Chapter 31 - 19: I Want One Iris Flowering Plant!
"Really?!" Yan Ruyue shouted with joy.
"I'm not doubting your medical skills, I am just very excited!" Yan Ruyue hurriedly explained fearing Lin Yuan would misunderstand.
"Never mind, actually this Chinese yew tree[1] is not sick." Lin Yuan said.
"Ah?" Yan Ruyue was stunned, "How could it be that it is not sick?"
"It just lacks nutrition." Lin Yuan said indifferently.
"How could it be? I have poured water and given fertilizer to it the same way since my childhood. It used to be okay before. How can it have a nutrition deficiency now?" Yan Ruyue didn't understand.
"You haven't changed, but it doesn't mean it will also not change." Lin Yuan said.
"I haven't changed… doesn't mean it won't change…" Yan Ruyue murmured to herself.
"It lacks sunshine the most," Lin Yuan said while looking at a large tree beside it.
Yan Ruyue had a flash of understand when she followed Lin Yuan's line of sight.
"Chinese Yew grows very slowly, but some shrubs grow quicker. When you planted the Chinese yew, this tree was not here yet!"
"As this tree grew, the sunshine on the Chinese yew gradually decreased. So, I said, a little while ago that you haven't changed, but it has changed." Lin Yuan said.
"So, how do we fix it?" Yan Ruyue had realized the problem hearing Lin Yuan's words and figured out the solution, but she still asked him.
"It's simple, cut down the big tree as soon as possible. But pay attention to the location of the many roots of the big tree. The roots must get cleaned off thoroughly. This malnourished 'Chinese Yew' will then be completely revitalized." Lin Yuan said.
"As long as the big tree is cleared up, Chinese Yew will naturally thrive and grow. Sometimes the prejudices and opinions in people's minds are just like a big tree that has deep roots. Only by clearing the big tree can we brush away the clouds and mist blocking the blue sky."
Yan Ruyue was slightly dazed, seeing the confident Lin Yuan speak frankly about philosophy. Under the sunshine, Lin Yuan's face looked increasingly angular, and his handsome and graceful looks made Yan Ruyue slightly stunned.
'You haven't changed, but it doesn't mean it won't change.'
'The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big tree with deep roots.'
These words incessantly echoed in Yan Ruyue's mind.
