Plan A
Gift to the Spring Breeze 1
Wish
【Extra】
On the day Miss Shen left, Su Xin did not cry.
She only had a kind of indescribable sadness and confusion.
Dead?
Dead.
Shen Xiangting died in Su Xin’s embrace.
Su Xin was reading a book, and Shen Xiangting leaned against her, eyes closed, basking in the sun.
She left without a word of farewell.
The moment she lost her breath, Su Xin, as if sensing something, lowered her head and placed her hand below her nose.
She appeared very calm, so she asked Fourteen if there was still a chance to save her.
Fourteen said, no.
At that moment, Su Xin suddenly remembered many things about her and Shen Xiangting.
Miss Shen, when speaking words of love, liked to lower her voice, her tone luxurious and making the listener tingle.
Miss Shen would occasionally be quite roguish, sometimes suddenly becoming hands-on while talking.
Miss Shen could always find many inexplicable reasons for them to kiss.
Today the wind is strong, so she must kiss Su Xin.
Miss Shen initially ruined the kitchen when cooking, but later would make delicious food for Su Xin every day.
Miss Shen was sometimes very nagging, and could long-windedly instruct her about one thing for a long time.
Su Xin thought, I remember so many things about her, yet never told her even once that I like you.
But it was already too late.
In others’ eyes, Shen Xiangting seemed like a very difficult person to get along with, cold, like a dangerous tiger.
But this very fierce tiger was gentle as a loyal dog in front of Su Xin, even somewhat nagging like a little old lady.
On the third day after Miss Shen’s death, Su Xin was already nearly driven crazy by loneliness.
She thought she could handle it, just like before, being alone without feeling lonely.
But things were not as easy as she thought; every night when falling asleep and every morning when opening her eyes, she found no one beside her, which she was not accustomed to. Sometimes she would call out Shen Xiangting’s name in front of the mirror and in the kitchen, or always feel like Shen Xiangting was still in the flowerbed planting flowers.
Fourteen was somewhat worried, thinking its host might have developed some mental issues.
On the fifth day after Shen Xiangting’s death, Su Xin followed her.
I know I didn’t like her that much, but I also couldn’t bear to lose her.
【End】
Su Xin lay on the bed, eyes open.
【Congratulations to the host for completing the task. This time, the task did not deduct any time. The balance is twelve months, and the remaining life in the real world is forty months. Memory has been blurred; please enjoy well. See you next month.】
Fourteen said goodbye to her, agreeing to meet again next month.
See you next month.
Every time after completing a task, she would feel especially tired. As usual, Su Xin slept heavily, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw Qiu Qingqing sitting on her bed.
“Huh? Qingqing, how did you come in?”
Su Xin rubbed her eyes, looked at the time, four in the morning.
How could Qiu Qingqing appear in her room at this time?
Qiu Qingqing looked at her without speaking, then suddenly hugged her.

“Ah… ah?”
Su Xin blinked, confused by the situation.
It was strange.
Su Xin patted Qiu Qingqing’s back, noticing that her good friend’s emotions were not right.
Qiu Qingqing moved her lips and said something that made Su Xin not know whether to laugh or cry.
“I had a dream, dreamed that I did something wrong to you.”
“Pfft, what kind of wrong thing could make you not sleep in the middle of the night and run to my room to hug me?”
Su Xin was curious, as this friend of hers was known to be an unflappable person, yet this was very out of control.
“Could it be that you took my person? Or betrayed me?”
“No, I dreamed that I left you in a very lonely place.”
“Then where did you go?”
“I died.”
Qiu Qingqing’s voice was muffled.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about, you weren’t intentional, and you didn’t intend to die.”
Su Xin pouted, not understanding where her friend’s sadness was coming from.
Qiu Qingqing shook her head, feeling very guilty.
“Alright, alright, it was just a dream, no need to take it seriously. Dreams and reality are opposite.”
Su Xin yawned; she wasn’t fully awake yet.
“Let’s sleep, it’s the middle of the night.”
Su Xin patted the bed, letting Qiu Qingqing lie down properly.
When Su Xin woke up the next day, Qiu Qingqing was no longer beside her.
She walked into the bathroom and discovered that the toothbrush cup already had water prepared, with a toothbrush and toothpaste placed on top.
While brushing her teeth, Su Xin thought to herself, it seems that dream really scared Qiu Qingqing a lot.
Originally, someone in her profession wouldn’t be so soft-hearted; getting this nervous over a dream that wasn’t even a nightmare is truly exaggerated. However, Su Xin felt delighted, as it showed that Qiu Qingqing was very concerned about her.
After washing up and going downstairs, she enjoyed a hot lunch, and life felt very happy like this.
But after enjoying several days of such beautiful times, Su Xin protested to Qiu Qingqing.
“If you continue like this, you’ll spoil me into being useless.”
Su Xin was very helpless.
“The after-effects of that dream are too strong. Don’t worry, there won’t be such a day. If there ever is a day when you really die, I will manage just fine on my own.”
Su Xin said while eating a chicken leg.
Is that so? It seems like one cannot live without the other.
With blurred memories, Su Xin, who didn’t remember the final ending of her last world, unknowingly contradicted herself.
“Even eating can’t stop you from talking.”
Qiu Qingqing gave her a look.
After eating and sleeping for several days, Su Xin felt she was going to get fat, so she very consciously went to Qiu Qingqing’s home gym to exercise for a morning to maintain her physical fitness.
Swimming and exercising for several days, Su Xin felt her condition had returned to its peak, with her energy extremely high.
“Shall we have a match?”
Su Xin initiated a challenge to Qiu Qingqing. Both are in the same profession and often sparred to train before. Su Xin thought that it seemed like a long time since she last sparred with Qiu Qingqing.
“Alright.”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Qiu Qingqing closed her book and went to her room to change clothes.
Wearing close-fitting sportswear and tying up her hair, Qiu Qingqing shed her gentle demeanor and became sharp.
Standing opposite her, Su Xin, full of excitement, stretched her body.
“Five minutes.”
The rule of the competition: whoever can pin the other on the ground for ten minutes wins.
“Alright.”
Su Xin’s body was flexible and soft, with very fast dodging speed, while Qiu Qingqing preferred a direct approach, acting without hesitation once she seized her target.
Su Xin was thrown to the ground, and Qiu Qingqing’s body pressed down on her.
“Not bad, you’ve improved.”
Su Xin curled her lips, using her foot to counterattack, and borrowed strength to stand up neatly.
The competition finally ended with Qiu Qingqing’s failure.
“Why were you holding back? Just now, at the last moment, you clearly could have stood up, but you insisted on lying on the ground and letting me press you for five minutes.”
Su Xin took a sip of water.
“Tired, too lazy to get up.”
Qiu Qingqing spread her hands, smiling happily.
Su Xin looked somewhat worriedly at Qiu Qingqing, wondering if her friend had gone foolish, as she was so happy even after losing.
One month later, they met on time.
【Host, a request has been received from an ancient dimension. Do you accept?】
Accept.
【Reality world in cryosleep, handover with client in process, handover successful.】
As soon as Su Xin saw her client, she felt her eyes light up; a very beautiful young girl.
She was wearing ancient attire, with a pear-flower-like accessory adorning her head. Her clothes had a gradient color with a hint of warm yellow, giving a very fresh appearance.
“Unexpectedly, you are an existence not detected by the Heavenly Dao, perhaps an upper god from another dimension?”
The young girl’s voice was soft, making others feel very comfortable.
“That’s not right… but never mind that, please do me this favor.”
“What is your wish?”
“My wish is to help Qin Yi through the great calamity in his life. Please help me protect him well, so that he can be happy for a lifetime.”
The young girl smiled, looking simple and cute.
“Alright.”
Su Xin raised her eyebrows, regarding the wish for protection.
Su Xin opened her eyes and found herself sitting on a branch, surrounded by lush greenery.
The client’s identity is very special; she is a demon, a pear flower demon.
Qin Yi is a man who, in the original owner’s memory, is a very good person and also a very skilled constable. The original owner likes him.
The original owner has no name and is a pear flower demon who has just transformed into human form.
Her connection with Qin Yi began a few years ago when Qin Yi, though young, was quite famous and came to the mountain where the original owner was to handle a case.
The criminal, in a desperate attempt, set fire to the mountain.
The fire almost reached the original owner’s body. She had not yet taken human form and had no way to escape, her consciousness still in a state of confusion, only sensing danger.
There were no trees around the original owner, just a patch of weeds.
Qin Yi killed the criminal beneath her tree, and seeing her branches sparking and the world around turning into a sea of fire, he used his sword and the criminal’s blood to create a barrier. He also climbed the tree to cut off the burning branches. Although the original owner was left looking ugly from the cuts, she knew the young man before her was trying hard to save her.
The fire burned for a very long time. Qin Yi survived for three days on her not yet ripe sour pears, and when leaving, he patted her trunk.
“Good tree.”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
From this, the pear flower demon’s feelings were born.
As soon as she transformed, she eagerly left the mountain to seek her benefactor in the human world.
She secretly turned invisible and followed beside Qin Yi for a long time, almost unable to control herself; she fell in love with that man.
A Taoist told Qin Yi that he had a calamity in his fate, but Qin Yi shook his head and left, not believing in such things.
But the original owner believed, so she appeared to find the Taoist. Unexpectedly, that Taoist truly had some skill, and with one word revealed her identity.
The Taoist said that Qin Yi has a dangerous death calamity in his fate, which he cannot deduce.
The Taoist also said that humans and demons have different paths. If the original owner likes Qin Yi and is even together with him, both Qin Yi and she will receive punishment from the Heavenly Dao.
The original owner was very sad because she likes Qin Yi.
The Taoist also specifically told the original owner news he had once heard from the mouths of other demons.
As long as it is discovered by the immortals of the upper realm that a demon loves a human, except for those of royal lineage or those with a major impact on the direction of humanity, both the human and the demon are uniformly executed.
The reason is because once there was a demon who, due to liking a human, caused great trouble in the underworld after the human died, which angered the upper realm.
Su Xin organized her thoughts. In this world, there is only the upper realm, with immortals above and the underworld managed by immortals below. There are no devils, only demons, ghosts, humans, and gods.
“I want to protect him; I cannot not like him, and I cannot let him die.”
This is what the original owner said when leaving.
