“In Xingze’s diary, there were lines of lyrics that say ‘Living in the world feels like purgatory, but I won’t cry, I have no dignity left to give up. If one day these dreams should drown in the sea of people, don’t be sad to let him go. Treat this song as the last goodbye.’ He is gone, but I still sincerely give him all my blessings, may he rest in peace.”
Following that, Qin Zhou announced for all the guests to circle around to pay their last respects.
The guests formed a long line and slowly gathered around the coffin to mourn.
There was a small glass pane at one end of the coffin.
The small window was opened, and through it Gu Xingze’s calm and pale face could be seen.
He lay quietly in the coffin as if he had fallen asleep.
Mu Yazhe supported Yun Shishi as they surrounded the coffin in mourning. Yun Shishi tried her best to widen her eyes to see him for the last time, but no matter how hard she tried, it was futile!
She really could not see.
She could not see a thing.
“Xingze… ”
Yun Shishi took a deep breath and held back her tears to prevent them from wreaking havoc. She then said plainly, “Goodbye, Xingze! I will be strong and I will go on.”
With that, she walked to the coffin with Mu Yazhe’s help and gently placed a bouquet of flowers on it.
After the memorial service, Gu Xingze’s body was cremated.
The thought of him turning into ashes was suffocating!
Mu Yazhe watched over her from the beginning to the end. Although she did not shed a single tear, he could tell that she was upset, to the extreme that perhaps it was beyond tears!
He was glad he was with her.
Otherwise, she might not have made it through the event.
After the cremation ceremony ended, Qin Zhou saw that Yun Shishi was not in a good state of mind and asked Mu Yazhe to take her home.
As Mu Yazhe helped Yun Shishi out of the memorial hall, a group of fans saw them walking out.
The fans had been crying their hearts out. It didn’t help that the music playing on the radio was extremely sentimental.
However, when they saw Yun Shishi walking out, and that she was still wearing a pair of sunglasses, they thought that her performance was extremely hypocritical! She clearly did not shed any tears, but looked unsteady on her feet and even needed someone to support her.
Many of the fans jumped in to discuss and make remarks.
“You didn’t even shed a single tear, and yet you act like you’re exhausted from crying! Isn’t this too pretentious?!”
“I saw that she was in those sunglasses too when she went in. Who would wear sunglasses at a memorial service?! I think she just couldn’t bring herself to cry! She’s here either half-heartedly, or if not, just to ride on Xingze’s popularity! Shameless b*tch!”
“She should put her hand on her heart and reflect on this. She has come so far only because of Xingze’s popularity!”
“Yun Shishi, hypocritical liar, get out of the entertainment industry!”
Someone suddenly shouted at her.
When Yun Shishi heard this, she halted and raised her head in confusion. Immediately after, an unknown object was hurtling towards her!
She could not see anything at all, but Mu Yazhe’s eyesight was sharp. He quickly shielded her by stepping in front of her.
The unknown object slammed into his back.
With a thud, the object fell onto the ground. Mu Yazhe looked at it, only to realize that it was a high heel shoe.
His eyes immediately blazed with anger.
He looked up sharply and scanned the crowd, demanding in a sullen and sinister voice. “Who threw it?!”
The venue suddenly fell silent.
