Meeting you in autumn

The next day, Chen Feng was buried in a quiet and peaceful place. Everyone left, except for Guan Qing, who stood silently in front of Chen Feng's tombstone with empty eyes, staring at the bright smile on the tombstone.

She stood there until dark, then slowly squatted down, gently stroking the photo on the tombstone, tears streaming down her face.

"Chen Feng, how could you break your promise! You liar!"

"You said you'd take good care of yourself when I wasn't around, so how did you get sick!"

"Chenfeng, how could you be so cruel! You saved me, and now you've dragged me back into darkness. Chenfeng, please don't push me away in the next life, okay?"

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes…” Guan Qing said with tears streaming down her face, then she gently kissed the person in the photo.

However, since Chen Feng's death, an endless darkness has been hidden deep within her heart.

Depression, this terrible demon, quietly descended upon her, turning her world into a dark and gloomy place.

She began to lose interest in life, and at the same time, she quit her job at the hospital and stopped enjoying the things she once loved.

Every day became incredibly heavy, as if a huge boulder was pressing on her heart, making it impossible for her to breathe.

However, she insisted on visiting Chenfeng's grave every day, sometimes staying for several days at a time, as if this was her final resting place. She fainted countless times and was discovered by staff and rushed to the hospital in time.

Later, her mood became unusually low, and she often fell into deep sadness, constantly immersed in the fact that Chen Feng had left.

She would cry for no reason and feel hopeless about the future.

She began to avoid social interaction, distance herself from friends, and shut herself off in a small world.

Her sleep was also severely affected; she had difficulty falling asleep every night, or woke up in the middle of the night and was unable to fall back asleep.

Her appetite also became very poor, and she often did not eat or drink, which led to her becoming increasingly weak.

One day, she appeared in the cemetery as usual, but this time she only stayed for an hour before leaving.

Many days passed, and Guan Qing never appeared here again, as if he had vanished into thin air.

At a party...

"Xiaoqing, I heard from others that you quit your job at the hospital, is that true?" Shen Jia asked.

Guan Qing raised his head slightly, looked at Shen Jia with a somewhat dazed expression, nodded lazily, and replied listlessly, "Yeah, I'm tired."

She looked incredibly tired and dejected, with no smile on her face, as if all happiness had left her.

Seeing Guan Qing's state, Guan Yu, who was sitting to the side, felt a pang of sorrow in her heart and said to her with heartache, "Xiao Qing, no matter what, you must take good care of yourself!"

Guan Qing forced a smile in response, but it quickly vanished.

She responded softly and then fell silent. Instead, she picked up the wine glass in front of her, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Although the people around him continued their conversations and entertainment on the surface, they all knew in their hearts what had happened to Guan Qing.

Since Chen Feng left, Guan Qing has become taciturn. The once cheerful, lively, and energetic girl seems to have vanished overnight.

Moreover, the diary that was used to record the sweet moments between Guan Qing and Chen Feng has now been completely changed.

After Chen Feng's last page, which he refused to turn to again, Guan Qing's painful memories began to fill the page, each line seemingly brimming with her endless sorrow and longing.

He passed away on January 12, 2023!

January 14, 2023. I came to see you today, but I feel like I can't hold on any longer.

On January 15, 2023, I think I'm sick; I have depression.

January 17, 2023: So this is what it feels like to take sleeping pills.

On January 17, 2023, I think I saw him, so I tried to survive.

On January 19, 2023, I stood on a tall building and thought about jumping off. I did it, but someone stopped me.

On January 21, 2023, she, who was destined to be a hopeless romantic, ended up in his thorny thicket, her absurdity shattered.

Guan Yu was still worried about Guan Qing, after all, she hadn't been doing well. She came to Guan Qing's house alone, opened the door and went inside, only to find that Guan Qing wasn't home.

But she inadvertently caught sight of the three bottles of medicine on the bedside table.

She instinctively walked closer, picked up the medicine bottle, and her eyes fell on the label, which clearly stated the name of the medication for treating depression.

One of the bottles contained sleeping pills!

In an instant, her heart began to race, and an indescribable shock and heartache welled up inside her.

She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, her mind filled with memories of Guan Qing recently.

Those seemingly ordinary low moods and sudden silences now have new explanations.

It turns out that she had been enduring this immense pain alone without even realizing it.

Guan Yu's eyes gradually welled up with tears, overwhelmed by a tide of self-blame and regret.

She blamed herself for her carelessness in not noticing the female lead's unusual behavior sooner.

He regretted not giving her enough care and support, leaving her to struggle alone in pain.

She promised Chenfeng she would take good care of her, but what has she done?!

The thought that Guan Qing might do something foolish made a flicker of panic in her eyes.

She hurriedly called Jing Yi to find Guan Qing's location. When she saw the location Jing Yi sent, Guan Yu's breath hitched.

How did she end up on the other side of the ocean?! What is she planning to do?!

Guan Yu didn't care about anything else and drove quickly in that direction.

"Xiao Qing, please don't do anything foolish!"

As darkness fell, the thick night slowly swallowed the sea, and the waves surged, emitting a low, mournful sound.

Guan Qing dragged her heavy steps, walking step by step into the depths of the sea. The seawater reached her ankles and calves, and the cold was biting, but it was nothing compared to the despair in her heart.

Her eyes were vacant, her face ashen; she could no longer hold on, there was nothing left in this world worth cherishing.

With each step she took forward, she felt she was one step closer to liberation.

Just as the seawater was about to reach her waist, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her tightly from behind.

Guan Qing paused, slowly turned around, and saw Guan Yu's anxious and distressed face.

Guan Yu was panting heavily, her eyes filled with terror, as if she had just experienced a life-or-death crisis.
