death office

After several days of sunny days in the city, it started to rain again.Mulan was sitting in the small house on the roof, the curtain was raised, she propped her chin and quietly watched the pattering rain outside the door.Lian Jia huddled on the sofa like a boneless man, dozing off with his eyes half closed, while Lu Xuan sat behind the desk for thousands of years and buried himself in writing.

"What's wrong with you today?" Mu Lan asked without thinking.

No one spoke.

"You know I'm talking about you." Mu Lan's posture of propping her chin remained unchanged, and she didn't even move her eyes, "Lian Jia."

"It's nothing." Lian Jia opened his eyes, and his gaze fell to an unknown place.He said in a low voice: "It's just a bit of a sigh. People are so cheap, and they never know how to cherish people who are good to them."

Lu Xuan's writing hand stopped, he looked up at him, and continued to lower his head without saying a word.

Mu Lan turned to look at him: "Why?"

"Because I was such a person before." Lian Jia smiled softly.

"Do you remember the past?" Mu Lan asked.

"Yeah, I remember." Lian Jia didn't react too much when he mentioned the past, a little bit lacking in interest.

Mu Lan was a little puzzled: "Why do you remember?"

Lian Jia tilted his head and smiled mysteriously at her: "I won't tell you."

Mu Lan rolled her eyes towards the sky, pretending to be mysterious and saying half of what she said is really annoying! ...

In the evening, the rain stopped.

Duan Zhu was sitting in the back seat of a taxi wearing a water-blue dress, holding a bouquet of daisies, and a small bag on his shoulders. His face was pale from long-term illness, and his long curly hair was hanging loose. Tired, as if about to fall down at any moment.

The driver sneaked a few glances at her in the rearview mirror, but she didn't pay attention. She just looked out the window quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The car drove towards Nanshan Cemetery.

The scenery along the way quickly retreated backwards in sight.

Duan Zhu remembered that Lu Qing once said to her, "I see what you will do if you don't have me in the future." Yes, what should you do?She never thought about what her life would be like without Lu Qing. She always felt that such a thing was too far away from her, and she didn't even bother to spend so much time on it.

But I never thought of such a joke, but it became a prophecy.

—— "I will take care of you in the future."

——"Little ancestor, don't cry, I feel distressed when I see it."

——"What are you thinking about so much? I'm here."

Lu Qing, you liar!

When she got out of the car, she wobbled twice, if she hadn't raised her hand to hold the car door, she would have almost fallen forward.

"Girl, are you okay?" the driver asked with concern.

Duan Zhu waved his hands, and walked up the mountain with the flowers in his arms.

After the rain, the air is a bit humid, mixed with the smell of green grass and soil, which smells very comfortable.

Duan Zhu remembered that when he first dated Lu Qing, it was on Zhishan Mountain in the outskirts of the city, and the weather was like this after the rain.They pitched a tent on the top of the mountain and slept for the night.They kissed in the morning sun, surrounded by the smell of dew, so beautiful that she would feel heartbroken and unable to breathe when recalling this scene.

Lu Qing's tomb is on the top of the mountain.She walked for a long time, and when she reached the top of the mountain, the sky was completely dark, and a bright moon hung slantingly on the horizon.

She put the flowers in front of Lu Qing's tombstone. The night was dark, and she couldn't see the photo on the tombstone clearly.She stretched out her hand, touched the photo with her fingertips, then retracted it abruptly, curled up by her side.

"I thought you wouldn't come." A familiar voice came from behind.

She only felt that her eyes were sore, and she rubbed them with her hands before turning around.Lu Qing was still wearing a police uniform, standing in front of her, under the moonlight, her brows and eyes were as cold and gentle as ever.

The tears finally got out of control and burst out.

"I really, really didn't do it on purpose." She already had severe pulmonary heart disease and couldn't breathe when she cried. "I forgot, I don't know why I just forgot, I, I really"

"Okay, baby, don't cry, I don't blame you." Lu Qing hugged her into his arms, wiped away her tears, looked at her teary eyes, and sighed softly. "I'm just worried that you can't take care of yourself."

Duan Zhu didn't know what to say, but he hugged her even tighter with his hands.

"Azhu, you must take good care of yourself. Wear more clothes when it's cold, don't walk on the floor barefoot, remember to go to the pharmacy to buy the medicine after you take it, and try to cook some dishes according to the recipe, don't always Order takeaway, don't eat cold food, take a shower at night and dry your hair before going to sleep, don't kick the quilt when you sleep." Lu Qing babbled for a long time, while Duan Zhu listened quietly.

"You! I told you before that you were always impatient. Now, you can finally listen to me quietly."

Duan Zhu whispered, "I'm afraid I won't hear it again."

Lu Qing fell silent.

"Lu Qing, do you know how grateful I am?"

"what?"

"I'm an orphan. I spent my whole life living alone, but God was kind to me. Before I was 20 years old, the dean took care of me, and I met you after 20 years old. Lu Qing, I always felt that I could meet you , I have exhausted all my luck in this life, so even if I die now, I will not have any regrets."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Duan Zhu smiled lightly: "What I said is true. You also know about my illness. It is a great fortune to be able to live till now. I told you about my childhood. I have been in the orphanage for so many years. , The person I have seen the most is a doctor. At the beginning, many doctors said that I would not live to be 16 years old. Unexpectedly, I could live in this world for another 6 years. I am already very satisfied."

"Azhu"

"Don't talk, listen to me." Duan Zhu interrupted her, "I used to be selfish and willful, because I wanted you to bore me, when I left you, you mostly remembered my bad things Impression, so that you won't be too sad. But I didn't expect that you would indulge my selfishness and willfulness in this way, and be responsive to my requests. I think, there will never be anyone who treats me like you in the future. Lu Qing, thank you very much, and, I'm sorry."

"Lu Qing, I used to think you were long-winded. I didn't have the patience to listen to you telling things over and over again. I always interrupted you because I knew I couldn't take care of myself, but you are You can take care of me. Lu Qing, I depend on you so much, why are you willing to leave me?"

Lu Qing hugged her even tighter, and buried his head deep in her hair: "I don't want to, why should I?"

"Lu Qing"

"Ok?"

"Lu Qing."

"Well, I'm here."

"Lu Qing."

"I'm here."

"Lu Qing," Duan Zhu's tears fell, "I love you."

Lu Qing released her from his arms, looked into her eyes: "I love you too."

The moonlight of the night was like water, and occasionally a few tiny stars shone in the sky, falling in Lu Qing's eyes, shining like broken diamonds.

They kiss under the night sky.

Duan Zhu watched Lu Qing turn into nothingness in a blurred vision. She panicked, but couldn't keep anything. Even the temperature of her fingertips that touched her was slowly fading away, leaving only one A little cold.

Duan Zhu sat in front of Lu Qing's tombstone all night. In the morning, the dew was heavy and wet her hair.

When the first rays of sunlight hit the ground, she finally moved her stiff body and stood up.

"I'm leaving. I'll see you later." She smiled at the person in the photo, "If I'm still alive."...

By the time I got home again, it was almost noon.Duan Zhu looked at the unfinished painting in the middle of the living room, paused, and sat in front of the painting.As soon as she started to write, she hardly had to spend a little effort to imagine, Lu Qing's face was presented on the drawing paper.

After more than half an hour, the painting was completed.

In the painting, Lu Qing, dressed in white, closed his eyes and opened his arms in the sunshine, embracing the large sea of ​​golden flowers.Her short short hair clung to her cheeks, and there was a vague smile on her face.

——Aren’t you always curious why my paintings always give people warmth?Because you are my sunshine.

"The painting is not bad." Lian Jia appeared again at some time, sitting on the sofa and watching her.

Duan Zhu's sitting posture did not change, she stared at the person in the painting, and said in a low voice: "I got her into trouble."

Lian Jia sneered: "Is it only now that I regret it?"

"Yes, I regret it." Duan Zhu closed his eyes and suppressed the pain from his chest, but his face turned paler, "It would be great if I was the one who died."

"You are really selfish."

Duan Zhu covered his mouth, but he still couldn't hold back his cough, and there was an abnormal rash on his pale face.

"It's not a cough! Isn't it always like this?"

Seeing her suffering, Lian Jia's eyes moved. Before he could move, Mu Lan appeared from nowhere, handed Duan Zhu a handful of medicine and a glass of water, and gave Lian Jia a glare.

Lian Jia pouted, but said nothing.

Duan Zhu took the medicine, looked at the two of them, and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you for allowing me to see Lu Qing for the last time."

"It's just work." Mu Lan always put on a businesslike expression, which looked a little funny on her childish face.

"Then what are you doing here today?"

Lian Jia waved his hand: "I didn't want to come, but Alan forced me to come."

Mu Lan rolled her eyes at him: "You are in charge of this task, I'm just an assistant. Besides"

"Besides, Lu Xuan asked you to watch me." Lian Jia interrupted her, "What is there to worry about? My qualifications are higher than yours."

"Ask him about this!"

Lian Jia suddenly had nothing to say, he turned his head and looked at Duan Zhu: "Actually, it's nothing, I just care about the task target. Do you have any other requests? If we can do it, we will try our best to meet it. "

Duan Zhu didn't speak.

"If there is nothing else, then we will leave first." Lian Jia seemed to be unable to bear her silence, and wanted to leave urgently.

"Wait a minute!" Duan Zhu called to stop him.

She picked up a pencil and wrote a few strokes in the lower right corner of the painting, then took it down and showed it to Lianjia.

"This painting, if you can still see Lu Qing, please help me give this painting to her." She paused, then said, "If you can't see it, just put it in front of her tombstone .”

"You can go by yourself." Mu Lan looked at the words "Mysunshine" written in pencil on the painting and said.

Duan Zhu smiled miserably: "Aren't you here to listen to my funeral?"

Lian Jia and Mu Lan were silent.

"Thank you, I am very satisfied to see her for the last time. Please fulfill my last wish." Duan Zhu smiled at them, "Can I ask you to leave now? I want to be alone for a while .”

A week later, a neighbor reported the incident to the police.

Duan Zhu committed suicide by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills.

She died peacefully, wearing a light blue dress, lying quietly on the bed, as if falling asleep, dreaming a very sweet dream.

Just like what Lu Qing saw in the hospital.

With just one look, you lose your soul.
