The Spring God

[Story complete] 1. Jing Chun was the twelfth Spring Goddess since the modernization of the divine offices. She held dominion over the budding and growth of trees. She had a Fusang tree bound to her life. Her soul dwelled in its branches, and they were as inseparable as lips and teeth, sharing joy and sorrow alike. Fusang didn't like to talk or pay attention to her, and Jing Chun was lonely. One day, Fusang's true form was gravely wounded. His tree spirit was reborn in the human world, where he could absorb the energy of heaven and earth and recover. Jing Chun couldn't stay away from him for long, so she too was reborn, as the daughter of his neighbor. Since they would grow weak if separated for too long, Jing Chun had to come up with all kinds of excuses to cling to him every day. Sang Xun had lost his memories and couldn't understand her behavior. To get back at him for his coldness, Jing Chun indulged in a wicked little joke: "Because I like you!" 2. At eighteen: Sang Xun: "Since you like me, how about a kiss?" Jing Chun looked at him with concern. "You'll... sprout." Sang Xun: "...?" -Inspired by Gou Mang, the Spring God -Just writing for fun, with tons of personal headcanons. A light, sweet little story Theme: Love and peace
