In the early morning, Wei Yu woke up.
The pain in the back of his neck made him frown. It took him a moment to recover before he could force himself up from the rumpled bed. When he opened his eyes, the room was in chaos. Memories of last night quickly flashed through his mind, from questioning her identity at the beginning to everything that happened later… Every scene was engraved in his mind. He rolled out of bed and went in search of her.
"Fei Yi?"
"Fei Yi…"
Wei Yu called her name over and over again, looking for her. He deceived himself—she had never left. The warmth of last night had been real. Everything had really happened, so how could he believe that she'd disappeared?
He searched the entire house. There were traces of her life everywhere. There were toiletries on the sink, towels, ladies' slippers on the ground, clothes in the closet, and a glass of water on the cabinet.
They were all traces of her existence.
