Richard looked at the white cloud, so happy. His eyes were fixed on her, he was infected by her happiness, and he seemed to feel the dampness in the corners of his eyes. He seemed to feel the moisture in the corners of his eyes. Bai Yun met his gaze just now and said, "Richard, why are you crying?"
Richard said, "You're wrong, how can a man cry?"
Bai Yun said, "I clearly saw a tear in the corner of your eye?"
"Did you?" Richard pretended to be calm, "Maybe I was too happy, you may not believe me, I've never felt such easy and simple happiness so deeply, only with you did I experience it for the first time."
Bai Yun approached Richard, she slowly approached him, they were standing at the edge of the same sea of lavender flowers, but it seemed to take Bai Yun a long time to get closer to him, to get closer to him. Bai Yun looked up carefully into Richard's eyes and said seriously, "Can you hug me?"
Richard hesitated, silent. Momentarily. Stop. Sometimes a second of hesitation and struggle can last as long as a century. But in the end she slowly embraced the white cloud, gently taking her into her arms. As the sun shone and the wind picked up, the scent of lavender drifted close to her, and the fragrance of Bai Yun's hair was inhaled by Richard along with the scent of lavender.
Richard embraced Baiyun and told her a legend about lavender: "An angel destined to live in another world fell in love with a beautiful mortal woman. Every day the angel had to endure severe physical and mental pain because he had to shed his wings for her if he was to fall in love with her. In spite of this, the angel felt that every day they spent together was as happy as a dream. And since it was like a dream, there was a time to wake up. Their happiness was short-lived. The angel was taken back to heaven, for he was destined to belong there. The angel had a wish: he was willing to be punished in any way, but only to show the beautiful mortal woman how faithful he was to her love. So God relegated him to earth and he left another tear, which turned into a butterfly to accompany his beloved girl. The girl thought that the angel had gone back to heaven and forgotten about her, but she did not know that the angel had turned into a butterfly to keep her company for many days, and that she had been foolishly waiting for him to return to the garden where he had left her. As she waited day and night, the girl turned into a lavender plant that blooms every year and spreads its fragrance far and wide with the breeze, looking for the angel who had been brought down to earth. "
White Cloud wept at this poignant story and said, "Why didn't the angel himself tell the woman his true heart and the truth of his transformation into a butterfly, so that she wouldn't be so sad and disappointed, and she would be content with the company of the butterfly that the angel had left behind in tears, so that they could be together and love each other forever?"
Richard said, "There are many things we can't change, like this story, which is the way it was meant to be."
Bai Yun said, "I want to change it into a different story."
Richard said, "You can change it, but if you change it, it won't be the same story. Don't think about this story, it's a sad story. We should cherish the beauty of the present and enjoy it, not let it down, shouldn't we? I'll sing you an English folk song."
