90. Flowers bloom early in dreams

Jin Yu: Yesterday I went to Xingyin Garden in my hometown again. I had a childhood playmate who was lucky and voice-over. I haven’t seen my playmates for many years, but I still looked like I was a child.

Huilan: No matter how time and space change, memory is always young. How is Xingyin Garden built?

Jin Yu: It’s almost built, it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to describe, and I feel extremely excited. I even saw the peach blossoms and was so lingering.

Huilan: March is not yet here, where does the peach blossoms bloom? Today is February 18th, are you talking in your sleep?

Jin Yu: Don’t rush to solve the mystery, listen to me to tell you what you saw. There is a tree that doesn’t know what its name is, with red leaves on it looking like a stamen. Green leaves accompany you, which looks very beautiful.

Huilan: I am so happy that I am no longer interested in Shu?

Jin Yu: I will never forget it when I met you. I also met the library, which contains many books.

Huilan: The library is crowded, is it still a waste of doors?

Jin Yu: If you don’t read books, it doesn’t mean that others don’t love books. When I saw someone, I brought a bundle of trees and registered them one by one. I stood there in line, and felt a little ashamed.

Huilan: Why do you feel sorry for your love for books so much?

Jin Yu: I only chose one of them when I borrowed many books. Compared with others, can I not be ashamed?

Huilan: Why not borrow more books?

Jin Yu: I wanted to borrow a few more books. But once I woke up from my dream, everything became a bubble.

Huilan: I said that. Where does the peach blossoms come from in February? You are talking in your sleep again.
