Ye Linlang looked at her teacher and his wife and couldn't bear to look away.
Xie Xuning's hand rested lightly on Ye Linlang's shoulder, as if he wanted to draw some strength from Ye Linlang.
The teacher's wife gently lifted the quilt, and the teacher underneath was dressed neatly.
Not only does the suit fit perfectly, but even the socks and leather shoes are well-fitted.
He clasped his hands together and placed them on his abdomen, his expression peaceful as if he was soundly asleep.
"Xuning, prepare for your teacher's burial!"
Xie Xuning responded: "Okay."
The teacher left in a hurry.
In addition, when the teacher was young, he studied abroad and was exposed to Western ideas. He said early on that once he died, he would be cremated directly and did not want the burial method of the older generation.
For example, the elderly in the countryside, at the teacher's age, also prepared their coffins early on.
The teacher and his wife decided on cremation from the beginning, so they didn't make any preparations.
The funeral home has prepared the coffin.
The staff and Xie Xuning buried the teacher.
"Now you have to follow us to the funeral home for cremation."
Xie Xuning subconsciously looked at his master's wife, who nodded.
"OK."
When the group was about to leave, Master's Wife said to Xie Xuning, "Wait for me downstairs first."
Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning were both shocked.
Ye Linlang said, "Master's wife, I'll accompany you."
The master's wife's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled.
"I won't commit suicide."
She hasn't even sent her beloved away yet, how could she bear to die?
Even if she was going to die, she would only feel at ease after seeing her beloved leave.
"Then Master, I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Linlang made up her mind that if her master's wife didn't come out within five minutes, she would break in.
"Okay." The master's wife did not refuse.
The master bedroom door closed.
One person left, and she was left alone in the huge room.
She had never felt this room was so big, so empty, and so cold.
The master's wife changed into a black long-sleeved cheongsam with white piping on the edge.
She slowly took out a pearl necklace from the jewelry box and put it on, then took out a lipstick and gently applied some on her lips.
Outside the room, Ye Linlang stared at the time on her watch from time to time.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Four minutes.
Five…minutes….
Just as Ye Linlang was about to break in, her master's wife gently opened the wooden door of the master bedroom.
"Linlang, let's go."
The master's wife and Ye Linlang went downstairs, and the three of them got on the funeral home's car and went to the funeral home.
These days, cremation is not yet popular, so there are not many people in the funeral home.
Just as the teacher was about to push the crematorium into the furnace, his wife suddenly said, "Wait a moment. Let me take one last look at him."
With the support of Ye Linlang, the teacher's wife walked to the teacher's side. She reached out and gently stroked the teacher's face.
"I'll be with you soon, dear."
The master's wife possessed him and kissed his beloved for the last time.
"I love you."
The master's wife did not hesitate or delay. She took a step back and nodded to the staff.
The raging flames consumed her beloved.
From the second he left, he had taken away her energy and spirit. Now, the person alive in this world was just a walking corpse with one more breath.
Seeing his respected mentor like this, Xie Xuning could no longer hold back his tears which flowed from his eyes.
Ye Linlang reached out and held Xie Xuning's arm, giving him silent comfort.
"Children, don't be sad. Your teacher passed away peacefully. He didn't suffer any hardship. At his age, it's considered a happy funeral. Let's send him off happily. Tell him that we who are still alive will live well, so that he can pass away without worries."
