But wait…
She couldn't figure it out…
The old woman recognized Snow Cherry, but why didn't she show any confusion when she saw his face? She clearly didn't know the host and didn't know about the host's plastic surgery.
Lesley was very surprised. She was silent for a long time and didn't mention it in the end.
"We don't know how to address you.”Lola asked.
" My name is He Zi. You can just call me He Zi…" The old woman's voice was hoarse." Your residence is in front. It's getting late. Rest early…" With that, the old woman turned around and was about to leave.
Lesley looked back. He Zi's trembling figure had already disappeared into the winding corridor with the swaying flames.
Kyushu Island, Heart Locking Castle.
The European-style stone castle looked majestic and solemn in the night. This medieval castle was built by the famous European family, the Suo Xin family, using Scottish sandstones. It was later dismantled and moved to Japan. Twenty years ago, the Han Corporation spent a lot of money to buy this castle. As time passed, this legendary castle did not lose its charm. In history, the King of Scots, Bruce, wanted his confidant, Sir Douglas, to bury his heart in Jerusha. However, because Douglas died in battle, Sir Simon kept the king's heart in a lockable box and brought it back to his motherland. At that time, the king rewarded Sir Simon with the name 'lock' for keeping his heart.
heart）。After that, the emblem of the heart wrapped in the key became the family emblem of the Suo Xin family.
Now, this castle had become the Han family's private residence. The ancient and majestic building had become the symbol of the Han family. The heart-locking flower emblem was still carved on the ancient stone city, peeping at another powerful family that could not be offended.
In the castle, the private doctor was walking back and forth in the corridor.
Han Shaoyuan and Han Yixiu walked into the brightly lit hall, travel-worn.
" The young master is back…" Little Mei, the personal maid of Fujiwara Shumo, hurried into the room to report to Fujiwara Shumo.
Fujiwara Shumo's face was pale. She was half-sitting on the bed. The room was air-conditioned. She wore a dark green wool shawl and leaned against a silk pillow with complicated patterns.
"Is-is he really back?”Xiaomei's words immediately awakened Fujiwara Shumo's misty heart. She opened her eyes, and her gentle eyes were filled with shock.
By then, Han Yixiu and Han Shaoyuan had already walked into the corridor." How's Mother?”Han Yixiu asked a doctor.
" Heart attack again. The critical period has passed. He just needs to recuperate..."
Han Yixiu heaved a sigh of relief and walked into Fujiwara Shumo's room with Han Shaoyuan.
"Shaoyuan…"
Fujiwara Shumo looked at the face she had been thinking about day and night, and her weak voice could not hide her joy.
The warm light from the European-style ceiling lamp reflected on Fujiwara Shumo's pale face. When mother and son met, she was stunned for a moment. It had been ten years, a full ten years, and the son she had been thinking about day and night finally appeared in front of her. She stared at the face at the door, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She had mixed feelings." You... you're finally back..."
Han Shaoyuan's face was cold and expressionless. He walked straight into the room without a trace of joy at the reunion. " I'm back…" Ling Ran's voice echoed in the room, and it was so cold that it was frightening. He stood beside Fujiwara Shumo's bed, and his pair of fierce eyes stared at Fujiwara Shumo's pale face. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes." When I come back, I will definitely find evidence that you killed Snow Cherry…" His voice was low and cold, and it carried a hint of fear. It was like a sharp blade that cut through everyone's joy.
" You..." Fujiwara Shutomo's voice trembled, and the joy on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by sorrow. Her voice was hoarse." You... came back to tell me that you wanted to find evidence?"”
"Otherwise, what else do you think? Do you think that time can erase my memories of Snow Cherry? Do you think that time can heal wounds and eliminate pain? Do you think that time can make me stop hating you?”Han Shaoyuan approached Fujiwara Shumo and finally brought his gloomy face close to her ear. He said in an even colder tone,""Let me tell you, time can do nothing. It can only deepen my pain and deepen my hatred!”
With tears in her eyes, Fujiwara's voice trembled even more as she tried to enunciate each word,"Xue 'er's death was really an accident. It had nothing to do with me…"
" Xue 'er, you still call her that…" Han Shaoyuan sneered." Do you even treat her as a daughter, a member of the Han family?"”
" I've always treated her as my daughter…" Fujiwara Shuimo's heart was surging with emotions.
"Then who is it that keeps trying to oppose us? It's you!" Han Shaoyuan pointed at Fujiwara Shumo angrily." If it weren't for you, I would have been with her a long time ago, and she wouldn't have died!”
" Brother, it's been ten years. Why are you still saying that?" Han Yixiu could not stand it anymore. He stared at Han Shaoyuan in disbelief.
Tears rolled down her pale face, and her heart was shattered by the anger and resentment. Fujiwara Shumo looked up at Han Shaoyuan with teary eyes and said weakly,""Shaoyuan, you really can't forgive me?”
" Unforgivable…" Han Shaoyuan replied hatefully." You better not let me find any clues. If you really killed Snow Cherry, I'll make you pay…"
Han Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and left without looking back.
" M-Mom, don't be sad..." Han Yixiu comforted Fujiwara Shumo." I-I'll go and pull him back..."
Waning tears, the fragments of her heart flew in the air like dead ashes. "Pay the price?" Fujiwara Shumo muttered. Her son wanted her to pay the price? She was heartbroken and expressionless. Her empty, tearful eyes stared blankly in the direction where Han Shaoyuan had left.
" Bro... Bro..." Han Yixiu shouted and chased after him.
" You clearly came back to visit her. Why did you say such cruel words and hurt her heart…" In the corridor, Han Yixiu reprimanded Han Shaoyuan.
Han Shaoyuan's face darkened. He didn't say anything and just walked straight ahead.
" Where are you going?" Han Yixiu shouted again.
"Resort…"
Han Shaoyuan replied coldly.
"Do you hate this family so much?”Han Yixiu was furious.
Han Shaoyuan turned a deaf ear and quickened his pace to the stairs. His leather shoes stepped on the winding marble stairs. He quickly walked down the stairs, making a constant tapping sound.
Han Yixiu could not understand. If his brother did not care about his mother, why would he reject his work and return to Japan overnight with him? If he cared about his mother, why would he say such heartless words? Did he really just want to tell his mother that he wanted to find evidence? If he really wanted to collect evidence, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until ten years later to say such heartless words when his mother was sick?
Could it be that he had said those harsh words on purpose?
He must have felt conflicted about his mother…
On the one hand, he could not forgive her, but on the other hand, he was worried about his mother's health...
" The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop. The son wants to be raised, but the parents won't wait. Brother, why are you so hypocritical when you still care about your mother?"
In the empty hall, only Han Yixiu's shouts were left, followed by the footsteps of his leather shoes.
Clear dew dripped from the cherry blossom petals, and the chirping of birds pierced through the morning light. A faint mist floated over Jingxi Lake, and the snowy mountains in the distance were also covered in a layer of light white gauze. Thousands of cherry blossoms on the other side of the lake swayed, and the resort seemed to stand in a sea of white flowers. Under the crystal-like blue clouds, the red eaves, black tiles, and white walls of the buildings surrounded by the sea of flowers became beautiful in the sun.
In the ancient house, Lesley sat cross-legged on the wooden floor. There was a tea ceremony in front of her and she was drinking with Lola.
"According to the requirements of the advertisement production team, you have to learn a harmony dance in the next two days…"
Lola said to Lesley," There are many dancers in the resort, but I actually heard that He Zi was once the best dancer here..."
"He Zi…"
Lesley picked up the white teacup, the steam rising in confusion." At her age, are her legs still flexible..."
"The main point is that there's a very famous local dance called the Sleeveless Snow Dance. I heard that the girl who knew how to dance this dance had passed away a long time ago. Now, only He Zi knows how to dance this dance in the entire resort..." Lola took a sip of tea." The requirements for this commercial shoot are very high. Although it's only a short two minutes, the director will also ask for perfection. Dancing the local snow dance in the commercial is one of his many requirements..."
"Sleeveless Snow Dance?"
Lesley held a cup of tea in her hand and looked out the door. The petals on the cherry blossom tree fluttered like snow.
"Miss Lesley…"
He Zi's trembling figure suddenly appeared among the thousands of flowers. She walked over and bowed at the door, saying,""Come with me. According to the arrangement, I'll teach you how to dance in the cherry blossom forest ahead today…"
Lesley nodded, got up, changed into a kimono, and followed Hezi out.
In the cool spring morning of April, two figures were moving through the snow and flowers.
Lesley followed Hezi closely and walked for a long time. They went around thousands of flowering trees and reached the depths of the cherry blossom forest.
" It's not difficult to dance the snow dance with a flick of the sleeves, but no one has been able to dance it well for so many years except for the dead girls…" He Zi stopped in his tracks, his voice full of sorrow and sigh.
"Why?" Lesley was surprised.
" Because there's no heart--no one can find the feeling of that dance..." He Zi replied." That dance was originally inspired, and it wasn't rigidly bound to specific movements. If we imitate it according to the rules, it would ruin its beauty. As the saying goes, the shape is similar but the spirit is lacking..." There was a deeper meaning in her words.
Lesley didn't understand the meaning behind He Zi's words and was a little confused."In those two days, wouldn't you be unable to teach me at all?”
