Chapter 216: Design of the Garden of Forget-Your-Sorrow Palace
After a while, Luo Ying came to the hall of Lord Cangmo, who was concentrating on writing calligraphy. He sensed Luo Ying's arrival, slowly raised his head, his eyes as cold as a star, and asked indifferently: "What do you want from me?"
Luo Ying put his hands together and bowed slightly, saying politely: "I would like to borrow some paper and pen from the Lord God to draw the design of the garden!"
Lord Cangmo put down the brush in his hand, stood up, pointed at the desk, and said in a cold voice: "Just draw on my desk!"
Luo Ying said awkwardly: "This... This is not good!"
Lord Cangmo asked her coldly, "I gave you my desk, don't you think it's not good enough?"
Luo Ying rubbed his hands nervously, hesitating and hastily explaining, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his voice: "No... No, I'm afraid of disturbing the God's calligraphy practice!"
Lord Cangmo glanced at her nervous expression, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "I'll sit next to you and read a book."
After saying that, he sat on the chair beside the desk, picked up a book and started reading attentively.
Luo Ying couldn't refuse, so he started drawing the design of the garden on the desk of Lord Cangmo.
She was so focused that the lines she drew were smooth and vivid, as if the whole garden was blooming under her brush. As her thoughts flew, she became more and more devoted to the painting, completely immersed in her own creative world, and did not notice the passage of time.
Luo Ying didn't notice at all that Lord Cangmo beside her was tilting his head, supporting his cheek with one hand, looking at her intently with affectionate eyes, his eyes overflowing with endless love for her.
At this moment, a fairy boy stepped forward with a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand. Mo Yun noticed the infatuated look that Lord Cangmo was giving Luo Ying, and he gently reminded the fairy boy not to disturb them.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, until the design drawing in Luo Ying's hand was completed. She raised her head excitedly, but unexpectedly met the burning eyes of Lord Cangmo.
Their eyes met in the air, as if there was an electric current running through them. Luo Ying's heartbeat quickened, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head in a hurry. She secretly exclaimed in her heart: "Sister Zi Piao and the others are right. This old ice cube is indeed the best of the best in the heavenly realm. His eyes are so charming, even more powerful than the seductive eyes taught by Sister Zi Piao. I will fall for him if I look at him for a few more times."
When Lord Cangmo heard her words through mind reading, he felt like a honeypot had been overturned in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He still maintained his calmness on the surface, and asked in a slightly cold tone: "Have you finished the garden design drawings?"
Luo Ying didn't dare to look at him and nodded nervously. Lord Cangmo took the design drawing from her hand and looked at it carefully for a while. The more he looked, the more excited he became. Luo Ying's design drawing was almost exactly the same as the scene in the energy forest, but it looked like a miniature version of the energy forest, and even more like the first time the two of them planted the energy forest together ten million years ago.
Lord Cangmo was so excited that he could not express it in words. His hands holding the blueprint could not help but tremble. After a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out the words with difficulty: "This...this...isn't this...an energy forest?"
When Luo Ying heard his words, she looked up at Lord Cangmo, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She stammered and responded, "I... I only referred to a part of it. I have only walked less than one-third of the entire energy forest. The rest are my own ideas. You... you... didn't say that I can't refer to it, right!"
When Lord Cangmo heard Luo Ying's words, he was stunned for a moment. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He thought to himself: "You remember the entire energy forest so clearly, even the small details are almost exactly the same. Why can't you remember me?"
Seeing that Lord Cangmo did not respond, Luo Ying waved his hand in front of his eyes and whispered, "Lord, what are you thinking about? My design draft...you are not dissatisfied, are you?"
Lord Cangmo finally came to his senses. He did not answer her question directly, but said coldly: "It's not clear on the picture. Take it to the garden and explain it to me directly!"
The two of them came to the garden together. Lord Cangmo handed the blueprint to Luo Ying and said coldly: "Tell me! What is your overall design idea?"
Luo Ying cleared her throat and began her explanation with her hands and feet dancing: "I hope to turn Wangyou Palace into a garden with flowers blooming all year round. Different flowers bloom all year round. I plan to plant flowers of different seasons together. When one kind of flower blooms in this season, another kind of flower will bloom in the next season. In this way, the garden will always be full of flowers. I also divide the flower borders into several major color systems according to the different colors of different flowers."
As Luo Ying spoke, he approached Lord Cangmo with the blueprint and pointed to the area on the blueprint. "I want to start from here and use the rainbow gradient to create flower borders of different colors. This will serve as a path guide throughout the entire Wangyou Palace. This way, people who come to Wangyou Palace will unconsciously follow the guidance of the flowers and reach each area."
Lord Cangmo was attracted by Luo Ying's active approach and the fragrance wafting from her body, stirring the lake in his heart and causing ripples. He didn't hear what she was saying at all. His eyes, as if attracted by the charming fragrance, were fixed on her face as she explained seriously, unwilling to move away even a little.
Luo Ying accidentally met Lord Cangmo's eyes again. Those eyes seemed to contain endless magic power, which made her feel as if she was electrocuted, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly. She couldn't help but feel her heart pounding, and she secretly exclaimed in her heart: "Oh no! Why do I have such an inexplicable feeling of being moved! I really can't look into his eyes anymore, why do I feel like there are magnets in his eyes!"
Lord Cangmo's mind-reading ability heard what Luo Ying was thinking, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Luo Ying's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden laughter. She looked at Lord Cangmo and blurted out in disbelief: "Lord, you can laugh! I thought your face was frozen by ice!"
When Lord Cangmo heard Luo Ying's words, he was startled, then quickly stopped smiling and returned to his usual seriousness. He spoke calmly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice: "You are mistaken, I have never laughed!"
Seeing Lord Cangmo so serious, Luo Ying couldn't help but feel a little shaken. She scratched her head and whispered to herself, "Could it be that I really saw it wrong? Lord Cangmo never laughed just now. Am I hallucinating? Can hallucinations occur in broad daylight?"
When Lord Cangmo heard her words, he couldn't help himself and quickly clenched his fists to hold back his smile so that Luo Ying wouldn't notice. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Focus and continue talking about your design!"
Luo Ying quickly came back to his senses and said seriously: "Oh! How come we got off topic while we were talking!"
She continued to approach Lord Cangmo with the blueprint, pointing at the content in the map and introducing it to Lord Cangmo: "I want to plant two wisteria trees here, and let the wisteria climb into a giant wisteria tunnel. When the wisteria flowers are in full bloom, those lavender wisteria spikes will cover the entire wisteria tunnel and be extremely spectacular."
Luo Ying unconsciously looked into Lord Cangmo's eyes again. Their eyes met. That burning gaze instantly triggered fragments of his memory, and it was that sweet voice: "Brother Cangmo, I want to plant two wisterias here, and let the wisterias climb into a giant wisteria tunnel. When the wisteria flowers are in full bloom, those lavender wisteria spikes will cover the entire wisteria tunnel and be extremely spectacular."
Luo Ying's thoughts froze in an instant, as if time had stopped. In her memory, the black-haired Lord Cangmo and his fiery eyes perfectly matched the scene in reality, without any deviation.
Lord Cangmo caught this flash of memory in her mind. He gazed at Luo Ying affectionately with a sharp gaze and asked softly, "Do you remember everything?"
Luo Ying was caught off guard by this sudden question. She was a little flustered. She stammered, trying to hide the turbulent fluctuations in her heart: "What... God, I don't know what you mean?"
Lord Cangmo saw that she was unwilling to face those deeply buried memories, so he did not force her. He gently withdrew his affectionate gaze, restored his usual indifference, and continued in that cold voice: "Nothing, just continue."
