There seemed to be some kind of secret rhythm hidden in the flow of light and shadow, and she could still catch a faint hum in her ears. "Grandma, is this the jade pendant you have been hiding?" Lin Wan whispered to herself, stroking the warm jade surface with her fingertips, and tied the jade pendant around her neck, keeping it close to her chest.
