n for long! All she knew was that this man was by her side right now. She didn't care about the future, nor did she dare to make such extravagant demands. All she hoped was that she could hold onto t...Thirty minutes… an hour… two hours… three hours…

Time, it flowed away so quietly. The sky was already bright. Lin Meng stood on the cliff, his figure wavering like a statue. Yet, there was still no sign of Rong Ling. So many planes, yachts, and people scoured the sea surface time and time again, but he had vanished as if he never existed, leaving not even a trace!

The parched tears left a few noticeable streaks on her face. She had cried all evening, and the tears had dried. Her eyes were hollow, as if everything was gone. An endless sorrow filled her, like air that permeated every part of her being.

One night passed!

Under the sea, the currents are unusually turbulent, and no one can predict their path. Once someone falls into them, they may be swept away instantly. Perhaps this is better, offering a sliver of hope, than the alternative – that their body was shattered against reefs or devoured by fish. But this is the ocean floor. No matter how strong a person is, they cannot survive for long underwater!

Time passed for too long, painfully so, but she couldn't afford to despair!

Unwilling to admit, unwilling to give up, no matter what, we have to wait, we have to keep waiting!

Dawn broke, the sky ablaze with a blush like silk unfurled by the wind. But that delicate pink held a touch of bleakness, as if splashed with blood. The sun rose from the sea, its rays dimmed and veiled by clouds, casting an air of listlessness. It seemed even they felt Lin Meng's sorrow!

The wind, still a bit strong, blew the grass that grew on the cliff face until it bowed low. The wind ruffled Lin Meng's hair and whipped up her clothes, whistling and sighing as if urging her to leave, not to stand there any longer, not to wait anymore.

But she, still stood like a sculpture. She stood for an entire night. Her legs must have ached, they must have grown stiff, they must have felt unbearable, yet she was as if feeling nothing at all, just standing there. The wind couldn't move her, and people couldn't persuade her to leave.

Xiao Ba, standing about two meters behind her, shone with a melancholic frown as he looked at Lin Meng. His handsome face, which was typically defined and aristocratic, was now crumpled like a steamed bun, losing its usual cheerfulness and vivacity.

He took a bottle of juice and nervously walked towards Lin Meng again.

"Sister-in-law, have some water!"

A soft voice, tinged with a hint of childishness, held a plea within it. He was the closest, so he arrived first, and without hesitation shouldered the responsibility of caring for Lin Meng. He berated himself in his heart; at the critical moment, he had dropped the ball, failing to mobilize rescue in time. Regret was useless, though, all he could do was try his best within his capabilities. But even with this simple task of caring for Lin Meng, he couldn't manage it.

Lin Meng remained motionless, neither sitting nor eating nor drinking, and even refusing to speak!

She acted as if she were refusing to speak with the world!

This really got his goat!

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever met Lin Meng. He had only heard her voice over the phone before, but now that he finally saw her, he couldn't even be surprised. All he could think about was how to comfort her. But he was so useless; he just couldn't muster the strength!

Lin Meng's stillness once again, seemed as though she hadn't heard him at all, causing him to lower his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, don't do this. If big brother knew, he would definitely feel distressed and wouldn't let me off either. Would you like some water This way, when big brother comes back, you can't faint."

He had said too many such persuasive words, but they were completely ineffective.

He truly wanted to force the water down her throat, but looking at her tense, pale face, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Her whole body seemed taut, all her strength used in supporting herself, waiting. She had no energy left for anything else. It felt like even a sip of water could dissipate the power she was gathering around her. Her profile held an air of dignity that made it impossible to be forceful, even if he wanted to. All his concern and pity were overshadowed by this dignity.

Her gaze, still gazing into the distance. Her dark eyes, looking sideways, transparent as if emptied, lacking luster, or as if her soul had already left. Or perhaps, her body was here, but the soul within the shell had drifted far away, flying towards the unknown, searching for the person she loved most. [..tw super many good novels]

He looked at her tightly pursed lips, chapped from thirst but somehow more defiant. He let out a sigh and silently stood beside her, gazing out at the distance together.

The weather wasn't good, a bit overcast with wisps of clouds gathering in the sky. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds intermittently, as if sighing softly and listlessly. The landscape was similarly bathed in shifting light and shadow, mirroring the unsettled feelings within us all.

Around noon, the wind picked up, and the sun seemed to have wilted, spending most of its time hidden behind clouds. The ground was gloomy, casting a heavy mood over everyone. Looking at Lin Meng, there was a palpable sense of pity in their eyes.

This woman, she just stood there motionless for almost 12 hours. Half a day has almost passed, but no one has been found yet. That man... he must be gone by now

Well, in that case, who could possibly say it out loud They would just have to suppress the thought the moment they saw Lin Meng. They'd have to steel themselves and search diligently. Because, they really didn't want to disappoint this woman. Once disappointed, she would crumble, wouldn't she!

Even if one doesn't know Lin Meng, or isn't very clear about the emotional journey between that man and Lin Meng, this kind of Lin Meng makes it impossible to ignore the importance of that man to her! I have to find him. For this woman, I have to make an effort to find her!

Rescue workers hardly stopped, even their meals were just a few bread and a bottle of water in a hurry. Major forces from China, such as Shi Yu, Xiao Quing, Yu Xu, Miao Qing, etc., all rushed here. Almost as soon as they received the news, everyone hurriedly boarded planes to come. The fastest flight was that one, everyone wanted to be together, finding connections and every way possible to get on this flight and rush over. There were Xiao Yi and two young children among them.

Seeing that Rong Ling jumped from the rooftop that day, Lin Meng fainted and lost her breath in a suicidal frenzy, one should understand that if Rong Ling hadn't been found soon, Lin Meng definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on. No one could predict what she would do. Therefore, Zun Shu, Miao Qing, and others all contacted Da Mang at the same time, asking him to stay by Lin Meng's side at all times, keeping a close eye on her. And the two little ones had to come out. Their mother is strong, with these two children, Lin Meng should have the motivation to live!

Because they were entrusted with a heavy responsibility, the adults didn't hide what happened on Rong Ling's side from the two children. The moment the two heard the news, their faces turned pale, and tears streamed down their cheeks. But these weren't ordinary children. Little You You gritted her teeth, stared into the void, her eyes bloodshot, her expression fierce like a wolf, yet she forcefully held back her tears.

"No crying!" he shouted at Xiao Haohao. "Let's go find Mommy!"

Little Haohao bit his lip, "Um," nodding and forcing back his tears. Then the two brothers, hand-in-hand, walked in silence all the way to now. Along the way, no one could separate these two children's hands. They held on very tightly, taking a hostile attitude toward anyone who tried to separate them. That fierce look directly intimidated the airport security personnel. However, seeing the two children like this, it only made people feel heartbroken. Holding hands so tightly, wasn't it to not lose each other Their father had disappeared, and their family could not afford to lose anyone else, right!

Two children sat quietly in the car, growing closer and closer to their destination. They hung their heads low, lips pressed together, showing no curiosity about the outside world or excitement about their imminent arrival. Even when the car reached its destination and the driver announced "Here we are," the two children remained composed, holding hands as they got out. But the moment they saw the white figure standing on the precipice, they immediately took off running, like little leopards, charging forward with all their might. It seemed that their silence had been a buildup to this very moment. Their small bodies moved with incredible speed, quickly drawing the attention of many onlookers.

The two young children practically pounced onto Lin Meng's legs. Lin Meng's body swayed, but she quickly straightened herself, acting as if nothing had happened and still gazing straight ahead. It seemed that everything was irrelevant to her; in this world, the only thing worthy of her attention was that vast expanse of sea!

Seeing this, the two little ones, who had been holding back their tears all along, could no longer contain themselves and they burst into tears.

Xiao Youyou hugged Lin Meng's leg tightly.

"Mommy, it's me, Youyou. Mommy, look at Youyou!"

Mommy has never been like this, she would never ignore him like this. The moment he hugs Mommy, she would always react, either with a smile or anger, definitely looking at him, she wouldn't be like this, she wouldn't be like this...

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Little Youyou reached out with all his might to hug her. Mommy's legs were so cold! Why wasn't Mommy talking Why wouldn't Mommy look at him What was wrong with Mommy!

"Mommy, I'm Youyou, I'm Youyou. Mommy, look at me, look at me..."

The little boy's cries finally touched her nerve. She finally withdrew her gaze from the distance and, finally, lowered her head. However, perhaps because she had maintained her previous posture for too long, her action of lowering her head was very stiff, like a robot. Even her bones made a "creaking, creaking" sound, as if they had rusted from inactivity after a long time.

"Mommy—" The little one cried out, looking at her with tear-filled eyes. His face, which had been lifted up in a smile, was now damp like it had been soaked in water.

Lin Meng stared blankly at him, saying nothing. She seemed to see him, yet not see him.

"Mommy!" the little boy shouted. "I'm Youyou, I'm Youyou..."

But she seemed to see nothing, still staring at him blankly. Then, suddenly, pink tears rolled out of her eyes, sliding down slowly and leaving faint bloodstains.

"Rong Ling…" she called out in a hoarse voice, her eyes vacant and glazed over. Through him, she saw someone else.

"Mommy!" The little one was frightened, panicked, and scared, crying out in a shrill voice.

Lin Meng trembled as he reached out a hand to touch the little guy's face.

But just as he bent over, his whole body felt like it was falling apart. He couldn't stand up and collapsed all of a sudden.

"Mommy—" the little fellow cried out, hurriedly bracing himself and trying to hug her. At the same time, Da Mang also rushed over, reaching out to steady her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

The bones began to crackle again, "clack clack," like they were coming apart at the seams. The sound was enough to make your heart jump into your throat. She knelt down, but it seemed she didn't notice anything amiss with her body; she didn't feel the uneven ground or the pebbles digging into her skin. Her eyes were fixed on Little Youyou, and her icy hands reached out to cup his face.

"Mommy…" the little one mumbled, watching helplessly as another pink tear slid down her cheek.

Tears, why are they this color!

He reached out his hand, but didn't dare to touch it.

"Don't cry, Mommy, don't cry..." She sobbed herself, but comforted her to stop crying.

Lin Meng's icy hands, held his face, trembling repeatedly. Her fingertips wanted to touch him, but dared not. She trembled many times before, finally, the icy fingertips touched his eyebrows and eyes, as if startled, she immediately retracted her hand, then, trembling, affectionately touched down again. Each icy touch, was like a frosty kiss, with tentative exploration and fear.

Looking at this young face, she could already see the shadows of her father and son. He was becoming more and more like him. So alike, so alike, from his forehead, nose, mouth, to chin...

Suddenly, her eyes welled up. Her trembling fingertips touched his eyes, and she could no longer hold back. With a sudden burst of force, she pulled him into her arms, holding him tightly.

"Woooooo -- Woooooo"

She cried stifled sobs, biting her lip, each whimper turning into a roar that escaped her teeth like an animal. Her body, no longer strong, was frail as leaves in the wind, trembling violently. In the end, she trembled all over, as if struck by a once-in-a-century cold snap. She shook so hard that it felt like her bones would scatter, and she vibrated with the force of an explosion waiting to happen, as if she could shatter if not held tightly.

Xiaoyou's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her arms with all her might, hugging Lin Meng tightly. But even then, Lin Meng was still trembling violently, shaking so badly that she looked like she had been infected with some kind of biological virus, twitching uncontrollably, which made Xiaoyou tremble along with her. Little Haohao, who was kneeling on the side crying, saw this and rushed over, hugging Lin Meng tightly as well, opening his arms wide to hold her close.

Two children, working together with all their might, were trying to hold her down while calling out to her.

Mommy—Mommy—

Among sobs, with panic, with a plea!

"Look at Yoyo, Mommy, look at Yoyo..."

"Mommy, it's Haohào here. Haohào wants Mommy, woo woo, Mommy, Haohào wants Mommy…"

"Mommy, don't leave Youyou, don't leave Youyou, Mommy, Youyou is scared, Youyou is scared..." Even though he was a brave little guy who never showed fear easily, even when hurt he pretended to be okay, now he spoke of his fear just like a pure child.

"Yoyo wants Mommy, Mommy, Mommy…"

The longing calls finally forced Lin Meng to make changes once again.

She let go and hugged the two children tightly, pulling them close into her arms. She buried her head between the two little ones, sobbing hoarsely.

"Youyou, Haohuo, Mommy... I... I lost your... Daddy... I lost him... Woo... I lost him... Sorry, sorry... Sorry..."

I'm sorry, Mommy failed. I couldn't protect your daddy!

I'm sorry, mommy couldn't find your daddy right away!

I'm sorry, Mommy. I can't use it and can only wait here!

I'm so sorry, mommy. I'm the one who hurt you and made you so sad right now!

I'm sorry, Mommy. I was bad and made you worry!

I'm sorry, Mommy, I was no good. I lost your daddy!

I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

"Mommy, don't say sorry, don't say it, Youyou doesn't blame you, doesn't blame you, Daddy will come back, Daddy will be fine, Daddy will come back..."

"Daddy is just lost, when he knows the way, he will definitely come back. Haohuo got lost before too, but when he found the way, he could find his way home. Mommy, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy will be back, for sure he will be back…"

"Mommy...don't cry, Mommy...don't cry..."

Lin Meng bit her lip and shook her head randomly.

You don't understand, you don't understand. I've been looking for a long time, a long time. Your father got hurt too, very badly...

Mommy is so scared, so scared... Mommy's about to give up… Give up…

The thought of him, that place in my heart, would send a piercing pain through me, a chill that ran down to my bones. Just the slightest thought of him... wouldn't he come back The terror of that possibility would grip her, tighten her scalp until she felt on the verge of madness, as if the entire world was about to vanish with it.

...Rongsling...Rongsling...

Where are you, come back here! How could you just leave your little sweetheart like this How could you, how could you!

You can't be so awful, you know what you mean to Xiao Guai. Why don't you come back How could you bear to see Xiao Guai sad, how could you bear to see her go crazy!

How can you be so selfish Once you fall down like this, you won't be able to float back up. What will happen to Little Cutie Without you by her side, Little Cutie is cold and scared. No one can hug Little Cutie, no one will comfort Little Cutie, and no one can protect Little Cutie...

Rong Ling, how can you be so cowardly Were you defeated by just a few bullets What about Xiao Gua You said you would be with Xiao Gua for life. Did your Xiao Gua lose to those insignificant bullets

Ronger, how could you make your little Jia so sad How could you, how could you...

We agreed to be together forever, not for a second, not for a minute, not an hour, not a day, not a month, not a year, but for our whole lives. Such a long life, such a long, long life. How long You leave Xiao Gua alone, what should she do When Xiao Gua is cold, hungry, cries, or gets bullied, what should she do You said Xiao Gua is stupid, so naive. Without you, what if someone kidnaps her

What can I do, why don't you answer We promised forever, where is forever Where is our forever We made a promise, remember Every day less, every hour less, every minute less, every second less, it's not forever anymore!

We agreed, we agreed! You can't go back on your word. We agreed, we agreed...

Pink tears, flowing slowly, gradually deepening, gradually becoming cloudy, with a hint of blood!

Astonishing red!

The red sun had hidden itself among the clouds, as if it had been wounded by that redness. The world suddenly grew dark, a gust of wind swept through, bringing with it a chilling desolation!

Desolate and mournful, stirring the hearts of everyone!

Some people dared not look, averting their eyes or bowing their heads!

Some people were anxious and felt both pity and pain, wishing they could take her suffering upon themselves!

"Rong Ling!"

Having quietly walked into Miao Qing, who had already bent down, he suddenly shouted, his voice laced with a hint of surprise.

As if, he's back!

Lin Meng, as if startled, suddenly raised her head, stretching her neck high and staring with bloodshot eyes, searching frantically.

"Where"

With a swift slash, Lin Meng let out a muffled grunt and fell. His limp body was held up by the little boy, who used his own small frame to support him. The little boy quickly raised his head, his face taut, glaring angrily at Miao Qing with hostility as he screamed!

"What are you doing!"

"She couldn't cry anymore, she would bleed!" Miao Qing sighed, her eyes revealing sorrow, yet not a shred of remorse for her actions.

She crouched down, intending to help up Lin Meng who had been knocked unconscious. But Xiao Youyou stretched out a hand and placed it across her face.

Miao Qing looked over and saw the hostility in the little boy's eyes, as well as his tightly pursed lips that held a cold and restrained chill. There was a hint of Rong Ling's shadow within them!

This is a rejection, but also a defense!

Miao Qing was surprised!

Because she struck that blow, even if she meant well, couldn't the little guy accept it!

"I..." she wanted to explain, but the cold look in the little boy's eyes reminded her of his father! Such a person didn't need explanations, and even despised them!

Then he changed his tune.--

"Sorry!" she apologized directly, even though it was for Lin Meng's sake. But that knife, it was indeed an offense to Lin Meng.

"I only swear allegiance to your mommy!"

She looked deeply at the little boy.

It took more than a minute for the little fellow to put down the arm that had been stretched across his face. Actually, the arm was so short and small that it seemed utterly weak in his eyes. However, he couldn't ignore it! Because of the owner of the arm, because of his gaze, because of the aura emanating from him!

Even though he lowered his arms, his eyes remained cold.

Because she wasn't raised by him, was she! So, trusting her is one thing, but can you fully rely on her!

She reached out and pulled Lin Meng up, but once again felt resistance.

Little Hao's hand, from beginning to end, held tightly onto Lin Meng's clothes. He gripped them very fiercely, like no one could take his mommy away from him. It also seemed as if he was saying, "You can take Mommy away, but you have to take me too."

This one two of --

If it wasn't in such a situation, Miao Qing would laugh.

Now, she couldn't laugh, even though she admired those two little ones so much.

"Your mommy is going through the biggest tribulation of her life, you must do everything in your power to save your mommy!"

The two children didn't speak or nod, but Miao Qing knew that her words had certainly been etched into their hearts.

"Your mommy is too weak, she needs to rest well, she also needs to eat. Your daddy -"

A shadow of sadness crossed Miao Qing's face, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "Your father isn't doing well, but we have to stay hopeful. Before your father returns, your mother has to hold on, she can't give up! Now, Haohuo, let go of her hand. Auntie Miao will take your mother to rest. She needs to rest, she needs a healthy body to get through this time!"

Little Hao lowered his head. After a long silence, he slowly unclenched his hands, with a reluctant air.

Miao Qing immediately picked up Lin Meng and walked toward the car, while shouting angrily.

Keep up, don't lose it!

As if she even needs to say that!

The two little ones glared at each other with icy eyes, pursed their lips, and clasped hands, following closely behind without taking a step apart!aomin not know to call instead, she had to make such a loud fuss, letting the neighbors see!Ruan Chengyi felt a bit displeased. He actually didn't like women who were like shrewish nagging wives. Perh...
