City Hospital, Morgue. The air was cold and damp, the smell of disinfectant sharp and unpleasant.
Lu Jing Shen stood before a row of ice cabinets, an inexplicable sense of agitation rising within him.
Soon, he found my name.
He pulled open the cabinet, and a cloud of white mist rushed out, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold. What came into view was a face so pale it seemed devoid of life.
Su Qingqian.
It was really her.
She lay there quietly, her eyes tightly shut, her complexion ashen, and her lips colorless, resembling frost-covered branches in winter.
The cold emanated from her, silently declaring that this person had already lost her breath.
Is she really dead?
Yet Lu Jing Shen still couldn't believe it. He couldn't accept that the woman who had once been by his side, laughing, crying, and making noise, had turned into a lifeless body.
He reached out, grabbing my shoulder and shaking me vigorously.
“Su Qingqian! Stop pretending! I know you’re not dead! Get up! Talk to me!”
His voice trembled slightly, a quiver he wasn't even aware of.
“Su Qingqian! Can you hear me? Don’t play this trick on me! Get up!”
He shook harder and harder, my body swaying helplessly in his grip without any response.
My head hung limply to one side, long hair falling messily across my face.
Lu Jing Shen's arms grew numb from the effort, yet I remained unresponsive; only the cold sensation from his fingertips seeped through to erode his sanity bit by bit.
Finally, he stopped, staring blankly at the lifeless face before him. A chill surged from his feet up through his body, leaving him feeling utterly frozen.
"Is she really dead? Su Qingqian, is she really dead?"
I stood right in front of him, watching as he clutched my body and shook me violently.
Is it ridiculous? Perhaps.
But inside, I felt surprisingly calm.
Death might be for the best. If I were dead, everything would be over.
The door to the morgue swung open, and my parents walked in with red eyes.
Su Wan followed closely behind, standing to the side with tear-filled eyes, looking as if she might burst into tears at any moment.
How theatrical this all was.
As soon as Mother Su saw Su Qingqian in the freezer, her legs buckled, nearly causing her to fall. Thankfully, Father Su caught her.
"Qing Qian... my Qing Qian..." Mother Su wailed, her voice piercing the air.
Father Su's eyes were also red; his shoulders trembled slightly as he mumbled something under his breath that I couldn't quite catch.
Su Wan approached the freezer and began to cry as well, tears streaming down her face like pearls rolling off a broken string.
"Sister... how could you leave like this... WanWan didn't even get a chance to apologize..." She cried while dabbing at her tears with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sorrow, sounding utterly heartbroken.
Apologize? Apologize for what? Did an apology take away everything from me? Did it cause my death?
Lu Jing Shen watched this farce unfold before him, feeling increasingly agitated.
After a long while of crying, Mother Su finally managed to quiet herself. She stepped closer to the freezer, examining Su Qingqian's face carefully and reaching out to touch her hand, which felt cold and devoid of any warmth.
Her face grew even paler, and her lips began to tremble. "Is it... really true? My daughter... is really dead?"
It was as if she were speaking to herself, or perhaps asking someone else, her gaze vacant and bewildered.
Su Wan stepped forward at the right moment, gently supporting Mother Su's arm and softly comforting her, "Mom, please don't be too sad. Sister... she wouldn't want to see you like this."
The mother abruptly shook off her hand, pointing at my lifeless body and shouting at Lu Jing Shen, "Lu Jing Shen! You tell me! What on earth is going on? How could Qing Qian end up like this?"
Father's eyes were red, his voice hoarse. "Jing Shen, what... what happened?"
Lu Jing Shen remained silent, simply staring at me with a complicated expression.
Su Wan spoke up again, her voice weak and trembling. "Wasn't Sister usually in good health? How could she suddenly die? Could it be that she took some special drug to fake her death? Haven't we seen that on TV? If someone takes a fake death drug, they end up like this?"
She paused for a moment before adding, "Could it be that Sister is just playing a prank on us?" As she spoke, she secretly observed Lu Jing Shen's expression, a hint of slyness flickering in her eyes.
I looked coldly at Su Wan, feeling a chill deep within me.
Even at this moment, she was still trying to sow discord and cast dirt on my name.
It was truly disgusting.
