Gu Lanshan's eyes welled up with tears again, and she slowly raised her head, lifting her hand to caress his cheek, his eyes, his nose, his lips. In her mind, she could envision his face, so vivid and extraordinary. She gently lifted her head and kissed his lips, whispering softly, "I'm sorry..."
Before Gu Lanshan could finish speaking, she heard a voice from above. Thinking it was a hallucination, she held her breath and listened intently. Indeed, the noise resumed, and Gu Lanshan's heart suddenly filled with hope. Could it be that someone was coming to rescue them?
She raised her hand and gently shook Sheng Shi's arm, "Shi'er, listen, there's a sound..."
Sheng Shi still didn't speak, and, anxious, Gu Lanshan raised her head to look.
The voices gradually became clearer, and at last, through the darkness that had shrouded them, a sliver of light appeared. It was then that Gu Lanshan called out, "Is anyone there?"
