I lowered my eyelids and said softly, "Xiao Cheng, don't go." 0
 
"Duo'er, I..." 0
 
"Xiao Cheng, today is our wedding anniversary." 0
 
"I know." He took a deep breath. 0
 
"I promise, I will come back as soon as possible. I won't delay our anniversary." 0
 
"But..." 0
 
"Duo'er, I can't just stand by and do nothing about Yong Nan." 0
 
I bit my lip and fell silent. 0
 
Xiao Cheng looked at me, his tone firm: "Duo'er, I have to go." 0
 
I raised my head and looked into his eyes: "What if I don't agree?" 0
 
Xiao Cheng's gaze flickered for a moment. After a pause, he sighed lightly and reached out to ruffle my hair: "Duo'er, stop it." 0
 
With that, he turned and walked toward the door. 0
 
I chased after him and grabbed his sleeve: "Xiao Cheng, please don't go." 0
 
He pulled my hand away without looking back and walked straight out of the house. 0
 
I stood frozen in place, watching his figure disappear at the door. 0
 
The music in the living room was still playing. 0
 
I walked over, picked up the speaker, and smashed it onto the floor. 0
 
The music abruptly stopped. 0
 
The living room instantly fell silent. 0
 
I returned to my room and closed the door. 0
 
Xiao Cheng... probably won't be back tonight. 0
 
In this round, Yong Nan won. 0
 
I locked the door behind me. 0
 
 
I took out the diary from the drawer and flipped to the latest page. 0
 
I picked up my pen, wanting to write something down. 0
 
However, it felt incredibly difficult. 0
 
I don't know if it's because I have already foreseen what is about to happen. 0
 
At this moment, my mind is in chaos. 0
 
Every part of my body begins to ache faintly. 0
 
I trembled as I wrote the last few lines. 0
 
“Xiao Cheng, today is our wedding anniversary.” 0
 
“You prepared a surprise for me. When I walked in, I smelled the aroma of the food and saw the decorations you had thoughtfully arranged.” 0
 
“You said you wanted to take me on a trip to an island.” 0
 
“But a phone call from Yong Nan shattered all of that.” 0
 
“Xiao Cheng, I once thought that loving you was my armor. But now, I finally understand that loving you is my greatest vulnerability.” 0
 
“I’m sorry, I’ve decided to give up.” 0
 
“Xiao Cheng, this is my last gift to you.” 0
 
“Xiao Cheng, I... love you.” 0
 
After writing those lines, the pen slipped from my hand and fell to the ground. 0
 
My vision began to blur. 0
 
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. 0
 
It turns out that when a person is truly in extreme pain, there are no tears. 0
 
My tears are not because of sadness. 0
 
Rather, they are because my body hurts so much. 0
 
That pain feels like countless vines fiercely tearing at my insides. 0
 
It makes it almost impossible for me to breathe. 0
 
 
"Shangguan Yunduo, stop struggling. 0
 
You have no strength left. 0
 
Just let it be. 0
 
Accept your fate. 0
 
I closed my eyes, and Xiao Cheng's face appeared before me again. 0
 
He remained silent, crouching down and holding me tightly in his arms. 0
 
'Don't be afraid, Duo'er, I will take you away.' 0
 
'Don't be afraid, Duo'er, I will always be with you.' 0
 
I opened my eyes, but all I saw was emptiness. 0
 
In the room, I was all alone. 0
 
I lowered my head and looked at the few lonely lines on the diary. 0
 
Suddenly, it felt incredibly ironic. 0
 
21 0
 
Xiao Cheng returned home in the early hours of the next day. 0
 
The living room was still lit, which brought a sense of warmth to Xiao Cheng's heart. 0
 
He quickly changed his shoes and walked toward the bedroom. 0
 
He couldn't wait to see Shangguan Yunduo. 0
