Country A, Gu Zhai.
Unlike the warm and sweet atmosphere at the Fu family's residence in China, the entire house here was filled with oppressive silence.
In the dead of night, even after taking sleeping pills, Gu Siting only slept for a few hours before waking up from a nightmare and, as if possessed, wandered into the cold, dark basement.
The girl in the wedding dress lay eternally asleep in the crystal coffin, her face still bright and beautiful, but she was pale and cold from head to toe.
Gu Siting sat on the ground, leaning against the crystal coffin, talking to himself.
"Weiwei, how much do you hate me that you torment me in my dreams like this every day?"
He always wanted to dream about her, yet he was also afraid to dream about her.
Because he always dreamed of her covered in blood.
She begged him to save her, but when he grabbed her hand, he opened his eyes to find nothing but emptiness around him.
He thought of Mu Weiwei, who had escaped from his grasp, and murmured to himself.
"She's so much like you, why won't she become you, why..."
When Madam Gu learned of the news while abroad, she rushed back but couldn't find Gu Siting. She asked several servants before she learned that he had come to the basement.
So they searched all the way here.
What are you doing here again?
Gu Siting turned his head dejectedly to look at his mother, who had rushed back covered in dust, and said regretfully.
“I found someone who looks a lot like her, she was so close…so close that she could have become like Vivi…”
Seeing him like this, Madam Gu was both angry and heartbroken.
"How long are you going to go on this crazy spree?"
Gu Siting shook his head. "I don't know. I just want to find something, something about her."
Madam Gu sighed, "She's gone now. No matter what you do, she won't know or care."
When Weiwei was around, he said he didn't care about her, didn't love her, and didn't want to see her.
In the end, she was really gone, but he became obsessed with clinging to everything related to her.
But he's gone now, so what's the point of all he's doing?
“This matter has escalated to this point, and the news of Vivi’s death can no longer be suppressed. We need to give Kaman Dorrance an explanation,” Madam Gu reminded her.
For the past few months, they have been carefully concealing the news of Vivi's death.
Ultimately, however, they still couldn't suppress it.
Kaman Dorrance's only daughter was fostered by the Gu family, but she also died there. If things get serious, they'll be in big trouble.
Gu Siting closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
"This day has finally come."
From the day she died, he knew that one day, Carmen Dorrance would come and demand her back from him.
He helped himself up from the crystal coffin, looked deeply at the person inside, and stared intently at the string of dzi beads engraved with Sanskrit in her hand.
"It's not that having this string of dzi beads means her spirit will be around us."
"But where is she...?"
...
Madam Gu sighed deeply and said wistfully.
“Si Ting, no one in this world will wait for you to turn back forever. You missed your chance. You can’t blame her or anyone else.”
Gu Siting remained silent for a long time; he knew he had missed his chance.
But he couldn't let go, he really couldn't let go...
She was always so close to him, and he thought that no matter how far he went, she would always be there when he came back.
Unexpectedly, she left in the blink of an eye, completely leaving his world.
No matter how hard he tried to win her back, no matter how far he searched, he could never find her again.
“Kaman is already on his way to Country A. You don’t have time to waste here,” Mrs. Gu urged.
