In a daze, Xiyan heard the sound of water splashing near her ear.
So cold.
But her forehead was burning.
She wanted to regain consciousness to help Ou Jue row, but her limbs wouldn’t obey.
Half-conscious and half-awake, Xiyan whispered, "Are you still here?"
"I’m here."
Hearing his response, amidst her hazy consciousness, Xiyan seed to find a sliver of peace.
Thank goodness, he’s still here...
But what now? Her brain buzzed, so dizzy.
It felt as though she might faint at any mont.
No, I can’t.
Xiyan struggled to hold on, "Ou Jue?"
"Hmm?"
Another response.
Another mont of peace.
No one knew how long it had been. Due to her fever, Xiyan was completely weak, not even able to lift her eyelids.
She painfully opened her mouth, "Ou Jue..."
But this ti, no one answered her.
Xiyan’s consciousness drifted further and further away.
At this mont, a pair of hands suddenly fished her out of the sea.
Her vision darkened, and Xiyan completely fainted.
...No one knew how long had passed.
Xiyan suddenly opened her eyes.
Ah, so bright.
It was noon, everything around her was stark white.
"She’s awake! Xiyan is awake!"
A group of people quickly gathered around.
There was Mom, Dad, Aunt Ou, Grandma Ou...
Everyone’s eyes were red.
Xia Zhiyun imdiately hugged her and cried, "Baby, you scared your mother to death, do you know that."
If anything really happened to Xiyan, she probably wouldn’t be able to live either.
Ling Chen’s eyes were also a bit red, he stroked Xiyan’s hair, "Good child, don’t be afraid, you’re safe now."
Grandma Ou and Aunt Ou were crying, "Good child, it’s good you’re awake, it’s good you’re awake..."
Why is everyone... acting so strange?
Xiyan’s first words were, "Where’s Ou Jue? Where is he?"
Silence... Silence...
A sudden ominous feeling rose in Xiyan’s heart.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, Aunt... talk to , where’s Ou Jue? Answer!"
Xia Zhiyun’s voice was choked, she brushed Xiyan’s bangs, "Your boat had an accident, a lot of people fell into the sea, and many are still missing, Ou Jue is one of them..."
A bolt from the blue—
Xiyan’s pupils constricted sharply.
Missing?
What does missing an?!
Everyone here is an adult, naturally not looking at things too naively.
In such accidents, missing is another term for: this person is already dead.
Only the body hasn’t been recovered yet!
Xiyan still had a needle in her hand, she didn’t care and pulled it out, she was about to run outside without even putting on shoes.
"Baby!"
"Xiyan!"
The parents quickly stopped her, "Where do you want to go?"
Xiyan was agitated, her brain buzzing, "To find Ou Jue, I have to find him!"
"Calm down, we know you’re hurting inside, we are too! The Search Team is still searching along the sea where the accident happened, as soon as there’s news, we’ll be inford imdiately..."
"Let go of , let go!" Xiyan struggled.
Her lover was missing.
His fate unknown.
How could she be calm in this situation?
Who can remain calm?!
Thinking of yesterday, when Ou Jue seed to be saying goodbye, whispering "I love you" over and over again.
Xiyan squatted down, crying uncontrollably.
She cried, and the parents cried too, yet amidst their tears, they still comforted Xiyan.
