Zhong Kai sighed and said: "Shen Kuo means to be cremated as soon as possible. After all...his father has been in pain for so many years. Let him leave as soon as possible."

Lu Yan's heart was in agony, and words came to her lips several times, but she couldn't say them out. She lowered her head and her eyes were misty.

Zhong Kai saw what she wanted to ask and said, "He called you in the afternoon, but you didn't answer."

"I didn't mean to..."

"Before Uncle Shen left, he woke up for half an hour, maybe to reflect on his past. Shen Kuo knew he couldn't keep him, so he kept holding his hand and talking to him..."

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Lu Yan breathed out.

My heart is like a knife.

"He is very calm and not crying, but at this time, you'd better go in and stay with him..."

Lu Yan didn't wait for him to finish and ran into the morgue in a panic.

Beside the corridor, the tall figure of the young man was leaning against the wall. Under the overhead light, he pressed the lighter and lit a cigarette.

Under the incandescent overhead light, his eyes were cast into the shadows of his deep eyebrows, and his skin appeared unusually white.

Lu Yan's breathing slowed down for a moment, and she paused hesitantly.

She was suddenly very scared and didn't dare to go there...

As if feeling something in his heart, the young man raised his head and glanced at her.

He put out the cigarette he had only taken a puff on, stood up straight and faced her——

"Coming."

His voice was calm.

"Dad Shen, where is he...?"

Shen Kuo turned sideways and let the door open.

Lu Yan walked into the empty room with empty steps. The temperature in the room was very low. She couldn't help but shudder. She saw the cold body covered by a white cloth on the stage...

She walked over slowly, holding the white cloth with both hands, and wanted to lift it up to take a last look at Dad Shen, but Shen Kuo held her hand.

"Don't watch it. He died of illness and is not peaceful."

Lu Yan's hands froze and her eyes were sore again.

"Dad Shen." She called softly, and then took a breath, seeming to calm down her emotions.

"Dad Shen, don't worry, I will take care of Shen Kuo from now on." She wiped her eyes with her sleeves and continued: "He is not alone."

Shen Kuo took a deep breath, pursed his lips slightly, and without saying anything, he held her in his arms and walked out of the cold morgue.

In the corridor, a staff member came to ask Shen Kuo to sign: "Will you be cremated now?"

"Well, now."

The staff took the notebook away, then entered the room with several other staff members, pushed Dad Shen's body out, and walked towards the cremation room, mumbling and complaining about overtime work——

"I've never seen someone cremated so quickly."

"I heard he died of illness, maybe I've been looking forward to it for a long time..."

"People nowadays."

…

When Lu Yan heard this, she almost got angry again, but Shen Kuo pulled her sleeve and didn't let her pass.

"This world is not kind." He said calmly: "Why ask for it."

Lu Yan looked at him in surprise. His eyes were very dark, as if they were covered with a layer of thick fog that could not be resolved.

He was a little... unusually calm.

"Shen Kuo, this afternoon I..."

Shen Kuo interrupted her: "Lu Yan, when a person dies, he dies. There is nothing. He can't hear what you just said, so... just pretend you didn't say anything."

Lu Yan's breath caught and she suddenly looked at him.

Under the dim white light, his face was pale, and there was an unfamiliar cold look in his eyes: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"You want to be with me..."

She could never say these two heart-piercing words.

"It doesn't count as a breakup." Shen Kuo said expressionlessly, "Because we have never been together."

"Wha, what's not together?"

A frivolous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he pinched her chin hard, and said coldly: "You haven't figured it out yet, I'm just using you to take revenge on Lu Zhen and your Lu family."

Lu Yan was dumbfounded: "You...what are you talking about."

"Now that he is dead, I will stop. This is your luck, you know."

Lu Yan forcefully broke away from his hand and said excitedly: "Shen Kuo, do you think I'm stupid? No matter how stupid I am, Lu Yan, I will never be stupid enough to believe what you say."

She's not so stupid that she can't feel someone's sincerity or hypocrisy towards her.

Shen Kuo immediately took out his cell phone and pressed a number——

"Lu Zhen, I, Shen Kuo."

Lu Yan's heart tightened and she didn't understand what he wanted to do.

He sneered and continued: "Your sister Lu Yan is by my side now..."

"What the hell are you talking about at night!" Lu Zhen was woken up from his sleep and was very unhappy: "You're crazy."

"You'll know if you go to her room and have a look."

A minute later, Lu Zhen exploded. On the phone, his voice was unstable: "She...she's not in the room, what did you do to her!"

"What to do? Fall in love with her and then dump her. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Lu Yan suddenly snatched his mobile phone, smashed it on the ground hard, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Are you crazy? You have the college entrance examination tomorrow! You say such things..."

Lu Zhen has such a bad temper, God knows how he will react when he hears this.

Shen Kuo picked up the phone, dusted it lightly, put it in his pocket, and turned to leave: "When you are an adult, I will fall in love with you and then dump you. This was my original plan... But now, everything has changed.

It’s meaningless.”

Lu Yan felt cold all over her body and fell into the ice cave. She remembered Liang Ting's warning...

How deep this man is and how good at disguise he is, he is the main culprit who has been dormant for ten years and made Lu Zhen bankrupt!

He said coldly: "Go away, don't appear in front of me."

Lu Yan felt as if everything had been drained from her heart, and she turned around and ran out of the morgue door.

Shen Kuo closed his eyes, his whole body trembling... He clenched his fists hard.

He thought she was heartbroken and thought she was gone, but he never thought that the girl rushed over desperately and hugged his waist hard——

"I forgive you, Shen Kuo."

She spoke too hastily, with an unsteady cry: "I forgive you for everything you said and did tonight."

Shen Kuo suddenly opened his eyes.

The girl held his hand so hard that he lost his courage and was unable to push her away.

"I forgive you for all the lies you have told me. As long as one of them is true, I will forgive you."

With the last trace of hope and desire, she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Shen Kuo, are you there?"

Shen Kuo paused for a few seconds and said coldly: "No."

Not a single word of truth.

He pulled each of her fingers apart with force, turned around, and scraped away the tears on her cheeks with his rough fingertips.

"You see, this is what I want, your tears..."

He smiled and said, "You love me more than I thought."

Lu Yan's chest seemed to be filled with cold air, and with every breath, her internal organs were torn and painful.

My whole body hurts...it hurts so much.

"Shen Kuo." She stopped crying, and her voice was very deep: "You know that Dad Shen's death was not my fault, nor was it Lu Zhen's fault, so why punish me..."

Shen Kuo's heart slowed down and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because I am such a selfish and vicious person. Someone should have warned you before."

Lu Yan took a few steps back.

He looked down at the time: "It will take a few days to get the urn. I have an exam tomorrow and I have to go back to sleep now."

He turned around to leave, and Lu Yan suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes——

"If you leave, I will never forgive you again, never!"

Shen Kuo didn't look back, pulled off his clothes, turned around and left.

…

When Shen Kuo walked out of the morgue, light rain fell from the sky and fell on his face, making it cold.

It's obviously June, but it still feels so cold.

Zhong Kai was squatting by the flower stand and stood up immediately when he saw him coming out.
