Su Yu turned around without saying a word and went to get the first-aid kit to deal with it.

I touched my round skull silently, very embarrassed.

When Su Yu came back, everything was back to normal. He came over and patted my head. Then he said there were fireworks by the river tonight and asked if I wanted to see them.
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

In the evening, I changed into my own special costume – a wig, hat, sunglasses and gloves. With that, I was fully armed. Su Yu looked at me and laughed. I could figure out what the dog was thinking. I pinched his waist and bared my teeth at him in anger. He raised his eyebrows, lifted both hands, and put the mask on my face, making sure it fit snugly.

Then the compelling dog laughed more cheerfully.

Today is the seventh day of my death.
I thought for a long time what I should do on this crucial day. By chance, it happened to be the most suitable choice.
Because our first date was watching fireworks. It can be regarded as having come full circle.

It’s just that I haven’t figured out how to tell Su Yu and whether to leave or not. I haven’t even made up my mind yet.

After I went out, my outfit naturally became the focus of the street again, but because the handsome guy next to me was too calm, the people on the street regarded me as a performing artist and found it hard to keep staring at me. So we walked along the river bank like we had countless times, occasionally stopping at the roadside stalls, and passed through the lively crowd. Like the most ordinary couple, on an ordinary night, taking ordinary steps, waiting for ordinary fireworks.

When someone greeted Su Yu, I was drooling at the squid at a stall on the road.
Su Yu turned around and saw two acquaintances. These two are our mutual friends. We used to drink and talk nonsense together. They once threatened to rush to the front line of the bridal chamber when Su Yu and I got married. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, so I felt very cordial.

I grinned and wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t make a sound, so I just stood there. They looked at me like I was a monster, but they didn’t dare to be too blatant. They turned to Su Yu after taking two glances at me. dsWU9c

Su Yu: Both of you came to see the fireworks?
Friend A sighed: …How can we come to look at the fireworks? He just passed away. Today is the sixth day or the seventh day. How can I enjoy this stuff?

Friend B: Indeed, I feel terribly uncomfortable in my heart these past few days, so I don’t want to join in the fun.

Su Yu: I…

Friend A: Yes, indeed, it’s the worst. Do you need us to accompany you? At night, we can take turns guarding you. Staying by yourself in that house and always seeing his belongings will only increase your sadness. It will be better to stay with others…
Su Yu interrupted him: …Okay, got it. Don’t delay me from watching the fireworks. WtkFHy

AB: …
Friend A looked like he was doubting life: … What did you say you’re here for?
Su Yu repeated calmly: To watch the fireworks.
AB: …

Friend B was also a little dazed. In order to smooth things over, he finally remembered that I was standing beside them, so he quickly asked Su Yu: Who is this? Won’t you introduce us?
Su Yu glanced at me and paused for two seconds: My new love.
AB: ………………
The expression on their faces was wonderful.

A gave a forced laugh twice: …Yeah, that’s good. A few days ago, I heard that you even searched for soul summoners, and I was worried about you. Now that you have gotten over him so fast, it’s… it’s good.
B was also a bit embarrassed: Yes, it’s pretty good. Then you look around, we will leave first. Atn1Yx

Su Yu stopped the two of them: Don’t go. You really need to be here today.
Don’t talk about our friends, even I am a little confused.

Su Yu put down his hand and seemed to have changed his mind: Never mind. Fireworks are rare. Let’s leave after watching them okay?
Our friends looked at each other, and nodded in confusion.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

When the fireworks started, four people stood far away from the crowd.
Su Yu and I stood by the railing. He hugged me from behind and asked in my ear: Do you like it? HRIOb4

The splendid fireworks exploded one after another in the night sky, and the river surface reflected the colorful brilliance. Its beauty was dazzling.
I was in a very complicated mood and nodded.

Su Yu smiled and said: Then let’s go after watching it.
I was stiff all over.
Su Yu said in my ear: Today is the seventh day. I remember it better than anyone else.

129.

My mouth moved, but I couldn’t speak.
Su Yu then said: Do you know why the first seven days are special? According to the customs, this day is called “Night of the soul’s return”. It means that the soul will return home on this day. The family must prepare meals for the dead souls. When they are ready, they must hide in the quilt to sleep. Otherwise, the soul will not let go when they see their family and will delay their reincarnation.
Su Yu: But I don’t want you to let go. Otherwise, how would you remember me in the next life? yKTuLd

I moved, wanting to say that in fact, I don’t need to leave. There will always be a way to solve a ghost’s influence on living people. The big deal was that I had to stay away from him and could look at him from a distance from time to time.
Su Yu raised his hand and hit my head, saying: Are you thinking of something unreliable? Acting like a fool again, right?
I frowned and wanted to fight this thing.

Su Yu held me tight: I never thought of keeping you. It’s okay to live like that Daoist priest, but… I can’t let you be a ghost forever.
I was startled.
Su Yu then said: I can’t be satisfied. Knowing that you are by my side, but unable to see or touch you, I’ll go crazy.

I’m a little confused.
What was he trying to say? He couldn’t accept living like this, so just separate completely? What kind of reason was this?

A huge firework exploded in the sky and the air was filled with exclamations from the crowd.
In the gorgeous psychedelic light, Su Yu put his hand into the pocket and took out a diamond ring from it.
So let’s get married.
He said. Fk4aeL

130.

My mind was blank.
There was no thought, no action, just like a skeleton, fixed there.
Su Yu was still surrounding me from behind. After a while, he raised my left hand and put the ring on my gloved ring finger.
He said: There are fireworks, wedding rings, me, and two friends as witnesses. This is our wedding.
He said: Do you like it?
I was silent for a moment and nodded.
Then Su Yu laughed.

131.

I also wanted to laugh a bit. At the time, I rushed back from the Naihe Bridge to make a fuss at Su Yu’s wedding, but it turned out to be my own wedding.
Since it is my own, then… forget it.
Such a double standard. bSiTWt

132.

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief: I’ve finally tied you down. Fortunately, it’s not too late.
I looked back at him suspiciously.
Su Yu smiled: You are now a ghost with a family, so you are not allowed to hook up with other little ghosts. Reincarnate well, remember me, and wait for me to find you in my next life.

Listening to Su Yu’s unhurried voice, I knew it was just an idealistic fantasy.

I was a little sad, but I just nodded in a ghostly manner. 9zQuJf

133.

A bell rang once. It came from the horizon.
It was midnight.
My gaze passed through the crowd and I saw Big Brother looking at me from a distance, with a look of compassion on his smiling face.
The last fireworks exploded in the night sky, colorful and gorgeous.
Su Yu looked at the night sky silently and stubbornly. Even when the fireworks were gone, and only the dark sky remained.
He maintained his posture of embracing, but the things in his arms no longer had support and turned into a pile of lifeless objects again.
They would never stand up again.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

  1. It’s not over and it is a HE, right? So do they actually meet in the next life? I’m so curious!

    thanks for the chapter <3

  2. Please don’t tell me this is one of those short stories that just end here and leave me crying my eyes out.

  3. I’m just thinking of A and B standing aside and then SY drags a skeleton back home and maybe loses a bit of stuff it is wearing and AB see that… now it’s funny again xDD

    Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)

  4. Sweet. Lovely. Fluff. Such a sweet wedding. Although I feel second hand embarrassed upon the thought how he gets the skeleton back home. 😅

  5. #129 and 132!!!! I knew Su Yu was reasonable. What a big romantic cheese ball to say they’ll meet in the next life (even tho I was waiting for that)!
