The phone kept ringing until it finally ran out of battery and powered off.
Shen Xiaoman sat silently by the seaside alone, the night growing ever darker; the wind blew her long hair while the sea raged with ferocious waves and towering breakers, the sound of the ocean drowning out all else in the world.

In the pitch darkness, she faintly heard Lei Zijia's familiar call, but the wind quickly scattered his voice.
Shen Xiaoman stood up from the rock and looked around; from afar, she saw several beams of flashlight sweeping across the area. It was Lei Zijia coming to find her. She hastily wiped away her tears and crouched down to hide at the mouth of a narrow rock cave.
"Wife, come out! I was wrong, I apologize, this is all a misunderstanding, will you give me a chance to explain, please?"
