Chapter 7: Final Farewell



Looking at their receding backs, Shen Yueyan said goodbye to them with a smile.

She put her hands to her mouth and yelled, "Goodbye Mommy and Daddy!"

"I love you all!"

[I will live the world you cannot live in for you, and I will do the things you cannot do for you.]

Saying goodbye in this sea of ​​flowers full of memories may be the best ending for them.

The moment they turned around, the beautiful lake in their hearts instantly froze into ice and could not be shaken.

With a snap of his fingers, his eyes opened and Shen Yueyan woke up.

She sat up suddenly, gasping for air, breathing heavily, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Her face was finally no longer as dazed as before. There was sadness, sorrow, pain, and helplessness in accepting reality. She was no longer a walking corpse, but a living person with flesh and blood.

She looked around with tears in her eyes, seeing everyone in front of her who were worried about her, especially her aunt. She had been immersed in her own world recently and had not noticed that her aunt, a strong woman, now looked like an ordinary woman worried about her child. Her face was full of vicissitudes of life, and her already bony face became even thinner.

She suddenly threw herself into Shen Lu's arms and cried unrestrainedly.

Seeing this, everyone quickly retreated, leaving the aunt and niece alone together.

Different from the overly sad atmosphere here, at No. 8, Back Street, Linyin Road, Ning Yifan and Ye Chen are preparing to open a new bar called "Encounter", which is currently in the preparation stage.

After five months, from the old autumn to the new spring, Shen Yueyan finally accepted the fact that her parents had left her.

She put the family photo back into the frame and placed it on the headboard of her bed, making sure she could see it the first thing she saw when she woke up every day.

There is still one problem that has not been solved, that is, the bodies of Shen Tiancheng and He Xiaoqing. When the accident just happened, they were taken away by Li Kun. Thinking that they would want to see each other for the last time, he froze the bodies.

Of course, this depends on Shen Yueyan's opinion. She lowered her head for a long time before deciding on the sea burial.

Her parents told her that they met in Lanhai of Yuncheng, which witnessed their meeting, acquaintance, love and understanding of each other. Let it end where it began. Let them return to where they started, just like before, let them accompany each other and never be separated again.

Li Kun nodded. As a result, just as he was pulling the body to the crematorium and about to cremate it, Shen Yueyan came running over.

It was followed by a sinking recording.

"Why are you here?"

Li Kun was a little surprised by their appearance.

He didn't want to upset his aunt and niece any further, and was worried that they would be even more devastated after seeing them, so he didn't want them to see them for the last time.

"Xiaoyan wants to see them for the last time." Shen Lu explained with red eyes.

The funeral home was very quiet. The staff were carrying the body inside. Seeing this, they knew what was going on, so they put the body down steadily and stepped aside.

Shen Yueyan stood there in a daze, staring blankly at that place. She stood there motionless, expressionless, without blinking, just staring blankly.

She didn't speak, didn't move, and didn't even react much.

Shen Lu and Li Kun did not disturb her, but just accompanied her silently.

After a long time, a tear fell.

Her legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, trembled slightly as she let her tears flow freely. She was still looking foolishly at her parents who had no body temperature. They should not be here. They should be lying on the soft and comfortable big bed at home, crawling into the quilt she had warmed and falling asleep happily, instead of lying here, waiting to be cremated and turned into a pile of powder and leave her forever.

Her trembling legs suddenly stopped, and she struggled to lift her foot and slowly took the first step.

She walked slowly, with heavy steps, towards the person she thought about day and night.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and walked up to them.

The moment their faces came into her sight, her heart leaked.

Her parents' faces were already pale, and their bodies were lying there stiffly.

No, her parents shouldn't be like this, they shouldn't be like this now!

She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief. She could no longer maintain her expressionless face.

She broke down, crying uncontrollably, heartbroken, tears and snot streaming uncontrollably, her heart-wrenching cries even moved the staff nearby who had witnessed many such scenes.

Chen Lu and Li Kun stayed by her side, fearing that she would faint again due to excessive emotion.

Chen Lu was trying hard to control her emotions. She didn't even dare to look at her brother and sister-in-law, for fear that she would collapse, so she just tried hard to hold it in.

Shen Yueyan knelt in front of her parents, her trembling hands slowly reaching out to their faces that had long lost all color. The warm palms of her hands felt unusually cold, a cold that penetrated deep into her bones and pierced her heart. She held her hands that had already been icy cold tightly, motionless, just looking at them, speechless and choked.

After staring at each other for a long time, Shen Yueyan finally let go of her hands that had long lost their warmth. Then she stood up, took a few steps back, knelt down again, and kowtowed three times.

Then he stood up again, bowed deeply three times at ninety degrees, and stood still for a long time.

After a long while, her voice, already hoarse from crying, slowly rang out: "Cremate her."

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

Chen Lu followed closely behind.

Li Kun shook his head helplessly and said to the staff, "Excuse me, please get started."

After the cremation, he put the ashes in a small box and gave it to his aunt and nephew to take back.

The three of them drove to the beach and boarded the ship.

Slowly the ship headed towards the sea.

Shen Yueyan, dressed in black, stood upright, looking extremely serious. She held the urn in both hands and looked towards the place where her parents were engaged. Her determined eyes were slightly red, but she did not shed a single tear.

She stood still for a long time, then slowly opened the urn, grabbed a handful of ashes with trembling hands and scattered them into the sea.

Then she held the urn with both hands and scattered all the ashes into the sea. A trace of warmth flashed across her eyes.

Li Kunchenlu accompanied her silently.

The three of them stayed on the boat in silence for a long time before they were willing to go back.

After returning home, Shen Yueyan immediately sent a courier, which contained a small bottle of white powder. She had already contacted a designer to design a bracelet for her. She required the bracelet to be hollow so that the powder in the small bottle could be put in without being damaged or deteriorating. The designer was her friend and also the official designer of a world-renowned brand, so she trusted her.
