Su Qingzhang left very few things behind in the old villa. This journey home was planned both for himself and for Ziceng, so after giving the butler a simple order to tidy things up, Su Qingzhang suggested taking a walk in the Su Family's garden.
The cold makes everything on the north side of the garden appear younger due to the lack of sunlight, affecting both people and trees alike.
Pello stood in the study, looking at the Su Family's garden where the sole cedar tree stood, beside which Ziceng accompanied the wheelchair. She looked petite and delicate, wearing a windproof hat, her clothing too thin for the weather.
The cedar tree, said to be even older than Su Qingzhang, grew very slowly like an old woman with bound feet. Fresh snow from yesterday sparsely covered the spread out cedar branches, making both the tree trunk and the person underneath seem very fragile.
