Shu's mother's funeral was as she wished, and everything was kept simple.
There was no formal funeral ceremony, just a farewell trip by her relatives.
Shu Zhihan's body was gradually recovering, her face began to turn rosy, and her eyes became firm. She knew that she couldn't be immersed in sadness. She had to live strong for her mother and herself.
Lu He silently accompanied her, and the two came to Qingbo Lake together. The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the sun shines on the water, making the waves sparkle.
"Mother, you said that you love the tranquility and beauty of Qingbo Lake the most." Shu Zhihan said softly, her voice soft but firm, "My daughter will send you back here today. May you rest in peace at the bottom of the lake."
After everything was settled, Shu Zhihan and Lu He sat by the lake.
The breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples.
Lu He gently stroked her hand, conveying warm power.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, creating a beautiful picture.
They were speechless to each other, but they had the same thoughts. In this quiet moment, their hearts were filled with hope for the future and longing for their mother.
Shu Zhihan turned to look at Lu He, with a trace of worry and remorse in her eyes.
"Lu He, do you blame me in your heart? It's because of me that my mother left." She asked softly.
Lu He shook her head gently, with a warm light shining in her eyes. She held Shu Zhihan's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Don't think so. We are all sad when mother is gone. But what mother hopes most is that you and I can Live well and face everything with strength. If you do it, your mother will be proud of you."
With that said, Lu He hugged Shu Zhihan tightly into his arms.
In this quiet moment, the two hugged each other tightly by the lake, conveying warmth and strength to each other.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, creating a beautiful picture. Their hearts are full of hope for the future and longing for their mother.
Lu He continued: "You really don't have to feel burdened. This matter is something you have to face in the first place. Perhaps, for mother, this is the best ending." Her words were gentle but full of power, like a burst of energy. The spring breeze blew through Shu Zhihan's heart.
Shu Zhihan closed her eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She felt the warmth of the green lotus and her mother's love.
She understands that her mother hopes that they can live strong and not be afraid of any difficulties. She remembered her mother's words: "Life, no matter how difficult it is, must persevere."
The afterglow of the sunset casts a golden light on the lake.
Shu Zhihan and Lu He hugged each other tightly, and their figures set off a beautiful picture by the lake.
Their hearts are filled with hope for the future and longing for their mother. They know that this is what their mother wants to see most.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have no previous estrangement or dispute at all, and just wanted to be able to hug each other in the present.
Shu Zhihan and Lu He sat quietly by the lake, each other's breaths intertwined, as if forming a harmonious movement.
Their hearts were filled with hope for the future and longing for their mother, but at this moment, these thoughts were temporarily put aside, leaving only each other's presence and this warmth.
The breeze blew gently, blowing their hair, as if they were being comforted by a mother's gentle touch.
They hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their bodies, forgetting all the sadness and pain.
At this moment, they are just two girls supporting each other, feeling each other's love and strength with their hearts.
In this quiet moment, they all knew in their hearts that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were in the future, they would face them with strength, for their mother and for themselves.
By the Qingbo Lake, Shu Zhihan and Lu He cuddled together, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their figures very long.
Lu He took a deep breath and finally spoke, with a slightly trembling voice: "Zhihan, there are some things I have hidden from you, but now I think I should let you know." She paused and seemed to be calming down, "Actually, mother An accident may happen if I leave the water palace, maybe she has already made the decision when she chooses to leave."
Shu Zhihan was stunned and looked at Lu He, only to see tears welling up in her eyes: "What do you mean by this? Mother can't leave the water palace? Why?"
Lu He's words were like a key, opening the door of doubts in Shu Zhihan's heart.
She remembered the helplessness and struggle in her mother's eyes, and those late-night whispers that she couldn't understand. It turns out that the truth is so heartbreaking.
"Do you think that the secret passage you came out of was only there because you went there? Don't you know that mother knew it from beginning to end, so why didn't you leave?"
Lu He shook his head gently, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, "Actually, my mother left that secret passage for us on purpose. She knew that if she left the water palace, she would be punished.
But she was more worried about us, fearing that we would not be able to escape the fate of being trapped. So, she left the secret passage in the hope that one day we could be rescued.
Zhihan, do you know? A mother's love is selfless and she is willing to sacrifice herself for us. "
Lu He's words were full of respect and gratitude for her mother.
Shu Zhihan was stunned. She couldn't imagine that her mother had made such a decision. At this moment, she missed her mother even more deeply. They cuddled together, as if they wanted to pass on this warmth to each other, until night fell.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared on the lake, leaving a deep blue.
Shu Zhihan and Lu He cuddled up, facing the lake, as if they were isolated from the world. The chirping of insects by the lake sounded softly, as if whispering some secret.
"You know? Mother can't leave there. Once she leaves, only one of you and I will survive." Lu He's voice was soft but trembling, "I just didn't expect that mother would sacrifice herself. I also want to work hard to keep the two of us.”
Shu Zhihan bit her lower lip tightly to prevent tears from falling.
She looked up at the sky, and the stars were twinkling in the darkness, like her mother's warm smile.
Her heart was filled with intense longing and sadness, but at the same time there was also a sense of determination. She understood her mother's love and her mission.
"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mother's wish." Lu He said softly. Although her voice was a little trembling, it was full of determination.
She looked up at the stars, her eyes shining with determination.
Shu Zhihan also looked up at the starry sky, and she saw her mother's warm smile.
At that moment, she knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would go on bravely, for her mother and herself.
The two of them cuddled together and looked at the stars quietly, as if they wanted to convey this warmth to the whole world.
The chirping of insects by the lake sounded softly, accompanied by the sound of the breeze blowing across the lake, which seemed to be the harmony of nature.
At this moment, they all knew in their hearts that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were in the future, they would stick to each other and move forward together.
Lu He suddenly thought of this matter, and she looked at Shu Zhihan doubtfully, "By the way, let me ask you, why are you and Mi Yue injured?"
Only then did Shu Zhihan remember, and she asked hurriedly: "How is Mi Yue doing now?"
Lu He frowned and was silent for a while before speaking: "Miyue's injury is very serious. Although we have tried our best to treat her, her condition is still very dangerous. I'm worried..."
Shu Zhihan's heart sank. She knew what Lu He didn't say.
She thought about it and hurriedly wanted to stand up and said that she wanted to go back to save Mi Yue, but she was held tightly by Lu He.
There was a hint of worry and determination in Lu He's eyes, "Zhihan, don't be so impulsive. I have already tried, but I still haven't woken up."
Shu Zhihan was stunned. She looked at Lu He's firm eyes, and the anxiety in her heart calmed down a little.
Lu He's words made her realize that at this moment, she had no choice but to trust. She took a deep breath, nodded, and decided to believe Lu He.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met together, as if they had formed a tacit understanding.
They cuddled together, facing the lake. The sound of insects on the lakeside was accompanied by the sound of the breeze blowing across the lake, which seemed to be the harmony of nature.
Shu Zhihan asked her doubts. She always remembered Lu He's indifference and disdain towards Mi Yue.
Lu He was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "I know I had some bad opinions about Mi Yue before, and I don't want to see her die like this."
There was a hint of firmness and tenderness in her words, as if she was telling Shu Zhihan that the value of life is irrespective of each other.
Shu Zhihan looked at Lu He and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
Lu He glanced at her, smiled slightly, and then said: "However, you are right, I do not like her, but you seem to have overlooked one thing, I don't like you either."
For some reason, Shu Zhihan was not unhappy at all when she heard her words. On the contrary, she felt relieved in her heart.
She remembered what her mother once said, there will always be someone in your life who will make you understand what true love is. She looked up at the stars, a smile on her lips, and a determined light in her eyes.
At this moment, they seemed to have become the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Shu Zhihan leaned on Lu He's shoulder, and their breaths gradually intertwined. They seemed to be two people with a true sisterly love.
Shu Zhihan still remembered Mi Yue and was worried about her condition.
Although Lu He told her that Mi Yue's situation was very dangerous, she still couldn't let go.
She thought of Mi Yue lying in a pool of blood, it was an indescribable pain.
Shu Zhihan thought in her heart that she didn't have the ability to lose it again.
She has already lost her mother. If she loses Mi Yue who grew up with her again, then she really doesn't know if she can still hold on.
Her heart ached.
