I go north, you go south

Chapter 160
After hanging up the phone, Nan Zishu and Ling Bei had already reached the last step of the funeral home.

"Mr. Ling, Miss Nan."

A funeral home worker in black overalls walked towards Ling Bei and Nan Zishu: "The deceased's body has been placed temporarily, please express your condolences first."

Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing this, but the staff's polite and thoughtful tone seems particularly flat in this situation.

"Our side has registered the information of the deceased as required, and the funeral hall has also been prepared."

The staff led Ling Bei and Nan Zishu to the direction of the auditorium: "How do you plan to arrange the next ceremony and the time when relatives and friends will arrive?"

Hearing this, Ling Bei quietly looked at Nan Zishu beside her, only to see that she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.

"It's enough to arrange the auditorium." Ling Bei took the words on behalf of Nan Zishu very kindly: "My wife's family does not have many relatives and friends, and she just hopes to be alone with her mother for a while."

Nan Zishu remained silent and didn't speak, and he didn't seem to hear the unusual address in Ling Bei's dialect.

The staff seemed to be used to all kinds of requests. After listening to Ling Bei's words, she still had a decent smile on her face: "Okay, if you need help, you can come to us at any time."

So after the staff brought Ling Bei and Nan Zishu to the auditorium, they retreated outside the door very cooperatively.

Looking around the empty mourning hall, Nan Zishu suddenly hesitated for a moment.She felt that she had done something wrong.

Like now, without anyone to see me off, will mom feel lost?

But when he thought of the mean faces of those so-called relatives and friends when he was desperate, Nan Zishu couldn't force himself to put down his dignity to invite them.

Finally, Nan Zishu's eyes focused on a certain place.

She stared at the portrait hanging in the center of the auditorium for a long time, but was dazed for a moment by the still familiar smile in the black and white photo, and her eyes were blurred again.

Nan Zishu walked quickly to Liu Ying's side.

Lying among the yellow and white chrysanthemums, Liu Ying was neatly groomed, and she seemed to wake up at any time and said to Nan Zishu with a smile, "Shu Shu, don't be afraid.

"Where there is mother, there must be your home."

These words kept lingering in Nan Zishu's ears, she could remember every expression and tone of her mother's words when she said them.

And I will never forget the irreplaceable peace of mind I felt when I heard this sentence.

But she no longer felt that peace of mind.

"Mom..." Nan Zishu suppressed the extreme pain in his voice, and his crying was so hoarse that he could hardly hear him: "Wake up and see Shu Shu, okay?

"Just say one more word to Shu Shu, okay?

"Shu Shu...really can't...without you..."

Nan Zishu sobbed until his whole body trembled, and in the end he couldn't even complete a sentence.

From last night to now, she tried hard to let herself accept the fact of her mother's sudden death as soon as possible.I also tried my best to cheer up and kept telling myself: This was an accident, and I shouldn't blame others.And in the future, I must become stronger.

But every time Nan Zishu saw that Liu Ying was lying there and sleeping, all her defenses would be shattered in an instant, and she couldn't control her emotions at all.

Why did misfortune happen to fall on me?
Mom, can she not go?
