Blurb 1:
Four-year-old Ling Si had a dream.
She found that her feet were stuck in the sand and she couldn’t move. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make a sound. As the tide crept higher, she was afraid.
She was afraid the tide would drown her.
Eighteen-year-old Ling Si stared at the lake right in front of her. One more step, and she would be submerged.
All she could think was:
She was about to be free.
Blurb 2:
When Ling Si was four, the other children at kindergarten ostracized and bullied her. She suffered severe abdominal bleeding and was taken to the hospital.
Her mother abandoned her, and her grandmother took her in.
That same day, she met Qiu Yan, who was in the next class over.
When Qiu Yan saw Ling Si collapse, he hurriedly called the teacher to dial 120.
She heard Qiu Yan say that he wanted to be her friend.
But because she transferred schools, they would never see each other again.
More than ten years later, Ling Si never found the chance to meet him again.
