Bab 526: Old Memories are Precious

Sheng Li stepped inside the chamber. He pushed the curtains away and saw Ying Lili near the window. He went to her and back-hugged her. "Lili," he softly called her name and rested his chin on her shoulder. 

He looked outside and found Ying Lili was looking at the dry tree. "I told Xing-Fu to get it cut," Sheng Li muttered. 

"Do not get it cut," Ying Lili urged him and tilted her head. "The tree is still alive. It's just the weather is not in the tree's favor," Ying Lili pronounced. 

Sheng Li removed his arms from around her and stood straight. "It has been months and its condition is the same," Sheng Li replied. He put both of his hands behind his back and stood by Ying Lili's side. 

"But none of its branches broke even in the extreme weather conditions. The things which appear to be weak are not sometimes," Ying Lili asserted.
