiao Daoshi sniffled pitfully, “I really am unable to give birth.”
The refined sunflower gave Xiao Daoshi a kiss, “En, then don’t give birth. Don’t cry anymore.”
Xiao Daoshi felt like this scene was a bit wrong, “You put on some clothes first. How can the ‘refusing to part forever scene’ be emotional when you are standing there with a naked butt?”
The refined sunflower knitted his eyebrows and pinched Xiao Daoshi’s cheek, “What parting forever, if it really comes to that, you and me, we will run away together.”
Xiao Daoshi finally cracked a smile, “And then accompany you to the flower fields and bask in the sun.”
The refined sunflower also laughed, “We can go wherever you want.”
Xiao Daoshi sniffled some more, calming down, “I will go see Big Brother tomorrow and try to change my mind. This is the place where I grew up, I don’t really want to leave.”
The refined nodded and started to put on his clothes.
The author has something to say:
The characters will not be abused… Shixiong’s words are going to slap himself in the face ha ha ha
Poor orchid who mades itself bigger because of Shixiong’s word !
