 Listen to what Ye Shunguang and Orchidea are talking about

---

Ye Shunguang is standing in front of the flower shop and seems troubled by something. Let's go see what's up...

Lumina Square

(Idle)

Ye Shunguang: What flowers should I choose...

(Talk to Ye Shunguang)

Ye Shunguang: All the flowers look so beautiful, I can't seem to pick one...

Orchidea: Take your time, there's no need to rush. Flowers themselves aren't precious. What matters most are the feelings and affection hidden within the bouquet.

Orchidea: If you really can't decide... why not follow your heart and pick whatever flower catches your eye the most?

Ye Shunguang: ...Is that so? I see.

 A Bouquet for Myself

---

Story Description: Ye Shunguang picked out a bouquet for herself, then invited (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) to accompany her somewhere — these flowers were a tribute to both her past and rebirth.

Xiao'Guang is carefully selecting flowers, her face hidden behind the bouquet, the breeze lifting her hair in gentle arcs.
After a moment, she settles on a bunch and hands it to Miss Orchidea.

Orchidea: Lilies, hydrangeas, and hyacinths... What a gentle soul you have.

Orchidea: I'll wrap these up right away. Just a moment, please.

(Quietly approach Xiao'Guang)

(Pat Xiao'Guang hair)

Ye Shunguang: ...Junior, you're here too?

Ye Shunguang: Is this what Shifu calls "meeting the right person at the right time"? You always show up by my side at the most unexpected yet perfect moments!

Yup!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Indeed. So... if you need anything, you can always let me know — Anytime, anywhere.Indeed.

Ye Shunguang: Mm... Actually, there is something I'd like to ask of you today...

Ye Shunguang: Can you go somewhere with me? With you there, I feel like I'll have the extra courage I need.

Xiao'Guang's eyes gleam softly in the sunlight.
How could anyone refuse her...?

Of course.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Of course.Of course.Text for Wise / Of course~!Of course~!Text for Belle‍) Let's head out once Miss Orchidea finishes packing the (‍flowers.flowers.Text for Wise / flowers!flowers!Text for Belle‍)

Shortly after, Orchidea brings over the wrapped bouquet for Xiao'Guang.
You accompany her back to a familiar spot.

Ye Shunguang: Many years ago, in the Miasma outbreak, I fell into darkness...

Ye Shunguang: It was endless silence and despair. I couldn't hear anything, see anything, think of anything, or do anything...

Ye Shunguang: Until I heard the sound of stones being moved from above, and faint voices...

Ye Shunguang: ...I saw the sunlight.

Ye Shunguang: Banyue Shifu saved us. He ran across the bridge with us in his arms... Even now, I still remember that moment, and the wind roaring in my ears.

Ye Shunguang: After that, my brother and I lived on charity. Those times were hard too, but I knew the worst was behind us.

Ye Shunguang: To worry about making ends meet, to think about the future... This meant we were truly part of the mundane world. And I was willing to give everything for that...

Xiao'Guang looks up, sunlight dances on her lashes, tracing faint, delicate shadows.
She smiles toward the sky, white blossoms gently framing her face.

Ye Shunguang: Everyone tells me I should love myself more... but protecting New Eridu is my wish.

Ye Shunguang: But things are a bit different now.

Ye Shunguang: I'm still willing to give my life for New Eridu. But beyond that, I also want to walk through the rest of my life together with you, Junior.

Ye Shunguang: What kind of person am I in your eyes?

You're my Senior, Xiao'Guang.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You're my Senior, Xiao'Guang! We've been through so much together, we've walked through the past, and in the future... we'll write (‍many,many,Text for Belle‍) many more stories (‍together.together.Text for Wise / together!together!Text for Belle‍)

Ye Shunguang: ...I think so too.

Ye Shunguang: You've stayed by my side all this time. With everything we've gone through together, you've always kept me company and trusted me...

Ye Shunguang: Of all the people in this world, you know me the best — Much better than I know myself!

Ye Shunguang: Before, I used to think that being chosen by the Qingming Sword meant I had to be a "grown-up." I can't make others worry about me.

Ye Shunguang: But when I'm with you, I want to open up, I want to tell you everything on my mind. Even the small things I notice in passing, I want to share them with you...

Ye Shunguang: Because... you always catch me, don't you?

Ye Shunguang: These are... flowers for myself.

Ye Shunguang: For the me who once hid in the courtyard watching stars. For the me who fought alone, gritting my teeth through every swing of the sword. For the fierce, untamed other me, and... for the me who stands here right now.

Ye Shunguang: Thank you, to every version of me who never gave up, who kept going forward, until I reached a brand-new, colorful future.

Ye Shunguang: And in the colors of the future, there's my brother, Shifu, Senior Pan and Senior Fufu... and you.

Ye Shunguang: Oh, when we get back, Shifu and the others will probably ask about what we did today...

Ye Shunguang: Please keep this a secret for me, Junior!

I gotchu!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Of course, this is our secret, just between you and me. And it's my most precious memory... I'll keep it (‍safe.safe.Text for Wise / safe!safe!Text for Belle‍)

You wander around for a bit...
Then return to Suibian Temple with Xiao'Guang.

Trust Rank Upgrade to Trusted with Ye Shunguang

(Idle)

Ye Shunguang: I feel much more relaxed now...

(Talk to Ye Shunguang again, optional)

Ye Shunguang: Sometimes I wonder...

Ye Shunguang: Could it be... because I've been through so many hardships?

Ye Shunguang: That I finally saved up enough luck...

Ye Shunguang: That I could meet you and everyone...
