Une volonté éternelle - Chapitre 1314
Everything Bai Xiaochun had just seen faded away, becoming an eternal memory.
He opened his eyes, to find himself still standing at the prow of the boat in the River of Time and Space. Après un moment, he looked away from the Eternal Flower on the right.
The old boatman took out another jug of alcohol, took a sip, and then looked at Bai Xiaochun.
“That flower really suits you. It’s not going back to the beginning, but neither is it the true ending.”
Bai Xiaochun didn’t say anything, et il était impossible de dire ce qu'il pensait. He looked at the flower on the left, and then the flower on the right, et enfin, ferma à nouveau les yeux.
“Why don’t you take that flower on the right? It seems wonderful to me. Bien que, both of them are actually acceptable…. Trying to pick between the two seems like a very difficult choice.” The old man sighed. Vraiment, not even he would have an easy time making this choice.
“One of them features a set conclusion. Although it would conform to your desires, everything is already set.
“The other features endless possibilities, and a future brimming with options. Maybe you could make things more perfect. Maybe you could get rid of all your doubts, and make your future exactly the way you want it.”
Le vieil homme secoua la tête. “How will you pick…? Would you like to have a drink while you consider?"
Avec ça, he held out his jug of alcohol.
“There’s no need.” Bai Xiaochun said. Ouvrir ses yeux, he looked out at the two flowers. Souriant, he reached out….
La fin.
1314. One Life, One Lifetime. Une volonté éternelle!
(En chinois, le nombre 1314 rhymes with the characters that mean “one life, one lifetime” or essentially “one’s whole life.” It’s a very sentimental and somewhat romantic number)
