The moment Xiang Yimo fell into the sea, Zhong Lingling heard a distant and miserable howl, like that of an animal.
She had heard this sound before; it was the same she had heard on the street when she and Xiang Yimo ran into robbers. Only now did she realize that the terrifying sound that day was made by Xiang Yimo!
He must have been unable to let go of her, to emit such a tragic cry. It was so distant it seemed from another world, probably his way of saying goodbye to Zhong Lingling.
Then, Zhong Lingling heard a sound like a large rock hitting the water and knew Xiang Yimo had finally dived into the deep sea.
The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down!
Her legs gave way, and she sat down on the beach, looking at the calm sea surface, crying out, "Xiang Yimo, I love you! I'll wait for you, wait for you to come back…!"
But the only reply was the sound of the waves.
Gazing into the empty depths of the sea, Zhong Lingling's heart felt completely hollow.
