Art films are not suitable for impatient people. They have a long pre-production period and people always react belatedly.

Just like a twisted person, he needs a patient lover.

This is a heartwarming work that tells the story of a cellist who lost his job because his orchestra disbanded and had to return to his hometown in the countryside with his wife.

When he was looking for a job, he saw a high-paying job advertisement in the newspaper. He went there with the mentality of giving it a try, but found out that the job was to be a mortician.

To put it simply, it means dressing and making up the deceased and putting them in the coffin, so that the deceased can leave this world in a better appearance.

The protagonist was very conflicted, but his life was a mess because he had no source of income, so he went anyway.

Driving on the snowy road with a vast expanse of white ahead, he rushed to his employer's home again and again.

A job that involves dealing with the dead is destined to be lonely, but it is also full of sadness and love.

He has witnessed the mother of her deceased daughter breaking down in tears, seen an old man dying alone at home with no one to take care of him, his body covered in maggots, and personally dressed his deceased relative in his favorite clothes.

......

Art films rarely have so-called climaxes, and the plot progresses very slowly.

The screen was filled with cold sadness, so much so that it spread to Gu Yu shortly after the show started.

She took Su Huai's hand and placed it in her palm, playing with it carefully.

Her head also fell on Su Huai's shoulder. If there was not an armrest in the middle separating the seats, she might have snuggled directly into Su Huai's arms.

"Why, don't you want to watch it anymore?"

Noticing Gu Yu's depressed mood, Su Huai leaned close to her ear and asked softly.

Gu Yu shook his head sincerely: "No."

"A little..." She hesitated for a moment, unable to find the right words, "Um... scared."

The scene on the screen is the protagonist cleaning the body of a young woman, who looks about the same age as the two of them.

"Have you ever experienced death?" Su Huai asked.

Gu Yu shook his head again and murmured softly: "No."

"Then you are lucky, don't be afraid."

Gu Yu suddenly remembered that Su Huai had experienced death and faced death head-on.

She stopped talking, and they both remained silent in tacit understanding.

Until the end of the movie, Su Huai took Gu Yu out of the back door, and the two still had no conversation.

Gu Yu felt very depressed. This was not a movie with a tragic theme, and there were no tear-jerking plots.

In the end, the protagonist gained his wife's recognition of his job and understood many truths in life.

She has never experienced the blow of losing someone close to her. Even her grandmother, her father said, passed away peacefully.

If a person does not suffer from illness, does not die in an accident, and greets death in a peaceful and tranquil way, isn't it something to be happy about?

Because everyone will die, as long as the death is not too painful, it's fine...

"What are you thinking about?" After getting in the car, Su Huai started the car. She glanced at the car screen and it was exactly half past three.

Shen Bozhou's villa is in the suburbs, so if we avoid the evening rush hour and rush there, we will still have plenty of time.

Gu Yu looked at the red taillights of the car in front of him, and his expression was not relaxed.

“I wonder what it would be like if I died. Would anyone come and take my body?”

She said it in a joking tone, and the atmosphere was not heavy.

As expected, Su Huai immediately refuted it.

"You will live a long life, you will."

For a moment, Su Huai thought that Gu Yu already knew that she had heart disease.

After all, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. No matter how careful you are, there will always be loopholes.

She could blame Gu Yu for leaving without saying goodbye and hate her for abandoning her for seven years.

But she never wanted Gu Yu to lie on the cold iron bed.

After all...her Gu Yu is most afraid of the cold...

Thinking of this, Su Huai became more determined in his heart that he must speed up because Gu Yu could not wait any longer.

The car suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Gu Yu turned his head and stared at Su Huai intently.

Her eyes were extremely serious and aggressive, and even Su Huai felt a little uncomfortable.

The silence did not last long, and bursts of laughter suddenly rang out in the small space.

Gu Yu leaned on Su Huai's shoulder like a boneless person, looking frivolous and completely different from the extremely serious person just now.

Her voice was lazy and casual. For a second, Su Huai even thought that this person had recovered her memory.

"Don't worry, we will both live to be a hundred years old."

The house where Shen Bozhou lives in Yongdong cannot be described as a villa, it should be called a manor.

The manor is built against the mountain, with the gate at the foot of the mountain, the main building a little further forward, and the rest of the area is flower gardens.

It is said that Mrs. Shen loves to grow flowers, especially camellias, and she also likes ginkgo trees in autumn. So Shen Bozhou planted a mountain of camellias and ginkgo trees for her.

Because the entire mountain is so huge and there are no other buildings around, in order to ensure safety, the backyard of the main building is deliberately separated from the back mountain to form two parts.

If you want to go to the back mountain to see the flowers, there is a special passage inside, and the security level is comparable to that of a confidential laboratory.

Shen Bozhou has always been extremely particular about safety, yet the two were stopped as soon as they arrived at the gate.

There were dozens of bodyguards in black standing in a row at the door. Su Huai couldn't guarantee that there was no pistol on their waists.

The car window slowly lowered, and when Xiaohu saw someone coming, he immediately raised his hand to signal for them to pass, without even doing the most basic body search.

Xiaohu is the person in charge of the entire security work and is deeply trusted by Shen Bozhou.

He had met Su Huai several times and knew that he was a student trusted by his boss, Mr. Shen.

Su Huai nodded and thanked him, then continued driving slowly into the manor.

The interior architectural style combines the heaviness and stability of a medieval castle with the fashion and beauty of modern minimalist design. From the appearance alone, it looks youthful yet majestic.

One can imagine the amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources required to build such a house on a piece of originally barren land.

Gu Yu stared out the window and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This place is so big..."

But she still felt nervous, perhaps because she was frightened by the scene she saw outside the door just now.

After all, the presence of so many tall and mighty black-clad bodyguards with tense expressions invisibly added a lot of solemnity and mystery to the manor.

It may also be that the thought of the person she was about to meet gave her the illusion that she was going to meet his parents.

Thoughts are complicated and tedious, disturbing people and making it difficult for them to have peace of mind.

"What are you thinking about? Don't you want to go?"

Su Huai keenly noticed that Gu Yu's hands were tightly holding the seat belt, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

If Gu Yu really didn't want to go, she would definitely respect the other party's wishes.

Gu Yu slowly shook his head: "No... just... a little nervous."

Seeing his lover like this, Su Huai knew he couldn't help.

He could only lean over and take her hand, holding it in his palm like a treasure.

"Teacher and auntie are both very nice people, especially auntie. I think you will have a pleasant chat."

"If you feel uncomfortable, how about we not go to see them now and take you to the back mountain first?"

"The ginkgo trees on the back hill are now covered in green leaves. Although not as golden as in late autumn, they are still beautiful."

His fingertips trembled slightly, and Gu Yu's heart was filled with emotion.

From these conversations, we can see how important Shen Bozhou is to Su Huai.

On an occasion like today, it is neither right nor proper for them to be absent or go to the back mountain to watch without visiting the host first.

But Su Huai would notice her little thoughts and say that if she didn't want to go, she didn't have to go, and if she felt nervous, how about I take her to see the ginkgo trees.

She was speechless for a moment, and a strong urge arose in her heart.

The suppressed emotions brought about by the movie in the afternoon also burst out at this moment, and my nose suddenly felt sore.
