Xie Yanchuan personally arranged Xu Jinzhi's funeral, burying her beside her own father as per her request.
This was also the first time Xie Yanchuan had given Xu Jinzhi flowers because he had been allergic to pollen his entire life and had never given her flowers before.
Actually, he could have given them to her, but he wanted to make Xu Jinzhi happy by doing so. Yet, knowing that she would be unhappy seeing his allergic reaction, he didn't do it.
He was unwilling to do anything he knew would make Xu Jinzhi unhappy, so he never gave her flowers all those years.
But in the end, he still sent her a bouquet.
Throughout the whole process, Xie Yanchuan wasn't in great pain. He even felt somewhat relieved.
Relieved that she had passed away in autumn, without the torment of cold winter days.
Relieved that she had gone before him, as he had already put Xu Jinzhi through the pain of losing him once, and thankfully, she wouldn't have to experience it again.
