Xiangzi looked at Xiao Cheng and felt extremely scared inside.
He had never seen Xiao Cheng like this before.
He was afraid of what Xiao Cheng might do.
He pushed Xiao Cheng away and ran out.
Xiao Cheng stood there in a daze, staring at the pale wall in front of him, finally breaking down in tears.
Xiao Cheng closed the company.
He accompanied Pipi, retracing the paths they once walked together.
He followed the recipes left to him by Yun Duo, diligently learning to cook.
He made delicious meals, but always felt they were not as good as those made by Yun Duo.
He began to suffer from insomnia, flipping through Yun Duo's diary, reading it over and over again.
The diary was filled with her longing for him.
"March 1st, Wednesday, Sunny.
"Today, Xiao Cheng took the initiative to talk to me for the first time. He asked me, 'What are you doing here?' Haha, what a silly question.
"March 8th, Tuesday, Overcast.
"Today, I saw Xiao Cheng with a girl. They looked very compatible. I think I should give up. But why does my heart still ache so much?
"March 13, Sunday, Sunny.
"Today, I mustered the courage to confess my feelings to Xiao Cheng. He was silent for a long time before he replied, 'I'm sorry, I can't accept you.' My heart shattered completely.
"April 7, Friday, Overcast.
"Today, I saw Xiao Cheng again. He stood under the sunlight, his smile radiant. I knew I would never be able to forget him.
"…"
Xiao Cheng had read these diary entries hundreds of times.
Every word was deeply etched in his heart.
Only now did he realize that Yun Duo's love for him was far deeper than he had imagined.
Yun Duo's love was like a gentle stream—simple yet enduring.
Her longing for him was as vast as the ocean, boundless and infinite.
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes, and her smiling face filled his mind.
Her smile was warm and gentle, like a spring breeze, intoxicating him.
He seemed to see her again, standing in front of him, softly saying, "Xiao Cheng, I love you."
Time flies, and the years pass swiftly.
Pipi was also gradually aging.
It had always been a stray dog, already suffering from illness."
If it weren't for the clouds bringing it home, it probably wouldn't have lived for two more years.
Now, it no longer goes outside.
It curls up on the cloud's pillow, sleeping deeply.
Its body has lost the vitality of its past.
Xiao Cheng no longer goes out either, spending each day with Pipi.
He knows that Pipi's life is also coming to an end.
Pipi eventually left.
On the day it could no longer move, Xiao Cheng was by its side.
With its last bit of strength, it trembled to stand up and called out in a certain direction a few times.
Then, it smiled.
Its tail wagged weakly.
However, this smile and wagging tail lasted only for a few seconds.
Pipi then fell silent, quietly lying on the bed.
Xiao Cheng knew that it had been taken away by the clouds.
They finally met again.
Xiao Cheng gently stroked Pipi's head and softly said, "Pipi, you went to find her too, didn't you?"
Pipi could no longer hear his words, but the smile at the corner of its mouth still remained.
"Pipi, thank you for staying with her for so long."
"Pipi, I hope you can be happy in another world."
Xiao Cheng looked at Pipi, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
He knew he was about to leave as well.
His consciousness gradually blurred.
Before he completely lost awareness, images suddenly surfaced in his mind of everything the cloud felt while waiting for death.
Pain, loneliness, helplessness, fear, anticipation...
These feelings washed over him like a tide.
He finally understood the suffering the cloud experienced before its end.
That pain came crashing in like waves, slowly engulfing his consciousness.
