It takes an hour and a half to drive from the old house where I live to the funeral home in the north of the city.

At first, Du Hui was a little cautious.After a while, she gradually became slack.Taking advantage of the stop at the red light, she stared at the rearview mirror and asked, "Why help me? We probably don't know each other."

Although when she met in the hospital yesterday, she always felt that she had vaguely seen these eyes somewhere.But she had seen all of Chen Fei's friends in school, and none of them had such beautiful eyes.What's more, this person should be older than them, with a social atmosphere.

The young man who was driving smiled with his eyes wide open, "I have already explained the reason before getting in the car."

But that sounds like an excuse.

Du Hui was not used to asking the bottom line.She pursed her lips and said, "But I don't have anything valuable here."

The young man shrugged noncommittally, and continued driving without saying a word.

Arriving at the funeral home, Du Hui went to the office area to go through simple procedures. The young man stood some distance away, looking around frequently, and occasionally talking to himself.

"Let's go." Seeing her coming back, the young man said.

Du Hui noticed that his brows were tightly furrowed, as if trying to suppress and endure unhappiness.

If it's so unbearable, why offer to help?

What a strange man.she thinks.

There will be a small farewell ceremony before cremation according to the normal process.The small halls where the ceremonies are held are all semi-open, so you can look in at a glance from the outside and observe the movements inside.

Compared with the other rooms connected, the room they were in was too quiet.

The relatives of the deceased next door had finished reading the life of the deceased with choked sobs, and the sound of everyone's wailing almost broke the roof.Du Hui and the young man remained motionless, one left and one right, maintaining the previous standing posture.

Du Hui's eyes fell on the wrinkled face inside the coffin.Probably because the mortician arranged the remains in advance, the old man's face looked ruddy, and his lips were painted with lipstick, making him look younger than she remembered.

She just fell asleep peacefully.I will never beat my joints on a rainy day and show a wry smile; I will never go back and forth in the small kitchen; I will never ask her when I lose my memory intermittently, "Excuse me, have you seen my granddaughter?"

Sour water came out of my throat again, and it burned a little.

"That's enough. That's enough." It wasn't until the young man broke her hands away forcefully that Du Hui realized that a string of blood beads were emerging from the backs of her hands.

It didn't hurt at all, not as good as the burning sensation before.

She glanced at the young man and walked out of the small hall.After burning all the clothes you brought, the cremation furnace is ready.

Some people around were crying or sobbing, and some people couldn't afford to kneel, limp and unable to move.Only they seemed to escape all emotions, one stared blankly at the body, and the other couldn't see the expression clearly because of the cover of the mask.

Staff: "Families, let's say goodbye to the old lady."

Du Hui originally wanted to correct him, but there were only "family members" present, and there were no "family members". After thinking about it, she felt it was unnecessary, so she remained silent.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't kneel and kowtow, she didn't cry, she just played with the left brooch in her pocket.

"Hee hee hee, come on. Tell me your wish?"

The voice came again.But she...has no wish.

no……

No……

Perhaps, she has.The girl looked at the shell that started to move.

"Is there? Is there? Sure enough, there is... ah!"

The voice stopped abruptly, Du Hui raised her head and found that her ears were covered by the youth.As if completely guessing what she was thinking at this time, the young man smiled and said, "No, you didn't."

He gently but forcefully pulled the brooch out from between her fingers, as if he had no intention of returning it to her.

Since then, that strange voice has not appeared again.The body was incinerated at a high temperature and turned into a pile of ashes. Only the hard skull still retained its original shape and needed to be crushed manually.

Holding the tool, she froze in place, the soreness in her throat suppressed to the limit.

The young man took the tools, "Let me do it. If you really want to cry, just cry. Isn't it natural to cry at such a time?"

Just when she was wondering about this sentence, her vision was already covered with moisture, and she couldn't see everything in front of her clearly.Then she heard a series of trembling and broken screams, like a beast lost with its family in the mountains and forests.

Indulging in this incomprehensible emotion, she didn't notice that the young man was raising his eyebrows, and looked helplessly at the open space next to him.

"Now, can you relax a little bit?" He asked silently.

A gust of wind blew by, and the pile of ashes with residual heat scattered some on the girl's shoe, like someone's last hug.

*********

After sending the crying girl home, Qin Yue slowly drove back to the apartment.During this period, he encountered all kinds of stoppages, forcibly changed lanes, and deeply realized that the traffic conditions in the imperial capital seemed not suitable for him, an old driver who had a driver's license but had almost no chance to drive by himself.

As soon as he entered the door, the man sitting on the sofa reading the documents asked without raising his head, "You know you're back?"

Yin and Yang are strange, so be careful.

"I was too pestered. I had already left, but that old lady kept begging me. What's more..." Qin Yue paused at this point.He took off the mask and threw it on the cabinet in the entrance.Because he didn't rest well, a faint blue shadow appeared in his eyes.

"Not to mention what?" The man put down the document in his hand.When he found that the document was taken upside down, a look of embarrassment quickly flashed across his face.He added bluntly, "You are responsive to others' requests!"

Qin Yue didn't say a word, because he was afraid that Guan Yunheng would be speechless if he said "what's more" in the future.

Major issues to minor ones out.He walked slowly to the sofa in the living room, fell into it, and couldn't get up again.

After a while, he sighed, "Guan Yunheng, I'm so tired."

The man sneered and said, "You asked for it, you deserve it." Yesterday, when he got off the plane, he went back to the apartment in a hurry, but in the end, he was in vain.Today, I was fidgeting in the company during the day, with a long face, which made all the subordinates tremble.Guan Peng actually ran over and asked, did he quarrel with Mr. Qin?

Ha, quarrel? ?It's fine if there is a fight, he must meet someone!

Thinking of this, Guan Yun staggered his molars and tapped on the table, "Tell me, what is the reason this time? You won't ask Guan Peng to check things for you for no reason." He also read the information, he is a high school student , doesn't look very good.

Qin Yue continued to lie face down, with a muffled voice, "Someone took the order under my name, I want to know why."

"Then?" Guan Yunheng saw that he looked half-dead and exhausted, and went into the kitchen to make a cup of milk hot chocolate.

As soon as he turned around, he sat up straight on the sofa, and stretched out his hand with a playful smile, "Thank you."

He knocked off the hand with a "slap", rolled his eyes and said, "Hot. Make it clear!"

Qin Yue had no choice but to retract her hand, "In short, he was tricked."

He took out two brooches and threw them under Guan Yunheng's nose.

The man sniffed twice and immediately frowned.He took a step back and said in a rather displeased tone, "Smelly."

The orange cat stepped forward to join in the fun, "What the hell is this? Why is it so evil?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"I found it all from the person who pretended to be you?"

"The first one is. The second one was taken from someone else."

Guan Yunheng, who likes to pick out words: "Is there anyone else?"

"Hehe, it's a long story."

"Then keep it simple!"

"...Okay. Someone gave this brooch to the child. He kept one for himself and gave Faxiao one. But in fact, this second brooch has been kept by Faxiao's grandma."

"The old lady you're talking about is that little grandma?" Guan Yunheng showed a smile, and there was a hint of "not bad, it really happened because of meddling in other people's business".

Qin Yue: "..." Fortunately, he thought he passed the test safely, but it turned out he didn't.
