In Brusnitsyn mansion
The room which has been locked since the past 5 days has burst open at 1 pm sharp. Making all the servants finally get some colour on their gloomy faces. Butler Petrov and Sergei immediately came running to the dining room so that they were available to their master.
They immediately arranged the food in order not knowing why they were ordered to cook all their young miss's favourites. Only to be struck by the importance the day held.
April 21st
That's today's date.
Young Miss's Birthday.
Their eyes couldn't help but tear up when they think about their princess's demise.They placed all her favourite dishes as a tribute only to see theri Master breakdown. For him to actually fall on his knees thinking about the loss of his little one.His life. His sister.
"Lennie"
He called out in the empty dining room where all the servants left to give him some privacy. The empty dining room, hallways and the whole house resembled his empty heart. The sound of her name made his eyes tear up as he thought about his little girl.
He looked at the stroganoff, "her favourite", he said out loud in the room. He took a bite as he broke down. He kept eating as he looked at the chair behind him.
He slowly lifted his hand as he caressed the top of the chair which slowly felt like the crown of her head. He looked at the figment of his imagination with a sad smile as he said," Happy birthday Lennie". If he could only say I love you in person one last time.
Heathrow Airport
Xiulin paused when she looked at the date at the airport.
April 21st, 20XX
Her Birthday.
Today she was supposed to turn 24, then she remembered another person who always celebrated it with her every year. Cooking breakfast in the morning to serving stroganoff for dinner.Her eyes turned red.
Her Brother.
He is alone and she has to go back no matter what happens. She knows she can ever pay back the kindness the Jun family has shown her.
But she is selfish to go back to her brother in this body which has no right over it.
But it's hers now.
It's her second chance and she will go back to her brother. She didn't want anything else not even Bohai can fill her void sadly.
Her eyes froze as she saw a huge wallpaper on the airport television. It was an animated picture of a girl with her features with a greeting in huge black letters.
HAPPY 24, LITTLE LENNIE
The tears she has been keeping at bay have all broken down like a dam as they all felt like coming down at once.
Bohai looked around for Xiulin as he asked Zixuan if he has seen her. Zixuan who had Xiulin beside him just till a few minutes started panicking as he looked around in worry to find her.
Until he saw her in front of the television . He rushed with Bohai. Bohai froze to see what was on the tv to catch her attention so bad.
Zixuan moved to shake her. He raised his eyes to see what's on the television for him to only freeze.
"Elena," he said out loud.
Xiulin turned to look at him as he said her name out loud.
Bohai got out of his reverie and came running to talk to them.
"Brother, we have to get out of here"
"We are getting too much attention"
Zixuan could only nod as he took one last glance at the picture before using his phone to take a picture of it.
