The next day, Wang Yueming did not go out. Wang Lengsong seemed to sense something and stayed home all day, going nowhere. The father and son sat in the living room, the news playing on the television, both of them silent.
Two days passed like this, and Wang Lengsong seemed to run out of patience. On the morning of the third day, he said to Wang Yueming, "I'll take you to school."
Wang Yueming replied with silence. He maintained a blank expression and said, "I'm not going."
Wang Lengsong frowned and asked, "Why not?"
Wang Yueming remained silent.
Wang Lengsong stared at him for a long time before suddenly realizing something. His expression darkened as he coldly asked, "Are you threatening me?"
Wang Yueming replied, "I just want to know her whereabouts."
Wang Lengsong gritted his teeth and forced the words out from his throat: "Wang Yueming, don't regret this."
Wang Yueming calmly responded, "I won't regret it."
Wang Lengsong glared fiercely at Wang Yueming, who met his gaze with an expressionless face. They held their standoff for a long time until Wang Lengsong suddenly closed his eyes and sighed.
He opened his eyes and said dejectedly, "She has returned to Jiangcheng."
Wang Yueming: "……"
His pupils contracted, "Really?"
Wang Lengsong: "…… Yeah."
Wang Yueming: "……"
He finally relaxed.

When Wang Yueming filled out his college applications, he chose all his preferences for Jiangcheng.
He decided that he would find Li Ruyue no matter what.
However, he underestimated the size of Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng has ten top-tier hospitals located in different areas, each with various departments and different doctors in each department.
Wang Yueming didn't know which hospital Li Ruyue was in, nor did he know her condition, let alone her phone number, WeChat ID, or home address...
He knew nothing and could only search aimlessly like a headless chicken.
He spent a full two months running through almost all the hospitals in Jiangcheng but still found no trace of Li Ruyue.
Sometimes, he would doubt his judgment—
Maybe Li Ruyue hadn't returned to Jiangcheng; maybe she had gone somewhere else; maybe she was no longer alive...
Once this thought arose, it quickly occupied his mind, leaving him restless.
He desperately tried to convince himself that it wasn't true, that Li Ruyue was still alive; she had to be alive.
He kept encouraging himself and continued searching.
Three months passed like this, and Wang Yueming still hadn't found Li Ruyue.
He gradually fell into despair.

Meanwhile, Li Ruyue was living a secluded life in a private sanatorium in Jiangcheng.
She was in a car accident that injured her head, resulting in impaired vision. The doctor said she might never see again. Li Ruyue remained calm and accepted this reality. She transferred to Jiangcheng, undergoing treatment while trying to live her life. Because she couldn't see, everything took her a long time—studying, eating, walking… It took her a while to slowly adapt to this new way of living.
Two years passed like this, and Li Ruyue's condition gradually stabilized. Occasionally, her eyes would blur and she could see some things, but they were fleeting and not lasting. The doctor mentioned that her vision might recover, but they couldn't determine when that would happen. Li Ruyue didn't want to wait any longer. She decided to return to Jiangcheng.
On the day Li Ruyue returned to Jiangcheng, it happened to be the day after Wang Yueming had finished his search. He had searched every hospital in Jiangcheng but could not find her. He was utterly despairing. After returning to Jiangcheng, Li Ruyue did not go to school right away; instead, she stayed at home with her parents. She didn't want anyone to know about her situation, so she didn't share her contact information with anyone. She didn't even tell Li Min.
