ChengCheng's POV

It took effort and a lot of threatening Yorong... but I finally got my answer.

I finally got an answer to what happened to Yuejia. And why she isn't at school, nor even at her house.

I won't go further into detail, but all I can say is that I begged my parents to give me 2 days off of school and I brought myself a train ticket. Now. I just need to find Yuejia.

I looked around the place, or show I say area

I looked around the place, or show I say area. It was beautiful, such a stunning and beautiful place. No wonder this place is such a tourist attraction.

I held a small map in my hand, along with my phone. The weather today was fantastic. Bright warm sunny, breezy too in fact.

After a little bit of wandering around, I made it to a small pathway that had some fruit stands. I walked up to one of the owners and greeted them with respect.

"Good morning sir... Uhm. I wanna ask you if you seen this person." I held out my phone and the owner leaned in and looked at the photo.

"Hmm. I can't seem to remember, but she does look familiar..." He scratches his head, tying to figure out if he knows of Yuejia. "Aha. Hold on. Let me ask my wife."

I nodded my head as he yelled out for his wife to come.

"Yes?"

"Can you come? This young man is looking for someone."

Within a few seconds, a small old lady walked out.

"Oh, is this the young man?" She sang. I smiled brightly as I bowed to her before showing her my phone again.

Don't question why I have a photo of Yuejia...

Okay. I still have a photo of us. Again... don't question it.

"Aha. Yes. Have you seen this girl?"

The lady looked at my screen for a little bit before her eyes lighted up.

"Oh!! Is her name Zhen Yuejia?"

"Y-YES! Do you know her?"

"Oh yes. Her father just died a few days ago. The whole village went to go pay our respects. So tragic too..." She sighed as she shook her head in disarmament.

I think I forgot how to breathe when I heard about Yuejia.

"A-ah-um. Nainai... do you know where she lives?"

"Course." She then pointed her index finger down the street. "Just walk down this road, and take a right then walk a little bit more and find a metal gate. That's her house."

I thanked them both and began my way.

And when I got there. No one was home. I had guessed ahead that she wouldn't be home anyway. So I sat down in front of her gate and waited.
