Chapter 278 (1/2)
The day after Xi Xuewei's engagement, Qiao Yi was buried.
Because Qiao Yi has no relatives, the police find Tong wanwan, who informs Su Jinse.
So there are only two of them at Qiao Yi's funeral.
It's raining heavily today. Mo Hui holds an umbrella for Su Jinse, and Tong wanwan holds Qiao Yi's ashes box in her arms.
Big drops of rain hit the umbrella cloth, and then fell on the ground. After a while, they formed small puddles.
Tong wanwan arranges Qiao Yi's tomb next to the tombstone next to Qiao Sheng. Tong wanwan says that they were brothers before their lives and that they can be neighbors after their death.
The picture on Qiao Yi's tombstone is about his college years, very green, grinning very happy.
Looking at Qiao Yi like this, Su Jinse is a stranger.
Tong Wan sighed and said in a low voice, ”I knew it would be so miserable for him to leave Qiao's house, so I left him a way back.”
Su Jinse takes out Qiao Yi's favorite snacks from the lunch box.
He likes mung bean cake, which is very oily, sweet and killing.
The mung bean cake was made by Aunt Liu. She was dying of crying. The old housekeeper fell ill and didn't get up for several days. Su Jinse was worried about their health and didn't let them come.
Qiao Yi didn't make friends all over the world before, but there were still many friends around him, none of them came today.
Only the furtive reporters secretly photographed Qiao Yi's poor and desolate funeral.
It is estimated that tomorrow's headlines will be such titles as the miserable ending of the former 10 billion president and so on.
Su Jinse asked Mo Hui to drive the reporters away, not to give them this opportunity.
The rain was too heavy to make incense. As soon as the censer was put out, it was full of rain, making the ash of the censer paste.
There was no ceremony, only the cemetery staff put the urn into the tomb and sealed it with cement.
Originally today, the characters on the tombstone were painted with gold paint, but today it rained, and they can only be painted when it was sunny. So now the characters on Qiao Yi's tombstone are gray. In the misty rain, we can't see Qiao Yi's name clearly.
Generally speaking, the names on the tombstone are written in the tone of relatives or friends, such as loving father, loving mother, elder brother, etc., but Qiao Yi has no relatives, no wife, he is not who of whom,.
There is only his name on the tombstone, Qiao Yi, alone.
Born in, died in, simple almost scribble.
When the funeral was almost finished, tanye came.
He was holding a black umbrella and wearing a black coat. From a distance, he looked like a moving tree.
Standing in front of Qiao Yi's grave and looking at his tombstone for a long time, Tan Ye says with emotion: ”I thought Qiao Yi would fight with me all my life. I didn't expect that he would die so early.”
Su Jinse doesn't even know the meaning of schadenfreude. It's not too bad for him.
Su Jinse takes out a handkerchief to wipe off the water drops on Qiao Yi's photo, but it's raining all the time. This way, it's clean, and that way, it's raining again.
The rain was dripping on the back of her pale hand, and the green silk handkerchief was soaked through.
”Don't wipe it. It's raining so hard.” Said tanye.
She didn't seem to hear it. She wiped it again and again, and the rain came up again and again. After several times, Qiao Yi's photos were polished and his eyes seemed to be shining.
The staff sealed the grave with cement, and Mo Hui gave a tip. The whole funeral was over.
The rain stopped suddenly, as if there was a tap in the sky, someone turned on the switch, and suddenly stopped.
Mo Hui takes up his umbrella, and Su Jinse looks up at the gray sky. At this time, a blue gray bellied bird comes low from the distance and stops on Qiao Yi's tombstone.
This bird looks a little familiar. Su Jinse seems to have seen it somewhere.
