Stealing Your Heart

Su Zhan stood outside the funeral hall, greeting mourners who were mainly relatives and friends. An unexpected number had shown up, and the car park was fully packed. They had to make some other arrangement.

After the memorial service would be the funeral procession.

Before that, the deceased’s loved ones had to bid farewell to him. Thinking about the impending departure with Cheng Yuwen, everyone felt extremely sad.

Right before they sent him off, the emcee read the eulogy. Turning to everyone, he started his speech, “Today, we gather here to send off Mr. Cheng Yuwen. As he departs from this earth, please remember that death is an end to the full circle of life. Just as the moon waxes and wanes according to its seasons, our lives are governed by life, death, separation, and reunion. Although Mr. Cheng may have left us, the sound of his laughter and the look of his smile will be forever imprinted in our hearts.”

“With that, I extend my condolences to all his loved ones.”

The funeral music began.

Everyone got up and bowed three times towards the coffin.

Finally, amidst much tears and crying, the funeral procession made its way to Cheng Yuwen’s final resting place.

The cemetery was located in the northern suburbs of C City, in one of the most auspicious locations they could find. They had chosen not to bury Cheng Yuwen in Baicheng. This was because the younger ones had already chosen to settle down in C City, and Zhuang Zijin looked forward to being buried next to him after she passed on.

The funeral finally ended at night.

Then, everyone gathered in the villa.

Qin Ya brewed some tea for all the guests. They had gone the entire day without eating, so she called up a restaurant and ordered a simple supper for them.

Even though the dead was long gone, those who were alive had to live on cheerfully.
