Chapter 139 Following into the Funeral Home
Cao Yuan froze on the spot.

He considered that the man might be Cuilan's friend.

But having experienced the modern information storm, he still couldn't help but think about other things.

He wondered if Cuilan's rejection meant she didn't like him, but rather preferred the man in front of her.
Although Cao Yuan didn't think he was inferior to that man, he was so infatuated that he couldn't compare them at all.

Also, what is Cuilan doing so late at night?

He remembered that this was when Cuilan was about to start her night shift.

By the way, he still doesn't know what Cuilan does on her night shift.

Was this man picking up Cuilan for a date, or to take her to work? If it was the former, should he give up?
If it's the latter, yet Cuilan wouldn't let him deliver it, but instead had this man do it, doesn't that prove that Cuilan has a better impression of this man, and not of him...?

Regardless of the hypothesis, it broke Cao Yuan's heart.

In the following days, Cuilan felt that Cao Yuan seemed to have changed.

He always made excuses to avoid going to and from get off work with her. Even when he cooked dinner, he would just leave it at her doorstep, and when she came out, there wouldn't be a soul in sight.

As Cuilan ate Cao Yuan's food, she felt bitterness, entanglement, and sorrow within it...

She sighed slightly.

Cuilan really wanted to visit Cao Yuan next door; in fact, she could easily do so.

As a ghost, she can become invisible and move freely through these walls.

But Cuilan held back.

If we really can't be together.

So, is it better not to disturb each other?
Unbeknownst to Cuilan, Cao Yuan next door was watching a horror movie and drinking late at night, tears streaming down his face.

Then, looking at her phone, she saw no messages from Cuilan, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Waaah, Cuilan doesn't want me anymore—

No!

Cao Yuan suddenly sat up straight.

"Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan, how could you make such wild guesses? How could you give up so easily? You need to find out exactly what happened. At least ask him face to face. Even if you're going to die, you should die knowing the truth!"

So, with this in mind, Cao Yuan secretly followed Cuilan the next evening when she went to work.

Cuilan noticed it almost immediately.

However, she did not stop it and pretended not to know, knowing that it would be discovered sooner or later.

It's good that we discovered it sooner.

Cuilan even hoped that Cao Yuan would discover something even deeper.

Cao Yuan followed him like this, and half an hour later, Cao Yuan slowly stopped and raised his head.

HA City Funeral Home!

Yes, Cao Yuan just saw Cuilan enter this funeral home!

Cao Yuan's pupils dilated. How did Cui Lan end up in the funeral home?

Could it be that something happened to someone in her family?
Or does she work at the funeral home?

That's unlikely.

To be honest, Cao Yuan had a certain aversion to places like funeral homes.

He was hesitant to go inside.

He knew what was inside, but...

Cuilan is inside.

Perhaps now is the time when Cuilan needs him the most.

Moreover, there are some things that always need to be clarified.

"Cao Yuan, didn't you say you should be braver?"

In the end, Cao Yuan gritted his teeth and went inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, Cao Yuan felt the temperature drop several degrees, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Cao Yuan, don't be afraid, Cui Lan is still inside."

The funeral home hall was empty, seemingly very busy; no one was in sight.

It's very empty here.

However, Cao Yuan still noticed some distinctive features of the funeral home, such as hearses, funeral wreaths, and urns. Further inside, he saw cold storage rooms, cremation rooms, and ash storage rooms.

As she drew closer, the temperature dropped even further.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Cao Yuan turned his head and saw two young men pushing a freezer. As for what was inside the freezer, it was self-evident.

"Hey, who are you? Is there something you need?" Xiao Lin, who was pushing the freezer, saw the unfamiliar Cao Yuan standing there.

Cao Yuan tried his best not to look at the freezer, and replied, "I'm looking for Cuilan."

"Oh, you're looking for Aunt Cuilan? Aunt Cuilan is busy right now. I can take you there, but you might have to wait until she's finished."

Hearing this, Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Does this mean that Cuilan works here?
Working at a hospital during the day and a funeral home at night?

Rescuing people during the day?

To settle the dead at night?

However, this is still better than having to go to the funeral home when something happens to a family member.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"Then come along, I'm about to help Aunt Cuilan with the things in the freezer."

Cao Yuan: ? ? ?
Cao Yuan was somewhat confused by these words.

If he wasn't mistaken, there was a corpse in that freezer.

What can Cuilan possibly do?
Unable to figure it out, Cao Yuan followed closely behind Xiao Lin, and soon they arrived at a house.

As the door opened, Cao Yuan finally saw Cuilan as he had hoped.

Just ...

Cuilan didn't seem surprised to see him.

"Aunt Cuilan, I've brought it to you."

"Ah."

"Oh, right, this is for you."

"Okay, I know him."

It's good that we know each other. Xiao Lin didn't say anything more and pushed the freezer inside with another colleague.

Left quickly.

After all, it's Aunt Cuilan's turn next.

"Cuilan, I..." Seeing Cuilan's calm expression, as if she had known he would be here all along, made Cao Yuan a little anxious.

There was no surprise or doubt on Cuilan's face.

but……

After not seeing her for so many days, Cao Yuan's gaze lingered greedily on Cui Lan. He realized that even without him, Cui Lan was still doing very well.

But he...

These past few days have been spent in a daze, living a life of debauchery.

Cuilan was also looking at Cao Yuan. She didn't expect that Cao Yuan would look so haggard in just a few days.

With a slight sigh, Cuilan said, "Come in."

"If you want to know what kind of work I do at night, then come in and take a look."

Cao Yuan glanced at the freezer, then clenched his fist and went inside.

What he saw next shocked him and shattered all his previous thoughts about Cuilan.

The door closed.

Cuilan opened the freezer and picked up a needle and thread...

Cao Yuancai discovered that Cuilan's needlework could not only mend wounds for obstetric patients and surgical patients, and embroider magnificent embroidery like "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but also repair the bodies of cadavers that were incomplete for various reasons, just like now.

The first time Cao Yuan saw it, the impact was so great that he immediately vomited.

But after he finished vomiting, he still came back to continue watching.

"If you're afraid to look, then don't look," Cuilan reminded him, her hands still moving.
