On the day Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu held their wedding, she had only just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days prior. Her husband was a full 8 years older than her.
In the eyes of outsi...
If he could give up everything, abandon his status, and let go of the entire Xuan family's expectations of him, he would definitely leave with her without hesitation.
However, I still held onto my beliefs.
He didn't entirely believe what the search and rescue team said; his little Ruo'er would never leave him so easily.
She is not dead; perhaps she is still somewhere yet to be found.
If she ever comes back and finds herself gone, she will be even more heartbroken than he was.
He knew that his little girl was a crybaby, and once she started crying, no one could console her. How could he bear to give her up like this?
They finally reconciled, and it took them a lot of effort to bring her back to their side.
Why did God treat them this way?
No matter how much time passes, he will find her, even if he finds her when he is old and gray, and her body has long since turned to bones, he will still bring her home.

When Feng Zhiyuan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
He was still struggling to accept that his beloved granddaughter had fallen into the water. When the nurse pushed the gurney in, he anxiously tried to get up and ask her what had happened.
"Where's the girl? Have you found her? Have you found her?"
"Oh dear, sir, please don't get agitated. You're still on an IV drip." The nurse helped him lie down again.
At that moment, Xian Mingyu suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
Ignoring the nurse's attempts to stop him, Feng Zhiyuan pulled the IV out of his hand and gripped Xian Mingyu's sleeve tightly with both hands. "Where's Ruoruo? Have you found Ruoruo? Have you found my darling?"
Hsien Ming-yu hadn't slept all night and looked extremely haggard. The rescue team searched all night, changing personnel countless times, but they still couldn't find anything, no matter how deep they dived.
Xian Mingyu shook his head without saying a word, which was considered an answer to several of Feng Zhiyuan's questions.
"Still can't find her? How long has it been? Who are these people you've been looking for? Did they not even try? How could my Ruoruo be missing! How could she be missing!" Feng Zhiyuan stomped his feet in anger. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe his girl was gone like this.
We need to find the person, whether alive or dead; how could we possibly find nothing at all?
“Grandpa, I know you don’t believe me…and I don’t believe it either…Xiao Ruo’er will be alright…I won’t give up on her, I will continue to send more people to search. You get some rest and wait for my news.” Xuan Mingyu patted Feng Zhiyuan’s shoulder to reassure him.
The nurse helped Feng Zhiyuan back to bed to rest.
As for himself, he would have to go back into the water again; he wanted to search that area of the sea himself once more.
