The beeping sound from the phone echoed in Yu Sheng's ears and in the silent, dark forest.
She held her breath, listening intently to the sounds on the other end so that she could call for help as soon as Gu Ye answered.
But the call was not answered!
Yu Sheng's heart began to grow anxious and flustered!
"Gu Ye, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone?"
She cried out in her heart...
Yu Sheng didn't know how long it would take for a number to be dialed and automatically disconnected.
Ten or twenty seconds?
It won't take more than a minute!
But that less than one minute of time tormented her to the point of near collapse!
The call was abruptly interrupted the moment the beep disappeared!
When she instinctively reached to press the back button, she hesitated and dialed 110 instead!
While waiting for the call to connect, she thought of what to say.
She had never called the police and didn't know what they would ask.
But I've seen it in movies and TV shows.
The other person will probably ask her where she fell from and if there were any landmarks around her.
She looked around.
It was too dark; she couldn't see any landmarks, and all she could see was a jungle.
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to explain herself to the police.
As I was thinking this, I suddenly realized that the phone seemed to be unresponsive after I dialed it; there wasn't even a beep!
Her heart skipped a beat. She took the phone off her ear and panicked when she saw that there was no signal at all. She held the phone up and searched for a signal in the air.
The search took an hour.
But it still hasn't been found.
The bone-chilling cold air shattered Yu Sheng's will to survive. Her fingers, red, swollen, and stiff from the cold, could no longer grip her phone. Her left leg, which supported her body, was already numb. Her whole body trembled like a leaf, and even her teeth chattered uncontrollably.
The phone fell to the ground with a 'thud,' and she glanced at it expressionlessly, not even bothering to pick it up.
There's no signal around, so what's the point of picking it up?
She struggled to lie down on the ground and curled up into a ball.
When she was thirteen, she attempted suicide by jumping into a lake, but Gu saved her once.
When she was twenty, she was stabbed, and Gu saved her again.
So, as soon as she found a signal, she instinctively called him for help.
She thought he would rush to her rescue like he had done the previous two times!
Unexpectedly...
What is he so busy with that he doesn't even have time to answer her calls?
If she hadn't called him the first time, but instead called the police, she would probably be waiting for rescue now, right?
But it's too late to say anything now!
Yu Sheng suddenly thought of the little match girl.
She eventually froze to death!
Before she froze to death, she at least felt comfort and hope from the faint light and warmth of the match.
But she didn't even have matches.
All she had was a cell phone that was almost out of battery!
Yu Sheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Suddenly, Xiao Cheng's face appeared on the moon. His face was as innocent and beautiful as it had been ten years ago. She reached out to touch his face, but she couldn't reach it no matter what she did...
