After more than ten days of solitude, Charlie finally emerged from the mountainside villa at Elys-Champ Hot Spring. Those ten days spent in isolation felt like countless sleepless nights for Charlie. He was preoccupied with thoughts of Claire, which prevented him from settling down and focusing on his practice.
It was now late March in the Gregorian calendar and the end of February in the lunar calendar, marking the season when the flowers bloom in Aurous Hill.
As the Spring Festival drew nearer, the Wade family began preparations for this year's ancestor worship ceremony. However, the decisions now rested solely with Charlie, so the elder Nathaniel Wade approached him to discuss the specific plans for this year’s ceremony, including whether it would be a grand event and if collateral family members should be notified to attend.
Nathaniel had sent numerous messages and WeChat texts to Charlie without receiving a response, so he left a note stating that if Charlie didn’t reply, he would take charge of the arrangements for the ancestor worship ceremony.
For Charlie, the essential question was whether the ancestor worship ceremony was truly necessary. As a junior, it was naturally his responsibility to honor his ancestors and parents during the Spring Festival, but it seemed excessive to turn it into a grand affair. Thus, while ancestor worship was necessary, he believed it didn’t require any extravagance. Moreover, Charlie sensed that he was in a slightly lackluster state. Given his current mindset, he felt he was even less fit to hold a ceremony.
