He stared expressionlessly at Xiao Cheng for a long time before turning back to the house and bringing out Pipi.
"Here you go," the man handed Pipi to Xiao Cheng. "Take good care of her, or when you see her again, she might blame you."
Xiao Cheng was taken aback.
He knew that the "she" the man referred to was Yun Duo.
He looked down at Pipi, who was also looking at him.
Xiao Cheng's life seemed to have returned to how it was before.
He followed his routine of going to work, coming home, and eating.
But deep down, he knew that something had been lost forever.
Pipi was not close to him.
Xiao Cheng took Pipi back to the original house.
Pipi always stayed in the room where Yun Duo had lived.
It was searching for her scent.
The little dog curled up, burying itself in the pillow, staying quietly.
Xiao Cheng watched it, feeling calm yet empty.
He always felt as if he had forgotten something.
But he couldn't remember what it was.
More than half a month passed like this.
One morning, when Xiao Cheng opened the door, Pipi took the opportunity to slip out.
It ran very fast, and Xiao Cheng couldn't catch up with it.
Xiao Cheng searched all day long, and by the time it was dark, Pipi still hadn't returned.
Xiao Cheng didn't dare to go back; he was afraid Pipi wouldn't be able to find him.
He wandered around the streets near the neighborhood until late at night, but Pipi still hadn't come back.
He had no choice but to return home, planning to look for it again early the next morning.
As soon as he opened the door, Pipi was squatting at the entrance.
Its pair of shiny black eyes looked at him, letting out a low call twice.
Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to pick it up, just like the clouds had once held it.
The house was dark; the darkness instantly engulfed them.
Holding Pipi, Xiao Cheng remained silent for a long time before he gently sighed.
“She wouldn’t blame me,” he murmured.
She didn’t even want to see him anymore.

Colleagues in the company all say that Xiao Cheng has changed.
He has become gentler than before.
It’s clearly the same face, but it feels different.
In the past, Xiao Cheng always had a cold expression and was tight-lipped.
But now, he often smiles at the employees and gently praises them for doing well.
Everyone is extremely surprised.
Privately, they are all discussing it.
"What happened to Mr. Xiao?"
"It feels like he has gone through something significant; he seems like a completely different person."
"Could it be that Mrs. Xiao is pregnant?"
"That can't be it; if she were pregnant, it should be a happier occasion. Mr. Xiao looks like he has been through something quite difficult."
"Who knows?"
During their tea break, the girls gossip in the pantry.
"Hey, have you noticed that Mrs. Xiao hasn't been to the office for a long time?"
"Yes, I miss her so much. She was such a nice person, always greeting us with a smile and never acting aloof."
"Right, Mr. Xiao's recent changes seem to be because of her."
"They're a couple, so it's definitely had an impact on him."
"I really envy Mrs. Xiao for having such a loving husband."
...
Xiao Cheng passed by the break room and suddenly froze upon hearing the conversation inside.
It dawned on him that Yun Duo would never come back.
In the past, she would always visit him at work.
She would bring him homemade lunches and some snacks for the employees working overtime.
Her personality was gentle, her voice soft, and she was always considerate and attentive.
Everyone in the company liked and respected her.
But now she was gone.
She would never return.
Xiao Cheng stood there, motionless for a long time.
