But in the bedroom, there was no one.
There was no one in the study either.
Even in the room where Shangguan Yunduo once stayed, there was no sign of her.
Xiao Cheng searched every corner of the house but could not find Shangguan Yunduo.
Where did she go?
On the dining table in the living room, last night's cold meal was still laid out.
Xiao Cheng remembered that when he left home last night, Shangguan Yunduo had not eaten yet.
Could it be that she hadn't eaten at all?
Was she waiting for him?
Xiao Cheng felt a surge of guilt.
And there were remnants of the speaker lying in the corner of the living room.
"Duo'er, are you angry?"
"Where did you hide?"
At first, Xiao Cheng wasn't too worried.
He thought Shangguan Yunduo had just gone on a trip and would be back in a few days.
Once he explained what happened last night, she should no longer be upset.
However, days passed, and Shangguan Yunduo still had not returned home.
There was no news from her at all.
Xiao Cheng called her, but her phone was always off.
A sense of unease began to grow in Xiao Cheng's heart.
He went to Shangguan Yunduo's workplace.
Her colleague informed him that Shangguan Yunduo had resigned three months ago.
Xiao Cheng then called Shangguan Yunduo's mother.
Her mother said she hadn't seen Shangguan Yunduo for a month.
Finally, Shangguan Yunduo's mother told him, "Acheng, if you see Duo'er, please tell her to take her bank card back."
Xiao Cheng felt a bad premonition in his heart.
He recalled the unusual behavior of Shangguan Yunduo during this time.
Xiao Cheng finally realized that Shangguan Yunduo might be hiding something from him.
He began to investigate.
He discovered that Shangguan Yunduo's life had suddenly become very simple.
She frequently went to the hospital.
Xiao Cheng's brow twitched sharply.
The hospital...
Shangguan Yunduo had always been in good health; he had never heard of her having any issues.
But why did she go to the hospital?
Xiao Cheng continued to investigate.
He found Shangguan Yunduo's social media account and her dashcam footage.
He discovered that Shangguan Yunduo's life, which seemed simple, was actually not normal.
Xiao Cheng began to panic.
Shangguan Yunduo, what on earth are you hiding from me?
However, it was as if Shangguan Yunduo had evaporated from the world; he couldn't find her anywhere.
Xiao Cheng was almost going crazy.
A month passed like this.
Then Xiao Cheng received a phone call.
The voice on the other end sounded familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was.
It said—
"Xiao Cheng, Shangguan Yunduo has passed away."
Xiao Cheng rushed to the place where Shangguan Yunduo had died.
It was the island sanatorium where she had lived.
In the sanatorium, there was a young woman who said she was Shangguan Yunduo's caregiver.
When the woman saw Xiao Cheng, her eyes were filled with indifference.
She handed Xiao Cheng Shangguan Yunduo's diary and some other notebooks.
"Miss Shangguan asked me to burn these things, but I thought you should take a look."
There was dissatisfaction in the woman's gaze.
Xiao Cheng knew she was blaming him for not being with Shangguan Yunduo.
But how could he have known that Shangguan Yunduo was sick?
If he had known, he would have definitely stayed by her side.
The woman glanced at Xiao Cheng and sighed.
"Actually, you can't be blamed."
"Miss Shangguan is too good at enduring."
"She must really love you, that's why she kept it from you."
"She was afraid that if you found out, you would feel guilty and sad."
"She truly loves you."
